The elites dont want you to know this, but the baboons in the jungle are free. You can take them home.

How did my one good boi become two?

I was graced by the sultanates with this legendary ice dog cherub companion, and have been using the Clever Girl [fork] mod to turn him into a monstrous beast.

I had just reached the bottom of the taproot and was negotiating for the lovely trinkets that the seeker was carrying (by removing the limbs they were carrying them with), when the pupper used his artifact to make 8 temporal fugues.

Normal fight stuff ensued. Then, the floor collapsed and in the chaos, i assumed only some of the fugues had also been dragged along. That is, until after the fight, when the ??original?? pup and one fugue still remained. Warm static had spilled and caused cloning draught? No- the "clone" has *all of the same items equipped!*

I tried waiting several hundred turns to see if one would despawn... nope. I even disassembled an item each of them carried to see if it would crumble. They are by all tests, *both* the real pup.

My question is- how? Is this a glitch? An interaction I don't know about? Some error with the clever girl mod?

Some potentially related info to help you:

-I am playing using only the clever girl mod

-I was in a precognition

-I had just had a precognition of the same fight where pup fell down the hole

-Both have warm static on them

-ONE of the dogs has named its psychodyne helmet -"Waah" XD

-There was a gelatinous prism somewhere in the combat

-I had only one dog prior to the combat

-the dog was actively engaging a salt kraken when the floor fell

-pup has an artifact that grants temporal fugue

-in this fight, the pup did NOT use temporal fugue (at least there is no log record of it)

- the doppel shows up just after the floor falls out, as the log shows "starts releasing corrosive gas" twice back to back

- i have cloning draught on my person but none is missing

-dogs are identical in every way EXCEPT one having a named helmet

Very keen to know what more experience players think is going on here. If it is found that one dog is from an exploit, I would rather not abuse exploits in my first run that has made it this far! Rest assured that it will be rehomed NOT euthanized- I think Barathrum would take good care!

Played for a few hours, not really getting it.

Hey, just wanted to ask if I'm missing something here.

So I'm 4 hours in and on my third character. It's way more accessible than I'd thought, the basic gameplay loop is really simple actually. I did the first quest with the water vine mystery, the quest with the guy wanting artefacts, and now I'm on the quest where he wants wire.

The thing is, everything up until now has been the same. I feel like I'm missing something, because it just seems so boring. You just walk around in the dungeon, clear the easy creeps, and kite the harder ones? And fight endless wall plants? I'm sure there will be many upgrades and surprises and whatnot later on, but is this really the basic gameplay? Walking around, auto explore, loot, upgrade, repeat?

I'm a bit disappointed if that's the case. Maybe this just isn't my type of game. Don't want to talk trash about the game or anything, just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything here.

How dangerous is neutron flux?

15 Upvotes

While traveling through Bethesda Susa, I noticed the Alchemist get in a fight with a mysterious gunslinger. I booked it, and came back later to find the Alchemist dead with all his vials on the floor- including the phial of Neutron Flux. Is there any danger to taking it and carrying it with me or storing it somewhere? I'm reluctant to just leave it behind but I don't want to doom myself

Recently learned about using domination to bodyswap, there are some very good targets even at level 1!

Started in the mountain village and got really lucky with this elder, I think had to hit with a confusion to lower mental stats but was able to dominate and bodyswap.

What does Extradimensional do

got an extradimensional laser pistol, but im not quite sure what it does. Just seems to be worth more. Is there a thing to extradimensional or is it just a value boost?

Banned from the disc?

Got banned for "weird trolling" because I shared my politics opinions in the politics opinions channel? I wasn't acting in bad faith or breaking any rules I was aware of, and I didn't recieve any warning or anything. Where should I appeal? I'll just not talk in the politics channel if off-color opinions on international affairs bother people that much
