i cant use the the bottom of the screen its like its in windowed but in fullscreen, also im stuck on zero gramma so i cant see anything ive re-download it multibal times and it just wont work
I reported the same issue about 5-6 hours ago. A quick fix while Dasius finds a permanent resolution is to just right click on one of the two ingots on the anvil and the third will basically appear out of nowhere or just to continue smithing like there are three on the table and your product will come out as it should. Hope this works for out as easily as it did me.
I've also had numbers 2 through 8 happen to me. Although on #5, I like to stockpile weapon heads on the shelves and when I saved the game, closed it, then reopened it they returned to being "hot" which I'll assume is their default state. It was annoying to have to cool everything back down before I could use them.
For #9, crystals aren't implemented yet, he's planning it for update 0.1.2
For #10, yeah it says "Al Rights Reserved" on the title screen. Also notice that in windowed mode the title bar at the top says "My LIttle Blacksmith Shop"
I've had items get stuck inside the table when assembling, but I've always been able to use rotate to free them (tugging doesn't work nearly as well as just rotating the item until it's out of what it's stuck in). I've never had the "ghost" of any object appear in my game. Have you been able to come up with a consistent method to produce the ghosting bug? I'd like to see if I can replicate it.
the ghost part only happen if you are able to sell the item after it gets stuck in the air. and the stuck in the air bit just happens when dropping, rotating or flinging items. also make a tin item and sell it, it will sell as copper. I will upload a video where the floating bug and the gamma bug happens
Actually, I found some more bugs xD
On the actual shop there are some windows, and you can get past through them by simply jumping and crouching in mid-air. You actually clip through the window and the wall that is around it.
Other minor bug that I found was that I made an order, and went to pick it up so fast that the box fell on my head, and then it sent me flying straight up.
An other glitch that I found is that if you sell a weapon to a peasant and save the game after he's out of the shop, and restart the game, he will actually drop the weapon on the ground, so you will get the money of the sell and still the weapon (disassembled and heated blade/blunt)
One more last thing. Seems that if you have an assembled weapon and go to sleep, on the other day it will get the same prefix bug that I mentioned on this comment. It only happened once, but you should definetly give it a check. I ended up selling a Titanium GreatSword for $15!
In response to Cons #2, I was thinking that if the currently selected option was highlighted green it would be easy to tell what's selected. Then for the mouse hover for selecting options, the current method of enlarging the pie wedge and adding text seems clear enough to me. Also, assuming you made a blunt weapon, then put just one ingot on the anvil, the Z menu should have no green highlight when you pull it up (no current selection). I was going to recommend defaulting to blades, but that won't make sense once 1 ingot shields are implemented too.
As a side thought, maybe instead of just indicating current selection inside the Z menu, there could be text or something in the corner of the screen or hovering over the anvil that tells you what your current hammering will result in.
I think those are good ideas, I'll implement that or something similar, to help players know what was there last selection. Shouldn't take me too long to put together.
Thank you!!
this would be perfect, because going safe by SHOWING it would remove the necessity of opening up the Z menu - for me it is bugged after one ingame day of playing, btw :P the curser is not always showing. At the beginning it was always visible and starting from the "menu" middle, very very good if that was always the case.
Could it be because I am playing in window mode and I am doing other things (and not quitting the game so I don't have to cool down shit all the time :P )
It's a bug in the current version. The dev is aware of the problem and is working on it (AI and pathfinding are complicated). I had it happen to me several times, but in the current version 0.0.72, you can just wait a few minutes and they'll stop spinning and leave the area so you can get another customer.
im using windows 8 and have the same issue but i cant cycle trough the quick switcher either. all i can make is swords. and i think the mining is ready to be implemented since i cant play the normal game cause of the switcher i was messing with that for an hour or so and everything ran perfect. drops need to be increased for the lower level ores though. keep the high lvl ores rare.
Hi Th2c! I usually just use the regular handles since the fancy ones don't really increase your profit by much. But I tested out making both copper and iron great hammers with fancy two hand grips and everything worked just fine for me. Which version are you currently playing (the latest update is 0.0.72) and are you making the hammer heads with 2 or 3 ingots? Thanks!
(edited for grammar....twice, sadly)
i have a very similar problem. im running the same version, and i don't think its based on specs, as my specs are pretty different from yours.
WIN 10
intel core I5 2500k
nvidia GTX 1050ti
8 GB RAM
Hey Wolfe I would suggest checking out the forum post about common issues on the games main forums page for this game. For the blur darkness bug just pull up the menu > graphics > click reset at the bottom > then change your gamma to like 4%. Works everytime for me.
If you read My post you'd know that I have tried Many times to turn up my gamma and when ever I click the bar to increase gamma, the game goes down to my taskbar and pops me back onto my desktop I have tried it with the itch.io app and get same issues nor can I reset my settings because the same thing happens
In version 0.0.72, the pricing has all been changed. The youtubers are playing an older version.
you have to go into your graphics settings and raise the resolution and the brightness
the darkness problem can be solved by going into settings, and upping your brightness (it might be called gamma, not sure)
i have a similar problem with the mouse pointer randomly appearing though, and its annoying, because you have to hit esc and then resume to get the cursor to go away (or at least i have to do that)
i don't have the problem with random minimizing though. are you sure you dont have another program that is not recognizing it as a game, and innterupting it, and causing it to minimize the game?
i used to have disable programs such as razer synapse, because the notification for updates would minimize whatever i was doing. when that happens, try to look in your hidden icons and see if something new is opened. if nothing like that happens, then its possible it is just the game being stupid. other than that i would not know how to help without having access to your computer, because i do not know what kind of programs you have.
Others are having the same problem, it has to do with how the weapons snap together using the orientation of the part that you're currently holding with the right mouse button. Read THIS POST, it might help you avoid this problem until the dev can come up with a patch to resolve the glitch. Happy Smithing!
Yes, you are correct. If you scan through some of the other players' posts in this thread you'll see that you're not alone in experiencing this bug. The dev's working on it. If you look under the Updates list on the Trello page HERE you'll see that in the (unreleased) Patch 0.0.73 he's got it fixed. We'll just have to wait until the other issues addressed in that patch are also ready. Thanks!
when I click reset nothing happens it just minimizes the game and when I open it again and go to adjust the gamma slider there's like an invisible barrier keeping from moving my mouse there but once I click on something like the tab for full screen and then click off of it I can move my mouse anywhere but if I try again to click the gamma it just minimizes the game and I have tried the resolution but it's so dark that even if made a difference I couldnt tel
Unfortunately I haven't seen anyone else reporting the game minimizing when clicking on the gamma slider, so I can't recommend a workaround for that at this time (if something you try does end up working, please post it so if anyone else has the same problem they'll know how to handle it).
The only recommendation I can offer at this time would be to delete your settings file which can be found here:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\ShopSim\Saved\SaveGames
I hope this helps!
I'm afraid you've exhausted my (sadly) very limited list of possible solutions. Perhaps when the game is patched, you could try again. In the meantime, maybe check out the community boards Here in case someone else has posted a solution that I have missed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Which version are you running? The wrong material type glitch was patched in version 0.0.72. As for the heated blades/hammer heads, that fix is coming in the next patch. For the weapons falling apart upon load, the dev's working on a solution, but it will involve changing the way weapon assemblies are handled, so we'll just have to be patient with that quirk in the meantime. Happy Smithing!
Hi Quartermaster!
Thanks for all the great input! Here's a little info on some of the bugs you've found:
Again, thanks for the response! I hope you're enjoying this game as much as I am! Happy Smithing!
I tried looking for it all in that order but I can't find that file. Once I open the game the only way I can leave is through Task Manager and I saved the game before I do that, would that cancel the save? I forgot to mention earlier I have not saved this game before because it started during my first gameplay and I didn't know what to do. And the graphics button down won't work I can only go as low as controls and when I go into it and I can't go back so I have to quit the game
Another method of finding the ShopSim folder is going to the Windows Start Menu and typing %appdata% (with the percent signs). For me this pops open the Folder C:\Users\(MyUserName)\AppData\Roaming. Of course I want to look in Local, not Roaming, so I have to go up one level to just AppData, then go into Local, then ShopSim.
I assumed this folder was created upon startup, but you're not the first one unable to find it, so it may only be created upon saving the game.
Also, I'm using Windows 10. I believe the AppData folders are handled the same way in Windows 7 and 8, but I can't tell you that for certain. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the help and I found the saved game. I deleted it but I now have another problem. When I start the game it loads up fine until I spawn in the room, it start out blurry but when I try going to the graphics to reset it the whole game freezes so I have to exit out through alt f4. I'm sorry for bugging you but I really like this game.
Edit: "I found the fix, delete the setting.save file in the Shop Sim file and it worked :D
Each weapon is sold at a 10% markup + charisma + rush. This means each copper ingot used to make a weapon that is sold nets you $1 profit, so the early game goes really slowly. Ignoring the cost of everything else, you would need to sell 500 copper ingots worth of stuff to get a single tin bar. The other stuff is where you make most of your money early game.
Once you get to tin, things pick up a bit. Each ingot is now giving you a $50 profit, so only 20 ingots to get to iron. Once you get there, it's only 50 Iron to adelite, 20 adelite to mythril, 50 mythril to adamantine and 20 adamantine to titanium. Of course, by the time you've got to the higher tiers, your customers will be really impatient making it hard to meet their demands.
O.k. so you are saying it will take a while to get to the higher tier ingots, but it's worth it. O.k. I get that I will keep trying, and about my charisma it's at 6, which I used the redistribute point option to change some things around, and put everything into charisma. Logged off, and when I got back in, it reset the points back to what it was before with the redistribution used. Have you seen that issue as well?
#1: The AI don't seem to notice weapons that you haven't given to them, and in order for the AI to notice them, it has to be outside of, and then enter their 'detection radius'. (So take the weapon off the table, turn around with it and give it back to them)
#2: Sometimes an AI will get stuck, preventing further AI spawns. Usually closing your shop (clicking on the door sign) will reset their pathfinding and let them leave, but if that fails you can walk up to them and push them around.
Keep an eye out for the next patch. Dasius has been working on the heated weapon issue (as well as several other bugs). Here's a link to the checklist he's been working on for Version 0.0.73: https://trello.com/c/MPi62D06/114-patch-0-0-73. Happy Smithing!
Hello,
I have version 0.0.72 and I found a bug how to make extra money for free, by accident. When you place some polearm grip into doors, or somwhere into a place where customer is taking his stuff with him, somethime happens that blade from sword will also jump into that polearm grip. This means customer will pay you, but the blade will remain with you(on polearm grip, so you may need to reset the game), then you can sell it again without buying a new material and make more than 110% revenue instead of 10%.
Take the pole arm with the blade to the anvil and hit the anvil with your hammer. Separates the parts, so you can sell the blade again! (without restarting the game)
Also, all weapon heads can be attached to pole arm grips ;)
I wouldn't have thought of stealing back the weapon heads after the customer has bought it, I thought you needed the workbench to change parts like that.
managed to fix this:
C:\Users\[your user acc]\AppData\Local\ShopSim\Saved\SaveGames
and deleting everything in that folder
Hi James! Quick note about #2: The disappearing ingot issue seems to be the result of an ingot snapping into the same location as an ingot that is already on the anvil. After an ingot disappears, if you grab the ingot on the anvil with RMB and move it around, you can usually wiggle it loose and put it in an open spot. Happy Smithing!
#5: To break things apart on the anvil, you need to hit the anvil, not the thing you want to break apart. It took me a while to notice this, and it worked every time since.
If you have a part (usually grip or guard) that refuses to connect to anything, take it to the anvil and separate it from whatever it thinks it's attached to. This, as well as your #4 issue usually happen shortly after the #1 issue.
@ToxicXender I would love to help you with your problem if I could.
There's a thread on the Unreal Engine forum, UE4 AnswerHub, HERE where several people discuss the issue you're having and it's clear that you need access to the development build of Unreal Engine to implement the solution they recommend. But you don't need the development build to run this game (I certainly don't have the development build). It should all be packaged by Dasius as a standalone executable.
The only solutions I can recommend at this time would be to try following one of these video tutorials for reinstalling the game:
Or try installing the game through the itch.io app: https://itch.io/app, since I'm told that it will help install any missing files/tools that the game requires (I don't know this for certain since I've not had trouble installing using the normal download/unzip method).
Also, check that your antivirus isn't interfering with the download & installation (that has happened to several players as well). As far as I've seen, you're the first player to report the "You do not have any debugging symbols required to display the callstack for this crash" error, so if one of these methods helps resolve your problem, let me know.
I'm sorry I can't be more help than this. Good luck!
Ok Thank You For The Help. I understand that You Cant help me right now and i will try doing it through the app.
i was Told By the creator HimSelf To download i through the Browser becasue i was having trouble with it in the app.
But i can all way's try it again oh and Unreal Engine Does Not Work For Me Since im Using a 32-Bit OS
Yeah, sorry. I believe Dasius has mentioned that the 32 bit version of MLBS isn't as stable/reliable as the 64 bit. There's another patch coming out in the next week or two, but I'm not sure if it will resolve your problem or not. But again, if you do come up with a workaround or solution (even if it's something drastic like reinstalling windows), let us know on the boards here in case someone else has the same problems. Thanks, and good luck!
Unfortunately, reinstalling the game won't fix the problem since it doesn't delete your savegame or your current settings. They are stored elsewhere on your computer. Try deleting the Settings.sav file located here: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\ShopSim\Saved\SaveGames
If you're having trouble finding it, reading this post (and its replies) should help: https://itch.io/post/128793/view-in-topic
Hope this helps!
i thought i'd add to this issue which i have as well i selected to play in full screen mode and it does the same thing... looks like changing graphics in any way messes up the game? also attempting to play in full screen it loads in windowed then shifts to full screen... it breaks at the shift to the super dark and red and red buttons that not all work badness
Same as ayrios said above
"Unfortunately, reinstalling the game won't fix the problem since it doesn't delete your savegame or your current settings. They are stored elsewhere on your computer. Try deleting the Settings.sav file located here: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\ShopSim\Saved\SaveGames"
I believe music settings are coming in the next patch. Currently, you can only adjust your volume using the Windows Volume Mixer. Thanks and Happy Smithing!

Another player reported having the same problem. Apologies, but I am aware of no recommended solutions at this time. The dev responded to the previous post asking about any other conflicting peripherals. You can read that post and its replies HERE. Thanks!

you will love 0.0.73 :)
1) was fixed, definitely!
2) is new to me, I never tried to reset more than once :D
3) yeah dasius said that this is a veeeery minor change
4) this was fixed in #73
5) yeah this has been fixed somewhat around #72 - my way of fixing it once for all was:
* enter game, fix graphics settings
* ender sandbox, fix graphics settings
* enter shop mode, fix graphics settings
Since then everything was settled :)
Correct, when an item gets stuck in the workbench, follow these steps to unstick it:
Happy Smithing!
Hello BlackOreoCookie!
The AI is a little bugged in the current version. Sometimes dropping the item and picking it back up will get them to take it from you. Also, after leaving the shop, sometimes they'll run around in circles forever. When they do this, no new customers will show up (only one customer at a time currently). You can usually unstick the broken customers by pushing them around. With the timers, they get shorter every game day. So you start with over 150 seconds on day one, but after about 15 days you'll only get about 30-45 seconds. Lastly, Dasius has said that the blueprint is currently incorrectly representing the ingot total for making items so in the meantime here are the recipes:
Happy Smithing!
about the no-customers: does your shop door say "shop open" ? if not, click that sign!
then you will love the hotfix released an hour ago, it aims to fix the customers avoiding our shops :O
apart from that, if you played the version that never saved weapons anyway, you will not be able to play properly with this save game, the logic has been changed to account for 1) the heat state of weapons and weapon parts and 2) weapons staying together on loading - so there have been some big changes that would not have worked as import from old save files - soooryyyyyyyy
But the new version features a ton of bug fixes, please grab the latest version, 713, just released :)
hang on YOU have to try that, I do not have your initial issue :/
edit: I just noticed that for me the game defaults to a strange resolution that is not actually the case, so when I do reset or apply without changing that, it jumps to get BIGGER than before, so then I could not fix it IF I had a smaller screen ^^
Sooo double checking the resolution and force setting fullscreen -> window -> fullscreen might refresh the GUI to fix it for you
Im playing on a 50" 4k tv and my computer can handle it no problem. so size of screen is not the issue. its when in fullscreen it will click through the window on whatever is behind it out of the game. after switching to full screen and waiting for it to revert it goes back to windowed mode taking up the full screen. its playable but when i mouse down my task bar will pop up and mouse wont stay in the window. im testing on my old laptop right now to see if the issue is with the update and not just higher end monitors or machines.
Edit; works fine with my laptop. maybe its in issue with large scale or anything connected with hdmi
Edit2; [FIXED] turned down to 1080 and it stopped clicking throught the window. now im having horrible screen tearing. 60hz refresh rate on tv is my fault though. need to get a new monitor for desk.
yeah my maximum is 1080 so I could not even test larger screen resolutions xD HDMI should not be an issue because I am using HDMI and 1080p :)
soooo might be this game is not 4k ready xD
again i made another mistake. Well not mistake actually. Its OS X computers. Which has the apple so yeah. Keep it up!
Yeah the sandbox is a bit buggy, but like dozens of bugs in the shop mode have been fixed :D
Be sure to download the latest version: 0.0.731, it has the fix for heated weapons on reload. You will probably have to start a new game, though. There are compatibility problems with previous version game saves. Happy Smithing!
