Infinite Death in the Darkness

We are building city relative deep in darkness. Actually we did already.
Sure, everybody remember that in darkness you will die if any one of your liquids came to zero.
And after you death you will teleport to your Lean-to, which in our case also in darkness. Because we are living there, you know :)
And... die again. Because it is darkness and you blood (for example) is 0. And again. And again. Endless death loop.
Only one existing way to avoid it at the moment is to be fast and use several seconds between die for teleport to Boston and eat something there.

It is ridiculous. And annoying. Please fix it some how.

i dont think it needs a fix since its intentional, iirc.
if you think its ridiculous, dont build your leanto in there untill you have your stats high enough.

For assistance to the new players, remember that death is permanent and your character is gone. Everything else is just knocked out, and you'll get to go back home and dust yourself off.

@Tonky: I thought so, too. I am thinking the first month of beta testing.

Pfft. If you weren't supposed to live in the Darkness, why did they make it so beautiful?

That's not entirely true, though. You have a few seconds to teleport to Boston before you faint again.

It's easily fixed: Don't live in areas that are too dangerous for you. :)

You can live in the darkness. You just need more humours than you have. And if anything, the fix is supposed to become the churches you'll be able to build to raise the civilization in the area.

If you've got time to TP to boston then there's nothing that needs fixing. Pre-Com Beta there wasn't when it was Vclaim claim KO'ing you at your leanto though. That happened back with the stolen Vclaim mess last world where we didn't own the Vclaim the Pclaim was on. It does have ramifications for characters living on a claim that has been overtaken by a village though.

About the churches. By raise the civilization in the area I hope you mean immediate area, and not like, some jerks build a few churches within my general supergrid and suddenly my wonderful dark fortress is now home to innocent wildlife and boring, non-murderific spawns. That would be terrible. If the place I'm living at isn't actively trying to kill me, it just.. doesn't feel like home.
