Here are a few bugs that I've encountered in Forager v5

Two inventory bugs. Items stack weirdly. My gold ingots for one, would stack up to 32-36 and then make another stack of 6 and then another stack of 100+ I've had this bug with all items though. Not just Gold ingots. The second inventory bug is that half of my inventory bar will just randomly disappear, causing anything that was in that portion of the inventory just deletes.

The System button doesn't work. Easy as that. I can't exit unless I manually close that game. I've only played this game in one large sitting because I don't know if the game autosaves.

Those are the only bugs I've had so far. I would really love to see this game grow into full amazing game so please fix them!

See ya! -Reactivity

Thanks for updating the game! It's great you fixed the bug that caused the game to crash when inventory was full, but now and then i would notice a few items would just disappear.. When you use/throw away something there would be a gap left there.. Sometimes i would end up with two stacks of one item.... Also, unless it was your intention, the player doesn't give as much warning anymore when low on energy, the player would warn me just a second or two before i lost a heart and it was too late

I've found two major bugs.

1. Inventory bug.  I've heard other people talking about this, but I think I know what the problem is.  The inventory grows as you collect more items, the problem is, the growth seems to be based on exactly how many items you have.  So if you have 20 different items, you'll have twenty slots.  The problem with this is that if you get rid of a stack completely that isn't all the way to the right, your inventory will shrink down anyway and you won't be able to use or see your rightmost item anymore.  Get rid of a few slots at once, and you can lose several valuable items and stacks of items.  Whats worse is that if you collect the same item that got lost in your inventory, it wont stack properly, meaning that once you fill your inventory up again, you will have two different stacks of the same item, which causes its own issues.  This can make it seem like your items are disappearing at random.  You could fix this by either adding an exception so that you will always be able to see up to the slot that has an item in it, or making items automatically move to the left.  Or just not hiding all the extra inventory slots at all, and have them and their empty circles visible at all times.

2. Save bug.  The game can save into an unwinnable state.  I had to restart because my first game autosaved on a game over screen, so every time I load it, I instantly get a game over.  The game is effectively permadeath.

When an item is consumed, all the items do not move up one, instead the spot in the inventory that was consumed remains blank and the last item is deleted temporarily. For example *=Item, X=Blank spot

* * * * * * 

six items

* * * X * 

item four is consumed leaving and open blank spot and item six disappears

But when a new item is discovered

* * * X * * *

Item six reappears but Item four still remains blank

------

I think this may cause the crash when inventory is full as there could be the possibility that the inventory is full but the last item is invisible because of the bug, so when you pick up a new item, it doesn't say inventory full because the last item reads as missing, but then it adds the new item and the last item and then there is one more than the maximum and the games like, oh no that doesn't work.

Hope this helps

Hey there, just thought I'd let you know that there is a bug that causes the players inventory to randomly disappear for no real apparent reason, the inventory returns upon hitting max inventory but then will shortly vanish again. Also, in your next patch I'd recommend creating a save and exit feature (or even just an exit feature really, having a system button that does nothing doesn't feel too good) All in all keep up the good work and feel free to ping me in the /r/GameMaker discord (@Hatsune Miku#5092) when you push a new update or what to ask a question ;)

The inventory system is quite interesting. The way it behave by increasing the inventory UI on the bottom, but the management of the items seems to lose reference. As a game programmer for an Alpha5f, I advice:

• Remove the behaviour that decreases the inventory slots and make the UI occupy it's full length, while you fix the behavior that lose the reference of the items.
  
  • After a while playing it seems that your pointer is not accurate. the items lost is still in memory. I can say that because later on after picking randomly some items, the inventory simply pops-up at full length with the items I already picked and lost by the decreasying "bug"
• Probably, your code have some leaks in the loop check, because some items on pick-up, isn't recognizing that there is already an item of the same type in the inventory.
• Dropping an item, makes the code decreasy the slot's by 1, but you are not removing the right spot. An easy solution:
  1. Sort the items to always fill from left to right. This way, the last slots on inventory will be empty to be "removed"
  2. And only then, pop your queue, or clean the variable or pointer or remove the last position on your array.

This should be an easy issue to solve! Releasing a fix update to Alpha5, would be nice.

First id like to say I am loving this game and the idea of it and I really want to see it flourish! I want to share the bugs and issues ive had to help further the development of this game so that (hopefully) the full finished product will be available sooner :)

Here are some of the bugs and/or issues ive encountered (Alpha 5)

- Inventory issues where it makes 2 separate sections for the same item. Such as ill have a spot with 8 iron and another with 1 and when i craft it will only read the pile with 1. I have to throw them all and re collect them to fix this.

- inventory vanishing periodically and reappearing. Almost like cropping out my inventory..

-mills and other buildings requiring oddly specific spots for placement. mills most often will place only when on 1 square of water? 

-I would very much like to see a increase to space or a way to make something for storage. I haven't finished the whole game yet so im not sure if there is and i missed it or idk 

- occasionally it will let me place something (mostly bridges) in between blocks 

- keeps not allowing me to build bridges vertically. Like if i want to make a line of bridges going up, i cant

-Is there a way to destroy furnaces and forges? Right now the only way i have been able to destroy them is if i place something in them and then hit it while the item is loading. 

- there should be a way to type in or select an exact amount of an item you wish to create. Such as i have 100+ gold and i just need a few more pieces to make a golden shovel, but my only options are 1, 50, or 100. but i need 4? So i have to go to 4 different furnaces and create 1 in each. Its a little annoying

A chest spawned on top of me and i can't move

I got a chest by putting the gems on the squares but when the chest spawned in on top of me and I can't move. Please fix this, because I would hate to lose all my progress.

Alpha 5

when you use or throw all of the items in one slot it will remove a slot on the end of the hotbar

i dont know if this has been noticed, but an object an spawn on another object. Destroying one of them will make the tile walkable despite another object occupying the place.
