Post all bugs you find here
An open world, base-building, adventure survival game with quirky humor and Llamas! · By
Thank you for your interest. More is coming for sure. I am working on some behind the scene things like missions and event spawning right now so nothing I can really update with until those systems are in place. I've already have an idea for stealth mechanics. I will probably be like nothing you've seen before :)
Yeah some items are like multi purpose items. Milk for example gives you 1 water and 1 meat (protein). Crystals give you electronics. They are suppose to give you more then one but they only give one right now. They are planned for high end rewards. I had at one time a much larger item list but decided to simplify it down.
When I did the tutorial, I got ahead of it in several places which caused some issues, for example when it told me to go do one thing, I would start on another (multitasking) like collecting seeds while collecting wood for example, I gathered too much and later when it asked me to go collect seeds it wanted new seeds, not counting the ones I'd already done, this can cause issues with getting stuck and slowing down the game significantly. :)
I got this on an older computer I had. Try updating direct X drivers.

you can't build wood, stone floor/ blue,green,red rug on North-West/West/North tile of an existing floor
you can still build Rugs around wood, stone floor though, and vise versa,
but new banned zone will appear as well..
you can't build painting/ wall torch/wall light on the banned zone created by Rug floor
Metal floor, farm plot, stone path seems fine, no such problem (the floors in dev section are fine)
wall banner, wood shelf show red background when you tried to build them on any wall/window/door, but you can still build them
weapon workbench, car station can not be flipped, when you try to flip them, the preview image show them flipped.
but when you actually built them, it doesn't get flipped.
(weapon workbench does have image_xscale set to -1.000000 though but car station doesn't)
and the preview image of flipped car station is kinda off...
also, the weapon spawn zone may get blocked by obstacles,
unlike the car station, it doesn't show red background when the spawn point blocked by something
photocell, volt meter, switch, small battery and the farming, lumberjack, ranching robot don't have collision box
after you built the flipped robots, the starting position of the robots are kinda off
the image of flipped solar panel is kinda off, doesn't match the collision box
Great Work! Love it :)
The whip is suppose to be used on animals to heard them. It should not hurt them.
Grenades don't do damage to anything but enemies. I just didn't get around to fixing it for other things.
I made it so baby animals are invincible.
Llama might also be invincible? I kept killing mine on accident so I turned it off. I'll add it back some other time.
I think I actually still have the Llama breeding in the game. If two llamas are next to a nest they make babies. HaHa. I planned on implementing that for other animals just got busy making other things.

shotgun blast works! (tested in normal mode)

it might cause performance issue... especially when you can't kill them

Did you install the link? It isn't a directX version but a runtime for an older version of directX that they took out of Windows 10. At least that is what I think it is lol.

Seems like you had a chicken outside of the screen. The animals now die if they are loaded outside the base.
I haven't noticed any campmate amount changes. The base value changed by 1 when I tested it. I'll test some more though.
Your base is stressing my work computer (not very good PC) pretty heavily (how many farms do you have!?). What is your frame rate on your computer in the base? Anyway I'll probably use your base as a stress test and see if I can improve performance.
CampMates I know can't. Livestock I will look into. Maybe just have them not be saved if they wander away.
This is a known issue for some. It is probably the script I wrote for maximizing the screen. Pretty low on my bug fix list though :)
Hello, here are a bunch of bugs that i've came across recently :)
1. Placing objects that are adding more than 1 point to "base attractiveness" factor and then removing them - doesn't subtracts their worth from that total attractiveness amount. From what i noticed it works on things like any kind of wall, floor, window, door and painting (anything that is worth more than 1 point apparently). Basically if a simple wood wall adds 2 points, removing it takes away only one point so it's possible to endlessly grow "base attractiveness" by quickly placing/removing it over and over:
https://streamable.com/91ems
Looks like restarting the whole game reverts this unfairly obtained amount of additional base attractiveness points to what it should be (removes the points that were added through that bug).
2. While exploring on llamas, members of the "party" have some strange isssues with getting back on them once they get off. It's quite random, but from what i've seen - every time i get off and back on my llama - either one or several of my followers are just standing in front of theirs and even when some llama starts walking around - its owner just slowly follows it around instead of hopping back right on it. Giving that party member a little push towards his llama makes him mount it again.
https://streamable.com/lzh1u
3. When my followers are riding on those llamas - whenever we came across some hostiles - instead of attacking, they just rushing to them and do nothing while the enemy proceeds to attack them. Not sure if that's important, but all my followers were equipped with pistols when i noticed that. It would be soo cool if they were able to shoot while riding those llamas like some lil cowboys heh :D
4. When i got back to my base from such exploring on llamas - just like my followers - they spawned next to me and when i restarted the game - all those llamas vanished from my base area. I'm not sure if that's intended or not.
5. From time to time it happens that various encounters with hostiles occur close to that "striped-exiting" area. Since stepping on it throws the player back into traveling screen - it's nearly impossible to loot anything that dies on that striped space. Several times i had my followers auto-rush some enemies there, then few of them went down/lost the fight and i was unable to revive them since i would just exit the map if i stepped out there.
Maybe instead of throwing the player right back to that traveling screen - the game could just ask "to exit the map press y" or something like that when we step on that striped area? Or maybe even some skills that buying them would allow our followers to do basic tasks like looting anything in their vicinity or reviving their companions?
6. People that are joining my base are sometimes getting stuck inside livestock enclosures. Looks like they're spawning there (and are unable to open/close gates/doors) whenever i restart the game or exit/reenter my base area. Maybe they could be respawning at their beds whenever the game notices that they're stuck?
Here's my CAMP.ini file just in case:

PS
Some auto-refilling mechanic for wood burners would be awesome to have :D
Btw, i frickin fell in love with this game, its specific calming/chill gameplay style and wacky humor, it has really great potential. I'm getting Rimworld vibes from playing it and i'm excited as heck about future updates. Regards :)
Awesome bug finds! I guess I've ignored the llama mounts in my testing. I'll put these on my list!
#5 I used to have it where your guys revived each other and harvested resource nodes. I took it out when I was improving the AI and just never put it back in. It is actually pretty helpful. I like the idea of having that as an upgrade.
Bug fixed. It was because I was fixing an issue with them getting stuck. I will be redoing NPCs soon, lots more options and they will have to reload and might run if they are overwhelmed. Basically making them more realistic and more interactive.
Several more bugs and glitches i've noticed, though some of them might be considered as nitpicking ^^. I'm not sure if this matters, but i'm playing on V23 with a world started on V22.
1. Milking cows seems bugged. Neither me nor auto-ranchers are able to collect milk from them. Rancher just hovers above each cow for a bit and then leaves. When i'm pressing E to milk them, no milk pops out nor any food is being added to meat stockpile. The outline/option to milk on each cow just disappears after pressing E key several times (like the game thinks that this certain cow is fully milked out at that point).
2. Often when followers are getting off their llamas, it takes them like ~2-3 seconds before they begin attacking hostiles in their vicinity. Also, when i get back on my llama - they hop in on theirs in turns kinda. For example half of the team gets on their llamas without any issues straight away, but sometimes 2-4 folks are approaching one to mount it, one does it and the rest are giving him that look "Oi, d-did you just took my llama?" for a sec then the 3 remaining pawns are heading to the next free llama, one mounts it and the other 2 again are staring at it for a sec before moving towards the next free llama and so on. Hmmm maybe once the player hops on a llama - the followers could be quickly looking for the one closest to them to mount, but in a way that each pawn would be straight away auto-assigned to a different one (something with taking distance between the pawns and llamas into consideration)?
3. Followers are sometimes getting stuck behind chests that are close to the walls, but usually when i leave to keep searching through the area - a while later such stuck pawn somehow frees himself and comes back.
4. Window blocks appear to not have fitting texture when they're placed in cornes. Like here, the wall block on the right nicely blends in with that darker/shadowed horizontal texture while the window block on the left looks a bit out of place. Maybe additionally the game could be removing that lighter-grey tiny window vertical stripe from a window block whenever there's another block "sticked" to it either on the left or right? It would nicely blend with other blocks made from the same material. Well... tbh now i'm just like "Why did i even placed that window block in such corner? Ugh oh, like... who's even gonna look through window placed like that ^^"
1. See if you are at max meat or max water. It is possible that the ranching bot milks them but because you are at max of one or the other it doesn't generate the milk (1 water 1 meat). I'll check myself they should see that the storage is maxed and not even milk them. I should probably just switch milk to be meat only. It would probably fix this issue.
2. Yeah I added a delay for checking targets on NPCs. I forgot to add an auto check for mounts if their mount is taken. I'll recheck that code and modify it.
3. They path finding is silly sometimes. That is something I am constantly trying to improve.
4. Who would put windows in corners?! lol I'll just default them to normal walls if that happens :)
Hmmm i just checked again and milking still appears to be not working for me even when my meat/water stockpile isn't full. Dunno what the heck is going on, frickin cows probably realized what this tricky business with keeping them locked is all about and just didn't had any of that. Either they got somehow smarter from some mutation (i would totally blame radiation) or "He Who Codes" might have something to do with it. Some secret cow-spiracy or something, next thing they will demand independency i bet...
Could be, because i'm playing on V23 with a world started in V22?
Here's my whole save file/Sand_Alpha folder from AppData/Local just in case:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6t1yn66zfuibw2z/Sand_Alpha.rar?dl=0
As for windows in corners - i just like living dangerously on the edge like a total rebel :D
I think I figured the problem. When I consolidated the sprites I forgot to add in the milk sprite, which should give you an error but I coded a fail safe into the resource object to destroy itself if it can't find it's sprite. Over coded that one :)
I added an error message to myself so I can see if it happens again. Cows should be milk-able soon.
I'll check on this. I've been playing around with pathing and AI I bet I just borked (technical term) something up.
Oh I remember this now. I took off the feature where they would go and target fallen comrades, but I left in the revive if near code :)
I tried a bit of exploring on V24 and ran into this:
The door at the top got somehow blocked by that fence and there's a gate inside the wall. It's like the game tried to spawn 2 points of interest in the same spot? Haven't seen any such bug while playing on those few previous game builds while exploring. Since my pawns decided to murder that pesky lil fella inside that building - i coudn't interrupt them in any other way than leaving the map. In this fierce battle with those wooden walls - (besides me) only two followers managed to mount llamas and i had to abandon the other 4 llamas D: . It's just as the ancient saint texts say "He Who Codes giveth (milking cows i this case), and He Who Codes taketh away", though i don't even know what to think about such trade off/sacrifice...
Hmmm maybe some lil mechanic where after pressing a button, some small speech bubble would appear for a second above the character we're playing like he's calling/giving order to his followers to immediately stop what they're doing and come to him? On the other hand i'm not sure how often such feature would be useful other than on some rare occasions and such bugged situations (at least in the current version of the game).
Edit: even that frickin skelly lost it and went supersonic lol:
https://streamable.com/9sjm1
lol yep that is what happened. Looked like 2 random events spawned on each other. I am going to add 'behaviors' to the NPC's so they can defend, attack, follow, harvest etc.
Thanks! Feedback is always important and appreciated!
if i remember correctly, the first time it happened it was on Green Peace, the second time too, but this time i checked it before coming in the camping area, i set it to the red! but it still crashed. i didn't try the blue shield i'm gonna test it now (im gonna test the new version now) yup, in the new version it still happens unfortunatelly, i found out it doesn't happen when it's on the red!, only when it's on the green symbol, maybe they are trying to collect something that doesn't exist?
yes version 34 right? i'm sorry for reporting too many bugs but when i was trying to recreate it again the game crashed with this other one in the same place, i already had collected the iron and many items in that place and when we were fighting some enemies this happened.

The issue was with the peaceful AI Script when it couldn't find a resource and the player was hidden by interacting with something it threw an error because the targeting couldn't find an object. It should be fixed in the latest 0.3.2 version. It is very weird it didn't throw the correct error for you. When I ran it, it gave me the correct line number. Very odd, but it should work now.
I believe I was right clicking in build mode on an Egg? or Animal. I think I was trying to put the damn chicken back in the pen.... those lil-fuckers ;)
I am to lazy to build on my own feet that is why I do everything on a Llama even sleeping
Awesome! Absolutely loving this game so far. The overworld map takes me back to Fallout in a great way.
So I might just be blind and stupid, but this wiring is kicking my ass right now. I have the transformer by the generator plugged into the relay by this building, which looks like it is giving power to that switch, which should now allow me to open those doors with the switch. At least that's how i thought it worked from seeing the video about electrical stuff.
Am I missing something here, is this how its supposed to work, is the switch broken or am I just not getting how wiring should work?
1 st problem is in the picture second is that when I quit the game at the moment when I am dieing all of my things are gone
I have no clue but you need to fix thing where if you leave a game when your dying it resets ur base like removes ur progress
Gotcha. I'll look into it. By exit you mean just force close the game? or exiting through the ESC end game menu?
By super speedy I meant the game was happening faster. The time was ticking faster (and all things time related), the character was moving so fast I had trouble controlling it. Things like that. I'm not even sure now if that was what the 'FASTER' download was supposed to do, let alone the normal download like I'm talking about. It's interesting too because I watched a friend download the same version and theirs played at the proper pace so I'm really not certain what the problem was. Anyway, I redownloaded it after seeing you responded to check if you somehow fixed whatever the problem was and it seems like you did! So thank you for the quick fix!
The issue had to do with your monitor having a higher Hz monitor (96 Hz or 144 Hz) then the standard 60 Hz most people have. For some reason the settings I had to control frame rate didn't account correctly for the refresh rate of higher monitors. The only why I could test it was to actually lower the refresh rate of my monitor to 40 Hz. I noticed it was slower then normal game play. I switched some sync settings in Game Maker and found one that didn't slow the game down. Glad this worked!
The FASTER download is suppose to run faster if you are noticing some slow game play (only useful for older computers). The reason it isn't the standard game play is because it is more buggy and takes much longer to compile.
Please try this fix: https://itch.io/t/442958/fatal-error-in-vertex-shader-compilation-solved
Latest version as shown (0.3.8) often (usually) has the mission tracking shown as bugged upon game load ("Mission 1 of 0") preventing completion of acquired missions. Resetting/deleting may help temporarily but the bug returns upon next save/load and forces one to redo all the prior missions.
Also, slightly less important, there seems to be no way to clean up the corpse of the person by the E.D.I.E beside waiting till they disappear on their own. Maybe being able to search them like corpses of enemy dead sentients could be provided?
FOUND THE PROBLEM. My goodness thank you for finding that bug. I can't believe I didn't see this one. I guess I've been focused on art and level building and not playing the game. Extra credit for you! :) Patch later today with a dev log explaining the issue. I think your mission data is safe though so that is good.
Thank you kindly for your swift response. I just checked the page again ready to look for the ini file but if it's already not needed, all the more thanks to you.
I'm having an unwanted decorative living fossil in my house. What should I do now?
Beds allow infinite cloning when used before nighttime.
** Some bugs related to animals: **
- Llamas can completely prevent you from building when ridden on.
- Their incredibly thin body and high speed makes them extremely good at playing hide and seek.
- Woolies are obsessed with livestock guards sometimes.
- Also, I think that signs should appear in front of walls
Some time passed since my last bug report so I think it's good to put it in the new post (I do hope though that the previous one was checked since I added to it before through edits and I worry slightly whatever was added then may have passed under the radar).
I notice the assets are a lot bigger - the dev mentioned that themselves - making the game bigger. However, for some reasons it's also very noticeably slower for me, as if the game would keep processing bigger assets all the time instead of any preloading. Upon entering map I have over 100 FPS according to the counter, but soon it all goes down to circa 30-15, with the only exception being the home town for some reason, where the FPS is relatively consistent or at least decent enough to not notice strong slowdowns. The general increased game slowness also led to exploration map taking a time to drop loading screen for the first time and that in turn led to this issue:
Happened upon loading random exploration map. The loading was left there and wasn't disappearing at all, the items carried were not shown either. Even leaving the map left it on the screen (while increasing its size) till another loading screen was triggered by entering elsewhere. Edit: Seems it's always happening at 94.34%
Other bugs:
So the wood burner produces electricity. I does not need to be hooked up to anything. You need to build a transformer and connect that up to a relay. The relay gives power to switches (in a radius around the relay) and switches give power to machines. I need t write a tutorial about that. I hope this helps. Relays can also be hooked together to distribute power different places.
So, should I just built the transformer near the woodburner? I did that and hooked it to the relay, then i tried to hook the relay up to the switch (transformer>relay>switch>electric well), but the relay doesn't connect to the switch. I can't conect it to the electrical well and connecting it switch>releay also doesn't do anything.
ok. Heh, i thought that the circle shows the radious in which the cable can be connected.
Also, i have another question. I what intervals new NPCs arrive? I have 5 beds and only 2 NPCs are in my town. And what is that 3rd stat, the one under ammount of beds in your setelment? Is it related to how much food the town has?
The stat with the house is your base score the higher the score the more people will join. Base score is based on the amount and quality of things in your base. I havent balanced it yet though. Stone and metal buildings are worrh more then wood. Most of everything else is worth 1 (but will change later). Now the max npc population is 8 I probably need to adjust the rate on which people arrive. If you build it they will come.
I sure did! Was fun creating one. I couldn't continue the series though, my PC crashed and 2 months later got a new laptop (a gaming one at that) which is far more better then my old pc. I plan to make another episode soon... on another map though xd
Maybe it could be I just need to check for the time of the day somewhere I forgot to (fingers crossed)
yes i am working on completing missions. I think that task is the last one in that mission line. It is an error because it should clear itself.
I agree with all of these. What is your base score or could you send me your CAMP.ini? I should probably limit the amount of things people make. It isn't intended to have 1000 trees and 100 cows. You are meant to build more bases. I could fix this by capping the base score OR capping the things themselves. I think my new version has better frame rates so I'll push a build out today.
I make the campmates wait by you so you can change their jobs. I suppose the priority should be given to the current UI you are using. I'll see if I can fix that. I agree it is annoying.
Those darn chicken eggs... I swear I've 'fixed' that 10 times.
My base score is 3309. It could be all the cows that are in my pen. That was back when the cows would breed all willy nilly. I could try killing a bunch of 'em and see if that brings my frame rates back up. I also have a TON of bonfires that I used to light up my entire home base so that I could see in the dark when the raids come (because the little drone guy only lights up the path behind you when you're moving, so you can't see anything in front of you). However, the frame rates were low before I did that. I did that because I was bored and wanted something productive to do. But I'm sure it didn't help. The animations of the flames on the bonfire might be a bit taxing, I don't know. I think it would be interesting to have a cap on things themselves. Where a base can only consist of a certain amount of walls, and that gives incentive to actually build the wagon and go somewhere else when the base you're at now is too small for what you want. Maybe you can only have a certain number of cows on a base, chickens, things like that. I think that would be a good idea. Good thinking!
I don't know what you want from my CAMPSTARTER.ini but it's hundreds of lines long, and I'm sure you don't want it slapped into this reply. I'd make a spoiler or attach the file but I don't know how/or if you can.
The problem with the power is simply that you need much more than for solar panels to power five wells. Each solar panel only generates about 1 or so power and each well takes up like 2 or 3 power. Maybe even more but i'd have to test it. I've never had a problem with the power since I made like 20 solar panels. Alsofor the raids and stuff you can simply sleep at night while its happening or before it happens and it doesn't affect the timer at all. That is also another weird thing to me is that basically the night time doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. I'll create a post on that.
I can't find any other way to get the other types of cars. Is there not an option or am I just being dumb?
