Making a thread for bugs and errors to keep things a little neater for Finchy. Please post things you notice here like missing logic (Entities not giving Fetish Exp), typos that you catch, sprites not displaying properly... Stuff like that.

Noticed two bugs, though unsure about the second.  If your settings under UI for Button Position is set to bottom,  the window for storage is invisible/ still under the buttons and off screen.  The second thing is the Masturbation Exp rising, but not giving any Traits. (Unsure if there are any traits, but since everything else has a trait, I'm sure having 300 exp should probably do something.)

Developer(+3)

Great spot with the Masturbation EXP.

There are Traits and level ups for it, but I forgot to add a check for it to the Trait-Checking system. This will be in the next version!

Thank you very much!

Oh, hi Flinchy! One question... how do you actually get psionic ability? I'm a little lost on that part...

I'm not Finchy, but you get Psionic abilities/ a way to spend Exp as a Delve reward for beating the boss of Synthech Admin & Research.  (The Building at the North-East of Westview.)

the thing is, I already did... Im just confused about actually getting psionic EXP... if you insist on explaining, that would be of great help!

*or you can assume I just dont know how to actually activate Psionic abilities. Seriously, I'm lost, and I dont know how to increase psionic abilities...

Developer

Like other Skill EXP, you gain Psionic EXP by just using the Psionic skills in battle. (Though they have to actually connect at hit the enemy.)

It takes a while to level up, as it's designed to fit into a much larger game.

No, uh, that's not the problem, see... I dont know how to get psionic skills...

Developer

Oh, I see, sorry!

You can acquire Psionic skills by using the chair in the east wing of your Safe House. There are many other upgrades there as well, that you can acquire by exchanging EXP.

The southern purple section of the upgrade area pertains to Psionic abilities, so you can find several there. Hope this helps!

No... Okay, I'll word it our more clearly. I DON'T HAVE a first psionic skills, thereby I have NO way of acquiring psionic skills. I'm asking HOW to get the first psionic skills because... I have a problem on even owning it in the first place. Keep in mind, I already finished the whole game and such, and this is the problem I'm having.

Noticed a little sprite spoiler for impregnating STCP-1,471-A. It's were if you impregnated her earlier and sleep again, it shows the final womb sprite from the beginning and seems to only show if you have no chance to impregnate her.  Sleeping again with a chance to impregnate her starts with the normal sprite.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for this!
I forgot to add a reset for that after the scene was completed. Just an error at the moment!

Noticed an interesting one in the new version. So in 0.1.2, I unlocked the fantasize skill to "defend" myself and make the girls more likely to grab than smack.  Now in the 0.1.3, I get the proper Masturbate skill for combat and figure I'd get a refund for Fan.  I go into the skill room, and notice that the node for Fan is sealed/ not bought despite having it. Buy and sell it, and the skill is properly gone from the pool of skills to use in combat, though I am unsure if I was given the EXP upon launching the new version or not.

Developer(+1)

Apologies, I think I reset the event for that node when I was fixing a typo. It should function just fine, but sorry you lost a little EXP!
I'll be more careful when changing nodes in the future!

Found another Sprite flip-out, but knowing how to narrow down what is causing it from the last one should speed this fix.

Location of the sprite mixing: Backrooms entrance.

How to get it (Probably)?  Enter the backrooms -> Lose once to the smiler and have the marked condition -> Leave without losing again, causing the de-buff to get removed -> Return to the backrooms. (I only returned to knock her up and leave, don't judge.)

Edit*  Impregnated her, and once I got out again the game gave the same cut-scene as the first time where Orical gives a call and asks you to look around, but you can just leave without issue.

Developer(+1)

Ah, another good find!

Didn't have it set up to not play that small scene again. It'll be fixed in the next version!

Thought I saw this bug reported, but I can't seem to find the original post.  Anyways, ST Fenris Droid seems to be very confused on how to mate with you in the new update, mostly because once she has "Lust Addled" she doesn't want to do damage, and can't pounce/grab you.  I think the original post was about the Sim room, but the update makes it to where in the Syn-Lab if you don't damage her she'll only touch you.  Of course, giving her a bap on the head fixes her and she'll pounce.

Edit* Bug was originally found by WhiteWhale and you did respond to it.

Found a mega bug;
When using the underground metro, underneath syntech executive lab (the B rank dungeon) i was using the top left metro machine by accident and pressed right click to cancel rather than selecting back (i didn't want to change location), but as i did this, i got the transportation cinematic, and got stuck on the world map desert mountains, obviously am not able to move anywhere.
(Also on the same metro map you can "walk up" the wall aligned with the blue edge)

BTW how do you post pictures on Itch threads, every time i get "missing token" error message when  i paste an image inside my message

Just recreated the bug, and sure enough it do happen.

So the way I've been able to upload images is by selecting "Add Image," under "Upload image"  I'd select "Pick Image"  and finally "Show all files."  Beforehand I'd open the screenshot to confirm I have it, edit/trim fat because I have multiple screens, and make sure I know how to pull it up.  Not trying to baby anyone here, but if someone else want to know how then they can read this and hopefully be able to recreate.

Developer

That's a weird one. Thanks for finding this!

Нашёл небольшой софт-лок, если спуститься в подвал к лидеру культистов, после победы над ней, лестницы чтобы вернуться назад не будет, по итогу там и останетесь

Developer (1 edit)

Извините, я пользуюсь автопереводчиком! Вы имеете в виду Матрону Культа в подземелье Westview Mall? Я только что проверил — после победы над ней вроде бы можно спокойно выйти. Просто возвращайтесь тем же путём, которым пришли. Если речь о другой локации, пожалуйста, уточните!

Да... всё верно, просто до битвы с ней иконка лестницы была, которую легко видно, а после победы в стене отверстие которое скрыто за интерфейсом, вот и я не сразу заметил, извините за ложную тревогу ( 

Not sure if it's intended or not, but i think you can get "negative" thirst?
With zero food and zero water i ate a bunch of chips and tuna (-35 thirst total i think) and then 1 purified water, and the water barely got me mid-way through my thirst bar.
Tried it again and can confirm, ate 5 million chips bags and then purified water and it does seem like you get less. Also if you eat the food with negative thirst, leave the menu, then go back in to the menu and drink the water THEN water works correctly, almost as if if you leave the menu your -50 thirst get set back to 0

Developer(+1)

Great catch, you're right!
I've just implemented a fix that prevents this which will be in the next patch.
Thank you!

Currently enjoying the Parler, but I noticed that the new fetish/trait is bugged.  I chose to get in through sex, and was immediately given the trait title "Man-whore" with 0 Exp in the trait.  Thought it was the first trait title, but now that I have 265 Exp, I'm thinking that the trait tracking is bugged.

Developer

Ah! You're right, the final trait was set to track for Aphrodisiac EXP instead of service. I'll upload a quick fix! Thank you!

Developer(+1)

v0.1.5.1 has been uploaded, which corrects this error. 

I'm hoping that you're the only person affected, as this would only trigger for those that have over 600 Aphrodisiac EXP, but with this new version, it'll correct itself after a battle (remove the trait you shouldn't have and add the one you should.)

is agility bugged?  I'm not wearing anything that reduces it, and I have no stats penalties that say it would be reduced, but it's stuck at 0

right now I'm full, thirsty, tired, fatigued wearing the retail threads, sweatband, firearmsling, baseball bat, marksman rifle, elminister 12 gauge, and hedonist.

Developer

The Marksman Rifle and the Elminster Shotgun both lower Agility by 5, so you're currently reducing your total by 10. Baseball Bat also lowers it by 2.
If you want a more Agility-focused setup, you need to use less or lighter weapons.

I didn't even think that weapons would reduce agility, that might be something to make more clear in the weapon item description.

Also you don't get any scaly xp from the snake lady coil request 

Developer

I think in my head I registered her as a monster girl, and not a scalie, but she probably should give scalie exp, huh?

It'll be fixed in the next build. Thanks for pointing this out!

I mean I don't think there's any reason enemies can't give more than one type of xp if they don't already. The type traits take forever to build up as far as I can tell so it's not a huge deal.

also realized the maurauding mako client doesn't give any scalie xp

Developer

Is a shark a scalie?

Honest question, I don't actually know.

I think you could make a case for it to be either way. It's a bit of an edge case tbh

The SMGs burst fire says it Hits x3 and it does, but it uses 4 ammo.

I think this is intended, as I believe it is meant to represent poor aim + recoil control.  I think the guy you play as isn't John Halo/Helldiver/Call of duty, rather Joe Shmo who woke up here. Granted, if you picked the Soldier, you should be able to shoot 4 and hit 4.  Maybe you can find a gun table and be able to add a proper stock, granting the weapon 4x hit and it using 4 bullets. (Not going to lie, using burst fire and having lucky bullet proc, leaving my mag 12/12 after shooting feels wrong to me... But video game logic is video game logic.)

Developer(+2)

Yes, this was intentional, but I think I'll change it so it uses 3, but you have a slightly smaller mag size.

Thanks for bringing this up!
