you can take control of your robots (use the green circling arrow to toggle it on or off when looking through kerfur's camera) or use the camera drone to investigate the ping from a distance, there is entities that aren't spooky/evil but if you can't find them/don't want to investigate in-person, it's a nice middle ground.
I was able to solve the problem. A green dot appeared on the radar, and in its place lay a disassembled kerfurs. Most likely, he stumbled upon something that disassembled/killed him. I put all its parts on the workbench and reassembled it. everything works.

you've got yourself in a pretty shitty situation if you managed to softlock it and saved in that state... you can try any one of these
1: reset events and objects and wipe your map... not recommended but if you absolutely have to you can at least fill the mailbox with your essential items first so they carry over
2: get outside the fence and climb up to it with a hook (preferably a half hook) or
3: rig up an airship with something like a bench and balloons (hopefully you already have nails, a hammer/nailgun, and balloons if you want to try this route, otherwise you gotta get some on a different save and put them in the mailbox) and fly up to it
4: back up your save in appdata>local>votv>saved>savegames, then change the prefix of the offending save to b_savenamehere if you've unlocked sandbox mode; if not, I don't think this will unlock it, and if you do have access it will remove a couple easter egg items from the map for some reason. Press V to fly and head over to it and free it, go back home, save, and revert the prefix of your save to s_savenamehere.
It seemed to me a great solution to go into the sandbox, but when I try to remove the protruding part of the camera from the ground, my game freezes and after a long time nothing happens. I've restarted it a couple of times, but everything repeats. Is there any way to get through the wall in flight? I guess then I could just unhook the hook from the camera.
Actually, I tried to do it in a regular game. I had 2 more hooks in stock, I drove the ATV up the mountain and it got stuck too!) I spent a lot of time to get the ATV out, I pulled it out, but I couldn't get the quadcopter... (SPOILER) It's funny, I had some alien things going around there, the lights are off, and I'm behind the map (on the mountain at the green plush) trying to do something xd
damn if cheats aren't even working, you're gonna have to look up if anyone's figured out how to clip out of the invisible wall in this version yet, ways out get patched every update
if you've backed up your world you could try to use the delete command on the hook itself? (cheats in sandbox are accessed with 0 on the numpad), but beware you can delete literally anything and everything with it, including the map itself if your cursor is overlapped with the terrain at all
yes normal kerfus is SUPER buggy in time lapse, he needs tweaks for sure so make sure you turn him off first. They should show up on radar still if you want to try to track them down (you might need to take down all your cameras and throw the atv across the river and such around base as they also show up, if you're sure he's not near base he may have somehow gotten outside the fence, in which case IMO not super worth tracking down), and there is also a >>>>> SPOILER/SECRET >>>>> place to clip through the floor of the base on the porch near the workspace window, he may be stuck under there.
If you do find him stuck somewhere and can't free him/fish him out, drag a workbench over and disassemble/reassemble him
At maximum speed, the radar becomes glitchy; to be more precise, it begins to very often miss some objects and show them at the next check of the territory, which is why very often an alert is triggered about changes in the number of objects in the territory, it makes it very difficult to concentrate on anything
I don't know about the broom, I haven't used it... in the end, I had to use a certain device from a certain event in order to exert a pull on the fridge strong enough to get the physics to dislodge it from the shelf it had gotten embedded in. (This also required me to move a lot of the stuff out of the room because a fridge suddenly slamming into the opposite wall at oh-good-lord speeds tends to knock things around.)
SPOILER ALERT
The gravity gun, which you get from a POI that appears after you get a certain signal. I cleaned my room of the smaller items in it (my plushie collection, my microwave, my coffee machine, etc.), then grabbed the fridge with the gravity gun and walked all the way out onto the porch in order to get a strong enough pull.
you have seen what it is, you just don't know it's what's exploding because it's a bit silly and overdramatic compared to what it does in real life
add your native screen resolution to the res.txt file at appdata>local>votv>assets>res.txt
alternatively play in windowed (but you don't want to do that lol)
Hello.
I like your game.
I bought a robot and since I was a beginner, I didn't know it could get stuck on curbs or steps. I went to bed, and when I woke up I didn’t find him. Only a few days later, when I figured out how the radar worked, I was able to find it in the basement. I have no idea how it got there or how to get it, but if everything is as planned, then okay.
cant slot any drives into the processing machine/stuck on this screen this happened after i inevitably alt-f4'd my game after keeping Kel awake for ~3 (ingame) days while they were schizophrenic about "sensing something" and not being able to sleep (which really feels like its not on purpose!)
i've:
i'm sure someone has posted this one before but i probably missed it. everything in the game runs fine. but sometimes after i save and quit, i wont be able to open the game again, whether its through the itch.io launcher OR through the folder i installed it in itself. doesnt matter where i install it. it just inevitably happens. i just get this popup. i end up having to re install the game when this happens. not a huge issue, just annoying. running on windows 11 x86_64

This isn't a game problem. I think your DirectX is just a little broken. You may install that XAPOFX1_5.dll by yourself or just reinstall DirectX from official Microsoft website. Hope it will help.
And judging by your name, I guess you're russian, so...
Кароче, ты можешь или переустановить DirectX, или скачать этот файл самому. Но решение с переустановкой правильнее. Если не сработает, погугли "Исправляем ошибку файла xapofx1_5.dll". На Дзене есть пару решений проблемы.
Seems to be fps (might have been a freak correlation but cleaning my base up and removing excess light sources helped cull the issue down) tied and easily triggered on reloads and by leaving a bunch of drives cluttered near the slots in general.
If you loaded the game with the drive in, you have to restart it again to reset the slot.
It can also randomly trigger when removing/plugging in drives, but you can correct it by plugging the bugged drive back in UNLESS YOU STORE IT- I keep a dummy drive on my desk to test slots before loading my drive box up to send off as prevention, as if you load the bugged drive into the box, you cannot fix it without reloading the game, even if you take all the drives back out of the box and try to plug them back into the offending slot.
You can retract the cable plug by looking for the option on the coffee maker end of the cable.
This working for all machines with cables.
A bit strange, usually if something falls through the map it teleports to the top of the world and falls near where it fell down- it might be in a bush somewhere nearby but it's probably easiest to put the password changer in the mailbox, save, start a new save, run to the mailbox, get the password, changer, and get the book in the new save and put the password changer and book in the mailbox and save. You can do the same with anything you can put in your inventory- hopefully the book can be picked up (don't see why it couldn't be) as that is the only requirement to using the mailbox besides being in story mode.
The problem is that Winrar nowadays can have issues extracting every file from an archive. It's definitely worth tossing it out for 7Zip.
You must use 7zip or winrar, the default windows compression and extraction is horrible and only handles default .zips and some odd formats.
You might already have winrar, but if not, 7zip is free! https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
(If you are unsure which to get, the first option under 7-Zip 23.01 (2023-06-20), for windows 64 bit is the latest stable release.)
With an archiver installed, it should add an option to the right click menu, and from there you can "extract to (folder name)"; avoid using "extract here" as it will just dump the folder contents out of the folder. You can also compress your own folders to save space or make backups or share stuff faster.
Well, i have a really bad problem, what if im downoloading game, but at some moment the downoload just stops and i can continue it? Maybe file is damaged? Also, in other version that im downoloaded before, like 7.0.0 without patches, there was no folders for custom music for radio/custom images/ custom models for printer. is there any solves for it? Well, in shortcut, i just cant downoload VoTV normally, on one moment it just says "Downoload canceled" and i cant start it again.
Do you know how to get to appdata? If not, I'll explain how, if you do then ignore all this. It's not in the actual game folder, it's a common outside directory for games and other software's saves and settings and such so that they don't get accidently wiped For some reason it's a hidden folder by default, so even if you know the directory you can't navigate to it without using a command or changing a setting. There's two popular ways to get there, I'd recommend doing the first, it's takes a little bit of setup but it's not complicated, and makes it ridiculously easy to access in the future but 2 is effectively instant and easy too:
Option 1: Open file explorer, go to the "View" tab at the top, and on the far right of the tool bar that opens, there will be an options panel. Open the options, and go to the "view" tab in the new window that pops up. 6 option down *should* be "Hidden files and folders"- select "show hidden files, folders, and drives", hit apply, and close the options. After this, you can navigate to the appdata manually quite easily and pin it to the quick access bar on the left. Simply open the drive windows is installed on in file explorer, and go to Users>(your username)>AppData (it will be grayed out to show its normally hidden, but is now shown and accessible.) Right click it and near the top should be "pin to quick access", and you can now instantly access it from the left any time you're in file explorer.
Option 2: Simply type %appdata% in the windows search/cortana bar and hit enter- This will take you to the WRONG folder for some reason, not actually the appdata folder, but it is within the appdata folder, so you can simply click "appdata" from the navigation chain in the address bar, or hit the up arrow beside the address bar (the shortcut is alt+up if you want to do it even faster)
From there it's as we said, there should be all your folders for saves and assets and such in appdata>local>votv
If you knew all of this and running the game as admin did not fix the issue, it's definitely a bug, but you can probably build the folders yourself, they're not super complicated and there's no special files in them that wouldn't already be generated for the game to even be able to run.
welp, guys, what if my posters are not working? Like, im put all png's i wanted in "posters" folder, but there is basic poster, not custom one. And if im trying to use it, nothing works.
definitely a bug, a large object like a mannequin or curtain or pallet should give numerous trash piles each
i have reinstalled the game, and it is working now, thank you for letting me know it was an actual issue!
Had the same issue. Is there a way for players to force bad sun to re-trigger while the next update cooks? Also the wisps don't seem to despawn during the day, not sure if that is intended since the mode description implies they should only be around at night. Though kinda hoping it's supposed to be like this, making a mad dash for a shaded part of the roof when one came for a visit was a fun moment.
Press whatever you have bound to open the inventory MENU and it should restore items, that fixes it for me at least. And spawning in facing directly north is always how I've spawned, even before 0.7, so I don't think its a bug personally, but maybe it is.
turn on the funni, dum (it's an actual setting so you can turn off silly easter eggs and such to make the game more serious)
Upon leaving the inner part of the cave, fell out of the map for seemingly no reason, while getting the ATV missing warning. Fell for a few minutes before pressing "." to teleport to base; had Autosave on so the game saved in this state. ALL objects are gone from the ENTIRE map, nothing remained, including all of the servers, main room consoles, meat from the meat room in the basement, event related objects, etc. All of the trash and grime, as well as chunks of meat on the roof, got reset. Later decided to check with debug camera if there's anything beneath the map(to see if maybe everything fell under the map like I did), instead found the purple crystal from the inner cave which isn't present on other savefiles. So I assume that the game saved the objects from the inner cave and then imported them onto the main location, causing everything to disappear(maybe not? I don't know really).
So uh, is there a way to fix this? It's my main savefile so I really hope there's some way. Doubt it, but I will cope until the end.
Lads, What do i do if my Posters, paintings, stickers dont work? They are just basics or they have no texture.
Weird radar issue.
I have 4 cameras set up at every Dish, 4 on the Tower, and 2 at each of the 3 transformers. (4*24+4+3*2 = 106 cameras)
With the player and and the ATV, I should have a total of 108 pinging radar entities.
However, the cameras set up at Foxtrot and Uniform pop into and out the radar.
I removed the cameras at Foxtrot and Uniform and now the radar entity count stay steady aside from a deer wondering in and out of range near Victor.
.......As I say that, I try collecting the drives from around the Processor slot, save, reload, then it works. Leaving this up for anyone else who encounters this issue.
In Solar Mode did not recieve the daily task tried it 3-4 times to confirm the issue still not got the task Idk if it is a feature or not but I thought I report it anyway
When i try to play the game on my school laptop it says fatal error and nothing else.
It loads into the menu but when I hit tutorial and play it just loads for a few seconds and then it crashes
Well, somehow im downoloaded it, but, why is there no folders for images for custom paints, also there is no folders for sounds for radio. How i can fix that? 
This error message appears whenever I try to run the game, does anyone have a fix?
