Yeah, my new favourite quote:

We could use the levitating ostriches from the game.

Holy banana! Good spotting Pent. Well, looks like a bug after all. Pretty rare bug though I suppose we can add this to the list. I'd say the second if statement needs an

 && IsPlayer()

somewhere.

Well, it seems to be a real poser. From the code, you have to have the PolyControl state activated in order to be asked the question.

Did you drink from any fountains? I can't remember whether this is a source of lycanthropy or not.

Which reminds me, I need to call my sister in Texas. Happy Thanksgiving!

Maybe the devs didn't see it as such an evil deed, to eat the corpse of a raving capitalist.

Oddly I've been looking at the problem of how fire damage is dealt in an explosion. Each explosion splits the total damage into a fire damage part and a physical damage part. I have found that fire damage from a big mine is around 93, so physical damage should also be around 93. The big mine puts in the biggest hit, beaten only by a blast from a veteran kamikaze dwarf at 112 physical/fire damage. Not sure how much an applied backpack does, maybe around 74.
I presume any character with fire resistance as an intrinsic, will receive less fire damage.

Hey an ideas thread!

I figured out it is currently not possible to dip a bear-trap in a bottle of poison. Might we add this feature to a next release?

Another little update

It's not a major one, but I thought I'd scratch around the code a bit to tackle some functional issues. I haven't managed to come up with a good model for a quantity I like to call "thermal energy", but I think more and more it will need to come into play some time soon.

EDIT: there is too much stuff going on, have now introduced burnt colours according to material. See attached for visual clues.
