Problem first seems to show up in a Player's place - Na's Nook at (Q,11) belonging to SmilingAudibly - where I was helping out with some programming. She's built a little program that should give you a memento once you solve a little puzzle.

I've sorted out a few bugs and now it really should work but doesn't. The debugger tells me that the 'Give Memento' C&C fires but can't find any of the mementos in the Building Inventory. This is bollocks. They're there, I've checked.

OK, maybe I'm being stupid somehow so I decide to try something out in one of my own places. However it turns out that all my characters' memento moulds seem to have disappeared.

Has something happened to mementoes during the crossover? As far as I can tell it seems to be Ms that have carried over rather than been newly created.

The situation:
I have a Place Program at The Cat & Fiddle (R12) that needs to be 40 to 50 rows long: a decision tree (more a vine) for scoring dart throws. I built a proof-of-concept that uses only four rows, with a Roll-to-Thought that checks against various values and sets a Memory, so I know it works. The completed program cluster would need six of these grids to keep track of six dart throws. Each grid would be built on the same decision tree, but would roll a different Thought (and ideally cause different pages to be displayed).

The want/need:
It would be a tremendous time- and effort-saver if I could somehow duplicate the first long grid then tweak the duplicates to apply to different Thoughts/dart-throws.

The Duplicator would have to keep track of all the C&Cs, grids, and rows used so their cost could be accounted for in terms of Supporter Points. The goal is to remove drudgery, not to get something for nothing.

Thanks for the encouragement!

These are some of the suggestions for accessibility fixes I collected from Fodilliklomp and Yog-Sothoth in banter (I also asked Fodilliklomp to Distract me the points for collation into a petition, which they have done, and there may be more coming in a comment). These seem to be organized in ascending fiddliness:





1) In addition to the text-based terrain information from the map, which can be toggled for visually-impaired players, players request that 'Current Square' also include the numerical coordinates of the player's current location.





2) In accessibility skins, consider adding an option that retains the section headings, since some players use these to quick-navigate to various areas of the screen: Fodilliklomp cites the following examples: "NPC dialog (example the basic training), the list of chats, fight text, player vitals, buy and sell confirmation, the text compass on the map, and really pretty much everything else honestly..."





3) Hotkeys for certain frequently-used inventory items and other link features. Fodilliklomp cites the following examples: "things like distractions, MOTD, chat previous, next, and refresh, and butchering a rabbit. Medkit, ration pack, pan and grenade shortcuts in the inventory would be much appreciated as well, or at least ones for quickly skipping to a specific container..." This may be non-trivial considering the interactions with display (I'm thinking of the display confirmation for rabbit-butchering), but it's good to get the idea up here, anyway.





More may be coming, and if other players wish to chip in I will encourage them to update this petition item.

What: if your inventory is very very very full, you can get stuck in a Badnav if you try to view your Inventory.

How: have a huge amount of stuff in your inventory. Open your inventory. The tab absolutely refuses to load, and although refreshing several times changes the url to badnav.php, there isn't anything you can see or click on, not even a whitescreen.

Not sure why this happened last night and not any of the previous times; I'm sure I've picked up more than that before now. Also don't know whether it's total or per section weight, or number of items, or number of different kinds of things? I had lots in everywhere but the bandolier (around 4000 each of logs and stone, a Creator Bundle and a Builder's Box worth of gadgets, 200 herbs, 2000 Cards, lots of Mementos, plus Some Of Everything from the Lodge - could well have been more than 10,000 total items in all inventory sections).

Sessine very kindly rescued me by Sheer Moderator Authority of removing items from my inventory, after we found that resetting my navs didn't work: when I reloaded the page, it just put me back into the (still too-big-to-load) inventory screen.

"I think it's to do with the allowed navs being larger than the field in the account record will hold. But I don't know why resetting doesn't take." - Sessine

When: First happened last night, 18th March, for me. But could have been an Ever Since Ever and only now has anyone been daft enough to try to pick up a backpack the size of a whale.

You examine the hissing, clanking Thing in front of you. It looks vaguely like some sort of decompression chamber, and smells faintly of ozone. It is a Teleportation Beacon; when activated, people using a One-Shot Teleporter can come directly into this Room from anywhere on Improbable Island.

I wonder if this is a bug, or if teleporter beacons are not fully customizable. I paid 12 cigarettes for the change, and I only got the title changed. If they are not fully customizable, there should maybe be a warning somewhere?

Alexander Quandle doesn't always seem to get a double bed bonus from sleeping with his wife. I've noticed that my stam seemed lower than expected on a few occasions now, but I thought that that was just because there are so many other things affecting how much stam you start your day with, that I just hadn't taken something else into account.

Today however, I noticed that it wasn't on the new day screen either, so now I'm pretty sure that something strange is going on.

This doesn't happen every time, that would be far to easy. I'll keep an eye out for any possible patterns. At the moment the only thing that I can think of is that perhaps it's failboat related. The night before I ended up on the failboat, got off with favour and went straight to my bed. (Which is in the Wise clan HQ, one square west of IC).

I'll start keeping notes of when I do and don't get this compared to what I was doing the night before and whether it's a natural new day or a chronosphere, and anything else that I can think of.

WHAT: 'Temporary' changes to HP (increases and decreases, though mostly the latter from what I've seen) are carrying through after DKs. I distinctly remember having about 82 HP at some point (because I messed up and added an Improb Point to HP), but now it's at an even 50 again. Now, we all know that too much HP is a bad thing, but I'm worried that it might get lower than 10 base HP, which if I remember correctly is very bad.

HOW: Just go into the Jungle, get a bunch of temporary changes to the character's HP, and DK. I don't know if this has been occurring across all races, but I know it's definitely happening to Squats. Maybe the Point in HP is causing it as well?

WHERE: Not sure how to answer this. In the... game? It's a fairly general thing.

WHEN: I am... honestly not sure. Daz has been a Squat since the name change, and a Midget before that, except for that one DK where I forgot the name was changed and got a Mutant r6 for my trouble. This hadn't been happening until after the name change, so perhaps something went awry when the race was recoded? I remember that there was a point at which the Squats were, for all intents and purposes as far as the game was concerned, Humans, so I'm assuming the race's code particulars had to be messed with for some reason.

Something odd just happened.

I entered combat with Three French Hens, in the Jungle just outside Improbable Central. All was well. I hit the first French Hen in its vulnerable spots (puzzle combatting away) until I K.O.'d it. All well and good.

But then the Puzzle Combat section was missing for the next hen; all I could do to it was flail indiscriminately (which I did, for one round). The Puzzle Combat section immediately reappeared, and I puzzle combatted away until the second French Hen was down.

Then the same thing happened - in my first round of attacking the third Hen, I could not use Puzzle Combat and had to fight by Indiscriminate Flailing.

I do not know when the problem began; I have only noticed it once so far.

What:

The problem is when fighting more than 1 monster than 1 time, any effects (glory points, loss of stamina (from blows), etc) are multiplied by the number of monsters in combat. Here is a sample, using glory points as an example.

You aim for a vulnerable spot!
You try to hit Wild Horse but are RIPOSTED for 2 points of damage!
Wild Horse hits you for 3 points of damage!
You earn 1,049 Glory Points this round!
Strong Attack coming up! Wild Horse will perform a powerful attack in the next round. Target the attacking body part to try to block the attack, or take advantage of its other vulnerable areas!
You earn 1,063 Glory Points this round!
You earn 1,076 Glory Points this round!
You earn 1,090 Glory Points this round!
You earn 1,104 Glory Points this round!
You earn 1,118 Glory Points this round!

Notice, I earned glory points for each monster in combat, effectively multiplying my glory points earned by 6. Now, this seems not to be much of a problem, because the players are rewarded. But when an enemy does a really strong attack, one that takes stamina away, it is also multiplied by 6. Furthermore, the exp and req. gained by defeating a heard of monsters is vastly diffrent. In the Wild horse example, "You receive 26 total experience!" showed up, enough for only 1 horse. But the req was enough to cover all of them: "266 shiny Requisition tokens are dispensed from the nearest camera!"

How:

You need to fight a battle where there is more than 1 monster, and do one of the following: win, take a hit powerful enough to knock out stamina, take a hit and gain glory points.

Where:

Anywhere there is a multi-monster battle. Example: http://improbableisland.com/runmodule.php?module=worldmapen&op=fight&stam=fight&c=127-142648 (This was the battle of the wild horses.)

When:

Ever since I was high enough level to fight a battle with 2 or more monsters.

This isn't so much a hindrance as it seems to be a game-breaker. When fighting multiple monsters (such as the 9-at-once Pyramids) just a few moments ago, I noticed that the meters for my Chemical Pack were filling at gratuitously high amounts, filling to full after just a couple of rounds when many monsters are being fought at once, then gradually decreasing to normal as each monster is KO-ed. I think the Chemical Pack is having the same problem that Stamina did a while back; it's calculating chemical gain per monster rather than per level.

This can most likely be reproduced by fighting multiple monsters at once and simply closing observing the counter for the Chemical Pack implant. Common multiple-monster encounters include Pyramids, Feral KittyBikes, and Work Experience Lads.

I am uncertain if this is intentional or an actual bug, so I am putting it under a Private Petition.

WHAT: So I decided to try out a Spiderkitty Launcher and found out that the Spiderkitty Launcher Fail debuff is a little strange. In short, during the first NewDay when you purchase the weapon, the Spiderkitties are launched first, and then the damage from the recoil is done to you. Any other subsequent NewDay while wielding the weapon results in the recoil being done to one first, and then the Spiderkitties actually doing the damage. Also, the Spiderkitty Launcher debuff persists even after selling/changing weapons, and even after a Drive Kill.

HOW: Purchase a Spiderkitty Launcher, enjoy, then wait for NewDay to roll or use a Chronosphere.

The "problem" can also be seen in the player's buffs, the order of those buffs in the buff stack is reversed upon NewDay.

I've noticed that using the UV booth will remove your heat level, which is great, but there is a big problem.

I find that after using the UV booth when I have a high heat load the very next round of combat I enter will display heat damage (something has gone horribly wrong etc..) despite my heat gauge being on 0%. If I survive the damage then in the next round of combat everything is back to normal (no heat, no terrible things).
Also I'm not sure if it's intentional but after using the booth my heat level can go much higher than normal, I tried to get back to CC404 a few times with max heat, and ran into monsters, I thought for sure I'd die from heat damage, but I didn't. Instead my standby until cooled showed that it would take 6% instead of the 4% it normally shows for a full bar. So since I was at CC404 rather than spend the stamina I used the UV booth, my heat disappeared, then in the next round of combat my chest explodes.....
I can make this happen every time, just need to go to keetan with a high heat level and use the UV booth.

I seem to recall, dimly, an issue where if your character simply closes the window (i.e. is not logged out, but not actively on the Island) and gets rescued, you get dumped back into the middle of a fight, but then are promptly beaten and sent to the Failboat (instead of an Outpost). Perhaps it's the not formally logging out that is causing the unexpected behaviors? Regardless, this is the first time I've won. I'll try to find an exit and see if I can actually leave.

Hello, a newb here speaking. That is en-ou-ou-beeee.

Was playing an my dumb smartphone and was really immensed in the role playing. Trying to protect Jill-the-NPC-noob, probably more caringly than most newbs would.
And then, because the cheap smart-ass phone has a cheap touch screen, I ended up fumbling and clicking the "Look for a difficult fight" button instead of the "Look for an easy fight". A zombie came up, I managed to escape.
Some amount of fights later, when Jill had 58 out of 110 required money-thingsies, I fumbled again. It was a dwarf. I tried escaping, I tried escaping, I tried escaping. To no avail. I used all my free grenades - the one zap, the one bang and the one whapoomzoomfwhooosh-fire-thingy. And then, two rounds later, I was K.O.

Dunno. Maybe it's not a bad thing for the game - I am hoping to see Jill again, although they are not on the ship, at least...
But it's a bad thing for the N00b. I lost a fight not because of stupidity, but because my phone has a bad screen. I concentrated on clicking the "Easy fight" button, but got in an impossible one anyway. That really broke the fourth wall and gave me a very annoyed feeling on my first hour of playing this game. Not good.

Some suggestions for how this could be avoided:
1) Rearrange the buttons to be Easy - Normal - Difficult instead of Normal - Easy - Difficult. That way, if a touch-screen user fumbles they will choose "Normal" instead of "Difficult". They are more likely to survive that and still learn a lesson (the lesson being, don't do fights using a smartphone if you must not lose a fight!)
2) Increase spacing between the buttons (maybe this could be an option in the preferences?)
3) 1+2 combined
5) Ask for confirmation before letting the level 2 noob with level 1 Jill attack a seriously dangerous monster when on mobile version of the site.
4) Always allow escape from Difficult Monsters if Jill hasn't accumulated the first 110 money yet. If in doubt, only allow escape if it's done as the first move after the beginning of the fight, showing that entering the fight was indeed likely to result through a fumble. This can be either a quiet thing or the monster can "give mercy to the fumbling Jill who clearly accidentally ended up in a battle too difficult for them. Be more careful next time."

This is an UI issue and even though I can role-playing-explain this in my head, it still is in reality a game-external reason for Bad Stuff happening.

I think I will be able to buy new grenades and imagine they are the original gift grenades, but that will take some annoying extra grinding. Also, I really hope Jill won't be terminally upset because of me having had them knocked out... :'(

to clock back down to 0 so you don't overheat or waste

This is really, really tedious. It would be better
if we could just enter the overclocking values directly,

As soon as a Robot decides to clean carcasses. Say, to sell them and earn a bit of money, or give them to friends who will surely view them as a great boon and favor, the flavor text would specify that you get hungry from cleaning the carcass:
"You spend a few minutes up to your elbows in gore, and getting rather hungry."

As Robots can't eat, it's probably safe to believe that they don't get hungry.

Of course, this is in the meatsystem module, and this bug can be replicated by killing any creature with a sizable amount of edible flesh as a Robot, and then cleaning it. The problem was around since man discovered fire, if not before.

Some color oddities I have encountered while experiencing the enjoyable encounter with Rohit, the Robot:

1) After the first scene, /talkcol does not affect your in-map color, while it does in the first.

2)This part of the first scene has the same color, even though it should not be: "Here is my first idea." Something inside Rohit's chest makes an audible click, and his voice rises an octave. You suppose it could be to indicate excitement. "The human body is designed primarily for two things. The first is moving the brain around so that it can find food by which to sustain itself. The second is producing more humans. Therefore, locomotion and intercourse are very important to organics."

Other than that, my eyes did not catch anything.

I've just killed the Drive. On the screen where you chose your race, what should be " The Watcher " has turned into " ` Watcher ", again/still. So there's a " $The " missing, like in petition 287 - but in just one place:

` Watcher smiles. "Oh, they must have drugged you up something awful, poor thing."


(Note: this previews as if there's no stray accent, but I've copy-and-pasted it just as it displays in the game. In case this bug report comes out looking weird, here's a substitute with apostrophes instead of the accents I mean: " ' Watcher " should be " '$The Watcher ".)

Entering Maiko's for the first time has the character speak in ~ instead of their talkcol in "Various students turn around to look at you. "Fine," you squeak."
Mouse Racing has a sentence that says "You can bet on any mouse or any combination or mice".
Oliver of Oliver's Jewelry is a "midget" apparently.
The Mike of Central stops being a Midget and alters his accent and color code (& to 6) when you examine the Haiks.
Another missing space between sentences, in the PSK. "You give a wave and special wink to Emily who is serving drinks to some locals.Dan the landlord..."
Also one when attempting to buy a drink without enough money as well as getting ready to bribe Dan. All three sentences for bribing with one CIG are missing the spaces.
Speaking to Seth also has a few: the two sentences before asking him about manliness/sports, another in the zero Charm manliness appraisal, and a third in the two sentences of him saying his throat is too dry to sing again.
Flirting with Emily is also missing the space between the sentences shown before deciding which flirty action to take.
Asking Dan about Rumors has neither color codes for him or the character.

Not actually a typo, but attempting to bribe Dan with more cigs than you have refers to them as gems.
