itch.io

thanks!

cool, i'm glad you were able to figure it out!

On second though it seems like this game is currently balanced around the faction that can increase its network range with stations.  As the colonize-everything faction, after 2 restarts I have yet to be able to colonize a single planet.  I have never started with another planet in range and in one of the games I didn't get the 2nd +network range after getting 2 techs in each category, and the nearest planet was further than that.  also my tech tree is all gunked up with terraforming options which are useless to me (they should be removed for this faction)

edit: alas, with one more restart i was able to get planets in range and colonize for the first time!

Map generation had me start with the nearest non-gasgiant planet 3 places away, and the nearest undefended non-gasgiant planet 4 or 5 spaces away.  You might want to update that algorithm because this particular run is more or less dead on arrival

An anomaly allowed me to build a -1Gas/+1Energy station for free.  It allowed me to place it outside of my network, where it is disconnected.  It now costs the Gas without providing the Energy.  I presume this is two bugs:

1) anomalies allow construction outside of network 

2) stations outside of network still cost resources without providing income

after expanding my network to cover it, the income starting coming in as expected

what's a wide house?  what's a huge house?

Windows version via Itch launcher gets stuck loading every time I try to play - it shows a black screen with a while horizontal bar (presumably a progress bar) at ~80% but never proceeds.

Any updates?

Perhaps I am missing something, but the volcano nearly immediately destroyed all my buildings rendering me income-less and unable to play.  Perhaps that's the point?

edit: i am a dumby and missed that you click fires to put them out

Looks like this was removed from the play store :(

I own this and can't install it via the Itch launcher

Clicking Install doesn't do anything

another commenter had a solution: you have to click&hold on the first campfire you find, otherwise it will crash

some QoL requests:

Disable killing while building: guys kept wandering under my cursor and offing themselves.  this was especially bad with the helmet guy you get after working on your main campfire for a while since he follows your cursor; i killed him almost immediately by accident

Big increase to walk speed for unimproved guys: it would help with the waiting

Build using nearest guys: sometimes a nearby guy would stand there while someone from across the map would walk over

Visual indication of special Trees/Rocks: it would be nice to know which Tree/Rock/etc will crease a house location, pickaxe, etc

A way to jump to nearest campfire: i left my cursor on the side of the screen by accident and scrolled really far.  then i couldn't find my camp

Ability to zoom out more

crashed at the very beginning as soon as i clicked the firepit

it wasn't possible to copy the text in the error message

agreed

mostly only frustrating because otherwise the game is really neat

had to start over with my progress, but that did work

Every time I install this with the itch.io launcher it doesn't work - it just prompts me to install it again.  Any idea why this is happening? on windows

How do I get the DLC if I already have the game?

How do shuttles work?  Mine just sits there (within 15 tiles of home base) "Waiting for crew" and won't go on a mission.  It has full fuel.  I'm trying to move it to be a mobile construction office to build the radio tower far away.

edit: okay, it finally left on the mission.  it landed next to the intended radio tower location.  the entrance to the shuttle and the entrance to the tower were not blocked.  the game complained that there is no route.  i have no idea what i'm supposed to do.

I have plenty of Air and Water, but my "air/water capacity of life support system" is bottoming out, and my colonists are dying.

How do I turn Air/Water into Air/Water supply?

edit:  this comes up in a later quest.  having this gated resulted in a lot of deaths.  i would like this to become available once its needed, not after its been needed for a long time.

Neat game!  One gripe-

It's really annoying that all Warriors all target the same enemy every time.  Spreading several Barracks over the map should mean that they split up sensibly, but they will instead run to the far end letting enemies right next to them destroy your base.

I'd just request that Warriors update their attack priority far more often

Bug(?): Melody Miestro goes into negative Strength

Bug?: If both characters have a stack of Mirror, the damage does not consume a stack of Mirror from both characters and double-reflect back to the intended target

Bug: the card (i think it is called "STOP") that only does damage if the previous card was "Spin" still does damage on turn 1, when there is no previous card

Anyone manage a win with Groove Oracle?  It seems like the hardest by far.  Insult to injury, when you fight another Groove Oracle they always seem to be The Guy She Told You Not To Worry About aka you but way way better.

Likewise, having an "Abandon" option would help mitigate frustration from doomed runs if, e.g., you are attempting to win with the Groove Oracle

this is a fun little game though!

You can always just open PDFs in your web browser of choice to bypass any issues

I find it difficult to tell what light level it is by the thing on the side.  Other than that, I am really enjoying the game!  Very cool

QoL request:  When picking up items in the inventory, please do not move them around until I put the item down.  It makes it awkward to deal with the inventory.  Please leave a blank space where I picked up an item until I place it somewhere.  The items keep moving around and confusing me.

Alternatively, when in the inventory, please let us right-click the item to see its description without picking it up.  

Cannot install via itch.io launcher; there appear to be no builds to choose for the "Install:" dropdown

Very cool, thank you!

It's hard to click the things that need to be dragged

Will you please add controller support?  It's so hard to hit the defense spell on keyboard when it would be dead simple on a controller

The timing for blocking is so weird.  I always feel like I hit it at the right time and take damage anyway.  I want to like the game but every damage I take feels cheap.  I've put many hours into the game so it's not inexperience.

oh hey!

I am so glad to have found it again.  It does something amazing with the combination of genre and mechanics that I wish more games would do.  Cheers

I appreciate the limited scope here, it feels like a proof of concept but it gets to some fun stuff.  I'd love to see an expansion of this general gameplay loop with limited base building and automating of bots while the player runs off on missions.  Very Slime Rancher minimal vibes.  Cheers!

Great!  This is a neat game

It feels like I never have enough.  I think there needs to be an option to start with enough resources to start your first town (like civ).  I think the resource spawning needs to be normalized so there's always what you need within x tiles.  It is a really really cool idea but how it plays out is always arbitrary.  Oh, and it shouldn't be possible to hang out near someone else's town and steal their stuff without spending a sword.

Playing as Samurai

I chose "Upgrade Item"

Upgrading the Katana makes it require more dice to use

There's no way to back out to choose something else

Skip Rewards doesn't work

Forced to end run there

It was a good run and I am sad
