The Chimney has a visual glitcch if you stand on top of the roof. (Don't know if next is bug) You can throw a chest all the way across the map if you flick your mouse when holding it and release halfway.
O.o you really shouldn't be able to throw something across the map in the 9's versions... everytime I've thrown something they've hit an invisible threshold and "hung" in the air (kills their momentum) - Once I walk towards it, the "threshold" moves, the item, falls - free from "hanging"...
I suppose I haven't tried with old or new crate... but ores, ingots, and Logs all stop midair before they go skyrocketing away.
Although. I've never attempted throwing things from very high up on the map, like from the roof, if that's what you mean.
Perhaps the "threshold" only triggers if you're on the ground. I wouldn't know since I've not tried.
Hey Geledin,
1. Implementation isnt finished for the minigame. It was more as a proof of concept. Further iterations of it will be done further in the year.
2. That might not be the game and might be a graphics card issue or monitor.
3. I don't think any graphics card to date uses Direct X 2.5 but in the event you are using a very old graphics card, you migh tnot be able to run this game as it requires Direct X 11 or more. If you don't have the latest Direct X drivers then you might have problems running the game. But obviously, that isn't your issue. If you are having trouble with Direct X installation or updates, you should probably contact Microsoft or go over to their forums and ask for help as I unfortunately do not have the knowledge or qualifications to help you. :)
wow!...so, I was standing at the door close to the lake at "the darkest hour". The door, along with the crate I had disappeared in the dark, just gone. I followed the mountain wall towards the mine. There is a place right up against the wall that looks like a texture glitch, like a piece of terrain is missing. I walked in to it, fell through the world -or so I thought- and landed at the alter in the church!! :O
I don't know how the upgrading works, can't find it out either, I literally pressed every button while hammering.
And yes, there is a piece of terrain missing there, I'm going to make an update video soon on all the glitches, problems and texture/terrain fails. Because I found something in the church, some thing(s) in the area's that are currently unaccessable. I will inculde them but since they are not supposed to be open yet it doesn't really matter. there are quite some visual glitches possible that need fixing though.
I just hope that Dasius will actually see it...
Hey mamaminha,
For this version, you'll need to restart the game to fix this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.
For an item to be accepted by a customer you must see a notification in the bottom corner of the screen saying "You created (item)"
There's 5 ingots worth of parts for a shield, the boss, the two handles, and the rim
I don't know entirely, but Try not to create a wood piece and/or combine the wood piece and a rim, and then save and reload - at minimum, the wood piece will break and be unusable, and I dunno on the combined rim/wood, Afaik, a fully assembled shield will be fine
Are you not supposed to be able to give any shield?
Then that may be a bug. I constantly gave out shields all willy nilly whenever the opportunity arose to sell a customer a ridiculously high-tier shield even though they were only asking for really low tier.. even been telling people of this possibility, (Not the weapon, The weapon follows what you said and I've been repeating that too, that its can be tier or lower)
Additionally.
You can only give "any tier that is lower" if they're vague
If for instance we look at the pic, and they instead asked for a tin polearm, no extra specification, You can give them any polearm that is tin or copper.
But if they ask for a Tin Polearm with a (something something) small blade and an uncommon grip
They will ONLY accept Tin.
Shields ignore this afaik, at least right now, in 9e
Also I have a few bucks in Paypal if you wanna tell me which choice fits best for that, donate or pay-to-buy, or not Itchio, or whatever.
can't be a patron thing, thou.
Glad you mentioned that. Those customers that ask for a more specific request are considered "Special Customers". What they are asking for needs to be met. You can't give them anything higher or lower or something that is similar. Needs to be exact
Ya shields will get another check on its functions to make sure it's working properly.
If you can't via Patreon then through Itch.io is fine as well. Thank you!
IIf you're having trouble recording or screenshotting the game, Try running it in window mode at screen-resolution
From my experience, the game runs borderless and priority, so running it window works perfectly fine in comparison to fullscreen with it at your desktop's resolution
Me personally again, cannot take screenshots unless I run it in window. Fullscreen just comes up black
That said, The Shield and some other physics items still "flying" are known, its not as prevalent or easy as before this recent version, though.
The trees aren't the only thing that can blur you, if you manage to get your eyes too close to anything, they can become that way, its just easiest with trees that are solid because of size and solidity
Hey Diamorr,
Thanx for the bug report. Will look into the missing walls and floor issues.
The reason that is happening, with the trees, is because most likely "View Depth of Field" is turned on in your graphic settings. Turning that off should eliminate that problem.
as for the horse.
The horse is currently disabled for being a naughty bad horse :< He broke a bunch of people's spines and forced them to crawl slowly in the ground and kicked their things sky high into the air and then spat on them as he decided to soar away and scoff at our ideas of physics and gravity. It's planned to eventually come back, I think... when its not so psychopathic.
Also, I got some pictures on the person not leaving after you give them what they want. It turns out that if you move to about the point where I am in the second picture outside, they leave the shop, even if the door is closed or the shop is open/closed. Plus, this happens most with me when I re-load the save, and they're the first person to arrive when you open the shop.
Oh boy, bug report 2.0. In the last 2 days I found a whole lot more bugs and things I'm sure shouldn't be happening. I'm still using the same version My Little BlackSmith Shop Win64 Alpha-v0.0.9e.
1. When the customers ask for shields and (lets say you use an uncommon log to make the wood part dark) after you give them the created shield, the wood becomes the common log colour and the shield type changes to a Coal like dark (which is probably Titanium); that includes the rim, boss, wrist and handle being that colour, however the weapon as far as I know stays the same as what you give them.
2. You can put a corner or a crate inside another crate, which then you can close the crate and the other crate will be locked in place, which means you can hold 2 crates full of ores or other things at the same time (Attached Image).
3. Your arm has the same texture as the bricks do...why and how (Attached Image).
4. Ore Veins have a chance to drop you 1 ore, please make them drop at least 3. This doesn't feel good (Attached Image).
5. The blur issue people have been having occurs when you're inside something your not supposed to be in, like a wall that's not completely solid for example. This blur only occurs if your Post Processing option in the Graphics Menu isn't turned to Low, if it's anything but low, you will get the blur effect. I've seen people talk about how they go under trees and they also get the blur, it's because under some of the trees is considered a spot you're not supposed to be (I've taken the spot that Grimalkin used in his video for this test) (Attached Images).
6. When rotating a crate, the rotation point is the centre bottom, so when you try to turn it upside down on level ground it will rotate into the ground. For this all you have to do is lift the centre rotation point to the centre of the crate.
7. When creating large amounts of alloys at once in the furnace, the furnace doesn't properly register that all of them are being created as alloys. I found this out when I had 5 Copper ore and 5 Tin ore and I put them in all at once, and in return I got: 4 Bronze ingots (Supposed to get 10), 4 Copper ingots, and no Tin ingots (Supposed to get neither of those two). It appears that when it made the Copper ingots, there was no Bronze being made for those ones, so Tin ingots should've come out too. But the indicator, or the molten metal rising in the ingot shaper, went to full (which I assume was the Tin ingots being made) but then went back down to nothing and continued to do so for the next 3-4 ingots without producing anything. So in summary, putting in bulk amounts of the 2 ores to make alloys doesn't work properly and screws up the processing system. (Note: I was only making alloys, I DID NOT have anything else in there at the same time that was creating something else).
8. (This has already been said multiple times, but for clarification) Having any solid objects being put underneath the player character and following to grab it makes you ascend into the air.
9. (This has also been said before, but from my point of view) I had a moment where a customer came in and as soon as he was about to order, he disappeared but the cross was still there, but un-clickable. To get out of this, you can either reload or go into sandbox mode and back. Considering the fact that I'm on day 67 (I think) and this was the first time it happened WHEN I decided to put an axe and two shields perhaps a little too close to the selling bench, I also had a delivery crate near it too but it may have not contributed to this issue, this is not coincidental.
10. The lighting of the entrance to the cave is odd at a certain time of day. When slightly outside the lighting was fine, but when I moved slightly inside the mine, the lighting went really dark. I even went back outside to test if it didn't suddenly turn night, and it lit back up as normal, proceeding to go back in made it look like night again (Attached Images; use the crate as a reference for distance).
11. The Steel Alloy Ingots have the same coloured name as the Adamantine Ingots, implying that they are both Legendary items, but when creating a Steel Pickaxe it had the same properties as an uncommon tool, because it couldn't mine anything epic or higher, only common and uncommon ore veins (I don't know if this has something to do with the type of Hammer you're using, as you can see I'm still using the Copper Hammer 'cause I haven't bothered upgrading). Maybe change the colour shown for steel to match their correct properties, or make steel have the same properties as adamantine (I'm using the colour of the name to match the rarity, which in turn makes me think which ones they should be able to mine).
12. Trees also have a chance to drop no logs. Either that or when the tree gets cut and falls through the stump, and doesn't fall over, destroying it like that may make a log spawn inside the stump making it impossible to grab.
13. When on the roof, you can look at the back of the chimney, which isn't there because it's a one-sided view, so from one side you can see it, but from the other side you can't.
14. I think dynamic objects launch too far than what they should, like when I have items inside a crate and I don't have the lid on and accidently grab the crate, which in turn makes the items launch all over the place, furthest record launch has been about 25 metres so I have to go and find them wherever they go.
15. Instead of falling through the bottom of the map when going in the green (acid I presume) stuff in the mine, how about making it so when you go about half way down into the surface of the green liquid, then you die and re-spawn at the church instead of being able to see under the world for a short moment.
16. You can pick up dynamic objects further than your zoom length, so if you grab something further than it limit and scroll once, up or down, it'll snap back to it's proper position.
17. There is barely any force behind throwing most things, the only thing that I've found that actually throws with probably a little bit too much force is the ores.
18. When fuel has depleted in the furnace, you put more in there and you have to turn it back on, but it usually takes two presses for it to turn back on.
19. I assume trees are supposed to regenerate, hence the percentage on the stumps after you cut them down, but they don't (It may not even be a feature yet but just checking).
20. The very back of the mine/vault, there is a little ledge that you can't get up onto (as intended), but by using the crate as a lift to get on top of the ledge, you can see massive holes in the side of the walls (Again, not supposed to be able to see the holes without getting on the ledge).
21. Rarely when opening chests, instead of the item spawning in there as usual, they fling out high into the air usually taking about 3 seconds to come back down. This may be a spawning issue having to do with collision with either the other item in the chest or the chest itself.
That was just a whole bunch more bugs and issues I found since the last post, a lot of the last ones were tiny but can still be annoying in some degree. There's probably a lot more that I would have to go digging for through pure experimentation and not 90% of it being from me just playing the game.
see this is why I made my own thread when I had a similarly large list ready to go... it becomes a bit more of a hassle to deal with when its here.
The first thing i can remember from what I read.
That's not how metal works.
"rarity" means nothing, really.
Coal is mineable
copper mines copper
Tin mines copper and tin
Bronze mines copper and tin
Brass mines Zinc Copper and tin
Iron mines Iron Zinc, Copper and tin
Steel mines Iron zinc Copper and Tin
Adelite mines Adelite Iron zinc copper and tin
Mithril mines Mithril, Adelite, Iron Zinc Copper and Tin
Adamantine Mines Ada, Mith, Ade, Iron, Zinc, Cop, and Tin
Titanium Mines. (There's a possibility, a slim one, That brass might be able to mine Iron. Unlikely. But I haven't tried yet.)
Putting a crate into a crate ain't exactly a bug
Shield "Visual" in Customer hands isn't "exactly a bug" either, All that really is is simplication, Probably mostly because They didn't ask for a specific shield, They just wanted a sheield - You could give them a Copper Polearm and a Titanium shield for all they care. (on a copper polearm request) - Which is why it probably does that, in both ways. Because they didn't ask for a type of shield, they'll accept any type of shield
and because they'll accept any type of shield, it turns all those shields into a generic placeholder kinda shield, reflecting the type of shield (Round, Tower, Heater) because /THAT/ part /was/ defined.
3 and 4 aren't really bugs, also rarer veins have a chance of dropping absolutely no ore, between the vein being rarer, and the chance of ore being lower generally for rarer ore.
The Blur isn't exactly a bug either, though it may be over...reaching its boundaries. - It's part of view depth, Though View depth of field should prevent it from working if turned off, and I don't think it does, so that may technically be a bug. But it's supposed to blur, When things are very in front of your face, You're supposed to focus on them, causing distant things to become unfocused, When something squishes up into your eyes, your vision in game, will blur, It just happens to be there's a lot of places, should and shouldn't be at, where it blues very heavily.
Screen resolution scale can also affect it.
Not sure if 6 is a bug, sounds like you're just talking about rotation and how it's currently supposed to work, and don't necessarily agree with that.
7 isn't necessary a bug either, It's just not designed to function the way you did it, either, Though I can't swear it isn't desired for it to eventually function that way.
To make an Alloy, You need to make the alloy, You can't stick a bunch of one thing in at any one time, Cause then you're just making that one thing.
So you *should* putting for example
One Tin, One copper = 2 bronze. - One Tin, One copper= 2 bronze, one tin, one copper = 2 bronze.
you /can/ mass queue up the production, and get it to churn out all 10 (about 7 or so by the time you've inserted it all though)
AFAIK you can also "intersect" it with other materials, You just /have/ to properly fill it.
so something like One tin, One copper (properly accepted), One Adelite, One Iron, One Carbon (Properly accepted) (DO NOT JUST drop a bunch of them in, nor just drop them in even in order) one mithril -> 2 bronze, one adelite, 2 steel, one mithril.
Repeat. DO NOT just toss them in. Don't toss in tin and let go, and then toss in Copper, letting go immediately after, without it being "accepted" and then go to toss in another tin or another thing
You need to Insert a core (one of the main materials, that isn't Zinc or Carbon)
It will react, then you need to insert the other ingredient, keep trying to insert it until it actually disappears from your hand while you're holding it, When it disappears, that's when the smelter has accepted it as part of the alloy, Then you can put in another Tin, or Copper, or Iron, and repeat, waiting for the 2nd ingredient to be accepted.
18- It takes two pressures usually because it wasn't shut off, Much like a circuit breaker when you go to reset it, You're supposed to take it from "Not on but not off" to "Fully off" and then "Back on" (at least that's what I've always been told)
The tree thing has been mentioned, It's mostly because of them spawning in the log/world (or lack of spawning because the stump/world physics were where it was going to spawn) - If you use a "solid object that you can lift yourself with" you can easily push the tree down and cut it, allowing more consistent results for logs, The tree not falling is the real bug, previously almost all the time they did, but something changed which ended up causing them not to fall over, will likely be fixed next time, but no guarantees
The chest - The reason is because the spawn location is designed for two ingots
but the spawn pool is designed with the option of a handle. or ingots
A handle is slightly.. bigger, than an ingot, causing the top ingot to spawn in the handle, and more often than not, be flung into the air as it tries to resist the edge of the handle... I believe this is known and/or addressed, I think i've mentioned it along with "nothing sadder than watching (insert ingot) swimmin with the fishes" (or something like that)
First part, noted
"rarity mean nothing" that's acceptable, I was only using it at a reference of what they could do because it made sense at the time.
I'm already aware of the things each type of tool can mine, except for alloys because there's no indication of how good they are unless you test them, as far as I know. The only one I do know is steel because I found out the bad way.
Putting a box inside another box isn't really a bug, I know that, but when you say it, it sounds too bizarre doesn't it. At that point it's stuck halfway in the other box while still not moving by themselves because it's turned static, which is odd.
I'm aware of the shield thing, where they don't ask for a specific type so it turns into a pre-set made one of that type. But they don't exactly ask for the type of weapon they want either, such as "Copper one-handed sword" (for example). They don't specify what shape of the blade, type of guard or grip they want, so why doesn't that turn into a pre-set version of a "Copper one-handed sword".
I know 3 isn't a bug, but that must've been a stuff up somewhere. I know your arm isn't meant to be a rock (If it is, well damn it then).
For number 4, I did originally think it wasn't meant to happen, but now that you mention that it's a rarer drop rate, that makes more sense.
The extreme blur that occurs when your inside something can actually become annoying at some point, I was testing it when opening a door that turned on the side I was on, and when the door end got close to me it had that extreme amount of blur for a quick second. I already knew of the fact that the blur was somewhat of a focusing element in the camera to focus on certain things, so yes when you face-plant into a tree you see it just fine but everything else, not so much.
Since of this low performance computer I always have resolution scale on 60%, but it couldn't affect that much could it?
6, again, isn't that much of bug, it's just a problem with how it rotates when it's flat with the ground, because you constantly need to raise it and turn it upside down if you want to completely empty the crate to make sure it doesn't go inside the ground. It would be much easier if the rotation was in the centre. I'm not saying that the way rotation works doesn't work right, I'm saying that the centre of rotation on the crate should be raised to the centre.
Now that I was completely aware of how bulk producing alloys doesn't work, I don't do it anymore. I put in the two things, copper and tin for example, then let those make the 2 ingots, turn the furnace off, put in another copper and tin then turn it on and let it finish and repeat that over and over again. Note that when I was talking about what happened with me, I put in the 5 copper and 5 tin before I turned it on, to make sure they all started at the same time, but that obviously didn't work. I don't feel like trying any other method as of now than the one I said about putting a mix in at separate times just to not risk losing anymore ores.
for 18, I think it should detect when there's no longer fuel in there to properly turn off. I've had a few times where I tried turning it on (thinking it was on) and checking the starting of it, but it still wasn't on, and it still happens, must be a habit of hitting it once to work.
It good to see that the tree thing has been recognised, it does kind of annoy me the way it doesn't want to fall over but instead get itself stuck in the stump.
I'm aware of that the chest has spawn points designed for 2 ingots, and have gotten grips before (of course) with the other launching at the same time. You could probably make the spawning points beside each other, not on top of each other, maybe?
I understand that some of these are bugs, and also bizarre things that shouldn't be there but are not exactly bugs. such as number 2, 3, 4 (Which I now understand why), 6, 10, 11, 13, 15 and whatever else you think belongs. I just make lists of bugs and things that aren't so much bugs but are still wack.
22. You should also drop the tool you're using if you equip a different one instead of it disappearing into the void.
First recommendation, Try reloading one of the versions from itch, or from itch app, That's definitely a first I've heard that, unless you have like 2200 charisma or something... even then I don't think Tin is expensive enough to zero out.
Also I would try to recommend starting a new save, as I feel like maybe it almost sounds like you're using an old save where the Currency was a different type.
Previously the current was just " a currency" and you'd have hundreds of millions of "currency"
Now its Copper, Silver, Gold, etc coins, and I know Slipcor made a save fixer related to money issues from one specific version to one specific update, but if you save and reload, before using that, you're pretty boneroned I think.
I didn't have either of those cases, so I don't know how "being boneroned" looks like, but what you describe does sound like what I could imagine would come from that.
as 1000 copper, is 1 silver
and hitting more than 1000 copper, Turns that into silver, and any extra beyond, turns copper, until 1000 silver, which turns to gold.
Also keep in mind that alloy bronze, is a wonderful thing.
Bronze (1 tin 1 copper) creates 2 bronze, and each bronze is worth 650, instead of tins 500 and coppers 10
Brass is 750
Steel is "enough" more than Iron to be noticeable, but then again, you get 2 steel for 1 iron (and 1 carbon)
Then you're probably not building them correctly, 9e iirc starts having item names.
1h grip 1 ingot blade
1h grip 1h guard 2 ingot blade
1h grip 2 ingot hammer
1h grip 2 ingot axe
2h grip 2h guard 3 ingot blade
2h grip 3 ingot hammer
2h grip 3 ingot axe
2h grip 3 ingot pick axe
pole grip 1 ingot blade (guard optional)
pole grip 2 ingot blade (guard optional)
pole grip 3 ingot blade (guard optional)
pole grip 2 ingot hammer (guard barred)
polegrip 3 ingot hammer (used to I think, not tested in 9e, feel like 9(something) I saw it not work haven't tested since)
It must notify you that you've created an item in order for it to be correct and saleable.
The blacksmith can equip any 2 ingot hammer, 2 ingot axe, and 3 ingot pickaxe.
This includes a 1h grip 3 ingot pickaxe, used to and possibly still includes a pole grip 3 ingot pickaxe
a 2h grip 2 ingot axe, and a 2h grip 2 ingot hammer, used to include 1h grip 3 ingot hammer, used to include pole grip 2 ingot hammer, can't say I tested pole grip 3 ingot hammer
Most of the things the Blacksmith can equip, cannot be sold.
BS can also equip stolen items.
Version is (0.0.9e)
There are two problems I kinda wanna say, first is that I was making some basic items just to catch up on random requests, and I heard the little customer bubble sound, so i check, and no one is there, the little [x] is there at the bottom left, but it won't go away when clicked. Even when I close my shoppe, or go to bed, it doesn't go anywhere and It won't let me get anymore customers.
For the second, it seems weird that it will start getting really dark outside, and I cannot go to sleep, it will almost be the next day before I can actually sleep, does your tiredness get affected but how much you do in a day in game?
Thanks for an amazing game and your time.
-Tox
First, this problem should be getting fixed in the new release with the person arriving but not being there. The only way to get out of this so far is to reload the save or go to sandbox and back (Make sure to save). Also, your tiredness depends from the hour you wake up to approx. the time you last went asleep.
Sleep is I believe 16-18hrs "tired" and 24hrs "Tired (exhausted)/level 2" (its one or the other, not a range between 16-18hrs) if you go to sleep at 10pm, you will get tired around 9ish or so, give or take the difference in change from what was past the hour.
If you go to sleep at 5 in the morning, you will wake up likely in the later hours of the afternoon, and not get tired again for that "tired" frame of time, and you can't go to sleep till tired or exhausted, soyou will essentially be off schedule for days, until you slowly reset the schedule, or be tired for a very long time (exhausted/level 2) until you can sleep at the proper time to keep schedule.
I personally find it best to sleep between 10 and 11pm if at all possible, to keep the most store hours available, if I'm "bored/done" with a particular day, and tired too early, I'll wait around messing with stuff until its between 10 and 12, if possilbe, if its already well past 12, I don't bother sleeping.
This is a known bug that is hopefully getting fixed in 0.1.0f, this usually happens when you first start the game with a rarer chance of it happening any other time. What you can do to fix this issue is when you serve them and they get stuck, go to the spot in the attached image and they should leave the shop, allowing more people to come in and you can continue selling your goodies.
if no one's mentioned it, Check the common issues Pinned thread, I believe Lowlevelfatalerror is listed there, good chance you'll get a solution from that. Sorry about the delay, Normally someone would've pointed that out and I (a random user) haven't been nearly as active checking here since I've been sitting on their discord
There may also be some kinda issue with Adminstrative permisions, Firewalls, and etc..
The save is located in APPDATA/Local/ShopSim (%appdata% brings you to APPDATA/Roaming)
If the game is not allowed to access the save, or is not allowed to access other folders and the like, Then it's likely to run into problems.
Chances are pretty high, that your game is either Not being allowed to do that, Or some program is being an overprotective pest, Like certain antivirus programs that need to chill the hell down.
I would probably suggest checking the usual suspects (space, firewall, admin,etc) and/or trying to download it through the itch app, or while running perhaps incognito or what not, it's certainly an interesting issue you have.
Try also different versions, trying maybe Gamejolt as well, (it should be up to the public version (0.0.9e) (might be written differently based on site criteria))
Maybe also try a different browser, there's a ton of them out there.
You could also try emulators for mobile (which have a crapton of small browsers) to try and download the file somewhere where you can then locate and unpack it like normal, but that'd be something I'd say to do if nothing else at all works.
Specs of PC (need more info for the most part)
Try redownloading the file, something could've been corrupt
try updating drivers if that hasn't been done in a while.
Check to see if graphics settings for (Insert control panel type) have been restricted in some way, perhaps toy around with your graphics' control panel to see if you can get better responsiveness out of it, some programs don't really like certain settings or modes, so there's always a possibility
well no computer is safe really... a Beast computer can run one thing fantastically and struggle to run another thing all the same, compatiblity of parts and optimizations of games matter in that aspect.
Particularly Foliage settings in most games can be very taxing, even more so when in general, the settings aren';t super fine-tuned and optimized - and even more more so when computer parts just don't like dealing with that specific element, Parts can also fail or begin to degrade, and one thing might trigger it, while another, almost identical thing or more, might not.
For example a few years back now, I had a PSU issue, my PSU was pretty much dying, but it ran so biger, more intense games just fine still, for hours on end, etc. so it didn't seem like it was actually a PSU problem,
and it would crash on very light intensity game(s), sometimes immediately. sometimes after an hour or two.
Replacing my PSU completely removed that issue, at the time, hours on end, left it running overnight just to ensure it, etc.
in Dev Build, You can move furniture around, You can probably do it that way
However
In all builds, Items can be rotated, and pulled at, If you rotate it to certain points, its hit box will try and force it out of the table, as well if you keep pulling at it,, it may spring free, pulling and rotating would accelerate the process
If they're assembled wrong (For example, a one hand grip and a pickaxe head =/= an item - The blacksmith can equip that, but it will not notify you of creation, update the name of item, nor allow a customer to buy it) they won't update.
If they're assembled right (for example one hand grip, one hand guard, and a 2-ingot blade) and they don't rename themselves
This is not necessarily "an issue" - not all items do indeed have a name. - If it tells you "You created an (insert item)" You're still fine, whether it labeled it or not.
if it is assembled corretly, it doesn't rename itself, AND you do not see a notification of assembly - THEN, there's a problem...
you can unassemble it, maybe for some reason the blade didn't cool off properly (FOR EXAMPLE, You dipped it in oil while the forge was running, and then proceeded to turn, with a cooled blade, and dragged the blade over the forge, causing it to heat up, but not enough to update "cooled" to "heated")
If everything else checked out, and it didn't work, and reassembly didn't work, multiple times - Then there may be a corruption in your files, you can either try unzipping it again, or downloading free, or trying through the itchio app
I think I know what you mean. I have the same problem. You made the item correctly, but the customer wont pick it up. Or you didn't make it correctly and the item doesn't tell you that.
If that it correct. When I know I made the item correctly, I just leave it by the front desk and a customer will automatically pick it up. If they don't, I know the order or customer is glitched.
If not correct, I am sure someone else will come around and see your post, or ask again on separate post. Good luck!
0.0.9e can Upsale, by 1-tier.
Should still be 1-tier in the newer IGP videos
The reopened part is known. - It deals with the fact that it is impossible (currently) to save the contents or lack thereof of it, thus, the game has to deal with it that way..... It's probably going to be resolved in some time,
kinda figured that the endless chest thing is not that easily fixed atm, just thought I'd bring it up. also, what's with the standard grips? the customers don't want the old, standard grips. little frustrating. same with the overabundance of rare polearm grips and lack of rare 1 or 2 hand grips. I have like, 40 polearm grips and they can't be used
Just to clarify my build I'm running, it's build 1.0 and I have an easy save with 26 charisma. I compared two identical orders for a two hand copper axe and both came out to 47 copper as the sell price. Is it that there is a variance of prices people pay? Or is it just stuck to the default value and charisma doesn't actually work in this build. Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.
It has been mentioned on the discord - Charisma is currently broken on the dev version - It probably has to deal with how the difficulties interact with stats and custom difficulty and stuff, From what I know, there's some... Crossed wires... that seem to happen
1 (additional) point of charisma will drop the bonus to 1c, I think, Hard to say since I haven't got that build to play around with it.
I am running on the version (Development Build Win64 0.1.0m)
The bug causes customers to overlap on spawn, making multiple customers spawn at once and come to the shop at the same time
This bug seems to keep happening, just from playing for more than 30 minutes at a time, or from simply opening and closing the shop a few times in a row. I am unsure if I am doing anything special to cause this, but it keeps happening during normal gameplay, and only happens after serving 2 or 3 customers.
I am running on Windows 10, with a GTX 1070, 16 GB of ram, Playing on max settings at 1920x1080, but keeping at windowed mode.
I am unsure if I've missed any steps, but I'm pretty sure I got everything, please don't be afraid to contact me with any questions on this specific topic, I'd greatly appreciate any form of fix for this bug.
PS. I am enjoying the game heavily so far, the only problem I've run into as of my time of playing, is this bug, it doesn't ruin or break the game, but it does make it veritably harder to play. You're doing a great job so far Dasius, keep up the great work!
I dunno if you've asked on Discord
but its been reported/added to try and alleviate/be a clearer sign of AI pathing issues
If you're getting more than one customer, check around the map, see if there some kinda AI/NPC issue brewing near the Bridge, or the two Exit portals (left and right of the shop)
If there is, good, coming near it and helping clear it up should help the issue
if not, Switching free mode/shop mode, and saving/resloading, will help by despawning npcs, but it may not change the overall situation.
we still, or rather, I still, which is rather unimportant, seen a reasoning to explain the issue.
it could just be overzealous codework that was introduced in the dev build that is reacting to even the slightest NPC issue.
Ahoy, there seems to be a hole in the ground in the canyon walking through the forest towards the lake, from the back side of the shop. walking towards the lake, it is just before the closed door. Happened upon it when carrying some stuff and it dropped me to death and respawn at the church.

Also experiencing some other issues ive found here and there but it seems like theyre mostly reported already
Okay, so with the regular patreon build (0.1.0) I have found a few rather frustrating issues, but the two that affect me the most are as follows:
1. Charisma does not work, as I have only been receiving 1 credit per transaction and my level for the charisma is 30. I should be receiving 30% more than I am.
2. Customers will slowly accumulate over time, making it hard to see the text as there are like 3+ standing in the doorway, whihc also eventually leads to customers getting stuck, never leaving and never entering.
3. this one is not quite as important from a game-play perspective - I just sold a wolf katana and the blade was upside-down, and when I made a polearm (an angelic guard accidentally got stuck to it but I rolled with it) the price of the component guard only sold for 4 copper, which considering it is a rare component seems a bit unfair.
Charisma was mentioned some time ago by Patrons for this version, I'm not sure why it went on this long without recovering, but its possible its intentional, as 1c is impossible even at 1% It could be getting reworked, similar to intelligence/quality/item stats.
Customer stack can be removed with save/reload, but its being caused primarily (might not be solely) by Customers who request shields (or more than 1 item)
when They get one item and then "wait", the game has gotten confused, the waiting isn't the sign of that, but for some reason, it has started to think the "first customer" is ready to leave, and when you dismiss the shield customer or complete his request a "second customer" is ready to leave, and "both customers" are leaving - So the game sends in a new customer so the game sends in a new customer.....
and if you do another shield customer - - - So the game sends in a new, a new, a new customer.
Another shield - new new new new customer
and another 30 shields newnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnew~~
Infinitely. So don't even give shield customers anything and just dismiss them, and you should be good, for the most part.
The same, almost, can be said for Sword "specific" customers.
The ones that specify guard, blade and grip they want for their sword
These guys will currently spawn guards if you hold any item that doesn't match their order, and also has a guard, that isn't stolen, btw, stolen and not items don't count. but any item they can detect, that is wrong, will cause the issue.
So if you avoid these two, most problems will be resolved.
(the latter problem hopefully is already resolved)
Ok, I have figured out why a couple things happened to me. First I'm stupid for not making two headed axes, Secondly the guard appear when a NPC asks for a pacific guard to be on their sword. They will throw in maybe 10 guards of that kind, I know this because one asked for round guard and they spawn in the ceiling, which is cool, but one asked for hero guards and continued to spawn in those guards... I had to go to the main menu because there was so many guards I thought it would break the game, at least 50.... While all of this was happening the NPCs where piled up at my door....
This is indeed correct, Hopefully it has also already been addressed, so the next version you shouldn't see it
If you avoid holding items that are not the requested sword and parts, It will not occur, If you're holding anything that has a blade, guard, and grip, that isn't their order, they will spawn
again, hopefully already addressed
You can also for the most part completely avoid them by dismissing the sword specific customers immediately (This applies for shield customers as well, for a different reason, as they are currently the primary cause of multiplying customers)
You loaded an old save it looks like
in 0.0.9e, Stations were spawned by the engine every time you saved and reloaded/shut down the game/etc
In 0.1.0o, stations are only spawned on new game, and from there, Save to the file, and reload from the file
This includes position data, as it is now possible to move stations around.
You will need to restart in 0.1.0+
SAME HERE, ON NORMAL MODE AND I GOT TAXED 2 DAYS IN A ROW. ONE WAS 190ISH AND THE SECOND DAY WAS 110, IM ON EPISODE 7 OF MY VIDEOS AND I MADE A TOTAL OF MAYBE A GRAND AND NOW IM BACK DOWNN TO 300 -400 COPPER. I WAS TAXED TWICE BEFOE BUT IT WAS ON LIKE 40 COPPER BOTH TIMERS SO I DIDNT THINK MUCH OF IT. ALSO I TOOK A 1:30 VIDEO ON SOMETHING THAT KEEPS HAPPING TO MY SHOP, A BUNCH OF HEARO GARDS KEEP SPAWNING IN, ITS IN 2 DIFFENT VIDEOS IF U WISH TO SEE THEN THE 1:30 VIDOE IS THEM ALL OVER MY SHOP. I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO REPORT THIS TO U SO I HOPE THIS IS OK< PLEASE GET BACK TO ME SOON.
It's been mentioned a few times ( not sure about on here, but it was mentioned almost immediately on the discord when the public patch went live)
Hopefully, It has also been addressed already, But I cannot swear to that, as I'm not in a position to speak for the team, But *uses magic 8 ball* signs point to "quite likely"
You can avoid this issue by Not selling to Sword Specific customers (They specify the type of guard, grip, and blade they want)
If they see you holding anything that is not the sword they requested, they start to spawn the guard they requested under the shop
again, expectation is that this has been addressed
There's also a problem you may also run into, With shield customers, or multi-item - If they ask for more than just the tool, (like a tool and shield) serving them EITHER ITEM will make them believe they've left, and cause a 2nd customer to spawn when they actually do leave (dismissed after one or completed with two)
This stacks infinitely, and eventually will become impossible to have customers leave.
again, Can be avoided by dismissing immediately, customers requesting for more than just "one item"
The second issue is any tool part
Any grip, any guard, any metal head.
You shouldn't run into a problem provided you don't throw (left click charge) or fling (turn+release rightclick) - oh, and also provided you don't actively try and push the item through objects (namely the floor and walls)
I can't claim whether this issue is scaled back or not, in some ways, it is seen as partially a feature, that is being a little overzealous to try and alleviate certain instances of "stuck"
The first issue should hopefully be addressed already. - It can be "alleviated" with saving and reloading (should despawn them, bringing the customer count back to default)
The MAIN cause but not swearing its the only cause of this, is shield customers. Completely avoid selling to shield customers at all for this version (0.1.0o) This should be considered "extended" to customers that ask for more than just a single weapon, too.
There's also a third issue you may eventually run into, that should also hopefully be fixed by the next patch
It deals with Specific Sword Requests, Customers that specify what guard, grip, and blade to use for their one hand sword, should either be avoided completely or.... Do not get their order wrong. If you get their order wrong, or rather, if you're holding Any item that isn't their correct order they will cause guards to spawn, quickly, in the shop causing lag and probable crash.
Again. your first issue and this should hopefully already be addressed.
"Greatswords - Specific Greatsword orders appear no different than Non-specific. If Items properly assemble, and customers are accepting otherwise, expect the reason is specific for the greatsword, probably best to save time and dismiss em.
(Unlikely) veerrry small chance that polearms may also be afflicted." #confirmed-bugs
(quote that I took from my confirmed bugs post on the discord, already had it copied cause I was talking with someone else about it)
So I was previously playing on 0.0.9e and updated to the 0.1.0 and whenever I port my save it doesnt load in my anvil, table that the customers walk to and ask for a weapon and my crafting table! I have my gold but the most vital things are GONE!
It wouldnt let me take a screenshot with the pause menu off
0.0.9e did not have the stations saved in the save file - they were loaded by the engine itself.
0.1.0(x) loads the stations from the save file, but does spawn them with the engine on a new game.
If you load an old save - there's no entries that register the stations, and the engine is told "this is a load from a save, not a new game" so it doesn't spawn them.
Resulting in no stations being found.
There's but only one possible fix to this that I can possibly think of that you could TRY and do to try and "salvage" the save - but it'd require having 100g to purchase the house on the hill, as well as a backup hammer (possibly not assembled) - as, for as far as I know, everyone that has shown trying to load an out of date save, all have "copper empty" for their hammer - which is incapable of the necessary jobs of the player.
In general, the only real option though is, to restart and make a new save.
Guard spam is caused by Specific sword Requests
If you're holding an item with a tool head, guard, and grip, that isn't the correctly requested item, The guard requested by the customer will begin to spawn in the middle of the floor under the house, eventually the physics of which will cause it to erupt upwards from the floor.
You can AVOID this by either A) dismissing the Specific Sword requesters right away
OR not getting their order wrong, or not holding the wrong item.
This should hopefully have already been addressed, along with many of the other things I was just talking about in other posts.
Note This gets incredibly harder to avoid if you allow customers to pile up without reloading, as their requests can merge and you'll fail to be capable of even having the chance to notice their presence.
Specific sword requests look like this
blacksmith I need a tin one hand sword with a rare grip, hero guard, and a pointed blade
If you hold a for example
iron, rare grip, hero guard, pointed blade the spam will happen
if you hold a tin common grip hero guard pointed blade
if you hold a tin, rare, normal guard, pointed blade
Even if you hold a spear in which you've added a guard to while completing it, the spam will happen. (at least it did for me while I was testing one of the times)
If you however hold a stolen version, or a non-existent item, The spam will not happen.
Example of a non existent item
A one hand sword blade, on a two hand grip and guard
A dagger with a guard
A pickaxe with a one hand grip
A hatchet with a two hand grip (small axe head)
Coal ingot and Zinc Ingot do not exist, thus of course it'd never be made, though, It's really not supposed to show coal ingots at all.
As for steel alloy - if there's ever an issue with it not displaying, try removing the ore and putting it back in, and/or moving the smelter, as the detector might have gotten blocked by something (unlikely)
If those don't work, go for a save reload rather than trying anything else, but first, remove the ore that you can, then do the reload.
All ore is *supposed* to get "frozen" in the furnace when you try to input it for smelting - The "actor" is supposed to get locked
Currently only "one" actor is getting locked, resulting in some misc bugs/exploits with the other ore and smelting - but the one that is locked, is not a bug.
The "not enough fuel" is an entirely different issue altogether.
Not enough fuel can be caused by various thing
1) other stations/physics hit boxes could be in the way of one or more of the detectors - From my observation I ASSUME... there is a "Fuel detector" an "ignition detector" and an "output detector".
The Fuel detector is tied to the meter that visibly displays how much fuel is present - you can exceed this, though the meter will just remain in red for the majority of that. - The "ignition" detector IMO is what causes the majority of "Not enough fuel" as this would be the detector that targets a piece of coal or wood and starts burning it for heating and smelting. - If this detector fails in some way, it won't burn wood, won't tell there's wood to burn, and thus, nothing will occur. - Output Detector will allow heat to work, but prevent smelting to work, if only the output detector is blocked (near the casting tray) - when only this happens, its usually simple enough to fix.
2) a second possible way is both fake fuel and fake readout - Not much I can really say about this one, sometimes it just seems like fuel disappears or that the readout is empty with fuel in it. - saving and reloading will usually eliminate this - as its usually either the fuel is actually burnt already, and for whatever reason their visuals remained, or perhaps the fuel detector had something happen, I don't know.
3) This way is more user error, and can be avoided by not trying to smelt more than a small small number at a time - and that's by putting too much ore in, and requesting too much output - not only would it take forever to heat up for each additional ore chosen, but the thing only reads so much fuel at a time, right? - even if it can have more plaed inside that it knows what to do with.
Saving and reloading will purge the non-save file data, yeah - which includes customers
The reason the additional customers are spawning IS NOT LIMITED TO WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY.... but what I say below here is DEFINITELY one of the main ways.
Shield Customers currently cause an issue when they "Wait" for the second item, No matter what, if you sell anything to a shield customer, they will cause one more additional customer to spawn, one for every time you repeat this. - These are not intentional spawns, and as a result, other issues associated with them are not necessarily bugs, because the additional customer itself is the bug.
Avoidance can be done by simply dismissing Shield customers right off the bat, and if you accidentally allow two or more customers, it is likely safer to just go ahead and save and reload then and there, rather than wait.
additional as I said, not limited to Shield - There could be some other less obvious things that are triggering additional spawns as well - and while I've never seen it personally, The custom difficulty also has a setting for "Multi-order" which sounds like a customer could ask for two or more items, not necessarily being shield(s) - if this DID occur ever, that customerr too would likely cause another customer, as well. - since it seems tied to the "Waiting"
I'm having an issue where the paper signs are blurry and unreadable. The blueprint paper is the same way, so I can't figure out how to do anything
This is what it looks like
I'm running on the latest version of the game which is 0.1.0
My pc specs:
Nvidia GTX 970
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad-Core
8 GB RAM
And it isnt my graphics settings because every other texture in the game is clear
Ensure first that if you downloaded 64bit before, that you redownload 64bit as it was accidentally a reupload of 32bit originally
However, now beyond this.
Go to the the blueprint or to the podium in your room, keep the contents of either to one side of the screen, and pause the game
go to graphics settings, and with either effects or shadows, keep futzing with them until the clarity changes - You can keep doing this until your setting is what you want it at, and keeps clarity.
Why specifically it decided to start breaking/failing to trigger, I don't know, but it has something to do with those two settings primarily, and with the settings failing to update or trigger or something. (possibly as a whole)
If you keep adjusting those one of those two, though, eventually it'll correctly update
For the most part, if you could please re... eeehh... I guess theere has been video postings.. it doesn't really matter... but feel free to redact some of the info here, I won't stop you if you decide to, and would encourage it.
anyway onto the matter at hand.
Yes. Some places unload (partially?) when the player is not within their cell/region - This causes foreign entities (anything that isn't ore is foreign, this includes the player(save/reload)) to fall through the now unloaded surface, and generally, into the void, however its not always directly into the void, (player mostly), but it is always "gone"
The area unloading is not specifically "a bug" as that is the intended purpose.
Lost crystals can (somewhat) be solved with Slipcor's save fixer
the most recent one (for 0.0.9e) can be used for some features in 0.1.0o - there is MINOR support for difficulty and primary save file - if you have 3 normal files (I think) and this one in particular is your "2" (3rd, I think) then the save fixer will have a lot of trouble being of any help, as it will be next to impossible for it to identify the save file - it isn't yet designed to support multiple saves.
but if its the primary file (of a difficulty, I believe, so if you have 1 hard, 1 normal, and 1 easy, you can fix any of them.. I think.... I'm not sure, as I haven't had the need to, and it hasn't been priority in my mind to check it cause it isn't updated)
There's no way to recover the crate, though that's small potatoes cause you can chop essentially infinite logs for essentially infinite crates.
If you can't recover the crystals, there's a few options still that remain.
one is to wait till you can
another is to just forget about it for the time being, as the [redacted(long)] this version
And the last, very last, would be to restart your save...
technically there's one before that too
you can try to be like Slipcor and break open your save and edit the crystals entries yourself - If they don't exist, the engine is programed to make them exist (when you use them, correctly, the engine will reload them on the next save and reload, )
as Slipcor does, you should backup your save if you try this, just like his fixer, as 1 wrong step can instantly bork the save file.
Not a "bug" per se
0.1.0o has a new station system as well as smelter system, among other things like save slots and difficulty.
Your 0.0.9e doesn't have equivalent difficulty identification - would default as a primary(non numbered) save slot - If it had the smelter, it's possible that could update smoothly however
There building system aforementioned includes the stations being saved to the save file, so it can track their updated positions on the map and such.
now that they're scripted to save in the save file, they're also scripted to reload from the same file - meaning if their entry in the save file doesn't exist
They don't exist.
And 0.0.9e - didn't save them to the save file, it spawned them in with the engine, unloaded them, and reloaded them, all engine.
So a 0.0.9e (or earlier) save file doesn't have entries to reload them.
0.1.0o on a new save trigger - spawns the stations in for the very first time and that alone. - which gives them an initial entry to reload from
_______
Long story short. - Due to drastic feature changes and inclusions, it is impossible to use that save
While it was possible in many cases to ignore changes and continue a save before, these are fairly game-breaking
Alpha version 0.1.0: I gave a man the wrong sword, because I read his request wrong, and it then started to rain normal guards into my shop. I haven't been able to recreate it, but man do I have some cleaning up to do...
Hi I read all the bugs and I didn't see one that I'm experiencing (sorry if it's there and I missed it). The problem is that whenever I try to craft a weapon and I put the handle and blade together they go together but it reads uncommon one hand grip or whatever grip used, the problem persists past restart and the weapon is unsellable I have tried deconstucting the weapon and putting back together but that dosnt work. My computer specs are and my version is 1.0
It is actually there, but it happens.
It sounds like you are making improper combinations. Can you tell me what you are trying?
A great sword is made with a large blade, two handed grip, two handed guard,
A regular sword is made with a regular blade, one handed grip, one handed guard.
You can not forget the guards, if they are not made right then you get that text.
I found a bug that in the latest Alpha 0.1.0 update and it makes it so that when you're selling guards that it increases the selling price for more than it actually sells for. You can do this by having one other item and a guard and repeatedly picking up the guard to increase the selling price. plz fix.
Alpha Version: 0.1.0
Regarding Geoffrey's Shop
Problem: Breaking the bank
How to reproduce problem:
1. Buy 2 guards (doesn't matter what type)
2. Take guards to Geoffrey's
3. Place guards on table (where you sell them)
4. Take one guards off of table.
5. Place guard back on table.
Repeat steps 4 and 5

Try reinstalling directx from the web installer here http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=35. While that file does indeed deal with audio, it is not a standalone library, so it won't work no matter where you put it without the other libraries as well. The self-contained installer from that link will automatically determine what files are missing and install them.
edit: I forgot to mention, you should also delete the version of that dll that you downloaded from all of the folders you put it in. I don't know where you got it or what version it is, but if it is the wrong version and it is still present in the game's directory, it will override the correct version that gets installed in the system folder. Best to just remove it to be safe.
Hi Dasius... I just downloaded the game and started playing and that's what happened:
1. I'm running the free - Alpha version (0.1.0) 64 bit - of the game found on your itch page;
2. And no I'm not talking about any error message of any sort;
3.This is what I'm talking about ^;
4. I just downloaded and started the game, opened the shop, then received my first client and pressed the "Z" button to chose the hammer form. IT WON'T LET ME DO IT! If i hold Z my mouse icon will appear and i'll be able to move it around freely while the game freezes... as long as I keep pressed Z of course. In fact the term "freeze" is not completely correct... is more of an "escape button" idk if i'm explaining my self correctly or not;
5. I'm running the game on Windows 10 - 64 bits.
PS: my computer matches the game requirements don't worry about that.
Use ''a'' heated copper ingot and chose shields. You can make four kinds of parts.
Use ''two'' heated copper ingot and chose shields. Make a shield rim.
shield Boss, Hand Enarmes, Wrist Enarmes, shield rim ----------- necessary to make a complete shield.
shield Laurel ------------ unnecessary (Unless client want.)
Attach all of them and you will get a beautiful shield.
AAAAAAAAATTACH ''Shield Laurel'' AT THE END! Or you will not be able to attach other parts! (Maybe a bug?)
And THAT'S how you get to reset your save file folks!
Alpha 0.1.0 64 bit
Playing on windows 10 64 bit
Started an "easy mode" file... ended up at day 8 or 9 starting with 40 ingots of copper and... by the end of the day... this happened... save file unplayable.
I'm theorizing of course... but... is like the game generates customers based on the amount of materials you've got
no, it doesn't. i played a game where i only kept the necessary materials around (3 bars and 1 of each grip/guard) glitched like that on day 5, only got worse each day. found out if you save, exit and reload the save that there is a chance it will fix it, but only if there are no, or at least not supposed to be, any customers in your shop (close shop and wait a minute before reloading file)
If you find that they are teleporting in after reloading then you need to walk over to where they spawn so the game loads in their pathing A.I.
I start up the game, all runs well, start a new game, loads in. And it loads to this, frozen I believe, can't move, can't do anything other than close the game lol.
imma jump in here for him, considering i think more than one of us is getting the same thing, it loads in fine, title screen, loadinig screen and all but once we get in, we are frozen in place, everything outside is still moving but cant move or look around, and it would seem our height is small as well. i hope that helps
Ah i see. I would seem that your characters are having trouble spawning into the world. I'll look for a solution. Thanx guys and I apologize for the trouble.
Ok another bug report commin. So I played the game for a bit and decided to leave and saved the game before I left and it took everything from my first save and brought it into the second save how IDK but I have two horses now and 8 boxes and yea everything's doubled. I had to make another pick axe as well I know that has nothing to do with it. Its something to do with the saves.
I know I touched on the save issue a tad bit but I got a bit more insight on it as I had to start a new game. So when you save it asks you if you wanna overwrite your old save and when you do even if you have the same name, it just starts to multiply now you would think I could click on my "Meow" day 1 the oldest one and delete it. NOPE don't do it lol for some reason they are all linked somehow. In my old game I deleted all the earlier saves of the same save and when I left the game and came back all my saves even the ones I kept were gone. 
I haven't been as active on the forum recently cause I got auto-logged out but
to go to the topic at hand....
The issue is they're all the same save.
And.
You're saving wrong.
When you start, with absolutely no saves, and click save in game, you'll see a square for that current save, right?
This isn't a save.
This is "New save slot" with all the information attached to it for the current game/save
if you click "New save slot" - it will make a new save, regardless of what you name it.
The only way to truly overwrite the previous "new save", is to (well first create one and then) scroll down the list, until you find the one you actually created - If you only have 1 real save, It will be the bottom slot, while new save slot will be the top slot.
As for changing that save-slots name afterwards.... mmm... I dunno I think that would probably act like new save slot, hard to say.
I have no idea what could cause this, but when I load up a save file this happens and I get maybe 4-8 fps on the game. The deer disappears, the cart gets teleported into the house and spazzes out, the anvil, furnace, water bucket, counter, workbench, and a few other things dont load in. I can't make any real progress in the game since I have to start from 0 every time I want to play. :/
0.1.1
at win32/win64 there is game breaking problem. When u save and go to the menu and back to the game, deer and the cargo spawns in the house and all of your stuff is gone (win32) / bedroom items duplicate every time you save and come back. I cant play this game with out saving. (win64)
(Loaded game 2 times, you can see that there are 3 cheese and other items. This is causing huge lag when done more than 3 times, and i have 16g ram and RTX 2060 OC) (win64)
(down there u can see that all items are gone and the cargo is inside the house) (win 32)
I dont know solution to these problems but i hope you can fix them.

I love this game so much and i hope you can fix these issues, i will buy this game 100% from steam when it comes.
I believe the pumpkins multiply and are scattered everywhere, I read that they may be the issue but I'm not sure how to fix it
1. Alpha 0.1.1
2. When Playing the game There are large sections of the view able area that are just blacked out, they disappear depending on what direction I am facing
4. I don't know how you'd be able to reproduce the problem as it starts when I load in.
5. CPU: AMD Atholon II x4 635 Processor 2.9GHz
12GB Ram
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 240
OS: Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit
At first I was going to say "That's a bug I've never seen before"
But... a gt240??
I've my doubts that is capable of properly running the game... Its extremely old, and isn't even gaming oriented technology (x50's are entry levels in their respective generation, 60/70s would be what most 'gamers' would consider 'pretty much required' and 80(and potentially some special models here and there) are top tier, 40s are just high-tier non-gaming oriented, and the 2xx was.. quite some time ago. I wonder if it was even at the point where HD was becoming more mainstream....
Anywho. Your PC specs are... darn near brick imo.. and its quite likely that something in the game just doesn't run on your hardware properly. - From what I hear, The next version should bring back Foliage low = no foliage, which will help graphical load.. but... I don't think it'll help THAT much...
You should consider getting pretty much any graphics card you can to replace your current one
You could pick up a pretty much any x60 or x70 GTX and it would make a world of difference, and not all of them, particular some of the older ones, are that expensive
https://www.logicalincrements.com/
You can also use this site to see some of the price-point choices for the previous.... "well known?" tech
More than likely, apart from the RAM amount, everything in the absolute bottom tier (at the top of the chart), is better than what you have.. whether or not that will actually be enough to properly run games like MLBS.. that.. I do not know. but almost assuredly its better than what you have.
your Athlon is bordering a decade old tech, the Athlon 200GE will almost assuredly outperform it, even though it may not necessarily be to the point of properly running MLBS and other games
of course the r3 2200 and 2400 would be better choices, but its not always simple to just say "yeah go out and start spending money, no no, more than that, higher." and actually expect to see something of it.
If you can get one of those three, and it work just fine with your motherboard, That would be best, then you would simply take your gt240 out, and rely on the vega integrated graphics
If your motherboard can't properly support, or even interface, with the newer chip, that's less ideal, as that means far more reassembly and price.. and/or those that don't like to take apart and rebuild their computer... buying a new computer altogether.
I figured my hardware had something to do with it, when your game tells you that the device drivers have known issues and you can't update them, it's a giveaway, I thought it had something to do with how the shaders are done just because of the way they appear and disappear, and I was hoping there was a software fix that I could try before a hardware fix. My PC was built in 2009 ish, and I've put quite a bit of work into it just keep it running how it is now. I get decent frames on most games I play, and very rarely do I see problems arise from my hardware. I have played games made with the Unreal 4 engine before with no problems, but there is a first time for everything. I definitely see the point in upgrading, but I'm hesitant to do much of anything to the insides of the computer because of how temperamental it gets, when I added ram 6months ago it took me half an hour for it to decide to post and it decided to burnout a stick in the process. So if you can think of any software fixes I should try before hardware upgrade it would be appreciated, but I know it would only delay the inevitable.
I understand where you're coming from, but if your PC/laptop is THAT temperamental you owe it to yourself to get a new PC/laptop and just upgrade, my own laptop is about year old it runs Windows 10 and for the most part my laptop runs the game just fine, but if in a few years I'm able to afford a newer, better, faster system I'd jump on the opportunity to get it. If being able to afford it or the monthly payments is your biggest concern I suggest taking a look at Fingerhuts', selection they have a few laptops that can run Windows 10 no problem and they've got really low monthly payment plans. either way whatever you decide good luck.
first at all, i pretty love this game and i'm Korean. so my English may be bad (using translation)
1. version: 0.1.1
2. when i saved game and loaded, there were double amount of pumpkins,apples(?),potions, books in bedroom.
2-1. the FPS sharply drops to such an extent that game play is impossible.
2-2. the error continues to appear when i save and load the game.
3. 4.
5. i7-6700k(X64) 16GB gtx970
Please fix this bug for players...
So, I'm not sure what causes this, but in normal mode I can't move upon starting a new game. Easy and hard work perfectly fine, so I'm not sure what could be different. This below is what it gets stuck on.
Here's my specs if it helps:
Edit: I'm using version 0.1.1
Edit 2: I tried again, it just said "fatal error"
check the FAQ for 0.1.1 or the discord bug list( for New Version, New Save). They relate.
Please check this post and/or this post
as they should contain information related to this issue (I even was just testing it again on itchio app just recently, reaffirming the findings, playing around with them a little, etc)
Alternatively, come onto the Discord and talk about the issue, or dm someone (like me) if you want further counsel
sometimes costumers has a special list of parts and if they don't match up they wont take it read what they say carefully and the shield has 5 parts to it that through me for a loop for well over a few real life days to figure out why my shields wouldn't sell oh and if the customer ask for a common grip you have to go to the part shop just head out the front door look a little to the right and there is a house behind a well that's the part store grab wooden grips those are common and just make the weapon to how the want the rest of it and now if your tools get stuck press v on the bench and move it and it will leave the items there and they will drop to the floor then you can move them after you can move your bench back
First: the file coming back is likely based on how the save was handled - if you had multiple versions of it, at any time, - to completely start fresh, I would go to the game folder, and delete the slots along with the saves - Slot file stores the header info for the game to associate with the new save files, if it says a save slot exists, it exists, if it doesn't, even if the file is there, the save doesn't exist to the game/engine.
As for lag spike - If you join the discord and dm me, I can help you out with that, when the time arises, as well as the other thing you mentioned, I can tell you what contributes to the lag, and how to mitigate some of it, and also what may be contributing to the other thing (more or less speculation)
not entirely sure the issue being reported here, but, if you join the discord, and DM me with the save file and potentially an image of the issue, I can probably help you work around the issue and fix it from hanging. (I'm not actually sure the issue you described, and the hanging, are actually related, also, There's other things that are more likely to be at play, but I can help you with fixing those, too)
The dev team is impossibly small, So public hotfixes are few and far inbetween. Patrons tend to get updates every so often, which would usually include "the hotfix" - unless its something that completely borked the game period, not just for some.
However. you can mitigate/workaround the issue on your own end by incinerating the items from the bedroom (you can do it one by one, or, you can manuever the furnace into place so that the majority of the bedroom items just spawn inside the furnace, and then you can just press the button until they're clear, every so often
You can also purge them, and the firewood, and other things, via the save file - if you want, you can also join the discord and dm me your save file(s) and I can do that for you, I know what I'm looking for and can do it quicker. (within reason, if i'm actively present)
A different bug can also be used to mitigate geoff's firewood, You can place the furnace within the "detection" area, and it will stop Geoff's spawns from despawning, and, respawning, even if you leave.
this will prevent his firewood from just spawning everytime you enter and exit his detection box -though, in a good, and bad, way it will also stop all guards and grips, too. - Good, because you can keep some rares or choice grips present until you can easily pick them up, bad, because you have to remove the furnace any time you want him to spawn fresh. (I do not recommend leaving the furnace within the detection area, and saving - there's no telling what problems that could cause, and they would be a bug derived from a bug, so, they wouldn't even be within the scope of reporting.)
You can workaround this by incinerating the items, however unless you have a lot of the items in the bedroom, they're not likely the cause of crash or playability, I recommend joining the discord and dming me the save-file you wish to rescue, as I suspect a different issue is causing the trouble, or a combination of multiple things - after we see what is the issue, I can address some of the things and others to hopefully keep you running smoother and with less issues
Hey! I found a bug!
1 Alpha 0.1.1 2.Whenever I load into a save, the horse trailer appears in front of me, in the shop. The anvil ,furnace and others are gone. The game keeps on loading, I can't do anything..3. Image:(srry for quality) 4.no idea 5. i7 3770s 3.1 ghz, gtx 1060, 8gb ram. The game can normaly run with everything on epic, at 60fps..
I also have this problem. If I save again and reload, ANOTHER carriage appears clipped into the one that is already clipped into the shop. This is gamebreaking and it seems a decent amount of folks have this error.
Win7 64bit, 16gb RAM, Intel i5-7600k @ 3.8GHz, GTX 1050 Ti 4gb.
All of my drivers are updated.
Eidt: Was originally playing the 32bit version of the game because people said it was more stable. I DL the 64bit version and the cart in room bug was gone. now, I get the bug where the items in the bedroom multiply upon saving and loading a game. It is playable at least.
I'd recommend joining the discord for the reload problem you described, I can help you about if you dm me your savefile, More than likely, I can tell you what seems to be going on, as well as advise you on some things that may help keep you running smoothly and some potential things that may help the situation (but don't put too much weight in that)
Hey I really love the game, it's so much fun and cool. I play version 0.1.1
These are the problems I have:
1. Sometimes from day 6 or 7 on I can't sleep anymore. Somehow it doesn't do anything when I click on the bed.
2. Almost everytime when I try to reload a save (it doesn't matter if it's just a few minutes or hours or even days) it gets frozen on the loading screen (see picture underneath) furthermore does the music keep playing.
If you haven't joined the discord yet, I recommend doing that, And then dming me your savefile in question that is freezing, I do have some ideas for your issue(s), and I can go over what the specific issue is when I see the file, and some things that would hopefully help you stay running more smoothly, and not being faced with 'bug after bug' - hopefully.
For the "can't sleep anymore" issue - Its the wagon. 9/10 times it'll more than likely be the wagon, with the other time being something related to the game, items, and when it takes an item away from you suddenly, or you lose it unnaturally (releasing it yourself) - Which can be fixed almost immediately by playing around with another item.
the wagon variant must be saved and reloaded, though you can avoid having that by not driving the wagon, if you want to use it, just have the deer follow you instead, for now. (at least the deer isn't like the horse was, the horse identified as an Apache attack helicopter, and used your items as ammunition)
For the later half, I recommend the same to you as the person who replied to you, Please head over to the discord, if you haven't already, and dm me, particularly with the save file that is having trouble - I have ideas on what it is, but until I see it, I can't know for sure, Once that's handled, I can relay the same info to you as I do to everyone I try and help, between what seems to be accurate, and speculation gathered from others and myself
(Apologies, this is going to be reposted info quite a bit of times)
you can either
A) check the stickied "FAQ 0.1.1"
B) check the confirmed bug list ported from discord (paraphrased, should have confirm and discord in the title though) (on here)
C) Get on the discord and check #confirmed-bugs under "new version, new save"
D) https://discordapp.com/channels/285355434741858306/285595458750119937/5819297630... (this is a lcomment link, of an image/comment I posted for the location, as well)
E) Alternative workaround (not a fix in the slightest) Change what difficulty you're playing on. (this will most of the time, work, As its usually your old saves that are causing the issue, and unless you have saves of every difficulty, it will avoid creating the conflict when you choose a new save difficulty that you didn't have previously)
If you still have issue past that, feel free to tell me (you can get faster results over discord)
Custom difficulty part sounds like new version new save issue
Particular with you saying this is one of your favorite games, I would assume you've played older versions and have older saves

Ore veins
All ore veins start as stone on a fresh save/new player - anytime "new player" bug occurs, it'll be stone again (along side all the duplications that occur)
Your two options here are either wait around for the "Depleted vein" to kick in and recycle them, or, save and reload - which would end up forcing them to unload and reload, usually resulting in various ores - Non-depleted vein recycle time is shorter (usually occurs at midnight/turn of the new day), depleted vein is longer, though I can't swear to how long
I've had reports of people waiting and getting veins, even though I myself wouldn't be that patient.
The latter part of your post is why the first part has FPS drop - If you DM me the save file over on Discord, I can help you fix that part.
Someone, whether it is me or not, must absolutely fix one of your saves, or give you a non-afflicted save, For the few people that have the issue you have, it always happens no matter what when saving the initial time.
As for the windowed mode.
It boots in fullscreen by default, but the settings file it creates is a small resolution + windowed mode - have you not altered your in-game graphics settings...? Personally I recommend making it match your desktop resolution, and leaving it windowed
with a matching resolution, you won't even barely be able to tell its not fullscreen.

Unfortunately I do not, and afaik, no one does, know what triggers "New Player bug"
If you dm me on the discord with a savefile and tell me the issue(s) you want fixed/looked at, I can help - in this case I can help clear out the duplicates, restore lost gear and levels (maybe) (and if not, add replacement that makes it like I did) and potentially some other things that may or may not need to be addressed.
Other than recommending the discord route
I would say do the "standard" "failsafe" type "debugging" actions you might do with any game
backup save
Delete the existing Data from the game-folder and local Appdata folder (ShopSim in appdata's "Local" folder), and then redownload the zip and extract it again - I recommend not downloading it to, nor extracting it on/to, the Desktop - I recommend that it be placed somewhere else, and preferably a place where you would assume you have full access to (read, write, rewrite, etc) - as well I often recommend games have their own drive, if you have multiple drives.
and with erased settings, I would often also recommend trying to use windowed mode, with a resolution in game, that matches your desktop resolution, Resulting in a borderless windowed fullscreen looking game, that is hard to tell is windowed. (this is unlikely to be factoring into the issue at hand)
(sorry for reposting, but same information for you if you're having "new player" bug (as I call it))

If you used the deer and wagon, This is likely what caused your issue
driving the wagon leads to a lot of interaction breaking, particularly the bed's ability to activate sleep - save and reload is the only thing known to reset it if it was a seat on the wagon.
The wagon's lock sorta somewhat overrides/replaces the crate's lock.
If you lock the crate and then set it, contents full, on the wagon, and lock the wagon - the items interaction will, largely, break. - if you instead "lock the crate, place it on the wagon * AND THEN * *unlock* the crate, you will likely have no further issue
you don't need to worry about the crates contents going nuts just because you unlocked the crate, because when you lock the wagon, the contents will get locked again, anyway.
So instead of Crate -> Lock applied -> Wagon -> wagon Lock applied to "Lock applied items" - you'll be crate -> locked applied -> wagon -> crate unlock applied -> wagon lock applied
I really like the game but the Save and Load system is whack. When I load in one of my games, everything that your only supposed to get in the beginning re-spawns. the un-common grips. copper bars, lantern, one piece of wood, the 5 crates, and even the deer spawns again.

Whenever i try and load a save the framerate just goes crazy and makes the game unplayable. It seems to be loading something and it doesn't stop. But starting a new game works fine. The version I'm playing on: Alpha version 0.11
I don't think my specs are the problem but here they are: CPU: FX-8350, 8GB DDR3 RAM, Graphics: RX 570
it means windows is not familiar with the program. there should be a info button on the pop-up, when clicked it will give you the option to "run anyways". the pop-up is just windows way of warning you of unknown programs being potential threats to your system.
I also have the problem with sales saying 0 copper on the board. Also my shield rims wont attach to the boards (yes same type both).
as some people said above a bug where all the movable objects buildings and decorate stuff (chair table racks pumpkins furnace anvil basically everything that moves) gets duplicated whenever i load a save and it gets annoying cause you will have double everything and the game gets too buggy
(if it helps this duplicate bug happened after i changed the graphics settings)
also the shield rim bug happened to me then i tried different rim which was the heater rim for the round shield and it somehow worked (i got a round shield inside a heater shield)
thats all the game breaking bugs i got i really think this game has much potential keep working on it and thanks
EDIT: also here is a screenshot for a tiny little bug the cashier machine doesn't show the total price
When i sold to the AI it then stand still and wont get out of my shop. Windows 10, 64bit
I found a new bug with saving in the mine.
Charisma doesn't work? I'm playing 0.1.0
