Core Keeper text errors

	A	B	C	D	E
1	Location	Error type	Error	Suggestion	Example fix
2	Grubzooka flavor text and description Not so picky talent	subject-verb disagreement	"shots" > makes" "Projectiles pierces through enemies" "buffs is gained"	rephrase	"The heavy shots from the Grubzooka also tear down any dirt, sand and turf walls in its path." "Projectiles pierce through enemies" "buffs are gained"
3	Adventure stats Offense stats	formatting inconsistency	"3% mining speed" & "10% range speed" vs. "107.6% movement speed"	make consistent	"+3.0% minging speed" "+10% range speed" "+7.6% movement speed"
4	Various: Slime Sword Encumbering presence talent Slimy bullets talent awkward ones: Escape artist talent Wooden Shield Guardian's Potion	double negative	"slows by -5.0%" ("slows" means speed is reduced by the number that follows. A reduction (aka subtraction) by a negative percentage is an increase. As the text stands, it indicates that slow effects actually increase the speed of enemies. Most people will correctly assume that it works as intended, but the text is ambiguous at best)	remove "-" or rephrase	"reduces speed by 5.0%" "movement speed is reduced by 5.0%" note: already correct in Escape artist talent—"Snare and stun durations reduced by +50%" (personally I'd remove the "+", but there's no double negative here at least), the Wooden Shield ("Shield yourself and reduce any incoming damage by 70%"), and Guardian's Potion ("+16% reduced damage from bosses"—again, the + is awkward, best to remove it unless it becomes totally uniform on all buffs)
5	Various: Lamp Fishing talents Encumbering presence talent Carapace Breastplate	missing apostrophe	"when its powered" "Fishermans luck" "Anglers advantage" "Any nearby enemies movement speed" "resembling Ghorms shell"	add apostrophes	"when it's powered" or better yet, "when powered" (compare Electrical Door) "Fisherman's luck" "Angler's advantage" "Any nearby enemies' movement speed" or "Any nearby enemy's movement speed" "resembling Ghorm's shell"
6	pretty much everywhere	formatting inconsistency (percentages)	one example in the Melee combat talents: Building anger: "Gain 2%" Stubborn fighter "Gain +3.0%"	make consistent	Do increases get a "+", or a word such as "gain" or "increased by" or both? Do percentages have 1 decimal place or not? Or only when said decimal place is not 0? The rule here seems to be that percentages get 1 decimal plays always when the percentage is single-digit before the decimal point, and get 1 decimal place only when that place is not 0 when the percentage is 2 digits before the point. However, the example ("Gain 2%") does not follow this rule, so there are still inconsistencies.
7	Various: Pink/Teal Palace Fish Carapace Helm Decorative Torch Chrysalis Cooking talents Small Lantern	missing hyphen	"odd looking" "chitin plated" "better looking" "chrysalis covered" "Long lasting food" "A weak light to be carried in the offhand." ("offhand" isn't strictly wrong, but it's "off-hand" everywhere else)	add hyphen	"odd-looking" "chitin-plated" "better-looking" "chrysalis-covered" "Long-lasting food" "A weak light to be carried in the off-hand."
8	Gold Crystal Ring Yellow/Green Blister Head	visual inconsistency	"featuring an ancient gemstone" (singular, but sprite has 2 stones) "A yellow/green fish with large bubbles" (fish are both gray but the bubbles are colored, text implies fish are colored and bubbles are not)	make consistent	new sprite with one gemstone, or text becomes "featuring ancient gemstones" " A fish with large yellow/green bubbles"
9	Wooden Shield	"a" vs. "an"	"An useful off-hand item"	correct	"A useful off-hand item" (although useful begins with a vowel, the sound is a consonantal /j/ sound, which takes "a" as its indefinite article. compare "a youthful boy")
10	Larva Hive Chest Crafting tables	phrasing inconsistency	"Less of a chest and more like a living organism." "Alchemy Table" vs. "Painter's Table" vs. "Carpenter Table"	make consistent	"Less like a chest and more like a living organism." or "Less of a chest and more of a living organism." "Alchemy Table/Painting Table/Carpentry Table" or "Alchemist's Table/Painter's Table/Carpenter's Table" (I wouldn't recommend "Alchemist Table/Painter Table/Carpenter Table"—that's the most awkward)
11	Hivemother Chest	name inconsistency	most are "Hive Mother" but the chest is "Hivemother chest" in its name, and calls her the "Hivemother" in its description.	make consistent	"Hive Mother Chest" "a leftover of the Hive Mother."
12	Electricity Stick	dialectical inconsistency	"behaviour" (British spelling, as opposed to American "behavior"—contrast "color(ful)" in Painter's Table, Paintable Floor, Paintable Wall; Mining talent "Archeologist")	make consistent	"behavior"
13	Teal Palace Fish Golden Larva Meat	missing comma	"A greenish-blue odd looking fish" (compare Pink Palace Fish: "A pink, odd looking fish") "Rare, golden variant of larva meat with increased effects." (ambiguous whether the golden version or the regular version has the increased effects)	add comma	"A teal, odd-looking fish" (incl. hyphen from other error, and if the pink fish has "pink" in the description, just put "teal" in the description for the teal fish) "Rare, golden variant of larva meat, with increased effects."
14	health drain/leech effects, i.e.: Clot Ring food made from Vampire Eel	terminological inconsistency	"+3 life on melee hit" this is the only place health is referred to as "life"	make consistent	"+3 health on melee hit"
15	Cooking Pot	comma splice	"Cooking ingredients brings out their full potential, combine two and see what happens!"	change punctuation	"Cooking ingredients brings out their full potential—combine two and see what happens!" or "Cooking ingredients brings out their full potential; combine two and see what happens!" or "Cooking ingredients brings out their full potential. Combine two and see what happens!" personally, I'd pick the —emdash, but most consistent with other text would probably be option 3, the period
16	Wood/Stone Floor Electronics Table Scarlet Fishing Rod	word confusion	"Simple wooden/stone slates" (slate could work for stone, but it's a specific type of stone, and you can't have wooden slates) "electronical" (not used; it's either "electronic" or "electrical", althought the adverb of electronic is "electronically") "for pulling up very resistable fish." ("resistible" is the spelling, and it doesn't make sense in this context, probably meant "resistant" [offers resistance] or "resilient" [hardy, recovers quickly])	change word	"Simple wooden slats" and "Simple stone tiles" "electrical and logical systems." "for pulling up very obstinate fish." (that's the word I'd use, "resistant fish" would be closest to former while still correct)
17	The Core speaking	various subject-verb disagreement missing comma	whole text: "Thou have awakened us... Never have we seen a creature like thee. There once was a thriving civilization here but all of it seems lost. We must have been dormant for aeons. We wonder... (scans) ...We must ask something of thee. Seek the ancient titans still roaming beyond the Great Wall. Destroy them and collect their souls. With their energy we can restore what once was. In return, thou shall be able to go back to where thee came from. With the power we now imbue thee, the Great Wall shall open as thou lay a hand upon it."	necessary error corrections in bold style suggestions in italics	"Thou hast awakened us... Never have we seen a creature such as thee. There once was a thriving civilization here, but it seems all of it has been lost. We must have been dormant for eons. (could go either way, "eons" is American spelling, but you could keep the British spellings for the Core because of it's archaic speech) We wonder... ...We must ask something of thee. Seek the ancient titans still roaming beyond the Great Wall. Destroy them and collect their souls. With their energy we can restore what once was. In return, thou shalt be able to go back to whence thou camest. By the power with which we now imbue thee, the Great Wall shall be opened even as thou layest a hand upon it."
18	Scarlet Shell Backpack	item effect inconsistency	"with lots of space and additional protection." (implies that it gives some sort of defensive boost, but its stats only say +15 inventory slots)	either change description or buff item	description as-is + some kind of defense boost or "with lots of space."
