Gather unknown signals from deep, silent space · By
When Kerfur-O is trapped in the meat hell you need to check all the windows in the base. It's not very well telegraphed, if at all, but when you look through the correct one you might catch an entity walking away from it and Kerfur-O will be returned to you. It's possible that the error is caused from scraping the event without completing it as intended.
I don't actually know if it is confirmed, but I think this is intentional for whatever reason. In an older version, clicking an email once caused you to get endlessly spammed with emails and no way to stop them, but after that was reported, doing it now just causes you to get one email per click instead of being completely removed.
Probably a glitch, there is supposed to be two posters at the ariral treehouse but they shouldn't be custom posters. One should spawn next to the fire as you have pictured, it looks like a tattered banner or something, and the other should be on the treehouse, it looks like a male ariral standing on a planet i think.
The tutorial has an anti-OOB system to prevent you from getting outside the map, crashing the game if you clip into a wall or outside the general playable area.
Hello! I started playing this game recently and am really enjoying myself! I began the story mode save on 0.8.2 and ran into an issue 16 days into the play-through. There were mannequins all over the ground, which to my understanding is intentional to some extent. What seems unintentional, is there's this floating mannequin who I can't hook or destroy by throwing my crowbar at them. No matter what I try I can't reach them, pull them down, or destroy them. (Though it is not explicitly in this screenshot, When I arrived there were mannequins all over the floor, with this one hovering over them)
I looked online as best as I could without spoiling myself to see if I could find someone replicating the issue, and I did find a reddit thread from about a year ago that shows the same issue here
UPDATE: So I replayed from a new save all the way to day 16, this time breaking all the mannequins I could find before they teleport. They similarly spawned in a pile in one location, but there were in fact a lot less of them and there was not a visible mannequin floating in the air this time. This leads me to assume either what you've said is true, and it's SUPPOSED to be in the air, and I've now encountered a bug where that doesn't happen, or that what I found originally IS a bug, and getting rid of extra mannequins removed the floating one.
Big black rectangle appears after being in the game for a certain amount of time, you can just avoid it by hopping on the base and it will leave eventually. It is meant to be a sign from the dev to "take a break" from the game. If you're unsatisfied with the amount of "enemies" so far, the game can be very uneventful for the first two-ish weeks. I typically use this time to clean the base and stockpile signal/points.
my radio tower disappeared a little before midnight, and a while after that I got an 'invalid event' popup. around 7am ingame after getting 3 signals of cameras pointed at the signal desk, the screen went black, I got the 'do not look in the locker' popup, and the game crashed with another 'invalid event' popup (I think maybe because I had a locker open already it auto triggered the event?). after reloading the save the tower is back and everything seems normal again, though the daily drive+MRE shipment didn't arrive even after the tower returned.
The tower disappearing is an event i'm pretty sure. And so is the crash from having the locker open.
It isn't actually a bug, nor is it (directly) fixed by resetting the transformers. There are a couple events with this effect on Kerfur-Omega, and they are often triggered and subsequently ended by going near a specific location, usually the main computer or a specific transformer.
Telling people to fix the transformers is just my spoiler-free way of directing them to the events, should they not make themselves obvious enough to get the player to go out there on their own. The events should cause the transformers to go down to lure you out there, but as far as I know, that might be bugged currently.
Anybody else been seeing a bunch of these weird "blank" plants around the map? they appear all over the place, look like just the little hillock of dry dirt from when you've planted a seed but forgot to water it:
...and they never grow into anything, no matter how long you wait. clicking "use" on them just makes them disappear with a THWAP sound and an error message:
радар скрыт, мб софт, а так я хз как пофиксить проблему, если можешь, мне брат показывал как удалять сейвы, типо откатить, однако я уже к сожалению не помню, попробуй в дате (appdata/local/votv/assets) там мб можжно поискать, просто удалишь последние два-три сейва и все, но опять же, ищи сам как удалять
I've heard the Itch.io launcher isn't compatible with this game, try downloading the game and putting it into it's own folder.
Tried using the scrap container up and down the elevator. Never had issues with it before now. I hooked it up to rest on top of the platform ,then I hit the button to send it up. When I came upstairs to meet it up there it had not come up. I came back down and the elevator was slightly skewed with the scrap container embedded inside it. I will note I always make sure to take the hook off the scrap container before sending it up, so that is not what embedded it. I tried pulling the scrap container out with the grab function and then with hooks, and that made the skew worse. This is when I took the screenshot.
Try using the push broom to knock it out of the wall or if you have gotten a certain physics-related object try using it to grab the container and then run away while still grabbing the container. It should eventually pop out. You could also try hooking it to the atv then driving out of the garage.
Do you always lock all the doors after Kerfur goes out to fix the servers? Because Kerfur doesn't unlock the doors by itself, it'll just avoid the locked doors and try following you throught the path that is the closest to you (which so happens to be the glitched triangular floor next to the window, if you locked all the doors and stay close to the window, which is something that does happen if you happen to be getting signals while Kerfur is outside)
Spotted a mysterious motionless dark orb in the sky way off the north edge of the map. Thought I'd discovered some new entity or event; hopped the fence to go take a closer look.
Turns out if one of the stroggified pigs explodes violently enough, its goo can reach the invisible boundary wall and stick there. With no way to climb up to it or gravity gun it down, it's just kind of glued to the sky forever.
Not really an actual bug, just the physics engine being the physics engine, probably got blasted up there by an Ariral firing at a nearby boar. You can climb up there with a hook and bring it down if you don't want it.
Also, unrelated to the rest of this, but how did you get those clearer item icons?
@Bearsjunior the icons are actually just 64x64 jpegs renamed to ".vimg" stored in the folder " C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VotV\Assets\icons ". I got tired of squinting at the little indistinct grayish blobs the game renders for most items so basically I just screenshotted a bunch of the more commonly used tools in front of a chromakey curtain and made new icons in gimp. Gimme a sec, i'll throw em up on google drive if itch lets us post links to that:

It's intentional, sometimes things can fall under the base so this is a way to get stuff from under the base plus it's got a useless secret note somewhere i think.
You were warned not to look in the locker. You got the consequences of your curiosity.
How you feel doesn't matter here. Only your curiosity.
Not really a bug; the transformers aren’t disabled or made easier in Ambience mode, and you still have to manage them just as much as you would normally.
If they are going down twice in an in-game day, it might be because of your power consumption; power some functions off using the breaker in the basement or the Components tab in the computer when not needed.
The following list is what each component controls, alongside it’s power consumption percentage.
another one while im at it, the frame rate is TANKING. i used to have my base decorated in so many items it was honestly atrocious, and i'd average around 60fps save for small drops with events. now, even with no fancy textured objects, and no 3d printed objects or custom ones for that matter, im averaging around 20-30 fps in the base around all my stuff.
Might be a conflict with your pc hotkeys, I think nvidia uses Alt+R for something so that or something else on your pc might be conflicting with it.
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.
I'm glad that it works for you, but that's not the point of a bug report.
The default settings, aka blank asset path, leads to the game creating and searching for a false Appdata path.
Meaning there is some bug or discrepancy in how the game gets Appdata while accessing custom content, vs how the game gets Appdata while accessing save data etc.
I don't think this was intended, also it may be my fault im on linux running the game via protonGE10-10
то заглянул к арералам в домик, и там лежали два постера, с моей картинкой, один у костра другой в домике
Trash is stuck between wall and locker, I can't pick it up or move it at all and it is crashing against the locker with the super loud metal crash repeatedly. I tried to burn it (Molotov) but it did not effect it at all. 
i found an area where i can no-clip under the base. its to the left of the front door and mailbox. its a little dark triangle to the right of the window. i can walk around underneath the entire base.
