Yea, unsurprisingly facts are not really that hard to "guess". It's kinda like if you made an addon that just makes the player invincible and wrote "But wääh, now there's no challenge in the game as the player can't lose" as one of the "objections"

…wow. I think you managed to hit every single one of the objections I anticipated in my initial write-up:

Objection #2: "Oh, but you don't need to do Nur. You can always just carry around 200 pounds of potential swap-in gear in your pack for the entire game. I mean, what did you think the I Can Carry the World prodigy was there for?" Storage is what you need the fortress for.

Objection #3: "Water breathing? Pfft. Wimp. You're supposed to just hold your breath really hard and hope you get lucky and find the down stairs before you asphyxiate." Water bubbles run out, especially in a protracted fight. A resource (air in this case) that's finite and non-renewable is useless.

Objection #1: "Aww, but where's the fun if you can't randomly miss out on vitally important gear?" If I can't sit in that water buble and rest my life and resources all the way back to full and my cooldowns down to zero, as many times as I need to, then no, water breathing gear is not optional in Nur.

Water levels as "challenge" is the most boring approach known to man. (And for the record, water breathing gear is an in-game tool; all I'm doing is arranging for that tool to be available when the player needs it.)

Completely is accurate. You don't need to do it, and I'm really curious what you might think a player gains from it that will help them progress in the game. You can access the item vault there if you are a donator, but using vaulted items is expressly not the way the game is intended to be played and if anyone feels they need vaulted items to succeed, they really should spend more time mastering the basics (how to engage tactically, which tools are available universally and when they are useful, when to abandon a fight as a lost cause, which talents and effects to look for when inspecting an enemy and whether they are particularly debilitating to your current character, how and when to prioritize certain stats on gear, etc.).

To the original point of the post, playing on Adventure mode is fine, but if your aspiration is to beat the game on rougelike, then you should play on rougelike to reinforce the habits that will actually make that possible. Learning which zones are worth skipping would be a good one, for a start.

If you offer up a description, however brief, people will be more likely to give the addon a spin and offer up feedback.

Yeah, I'm going to have to revert the map back to the original, I was messing around with making the map bigger but, I need to plan it out better. I'll try to get it pushed out soon (I dont have much free time lately) The bit about Mulfar can be ignored, just a debug menu option for myself while mod testing, it wont be there in the full release.

Ok, I pushed out an update that reverts the map back to the original, if you're playing a game that still has the new forest sections I added, you will need to enable developer mode in the main menu and when in game press ctrl+a and select r) Reload/regenerate zone and level. This will update the map removing my forest areas. I apologize for the inconvenience!

Well, it tells me that you should be using my Nur Kit addon, created out of precisely the sort of frustration you describe.

No right way to play. Enjoy yourself.

I play Insane Roguelike, but it takes me months between wins, trying flat out.

I think I just like watching myself suffer.

More of this game? Count me in, where do I sign up?

Very excited for everything announced here, great to see this game still going.

I don't really understand what you're saying, are you talking about the mod "extra Dungeons"? Because yes, my mod will conflict with it since both our mods attempt to change the same files, so only one mod will load properly if both are installed.

Edit: User TsumiHokiro has clarified the issue in the steam comments, I will start work on a fix when I have the time

Still works and valid in 1.7.4
