I'm hesitant on storing all of my ingots and crafting materials in there for fear of things being lost. But this seems really, really convenient if you can do it.
Nothing stolen by gnomes, But I've experienced glitches upon trying to go to or from the pocket dimension, including some which crashed the game.
I just signed up to post about this. I started up a new character today after all my old saves were trashed in the update, and I was excited about the Pocket Dimension so I would have some place to store my crafting materials. Toward the end of the first level, though, the game suddenly crashed.. The precise sequence of events is as follows: 1) With a full inventory I prayed at a sidequest altar and got a quest to take an artifact to a shrine. 2) I went into the PD to unload some stuff to I could pick up the artifact. 3) I exited the PD and then clicked on the artifact to pick it up and the game crashed. 4) I loaded the autosave, which was right outside the door of the room to the sidequest altar, but clicking on the PD button crashed the game. I can still wander around and do whatever I want, but as soon as I click on the PD button the game will crash. So I guess to answer the first poster: yeah, I've just lost everything I stored in the PD.
I'm not sure... I've done a bit of looking around on the forum, and apparently a save should be a .sav file, along with a "savegame.dat" file. In the "dredmorsave" folder for my character, though, I only have three .dat files (level0, metadata, and savegame) and eight .bmp files. No .sav file in sight, unfortunately.
You want to lose your virginity to the thrusties? I... that is too much for me, pass the brain bleach.
So, um... is that save I uploaded pretty much a wash in terms of salvaging my items from the Pocket Dimension?
Unless you're willing to wait until the fix is released (and I cannot guarantee that it will fix current saves), yeah.
That's a bummer. I lucked out and managed to find all of the special ingredients necessary for a flail of Pleiades on the first floor, and I was building up my smithing so I could craft one ASAP. But, of course, all of those ingredients are now lost in the PD. Oh well. I'm a bit hesitant to start a new character. I've only been playing DoD for two weeks now, and everything worked flawlessly up until yesterday. Now I'm wondering if maybe I should wait until the fix comes out to play again.
As with any indie game, the state of the game is in constant flux; unfortunately, you just started playing around the time of an expansion release which, for any game ever is a tumultuous time. Keep playing, remember which bugs exist, and have fun!
Yeah... maybe I'll just avoid the use of the Pocket Dimension for now. I had gotten into the habit of building up stockpiles by stairways and then lugging them down to the next level when I was finished with that level. I may go back to doing that.
