what does the beacon do in 6.2 'Erin' ?

(+1)

You can change the range of your bots. 

do you think you can add fighting robots and enemies that will try to steal stuff?

how about more things to make first.  different wood types, different metal types, and more food. 

How to open crafting menu? Im going crazy to figure it out!!!

I downloaded the game to my 32 bit windows. The symbol of unity appears but the game screen does not. But he is there because when I click on the screen I hear the character walking. Please help me I want to play this game I the windowned mode no work

Developer

Ok it's possibly your video card. Can you send me Autonauts_Data/output_log.txt (in your install folder) please and I'll see if i can figure out what's wrong?

(2 edits)
Right but I can only play Friday or Saturday when it's between these days I'll send you a message and I'll txt you

Where do I get a bug report? 

 anyways  I found a bug. This 'Version is 7.1 faye'  They don't  have a name.  Some robots do not work so I pressed the space bar to command check. and they don't have a name. Anyway they are work well now.

Developer

Yep I've seen a few people report this bug. Do you have a bot that makes bots?

oh you know this bug 
yes unnamed bot is make bot
anyway i don't care bot's name 
Thank you for read my report

What does a converter do? I've seen it in patch notes, but it confused me.

Developer(+1)

A 'converter' is just our word for any kind of building that takes ingredients and turns them into something else (the workbench for instance).

how do i change my characters look?

Developer(+2)

We've not added that yet but it's something we'll be adding later. You can, however, give it a hat :)

thx :D

Denki how can I talk to you to try to solve my black screen problem that is when the game starts and that window mode does not work

Developer

If you join our Discord server you can speak to me directly. 

What version are you using? There was a fix for the black screen problem in Version 7.

i personally think that the seedling tray should be put back to the old way 1 seedling= 1 tree because at the start you NEED wood and a lot of it to get you going, but if you cut down every tree the solution plant them. First you have to shovel out the dirt build a seedling tray and go plant it wait for it to grow its better than having PART 1

15 seeds and 5 fertilizer anyway trees only drop 2 SEEDS you will really have to go through a lot of effort by yourself just to get that one tree planted. so instead i think it should be 1 seed and 1 water= a tree and the fertilizer should be used to speed up the growth of ready planted trees. and when you think about it its more piratical it does't rain yet and planted DON'T need fertilizer to get the minerals its already in the soil but they need water as well. PART 2 anyway i love the game but this is just something that bugs me, thankyou

you dont need to use the seedling tray.  1 seedling in 1 hole = tree.

oh thx i was just kinda confused after getting the latest version

What advantage does the Seedling Tray give compared to just planting a tree seed from the chopped tree?

Seedling from the tray grow faster

How to load the old version data in the new version?After download the version 7,i cant load my old data from version 6

Developer

You can find your old save files in %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Denki\Autonauts

what are the little baby guys you can find around the map for

(1 edit)

They're called Natives and they're not used for anything yet. Right now, you can challenge yourself and try to make as many as you can happy at once. You add them to your population by constructing a hut and placing them in one, after which you must have them regularly fed. You can feed them foods as basic as apples, or prepare entire apple pies for them. The totem pole doesn't do anything to their happiness yet, nor does putting cute, little hats on them.

I think the creators have plans to make them useful for the future, but we probably need to wait until this game gets out of pre-pre-pre-alpha.

WHERE ARE APPLES

On the western island, build a bridge to there.

Very nice game !!

Deleted 1 year ago

Put it in your inventory

If I buy it on Itch would I need to buy it again to get a Steam key?

Wait, this game's on steam?

No, but I assume it will be eventually

Developer

You can't really "buy" the game yet. It's entirely free. However we do accept donations :)

We won't be going to Steam for some time because the game is so early in development. 

Thanks

Hey Denki :) Ich played your new Version (9) today and i found a realy crazy Bug :D

So if you go to the End of the Map and place there a Storage or something else, it will disappear and there will be shown some placement-arrows and then u cant save your Game anymore.

Greets, Seb (from Germany) :)

Developer

Yep that's a known bug but thanks for reporting.

What's the point of mining a boulder when we can just mine the metal deposits around them which give more chance of metal than a boulder?

Developer

Yes the boulders need some re-balancing. At the moment boulders take half as long to mine, also there's no restriction on where the bot mines. They don't need an empty tile

can anyone help me with saving the game? When i go to save it just sits on the yes no screen. Ive tried multiple times and im not sure if i am just saving it in the wrong location or what?

Maybe check the post above you, and see if that's what happened.

no, when i get to the save game screen where it says yes/no, i press yes and nothing happens. but if i press no it will exit. im not sure what to do about this.

(1 edit)

the same thing happened to me on macOS when my disk was full

Developer

Ok I need to get some information about why this has failed. Can you play the game and try and save again please and then send me a file called Autonauts_Data/output_log.txt in the place where the game is installed and I'll see if it has any useful information for me please?

Thanks

Is there any way that you could help guide me through just a little bit as to where it is that i am supposed to find this file, I seem to be having a little bit of trouble locating it. Im sure its just user error not understanding how to get there.

Developer

If you're on PC look in the folder where you've installed the game and there should be another folder called Autonauts_Data. Inside that is output_log.txt. If you're on Mac it's something like ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log.

(1 edit)

so i found the library and logs section but from there i am left with this, and yes i am running on Mac OS. I apologize for this trouble i am not the best with rummaging through files.

I figured out what was wrong with my game! Im not sure if it was user error or what but either way Waity5 shower me where the game was supposed to ask to save and i went there instead. Thank you for trying to help though it was very appreciated. 


When i would try to save the game it would automatically take me  to the game elements instead of asking where on to computer to store it. All is good now thank you for the help! :)

Developer

Ok that's great that you've figured it out. When you say "it would automatically take me to the game elements" which folder did you mean?

it couldnt be that cause ive got a nice 25 gig free

do you use windows, macOS or linux?

i am using macOS

when you save it should look like this:

tell me if it is different 

Ah ha!! I got it thank you so much!! When i went to save the game it was taking me to the wrong save location, that is why it wasnt letting me do it. I went to the desktop and sure enough there is a save .txt there now!

(1 edit)

lol

i was taking screenshots on my windows PC not on my mac laptop because i knew the are the same

Is there somewhere to make suggestions? If not you should add a feature to rename,  search and call certain robots just to make selecting them easier. 

also re-naming data storage

Developer

Yep we'll definitely be adding renaming at some point.

You can make suggestions here on the Autonauts Community or you can join our Discord server.

Thanks!

I don't fully understand discord, can someone tell me how it works plz?

Developer

Have you tried joining ours? It's pretty simple. It's just a way of talking with other people in real time.
