Perhaps this is a silly idea for a post, but I like helping people. It genuinely brings me joy to help others and make others happy. So, I offer this thread to those whom are looking for help or tips for the game. If you want some tips for the game, or just need help/have questions, I will be happy to help if allowed. If I can help you, I will, and I will encourage others to do the same in my place if I can't. 

Here's hoping I can help out others.

Hello, I wanted to ask why YouTubers have a base of only 4 rooms, and I have a base of 10 rooms, how can I fix this? is this some version? (sorry, I'm writing from a translator)

(+6)

Most videos you will see now won't all be up-to-date. The smaller base is the 0.6.3 version of the game, while we are currently in the experimental phase of 0.7.0 and 0.7.0a, whereas we have the bigger base, more content, events and other things.

I understand well, thank you

(+1)

No problem. Happy to help. :)

If this helps anyone, it took me a while to realize, there is an easier way to push and pull heavy objects. Makes moving them around much, much easier. Though they still can't get through doors great, it makes it easier to move them. 

If you hold your sprint key before grabbing an object, you can push and pull it easier. Just make sure you're holding your sprint key while doing so.

I can't play this game because when I click on it nothing happens

Could you explain a bit more? Does trying to launch the game bring up the folder it is installed to or anything?

did you unzip the compressed folder it comes in?

I know two known problems of such kind.

1 - itch downloaded game in zip. And instead of launching the game it just opens folder with it.

Just simply unzip it in the same folder and it will start working.

2 - You can't interact or do nothing in menus in game(main menu or inventory).

It's resolution problem. Main menu use resolution of your screen and work perfectly.

But when you enter the game it will switch to chosen in settings resolution. And for whatever reason it set on 1900x1000 by definition(don't remember correct numbers)

And that twist menus.

Switch to resolution of your screen (or lover if you want). And it will work.

at what resolution

Here's another tip that I've been using for a while. Never go above 70% sleep, unless you feel it's necessary. What you can do is while you are waiting for stuff to process, or when radar dishes are turning, just take a quick nap and wake up when it's done. Repeat this and you will get through your tasks quick. It'll at least pass the time quicker when you have nothing else to do. So long as you're below 70%, you can sleep.

(+3)

Another tip for the day. This one is split into two parts. First, never send out a signal under than 1000 MB. To my knowledge, anything under 1000 will pay less. Second, if your signal is of something other than a planet or asteroid (and that first doesn't apply) don't send it. I believe you won't get paid for signals that could be considered an event or rare. I may be wrong about that one. It may be dependent on what kind of signal it is.

Use your equipment efficiently and you'll find yourself with more money to spend for things you want! Though, this is a lot more helpful late game when you get paid more regardless because of tier 3 processing, it'll still help not use equipment as fast, though, so you aren't spending as much money on things you NEED.

(+6)

I looked into signal glossary, all not random event signals cost 30 for all levels, so it may be better to send signals that caused something to happen when downloaded even on 0 level to get more points. Also, it is better to not send out signals only if they are less than 0,5 MB instead of 1 MB, because most signals that are more than 0,5 MB still cost same amount of points, and all signals that are less than 0,5 MB cost 0 for all levels

(+2)

Thank you for the correction. I wasn't totally sure myself; I was mostly going by feel.

(+4)

Here is another tip for the day. There's a lot of ways to earn money, but selling garbage works in two ways. You can use garbage bags to bag-up garbage piles around the base and the world, and this'll go for quite a bit of money if you bag-up a bunch. However, small pieces of garbage don't go for much, if any at all. You can, however, use these small bits of garbage to craft with. From metal scrap, plastic, paper, you can craft it all from your garbage. 

As an example, you can get plastic scrap from a few empty water bottles. It goes beyond this, though. That gas you use for your ATV? When you run out of gas, two gas cans will make metal scrap, which is very valuable for crafting. You can use this metal scrap for crafting Omega Kerfur, or slots for the Frame, and even Coolers to upgrade said frame. 

Don't go completely overboard with this, however. You'll craft more plastic scrap than you know what to do with, because -- as far as I'm aware -- there isn't much to craft in the game yet, and not much to do at all with plastic. You can craft a few for Omega Kerfur, but otherwise, just sell plastic and paper. it won't be worth much, but it's better than uselessly sitting at base. Unless somebody knows of another recipe with such things that I haven't been able to find.

Really useful stuff for early game. Buying and upgrading a frame is expensive and time consuming, but if you craft enough metal scrap early, you can at least skip the process of having to buying stuff to scrap for the slots, and get at least a cooler or two in with minimal money spent.

(+6)

Another daily tip. Unless you wanna use your bedroom for RP reasons, consider getting yourself a sleeping bag and putting it in your work room. This goes together with my 70% sleeping tip. Waiting for a drone? Waiting for radars to line up to a signal? Waiting for a signal to process, or download? Just take a few steps (or put it right at your chair, do whatever you like with your sleeping bag) take a quick nap and boom, you are getting through your tasks at a fast pace.

Try listening for the beep coming from inside during your naps when the processing has finished, and you can really maximize your time efficiency. Nap on the downtime, and work when there's stuff to be done. Sometimes, it pays to sleep 5% at a time, in case you can't hear you things finish.

(+1)

Good tip but i don't recomend to sleep while waiting for drone.

Because by my research - drone working WAY slower while you sleeping.

In some situations it's not so serious. But i have few times where i send drone with work and fall asleep only to wake up to understand that drone didn't delivered it in time. Even tho there was a plenty of time for it to go there and back few times in a row (=_=)

(+7)

Actually, with this official update, they made the drone properly faster while sleeping. It is so much faster than before in GENERAL. 

(+3)

Daily tip time! (MINOR SPOILERS)

Find yourself running out of food, or wish to spend less money on food? Or perhaps you're trying to feed the plush, and want to be cost efficient in doing so? Consider befriending your friendly neighborhood Aririals! Once they move into their treehouse, try leaving them shrimp once a day, and they will bestow upon you lovely gifts, like daily shrimp, a box of cookies, or even feed you in your sleep with cups of (what I would assume is) blue pudding, that can also restore a bit of your sleep. 

(1 edit) (+5)

info dump on rep system for those who want to know, all learned from experience

You need 20 shrimp packs (300 points) to bring your reputation from 0 (neutral reputation) to 100 (maximum reputation).  It takes double the amount (40 shrimp packs; 600 points) to bring your reputation from -100 (minimum reputation) to 100.  Your reputation with the Aririals starts at 0 and the earliest you can give them shrimp is day 8 during the picnic event (not recommended due to your financial problems this early on).  They'll also stop pranking you when you have a good reputation with them and provide all of the benefits above.

(+2)

Thanks for your contribution to help others. :)

(+1)

Is there a reason for them to be hostile towards the player in the first encounter? I've tried to leave them something at the picnic, but only got smacked with a few plastic cups in the face with popup "-2" twice. They didn't even let me get close, just became agressive. Not only that, but 2 nights after that this popup repeats itself even though i just sit in my base every night, not doing anything. Is there a gameplay reason? Are they stupid, perhaps?

(+1)

The best time to max your Ariral rep is actually at the day 8 picnic.  Any edible item, including organic garbage and spoiled food, gives +2 rep at this time. Cheapest way to max rep is to just leave 50 cookies.  Or more if you want to steal something of theirs from the picnic. (I usually grab the toy warp arrows since this is the only time you can get them) so I leave like 70 cookies to be safe.. Only 70 points to buy. vs shrimp which still only give 2 rep at this time but cost 15 points each.  It's a bit reversed at the treehouse. Shrimp will give +5 rep, while any other edible will only give +0.5.

(+1)

Hi, can you give me advice on where I should leave the shrimps for them? Should I bring them to their tree house?
Thank you so much for what you are doing!

(+1)

Hey, I really appreciate that! To answer your question, you can simply leave the shrimp at the treehouse. I usually leave them up by where they put their beds, but I am not sure if it matters where you put them. If you need confirmation, you can turn on an experimental setting called "Aririal Rep Debug Popup" that will let you know when you influence their friendship.

(+1)

Oh, ok, just recently watched a video with tips that said to leave shrimps near the door of base, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet

Btw, I'd like to ask a question about the door to the room that turns on the lights in the hallway, is there any legal way to find the code for it? This is my second playthrough and I have not been able to find anything other than the pass 1234 note which is not correct. 

(+1)

Really? That's strange. I also started up a new playthrough when the official 0.7.0 came out, and the 1234 note was the passcode to my door. If the issue persists, you could do one of two things: either you can buy lights yourself to light up the hallway, or you could buy a password changer for the door. If it really isn't the code, though, and you haven't done anything to the door, I would advise reporting this as a bug in the pinned thread.

(+4)

Another daily tip! Annoyed at your ATV having a mind of its own? Try going a little slower. I find that the frantic behavior is mostly because of boosting. Use your boosts in short bursts.

(+2)

Not sure if this is true as I'm too lazy to check, but it seems like when you make a time record in solving a server puzzle - you get more points

(+2)

I would check, but beating my record is really hard when I'm really dumb and can't do simple math. lol. I'm sure somebody else can try and factcheck, though.

(+5)

I'm pretty positive you get about 15 points when you get a personal best.
I'm currently at 8.33 seconds, but I'm sure there's some math freak that can make that look like child's play. It'll give you a different sound when it happens, but I'm getting used to the new sounds, so it's gonna take me a bit to be able to identify the regular noise to the "personal best set" noise in order to describe them.
On another note, I'm wondering if there's a way to cheat the system so you can get a boatload of points. Presumably the dev's set some kind of limit to the timer, but I'd be curious to find out what the cap might be. They might also just have the server kick you out of the menu in a later update, so I don't expect it to be a thing for very long.

Anyway, I'm thinking one could wait for some really long period of time, maybe a full minute, maybe something WAY more ridiculous, like an hour - either way, they could slowly work their way up, gradually getting faster and faster the more they complete the servers. It'd mean a LOT of cash, if you do it right.

(+2)

Here is another tip for the day! The backpack is very important if you ever wanna go exploring. It can fit pretty much every tool you can buy within it. Never wanna leave home without a crowbar, but need carrying weight for garbage you wanna sell, or to carry MRE's back home? Whatever it may be, put your tools within your backpack, and save your carrying weight for whatever you may find out there! Happy exploring~ You never know what you might find out there~

(+5)

You can also use these circular garbage bins as an alternative to a backpack, they fit 4 times more than a backpack and take only 303.4 volume, you can't equip them, but you can put one in your backpack, and you can put 4 of them inside 1 of them to create infinite space


(1 edit) (+2)

You can store in a backpack those items that can really be useful in a dangerous situation, like an "go bag", you can also attach several hooks to an ATV, you can attach a large box with balloons to an ATV (you will get a cart), a green trash can infinitely accommodating(This is supposed to be the case), with the help of a green trash can you can easily to transport bricks and more.

Wow. 1000 views on this one thread. I know it's not a big deal, but the more it gets viewed, the more I believe it is genuinely helping others. I promise to keep this thread going as long as I can, to help everyone I can. Once more, if you got any questions or want any tips, feel free to ask, and I encourage anyone to contribute. Thanks for allowing me to help others! :)

Hi. I have a problem with the game, as I understand it, the game sets the render to 0, and does not allow me to change anything by making the screen (Everywhere except the menu) Completely black. Is this some kind of file bug, or did the creator just put a virus for the Russians? (This is a joke, but if it is, then it's sad)

regenerate data.sav button in settings, it's a fairly common issue

I really didn't get it. I can't even finish training to start the main game, and therefore there's nothing to save. Either the translation is wrong

(+1)

in the options of the game there is a button called "regenerate data.sav", as in create from fresh a new data file if that isn't translating right, not an actual game save file
it is on the "game" page of the options, the button is 3 up from the bottom of that page and just labelled "regenerate"

О, кстати у меня тоже эта проблема появилась когда я поставил русификатор, не думал встретить тут русского :3

Thanks for your contribution to help. :)

Thank you very much, friend! I've been trying to fix it myself for 2 days, but it turns out everything is so simple. Thank you very much :3

(1 edit)

Hi! I have the following problem in the game: when I enter the game, ALL the game settings are set to 0 and when I change them and save them, the game resets them anyway. (Everything is fine now, the person above wrote how to solve this problem)

I'm glad this thread could help you. :)

Hi all. When i press the start button, the game restarts. In all modes except training.

How strange. This issue is new to me. Could you explain the situation a bit more?

I found a solution to this problem. Need to switch the language in the game settings :)

Oh, okay. Glad you got it figured out. :)

Daily tip time~! Do you still find yourself getting lost within the world, but wanna keep track of where specific locations are, like the Hole and other places? Try using Beacons from the shop! When activated and placed, they will pop open a compass at the bottom of your screen which will show red markers pointing in the direction you have put the beacon. This will lead you straight to where you wanna go with no tracking required.

You can also see these Beacons on your map, both scanner and the digital will see these markers, and usually show up in purple, if you've purchased the upgrade module to make different entities different colors and such.

So, you want to come back to a location, but aren't sure how to find it normally? Combine this tip with my backpack tip and you got yourself a way to track every location you may come across by accident.

(+1)

It's time for another tip! This may be something most know about by now, but to those whom don't, I think it might just interest you. Are you finding yourself buying a lot of food? Well, if you follow the west side of the riverbank, you will eventually come across a big log in the river. Within that log is a secret barrel with tons of MRE in it. Enough to feed you for a long while, but alternatively, you can also sell all of them and get a BIG boost in money! I'm sure whomever left it there won't mind us taking their treasure~

Pls tell me, how  sell this food?

You need to purchase an item box from the general section of the store. The item box is something you can store things in and send off with the drone to sell the items inside.

Thank you very much. I've only recently started playing this game, but it's great. The only thing is that I don't get the signals very well.

It all comes with time, but if you ever need help, I'm always willing to give more tips and whatnot.

How do I cook the potato? I sliced it open with the knife but it isn't cooking in the microwave and its steaming, how do I fully cook it so Kel won't be like "i dont wanna eat that"?

edit: found out you have to use the portable hot plate to cook it

Time for another tip! Have you crafted yourself an Omega Kerfur? Quite useful, aren't they? Well, as you may know, they can carry things for you, while following you. Ever brought them along on your journeys? Well, you can do a lot of interesting things with his carry feature. Perhaps you'd like him to carry a light for you, like a lantern? Or perhaps you might do something to entertain you on-the-go, like have them carry a radio, or TV, so your adventure is never boring. Omega Kerfur is more than just a workaholic~

How i can craft more Omega Kerfur? Where i can get more radioactive capsule?

You can find a recipe to craft a Radioactive Capsule in the northeast somewhere. It'll be a site surrounded by a fence, that has a hatch in the middle. It'll have a recipe for it. You will need to gather radioactive materials from the cave in the southeast of the map. However, I haven't done this myself quite yet, so if there's a walkthrough, I would recommend looking for one, and preparing a Hazmat Suit.

Интересный факт. Чтобы попасть в бункер не нужно ничего доставать, например карточку и покупать сменщик пароля. Достаточно ввести пароль от первой двери 83719 и от второй двери 74916.

Interesting fact. To get into the bunker, you do not need to take out anything, for example, a card and buy a password changer. It is enough to enter the password for the first door 83719 and the second door 74916.

Как поднять event tier? Как поднять репутацию Эри и чем её нужно кормить (уже живую)?

Well, if it's outside of what I normally do, I am unsure. I don't know everything about the game after all. That's why I encourage others to fill in the blanks for me if they know, so they can help others, too. Hopefully, somebody has the answer for you.

Well, I post this day bearing some bad news... I can't quite seem to think up any more tips! Let me stress that I am no expert that has seen every easter egg, no the game in-and-out, and every hidden mechanic. I'm just a guy whom is trying to help others along with their journey in ways they have helped mine, and by all means, I will continue to help people in whatever way I can.

So, that's all for the daily tips for me, but if anyone else has some tips to share, go ahead and share them! I still want this to be a thread to help people out, whether they are having problems, or just want tips to make their experience better. And hey, if I got any tip ideas, I will share them here, as I always have done.

Until then, as always, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll help in whatever way I can, and if I can't, I hope somebody else can help you. Thanks again, everyone, for letting me help others!

Hey, a little random and off-topic, but you should start a blog on some topic you know well. It'll start slow (like, really slow - 0.5-2 years) but once you start getting your first visits and first cents from the ads, knowing well that you aren't just helping people but also getting a little money for your personal expenses, I'm sure it'll bring you pure joy.

It's relatively easy to launch a WordPress blog today, and won't be much more expensive than a few dollars per month for hosting and domain.

I've never really considered it before. Though, I don't really think there's anything I know THAT much about. I would probably struggle with topics and such. I do like helping people, but I don't think I'd be capable of making it a career choice. I do wanna be an author one day, but that's unrelated to helping people, really.  That, and with my anxiety issues, not getting somewhere for a long time is really discouraging. Besides that, while making money from it would be nice, I don't help people to get anything out of it, y'know?

I like making people happy, and that's my own reward.

I have lived in a game with a reputation of 4 loyal 49 days and have not been able to get the vaccine so far, tell me what exactly needs to be done to get it or how!?

Being honest with you, I'm unsure. I got it fairly early on. (Like day 20 or earlier.) This was before they finished their treehouse, I think. I would usually leave them a few shrimp packs daily. Eventually friendship maxes out, but I do it, because they are my frens.

Why do you want the vaccine.

Что нужно сделать чтобы на радаре квадроцикла показывались красные точки?

Red dots, I'm unsure, I think. You can however see beacons on the radar, if you wish to buy them and mark locations you've been to. You will see those.

Точно! Спасибо!

Always happy to help. :)

The question is, how can I get a signal to receive a purple ariral, what is needed for this?

A purple Ariral?

The signal in question is a random find.  The signal's object is rather unique... the important bit is to not immediately save the signal once it reaches 100%!  Instead, you need to go and collect the collectible, and then you can go back to base and save the signal.

Yes help is always appreciated...., I do not understand why...but the tutorial i got through just fine, but once i started the actual game i made my way to the compound entry door, and i cannot access the door. i click the keypad and for a split second that display pops up and disappears before i can even type in 1111. Do I need to adjust something in settings to make that appear and remain longer? otherwise I am eating mushrooms and burgers i am finding on the grounds everywhere to survive lol. Ay advice would be awesome. -----NOODLES

This seems like it might be a bug. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, but I am unsure what may be causing it. If it helps, try reporting the bug in the pinned bug report thread, and see if someone can help you there. I hope you can figure this issue out, and sorry I couldn't help you more.

hello! I'm really new to the game (literally only on day two). I was wondering how i could clean up the base a little, cus all the garbage gets a bit annoying. i tried putting the trash in a trashbag, but i only seemed to be able to put one scrap per bag. I also saw a comment talking about selling the trash. how would I do that? Thanks!

there is an "item box" in the essentials tab of the store you can use like a drive box to send back items for sale

you can also buy garbage bag rolls from the store that are much more convenient and slightly cheaper per bag

twsm! I didin't expect an awnser so soon. i'll definitely do all that once i get a chance to play again. 

Also, on another note, i just wanna say how i enjoy the game even if I only have like one hour of playtime.

спасибо огромное я давно хотел поиграть 

Команда rep.debug не работает. Я так понимаю, эта команда работает с версии 7.0? У меня 6.3е

Yes. This is a setting to help you track rep with the Arirals, but the rep was not added until 7.0. For it to work, you will have to update.

could you tell me about crafting all the components?

What exactly do you mean? Like, how to make scraps, or is there something you want to make?

what kind of waste the components are made from, for example: metal, plastic or rubber

To make rubber, you can simply scrap soccer balls you can buy from the store, if you have no rubber trash around. Most trash is labelled as a material, so if you have trash, you can turn them into scrap if you have a certain amount. If you have no trash, you can make plastic out of 2 curtains, and electronic out of 4 drives.

Tip 1. Press button del on your numpad to teleport to base. Please use this only if you are stuck or game will know that you are cheating and ban you. If your keyboard is short and you don't have numpad i'm sorry for you.

Нажмите del на нумпаде чтобы телепортироваться на базу. Использовать только если застрял в текстурах или умираешь с голоду далеко от базы или игра узнает и удалит сохранение. Если нумпада нет - мне жаль.

Tip 2. If you lost some unique items like deer skull or you need two of maxwells one to craft cat vacuum cleaner and one to sing for you then: Create another save file and put your items to mail box. Save. Go to main save file and take your items from mail box. Mail box is near the main entrance to your base. This also can be used for cheating. Don't cheat or game will be boring for you.

Если были утеряны уникальные предметы типа черепа оленя или тебе нужно два максвелла чтобы скрафтить котопылесос и еще один чтобы пел то: Создай новый файл сохранения и положи нужные тебе вещи в почтовый ящик. Сохранись. Заходи на основной файл сохранения и забирай свои вещи из этого ящик. Он находится рядом с главным входом на базу. Тут тоже можно найти способ нечестного использования. Не стоит или игра надоест быстрее чем надо.

Tip 3. To avoid fall damage when you are falling strait down press C and become a ragdoll. For some reason you will not take fall damage. This won't work if your ragdoll rolls from some high hill. Also if you went flying on ATV press Esc when you are close to landing and you will not take damage from crushing this way. Your ATV also sometimes won't take damage from crushing if you activate hand brake before it falls or rides into the tree.

Чтобы избежать урона от падения ровно вниз нажми C и стань рэгдолом. По какой-то причине урон от падения не засчитается. Это не сработает если твой рэгдолл катится с какого-нибудь высокого холма, например. Так же если ты высоко взлетел на квадрике нажми Esc когда будешь близок к приземлению чтобы не получить урон от дтп. Квадрик тоже может иногда не получить урон от аварии если включить ручник перед столкновением или падением с высоты.

im having radio trouble currently, I made sure that I had the audio in the correct format but I still cant play them, any ideas why this is happening? (picture of radio) 

Strange.  Does the status say that it is loading forever pretty much? Never plays anything because it doesn't load, perhaps?

yes, but I have no idea why it doesn't load, should I try to change the mp3 files or smth

No. I use MP3 as well. I would say make sure they're formatted correctly and whatnot. Have you gone into your assets file and tested to see if they work in there?

yes, all of them play normally, and I also have no other radios on the base so its not playing out of a diffrent radio or anything

Hmm. I suppose the only thing I could think of is making sure a firewall isn't blocking the game's access to files. Is the radio the only thing not working? Have you tried pictures and stuff?

good news, seems the yt to mp3 converter I was using just didn't comply with VOTV for some reason, used a diffrent converter and they work as usual. Thanks for the help!

Glad you got your issue fixed! Sorry I wasn't able to help more, but I can't help everyone, y'know? Wish I could.

i had the same problem,

Were you using a Youtube to mp3 converter? i just converted the videos using a different site and and the new files were playing correctly

(1 edit)

hmm might be the problem, what converter did you use then so I can test it out

So I have a problem, when I download the game i'll get the file but the file won't work. If you can help me it is greatly appreciated. 

Could you describe this a bit more? What do you mean by the file won't work?

(1 edit)

I see how that was a vague explanation, my bad. What I ment was that when I go to to extract the files its just stuck at zero percent. Hope that explains my situation much better.

Also do you extract the file or not? You usually do that with most games but I just want to be sure.

You would extract the files, yes. If the download is stuck at 0%, I would check to make sure your antivirus or firewall isn't blocking access to the download.

How would I check if they're blocking access to the download?

I am unsure. I would try turning off your antivirus before you initiate the download and see if it makes any progress. If not, you can turn it back on and try something else.

I got it to work, I just had to be more patient in the extracting process. Thank you anyways.

Glad you got it working. :)

do you know something about "solar" gamemode?

Like, how to unlock it? If that's what you mean, you'd either need to get through the story once, or experience the bad sun event for the first time. I am unsure which, but it will be one of those, if not both.

nonono, just asking, because after day 2 gamemode just dont work, the sun is not dealing damage 

Oh. Then I am unaware, unfortunately. Sounds like it might be a bug, but I would make sure, first. If you're SURE that it is never dealing damage to you, I would report the bug within the pinned bug report thread.

Did you equip the Welder's Mask at the hole? If so, I think that mask makes you not take damage from the sun. Make sense, if you consider the requirements for surviving SCP-001 "When Day Breaks", as people had to shield their eyes from the sun.

Was just wondering how selling trash works? As im still very early game and I have seen that it can make a fair bit of money? Im just not sure how to do it

It's actually pretty simple. You buy trash bags or rolls from the store (you'll get more bang for your buck by buying rolls) you collect the trash into the bags, collect them into your inventory, put them into an Item Box (which you can buy from the shop in the Essentials tab) and then send it out the same way you'd send drives. Profit! 

are there any free item boxes?

(1 edit)

No. You will always need to buy them, but they are fairly cheap, so it shouldn't be a problem.

alright thank you

Always happy to help.

I'm just wondering how to get the game running because I've been stuck trying to get it to work 

Could you explain what's been going wrong?

I just got a laptop yesterday and I want to download a fun game so I chose this game. im a bit new to trying to download & play games so a basic step by step could work wonders. also the laptop is a windows touchscreen laptop from possibly 2020-2022  in case i have to say what type of laptop it is.

Okay, I'll try my best. Are you using Itch on the browser or the app?

On the browser 

Okay. First thing first. Do you own 7-Zip? You will need this program to unpack the files the game downloads with.

okay I have it and went to download what do I do next?

Particularly, you want to download the 7.0.0 update. 7.0.0b3 was a beta of the 7.0.0 update, and has bugs that were fixed in the official release.

I tried looking for 7.0.0 but I can't find it only the 7.0.0b3 one. Will that work?

It would work, but it isn't what I would recommend. Strangely, I cannot find a way to find the 7.0.0 file, and the dev must've not put it up or something. It would be a bit easier to do it through the Itch app, as you have the option to download updates more easily, and will let you know when updates go live for games. If you don't want to do that, we can just do it this way, but if you'd rather get the app and update the game that way, it should be a simple set up.

Hi, I have a problem: why i can't I lift the sockets in the game?

(1 edit)


I'm on version 0.7.0

Lift the sockets? The plugs for electronics?

Yes!

Are you sure you're on the official 0.7.0 update? The plugs for electronics were fixed in the recent updates.

Help me please

What do you need help with?

Whenever i try to open the front door of the base it opens slightly then closes how do i fix this?

This is likely related to an event in-game. Go through your garage.

yes i found it out thank you. You are very helpful from what ive seen

I appreciate that. I do try my best to help everyone I can. It brings me happiness to help others out and make them happy, so as long as I can help, I am happy.

Yeah I downloaded the game and went through the things and found votv. ede and tried opening it but it said 

C:\Users\MYNAME~1\AppData\Local\Temp\7zOC826FF19\VotV\Binaries\ Win64\VotV-Win64-Shiping.exe" VotV CreateProcess() returned 2. 

This keeps showing up when I try opening the game with 7zip so how do I fix it?

Is it still in the zip folder?

I got it to work now thanks.

Also I got another issue the game and mouse having a few inches of the button you want to actually get into and out of the menus in it

I don't seem to understand. Could you explain the problem a bit more?

it's like the mouse just move like one inch or several inches away from where your mouse is actually at after pressing start game and play select game and either get into inventory or pause menu my mouse placement is the same but the mouse is in one spot but the system or something believes it is a certain point in a different part of the screen. Either it's just a issue that is only happening to me or something else.

Hmm. This sounds like it might be a resolution issue. It could be possible. Try making sure the game is applying the correct resolution of your monitor. If it's correct, try changing the window mode. If it's windowed, change it to fullscreen and back. If it's fullscreen, change it to windowed and back. See if that does anything for your cursor problem.

Hello, to be honest, I don't even know how to describe the problem. After starting the game, it resets all settings, and the training has one black screen. (I am writing from a translator)

This is actually a common issue that the main page FAQ can help you with. Simply go to your settings, and under the Game category, look for Regenerate data.sav. Click that and it should fix your issue.

Thank you so much, now I can play this space project =)

Always happy to help. :)

whats with this vent in the stairwell is it a secret or something because i can interact with it

I am unsure. As far as I'm aware, it isn't anything special.

okay thank you

you can pull it off with a certain tool for heavy lifting... there is no purpose in doing so, but you get a very large and invincible prop object you can collide with, which has lots of potential for shenanigans 

Try shooting at it with the powerwasher. That should easily dislodge it.

I am genuinely surprised on how much I've been able to help people. I know this post is kind of unnecessary, but it really warms my heart to see how many I have helped over the time this thread has been up. Thanks to everyone for allowing me to help. I will continue to do my best to help who I can. :)

Here is another tip! May be a bit barebones, but it'll help you in the long run. Experiment with how much each food item feeds you. If you got spare money, don't be afraid to try something new. There might be something that is worth spending money on more than MRE's and such.

food boxes give the most food per volume in your inventory, shrimp gives the most food for the least amount of money.

What Are these weird face looking wisps and are they dangerous ?(there is no info on them in the wiki)

When do these faces show up?

(7 edits)

they appear when you approach the obelisk and return to your base according to my experience, you might see one passing by your base. they glow like wisps but look like three dots arranged into a face 2 dots on top like eyes and one dot on the bottom like a mouth

they are also capable of destroying your omega kerfur,

  the strange wisp looks like this: O           O

                                                                                O

Ah, right. These are wisps that will literally tear you apart if they get to you. Keep your distance and keep your Kerfur safe. Eventually, a game event will come by that'll remove them from the world.

that's a rendering error, they're supposed to be a big ball of firey light, I have the same issue too sometimes

(2 edits)

ok well they are not a problem anymore cuz the big pyramid dude zapped them away

another question  is the rendering glitch showing the wisps true face or is it just a placeholder wisp face

also i cant find the air rune slab its not on the pylon, i checked every transformer too

After extracting the game with 7z (Whatever it's called) the game will start for about 10 seconds before just freezing. There is no "VotV has stopped working" Message, or anything of the sort. I'd really like to play this game, but it's a bit difficult if I can't even see past the loading.

I would say make sure your firewall isn't blocking access to the game when it loads. See if that gets you any results.

помогите с настройкой графики, почти все параметры на максимум стоят. От всех текстур в игре при движении идёт шлейф (текст расплывается, только если приблизить глазами то не плывет, трава и прочее оставляет короткий шлейф) когда пингуешь сателлиты тотпросто сплошной столб из непонятного. Размытие в движении отключено.

I unfortunately don't know enough about graphics to know exactly what is causing the trails and whatnot. I would recommend not having everything set to max. Try defaulting things and work up settings one at a time to find a comfy spot for it. You're never going to get great graphics out of the game anyway, so there's little point to go overboard.

Posters  do not work with jpegs

i dont know why 

You can try converting your pictures in question to PNG's. They work.

thx for the help!

Always happy to help. :)

I don't understand how yellow wisps react like do they dissapear when loading a save, dissapear during morning and how close do you have to be to them for them to start following you because i have been killed multiple times by them because they just float through my doors and get into my base

simply hide or keep your distance, they appear in waves and go wherever they please. There is many ways to avoid them and besides being relatively fast they aren't that dangerous if you're aware of them and act appropriately, and they have a very large audio radius to warn you when they're approaching even if you can't see them.

Does setting the days backwards on your save break anything cuz im stuck on day 49 and it wont change + its always monday.

As far as I'm aware, if the day isn't changing, then you've likely experienced everything the story has to offer currently. To answer your question, reverting your day to a previous one shouldn't break anything, but I don't believe it'll save anything you had; you would just be starting a new game from that day, unless I did it wrong in the past.

oh well i dont wanna risk it, and the reason i aksed this question is because i missed a few events because i accidentally started on day 23

how can i get the  torrent to work  it always shows an error mesage

Could you explain or screenshot the error you're getting?

well my computer is czechian but ill try

(1 edit)

it says "cant load "pa07_0011"unknown error"

Have you installed 7-Zip? If you don't own 7-Zip, you won't be able to unpack the file.

(1 edit)

ill try getting it

still doesnt work i think im just gonna wait for it to get on steam

Could you explain exactly what's happening when you're trying to download it?

I have a problem with servers on the satellite dish - when i go fix the uncalibrated one i see it turned off. I've seen in other people's videos it should glow red when it is uncalibrated, but in my case it does not glow at all, like there is no electricity in the satellite dish. I am on 0.6.3 version btw.

If there are certain power systems turned off in your base, it can turn off servers and computer terminals. Make sure everything is powered on.

Thanks a lot! it helped

Always happy to help. :)

um maybe an stupid question but how do you fish in the game? theres those "bait" "lure" boxes that you can buy in the store, i both them and went to the water but no mater what buton i press nothing hapened, is it like still unfinished or something?

(+1)

You also need the fishing rod. However, you can only find this, and not buy it. First, you'll need the portable map, and you'll need to find a work area surrounded by a fence somewhere in the north-east part of the map. You will find a note there written in German, but it'll also have coordinates on it. After that, follow the coordinates with your map and bring a shovel. Should you find the coordinates, you'll find a site where you can dig up the fishing rod.

Ty i will try to find it<3
also i have a question does anyone know how to get the card from the bunker next to the base bc i want to build omega kerfus but i cant open the bunker to get the blueprint:(

You need a grappling hook. You can purchase them from the store. There will be a slit you can look through, on the back of the bunker. The card will be on the stairs, which you can grab and pull to your with the grapple. After you get the card and open the first door, you will need a password changer for the second door at the bottom, and then you'll be inside, and can get your omega recipe. 

(WARNING: Practice with the grappling hook first, if you don't know how it works yet. You could very well throw it and lose it if you don't use it correctly, and you'll have to buy another.)

Hi, I would like to ask me if the event with 4 rays in the sky has been running for 49 days and does not change further. I have updated version 0.7. I have seen many youtubers have a new version with other modes. Tell me where to get a more recent version on the site I cannot find (I am writing this through a translator) 

You're asking how to get the event to end, or how to get a new version of the game? 0.7.0 is the most recent version of the game. So long as you're not still in the experimental branch, you should have the most recent version.

I would like to know how to end this event and for some reason the days do not go beyond 49 days ( I write Russian through a translator)

You can end the event by jumping down the hole, where the lasers are coming from. Be aware that enemies will be around, so be careful. If you're quick, you can make it easy. Simply jump down the hole and upon reaching the bottom, you'll be teleporter back to spawn and the event would have ended. Be sure not to touch the central laser, as well, as it will kill you on contact.

It got bogged down, I already jumped there, there is no main laser and there are no enemies, too, maybe it's because I threw an ATV there

Hmm. Strange. And this is when the purple lasers are shooting up into the sky, right? I want to be sure I am not mistaken on which event this is. Or have you gotten past the problem now?

Я забыл сказать я пытался туда спустится но пару раз задел лазер и начанал все сначала после этого лазер пропал

I'm from Russia. Can you help me? When I try to write a hash code from the stations, if I get an o or 0, I can't figure out what to write (I'm playing on the bottom of the graph) is there any way to change the sprite of displaying zero or the letter o

I don't think so. Just think of it as the codes we normally use in real life, as we never use O's in codes. It'll always be the number 0. Hope this helps.

yes, I understand what you're talking about, it's just that when I look for 0 or oh in hash codes, I always make mistakes and the codes don't count

Well, unfortunately, I don't think I can help with that much, unless somebody else knows how to change those kinds of things. All I can really say is try to remember that it is the number, and never the letter. And later on, when you can make an Omega Kerfur, you can just have them do that duty for you.

Hi! I want to ask if you know how to fix the "Fatal error" error, which causes the game to crash for some reason...

if you know how to fix it, then please answer this question. (I am writing through a translator)

I unfortunately do not. Is there any events that lead up to this crash? This could also be caused by certain settings. I basically never modified my stuff and I never end up crashing, so I am unsure what setting could cause it -- if that is the case.

Okay... thanks for the answer, I will look for information on how to fix it

(1 edit)

I try my best, but I can't fix every issue. I'm sorry I couldn't help you further, but do let me know if you fix it, so we can help others with this issue down the line if it comes up again!

how do I unlock sandbox mode? thx

(+1)

You have to go through the full story at least once to unlock Sandbox.

I saw a  lot of good things about this game but i honestly can't play, even the tutorial. The 0-9 hotkeys don't work, if i hit the windows key it windows  the game but in a corner and i have to restart the game, and there's so so many keys and combos i have no idea how that would work in a faster paced environment. Will have to wait for the alpha or full release :((

Strange. It hasn't been that hard on my end. It's not as fast as you may think, too. I don't think there's ever a time when you're being rushed to do anything. Most combos are just item and inventory management, anyway, so it's not too important. You can always take the simpler route for that one. The number keys not working is strange, though. Have you tried looking through your controls to make sure everything is set properly? And the windows key thing, well, I am unsure how this could be common for you, BUT, a possible workaround would be to set your fullscreen mode to Fullscreen Borderless. This may help the fullscreen remain so, while stuff is layered on top.

I figured the hotkey things, i was  in azerty so i had to rename the keys  in  settings. But for the  windows  thing its a bit annoying, i had  checked the setting and didnt find the  fullscreen setting but i'll look tomorrow/ Just finished the tutorial, the signal thing is really hard to understand but now that I know that theres  no  rush i can play and keep being dumb while not being stressed by time. Thanks  for your help, I hope it'll be  easier as I play!

It'll definitely get easier. Don't worry. Things aren't nearly as complex as they seem, and they'll become second nature eventually. And if you ever need help with anything else, I'm always willing to help.

Can i have some tips on where to put the 12 shrimp packs to get cyan argemia,  im planning on getting it and i dont know the specific location to place the shrimp

also when i try to print the hexagon for white argemia it just says "no  collision geometry detected" and "error importing the model"

i need a bit of help with this i guess

I'm actually unsure myself. I haven't done everything with those yet, so hopefully somebody else can help. I'm sure someone has done it before.

(3 edits)

UPDATE: i got it! i found a tutorial on the voices of the void reddit you just gotta put 12 shrimp packs in the pool in the central room and blow them up.

Collection update:

A fine collection, indeed.

thx!

How do you get your reputation down during very early game? I see that there are some events that activate at the Mean tier at the early state of the game (around 10 days-ish), how do I get the reputation all the way down to Mean tier as early as possible?

I am unsure, honestly. As far as I know, the only thing that really messes with them is trying to take their stuff when they start setting up their treehouse.

I think i came up with an idea how. Basically, on day 1, go to the console and type ariral.pls and swing your crowbar at them through a wall repeatedly, like this.

(4 edits)

Can i have some help with white argemia the 3d printer doesnt want to cooperate


did i mess something up in blender? because i used the turtorial from three cats in a raincoat

i also need a gold bar for golden argemia and with my luck theres no way of getting one without needing help

Unfortunately, I'm unexperienced in how to use the printer. I know there's an in-game tutorial for it in the options, under the hints section. If you already refer to it, though, I'm unsure what else to say. I wish I could help more, but I'm not sure how to get it working myself.

(2 edits)

i got the printer working! i just had to make another hexagon in blender and add the UCX_ thing

Well, I'm glad you got it figured out. Sorry I couldn't help more.

(1 edit)

Ok  I have a new problem now!I can't use my mouse in menus. Can't save or use any button of the pause screen, as well click in my inventory. Also when I came  to my base I couldnt switch the lights on inside so n idea what i had to do when i got there

EDIT:  so i use 2 monitors. Which caused the screen to be halfway through both monitors while only showing on one. I disconnected the second one, and it fixed the issue but playing on oonly one monitor (my main) created  the issue above. BUT when i use both monitors it takes care of said issue , but  its still unplayable cuz i have like, half the screen working. So idk what to do T-T

Okay, so you figured out what causes the mouse issue. When you fix that, you're still having the light issue? Just wanna be sure I'm getting that right.

(1 edit)

No no the light  issue is irrelevant, it  was  a one  time bug. Basically if i sum it up: when i have the screen issue i dont have the mouse issue, and  when i have a normal screen i have the mouse issue

Hmm. Strange. Have you tried different window modes, like Borderless Windowed, and normal Fullscreen? Borderless Windows are usually good for dual-monitor setups.

(1 edit)

There is no option in the game for it :(( at least i looked for it and it wasnt there (and idk where i could change that directly on my pc knowing its already borderless so i dont have access the usual close/reduce buttons)

There should be a tick box in the visuals somewhere to switch it from normal fullscreen to borderless. Now that you mention it, there may not be a windowed mode, and I remembered that wrong. I apologize for that. If you already tried the tick box, though, I would say make sure your resolution is set correctly. Or -- in games that have done this to me before -- try resetting from fullscreen to borderless, or the other way around and see if that improves at all.

I found the problem :) It was the resolution. Havent tried w 2 monitors yet but 1 is working. Thanks a lot!!

The game is definitely confusing and theres a lot to do but im starting to find a rythm, and i have to google lots of stuff but its ok. Thanks again!

Good! Glad you got the problem fixed up. And hey, if you ever need tips or help, you can always ask.

Is maxwell still in the game?

Should be.

I'm curious if it's worth it to sell extra drives. I'm at a point where I'm processing more signals than I am outputting, and there's two "special" level 0 signals I have that I would like to have sent but I don't want to fuck up the daily report either. I also just don't know if sending another box does anything

(+1)

The more you send out, the better your weekly review will be, basically. If you're making a comfortable amount of money, though, it's just extra. You don't have to send EVERYTHING out. Especially low rank stuff. You will not get paid for anything level 0 or special, I believe. Try to avoid sending anything under 0.5 MB's, as they're usually not good enough for good money, or usually end up special in some way. Anything else, you can send for extra money if you want to.

How do I get rid of the wasps (not wisps)? I've destroyed their nest, but they're still buzzing around the area I destroyed it at.

I'm unsure. Back when I found a nest for the first time, I don't think wasps were a thing yet.  For all I know, you can't, but there may be an item that can deal with them. Just not sure which.

(+1)

a curtain has somehow clipped halfway into my floor are there any tips on getting it out

(+1)

I am actually unsure. Going back to menu and loading back in might help, as it usually has to reload props and stuff, which may or may not get it unstuck. If that doesn't help, I think there's a way to regen props and stuff in the settings, but I can't remember for sure.

If grabbing and pulling the hell out of it doesn't work, best bet is to reload the save. I got my boy Kerfur stuck under the base and was able to wrangle him out from under it with a bit of time.

(+1)

i got it out! i used my broomba to collect it and that worked so yay i guess.

good forward thinking!

(+1)

Do you have any tips for the cleaning? i'm a beginner.

(+1)

you should buy garbage bag rolls for big garbage, use the broom to move small items such as paper trash, plastic trash, metal trash to the workbench and make them into more useful stuff, you should sell the filled garbage bags, wooden scrap, paper scrap and you should also sell small useless items that you can't craft with such as empty yogurt packages, empty shrimp packs

(+1)

Thanks

(+3)

Garbage bag rolls are a scam. They waste extra points compared to just buying multiple single garbage bags at a time.

TRUE the only real purpose is to conserve inventory volume i THINK, but it's a tax of 3 points. Which is crazy too, since there's also separate items for pieces of paper from notebooks, but there's no price difference between those

I basically buy a buncha garbage bags, clean up what I can, then sell em with an item box. For the little trash, I try to have my roomba run a day shift around a room to pick up the lil bits, but that can be hard when you still have trash piles around the base.

(+1)

thx

(+2)

I feel like an idiot, but how do you use the bait when fishing? I've seen videos where people have bait on their line but it feels like no matter what I do I just can't use anything.

(+3)

Hold the fishing rod, look directly at fishing bait, and right click on it.

so im very new to the game   but when i start it up its fine, the menu is fine but when i get into the tutorial the game freezes and i hear the character move when i press wasd, but when i press windows or switch to another tab i can see the game moving , same with the pause menu.

(+1)

Hmm. Strange. I would make sure your resolution and window mode is set correctly and see if that helps your issue.

(+1)

there is some weird black artifacting issues with lighting and shadows- try turning shadows and lighting settings to minimum (or all settings to minimum, frankly, and switch to windowed mode)

normally I'd say it's a driver/incompatible hardware issue, but the fact you can see the game moving in its tab is sus

(+1)

try going to settings>game and pressing "regenerate data.sav" button

how do i prevent things from unnailing themselves when i reload a save it only happens with certain things

If it's only certain things, it might be a bug. 

(1 edit)

I need some help on with the burgers

I cant find the one under the bridge it just isnt there same for the one in the grass near the base and idk where the 3rd one is prob the server one which i also cant find

so i only have found 18

Are you following a guide? There could be a few reasons for this. You could be playing a recent version and the guide is outdated, and it was moved elsewhere. If not, perhaps it got bugged and you may need to regen the world's objects. I believe that's a thing.

(1 edit)

how do i get the game working it is giving my GPU outdated error how do i fix it? the error is saying A D3D11-compatible GPU (feature  level 11.0, shader model 5.0) is required to run the engine

(+2)

What kind of GPU do you have?

(+1)

You probably have a gpu that doesn't support D3D11 unfortunately

how do i enable cheats?

As far as I'm aware, they're only available in Sandbox mode.

how do you fish with lure

I know the basics of fishings but how do you use fish lure i can’t find anything about it online pleas help me

(+1)

Well, if you have the rod, you need to buy bait in the store. To my knowledge, you just need to  drag the bait onto the hook of the rod. If it's not done like that, I'll have to look into it more.

I love helping people and making them happy. If you need tips, advice, or have questions about the game, feel free to ask here. I'll do my best to assist, and if I can't, I'll encourage others to help.

whats the 0.8 secret tutorial door code

[btw I'm new to the game] So basically, I'm trying to sell drives, but when I call a drone it doesn't work. I don't know what's happening because the tower is online.

In the most recent update, the drone delivery point has been moved to the loading dock area just outside the garage door.  Also, make sure not to have anything else near the drive box, else the drone might not come.

Is there anyone who knows how to prevent inventory reversal on reload?
for example, say you trip down a mountain and die. you reload the save and your inventory is gone on your hotbar. checking your inventory by hitting tab repopulates it, but reverses it.

I like having my items in a certain order, but have to re-order my stuff every time. 
is there anyway to prevent this?

(+1)

I've noticed that the items are normally there, but it usually doesn't show them. Maybe it's just in my experience, but say I'm holding a paper in slot 1, and a radar in 2, if I hit those numbers upon reload, they should still be there, even if the hotbar looks empty.

(+1)(-1)

I just went to the place where the radioactive capsule was buried when suddenly something killed me 

1. I have disabled damage in the settings

2. I didn't dig out the capsule, it probably does damage even when buried, but then why disabling damage doesn't help me, I don't understand

(1 edit) (+7)

As far as my understanding goes, disabling damage just disables fall damage. You can still die to any other source, including fire, explosives, lasers, and... Well... Your neighbors. If you want to dig it out safely, buy a Hazmat Suit first. This will also prevent cancer buildup.

(+1)

I'm relatively slow when it comes to computer stuff and I know that you have to have 7 zip to extract and run the game, but my main concern has sorta been if 7 zip is generally safe to have on my computer if I don't exactly have an antivirus. I'm usually very wary of downloading things and taking tons of extra steps not to click on anything even remotely sketchy, so any info on it could really help as I've always loved seeing this game through it's development so far and I've wanted to finally play it myself.

(+1)

No worries. I know it's common to be anxious about such things, but 7 Zip is totally safe. It merely serves as a program to enter compressed files and such. If anything, I'm surprised such programs aren't default on Windows nowadays. You'll probably forget you even have the program once you install it, because all it does is allow you to access these files that we download. It's used a lot in the indie game community.

Thanks for the pointers, it's really really appreciated. Though I'm kinda stuck after downloading the game and 7 zip, I've seen people say its a folder but for me it shows as a 7z file and not a folder. Do I have to extract that file to somewhere?

When you go into the 7-Zip file, you'll find the folders and files for the game. You can make a folder on your desktop if you like, then drag the zip file into it. Afterward, you can right click on the 7-Zip file, and click "Extract Here." That will extract the files within the Zip into the folder. Within those files, you'll find the game application, and can run the game from there.

=\

this is why you can open 7z by default on newer versions of windows 11

Ok this might be dumb but  how do I unequip the backpack?

Open your inventory and at the top there will be a button "equipped"

Thank you

Helloo, I just dowloaded the game and I'm kinda stuck in the tutorial :c
I did the objects part and everything but when it comes to the signal stuff I just can't get past step 2 of calibration of frecuecy and polarities. It seems to pick up the image of the planet although it doesn't download the data. Idk what to do and I really want to play this game.

PD: Also I noticed from a prior post in this thread that the game needs to be in zip file, problem (maybe) is that i get a RAR file, idk if this matters but still.

In order to download the signal, you need to also tinker with the frequencies, to get the yellow numbers as close to 100 as possible. (Usually, try to at least get them to 99, imo.) To do this, you have two, horizontal rows of knobs. You hold interact on these, and use the mousewheel to change which way the frequencies go, either negatively or positively.

With the top, it'll go either left or right, depending on which. When you get close to the spot you are meant to get to, the yellow number will go up, and go down if you get further from it. If the frequency goes in a full circle, and the yellow number isn't affected, you need to hit the red switch that'll be to the left of the top, horizontal row. This will change its method, and require you to do so, until you find the right frequency. Repeat, until the yellow number is affected, then get it as close to 100 as possible.

With the bottom row, it is a lot simpler. It goes between 0 to 1000, and between those numbers, you'll find the area you need to be close to, to affect the yellow number. Simply find the number, and then that's it. When you get both of these methods close to 100, the signal will begin to download.

I tried it and it worked!!!
Thank you so much for your help :DDDD

I try my best to help whoever I can. :)

Hello, I have 2 questions: 

1) Which items do you recommend to sell? I have my beginner list, but more experienced players can add more stuff I guess:

  • filled trash bags,
  • paper trash items and paper scraps (although I've red somewhere it's more profitable to sell individual items rather then scraps from it),
  • all the protection and repair CDs, 
  • rocks,
  • fire extinguishers

2) Which items do you recommend NOT to sell (and why)? Again, please expand my list: 

  • wooden trash, coal (could be used for making your own ATV fuel in v0.8)
  • plastic, electrical, metal and rubber scraps - and items needed for crafting them like empty bottles etc. (needed for crafting Kerfur-Omega)
  • radioactive capsule (needed for crafting Kerfur-Omega)

Thank you for your tips :-)

Well, something you can actually sell for a pretty penny is MRE's. Though I'm not sure of everything you can sell, as trash is usually most profitable. However, there's an MRE barrel you can find within a log in the river, containing 50 MRE's. You can sell those for a HEFTY sum of money.

TIP: Not 100 % sure, but it looks like when pinging the signal, you don't need to be exactly in the middle of the circle. Just ping it anywhere inside of the circle and you are fine. It doesn't change the probability of successful ping. 

It is important that the value falls within the green circle.

What do you mean by "the value" ?

Sorry for my bad translator. I meant the signal itself should be in the green circle.

Question: Is there more efficient way to put items into boxes / backpacks / bins? 

I mean, currently when I want to put an item from the ground into a box and then transfer the full box somewhere else, I need to: 

  1. Put the box on the ground. 
  2. Click on the item on the ground and put it into my inventory. 
  3. Click on the box on the ground and "use" it. 
  4. Transfer items from the inventory into the box. 
  5. Hold the box so I can transfer it elsewhere. 

This is so frustrating when e.g. cleaning the base. I wish there could be better way like: "Hold the box → left click on the item on the ground → it's inside the box now!".

I would recommend giving mods a try, via the R2Modman client. There are mods to bulk move items, and it may not be perfect, but it is very nice. Lots of other quality of life mods in there if you'd like to check them out.

TIP: When you grab something, while pressing the "E" button, you can press "R" and your character will start to hold it. This is useful for items like drive boxes which couldn't be hold normally via the item menu.
