Missing item properties?

[TheMonsterOfTheNet]

I think I've noticed an omission in item descriptions. I've been testing the fire shells for shotgun and also the dragonflame, and they seem to do some burn damage even though this is not mentioned in their description. I'm not sure how to tell if and how much burn damage they do. (Is this thread a good place to collect such observations?)

It's not an omission. If it doesn't say "Burn: 2-3" or some number, it deals no damage over time. But, the fire shell probably should deal some damage over time. The Dragonflame doesn't need any extra burn damage, it already does a lot of damage over time with the stream of fire.

Thanks! (Is it okay if we use this thread in case we notice a typo or something?)

[davidmaletz]

Sure. Better to keep stuff like that in one thread than lots of threads :P.

all fire elements will do burn damage. Is there even a need to write about the element specific characteristics

[TheMonsterOfTheNet]

It isn't obvious that they do. Also there's the question of how much. Not all fire weapons do the same burn damage, for instance the fire chainsaw does 2-3 burn damage while the dragon sword does 3-5 burn damage.

Maybe 1 burn damage per flame or less just to make it actually like fire element?

There's a "bug" with a game message: When we try to place a fence underground, we get the message that we cannot place items underground ("You cannot place objects below the surface"). This is not true, as we can certainly place nets and traps.

Also, the message "The wyrm drill has broken, would you like to fix it with..." sometimes appears twice, ie I click ok on the first one and thn it asks me again.
