Brian is out of town for a week starting tomorrow, so there will be no patch next week, and we're posting this week's patch today. In the mean time, Jason will be working on our next feature arc, procedural histories for the Eater-Sultans of Qud! More info to come.
We fixed portable wall and changed how it works.
- Portable wall is now a consumable item that creates 9 contiguous wall tiles in a pattern of your choosing.
- Added a description to portable wall.
- Added a new wall type: foamcrete.
In rusty biomes, qudzu now tend to cluster on walls, where they can.
New UI: multiple-choice dialogs and popups are now navigable via the keyboard or gamepad.
New UI: multiple-choice dialogs now respect hotkeys.
Player names are now trimmed of whitespace. This means typing 'space' and pressing 'Enter' while naming your character now gives your character a random name.
We made a few tweaks to the process of curing fungal infections.
- Leech corpses and bloated leech corpses now have distinct display names. This change means it's now clear which corpse is required for the fungal cure, hopefully eliminating the specific frustration of thinking you've cured your infection when you really haven't.
- Salt kraken corpses and worm of the earth corpses are no longer included as possible fungal cure components.
We tweaked the position of the stairwell leading to the lower levels of Grit Gate again. We removed the stairwell added last week, and made the old stairwell in the upper-right corner of the map accessible once you complete the quest 'More Than a Willing Spirit'.
Tinkers now start with freshwater.
The empty glass bottles sold by ichor merchants now properly store liquids.
Fixed a broken sand dune tile on the world map.
Fixed an issue with creature pathing when phased.
The water baron lobby has won a great victory: you can no longer net extra water by pouring water into a pool of more water.
Fixed some weird interactions between bleeding and player mods, including an issue causing the bleeding effect to stack multiple times.
Fixed the 'time-dilated' status effect from appearing multiple times in status descriptions.
Updated the copyright date.
Anthro and phytopologists of Qud are beginning to gain insight into the lives of the Sultans, Eaters who ruled Qud ages ago. Cultural artifacts have revealed factoids such as this one:
- "Near the location of Canontau, Yyroq Mon Mad was captured by bandits. He murdered their leader by writing him out of the annals of history, and was thenceforth known as Inkshouter."
