Community Review Excerpts

The Diplomatic Barter System
For the first time, 0.12 includes a non-violent interaction with the surface "Humans." You can leave offerings (giant rat pelts, fungus beer) in the Upper Tunnels. In return, humans may drop steel tools or—unpredictably—holy water. Never store holy water near your Shaman's Cauldron.
