| Description | Makes pudding-farming and altar-camping more difficult. |
| When NO_FARMING is defined, puddings divide almost like gremlins do, but
with a little more max HP. Careful farming will yield almost as many two-HP puddings as the original had max HP, but cannot be continued indefinitely. Farming rewards are reduced by making eliminating any death-drops that would have been corroded or rotted by the pudding. Undead-turning abuse is also prevented by making blobs, jellies, and puddings immune to it. When NO_CAMPING is defined, the gods get bored with multiple sacrifices of the same type of corpse. In addition, prayer timeouts increase over time (not much, but should be noticable after extensive altar-camping), particularly after granting an artifact. Should be save- and bones-file compatible. | |

| This seems like overkill, when it might be easier just to twiddle the way puddings multiply. You'd have to REALLY HATE farmers to implement this.[Quote] | ||

| I don't know...it seems to me that all that is needed is to make pudding division respect extinction. You can farm, but now you only get 255 kills.[Quote] | ||

| What is it with patches that overfix problems? I'd think limiting the multiplication possible from a black pudding would fix the problem. Why are the sacrifice and prayer timeout changes needed in addition to the blob changes?[Quote] | ||

| I have a problem with this patch's attribution of puddings as "lifeless". D&D (i.e the pudding's origin mythos) says that "Puddings are voracious, puddinglike monsters composed of groups of cell colonies that scavenge and hunt for food." Hence, the[Quote] | ||
