Even being able to nail them in place while open would be a welcome addition, that way it's possible with the hammer if only just a little tedious.
if you hang a glowstick in the frame it keeps it open (in addition to providing light), though i dont think this persists through saveloads (props used to keep doors open through saveloads pretty consistently but it doesnt seem to now, or at least it wasnt for me)
Souhlasím, to mě tam taky štve že nejde některé dveře nechat otevřené. Proč někam strkat glowstick když to jde udělat jednodušše.
Nebo ještě jednodušše přidat možnost na dveřích s nápisem STOP nebo DVEŘE/STOP pro ty méně chápavé,
a nebo DVEŘE NECHAT OTEŘENÉ ale tato možnost má zbytečně dlouhý název
its probably going to be wayyy to laggy if they implement it now but it would be fun for future updates
With the new blood textures, the blood effect now looks outdated compared to the other blood textures.
The new bleeding effect seems to just be a better version of it, so it should probably also replace the other instances of this blood visual.
I agree, these crescents look unnatural, as if there was a can of paint there. Blood drips and leaves round marks according to the laws of physics, it does not choose the shape in which it spreads
Try rebinding things in settings to what is comfortable to you, some of these binds you described definitely aren't the normal default ones.
Co znamená pojem svázat své věci? Ikdyž nastavím v nastavení ZAHODIT PŘEDMĚT na jiné tlačítko pořád hlasí NENÍ MÍSTO !
Možná se blbě chápeme,tak se zeptám jinak. Jak položím kufr když ho automaticky drží v ruce? Za mě je tam jediná možnost a to, ZAHODIT PŘEDMĚT písmeno R. Když zmáčknu písmeno R-ZAHODIT PŘEDMĚT dostanu odpověd není místo. Nevím jestli je blbě nastavený český jazyk ale zahodit předmět u nás v České republice známená ZAHODIT a né že mi vyskočí ikona NENÍ MÍSTO a kufr drží pořád v ruce
For some time now, the big recipe book has no recipe. Instead, there is a notebook with the full recipe in the bunker.
Do you mean the parts of Kerfur-O or Kerfur-O itself?
For the parts, you need the recipe book to craft them. Check the kerfur document binder for the recipes if you still can't craft them to see if you are missing something.
For the Kerfur, you need the head, chest, pelvis, 2 arms, and 2 legs. You do not need the recipe book to assemble it.
I agree, probably my biggest gripe with the game. Some stuff just feels weird and out of place.
If you are turning off shadows, you can also turn off sunlight at the bottom of the Effects tab. It gets rid of the cast light emitted from the sun itself, while keeping the passive lighting during the day.
Some "Find location" achievements seem kind of bugged, and you can just get them randomly whenever. You should usually know when you have gotten one legit, because the thing that caused it will be nearby and visible.
The alarm clock is already there, you just need to buy it. And it is also set up and wakes up at a certain time
The tutorial could definitely have some work done on it. Some stuff is badly explained; explained decently, but there is enough other stuff around it that people just gloss over it; or just not explained at all.
I feel like it does expect the player to check the Hints menu, which is somewhat valid, cause it actually has a ton of useful info when you read through it. Only issue is, it doesn't tell you to, and nobody actually checks the Hints menu when they need help.
0.8.2b added an Item Box to the storage room above the garage, with a little note telling you how to use it. Selling the trash should probably be at least hinted at, rather than directly telling the player to do so. It does have more uses than just selling it, and directly telling the player to sell the trash will probably just make them not explore any of its other uses, like turning it into useful crafting materials that actually sell for more than the bagged trash.
The game is... generally not the most optimized. For now I recommend you turn off volumetric lighting and set shadows to 0 and the sun rays to 0. All of that and set the resolution to 80~ or something.
It's the same story with fps. As soon as I turned off all the shadows, everything was fine.
Let's imagine that setting the frequency is a game with cars. One car can drive in a straight line, from one side of the road to the other. The second car moves in a circle. Somewhere on the road there are points where the car must stop. The regulators that you turn are the gas pedal, only it works like the volume knob on an old radio - when the louder, the faster the speed.
Your task is to stop the cars at the specified points, which are designated by numbers. You turn the knob, increasing the speed to find this point, but you need to slow down to stop in time. Stop the car at the right point. If necessary, back up a little.
Sorry if the text looks a little strange, I am not in a position to check the translator right now.
Or at least have an alarm clock be in the base by default, maybe taking place of the bedside clock. It feels kind of like a novelty item, given that there are other directly provided ways to know the time to wake up that are easier than setting an alarm clock for a specific time.
I don't think anyone is going to be really expecting multiplayer to be added that much if they actually read the literal first FAQ entry on the game's page, stating that multiplayer is unlikely to be added.
"Q: Will there be a multiplayer in the future?
A: Most likely not, due to the lack of networking experience and lack of foundation for net in the game."
Why do people post about multiplayer every day? The dev has said he doesn't plan on adding it. If you want it there is already a mod being made for it because the game does already have mod support. The multiplayer mod was working with the one of the last versions i believe but it was buggy.

-A reply to the literal previous feedback post that was also about multiplayer.
TL;DR: dev doesn't plan on official multiplayer, but there is a mod for it in the works
If a mirror is added to story, it should probably be an optional purchase. There are functioning mirrors in sandbox (one with a proper model, basically seems ready for the normal game) and one in a secret, but they are pretty laggy.
I remember seeing potential stuff about alternate Kel outfits and damage textures, so those would likely come with the mirror and better animations.
This game is a slow-burn ambient horror survival job simulator, where hours can go by with little to nothing happening.
A ton of horror exists in this game, and a lot of it is scripted to happen, but don't expect to be immediately thrown into it. Things start to pick up pretty much immediately after week 1 of Story Mode.
The transformers are meant to be something to maintain that forces you to go far outside, so adding a remote way to reset them would pretty much defeat the entire point of them.
The tutorial does explain selling items in the Interactions section, saying to put the box on the delivery point. Item boxes are further explained in a note inside the base, next to one.
Downloads are far from that slow, even at minimum upgrades and max power consumption. If it is taking several days to download one signal, you are severely neglecting something that affects download speeds. Could be broken servers, or you have not calibrated your satellites in a long time.
Зайдя в панель для поиска сигнала, по нажатию Shift появляются стрелки, указывающие, где есть доступные сигналы, к ним нужно двигать курсор. Сигнал может пропасть, пока ты двигаешь курсор, это нормально, потому просто ищем следующий. Когда найдёщь пульсирующий круг, наведи курсор радара ближе к его центру и нажми Enter. Через пару секунд прозвучит один из двух сигналов: положительный или отрицательный. При отрицательном сигнале нужно снова искать сигнал. После положительного ты сразу услышишь, как тарелки начинают разворачиваться в сторону этого сигнала. Это всё, что требуется сделать на данной панели. Жди, когда все тарелки наведутся на сигнал, после чего переходи к следующей панели с настройкой фильтров.
I feel like part of the initial problem is definitely the required material amounts for a wall. Making a thin wall barely costs anything, but you expand it out by one tile and it instantly doubles the required materials.
I think there should be a falloff in the required bricks depending on the wall size, so smaller walls still require around the same amount of material as they currently do, but slightly larger ones won't cost hundreds of scrap to make in comparison.
Obviously not too much of a falloff (or limit it), so it doesn't trivialize making insanely large structures that would currently cost thousands upon thousands of bricks that you definitely shouldn't be making anyway.
You don't have to run around the dishes and request hash codes again. Just go to the server room at the base and look at all the codes on the console
I like where you're going with this; give Dr. Kel a body pillow. Make it behave sort of like custom posters!
Yeah i know you can get out there and i know there are some easter eggs around but i mean like an actual map expansion.
I've noticed that the dead/low-charge batteries are the first ones taken out of the stack.
I do have to agree though, going to change the flashlight's dead battery only to swap it with another dead battery is kind of annoying.
You can use the keybinds to move objects into storage. just holding the number next to the move or hold option will cause you to move them all very quickly. Same for all the other commands like grabbing things from kerfur and turning on the pc. That's why they have the numbers next to them. Also the "labyrinth" is just an out of bounds area. You are teleported there, or less likely some other place, whenever the game detects that you have clipped out of bounds, it just so happens that hopping on the vending machine can cause you to clip into the ceiling leading to the out of bounds teleportation.
>"You can use the keybinds to move objects into storage"
my issue is specifically moving things OUT of storage, since you can't use the keybinds for that and have to click the thing each time
>"Same for all the other commands like grabbing things from kerfur and turning on the pc."
what are you talking about???? OF COURSE I KNOW THIS??? my issue with Kerfur-O holding items is that you can't directly grab the item itself back, you have to manage around and look at him, then go to Take_object and then you can hold it, which is less convenient than doing like you do with literally every other item in the game and just looking at it then pressing E
>"Also the "labyrinth" is just an out of bounds area [...]"
yes i know about the labyrinth, that's why i mentioned it by name. my "issue" is just commenting on the fact that you can access it very easily by climbing the vending machine. i did it to let the dev know about it and asking to leave it in the game IF it wasn't intentional since its so out of the way (and 1: the game saves right before you get sent there so it wouldn't break anything anyway and 2: its just a fun thing! like the triangle next to the mailbox to go under the base)
You aren't softlocked if you save at 0 HP normally, as it sets you to like 0.001 health when you load in. You only get softlocked if something is actively killing you when you save at 0 HP, like radiation or bleed damage.
Maxwell's music being quiet after being found is intentional, because it could originally somewhat take away from the horror. Though, with the existence of The Funny Setting that unlocks similarly silly things that can also take away from the horror, it feels a bit obsolete now.
if you take enough damage to get killed you will probably be bleeding right after it, which will probably kill you when you go back. im speaking on experience, but yes, technically if you aren't bleeding or dying of radiation i guess you could survive it???? the only thing is that when i went to edit the save file so i wasn't dead, my hp value was at 0
my only concern about this is if the game autosaves when you're already dead or if you're bleeding when you're about to die. the game 100% shouldn't be able to be autosaved if you're dead and your screen is red and shit. what's more discussible is: if you should be able to save while dead, if the game should (auto)save things that could kill you once loaded (like bleeding), and if there should be any external system that would fix specifically this problem (as in a failsafe or something that prevents you from spawning already dead, or even something you can do in the load menu to unstuck yourself, at least without wiping your inventory)
or you can just get fucked and go back 10 or so minutes worth of progress L bozo shoulda saved every step you took
have it in your inventory and while grabbing (not holding) something next to a wall, press middle mouse button. its really janky and it has to be still for a second or two before you can actually glue it
That isn't glue, that is just an individual feature that does not require it. It's just meant to help with nailing objects down/together that are off the ground by holding the object in place without player input, so it isn't meant to stay between reloads.
I was also initially salty about it, too, but I soon came to see that sandbox has it's reasoning to be locked behind at least a certain point of the story. This is an atmospheric simulator horror game, and sandbox I feel gives far too much freedom to the player to just be unlocked right off the bat.
There is a level of discovery in the game that I feel instantly having sandbox unlocked would potentially discredit. Normally by the time you unlock sandbox, you have likely experienced enough of the game and it's story content that you are "worthy" of having access to the ability to mess around with it. But if sandbox was instantly unlocked, rather than experiencing an discovering everything in the game naturally over time, a new player could just go through it all at once with cheats.
Additionally, sandbox doesn't let you move items outside of sandbox saves without exploits, so you wouldn't have been able to do anything with the spawned keycard anyway. Unrestricted cheat access outside of sandbox does exist as one of the Patreon supporter rewards.
I think the sandbox is closed for the player's safety, so that he doesn't spoil anything interesting that can be found in the story mode.
I feel like most of the smaller mysteries in the game are meant to just be a thing that the player discovers and thinks about on their own, with little to no handholding or direct messages telling them why.
An observant player can probably connect some of the dots. Their shrimp has begun randomly disappearing, and the camp they found in the forest also has empty shrimp packs in it, so they might connect the dots and think "Whoever lives here likes shrimp." After touching the box or stealing something, a player might notice the Slapper before they get hit, or they might not and simply be clueless as to what happened.
I understand the game isn't supposed to be handholdy, and I think that's fine.
I suppose I only get frustrated when I actually die. I don't mind not understanding things, but when I get kicked back to the main menu and am loading a save, I am being directly punished. Punishing the player for something you don't want to dissuade is a mistake imo.
If my experience is the intended one, that's fine. But from my perspective it doesn't feel great, and the stuff with the gun feels misleading. (there were no shrimp packs fwiw, the only items there were the lamp, chest, and the "too hot to pick up" item.) (also, afaik there is only 1 shrimp pack in the game, so like it's a singular dot to try and connect) I did find the shrimp packs when reloading my save and looking again.
Like if I hadn't looked stuff up, I probably would assume the aliens are always hostile, and never try to interact/investigate with that part of the game again. This is the first direct encounter with aliens I've had, so I would probably assume all aliens are hostile, and that the game operates like any survival horror at this point.
I agree really hard with this, I just started playing the game and even after the tutorial I feel like I have no clue wtf I need to do to avoid dying. I only got to day two before the sun turned into a black square and an invisible skeleton killed me by ragdolling me into a corner. This game seems really really cool and I want to get into it but it's really hard to commit when I keep dying to shit that feels totally random.
There isn't really that much you need to know about avoiding death in this game. You mainly really only need some basic survival instincts, like eating food so you don't starve to death, not jumping off cliffs, establishing what things are dangerous so you know to avoid them, etc. There is zero punishment for death other than being sent back to your last save, so you can spend as much time as you want learning what is or isn't dangerous and subsequently how to deal with it.
Though, I will not lie that some deaths can absolutely be BS. Physics sometimes randomly bugs out and kills you, and some pretty bad luck can cast upon you insane dangers when you aren't prepared for them in the slightest.
You got a combination of 2 things:
On the 24th of any month IRL, a guaranteed event will happen where the sun will become censored and begin killing you. There isn't any way to deal with it directly other than just waiting the day out, so you simply just chose a bad day to start playing.
From your description of it, it sounds like you then encountered the Insomniac: a hallucinatory manifestation of your lack of sleep. It appears when you are below 20 stamina, and can be banished simply by going above that threshold by any means. It is normally pretty harmless when it catches you past the initial scare, but it sounds like physics bugged out and killed you when it caught you.
Предполагаю, что это из-за синего пластикового ящика. Это его баг. Некоторым помогает зачерпнуть ящиком застрявшие предметы, некоторым не помогает. Может, можно вытащить её с помощью гравипушки, если есть.
i have, and in one save my kurfer has been stuck in the flesh room for nearly a month in game, the other kurfurs come back.
I've been playing through the newest update of VotV and have been enjoying it greatly so far! The new models have maintained the atmosphere wonderfully and I am excited to see where the story takes it. As for suggestions:
I have not encountered this problem, so I assume that you (and many others who have complained about this) are not washing the stains completely. If you shine a flashlight and look closely, you can see dirt that is otherwise invisible and it looks like the windows are clean.
Indeed I was washing them completely. I sat there on a spot until it's completely clear (I use flashlight on it as well, it's hard to see otherwise), then I move on. Before I was done with another small section on the same window there were already dirt specs on the spot I just completely cleaned. I tested this multiple times in a row to make sure I wasn't just trippin.
Just retested it in the newly released 0.8.2c and I did not have the same issue anymore, no dirt specks after waiting a full in-game day. Huzzah!
Maybe try starting a new game. lol I don't think that's supposed to happen. Maybe a glitch or something.
They might not fit in the game's old visual style, sure, but this is the new visual style that the game has been primarily using for over a year (started some time around 0.6.0 and 0.7.0).
I can understand liking the old style more, as I do like it's charm as well, but I can understand why they have gone for a more modern HL2-like style. They won't undo over a years worth of progress on the game because a subset of the fanbase doesn't like changes that have been generally well received by the rest of the fanbase.
There isn't really that much you need to know about the new visual style. Compared to the old one, it's mainly just higher resolution textures and more detail on textures and models.
As an example, here is the old MRE model (left) compared to the new one (right). Generally, the old style is more simplistic, while the new one focuses a bit more on detail.
The craft is a normal recipe like any other, so you simply just put the glue bottle on the workbench with everything else. When it says a metal pipe, it refers to [Metal scrap]
Turn on 'The Funny Setting'. It is now required for creating special Kerfur-O skins.
Alternatively, some special skins have had their recipes changed a bit, so attempting an old one might not work anymore.
There is an old rifle that you can get in the story mode i think it's located at the Lima server but the rifle just explodes when you shoot it but there are some other guns in the game files like an assault rifle with a grenade launcher and also a makarov. You MIGHT be able to get these in story mode but i have no idea how aside from mods or cheats.
You can't get them in story and likely never will be able to (via normal means). Actual guns are one of the few actively unplanned features for the main game, but there will be various alternatives when it comes to weaponry.
your pc probably uses an integrated gpu if ur fps are that bad and it isnt built for playing games.
40 fps is not so bad. Start complaining when your fps drops below 30 fps.
And no, I'm not playing on the integrated gpu. I have reassigned this in the settings and the nvidia game behaves like this too.
Triggering story events in sandbox already exists as a Patreon supporter feature, it's what the empty 'Events' tab in the cheat menu is for.
If the servers are damaged enough they can explode, and do various other things, and unfortunately if one in the alpha server room explodes it will usually cause them all to explode. You might've had a physics object or something wedged under a server and it finally collided in just the right way to trigger an explosion.
Agreed. Also bring back being unable to pause during events, it was a major atmosphere builder for me.
I'm pretty sure you still can't. The pause menu appears, but the game isn't actually paused and you aren't able to save or quit to menu. I honestly prefer this behavior over the old way because it lets people quickly access settings in case they need to adjust volume sliders or other settings.
Also, metaparanoia is easily one of the best atmosphere building features in this game. It makes it feel like the game itself is breaking under the anomalous crap in Dunkeltaler. The busted pause mechanic just adds to the feeling that whatever is messing with Kel can see you and screw with you too.
I do like this one for it's uses as well, but it personally just doesn't hit quite as hard as the old one. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but the old one makes me feel more trapped, like I have truly nowhere to hide. The new one makes me feel a bit safer, cause even if the game still doesn't actually let me pause or let me quit, that somewhat comforting pause menu still opens and I can access my settings and the help menu to change things in my favor.
Hacksaw basically instantly gets rid of them, or you can just spend a few minutes smacking them with a weapon until they break.
I really dislike how the power washers in the game work. When you're better off mopping your glass or waiting for an oversized sponge than using the hyper advanced alien pressure washer you know you've screwed up mechanically. Or maybe it's just Nose trolling us.
I legitimately think the portable pressure washer is currently the worst store purchase in the entire game: it costs 500 points, cleans like 1.5 dirt stains before needing to be refilled at a static water source, and you can even get an upgraded version of it halfway through the game for free. Pressure washers desperately need to be buffed in some way.
While i agree that the art style has changed you have to remember that A LOT of the old assets were just placeholders most likely. I do like some of the older styled assets though but also some of them would be very out of place when placed next to some of the newer assets that basically NEED to look better otherwise they would look strange or even unrecognizable. Maybe when the game releases we can get a "texture pack"-ish setting to bring back the "classic" assets.
Are you on version 0.8.2 or higher, and if so, did you create this save on a version before 0.8.2?
If you are on 0.8.2, but you created this save on an older version, you will need to eat the old desk prop to get rid of it. Hover over the desk until an interact menu pops up, and then try eating it repeatedly until it vanishes.
The Hints and tips menu gives you some tips on certain events and entities where it might not be super obvious what to do (use keywords to search for through the spoiler-marked ones), but the game otherwise just leaves you to discover everything by yourself.
If the game does give you hints/tips about certain entities, it should absolutely be through in-game notes left by previous workers. TR_1 has notes that have already done this; they hint at the appearance of a certain entity to help you identify it, then give you a hint for the crafting recipe of something that should help you deal with it.
I actually never knew about this letter, is it placed on an obvious place or under the rubbish or something? Also, i am quite aware of some entities, mainly the already existing ones from 6.3 to 7.x i believe. Yet, the game seems to have so many new things and i do have quite some trouble getting to certain areas, not knowing how to explore properly.
What I'm talking about with the precision placement (shift-alt) doesn't seem to be referenced anywhere in the hints and tips that I can find. I do feel silly suggesting a key combo list when there already was one, though precision placement still doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere except the tutorial.
I would play with Alternative Interact mode, since it's a toggle-grab thing, but numeric keys don't work, only the scroll wheel does. i like precision, I dont like having to use my wheel to do quick things slowly.
I think this was done so that you can use the hotbar while hovering over objects, cause I have pretty frequently seen that complaint. I also would not really recommend using Alternative Interact until the next update, as some aspects of it seem to be broken currently.
ATV handling upgrade in the future? Currently controls like a blimp lol.
I'm pretty sure 0.9 will have an ATV rework, which should hopefully make it a bit easier to control.
yeah strongly agree with KevUndead up there that the inventory hotbar being some kind of sliding FIFO buffer of the last items you interacted with makes it pretty awful to use, and the fact that the default icons for a bunch of the most-used tools are just "3 pixel wide dark grey smudge on a black background" aint helping matters.
anyways, here's another little UI gripe: the positioning of the prop action menu way off to the prop's right on the screen creates problems with some of the bulkier props. Especially the workbench. Like here, take a look at this screenshot:
A workbench, a pile of crumpled paper bits, a couple gasoline bottles. My cursor is hovering over the workbench; when I hit the "E" key, what's going to get crafted? A Molotov or a chunk of paper scrap? It's impossible to tell right now because standing close to the bench has bumped the crafting menu completely off the right side of the screen. It would probably work better if the positioning of that menu could be restricted to, like, inside the actually renderable screen space.
To be fair, the tutorial does explain the R vs Alt-R thing, but for people used to normal WASD-controls in games I agree it's a bit clunky.
I like the complexity, personally, but some things should be tweaked slightly to accomodate players like yourself who struggle with it, and to improve the experience for those who don't, as well. Even I don't use the default; I rebound 'ALT' mode from Left Alt to K (one of my mouse's 24 side buttons), among other things.
There actually is a handheld radar. It kinda sucks and can only be gotten with cheats or in sandbox mode i think. I think the digital map should have the radar pings on it honestly.
I know you can nail the digital map to the ATV and everything and I’ve done that in the past but it’s a buggy, band-aid solution which resulted in me losing the digital map in the past.
When you use nails to attach something to the ATV, I recommend also connecting it to the ATV with a hook, that will at least prevent you from fully losing the item if it falls off.
Additionally, if you are fine with using mods, there is a mod that adds a purchasable map holder for your ATV.
If you don’t know how to use mods, there is a guide for it here.
I don’t get the rising water one at all. I think I’ve seen in some videos that you need to climb to the top of the pillars using little off shoots or whatever but I can never find those.
There are actually two rising water dreams, with one needing you to find a door on one of the pillars, while the other has you climb to the top of a pillar.
You can easily identify them from the surrounding environment, the door dream consists of tons of pillars across a large area, while the climb dream is in an enclosed room with 4 pillars near the corners and 1 in the center.
I don’t know if it’s a thing, as I now realize I never bothered to check, but I would like an option to “cancel” the nightmare event by pressing the ragdoll button, ending the nightmare prematurely and losing sleep like you normally would when you “fail” a nightmare event.
You can do this by Debug Teleporting while in a dream.
If you have a numpad, enable Num Lock and press “Num .”
If you don’t have a numpad, go into binds in the settings and look for “Debug TP” somewhere at the bottom, then rebind it to a different key.
Every single part now requires “inferior” Kerfur parts, so that’s a MINIMUM of a 2500 point investment
A single Kerfur is disassembled into 3 parts each, so you only need to buy 2 of them for a Kerfur-Omega.
As far as I know, 0.9 will likely make creating a Kerfur-O a bit easier in some way, even if it isn’t a direct change to how you actually make it.
i haven’t found an easy way to do it, picking up items then going back and forth to the box to put them there is frustrating
Not really much that can be done for the item collection itself, but if I am going to be picking up lots of stuff, I usually bring the container I plan to place them in with me, saves a lot of trips back and forth.
A seemingly heavily WIP vacuum tool was recently added to sandbox, so hopefully that will be made into a normally usable tool for cleaning up small items in a future update.
i think it would be great if i can use the trash bag to collect the small trash too, and like 1 bag collects 1 pile, 1 back should like collect 15 small trash or something like that. that way i can clean everything with bags then sell them.
I think version 0.9 will actually have a change that will help with this. Trash piles will now be made up of small trash items piled together, so you will probably be able to pile together several small trash items yourself to bag them.
i think there should be a garbage collecting system, what’s the use of having trash cans around the place if you just store trash inside them just like any other container, wouldn’t it be better that once a day, something comes and goes around the trashcans and collects all the garbage ?
Even if this would be kind of convenient, I honestly don’t see why this would logically happen. It’s not like anyone comes out here to collect the trash anymore, and I don’t think very many of the other lifeforms around here care that much about your trash. Item boxes already work well enough for this, they cost only 10 points each, have 1,120 volume worth of storage, and even give you money back for sending off items.
the tutorial is good, and explains everything, but i think a hint system would also be bit helpfull, specially for new players, i was kind of lost at the start even after playing the tutorial
The red and yellow flashing and wobbling “Hints and tips” menu does have some extra info on things the tutorial doesn’t mention. It doesn’t help with everything and some info might be worded badly or even outdated, but it’s good enough. Search for your question with the search bar at the top of the menu using keywords related to any question you have.
the map is confusing, i don’t use it because i can’t really know where i’m going with it, wouldn’t it be easier to have the server’s names on the map instead of just single letters ?
Probably depends on the person, but I find it easier to navigate while thinking of the servers as their individual letter, rather than their whole name. I feel like the map could become crowded or hard to read if each server was shown on it with it’s full name.
i think there should be a health bar since injuries can accure during the game. that way i can keep track of my health and know when to trat myself
A Thermometer can be used to directly check both your health and your max health, but I find the damage vignette alone to be good enough to show how injured you are. You also lose the ability to sprint while under 25 health, which is another indicator for that.
the daily task is kind of boring to be honest with you, i’m enjoying cleaning and fixing more than the daily task, specially the hash codes, it’s a good idea, but i think each day new tasks should occure, doing the same thing over and over isn’t that fun, maybe add new tasks, give the player vacation days which they can use to do other tasks. mix up new things
Version 0.9 will majorly change the gameplay loop, which will definitely come with a new daily task system of some sort. I do not know whether or not it addresses your issues with the current one, but it should at least shake things up a bit.
Most pc's, even modern, have trouble with the games performance. You could try turning down the light and shadow settings, that will help some. But considering how old your pc is, don't expect an insane difference.
Different systems are gonna have their performance bottlenecked by different parts, obviously, but on my machine at least (ryzen 5700x3d, radeon rx580) I found the framerate was dramatically improved by turning the draw distance up as far as it would go. Yes, up. Maxing out the draw distance literally took my framerate from thirtyish to a solid sixty. It's like whatever culling method the engine uses to sort the world's objects into "draw" and "do not draw" is so computationally expensive that it's actually way more efficient to tell it "screw it just draw everything IDGAF" and let the z-buffer sort em out.
this is more a feature request then feedback
and this is ENTIRELY something that isnt possible with real 3d printing
but could we get matcaps for 3d printing?
matcaps (material captures) is a trick where you uv map a texture onto a surface based on the viewing angle
it would open up a lot of creative options for meshes (like fresnels or gem / crystal materials)
It isn’t truly infinite, but you can extend its overcharge time by continuing to microwave it after it becomes overcharged. I microwaved it for somewhere around 5–15 minutes and it lasted for almost a week, which only ended when I accidentally left it outside of a container for 20 minutes after cleaning out my inventory.
I did wonder about this! I probably should've asked if the overcharge timer has a limit or done some testing myself tbh.
holding down F for flashlight makes the light smaller and go further this should also be mentiond as i have never seeen anyone bring attention to it
You most likely fell out of bounds when you ragdolled in the corner and you will always crash when falling out of bounds in tutorial, it's sort of like an anti cheat for all the secrets in the tutorial that hopefully haven't been removed in the new version, seeing as i couldn't find a way to open secret areas and stuff.
Personally, I like some of your suggestions! I really like the idea of specific scientists asking for specific types of signals and building relationships with them. But I'll say this:
listening to some signals could cause special events to happen
I'm pretty sure this is already in the game! There's around ten signals that just acquiring them will cause an event to happen, and I think there's at least one signal (a drive you find somewhere in the world) where listening to it causes an event.
