@subaru just don't try to cheese the game

I was playing the Alchemist and was fighting the shambler, then used his ability where he summons a the homunculus taking up an enemy slot, then the shambler did the AOE stress/minion summoning move and every time he does that the game crashes, each time i reload the game opens back up on that exact attack. How do I fix this?

@TwistedCricket42 I know I'm very late, but if anyone else wants to remove this:

Go inside of Golem's mod folder (Darkest Dungeon is id 262060 in your Steam workshop folder, Golem is 2418764393 inside of that folder), then go to heroes/golem and open golem.info.darkest and at the bottom of the file, remove this line:
incompatible_party_member: .id golem_limit .hero_tag alchemist

Then you can use Golem with Alchemist, though there may be a reason the Golem mod maker put that in.

I have an Golem from this mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2418764393 and for some reason it won't allow a golem and an alchemist to be on the same team together. Was hoping for Edward and Alphonse. Any fix for it? Posting similar message on that mods comments.

The crash loop bug spoils this mod, shame cos it would be one of my favourites otherwise.

Has the Homunculus bug been fixed yet? I am wanting to try it but....

Crash loop vs Thing from the Stars still not fixed. Do not use the Homunculus skill vs bosses!

Do not view this character as a main healer folks, ive tried few times, never worked for me

deleted the baron using homunculus on the last egg. the battle won right after the homunculus spawned. might have softlocked my courtyard because the baron hasn't registered as being defeated. :/ dont know if he'll be back next time i enter the courtyard, need to grab another invite before i can go back

I have also encountered the crash loop that Jack Ryan and The Boss have, this time against a shambler, please fix this bug because this is an otherwise outstanding mod.

Just Found A Way to Fix Your Save, if you are in a crash loop bug. Disable the mod and then load in. You will lose the character and all trinkets that character had however you will be able to recover the save.


Due to the crashes I wont be using this mod in the future, unless this gets fixed.

Same issue as Jack Ryan. I am fighting "The Thing from the Stars" in the ruins I have the homunculus out and when it uses the return to the stars attack I crash to desktop. Is there any fix for this since it has locked one of my saves.

@AceOfCaydes I just encountered "The Thing from the Stars" in the cove, and the moment it used "return to the stars" attack, the game crashes.
Is there no possible recourse apart from deleting the save and starting a new game?

The mod is pretty fun and I can say I enjoyed it. But there was one thing that has stopped me from using it. I'm not sure if this happened to anyone else but when using the Homunculus ability in combat when an enemy attacked my protected ally and it hit the homunculus it caused my game to crash.
With all the mods I run I didn't think much of it as such crashes happen sometimes but don't stop me from starting up the game again and continuing from where I left off. Yet when I restarted my save it repeated what had already happened, homunculus gets attacked, game crashes. It made my save unplayable and had to start all over.
I wasn't too upset as I love play DD and starting over was alright, but I wished for my experience to be known. But I must reiterate, other than this ONE issue I enjoyed the mod when I played with it, and until this potential issue is fixed/addressed I will not be playing with it again.
Keep up the great work my man. (<- This is not meant to be sarcasm)

Enjoyed playing with the mod, I really think that the game was missing a strong blight-focused healer class.

While I did not have the problem of other commenters myself cause I expected bad things to happen should I do it but maybe it would be worth it to add a warning to the description to not use Homunculus (and Lab Rab) on bosses in general?

There is a problem with the French translation. The text in the forge is incomprehensible. If needed, I can do the translation. I'm on discord @AlbertineCrowley#8647

I feel like I should post my solution to this soft lock if it happens. If you disable the mod then end the fight you can then Re-enable the mod and you will have bypassed the softlock. You will lose whatever trinkets the guy had. I've yet to get the quest for the shrieker(my past comment I meant shambler) so I don't know if you can get the trinkets back that way. I'll post then if I remeber to. But moral of the story is don't use Homunculus on any fight that summons enemies. The game will get stuck in a crash cycle until you do my previous mentioned steps. I hope this comment helps anybody who has softlocked themselves with that ability. I'm just not gonna use that ability, I can live without homunculus. It was weird as shit anyways

This guy will softlock your game if you use Homunculus on a shrieker. Awesome class, He's fun but that move needs to change. It's cool but it's not worth losing 50 hours of gameplay because he softlocked you in a fight.

i also have the thing from the stars crash

Same situation as the comment below. Thing from the Starts tried to summon a shard when I had a Homunculus out, game crashed. Thankfully the Homunculus disappeared after I loaded the save a few times.

Same situation as in comment below. Game crashes when Bosses target global abilities (I think it is mostly the issue with stress aoe), for me I locked my game with The Thing From The Stars, as he used his regular aoe that stresses the entire party and summons a shard. Crash and I couldn't play on this save anymore... It is a critical problem >!<

welp, just softlocked my game with the alchemist... very sad because i was enjoying the heck out of him. but i used my humonculous skill on the necromancers apprentice to kinda cheese the amount of minions he could spawn, but then the necromancer used six feet under that targeted the entire party, and causing the game to instantly crash because the humonculous took the hit for my leper...

On one hand, I think the art leaves something to be desired. On the other hand, the concept and the build is awesome. Makes me think Pathfinder's alchemist with a tentacle was an inspiration?

I've been getting a crash whenever I have a homunculus out and Thing From the Stars uses Return to the Stars.

New info: Glad to say the save editor trick worked, although it did cause a weird stutter for a bit because the game took a bit to realize I wasn't in the Weald.

In anycase, mental note: Never use the Algernon or Homunculus against anything that summons friends.

Cool mod, but unfortunately I may have to uninstall it. The Shambler does not play nice with the Homunculus summon and causes the game to get locked in an unbreakable loop of crashing (or in one case, an outright freeze that I had to open my Windows menu and tell it to Restart to fix).

This class is so much fun and I haven't even gotten far or found trinkets yet!

The Heal Riposte might be a bit op

Sorry, There was a misunderstanding.

I try to translate it into Korean, but where is {colour_start|healhp}? So there's an error.

fixed it, i dont understand anything about the save editor thingy, so i just disabled the mod and entered the fight, you appear with 3 heroes, lose your alchemist but everything gets fixed xd

same here, the homunculus causes a crash when it gets hit by a horror move or the return to the stars move of the thing from the stars

I summoned the Homunculus in the Thing from the Stars fight. My save is in an unending loop of the Thing using the move and crashing the game. How do I fix my save?

I think that the Panacea gourd is bugged. It doesn't cure blight or bleed.

I don't know what caused it. But I had a glitch that wouldn't let me use Algernon.

The mod is absolutely fantastic, incredible mechanics, my only complaint is fighting The Thing from The Stars, summoning Homunculus causes the game to insta crash

I didn't play this class much... unlike the Keeper. She has a pretty cool class mechanic.

game crushstucks when homunculus is used and enemy trys to summon something

Game crashed when used Homunculus and The Thing from Stars used back to the stars.

Whoops, false alarm. It somehow on 6th try let my ass go.

He crush looped me on Shambler... Again...
(Summoned homunculus and AoE attack from Schambler)
It's like a potion in Crusaders Kings 2. 99% to get bonus and 1% to FuKiN diE

First time I've used the character, first encounter, I used algernon on 2 maggots and a spider encounter and my game instantly crashed.

Can someone list the effects of the potions? I have a pile of them in my inventory but I don't want to waste them or find out the hard way what they do

So far an interesting mod. The general look is a bit cartoony. Needs some shading and as yokaisame said the details like buttons and tears to make it fit in more. I also noticed the literary reference with the rat summon. Very clever. Very enjoyable to play.

Honestly, the only thing I'd "change" is add small details to the appearance. Hand looks awesome, the overall outfit is cool and makes her look mysterious but the ensamble feels a bit lacking when compared to the vanilla heroes. Some buttons, specific tears, an inner pocket and the like would go a very long way in the appearance department.
Other than that, this is a very cool class.

if you have a homunculus and an enemy summons anything it crashes the game whenever you try to open it. the only way i fixed it was to delete the alchemist from the mod list but then i lost my alchemist....

Check the discussion section guys.

game crashed when the thing use back to the star while i have a Homunculus

game crashed for the same reason 伽铎 said

If I call a mouse or cyborg during the boss battle, the game will crash when I am attacked or counterattacked, is there a solution, or that I simply added too many mods? (so sad)
