Did you by chance download the source rather than release? This is the most recent release link.  Release Delta Patcher v3.1.5. You want one of the bin zips depending on your operating system and then you just unzip and run. Then you place the assembly file on the top row, patch file on the bottom, and hit apply patch. Unless there is another issue, lmk.

Looks like there was a new patch for the game a few hours ago. I need a bit of time to update the mod, then it should work.

Thanks for the info. I'll submit a pull request or post to the discord once I get a few features ironed out and polish it up.

Working on a growth kink mod and would appreciate feedback from anyone. It's up on itch, search "bdcc growth mod" and it will show.

Yeah, the main scaling function doesn't seem to affect them. I'll note this as a feature request and see if I can implement it, potentially with scaling the head/tail as an option.

Great, thanks for letting me know. A couple people were having trouble with the main menu, but this confirms they just have an invalid copy of the game (maybe unofficial) and attempted patching anyway.

Tested the mod thoroughly on multiple devices and have confirmed it is working. If Delta Patcher says "The patch could not be applied", please read the installation guide and FAQ thoroughly and ensure you have the exact needed version of Archipelagates downloaded from the official Archipelagates page.

I will never redistribute any game files. If there is an issue with the checksum, there is a 99% chance it is on your end given I can easily and confidently validate it working on my end by downloading both files and patching (not trying to be rude, just honest).

Can you let me know if you get the mod working? Trying to diagnose a non-replicable bug, it would mean a lot.

Is your Archipelegates download from itch, version 26 (shows on download page)? The checksum should match if so. The patch will never work if the checksum fails. Even a single byte difference in the assembly file will result in a checksum fail typically. It's possible there is a compression/decompression thing going on that I can investigate, otherwise, there is no reason for the checksum to fail assuming we have the exact same download (I've downloaded it and tested many times on my end).

(closed question)

Reason: Invalid Checksum - Refer to FAQ "The patch could not be applied" & "The Main Menu is Broken"

Currently investigating. Was patch 0.6 your first version of the game or was it an older version? I think it might have to do with persistence from older versions.

It is currently up on itch under the "game mods" category. Titled "Archipelagates Growth Mod" and tagged adult.

I'll upload it for now, and promptly take it down if requested. Regardless, I'm very excited for the next patch!

I made a mod in the form of an xdelta patch file (159kb filesize). It adds a menu with sliders that control the growth rate of different body parts. When a player collects pink orbs/energy, they grow based off the sliders they set (arms, muscle, legs, etc.). Is it ok if I upload it here to itch under the game mods category with the name Archipelagates Growth Mod? The mod contains only the aforementioned patch file, no assets or anything like that.
