Double clicking the title bar; it should resolve the issue. I'll have this fixed in the next update

[Linux] After clicking 'New game' main window is shown but nothing reacts to clicks

Could you create an SFX pack of satisfying click and tap sounds for clickers?

Yes, please  I’d love to donate and support you.

Is there an option to donate and receive a Steam key as a thank you?

• Begin by clicking to mine your first resources and hire workers.

• Then research T  you can open the Research tab from there.

• The Prestige tab is always available.

• You can also use the Command Center to access every tab in one place.

As you keep playing, you’ll unlock more tabs and upgrades. You can choose to focus on boosting click power, improving worker efficiency, getting better workers, and more.

Yes cyberpunk i would need some for my new game.

I wish you had made some cyberpunk hacker roguelike games.

If you want more languages added to the game, please post here!

Post any YouTube videos you find or create here. When I run across one I'll post them here as well. I like to give my streamers some love. I'll post your video on my Twitter if you let me know.

Post all your suggestions here. Absorber is constantly evolving and I love hearing feedback and suggestions on how to make the game better.

Post all bugs you find here

Love to see how far people are getting!  Tell me what did you in!

I added a little minigame base on your ideas to help smooth out some of the balance issues it's coming in the next update!

All good. Just keep it between us I haven’t encrypted it yet.;)

You found a bug I need to investigate it further. I also think the market unlock isn’t being saved.

Please share the save file so I can look into this further and resolve it.

Have you installed the new version update 0.9.25 yet?

Also, Basic Power Efficiency from the tech tree should help too. I’m already working on the localization fix I just forgot to add the string keys when I added it.

I added a new upgrade and noticed I’d missed its translation key upgrade_names.basic_energy_cell. 

You can find it in the Upgrade tab.

Basic Energy Cell: +0.5 energy regen

Energy Conduits: increases max energy by 100

You can open the Market UI with M.

Appreciate you reporting this. It’s a big help for making the game better.

Absolutely love this put it on Steam and it’s an instant buy from me. The music is a perfect fit as well!

Got it, I’m already working on it. I’ll remove that behavior and change it so the game only saves manually or after the player closes it.

Thanks for the feedback! 
What interval would you suggest?
There’s already an option to change the interval, and in the next update I can also add a setting so players can disable it completely.

What is Prestige?

Prestige (Quantum Reset) allows you to reset your progress in exchange for Quantum Points (QP), which provide permanent multipliers that persist across all future runs.

How are games saved?
Your progress is saved automatically when you exit the game, and you can also save manually at any time

The main goal is to reach 1000m and collect 50 crystals so you can reset your prestige, gain bonuses, and increase your click power!
I’m going to add more paths in the next update, each with different requirements.

Not yet, but I’m working on a guide and hint system. I’m also going to create a gameplay video where I showcase a bit of how to play.

No problem glad it’s working now. I forced the Windows build to use Vulkan by default, so it should run whenever Vulkan drivers are installed. It looks like an engine issue, but I’m hoping the next Bevy update addresses it more comprehensively.

Minimum Requirements

GPU Compatibility

Supported GPUs

NVIDIA

• GeForce GTX 600 series or newer (2012+)
• GeForce GTX 900 series or newer recommended (2014+)
• All RTX series GPUs fully supported

AMD

• Radeon HD 7000 series or newer (2012+)
• Radeon RX 400 series or newer recommended (2016+)
• All Radeon RX 5000/6000/7000 series fully supported

Intel

• Intel HD Graphics 500 series or newer (2016+)
• Intel Iris Xe Graphics (2020+) recommended
• All Arc series GPUs fully supported

Apple Silicon (macOS)

• M1, M2, M3 chips fully supported via MoltenVK
• Intel Macs with HD Graphics 500+ supported
  

I’ve also built a macOS .dmg: mount it, then double-click colony-deep-core to launch. You can also drag the app into any folder you like. I’m going to add an installer in the next update!

Tested on my Mac mini (M4, 16 GB RAM) running macOS Sequoia 15.5.

It seems the issue is due to missing Vulkan drivers. Could you update my graphics and Vulkan drivers, please?

Verify Vulkan on Windows

1) (Optional) Install Vulkan SDK

• Go to vulkan.lunarg.com and install the Windows SDK.

• This adds tools like vulkaninfo. (Many systems already have the Vulkan runtime via GPU drivers.)

2) Run vulkaninfo

• Open Start → Windows PowerShell (or Command Prompt).

• Run:

vulkaninfo 

If not found: run it via the SDK path (adjust version as installed):

"C:\VulkanSDK\1.3.x\Bin\vulkaninfo.exe" 

3) Interpret the output

• Working: You see GPU name(s) and a line like Vulkan Instance Version: 1.3.x.

• Not working: Errors (e.g., No Vulkan devices found) or tool missing.

4) Fix common issues

• Update GPU drivers (then reboot):

  • NVIDIA → GeForce Experience / NVIDIA driver installer

  • AMD → Adrenalin Software

  • Intel → Driver & Support Assistant

• PATH not set? Either re-run the installer or call the full path to vulkaninfo (see step 2).

• Laptop with iGPU + dGPU: In NVIDIA/AMD control panel, force apps to use the discrete GPU.

• Still failing: Reinstall the Vulkan SDK (Windows), then try vulkaninfo again.

Thank you for reporting the startup crash. I’m on it.

Linux build released(0.4.2). Verified on Pop!_OS. Please report any bugs or issues you encounter. 

Yes, I'm on it.

The last three day it feels really slow. 

Yes, I am working on it.
