MODDING & DEBUG

[modding] Steam workshop mods now check for updates and prompt downloads if you've declared a version in your manifest.json.
[modding] You can now add HistorySpice.json files to your mod, which will merge with the base HistorySpice.
[modding] Added LoadBefore and LoadAfter to manifest.json, which can influence mod load order without creating dependency cycles.
[modding] The XRL namespace is now checked for type name conflicts, which should prevent cases of silent incompatibilities between mods.
[modding] Map files in subdirectories now merge together by their ID. If no ID is defined, the relative path is used.
[modding] The game is now restarted when the mod configuration is changed to fully unload old mod data.
[modding] Mod approval has been replaced by a one-time option to opt-in when installing a script mod for the first time.
[modding] We added some new features to manifest.json.
- Mod dependencies can now be declared, allowing your mod to require and be loaded after others.
- Separate subdirectories can be loaded depending on what version of the game is running, allowing further mod compatibility.
- Subdirectories can also be loaded only if a certain mod is present, allowing optional interwoven features.
- Defining a manual LoadOrder is deprecated, in favor of dependencies.
- Refer here for usage: wiki[wiki.cavesofqud.com].
[modding] You can now add a 'Textures' folders for your sprites anywhere in your project, respecting your manifest.json directories.
[modding] Added an alert to the main menu if enabled mods are missing dependencies.
[modding] Added a new GetBleedLiquidEvent, which defaults to the old BleedLiquid tag or property.
[modding] XML files loaded by root now print an info block of file counts to the Player.log.
[modding] Crystallinity is now added via its mutation entry, allowing its class to be changed.
[modding] You can now define a 'Reputation' xtag for various state used by the GivesRep part, such as 'LovedBy', 'LikedBy', 'NotDislikedBy', etc.
[modding] Conversation parts now have a disposal step after the conversation is over and no more events will fire.
[modding] Combo options can now define a separate display value using '|', e.g. '0|None'.
[modding] Adding an invalid object to cybernetics population tables no longer prevents world generation, instead logging an error.
[modding] Various methods on Tinkering_Disassemble have been made public & static.
[modding] Added an OptionFlag attribute, which can sync an option's value to a field or property.
[modding] Added a Options.HasOptionValue method to check if an option has a player-configured value.
[modding] Fixed a bug that caused displayed version numbers using the upgrade operator to be parsed as a color code.
[modding] Fixed an exception when specifying invalid attribute requirements for powers.
[modding] Fixed a bug that caused custom clock images to fill the available space in the status bar.
[modding] Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the wrong extrinsic attack to be removed when processing a melee action.
[modding] Fixed a bug that caused the default values of options to be ignored when used as conditions for manifest.json directories.
[debug] Added 'shimmering' wish that gives you the effect of eating Eater's flesh.

I can't get out of being lost

Brand new to the game, went through the tutorial, started a new game with a new character, started in Joppo, left Joppo on a quest, moved on or two squares, BAM, dropped in something underground (no monsters, just dragon flies), and I can't get out. Terribly frustrating, any suggestions. Playing on a Mac, Sequoia 15.5 - Thanks......

I think I see the vision of this game but I really only understand bump attacking.

I'm currently playing with the First Child of the Hearth preset. It's the only one I think I understand playing, especially when it comes to interacting with the world. It's on Roleplay mode. I still have four questions even after playing the tutorial: How do I make more money? How can I identify anything that heals? How do I actually survive combat without losing so much health? Where can I go to find better gear? I have a concurrent Roleplay character ...

big dave's surprisingly small guide on defects

This list is going to work a little differently from the others, since defects are supposed to suck. As per usual, these are my opinions and should not have too strong of an influence over how you like to play the game.

A highly entropic being was disappointed in me because I unequipped their non-unequippable item by going back in time before I equipped it, then they made the reality glitch and the Joppa puddle and Mehmet exploded because of it (rip sweet angel). 1h later, I died by fighting slugs and snails during an overdose. This is one of the best games ever.

Really great game, amazing adventures. But, only if you have as little respect for you lifetime as the developers do.
Too bad I'll never be able to finish it, because even after almost 300 hours in this game I did not have a single run that wasn't ruined by some game breaking bug in the main story line.
Just thought I'd dig it out one more time, cause not only is the game "done" now but also received many more bugfixes after. Nope, another beautiful run, another 30h of my life later and I find myself with another game braking bug, right towards the end.
This is it. I will uninstall this disrespectful piece of garbage, watch the rest of the game that I never go to experience in a stream and then I will never waste another thought on this ever again.

Perma-morphing 5th Girsh, Crystal Delighting it, Killing Algolgot Last....Will I be disappointed?

Alright, here's my plan. I'm already 50% sure I this may not work out the way I hope it does, I'm open to someone spoiling it for me. 1st: Kill 4 girsh (Qas, Qon, Rerm, Shug) (Done already) 2nd: Perma-Dominate Bethsaida (so he's stacked with the bonuses from the first 4) 3rd: Eat crystal delight (as Bethsaida) 4th: Kill the the 6th girsh (Algolgot) Rationale (and hope): Bethsaida will end up with: +50 quickness from Qas and Qon +80 resistances from Rermadon +10 AV/DV and Omniphase from Shug'ru...
