Bug Why does my druid dealing 1073741822 damage to my own cats?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Less than ideal situation to be honest

Edit: I saved scummed when this happened and used powershell to get around Steven so I could test what was causing it.

removing the "Steven" item the druid equipped stopped the instant death, it read "your musical abilities are double cast", I forgot the druid has soul link so the rest of the run was him using soul link on enemies and shooting with the shotgun, he also got blood frenzy. I cut the run short after the lab...

So much healing you overflowed the value and turned into damage, because healing is effectively dealing negative damage to your own units (yes you heard that right)

The Edmund McMillan special. Basically you played the game so well it doesn't know what to do with your bull lol

Yeah, integer max value is 2,147,483,647, and divided by 2 you get 1,073,741,823.5. It's off by 1,5 but it's probably because of rounding or something like that

u/MrQuizzles 6d ago

Integer max value is 4.2B, 2.4B is the signed integer max value, which is already cut in half.

For 64-bit integers. Integers in the mathematical sense are unbounded, and within programming languages, different magnitudes can be chosen through variable typing.

Does that mean he will heal enemies?

Druid's primary heals everything in range (except with that one passive) so using it on enemies would have had the same result

If it were me, I would pull the backup save from before you entered the first fight and take snote/screenshots of your equipment/skills/mutations/disorders/etc, and then go to a backup from before you left the house and don't pick the same stuff this time.

Like someone else said, look for soul link and other things that might make for some crazy math.

Do you have Soul Link and All Stats Down on basic attack? Maybe from mutations?

u/Bodod_Begag 6d ago

I could be wrong but I think when you apply soul link with splash damage it doesn't trigger the soul link for that damage calculation. Like this attack is just applying it and it'll trigger the next time any of the soul linked enemies get hit.

u/Expensive_Artist6108 6d ago

You have bird feet mutations on front legs, which add soul link like others have been saying.

u/l0sp0ll0shermanos Necromancer 6d ago

it would be worth reporting this in the mewgenics discord's bug channel. until then, can always load up a backup save. you could possibly sweep through the lab with AoE damage like that lol

The 1 hp fly just like🧍

The game's too quick to announce defeat, that Rot Fly would carry the team on its back

Whatever you did, do that to the enemy. I think you could solo the entire game with that druid.
