Discord? I assume you mean it as where to go to provide feedback and gameplay support, isn't it?

As for Patreon, I was often skeptical over it, not knowing it's functions and perhaps the tiers differing to how much I have, versus how much they cost.

 I was looking for the best place that I know - if not guarantees that the majority of the money I will provide, as of now and any other time I'm capable of offering it, will go to the dev-team as this is an independent work.

As for the feedback I want to provide.. honestly, it's a case of documentation. So much stuff is shared across videos, links & comments I'd been having a bad-habit of screenshotting them all to potentially compile them all. same for gameplay Like did you know if you press `Alt + F` you can make your camera have a more focused beam? Stuff like that is barely spoken but could be helpful and would remove frustrations from people who might be too scared or unsure if they'd like this game.

 That - and there's far too much people relying on thumbnail spoilers and I feel it must be toned down a smidge for the Dev's shake perhaps.

Greetings.

In writing this topic, hoping this would not only, clear out this question of mine, but also be a space to collect, document the various achievements, what they provide and perhaps - a guide as to how to obtain them.

Given the various versions available,  events (Removed, past or timed-ones), and even 'modes', that expands the list exponentially over the actual number.

The few things I do know are that:

Some provide certain bonus like points or even items.
Some are just milestones for certain events you perform (or fail at).
Some are only registered in the PC, like tasks requiring multiple things - and sometimes some of those don't seem to register on the actual achievements tabs (although it might be a mistake on my end).
And yet some are so secretive to do things outside the box and logic of the game - all the while the game provides no incentive or knowledge over any of them.

I'd specify saying that I'm not blaming or even requesting there to be a clearer selection (Well, with the only 'exception' those that could be considered 'common' like a Day-milestones or Unlocks)
Gameplay wise, achievements might push people to soley focus on a certain task at hand instead of working a wider, personal goal, where after completion won't know what else to do and stop there. I'm aware that as many things, the 'mood' the game provides is to allow more subtle and difficult to understand things, utilizing the internet in it's favour by knowing it'll eventually be solved or talked about.

 Still, for anyone willing to participate, do let me know - I'll make sure to label & extend any achievements in a separate topic, or message below.

Hope this helps and - Happy Hunting for those willing to gather them all!

   Greetings.

I've been a player & enjoyer of this game and it's media, ever since I found it a few years back. I've sank many hours, appreciating it's sandbox
aesthetic as well as to document it's more cryptic parts  (With some sub-par manners given I've yet to broadly share my mental notes/research).

I've come to realize that at this moment in time, I was able to provide some monetary support, and although  I'm aware that it isn't necessary mandatory, or that It won't be allot that I can offer at this time - I figured every bit would sustain in prolonging this games work.

 I was curious to know what's the best place to provide this support.
Although Itch.io is the more forward one: How many funds go directly towards the creator/'s of the game, and  how much to itch.io (Considering they need funds to run & maintain servers)

I'm aware of Patreon but I don't have the funds to support monthly. Would it be possible to cancel/give a one-time payment? Although not encumbersome to do, is it required to have an account to do so?

Are there other places besides these two that would work?

P.S: Would labelling topics like this be helpful to moderators & people? Trying to find ways to help properly.

Greetings

  Hmm, yes, I've too encountered this bug before meaning that no; this isn't a bug that's prevalent from version 0.8.

I'm not truly sure what causes it exactly, last time it occurred to me, it was due to unloading items in quick succession, causing the game to delay and thus - glitch out.

  Unfortunately, if this glitch where to occur: There's no way to extract the items once inside the backpack. With the way you showed it, it's as if it occurs every single instance, is that the case?

Greetings.
 I appreciate your immense enthusiasm for this game like many other people. To answer your question I'd like to share mrdrnose, own response in regards to steam that he shared beneath the game description.

Q: Will the game be on Steam one day?
A: The game will get in Steam eventually, but the game is still quite unfinished so it will take some time to polish it for Steam release.

I hope this answers your questions!

Greetings.

I decided to return to jump back into the game, and do my actual part in being of assistance to all the people I both encounter & need help, with this post being one of them.

  Although it is clear that the various users had provided answers (and even proposed & created a hopeful new allies for potential future projects) I'd like to say that creating a multiplayer game is far more complicated than a mere modification. A multiplayer game isn't just a 'multiple instances of one thing, shared across', it is a complete different concept that, given the state of the game would add more stress, work and difficulties. But It doesn't mean that it's a pipe-dream of wonders nonetheless!

  In any case however, mrdrnose themselves had stated right below the game description his thoughts on multiplayer.

Q: Will there be a multiplayer in the future?
A: Most likely not, due to the lack of networking experience and lack of foundation for net in the game.

  In any case, I hope you're enjoying the game even if you'd be 'alone'. Were here for you to ask and support one another!

    Greetings.

I don't mean to trouble you, especially as you just made your itch.io account. By any chance how has your experiences in the game had been so far? Would you by any chance be open to sharing your thoughts on the game? This is the most opportune moment to do so, especially to this latest & new version.

 Additionally If you'd so choose to, I'd like to see if we can get in contact? I'd be willing to assist you in clearing out both any questions and support a new person, by also avoiding spoiling the game. This I feel its a very important and interesting experience to see unfold, especially how I feel that this community is strong but 'separated' by various aspects and interests. So I feel it would be good to try and collaborate with more people in sharing information with one another.

   Let me know how it goes! (I'm actually trying to return to figuring out itch.io & returning to play this game. Got almost one or so year worth of content saved in screenshots alone of various data!)

Greetings.

I'll make this cohesive and short for you (If you were the one referring to me)

If you need any sort of assistance on this game let me know.

What is the best way to contact you? I'd always been wanting to slowly but surely continue working on supporting this game and community bit by bit

Sorry if this'll be a short, and cohesive description.

But you should be able to reduce the 'Screen Resolution'

This option it's the scaling of the quality. The more you reduce it, everything will become grainy.

A basis to let you see first hand all of the terminals whit out issues would be around 64 circa.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you'll stumble onto other issues

Greetings

I'll attempt to be more cohesive in the details while still providing your required aid.

Firstly, know that all of the options are part of the 'Download' category, meaning that it functions thanks to that power input.
Filters are divided into two portions, the hud & the knobs. The closer they are to to 100% the faster the decipher & download will be.

Before you begin filtering, you'll need to keep in mind that you require to divide your attention to both scrolling the knobs, while looking at the screen progress; so initially, you can try to focus on one filter at a time; but later Upgrades can help you facilitate, automate and even haste this process.

This entire process is rather autonomous, but one of the easiest to accomplish for its automatic work once found.

All the needed steps will be as follows:

1. Activate one of the blue buttons on the far, bottom left (If pushed down = ON)
2. Move through the different ranges, by using their right knobs.
   If nothing occurs, swap using the top knob and  change from the different values of: Left, Right & Centre.
3. If you notice a spike, then you're on the right type. Attempt to slow and move it as close to 100%
4. Once found however: Please remember to deactivate the button as to not reset it's percentage.
5. Repeat same steps as opposite button.

Hope this has helped. Let me know if you need aid on this further more.
I'll gladly do my best!

IF need be, you're always able to turn off them for a proper boost of performance, as well as reducing options such as the game resolution still in the same page.

I do not shame, nor feel shunned for doing so; it somewhat gives the game a more unique and nostalgic Source 'vibe'; while providing me with the enjoyment of experiencing this wondrous thing!

   Sorry if my answer looked far too naive.

Greetings.

This is the first time I've attempted to provide any sort of feedback in this platform, which has been troublesome to me, given it's layout. But nevertheless, I'm here to aid you in your dilemma.

Yes, all the things you said are true. The system's very encumbersome to handle, which DOES limit a vast percentage of players fun. However, it isn't that you have little options to restore hunger, but that it drains too quickly; which in turn, causes you to set up and micromanage a daily routine, that, given the limited resources of points, will bring longer wait-times & faultier systems that'll inadvertently cause changes and constant checkups that you'll need to insert somewhere along the day, making it overall a rather grueling thing to monitor over.(Which is all thematic and something I do enjoy in a way to handle!) 

But I've been able to find many solutions to this. And as long as it provides fun to you, it'll hopefully be worth it.
Here's a list of things that might help you.

• Before you even start the game, you can head to the settings 'Game' options, and "disable punishment fee's".
  This makes it so you no longer get penalized harshly, which drastically calms the game's challenge, making it so that you're no longer in an eternal grind attempting to survive in a remote location.

•  Before you play a specific gamemode you can reset certain aspects of a save, this includes "Resetting Player's Bars & Position".
  This will make it so you'll have all the bars filled up and be teleported at the center of your main research station. (Rather helpful as a type of one-way teleportation too!)
  However, know that doing so will reset and remove all the items on your inventory. (Also it may nullify your entire download of a signal too, so use it discreetly)

• Past the Garage's Keypad door, the nearest drawer's filled with rocks. Carefully try and pick one, equip and hold left to constantly smash any  supplies crates around your Station. (Takes usually 40-ish hits, hadn't counted, apologies.) Each unit contains a varied amount of MRE's, repair disc and  some giant clumps of coal (which I think provides nothing as of yet.) 
  This makes it possible for you to stockpile food; and given the previous points I mentioned, lets you conserve it for longer days.

• At the Pylon outside of your Base, at the top there's a crate. You can drop it and carefully carry it inside as well as the drawer in your Bedroom to conserve any mushrooms you find scattered along the trim edge outisde of your base. Just press E + Alt to put them in your inventory, so you won't be eating them off the floor.
  This IS the main way to survive during the day, making you conserve MRE's for when you're at a high low on energies.

Just eat a few and conserve the rest in clumps. Mushrooms stored in this way, prevents them from 'rotting'/dissipating from existence when left outside.

• When reaching day 12 on Story mode. You unlock "Sandbox mode". In there you can have more casual fun than in the other modes as it lets you spawn and use some cheats, such gaining points, refilling stats, noclip as well as an eternal food item.
  Just be more cautious to not spoil the thrill of discovery however

And lastly..

• If you need, I can provide you with my save file. I accidentally reset it to the start, and its now at Day 2.
  But has all of the above stuff already cleared up and neatly stored in a fine order.
