    I can buy that from the inventor in Tarant right? Or is it somewhere else?

    I believe all inventor merchants have it as a random item. Probably. The foreman in Tarant also has it. And there's a free one in the shipwreck a little ways South of Caladon.

    Argh!

    It's elusive! I go to the inn, sleep till morning, check the two shopowners wares, and neither of them carry it! I've done it like five times now!

    And there's no way in heck I'd make it south of Caladon.

    Could you make it there if you just had the help of a mechanized arachnid?

    What's to need help with? The sunshine? The beautiful Caledonian coastline? There's nothing there but sea and sand.

    Well, whatever. There's a fairly popular mod out there which gives shopkeepers their entire inventory every time so you don't have to power shop. First-time players really shouldn't use it, but if you've gone through a few times already it's really a quality-of-life issue.

    Mod, cool

    Everytime I went near Caladon with my mage, I got ganked by wererats and venom hounds (the emphasis on the plural S). I suppose I'll venture down again.

    By the way, my inventor reached his max in machines, now he's smithing too. He's really good with his revolver now too and Virgil is actually killing stuff now!

    Now, this mod you speak of, what's the name? I've heard of people talk about it before, but I haven't heard it's name. (I wonder if it will work with my mod I have on there already? [Chris Beddoes'])

    Multiple mods can have unexpected results. Good luck.

    Every once in a blue moon the game will throw in a random encounter of, like, twelve wererats or something.
    Theat pack'd tear through Kerghan's castle with little trouble, let alone a measly couple of adventurers.

    Oops

    Oh wait, apparently I've never even BEEN to Caladon! I was going to Cumbria.... lol.

    Hey, you know, I've never gotten past this Ore Elemental in the mountain pass (Black Rock Clan or something). He usually kills me in a few hits...
    Well, this is my very first time getting past that guy and boy howdy, we are stomping arse now! Though, I did catch a glimpse of some Brute Fang upstair which I have a fealing will rip us limb from limb....


    Anyway, what's the name of that mod that gives the store owners all their supplies they can carry?? :-?

    Ok...

    Now, I'm wondering... am I supposed to do something with the minute steam works to get a small steam engine? Because that's the closest object I've ever gotten (for a week now, real time) out of the inventors.

    Alright.

    Ok, I don't need to know the name of the mod because I finally found it (on this site, lol). My question is now: how do I put it in? I made a folder (because there was no \rules folder) and put both files (this is for the download InvenSource1 and 2.mes) into the folder (I also tried just one by itself) but it didn't work.

    Where do I put the .mes files? I extracted them to C:\Program Files\Arcanum\data and C:\Program Files\Arcanum\data\rules but neither of them worked.

    Hehe

    It's like talking to myself. lol.

    Well, I figured out how to put the shopkeeper inventory fix in, and I made my arachnid! Hurrah! I love it! (too bad it weighs 1000 pounds... :( )

    So ends this thread. Shazam!
