I just did the rats quest and got no response when I got back to the inn, but I took two very small sidetracks (for goodies) after getting the quest and after killing the rats.

I added maybe 5-6 turns duration between accepting the quest and returning to the inn. So I figured it was either that, or the fact that I hadn't even researched Adventuring yet and the flavor text there implies I shouldn't have been able to enter the inn without it.

I got the rat-reward for the 1st time ever, in 1Z5. Not sure what made the difference, but I think I went straight to it without any detours or distractions.

1Z5??? Hopefully we will be in Beta 3 before then

1Z5 is out. Came Mother's Day I think. Dev's don't have mothers -- they spontaneously generate from coffee mugs.

I've successfully completed the rats quest on 0.32 four times without researching Adventuring. So I doubt that's what is causing the problem.

The previous quest I got before the rats quest was the captured knight. And I choose the +10 sword.

But I got the rats quest after researching some adventure techs.

Did you make sure to get ALL the rats? Better check again, these pesty creatures multiply quickly.

Lol while scrolling over this on my crappy pentium 233Mhz 16mb ram work pc the text can get blurred sometimes and I read 'the rats captured the knight and chose the +10 sword.' I was getting all kinds of fantasies about you sending in a brave hero in order to take care of a rt problem, only to have the rats capture the hero and to keep him hostage for ransom. 'Bring us a +10 sword, or else the hero will get it.'

Unless frogboy makes a dev journal about 1Z5 with change log and everything, I'll keep thinking that minor bug fixing patches are minor bug fixing patches.

We need a way to distinguish between point fixes. It's hard for us to talk about a problem in 1Z4 if it's fixed in 1Z4.2 and we have no way of communicating about what "point release" we're in.

Agreed. The whole 1X thing seems worth leaving to big schedule sketches from devs. Better if each and every update had a unique version number on the splash screen and in the Impulse UI. The current build is either 0.32.1 or 0.33, but it still shows just 0.32.
