same here! I thought I did have doors at first, but when I next played the game they were gone. I wonder if it was turning off "use old server names" that did it - before I restarted, the computer terminals showed the correct nato alphabet names, but the signs on the building didn't, so maybe whatever changed the signs to match got rid of the doors at the same time.
(please disregard if no-one else noticed that pattern)
I've also encountered this issue. New save made on version 0.7a Played for awhile saved near a satellite and stopped playing for the night, loaded up my save the next day and the doors on all the satellites were gone. No other doors seem to be affected at the base or the bunker or anything like that.

Kerfur bug
I gave a piece of paper to Kerfur and sent him to get the reports, but if it persists in the middle of this process and move into the world, then he will just stand in one place and the piece of paper that I gave him will disappear.
Good afternoon, Dr. Nose,
I'm not sure if you have addressed this issue, but I have a few suggestions:
On the first day, if you send a box with empty paper on it you get an email about daily task completion, but there shouldn't be any daily task on first day (ignore other emails, I just made a screenshot after I completed first week):
this looks like the only way to get weekly reward on first week
I think you are trying to run the executable itself from the desktop, but there is no VotV folder in the desktop. Try running the VotV.exe located in the WindowsNoEditor folder after you extract the game folder, or create a link to (path where you extracted votv folder)\WindowsNoEditor\VotV.exe file and run it
nladd, im sincerly sorry, please stop. Please Stop. This bug is Getting on My Nerves! It must be Patched! Sorry! im so Sorry! Please dont be angry at me, I want mrdrnose to get rid of this bug asap, No matter how many attention it has to get! C1C1C1C1C1C1C1
On the back of it (where the plug is coming from) there is a 'Retract' button that allows to get it back no matter where it is
Others also experienced the entire tower dissappear, I don't know if that is an event or not, because I didn't had it dissappear myself yet, but it seem to happen at the same time as it loses connection
(spoilers)

The treehouse appearing earlier is just a change, developer made it that all the events happen much more earlier, I think even the big pyramid appears on day 35 instead of 42, and I got the first triangle ship signal on day 7 instead of day 14 or 15
If you can't move the fridge just because its too heavy, try moving it with ATV (Grab ATV and push the fridge with it)
Kerf getting stuck on everything should be fixed in the next update I think
About items dropping on the floor: you mean pressing R, not E? Maybe your alt key got stuck, because ALT + R is drop item
White mushrooms are taken from real mushrooms that multiply by exploding, just explosion range for them there is set much higher
Yellow wisps remaining after big pyramid is intended, Rozital Spider Scout things are supposed to take the remaining ones
Drives exploding is probably intended, if drive gets damaged too much it will explode on use, to avoid players just throwing the drives around
I also noticed that the spawn rate for mushrooms it a lot higher, on 0.6.3 even after 30 days there just about 10 of them, but on 0.7.0 even on second week there is more than 40 mushrooms growing around, this is probably a bug, because I don't think the roof is supposed to be fully covered in mushrooms
Buckets moving through walls was a bug even in earlier version, I think they move only when player far away or on save & reload
I mean, yeah, puffball mushrooms "explode", but they don't literally combust in a violent explosion.
I hope the drives exploding isn't a feature, I'd prefer if all the things on my desk and in the surrounding area were not sent flying everywhere because of something random I can't control. :)
Indicated spot has no collision on the ground. Area is large enough for player to fall through, and deep enough that I had difficulty getting out before I grabbed some nearby trash and dropped it in the space. Allows access to a huge area under the map, not sure how large exactly but definitely out of bounds.
Unrelated to the attached picture: I can occasionally hear loud, rapid, metallic, clanging sounds in the base. It sounds like something is somehow getting stuck in the ground or a wall or whatever, freaks out for a few seconds, and then fixes itself only to happen again later. It seems to be coming from either somewhere on the second floor or somewhere out on the roof, but I can't find anything that is causing it. I don't think this is related to any specific event or entity, but someone else might know better than me. EDIT: Upon further investigation, I can hear the sound loudest--really annoyingly so--when standing in the main hallway, near all the doors to the break room, signal processing, etc. Going the second floor, it sounds somewhat quieter. I assume there is a gap between the two floors, just going by the slightly cracked grate in the ceiling of the signal room (please no spoilers if possible) so maybe it's coming from there.
Probably caused by changes in physics engine, I think developer rewrote the physics on C++ adding some changes to it and thats why some objects are easier to grab, because player physics were also affected (you can even see slight jumping when moving into a wall, which didn't happen on previous versions)
That was the cause. I am going to delete my post, since it was not actually a bug in the game. Thank you for your help.
Deleted original reply & reposted as I found corrections for some of the contents. <3
1-Hello again just found an issue on this latest build, the option for "Player Physics Damage" in the experimental settings no longer disables receiving physics damage from objects (At least for the vending machines) however it does still work for fall damage.
2-Just had a visual inventory bug involving the equipable backpack, I reloaded the game after dying & ordered some drives, the crate was delivered & I retrieved the drives to my inventory, walked into the control room & went to place the drives & couldn't see them in my inventory. I thought they might be in my backpack so I pressed the equipment tab in the inventory & was greeted with 2 grey circle icons (1 in the top left slot & 1 in bottom left slot) No backpack icon, I clicked the bottom left icon & the GUI flashed. Now the backpack icon was there in the top left slot, I closed out of the equipment tab back to the inventory & the drives were now visible.
3-Not sure if it's intentional but when closing the inventory with tab button, after either dropping, placing, holding or storing an item in inventory it takes 2 presses of the tab button. but if using a container or not doing any of the previously mentioned actions while inventory closed it only takes 1 press of the tab button. Escape button doesn't share this same issue.
4-When using database on the computer, I click on a saved signal to view it, no problem there. However when I try pressing escape to exit the computer it doesn't work until I select another tab then it will allow me to exit the computer once more.
5-Not sure if this is necessarily a bug but earlier had sent a box of drives to be sold, they had not yet reached their destination when I met my untimely end at the hands of a vending machine (Statistically more dangerous than you might expect) upon reloading the game I found the box of drives was no longer in it's place but I was not given any points for the delivery. I thought maybe my save was further back than I originally thought so I dismissed this as me miss-remembering the time of my save & continued valuable research. the day passes & the time reaches 00:00 on the clock, The new daily report comes in. I notice the drone arriving so I meet it to collect what I was expecting to be a drive & an MRE delivered inside of a crate, but I was not greeted with the drone dropping a crate, instead it dropped a drive box containing the same drives that I sent to be delivered earlier before my untimely demise. -Not sure if this might be a factor at all but I have autosaves turned to 0 (I presume 0 to mean that the game will never autosave)
6-This isn't technically a bug but when the power goes out for the base, the point miner continues to operate despite there being no power. I mean I don't mind still getting free points while I'm out repairing transformers but I feel this might have just been overlooked which would be easy enough to do considering the complexity of the game *^-^*
7-I can't recall if this was already something that occurred in previous builds, I thought at first it was just something to do with the ATV but upon further inspection it seems that the terrain's collision map differs to it's texture
Sorry for the spam MrDrNose T^T I hope that at least some information provided will be of use to you & not a mere headache <3
Disabling player physics damage also seems to not disable damage from elevator in the garage, this can kill you instantly if you jump on it from above even with disabled physics damage, and I don't think the elevator even supposed to damage you when you jump on it.
Bugs 2, 3 and 4 were in the previous versions too
Bug 5 is quite interesting because as I know any item that drone has when it delivers it always dissappears and gets replaced with a box at 0:00, I even noclipped to see that happen in previous versions, so it probably appeared in this version
7 is just a problem with visual terrain detail, low detail terrain texture different from high detail terrain texture, you can even see the terrain shifting when zooming in with X, not a bug with collision
I'd say maybe the elevator delivers damage according to collision speed as to deliver a small amount of damage to player underneath elevator. which if true I find fitting to also add a coconut impact sound effect *^-^*
Oh okay I don't recall #4 being an issue for me previously but to be fair I've rarely used the database so I'm probably forgetting.
-Do you know if the drone has a built in autosave system? like one which would temporary save the drone's contents in case of game crash or force close. (this function would work separately to regular game autosave, It would cache the drone contents on request) That same system unless directed to do otherwise might also function the same upon death/menu boot
Oh #7 is a rendering issue? & so do you mean if I change my settings for terrain to high it will fix that issue? or it's unrelated to the in game setting. I haven't tried. Is this only for the latest build or prior?
Also do you know if there is plans in the future to make Kerfer avoid objects realtime & not only the navmesh for map? I had to move a shelf away from the locker I store Kerfer in because they would continuously throw my belonging around because they are a silly clumsy goober smashing into my damn objects lol *^-^*
Edit:
You can place an infinite amount of pages onto a drive box & it will just delete any pages added after the first.
I don't know if drone has autosave, but my guess is that it is a problem with delivery queue system on reload. There is also still a bug with box visually dissapearing on reload if drone didn't pick it up yet that I think came from previous versions, this could also be connected
I don't think there is a setting for terrain resolution, I think it selects it automatically based on hardware, because I seen other people get this issue and they all had an old graphics card
I got in the exact same place where you were and still couldn't replicate the issue (I tested it on RTX 4070Ti):
I don't think realtime navigation for kerfur or any other entities will be ever a feature, because updating the entire navmesh if any object moved is extremely slow, and the game has extremely large map that will probably take about 10 minutes to calculate navmesh for. Alternative to updating the entire navmesh will be pathfinding, but that will require recalculation every 5 to 10 seconds or so to actually make it avoid moving into objects that moved into its way, this will get very inefficient on many entities.
I checked if you can put more papers on a drive box, and yes, this is most likely a bug from 0.7.0. I also noticed that if you put an empty paper on a box and take it back there will be a text "hi :)" in the paper, which is used when the text couldn't load
What is your FOV set to? mine was near max. I found that if I put FOV back to default this problem goes away. The more I increase FOV the more it distorts, Also it's affect goes away when you zoom. I would say yeah this problem may only occur on older graphics cards, I'm currently using an ancient NVIDIA Quadro K2200.
But on the other hand if that were to be the case, why does this only occur in select areas? It's not only a matter of viewing angle or terrain angle as you can see here in this picture with even more angle but barely any visual issue ;o
Surely implementing object evasion into a Kerfer on a very basic level could be viable especially if only done for Kerfer entities & no other. You don't need a system that is constantly ticking & updating, You could use something like a raycast or cone trigger infront of Kerfer which if it hits certain whitelisted physics props (Primarily bigger objects) it then enables the evasive pathing mode, Sets timer for say 1.5 seconds, The timer disables pathing & return Kerfer to initial task. -Kerfer has single handed been the most destructive entity for me so far they have no respect or boundaries. T^T
Yeah I noticed that cute little placeholder, funny. *^-^*

-Also this shouldn't ever be an issue for any normal human, But I found that by nailing Kerfer's plug to the ground prongs facing up then retracting it, Then trying to pick up the plug for some reason the plug teleported up through the roof turning Kerfer into the world's first robotic piñata, & to make it even more amusing is as I took the screenshot I was simultaneously traumatized by my first sleep demon #0.0# (initial frames of him appearing just to the left of Kerfer) -Ignore my test subject to the right.
I checked the same place with terrain rendering issues again with FOV set to 130 degrees and now I can see it too:
so it is definitely not related to hardware, just a bug caused by game thinking that player is farther away when on high FOV and loading low quality terrain map instead of normal
Kerfur (standart, not omega) does have some type of object detection, because it is constantly jumping when stuck on something, so I think it will be better to replace the jumping by moving to the side until the path is free again, for example if there is a wall in front of it and it can't jump over it will just follow the right or left side of this wall until it can reach its target without intersecting this wall
like this:
Also I couldn't get the bug with plug teleporting anywhere, when I try to nail it to the ground and retract it it just starts flying around, I also tried it with smaller objects like a microwave, and it also does the same thing, but I noticed that after retracting it nails still remain flying in the air following the microwave:
Oh I think you're right on it with that one as when you zoom it loads higher res & Clicks back to normal.
I feel Kerfer has something along the lines of: Go to x,y,z -If pathing & Velocity is <below certain threshold = Jump. However if you are correct then it would be an extremely viable solution to create a system like you mention, Also fairly easy when you're speaking on a basic level of just moving Kerfer around an object & not completely re-pathing them
Although, A great addition to a Navmesh (Like what I suspect MrDrNose would be using for his entity's navigation) -Would be one of a few different avoidance methods, I found this awesome official UE4 Doc which details such systems & Their implementations & Purposes. It's a lot but I feel it would be very possible to implement & Incorporate something like this to the existing systems (If they are what I assume)
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/InteractiveExperiences/ArtificialIntell...
Also, I haven't been able to test it out but the nails I used were specifically the axle nails which will most likely make a big difference. I even had one of the green garbage bins just clipping through a wall in a circle. But the Kerfer plug incident was extreme in comparison & A lot harder to recreate. The floating nail should move in conjunction to the plug *^-^*
So after a sleep Kerfur (usual one) got stuck under floor in server room. Such things are pretty common with most of the objects, so I'm not complaining here. But would be good to consider some debug option in order to respawn/delete/refund your robotic friend. Amazing and outstanding project btw, I love it no matter the issues I encounter! Hope to see version 1.0 someday :p 
Hello, first comment here.
Not sure if someone already said it, but I think not.
I have noticed 2 weird bugs.
1. Backpack items dissapeared as son as I placed them in it.
I mean, the items were in the backpack, but I cant take them out. I know they are there because the volume is almost full.
2. For some reason, every time I try to fix a server, the "minigame" starts automarking, in the first line, the 2 as result. Making me to exit and enter again until one of the operations is equal 2. Otherwise I cant progress. Unless I sent Kerfur to fix it XD
EDIT! This ONLY happens if I bind the use key to Lateral Mouse 2 (one of the side keys on the mouse) If it is binded back to E, or even Side Mouse, it doesnt happens.
Also, anyway to reset the time record???? I noticed that beating the time gives you extra points. But when you get your bests at 2nd or 3th try...
Thanks and keep it up!
Hi. I don't know if anyone has posted about this already, but one of the signals has a photo of the old base.
Just want to mention before anything further;
My original save before the issue I hadn't cleaned every spot on the map I'm aware of the clean dirt and rubbish options but don't want to take away from the experience by removing all dirt and rubbish everywhere for areas unexplored but also having to redo all the cleaning I spent hours doing so it's a tricky situation.
After having a PC issue and having no choice but to restart (this has happened multiple times with no issues upon re-launching) I had no game audio and the main menu was extremely pixelated. Furthermore, the options settings had everything set to 0. The tutorial wouldn't load properly so I couldn't test my main save. After backing up my original save data files and reinstalling the game I worked out that the data.sav file was causing this issue and I haven't been able to work out the reason for this.
On top of this putting my original save back into the files after deleting the original data.sav and re-launching (creating a fresh data.sav) when choosing my save the Purple and Black Error image is displayed on my save and the warning about the save being built on a different game version shows up. This isn't the case the game has been running on 0.7.0 since I installed it, around 2-3 days ago.
I've attempted to edit the .sav files and compare what's different between the two to see what specifically could be causing the issue but unfortunately I couldn't access or edit the files and I don't know of any other ways to do this besides saveeditoronline.com (Unsupported file format apparently)
That's as much detail as I can add from what I've attempted, really enjoying the game and completely understand it's in alpha so these things are to be expected but hopefully this may help quell the issue so nobody else has it in future.
I have only been playing for a couple days so if some things I mentioned are meant to be the case I apologise for confusing it for being an error etc!
lol do i only have this problem ? evrythin in de acrhived (7zip or what it name de archived too)((pomah=name nothin more))
Omega Kerfur doesn't fix servers. It runs off, gives two "Can't find a broken server" messages, comes back and tries to run off every few seconds if left untouched repeating the cycle
This one got stuck under the floor and I had to continuously turn it on and off until it hit a specific spot and turned over on it's side.
for some reason, when i tripped with a nailed object, one of the nails float in mid-air. i can't interact with it, and i can't grab it with the gravity gun. (also if it helps, i'm in sandbox mode)
