U-Umlauts are the most metal letter (as proved in literary masterwork/video game Brütal Legend). The usage of the mechanical-sounding word “Manufacture” when describing how to make an Übergoat as opposed to something more organic like “breed” or “raise” is significant taken in this context, as it implies that the Übergoat has metallic or possibly even robotic origins.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go put on my tinfoil top hat
In that case it’s time to grind Whirring Contraptions. Go Go Robogoat!

Uhm, umlauts really are metal since the Blue Öyster Cult, but they’re also a common accent in German language. I think "Übergoat" only stands for "Overgoat" in German (to match the reference to Goethe).Then again the Übergoat could be a mechanical contraption, only I don’t think the umlaut really suggests it ^^
Really though, the answer is apparently somewhere in the first two pages of this thread before it went off the rails and turned into a discussion about the wiki and creative rights and such. Which makes it seem really likely that it’s just a matter of two goats.
I wanted an epic goat adventure across the entire Neath, just a man/woman/other and their goat on the journey of a lifetime! :(
Either that or Alexis is going to give goats to anyone who pledges more than £50 in a desperate ploy to raise the total end funding from one hundred thousand to seven million pounds.
Pledge £3000 to Sunless Sea, get a free goat! A real one! In real life! It comes with a QR code on the side that lets you get a Goat in FL.

Of course. man/woman/other + goat + fox + cabbage back and forth across the Neath 7 or 8 times in the right order. Clearly.

The only issue is that the goat, being a goat (and an Overgoat at that), will probably eat just about anything if you leave it unattended. Including the fox, your boat and you.

This could be a good deal for them. I had to look it up, and apparently a goat costs: "Between £50 & £300 dependent on age and breed".
It’s not too late, they could put this in the KS!
How much does it cost to emblazon a QR code on the side of a goat (a qroat?) and then send it halfway around the planet, though? That might be a logistics issue.
I imagine you’d source goats there, and get a remote worker to emblazon. Far cheaper than sending a goat. I mean - you’d have to be mad to consider that.
I think you might have to be mad to consider sticking a QR code on a goat in the first place. It’d probably bite all your fingers off and then gambol across the plains, never again to be seen by human sight.
Don’t trust goats.

You left your Sinister Stone Idols unattended; you now have 0 x Crates of Foxfire Candles.

… !!!
I was searching for a picture of an innocent-looking goat (keep safe-search on, folks) to illustrate the ‘Who? Me?’ expression that would greet you on looking for your candles, and found this!

Oh, c’mon, don’t be ridiculous.
Everyone knows Alexis has a fez.

He must take it off to groom his ears?

Oh god! Worse. I just posted a picture of him naked!
I’m so sorry Alexis. Please don’t punish me by telling me the name. Please don’t.
I don’t know if ear-grooming is the right pre-battle tactic before attacking a goat.
Unless he was trying to dazzle the goat with ear lustre. About as likely as anything else, really.

Yes. That’s it. "Ear lustre", not "nudity". Definitely not nudity.
oh dear christ how did we get this far from finding a dubiously extant goat
I’m sorry. This keeps happening to me. I’ve no idea why …
Well my trip to the Iron Republic to see if I could find the Übergoat (see the umlat?) didn’t pan out. Had the Overgoat equipped and my Brass Ring, but no options to improve or get anythign that would help. So that’s a wash…
Back to the Labyrinth. I have a feeling that there’s an option on the THird Coil to help.
