dose the anchor ranch mayor even exsist? when i come there is nothing
An open world, base-building, adventure survival game with quirky humor and Llamas! · By
Game Maker 1.4 is what I am using for this. I'll convert it over to 2.0 near release (it should improve performance).
it worked thanks!! P.s i love your game and the only suggestion i have is to try and optimize the game ^^
no problem! If I can make another suggestion you should add a way to see how many energy you can on your network but apart from that I'm loving it! Good job!!!
Soooo, (Veeeery) minor bug.
When you close the gate while you are standing in the middle of it, you get stuck in the fence.
Encountered this a while back & didn't want to mention it coz its easily fixed by restarting the game & re-spawning. [I guess I was on the fence with this one! (stupid pun intended :-D)].
Anyways, here you go.
Not sure why this is happening to you. It doesn't happen to me so I can't really figure it out.
First try going to options and clicking reset map data.
If that doesn't work can you check your rooms folder and see if steven farms starter file is blank? It should not be.
If that doesn't work go to %localappdata%/Sand_Alpha (type this in the address bar in windows explorer).
if you have a rm_stevens_farm delete it and restart the game.
FINALLY if that doesn't work go to the stevenfarm map. Press the ~ button (to enabled dev mode) and build something. Leave the room, and go back in. Does it have the object?
Please get back to me. I really am interested why this is happening to you. It might be an anti-virus program deleting files? I don't know, but please get back to me about this. Without physically being at your computer it is very hard because I can't replicate the bug.
Press the ~ (or really the ` key; top left) key and the words devmode should pop-up under the clock. It will allow you to open the build menu in other places then your base. Press B like normal. This is a very strange issue. So the starter files are there and aren't blank. You deleted the stevens farm file in the %localappdata%. Can you maybe send me both the files (steven farm and steven farm starter)? adam@truncale.net
I am using Game Maker. I've been making this game off and on for 2 years. It really shouldn't have taken me that long though. Work gets in the way :)
I actually bought the sound tracks and found all the sounds from free sound websites. I do plan on making my own, but I need $ to buy the software. I just really enjoy the whole process of creating it all from scratch.
So the raid system is based off of your base score (which is the house icon at the left) so this shouldn't affect the system. Their are several 'types' of missions for building. One is HAVE X number of things built and BUILD X number of new things. It is definitely cheesing the system; I use it when I retest all the missions :)
I'll look into the resetting data buttons. Maybe I messed them up some how.
I remember now I disabled rotation for the work stations because of the way the items spawned or maybe the UI display? I was probably just being lazy while doing other things and not wanting to recalculate the positions of everything lol
Got this error (and similar errors for punches) during a raid -- happened multiple times in a row but eventually stopped. I was standing at the center of my base not involved in the raid at the time, so maybe something to do with the guards? This is in alpha 0.3.19.
Edit: meant to mention I was in the same base in similar situations in alpha 0.3.18 and did not get this error.
I could press ignore but it kept happening. I'd have a split second in game before another error would pop up, and what finally stopped it was switching from a blank inventory slot to an item. Not sure why. I did not have a shotgun in inventory when the first one happened, I thought to try that once it switched over to something about punches.
Sorry i was really dumb and put the stuff i wanted to sell in buy and the stuff i wanted to buy in sell
I got an error with your current version right now the 0.5.6. I just plop the llama nest and it did this error code

Error occurred when you placed a baby llama and then then a nest. The baby llamas define home as the nearest nest (if there is one). For some reason a variable was not created correctly. The error is now fixed and added into the next patch
ahh I'll check that from the hot bar slot. It could be messed up. I modified that code slightly.
There are backups created in the %localappdata% folder you can try replacing files from there (Check the dates on the files and pick a newer one).
I'll check on these errors.
I believed I fixed both of these errors. The memory error might be a memory leak on my part (but I am pretty good at not creating those; I'll run a test, it has been awhile). Update inbound.
Good to know and thanks for the quick response. I have just needed to replace the CAMP.ini with a backup and it worked! :)
They shouldn't disappear while in your base. They get reloaded when you leave the base and come back. Sometimes They appear in walls lol. That is a bug I think I fix and then it comes back. :)
I removed the player upgrades from the game completely. You now 'level' up as you play instead of paying for levels... and I love that you think the game is great :)
I'll have to remove them from the saved files in the next update. Thanks for the bug find!
I've forgot to mention that this report comes after the deliverer are active, I think that somewhere in the time when they are activated and when they move to the selling booth something is not quite right, but the game was fine itself. It was functioning, but I had to turn the deliverer off if I don't want to get this report. But thats a minor issue I think, maybe it can be some issue with my system itself, I dunno^^
i unzipped everything and i started a normal spawn, i just reinstalled the game and started fresh. things happen with alphas.
humm... I wonder if itch launcher stores files in different places...
But glad it works for you!
ops I'm sorry for not responding about the bug, I was completely consented to a game that I ended up forgetting about the rest! but basically road, dirt, dark sand and rock floors, the bug doesn’t happen with 100% but normally when it happens in a certain place it’s always repeated, and I also wanted to take the opportunity to ask a question the npc’s option to sweep the floor was temporarily disabled ? sorry if this subject has already been said elsewhere and that i came back to this game a short time ago
Make sure you have unzipped all the files before you run the exe. Also in the options menu you can reset everything. See if that helps :)
Was there any change regarding the winds or power generation? as though it might be something involved in some change in the direction of the wind, probably something that has not been applied completely yet, believing that if the energy generation is based on the speed of the wind, probably what is occurring would be winds with negative force making the blades of the windmill rotate in reverse and generate negative energy values.
I didn't directly change anything. Also yes you are correct that windmills are based on windspeed (or technically the windmills rotation speed which accelerates/decelerates when the wind speed changes). Wind direction only goes one way for now. I put a temporary fix that will stop the energy from ever going negative, but I need to see what is causing it
1. yeah i think there error there is the missions get reloaded on that menu. I'll fix that.
2. lol funny :) I can fix that pretty easily
3. Odd. I'll look into that!
Thanks! I am excited people like it :)
I haven't really built it to be online multiplayer. I could (and am strongly thinking about it) add a couch-co-op multiplayer. I could still add the net code maybe to make it playable online. I just don't want to say I will and then bite off more then I can chew and disappoint someone.
Another one today : )
when attaching relay to another which is connected to a switch ( I think? ) connected to gates
Yap, with the hotfix.
well sorry I'm ruining your game lol but I had another crush while exiting the underground with the stone in Raider Camp Beta.
I decided to reset everything except for my camp so I'm redoing the quests cause I haven't done then since v3.5 or something.
So probably I'll find more bugs I will update here lol
yes i'am using the newest, this can happen when i interact with the bed, close game, save, the day ends or i go in another part of the map.
it's random.
i think it is the bed and fireplace that i destroy on the beggining of the game, i'm going to try playing without drestroying them and tell you if the error stil happends or not.
well, i got another error, i was travelling and clicked explore, i travelled 3 times before and no error happend.

Hey just finished the updated story mission - LOVED IT!!!!
Small issue tho, my followers, the shotgun woman and sharpshooter both fires too much bullets. I mean so much bullets. Its like they have an infinite rate of fire!!!
is there a fix for this???
Brand new, after dying on the new map and trying to return to exploration, the map doesn't load and neither does its city points, etc.
very strange indeed. I have a default file for key definitions. It must be because you had a much older version I didn't account for. I am glad you found the solution. Happy gaming!
Thank you for your fast replay. I will try the newest version ASAP.
This weekend I had some time to play the version just before slots for saved worlds. It was even better gameplay than I expected. Pretty intensive and sometimes challenging (especially green gremlin attacking when you explore "distant" place).
Unfrotunately I have spot 3 bugs (or features? - please tell me which are the features for now):
1. This little green guy attacking me was also attacking nomads on that explored land. They didn't cooperate but fight with each other (or rather that was only green attacking).
2. I have spot a scrap vehicle on that land (spacecraft?) with lots of metal. Great source of metal. And lots of clicking ;) . But when you scrap the vehicle (~1000 clicks?) you... gain another vehicle to scrap! It will not disappear! :)
3. Volt-o-meters. I remember that they had a need of power supply from pylons and transformer. Now I was able to use them to power up one of my robots without other support. I am not sure if it has changed, is a bug or I remember incorrectly. Or maybe I made another bug somehow. Maybe try to reproduce the sequence: put a transformer, pylon, vlotometer switch (2x) and farmer robot, then connect everything in a standard way, set up switches options and see that the robot is working. Then remove the transformer and the pylon and your robot should still work.
1. Yes they have different factions. The skeletons should attack the green one though. That might be a bug.
2. That is something I will have to look into! I am proud of you for clicking that many times :)
3. Yeah I noticed that bug awhile back. It think switches are the only thing that is working correctly right now. I'll put that higher on my list to fix.
1. I can confirm that skeletons don't attack green ones. It was hard to check (since skeletons very like my guy), but I could see situation when two of them were standing still and green ball was killing them.
2. Clicking is not the issue. I had some time while watching a TV series at the same time :P. So I thought "why not?". :D
3. So it is not a bug but an exploit! ;)
Anyway, I have to say big "thank you" for your work. It is great! And I can see that the game is still under development, which is not a very common situation here, on this platform. Hope you will find a way to develop it even longer :).
Update about 2.:
The ship has disappeared. After two cycles of clicking. I guess that there are two ships in the same spot and when one disappeared, another was available on the same place.
And don't be proud of me for clicking ;). I have written very simple program to click for myself :P.
Hello 'He who programs'
On starting a new game and opening the build menu the game crashes shortly after when I click or scroll the mouse wheel.
I get the error:
___________________________________________

Found the issue. There was a missing file on my side. I am building now and will upload soon.
probably this exploid hasn't been found before because you can't find it, you basically trip over it, turning it into something pretty hidden, keep up the good work like you always do.
sorry for the delay, in Anchor Rage resource packs such as food and stone are under the shelves, in raider camp alpha there are some gates that are below the floor and are invisible if they are open.
It doesn't appear anything in buildmode to build.
So basically I press b (buildmode) then i press 'e' or 'q', the program stops. (Sand_Alpha.exe is not responding)
The good thing that the song(Audio of the game) is still plays somehow when the program is stop
(Btw I used to play your game before 2 years, it was my fav game, thanks for the game that got me through lockdown:)
This happened during a raid, I have no idea what it means
(in case the picture isn't loading in, here's a imgur link: https://imgur.com/A3MdV2S"
Also my buddies weren't sleeping in the straw beds :( they were just walking inside of it without actually sleeping
It works now.
However, there is an issue.
I have chosen not to take the quest to sell the children to the slaver, doing so resulting in them staying in my settlement.
I have launched the game, and they all walked outside of the borders.
Some of them stuck around near the visible border for a bit, but they all eventually left.
I did unzip it…. But when i tried to load the game again some of my resources are not 0 anymore Example : Metal : 12, when quit and open it back it still 12 but if i get some metal and now the number are 50 then i quit and open it back it reset to 12.. Only EXP, the base number, and the “slave” not reseted to 0 Example : EXP : 1.4K, then if i get EXP and now are 3.2K i try to quit and open it back again it will stay on 3.2K.
I don’t know what causes that i hope you know.
why cant i have more campmates anymore? i have more than 50 beds but it still hasnt increased once its been almost a day since playing ;-;
So, there it says I have 3 members, one of them doesn't have a health thingy on top, and I can't change the job of Duke, the guy with the black hat
I have mentioned this problem before but would really appreciate an update, this the only thing at Steven farm or any other special area on the map and I have reinstalled about 4 times which fixed it once and then broke it again.
