First, this problem should be getting fixed in the new release with the person arriving but not being there. The only way to get out of this so far is to reload the save or go to sandbox and back (Make sure to save). Also, your tiredness depends from the hour you wake up to approx. the time you last went asleep.

Sleep is I believe 16-18hrs "tired" and 24hrs "Tired (exhausted)/level 2" (its one or the other, not a range between 16-18hrs) if you go to sleep at 10pm, you will get tired around 9ish or so, give or take the difference in change from what was past the hour.

If you go to sleep at 5 in the morning, you will wake up likely in the later hours of the afternoon, and not get tired again for that "tired" frame of time, and you can't go to sleep till tired or exhausted, soyou will essentially be off schedule for days, until you slowly reset the schedule, or be tired for a very long time (exhausted/level 2) until you can sleep at the proper time to keep schedule.

I personally find it best to sleep between 10 and 11pm if at all possible, to keep the most store hours available, if I'm "bored/done" with a particular day, and tired too early, I'll wait around messing with stuff until its between 10 and 12, if possilbe, if its already well past 12, I don't bother sleeping.

if no one's mentioned it, Check the common issues Pinned thread, I believe Lowlevelfatalerror is listed there, good chance you'll get a solution from that. Sorry about the delay, Normally someone would've pointed that out and I (a random user) haven't been nearly as active checking here since I've been sitting on their discord

There may also be some kinda issue with Adminstrative permisions, Firewalls, and etc..

We are all fully aware that if you have an item underneath you and you pick it up, you will start flying. A fix for this may be coming to the soon-to-be-released version.

The save is located in APPDATA/Local/ShopSim (%appdata% brings you to APPDATA/Roaming)

If the game is not allowed to access the save, or is not allowed to access other folders and the like, Then it's likely to run into problems.

Chances are pretty high, that your game is either Not being allowed to do that, Or some program is being an overprotective pest, Like certain antivirus programs that need to chill the hell down.

Lots of factors, if its way off, Try adjusting UI scale, Resolution (in game and out of game) and Font size/DPI (Out of game)

Some of these things can interfere with how some things function, including matching/syncing up correct positioning of items and cursors

I would probably suggest checking the usual suspects (space, firewall, admin,etc) and/or trying to download it through the itch app, or while running perhaps incognito or what not, it's certainly an interesting issue you have.
Try also different versions, trying maybe Gamejolt as well, (it should be up to the public version (0.0.9e) (might be written differently based on site criteria))
Maybe also try a different browser, there's a ton of them out there.

You could also try emulators for mobile (which have a crapton of small browsers) to try and download the file somewhere where you can then locate and unpack it like normal, but that'd be something I'd say to do if nothing else at all works.

Crafting can be finnicky, I am not understanding what your problem is. But to uncraft or dismantle an item, move it to the Anvil and use you hammer on it.

If they're assembled wrong (For example, a one hand grip and a pickaxe head =/= an item - The blacksmith can equip that, but it will not notify you of creation, update the name of item, nor allow a customer to buy it) they won't update.

If they're assembled right (for example one hand grip, one hand guard, and a 2-ingot blade) and they don't rename themselves
This is not necessarily "an issue" - not all items do indeed have a name. - If it tells you "You created an (insert item)" You're still fine, whether it labeled it or not.

if it is assembled corretly, it doesn't rename itself, AND you do not see a notification of assembly - THEN, there's a problem...
you can unassemble it, maybe for some reason the blade didn't cool off properly (FOR EXAMPLE, You dipped it in oil while the forge was running, and then proceeded to turn, with a cooled blade,  and dragged the blade over the forge, causing it to heat up, but not enough to update "cooled" to "heated")
If everything else checked out, and it didn't work, and reassembly didn't work, multiple times - Then there may be a corruption in your files, you can either try unzipping it again, or downloading free, or trying through the itchio app

I think I know what you mean. I have the same problem. You made the item correctly, but the customer wont pick it up. Or you didn't make it correctly and the item doesn't tell you that.

If that it correct. When I know I made the item correctly, I just leave it by the front desk and a customer will automatically pick it up. If they don't, I know the order or customer is glitched.

If not correct, I am sure someone else will come around and see your post, or ask again on separate post. Good luck!

I dunno if you've asked on Discord

but its been reported/added to try and alleviate/be a clearer sign of AI pathing issues

If you're getting more than one customer, check around the map, see if there some kinda AI/NPC issue brewing near the Bridge, or the two Exit portals (left and right of the shop)

If there is, good, coming near it and helping clear it up should help the issue

if not, Switching free mode/shop mode, and saving/resloading, will help by despawning npcs, but it may not change the overall situation.

we still, or rather, I still, which is rather unimportant, seen a reasoning to explain the issue.

it could just be overzealous codework that was introduced in the dev build that is reacting to even the slightest NPC issue.

There's roughly a total of 12 ore veins

Some are outside of the mines entirely.
Some are in the mines Foyer

The rest are in the mines behind the door to the mines.

Actually, it can't be the charisma modifier, because I've respecced my character to have 1 charisma, and I'm still having orders where the total is more than the sum of what's on the board.

Charisma was mentioned some time ago by Patrons for this version, I'm not sure why it went on this long without recovering, but its possible its intentional, as 1c is impossible even at 1% It could be getting reworked, similar to intelligence/quality/item stats.

Customer stack can be removed with save/reload, but its being caused primarily (might not be solely) by Customers who request shields (or more than 1 item)
when They get one item and then "wait", the game has gotten confused, the waiting isn't the sign of that, but for some reason, it has started to think the "first customer" is ready to leave, and when you dismiss the shield customer or complete his request a "second customer" is ready to leave, and "both customers" are leaving - So the game sends in a new customer so the game sends in a new customer.....
and if you do another shield customer  - - - So the game sends in a new, a new, a new customer.

Another shield - new new new new customer

and another 30 shields newnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnewnew~~

Infinitely. So don't even give shield customers anything and just dismiss them, and you should be good, for the most part.

The same, almost, can be said for Sword "specific" customers.

The ones that specify guard, blade and grip they want for their sword
These guys will currently spawn guards if you hold any item that doesn't match their order, and also has a guard, that isn't stolen, btw, stolen and not items don't count. but any item they can detect, that is wrong, will cause the issue.

So if you avoid these two, most problems will be resolved.
(the latter problem hopefully is already resolved)

Nvm i redownloaded it a few times and it worked fine

Not a bug,  (technically) - Just don't save in the mines, There's areas of the map, particularly the mines right now, that don't load with the engine, they load (or unload) based on you, and it doesn't load the mines when you fall into them, cause that's not normal, and other things.

The second issue is any tool part
Any grip, any guard, any metal head.
You shouldn't run into a problem provided you don't throw (left click charge) or fling (turn+release rightclick) - oh, and also provided you don't actively try and push the item through objects (namely the floor and walls)
I can't claim whether this issue is scaled back or not, in some ways, it is seen as partially a feature, that is being a little overzealous to try and alleviate certain instances of "stuck"

The first issue should hopefully be addressed already. - It can be "alleviated" with saving and reloading (should despawn them, bringing the customer count back to default)
The MAIN cause but not swearing its the only cause of this, is shield customers. Completely avoid selling to shield customers at all for this version (0.1.0o) This should be considered "extended" to customers that ask for more than just a single weapon, too.

There's also a third issue you may eventually run into, that should also hopefully be fixed by the next patch
It deals with Specific Sword Requests, Customers that specify what guard, grip, and blade to use for their one hand sword, should either be avoided completely or.... Do not get their order wrong. If you get their order wrong, or rather, if you're holding Any item that isn't their correct order  they will cause guards to spawn, quickly, in the shop causing lag and probable crash.

Again. your first issue and this should hopefully already be addressed.

"Greatswords - Specific Greatsword orders appear no different than Non-specific. If Items properly assemble, and customers are accepting otherwise, expect the reason is specific for the greatsword, probably best to save time and dismiss em.
(Unlikely) veerrry small chance that polearms may also be afflicted." #confirmed-bugs 

(quote that I took from my confirmed bugs post on the discord, already had it copied cause I was talking with someone else about it)

Chances are it failed to download, Try downloading again, or try using  itch's app

Guard spam is caused by Specific sword Requests

If you're holding an item with a tool head, guard, and grip, that isn't the correctly requested item, The guard requested by the customer will begin to spawn in the middle of the floor under the house, eventually the physics of which will cause it to erupt upwards from the floor.

You can AVOID this by either A) dismissing the Specific Sword requesters right away
OR not getting their order wrong, or not holding the wrong item.

This should hopefully have already been addressed, along with many of the other things I was just talking about in other posts.

Note This gets incredibly harder to avoid if you allow customers to pile up without reloading, as their requests can merge and you'll fail to be capable of even having the chance to notice their presence.

Specific sword requests look like this
blacksmith I need a tin one hand sword with a rare grip, hero guard, and  a pointed blade

If you hold a for example

iron, rare grip, hero guard, pointed blade the spam will happen
if you hold a tin common grip hero guard pointed blade
if you hold a tin, rare, normal guard, pointed blade
Even if you hold a spear in which you've added a guard to while completing it, the spam will happen. (at least it did for me while I was testing one of the times)

If you however hold a stolen version, or a non-existent item, The spam will not happen.

Example of a non existent item
A one hand sword blade, on a two hand grip and guard
A dagger with a guard
A pickaxe with a one hand grip
A hatchet with a two hand grip (small axe head)

Coal ingot and Zinc Ingot do not exist, thus of course it'd never be made, though, It's really not supposed to show coal ingots at all.

As for steel alloy - if there's ever an issue with it not displaying, try removing the ore and putting it back in, and/or moving the smelter, as the detector might have gotten blocked by something (unlikely)
If those don't work, go for a save reload rather than trying anything else, but first, remove the ore that you can, then do the reload.

you know there is a "edit" button on each of your posts

Saving and reloading will purge the non-save file data, yeah - which includes customers

The reason the additional customers are spawning IS NOT LIMITED TO WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY.... but what I say below here is DEFINITELY one of the main ways.

Shield Customers currently cause an issue when they "Wait" for the second item, No matter what, if you sell anything to a shield customer, they will cause one more additional customer to spawn, one for every time you repeat this. - These are not intentional spawns, and as a result, other issues associated with them are not necessarily bugs, because the additional customer itself is the bug.

Avoidance can be done by simply dismissing Shield customers right off the bat, and if you accidentally allow two or more customers, it is likely safer to just go ahead and save and reload then and there, rather than wait.

additional as I said, not limited to Shield - There could be some other less obvious things that are triggering additional spawns as well - and while I've never seen it personally, The custom difficulty also has a setting for "Multi-order" which sounds like a customer could ask for two or more items, not necessarily being shield(s)  - if this DID occur ever, that customerr too would likely cause another customer, as well. - since it seems tied to the "Waiting" 

For the most part, if you could please re... eeehh...  I guess theere has been video postings.. it doesn't really matter... but feel free to redact some of the info here, I won't stop you if you decide to, and would encourage it.

anyway onto the matter at hand.

Yes. Some places unload (partially?) when the player is not within their cell/region - This causes foreign entities (anything that isn't ore is foreign, this includes the player(save/reload)) to fall through the now unloaded surface, and generally, into the void, however its not always directly into the void, (player mostly), but it is always "gone"

The area unloading is not specifically "a bug" as that is the intended purpose.

Lost crystals can (somewhat) be solved with Slipcor's save fixer

https://mlbs.slipcor.net

the most recent one (for 0.0.9e) can be used for some features in 0.1.0o - there is MINOR support for difficulty and primary save file - if you have 3 normal files (I think) and this one in particular is your "2" (3rd, I think) then the save fixer will have a lot of trouble being of any help, as it will be next to impossible for it to identify the save file - it isn't yet designed to support multiple saves.

but if its the primary file (of a difficulty, I believe, so if you have 1 hard, 1 normal, and 1 easy, you can fix any of them.. I think.... I'm not sure, as I haven't had the need to, and it hasn't been priority in my mind to check it cause it isn't updated)

There's no way to recover the crate, though that's small potatoes cause you can chop essentially infinite logs for essentially infinite crates.

If you can't recover the crystals, there's a few options still that remain.

one is to wait till you can
another is to just forget about it for the time being, as the [redacted(long)] this version
And the last, very last, would be to restart your save... 
technically there's one before that too
you can try to be like Slipcor and break open your save and edit the crystals entries yourself - If they don't exist, the engine is programed to make them exist (when you use them, correctly, the engine will reload them on the next save and reload, ) 

as Slipcor does, you should backup your save if you try this, just like his fixer, as 1 wrong step can instantly bork the save file.

If you look further up this page, and possibly some of the previous pages, you'll see me talking about why this happens, and how to avoid it for the most part, among a few other things as well

Not a "bug" per se

0.1.0o has a new station system as well as smelter system, among other things like save slots and difficulty.

Your 0.0.9e doesn't have equivalent difficulty identification - would default as a primary(non numbered) save slot - If it had the smelter, it's possible that could update smoothly however

There building system aforementioned includes the stations being saved to the save file, so it can track their updated positions on the map and such.

now that they're scripted to save in the save file, they're also scripted to reload from the same file - meaning if their entry in the save file doesn't exist

They don't exist.

And 0.0.9e - didn't save them to the save file, it spawned them in with the engine, unloaded them, and reloaded them, all engine.
So a 0.0.9e (or earlier) save file doesn't have entries to reload them.

0.1.0o on a new save trigger - spawns the stations in for the very first time and that alone. - which gives them an initial entry to reload from

_______
Long story short. - Due to drastic feature changes and inclusions, it is impossible to use that save

While it was possible in many cases to ignore changes and continue a save before, these are fairly game-breaking 

lmao thats kinda funny, at least you wont run out of them. make sure not to give jesus the wrong sword again.

I agree with the customers. Maybe a double door entry or even just another door might help sort the  NPCs? Have an in one door and out the other door path, maybe?

This is... somewhat normal for now. It's a well known bug that Dasius is trying to fix, so if you want to, I suggest you message him directly about any ways you can replicate it. It would probably help him a lot.

No, not yet

same version 0.1.0

Charisma is not a feature yet, it's not a bug, it just doesn't work

Try reinstalling directx from the web installer here http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=35. While that file does indeed deal with audio, it is not a standalone library, so it won't work no matter where you put it without the other libraries as well. The self-contained installer from that link will automatically determine what files are missing and install them.

edit: I forgot to mention, you should also delete the version of that dll that you downloaded from all of the folders you put it in. I don't know where you got it or what version it is, but if it is the wrong version and it is still present in the game's directory, it will override the correct version that gets installed in the system folder. Best to just remove it to be safe. 

and that is a problem? you literally got bronze bars at the cost of only copper, that is a very large profit margin

no, it doesn't. i played a game where i only kept the necessary materials around (3 bars and 1 of each grip/guard) glitched like that on day 5, only got worse each day. found out if you save, exit and reload the save that there is a chance it will fix it, but only if there are no, or at least not supposed to be, any customers in your shop (close shop and wait a minute before reloading file)

If you find that they are teleporting in after reloading then you need to walk over to where they spawn so the game loads in their pathing A.I.

with the shields, i have to start by putting the edge ring and then i can put the other stuff, also every thing has to be of the same material.

I've gotten more than five customers at the same time clipping through each other. Makes it very tough to read the requests and slows down the game a bit. I think it happens when either you don't sleep or when you are able to quickly get through requests.

NVM I just crouched and I walked under it. Gonna leave this post here so that if anyone else has this problem they know the fix

I have the same issue with the hero guards dropping around my shop, thought it was cool and funny the first time. got tired of it the third time, ALOT to clean up lol.

The way I fixed this is saving and restarting the game.

Same problem here

Hey,

Just in case, ill post the fix here.
https://itch.io/t/431438/faq-011

yeah i have the same problem.

i do as well, could just be a bug or a overlay within the game that goes into a head on collision with a command in the game, pretty sure he can or/ is fixing it 

Hey TimZ02,

Here is the solution. https://itch.io/t/431438/faq-011

I haven't been as active on the forum recently cause I got auto-logged out but

to go to the topic at hand....
The issue is they're all the same save.
And.

You're saving wrong.

When you start, with absolutely no saves, and click save in game, you'll see a square for that current save, right?
This isn't a save.
This is "New save slot" with all the information attached to it for the current game/save
if you click "New save slot" - it will make a new save, regardless of what you name it.

The only way to truly overwrite the previous "new save", is to (well first create one and then) scroll down the list, until you find the one you actually created - If you only have 1 real save, It will be the bottom slot, while new save slot will be the top slot.
 As for changing that save-slots name afterwards.... mmm... I dunno I think that would probably act like new save slot, hard to say.

that with food hapends to me too and all handles dissapears the deer and ingots doubles as you'll respawn in a "new game"

nevermind. after another restart they are all good. But some things duped and now my save wont load.

what the actual fuck, now thats a big ass bug

check the FAQ for 0.1.1 or the discord bug list( for New Version, New Save). They relate.

Please check this post and/or this post
as they should contain information related to this issue (I even was just testing it again on itchio app just recently, reaffirming the findings, playing around with them a little, etc)

Alternatively, come onto the Discord and talk about the issue, or dm someone (like me) if you want further counsel

First: the file coming back is likely based on how the save was handled - if you had multiple versions of it, at any time,  - to completely start fresh, I would go to the game folder, and delete the slots along with the saves - Slot file stores the header info for the game to associate with the new save files, if it says a save slot exists, it exists, if it doesn't, even if the file is there, the save doesn't exist to the game/engine.

As for lag spike - If you join the discord and dm me, I can help you out with that, when the time arises, as well as the other thing you mentioned, I can tell you what contributes to the lag, and how to mitigate some of it, and also what may be contributing to the other thing (more or less speculation)

not entirely sure the issue being reported here, but, if you join the discord, and DM me with the save file and potentially an image of the issue, I can probably help you work around the issue and fix it from hanging. (I'm not actually sure the issue you described, and the hanging, are actually related, also, There's other things that are more likely to be at play, but I can help you with fixing those, too)

The dev team is impossibly small, So public hotfixes are few and far inbetween. Patrons tend to get updates every so often, which would usually include "the hotfix" - unless its something that completely borked the game period, not just for some.

However. you can mitigate/workaround the issue on your own end by incinerating the items from the bedroom (you can do it one by one, or, you can manuever the furnace into place so that the majority of the bedroom items just spawn inside the furnace, and then you can just press the button until they're clear, every so often
You can also purge them, and the firewood, and other things, via the save file - if you want, you can also join the discord and dm me your save file(s) and I can do that for you, I know what I'm looking for and can do it quicker. (within reason, if i'm actively present)

A different bug can also be used to mitigate geoff's firewood, You can place the furnace within the "detection" area, and it will stop Geoff's spawns from despawning, and, respawning, even if you leave.
this will prevent his firewood from just spawning everytime you enter and exit his detection box -though, in a good, and bad, way it will also stop all guards and grips, too. - Good, because you can keep some rares or choice grips present until you can easily pick them up, bad, because you have to remove the furnace any time you want him to spawn fresh. (I do not recommend leaving the furnace within the detection area, and saving - there's no telling what problems that could cause, and they would be a bug derived from a bug, so, they wouldn't even be within the scope of reporting.)

You can workaround this by incinerating the items, however  unless you have a lot of the items in the bedroom, they're not likely the cause of crash or playability, I recommend joining the discord and dming me the save-file you wish to rescue, as I suspect a different issue is causing the trouble, or a combination of multiple things - after we see what is the issue, I can address some of the things and others to hopefully keep you running smoother and with less issues

I also have this problem. If I save again and reload, ANOTHER carriage appears clipped into the one that is already clipped into the shop. This is gamebreaking and it seems a decent amount of folks have this error.

Win7 64bit, 16gb RAM, Intel i5-7600k @ 3.8GHz, GTX 1050 Ti 4gb.

All of my drivers are updated.

Eidt: Was originally playing the 32bit version of the game because people said it was more stable. I DL the 64bit version and the cart in room bug was gone. now, I get the bug where the items in the bedroom multiply upon saving and loading a game. It is playable at least.

I recommend joining the discord and dming me with your savefile and i can probably help you with the issue, and other information about it, and other things, to maybe help keep you running smoothly ( if you haven't already joined that is, if you have, I still recommend dming me your save file)

I'd recommend joining the discord for the reload problem you described, I can help you about if you dm me your savefile, More than likely, I can tell you what seems to be going on, as well as advise you on some things that may help keep you running smoothly and some potential things that may help the situation (but don't put too much weight in that)

For the "can't sleep anymore" issue - Its the wagon. 9/10 times it'll more than likely be the wagon, with the other time being something related to the game, items, and when it takes an item away from you suddenly, or you lose it unnaturally (releasing it yourself) - Which can be fixed almost immediately by playing around with another item.
the wagon variant must be saved and reloaded, though you can avoid having that by not driving the wagon, if you want to use it, just have the deer follow you instead, for now. (at least the deer isn't like the horse was, the horse identified as an Apache attack helicopter, and used your items as ammunition)

For the later half, I recommend the same to you as the person who replied to you, Please head over to the discord, if you haven't already, and dm me, particularly with the save file that is having trouble - I have ideas on what it is, but until I see it, I can't know for sure,  Once that's handled, I can relay the same info to you as I do to everyone I try and help, between what seems to be accurate, and speculation gathered from others and myself

Ore veins
All ore veins start as stone on a fresh save/new player - anytime "new player" bug occurs, it'll be stone again (along side all the duplications that occur)
Your two options here are either wait around for the "Depleted vein" to kick in and recycle them, or, save and reload - which would end up forcing them to unload and reload, usually resulting in various ores - Non-depleted vein recycle time is shorter  (usually occurs at midnight/turn of the new day), depleted vein is longer, though I can't swear to how long
I've had reports of people waiting and getting veins, even though I myself wouldn't be that patient.

The latter part of your post is why the first part has FPS drop - If you DM me the save file over on Discord, I can help you fix that part.
Someone, whether it is me or not, must absolutely fix one of your saves, or give you a non-afflicted save, For the few people that have the issue you have, it always happens no matter what when saving the initial time.
As for the windowed mode.
It boots in fullscreen by default, but the settings file it creates is a small resolution + windowed mode - have you not altered your in-game graphics settings...? Personally I recommend making it match your desktop resolution, and leaving it windowed
with a matching resolution, you won't even barely be able to tell its not fullscreen.

Unfortunately I do not, and afaik, no one does, know what triggers "New Player bug" If you dm me on the discord with a savefile and tell me the issue(s) you want fixed/looked at, I can help - in this case I can help clear out the duplicates, restore lost gear and levels (maybe) (and if not, add replacement that makes it like I did) and potentially some other things that may or may not need to be addressed. Other than recommending the discord route I would say do the "standard" "failsafe" type "debugging" actions you might do with any game backup save Delete the existing Data from the game-folder and local Appdata folder (ShopSim in appdata's "Local" folder), and then redownload the zip and extract it again - I recommend not downloading it to, nor extracting it on/to, the Desktop - I recommend that it be placed somewhere else, and preferably a place where you would assume you have full access to (read, write, rewrite, etc) - as well I often recommend games have their own drive, if you have multiple drives.

and with erased settings, I would often also recommend trying to use windowed mode, with a resolution in game, that matches your desktop resolution, Resulting in a borderless windowed fullscreen looking game, that is hard to tell is windowed. (this is unlikely to be factoring into the issue at hand)

(sorry for reposting, but same information for you if you're having "new player" bug (as I call it))

If you used the deer and wagon, This is likely what caused your issue

driving the wagon leads to a lot of interaction breaking, particularly the bed's ability to activate sleep - save and reload is the only thing known to reset it if it was a seat on the wagon.
The wagon's lock sorta somewhat overrides/replaces the crate's lock.
If you lock the crate and then set it, contents full, on the wagon, and lock the wagon - the items interaction will, largely, break.  - if you instead "lock the crate, place it on the wagon * AND THEN * *unlock* the crate, you will likely have no further issue

you don't need to worry about the crates contents going nuts just because you unlocked the crate, because when you lock the wagon, the contents will get locked again, anyway.
So instead of Crate -> Lock applied -> Wagon -> wagon Lock applied to "Lock applied items" - you'll be crate -> locked applied -> wagon -> crate unlock applied -> wagon lock applied

exactly like me

im gonna try reinstalling the game

Check if your antivirus isnt blocking/deleting any files. You might have to reinstall.

Hey KGNao,

We're still trying to isolate the issue with why that is happening. Good chance might need to rewrite the save file structure. Hopefully not. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Would you be able to send me all of your save files with the problem.

I have this too

Thank you Zakoos.
It is a known issues and I am investigating the cause of the issue. 

Same i cant edit the sign either.

I was able to find a janky way around this. It looks like with the addition of the planks, some of the shield's/rims got mismatched. You need to create a heater shield 3 rim and it will fit on the round shield body (and look stupid, but whatever). 

Hey Lokinor,

I wouldn't worry too much about the crystals since they are not usable at the moment.

I cant either i tried making a round shield but couldn't.
