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well as a backup hammer (possibly not assembled) - as, for as far as I know, everyone that has shown trying to load an out of date save, all have "copper empty" for their hammer - which is incapable of the necessary jobs of the player.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 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

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.

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
I came across most of your issues several times and I was able to fix first one by heating the head again. The bug with shields seems to be a common issue here (it's always smt about the shields) and it happens with all types of them. But your furnace issue is new, make sure you press HEAT before SMELT
Windows - 64 Bit (MLBS v0.1.1) Shield system functionality blocked
Desc: When the user attempts to build a round shield with all the needed parts, it all can be put together except for the rim of which does not attach to the rest of the shield. It doesn't appear that there's a correct order for this, but I could be mistaken.
Steps to reproduce:
Result: The shield cannot be fully completed, blocking the user from completing the order.
Expected Result: The parts assemble when put together or one by one, and the shield is interacted with properly by the NPC.
Additional Information:
Tested on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0 (17763))
AMD FX 6400 3.5GHz - DirectX 12 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980
Attached: A screenshot of the issue.
hi, I use version 0.1.1 of my little blacksmith shop, the bug is the following, then the first time I open the game I have no problem with framerate and crash, unfortunately when I open the game again or crash or find the cart bugged at home, at home I can't find the table, the bed, in fact there is only the bugged wagon and there are framerate problems, please if you can solve this problem contact me, in case I will continue with version 0.1.0
It says i got 0 in every order i do and could you please fix everything going through walls and ground? Thank you for making this awesome game.
Version: 0.1.1t
System Specs
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
Installed RAM: 8.00 GB (7.78 GB usable)
Issue:
Ever since I tried to load up creative (which did not work and the loading screen was stuck on the screen when you play), I try to load up my save game and the frame rate drops to under 10 (on lowest graphical setting this is unusual) and stays that way. By looking around I can see that all objects and tools are doubled up on themselves. Screenshot added.
(also try to fix the creative loading screen glitch or tell me how to solve it)
Update: I just realized that my axe and pickaxe are gone now.
Charisma doesn't work? I'm playing 0.1.0
Debug version 0.11t rev 626
I lost my fire crystal and can't take it back
