You actually can "Climb" down the slope of the lakebed quickly enough with the hook, but you have to be VERY precise when grabbing the safe and bouncing to the surface.

Try to bind the snow mode hotkey and activate it in a safe place. What's probably happened is a critter has fallen into the river and gotten stuck. Snow mode will push them to the surface and will A) allow them to scurry off to disappear, or B) sprint towards you and do the scary thing before scurrying off to disappear.

That has been the most common cause of permanent meta paranoia for me, when it wasn't Krappus lurking after being purged by console. 

Just started playing current test build (8.2 b 06) and it seems to have a very large performance reduction compared to the original 8.2 (30 fps as opposed to the near 60 we were getting before)

OP stated that they were on the Tutorial level, no storms there afaik. 
As far as polarity, either they have balanced it perfectly between the top and second to top bar, or they are leaving the adjustment knob turned and not zeroing out when it approaches 100.  In this case, they need to return the adjustment amount back to 0 or flip the polarity filter switch quickly to stop rotation. 

really!?

What usually happens is that you have "fallen out" of the interaction. I've been able to get back into it by finding the hotspot, or by fully leaving the minigame by crouching, falling with C, and spamming esc and e. I've noticed this on the new facility consoles too. 

My experience with them was much the same, though I discovered a strafing method (moving diagonally backwards and to one side) with a lighter and a fire suit that was incredibly effective. 

I think you can possibly set a trap with a cone of flammables like this, lure it at you, jump over the items and light them, it may ram them and ignite itself? I will have to test this.  

They may also be trappable in the DEEP HOLE in the lake.

glad to hear!

Could always make a copy of the save, reset objects and events, then find and dig up the original capsule, then mail it to your main save>?

Confirmed here as well on a fresh save.

I've heard rumours from the lady with all the models that those new boxes are just placeholders anyway, perhaps that will be fixed.

I've never been able to fix paper or photos like that, just says "couldn't fix object" and falls

This post has changed my life. Never again will building be the same. 
Wait... does this make the mines actually a useful place again?

I'm just a fake fan, I don't know the deep rich lore that's definitely buried in the game somewhere.

The only way to do this is with the reset slot button in the load menu. You can choose what to reset, but you'll need to reset events and objects for the most new content. 
I advise you use the mailbox to send your precious plushies, engraved golden rings and warehouse full of shrimp to a temporary save, along with anything else you might want. Just remember that containers you put in there will be emptied!

Then you can safely reset events and objects, load it up, and keep your loot. BUT if you're far along the story, this might not be the best experience for you. Your Mileage May Vary!

Do you mean... The ariral that they are <spoiler> throwing knives at </spoiler> (some day I will get spoilers in forum posts... Some day...)

That's what I do, when I notice him or The Creatures getting stuck. 

You'll want to take it off the wall and lay it mostly flat, use the pins like nails to lock papers and photos to the board before placing it back on the wall. 

You can kind of get around the yellow light by reprocessing them, but if it's already lv 3 it will not give extra money. Pretty sure I've gotten money by upgrading early saved signals.

You can use the wood scrap instead of bricks!?

One of the physics settings stops the prop interact sounds, I don't remember which!

Yeah it seems to be new. I'll take that occasional stuck over the perpetual spinning on a hill or edge though. 

There are several practical solutions to this, but yes, you are being stalked by Insomniac and they are waiting to grab you when they can. 

1. if you have at least 15p you can go to the vending machine downstairs and grab a soda or XtraNRG  (go down to 0 on the list), which has several uses and can help keep you out of Insomniac's clutches if an event is messing with you. This also grants a small amount of hunger.
2. If you've got 251p, you can keep a coffee machine (machines) and bag of coffee (misc) handy, drink a full cup and forget about those scary glowing eyes, waiting to choke you to sleep. This also grants a small amount of hunger.
3. ||if you've got an event that is properly stuck, and will never go away no matter what you do (bugged out forever Krappus I'm looking at you), you can use the Terminal in the server room. Typing "debug events" will show the name of the event that is harassing you, and "debug scrape" should remove the event (and meta paranoia), but should be used sparingly and with caution as it can kill story events, which can break the game.||

edit: I cannot spoiler in replies, whoops

thank you!

There was only the the notebook down there this time. A LOT of inert books, but no manual 

EDIT: After breaking every box, I was able to find the manual. Disregard.

I cannot craft the parts for Kerfur Omega as per this video. I am starting with the head as I haven't dug up the joints yet. 
I have The Book, I broke apart my Favoured Friend (Original Parts), I collected The Scrap (2 plastic, 1 metal, 2 electronics, 1 glass scrap), and I painstakingly cracked a safe (for the AI module).

I have attempted to craft the Head, but there is no option to craft it...

thank you for the reply! I realized this shortly after! A fool I am!

Cannot sleep (see video). No events are ongoing, the game just kicks me out of sleep every time. 

Thanks for the replies folks. It's odd that he would appear in Ambient mode, but I guess test build gonna test build! I will give the brew a try

There is a wandering angry critter on ambient mode in PA 8.2.
He is quite fast once he sees the player (and then won't leave them alone), and his model is ghostly has a knife. After stabbing he teleports away to repeat the process.

He seems to appear when the Krampus event occurs, but as I've never encountered Krampus (an event which happens every night, even on Ambient) due to the magic of the new debug commands, it's possible this creature only spawns at night. 
(thank you DrNose for those new debug commands, being able to del.Krampus and scrape the event off the map in this mode is a life saver)

This creature sometimes disappears after a reload, but always comes back. He is persistent and annoying, sometimes camping the bedroom and preventing sleeping by stabbing the player every time they try to sleep. 

The glitch isn't consistent, and I have not been able to re-create it. 

also, I am a fan of the patch updates rather than redownloading apps

32Gb RAM, 2x1 TB ssd, 3.6 ghz 8core cpu, GTX 650 gpu.

Not something that should have an issue with the app 

Okay, another update. it looks like because the app was trying to use more than 100% of the available RAM, and the system was being used at the same time, it caused the automatic paging file allocation in Windows to go absolutely nuts and allocate uh... 82GB of disk for it. To me this implies that itch was trying to glom up nearly 100GB of RAM at some point? (the 22 GB free that it ate up, plus this 82?) 

Whether that's a correct assumption, this shouldn't have happened.
 

update: it's only been about 60-70GB, but it's still an astronomical amount

After closing the Itch app this morning, I woke up to a sluggish PC. A quick inspection revealed the above. 

I immediately closed it without thinking to check which process of the app was still running. I recently noticed that the hard drive upon which Itch lives was suddenly missing 100+ gb space. I could not find the files that were created, and I am very concerned about this sudden and quite aberrant behaviour.

it's very odd that it was still writing to disk at the time. 

It had crashed a few times when clicking a creator's twitter link, but I didn't notice any lingering processes. 

y-you can use multigrab to sell!?? Can you move many purchased items like that too? :o
