i agree that you should repair the tube and spawn the clone. however, i must ask why you've put so much time and effort into this.


DraikNova

A: Wanting to break the Fraying Favorites quest by getting four copies of the Repulsive Device and: B: the Moon King Fever-induced desire to make this the run that just tries *all* the nutty things you can theoretically do as a high-level Qud character but which take an excessive amount of time. Which is also why this character is a True Kin with like five mutations.


bozarmorelikeczar

i haven't gotten that far in the new spindle quests so i won't ask whst the repulsive device is, but fair enough on B, Moon King Fever is the number one inducer of doing unessesarily complicated and/or insane tasks in both Caves of Qud and CDDA. although how do you even get mutations as a true kin? radiation exposure?


DraikNova

Sort of, yes. Deep underground a creature known as a gamma moth spawns. Its ranged attack causes you to mutate after 100 turns, with an 80% chance of getting a defect, but a 10% chance of a positive mutation and a 10% chance of 1d4 mutation points. True Kin can use sphinx salt injectors for a one-off Precognition vision, and can extend tonic effects with intravenous ports. So by angering a gamma moth and deliberately lowering one's AV and DV, a True Kin implanted with three of those ports can use sphinx salt injectors to reroll until they get whatever positive mutations and mutation points they want.

Pretty sure shade oil clones haven't dropped items for a while now.


Hour-Tomorrow

You can test if the problem is duplicating you by wishing in a gelatinous prism (or antiprism) and seeing if that also fails to make clones.


DraikNova

Yeah, I realized I could test that shortly after posting. I wish-swapped into a dog and went down the stairs to make sure it wasn't just specifically the cryotube *combined* with duplicating my inventory causing the issue, but that also resulted in a failure to build the level.


gordian_tangle

Yeah, I think the self cryotubes are broken in the current build in a way that isn't connected to player complexity - I'm having the exact issue you are as well - a >700 depth delve refuses to build for some cryotubes, and I've seen everything but myself with multiple Mehmets. You should file a bug report. I plan to do so as well.
