I think that is only if the permanent season option is active.

The AI module is in the safe at the bottom of the lake unless you have gotten it previously then you can buy it in the shop.

I think it is the ball lighting orb thing. Some events happen even in ambience mode, and it's been this way since the beginning so either it is meant to be that way or more likely the dev has not prioritized ambience mode much yet.

They do be watching you, but the mic is for the video camera item i think. Apparently it can record you voice for in game videos.

Are you playing on Linux? I don't think the tv works the same as on windows and there is some extra steps to get it working i think. I did a quick google and try putting this in the launch options if you are:

WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1 %command%

You're probably hungry or maybe accidently pushing the ragdoll button, haha

This sounds similar to the old basement from like pre 7.0 (an older version of the game) where it was a never ending(?) tunnel under the base that had creepy sounds that played and could only be accessed at 12:00 or 3:33 or something. It might have some cool stuff but could also still be a work in progress. I think in the old tunnel anything that was left inside of it would be broken or despawn.

I just did some googling and i was combining the nuclear orange and the yellow argemia. Lol but one of the shrimps is placed in the RESTRICTED area but it is still up against the corner of the fence. But i googled the yellow and the votv wiki is the most up to date and says: 

"Spawn Condition(s):

- Place shrimps packs at all four corners of the perimeter fence, then place one on the drain in the basement of Alpha Root Base. Finally, be present in the basement between 00:00 and 01:00, stand a small distance away, and look away and up.

Location(s):

- All four corners of the perimeter fence enclosing the map (the fence extends into the restricted area)

- The basement of Alpha Root Base

Requirement(s):

- Playing on Story or Infinite mode

- Five Shrimps Packs

- Be present in the basement of the base between 00:00 and 01:00"

apparently how you drop them matters too as you must drop them from the inventory and then drag them to the drop spots so you can't drop them from your hand. Also the wiki says to place the 4 at the fences and then place the last one on the basement drain between 0:00 and 1:00 then step back, turn around and look up so the drain is opposite from where the player is looking. If all is done correctly that SHOULD spawn it but apparently a lot of people have problems with this one. Also the Arirals will eat shrimp packs that are left out after Day 12 (not sure if this date is still accurate) if players don't already have loyal reputation so it's possible the shrimp packs you leave in the corners are being eaten before you can finish the ritual. You could turn on rep debug and watch for the rep increase pop up while doing the steps to make sure that isn't happening.

AI module is only available after you have gotten it in game from the safe in the lake. And i think the hacksaw is in tools, you could also use the search bar to find it.

I'm pretty sure the shrimps are supposed to be at the edge of the map, not the edge of the fence. You should be able to hop the fence and then you place the shrimps against the red flashing barrier, not the fence. At least i think that's how i remember it is done.

VotV reddit answer

I believe that is the nvidia overlay, you can get rid of it by pressing alt+r also try pressing alt+z and messing with settings. you can change the hotkeys so that way you don't accidently push it again.

I like how you call me out on penmanship and then proceed to capitalize every other word for no reason, as well as misquoting my comment. And yeah, it was meant to be passive aggressive lol I'm glad you picked up on that. You can keep commenting on every other comment with nothing of use though. I don't feel like replying to your other dumb arguements so have a good one dude.

Wow, thanks for the insightful input. If he was joking, it wasn't very obvious.

This happened to me pretty often, whenever it does i would just quit to menu and load the save and it would fix.

It pretty obviously is a bug.

Same goes for deactivating the nvidia functions bro. 

Not sure what exactly your point is, that's what i said. Don't use the launcher, so therefore download through the itch.io website or votv website and extract it. I don't think 7zip is actually necessary anymore.

I'm pretty sure this has been in the game for a while, I have never seen it personally but i do remember finding a blood stain there and wondering where it came from. And it does seem to be Skerfur or whatever it's name is. There is a few spots you can see it.

Bro the game barely runs well on great computers, i would be very surprised if it ever comes to android. Not to mention the controls would be nearly impossible to port to touch.

You shouldn't be downloading the game through the itch.io launcher or whatever it is, if you are. The game is incompatible with it, and while it might've worked on the last version, the home page of the game says to use 7zip to extract the game. 

It's been reported that this happens, supposedly it has something to do with a debug setting still enabled that causes the towers to blow a fuse when you push the alt key, which is kind of stupid. LOL

Regenerate sav.data or whatever in the options.

That's weird my save data and custom content folders are all located in the same folder which is "C:\Users\"myname"\AppData\Local\VotV". It has always been this way as well at least as long as i have played the game which is about a year. I think you can set your own custom content file path in-game in the settings.

Just download the game and unzip it using 7zip? Why do you guys need a launcher??

I think it says it in the flashlight description but true.

The flashlight mode was added in the last update i think, it used to be alt + f i believe.

If you're playing on the 9.0 build then try holding r i think the hold and press options are flipped and can be swapped in the settings.

You never bring a satellite to you and i'm not aware of a command to do that. If you're not sure how to set your compass to a satellite dish then all you have to type is "sv.target echo" if you want to go to echo and so on.

Setting the render quality to zero is not recommended, and it has always made the text and stuff very hard to read.

Good to know, definitely could use some more direct instructions. Lol

You have to make it from the pink triangle to the red x, although it looks like that particular puzzle is not completable because the x is blocked. i think retrying it will give a different pattern.

You should learn some computer literacy to keep from sounding like an idiot on the internet.

Why are you using a shimloader with no mods? Afaik the whole point of shimloader is to allow you to mod the game.

You most likely fell out of bounds when you ragdolled in the corner and you will always crash when falling out of bounds in tutorial, it's sort of like an anti cheat for all the secrets in the tutorial that hopefully haven't been removed in the new version, seeing as i couldn't find a way to open secret areas and stuff. 

What does the crash report, if you get one, say? Does the game crash when you launch it or after running the game for a while, if it's the latter then it i most likely because of ram shortage or something similar. Try lowering the visual settings, as even really good pc's will have trouble running this game usually, especially after the new update.

Try looking up a tutorial, the game is supposed to explain in the email, but i never got an email. So i looked up a tutorial on how to do it.

Okay, you found the one way you can. I tried doing it multiple times after realizing the tutorial was shit and it kept teleporting me.

You can't just skip ahead in the tutorial, the game teleports you to whatever step your on and says to complete the task.

Ah, yes the quintessential modifier key for pc's is SO unintuitive.
