How would I update the game but still have my saved world? Or would I have to reinstall the game?

how do i download the game for windows? a 7zip file thingy pops up

(+1)

right click the .zip file and goto the open with option, after that click on file explorer. When your done select both the folder and the application and right click again, you should have an option to extract the files. After that you can either continue or select a certain destination for the files good luck :)

How do you make a metal saw. Please help.

metal workbench, 2 metal and 1 stone

 i think i will have a nice village but the robots need to have a little more power or some type of battery to add more power to their power suply

You can set  a robot to recharge others, so you will only have to worry about one.

i know im doing that with 2 recharge robots so if one dies then it can get recharged by the other one and vise versa

how do we make a cereal farm?

(2 edits)

Answered that in thedude646's question below.

I've been having problems with mine because of cereal crops that won't turn into cereal. (Bots keep mining them -> no cereal gains)
It's a similar problem as the one with the trees,

Hope I can fix it..

What are those mallets for, and how do I use those scooters.

(1 edit)

How do I use those scooters?
After making one just put it in your inventory by pressing "Q".

Does it also work on robots you may ask.
I haven't tested it very well but from what I could tell there wasn't a noticeable differents between with or without, the only thing that's different is the sound (the robot won't ride it, it just makes the sound)

About the mallets.
You need 1 wooden mallet to build a totem.

what is fertilizer for?

(4 edits)

I'm still testing the farming aspect of the game but this is what I found out until now:

Fertilizing:
First you need to go to a cereal crop field, there you will find weed which you want to dig. The weed becomes weeded soil, now you can fertilize it and it becomes soil.

Weed:
Weed will grow back on weeded soil, but it won't on soil

Cereal:
If you get cereal from a cereal crop the ground will turn into either weeded soil (not fertilized) or back to soil (fertilized).
Found out that there's no differents in planting cereal seeds in weed, weeded soil or soil, only the hight of the cereal crop varies, which doens't effect the amount that you get from it.

Cereal seed:
You get 2 cereal seeds from 1 cereal in the cereal seeder (I think the cereal seeder is a little bit to slow for getting only 2, maybe it's just the crude version of it).

I have a feeling the better you grow your crops in the future, the more you get per crop. i.e. fertilizing and tilling = 3 or so cereal maybe?

build a bunch

One question, what is the totem used for? I haven't built one, but I will tomorrow.

Developer

At the moment nothing, but in future versions it will provide happiness for Folk.

Maybe it can do magic things, or let you hire Folk to work like worker bots for money, or something else entirely.

Are you going to put a multiplayer engine in the game?

is there a way to automate the bots to use the tools in their inventory, without having to do it manually? 

From what I can tell there isn't, hope it will be implemented soon.

Yes if you have tools for them to grab you can program them to pick them up when theirs breaks here's the programming (sorry for the bad quality, I'm getting a new computer soon)

how do i get metal/ metal saws?

(1 edit)

Metal:

  1. Build a clay furnace
  2. Get charcoal by putting 2 logs in the furnace
  3. Get metal ore by mining
  4. Turn the furnace from charcoal to metal
  5. Put the charcoal and metal ore in the furnace

Metal saw blade:

  1. Build a metal workbench
  2. Get 4 metal from doing the above
  3. Put them into the workbench for 2 metal plates
  4. Get 1 stone by mining/gathering
  5. Now you can make a metal saw blade in the workbench

how do i craft gears

Gears are crafted in the wood router, the crude ones are crafted in the basic workbench

How do i use the crude saw bench  i tried LMB it wont work

left klick opens the recipies of the crude saw. (log to planks, Planks to poles)

depending wich recipie is selected you need to have at least one Log or Plank in your hand and then rightclick the saw.

is there any way to make your workers get an axe or a shovel after it is broken

Yes. You make them do thing in a cycle of Repeat with "until hand is empty", and then put instructions to grab a tool from storage after the cycle. Then put Forever around it all and presto.

Of course also get a robot making tools for endless cycle.

and how do you utilize the 'until hand is empty' command?

Deleted 3 years ago

remove weed with a shovel

So I just wanted to start the Game and Looked into Input and saw this Cheats Options ,now my question is why is it there and why cant I use it?

I was wondering the same thing

Developer

Nothing to see here. Move along.

(+1)

it is so the developers can just cheat through the game to fix bugs and test new things they are working on.

oooooowww yea sure

yeah I made a post about this and Denki told me this.

crude scooter what dose it do

If you put it into your inventory, it will make you move faster

There is an exploit by using fence blueprints :)
