Write what  you think about the 0.8.1 build - suggestions, thoughts etc

I think it would be sick if there was an entity that was one of the grays ufos, but it chases and tries to abduct you. (It could just be attracted to your flashlight or atv light)

(1 edit) (+2)(-19)

My Suggestion is  add a entity type zombie and  a gun

(+11)

Holy KerfurO craft changes, I hope he's more durable cause if not yikes. 

(+10)

Wonderful game, having a lot of fun with it.

I'd love a confirmation prompt when quitting to main menu. e.g. "Save & Quit / Don't Save / Cancel" style

It would also be nice to have the camera automatically center itself forward while accelerating on the ATV, if the mouse hasn't moved in a few seconds. Less time fiddling with the mouse so i can focus on not crashing into trees

(+1)(-1)

The game is great, but it annoys me that very often my data.sav file breaks, and after that my save is permanently delete

(+4)

can cure gaming impotence

(-6)

Spooky scary update, kinda late but its good. Pleeease add the Makarov gun as a working firearm and with manual reloading such as loading bullets manually.

Guns won't ever happen, there will be alternative ranged weapons but no actual guns outside of sandbox mode.

(-3)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(+2)

Guns would be way too powerful. If just a nail gun could break wheels on murderfur, imagine how actual guns would affect the game?

Counter point: Unreal Unlocker says: Summon prop_fungun_(gun name here)_c

Like I said, no guns outside of Sandbox mode. You can obviously just mailbox them from a sandbox save or cheat them in with unlocker and nobody is stopping you, but you won't just be getting a gun in normal story mode.

yeah that makes sense. Can't obtain them without cheats or mailbox, I see your point now.

(+24)

Dear mrdrnose, please add battery charge percentages to the inventory, otherwise it is unclear which ones are charged and which ones are not. I would also like to change the name of torn off pieces of paper and for notes found in the world to have their own names and not be connected together with your notes. The same applies to notebooks so that they do not connect in one place, because I use one notebook as a notebook, and the other for reports. Thank you for your work

(+12)

At the very least a battery with 0 charge should be relabeled so it doesn't stack with batteries that have charge.

(1 edit) (+2)

YES

(+6)

"Battery (dead)" would be a nice differentiating nametag

(+1)(-3)

I cannot use gun.... I CANNOT USE THE GUN (the one you can spawn in via console commands)

(+2)

Enable "Extreme combat" in Experimental settings, it reenables the usage of more extreme weaponry.

(+2)

Yhea, I actually found that out just now, and was gonna retract my previous statement

thank you for the information

(+6)(-1)

Please add universal remotes back! They were very fun to use! At least as a fun settings thing. 3':

(6 edits) (+2)(-7)

The tutorial is super unclear. I never figured out for sure what to do with negatives or results over ten because of the unclear language used. I could never figure out exactly what I was doing wrong because I've never been able to isolate just a negative/over ten result. I assume the "tenths" column would be zero? 

EDIT: After going in and out of the tutorial servers until getting something testable, I can confirm that it wants the unsigned result. I assume the way it's wrapped in MOD is supposed to hint at that, but I don't know what operator that could be referring to, as the only thing I can think of is modulo, which returns the remainder of a division.
EDIT of EDIT: I forgot that || is absolute value notation. MOD, here, is still totally lost on me, though.

EDIT2: So, after trying again and again, I can only conclude that this must be broken. Neither zero nor nine seem to work for over-ten results, and I can't figure out what else "tenths" might refer to.

EDIT3: The tenths column is the final digit of the result. DAMN.

An easy way to clarify this would be to add the expected result to the examples.

1 + 1 = 2 = 2

1 - 2 = -1 = 1

8 + 8 = 16 = 6

(+6)(-1)

The game literally tells you how to do this. If you get a number higher than 10 then you would just put the number in the ones place as your answer, so 11 would be 1 and 12 would be 2, so on and so forth. you will never have a negative either because regardless of what the math says you always take the bigger number minus the smaller one.

(-5)

Bruh, lmao. The exact words in the tutorial are "simply remove the tenths column." In hindsight I understand this, but the meaning of the words specifically is unclear, especially in the use of the word "column." This led me to think it was referring to one of the columns on the screen, as that's designed in rows and columns similar to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet comparison is made stronger by the use of MOD(), which, unless it has some secondary meaning, is nonsensical.

As for the second point, you got the correct answer, but the way you're doing it isn't mathematically correct. It's the result of an unnecessary simplification without an understanding of the operations. It also flies directly in the face of the tutorial text, which specifically provides a negative result as an example. This is also another point that's unclear, as it doesn't explain that it expects the absolute value, I didn't remember that 1-8=-7 but |1-8|=7, and many people won't know that an equation surrounded by pipes means absolute value. On top of that, the include of MOD() around the equation threw me off even more because I was trying to figure out how a broken modulo operation fits in.

So, no, the game does not literally tell you how to do this. There are gaps in the explanation of what's wanted.

(-4)

It's supposed to be hard. If it'd be fully explained, wouldn't be any fun

(2 edits) (+5)(-2)

Hard and obtuse are totally different things. Incomplete/unclear instructions impose false difficulty at best, and there's no fun in that.

It was also confusing for me, but as I saw mod|..| I immediately understood that it means |..| mod 10

(+4)(-2)

Loving the new visible player model for kel. I've always been a fan of seeing my feet when i look down, although seeing my own face when i look up is new. Lol also the new door mechanics are great. The fridge door especially was always a pain in the ass but not anymore. And the Velma setting is interesting... very cool idea and i'm going to continue playing on it with tripping on props because why not. lol I also really like the color dither setting as setting it lower looks almost like an old recorded video. I've only played a bit and it's been good so far.

(-1)

A trail camera. It's really just one of the ideas i'm not sure you were going to add to the game or not.

(+2)

Please swap the up & down controls of the witch's broom. it is super jarring to hit S while flying it and have it nose me down into the ground

(I imagine the broom will either go away after halloween, which i hope not because it is a fun endgame thing, but i assume these controls will be reused for doing funny ATV stunts in the air at a later point so)

(+3)

Backing up against a wall sometimes lifts the player model, lol.

i've never had problems with calall, what exactly is happening when you input that? A lot of the fences can be climbed by double tapping jump while in midair and facing the fence, but the ones on the border are only able to be jumped in certain spots. There is a hole in the metal grate on the "dam" that blocks the river on either side of the map. you can easily get out of the main area by going through those holes and Kerfus can even come with if you want. lol

Что стало с рецептом Керфура Омеги? Теперь в книжке пусто. Из рецепта по памяти получается одна часть. Что произошло?

Что блин происходит с английским переводом ниже?

-------------------------------------

What happened to the Kerfour Omega recipe? Now <span class="EzKURWReUAB5oZgtQNkl" data-src-align="43:1" <the<="" span=""> book</span> is empty. One part of the recipe is obtained from memory. What happened?


Теперь там должен быть блокнот с полным рецептом

(2 edits) (+3)(-4)

suggestions:

i think you should add maybe a physical shop. like you need to wiat on the bus stop or smth. 

maybe also add new atv reapir system that would be good instead of just punching it with the atv repair kit. 

and also some kind of an energetic drink like a redbull or smth.

a walkman with casettes like a music on the go without the raido.

a vhs tape that you can randomly dig out and put into the medium tv.

feedback:

also thanks for adding the polaroid i love theese cameras. And you have made polaroid fit into the game so good job.

Now the wood chipper can no longer chip wooden debris, while it still works with wooden scrap and mannequins. I tested this on multiple modes. I assume this is a bug and not a feature.

Total Volume is shown as 0 for all boxes, upon reloading the game. Taking an item in/out fixes this for this instance, until the game is reloaded.

(3 edits) (+1)

1. a car that can be used to transport garbage,the car will need to be found and maybe repaired. 2. Add a portable radar or add a radar to a portable map. 3. Add an item that adds time output over food and stamina. 4. Add a motion sensor, an improved version of the sensor that can record video at the moment of motion detection and save it on the computer at the base. 5. A camera that can show the hidden and invisible 6. Close the entrance for the drone in the garage, because it no longer arrives there. 7. interesting mechanics with electronics, wires that can be conducted, add electric devices powered by batteries 8. Add explosives with which you can open new caves littered with stones. 9. Improved robot vacuum cleaners 10. Black market :] 11. Illegal mining of glasses. 12. The ability to send photos to superiors, their reactions to various events and anomalies. I have many more ideas, but i'm tired :)

 в 3, предмет, который показывает время возле еды и выносливости, как показыатель

Already exists just as of this update, a watch for 400 points right at the bottom of Deco

а я не видел

Дырка в гараже для зарядки ARV от солнца нужна

Солнечный свет не стоит на месте. Это как надо постоянно двигать квадрик, чтобы он всегда заряжался? Проще его на улице оставлять. А дыра нужна была именно для дрона

Compass targets random places on map. Once the mark is reached it targets some other random places. Requires sv.target reset in order to clear this. The problem is that it resets each restart. Requires sv.target reset each game load. Should be default behavior.

Some berry hitboxes are very small compared other berries. This is probably not intended as it's annoying.  Also the berries don't disappear off the model when they are picked.

make the cloud making fella more aggresive to give joel a heart attack, or add that one dream joel had as a kid where hes house was in/was a ufo

(+1)

maybe add a lock option for the inventory? so I can't lose my crowbar in the dumbest way.

Hey Dr. Nose & team
Not sure when this specific feature was included, but I have a bit of feedback with the GPU / crypto-mining in the game.
I failed to provide enough coolers and lost all my GPUs and the couple thousand points I paid for them. I wanted to suggest to lower the consequences for missing the need for more coolers (maybe lower efficiency, breakers popping, temporary shutdown of the whole mining frame). Losing hours of progress like that was pretty brutal, I thought.

That's all! Thanks for making a cool game o/

after playing the halloween mode i didnt realise how brutal this game is when its stuck at 00:00 with no server decay and no sleeping

you get no new drives or drive boxes that you dont buy,  you cant get points by repairing servers, your only stamina sources are soda and coffee stuff, you cant time accelerate, no daily task or weekly bonuses, and if you dont get accumulator batteries/an income source/the tr1(?) lighter you are stuck in the dark except for the jeep. if you dont create a GPU miner early on you are FUBAR. it really tests your game knowledge >.>

im not saying this is a bad thing btw, id love if this were turned into a bespoke "challenge" mode where the only real threat is your inability to ration and plan. it was really fun (aside from furfur disabling my ability to save every 5 seconds when at base + getting the stupid zombie deer by coincidence >:/ )

(+1)

I can't understand why I don't want to sleep. Every(almost) time I want to sleep, something or someone stops me AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. I'm either very inattentive or unlucky because I can't find the source of the problem, maybe some tips on what to do or whats going on so I can find it and go to sleep. But everything(almost) else is awesome and this is the best gaming experience of all time.

(+1)(-1)

Nah man, im done with this **** game.  It wasnt that bad the first time because at least this stupid thing fell in front of our windows and only office was destroyed. But now something just flashed and destroyed the whole base  AND I STILL DONT KNOW WHAT.

Before that i saw this huge Pyramid thing it was pretty cool.

HAHAHA, WHAT A HORROR

(-2)

You gotta put that stuff in boxes.

(1 edit) (-1)

Добавить марш Тореадора при отключении электричества базы в качестве ивента.

Add Toreador's March when base power is out as an event.

(1 edit) (+3)

itd be pretty neat if there were an upgrade you could find around/as a module: "ATV Seatbelt"

makes it so you dont go flying off the jeep when you crash, but you have to remember to buckle it when you get on (and unbuckle when you get off)

another nifty feature would be if wooden palettes could be used to send off multiple item/drive boxes with the drone at once (using plastic scrap as "ceran wrap" to hold it all together?)

(+1)

Please add Misophonia  accessibility options to disable the new eating sounds and the like, eating sounds give me personally extreme anxiety and muting the game would ruin the atmosphere. I do hope it wouldn't be much trouble.

(-1)

Such a moment, since they added body display in the game, I would like to have a setting that turns off body display. (Anyway, hands don't hold objects yet and it will look strange)

(+2)

Already exists

(+1)

when i put a bunch of drive box in scrap box (open container) and pick them up with gravity gun they start freezing in the air without ability to move them nor burn them

The blue plastic bins have this thing where when you put items in them the item becomes "connected" to the bin, but moving the bin in weird ways, like with grav gun or if you trip over it, can cause the items to fall out of the bin but still be "attached" to the bin. If you pick up the bin and like scoop the items up with the bin it should fix them. 

(+1)

Berries are neat but yellow berries giving +25 stamina is kinda busted. Its a good idea but due to this they really devalue the other stamina giving items.

Food tollerance really doesn't ballence them even though it should in theory (unless food tollerance gets updated so that some foods can be eaten less than others before kel refuses to eat them)

Alternatively yellow berries could give diminishing amounts of stamina the more theyre eaten in a row, IE the first berry is +25%, the next is 20, 15, 10, and bottoming out at 5. wait a day or smth and itll go back up to +25%. Gives a tradeoff like the other stamina granters (sodas are fairly expensive, coffee makes your camera jitter the more of it you have, coffee bites/bar dont have many uses to them, and others like the alien yogurt are rare)

Food tolerance hasn't really balanced anything for me outside of MREs, I have never experienced kel refusing to eat another food item from food tolerance even with my diets for several days consisting of mainly just 1 food item, maybe eating something else minor if it's available. Even intentionally eating as much of one food item as I can to try and experience it had no results.

I don't quite understand what to do? She doesn't want to be crafted.



Have you checked the new kerfur-omega recipe in 0.8.1 yet in general? It is COMPLETELY different now.

(1 edit) (+1)

Thanks,  i finnaly did it. She's just wonderful. I guess I shouldn't have decided to craft her in this month of the year. What could go wrong?

(+1)(-1)

Hi mrdrnose,

First Off, Love the game! Anytime I need to watch a YouTube video to learn what is going on and can still say I am having a great time I feel something is being done right. Like it's complicated enough to not get it on the first try but fun enough to keep me coming back. 

Suggestions:

Just as an accessory it would be nice to have Cheats/Sandbox mode as a checkbox in story mode. So if I want to break from my current story to try something out it is possible. 

Also Multiple save slots would also be nice. I am new to the game so there are a lot of things I don't understand or want to test, but at the same time I don't want to ruin my current run. 

This one maybe for more long-term but having something more console friendly would be nice, I am playing on the Steam Deck and there are things you can't do without a  keybored. I honestly think this game would do great with a larger audience. 

This one might  also be planned but being able to increase or decrease the Food and Energy bar would be nice. Like I'm in it for the programming, exploring and scares; having to manage my hunger kinda takes me out of it. 

Thank you,

(1 edit) (-4)

Love the new build, crafting mechanics, base, all of the new stuff is pretty fun. I used to play back in the 0.6.3b build, so seeing how well the map, achievements, items, and difficulty has changed to make it a more captivating experience is amazing. Love the updates, and good job mrdrnose! Keep up the good work.

Also, pretty happy to see good and high quality idie games that have a cohessive and in depth plot, story line, scary parts, and system get proper communities and publicity. The constant updates are bringing this game to light and to life. Good job!

{EDIT}

For some extra details, having a new map is really nice, and to have added difficulty to craft Omega Kerfus is great. Only problem, a lot of the issues are dwarfed by using UUU to break in to the system and spawn whatever you want with the summon command. The base having been changed since 0.6.3 was a fun update back in 0.7.0, and the tower having an actual purpose aside from being the "Your base is here" beacon was also a very fun update. The new update and build has changed a few things, and most of them have been for the better. Love the update for that.

Not sure what you are expecting with UUU being a problem, it is an external program you can use to spawn almost any item in the game, there isn't much you could do against that.

(-4)

I'm just saying it open a vulnerability to cheat in anything you want, so it destroys the problems you have.  Not too big of a problem.

Olá Dr Nose

Gostaria de dar uma sugestão, sou brasileiro, e aqui geralmente gostamos de escutar uma musiquinha enquanto trabalhamos ou outros porém, então minha sugestão é criar 2 tipos de radio, ou mp3, um radio antigo com musicas do jogo para apreciar as músicas do próprio jogo com um valor 150+- por ai, e um radio melhorado sendo 300+-, onde assim como quadros podemos colocar nossas músicas, tanto baixadas quanto um link de um vídeo do Youtube por exemplo, assim como os quadros não vejo como possa estragar a experiência do jogo pois é só não comprar ou ligar.

Algum easter egg ou evento pode ocorrer com ele também, tipo aliens conversando ou receptar algum áudio do espaço.

Enfim é apenas uma sugestão, obrigado desde já.

:)

1 Add plastic storage function to 3D printer. It's very strange that it can print infinitely and anything, and I would also love to have a way to turn printed models back into a plastic resource.


2 It really annoys me that I accidentally bury items from my inventory underground when digging patches of land for farming. I lost my rake, couldn't find it, bought a new one, and found the old one while digging.

(4 edits) (+4)

one :   it would be REALLY cool if there was a physical upgrade system, like you would actually open up the back of the terminal and install an upgrade that the drone would send you, and all the different types of upgrades would go in different spots. for example the video quality upgrade (I know its not called that) would go in the back of the screen of the downloading terminal, and maybe an event where aliens come a steal/gift you some upgrades!

two :  make some sort of portable camera viewer/computer so you can see camera and emails somewhere else in the base, and maybe it would need to be pugged in so you could only use it in the base or just make it so you can move the computer


three :  NO ONE LIKES THE NEW EATING SOUNDS

flour :  omeg kerf better be buffed with the new recipe

OBJECTION!

One: I agree.
Two: I DOUBLE Agree.
Three: I like this variety of sounds of eating. You immediately understand that you are not eating some cosmetics for food, but really different food. It may not be at the level of Tarkov, but it's definitely better than the old version of eating sound.
Flour: The ability to reboot transformers even when they are not yet broken. Then you will definitely become a hikkan.

Is it normal that my mining rig keeps mining while my PC is off? I log in after a real night and see 788 points, although it should be because  i collect them  regularly.

(+2)

I would update the tutorial, a TONE of important functions are left out and the tutorial only really covers ones that allow you to play the game in a whole, It really isn't new player friendly and it took me awhile to get the hang of it but other than that you have made a one of a kind game.

(+2)

Whining incoming:

I really, really love this game, its setting and the atmosphere, the gameplay and the interactivity, but it feels so, so frustrating when you somehow manage to miss every single autosave window, die from a random event and get sent back an entire day. I know now that I should manually save after every important task, but please, you have to improve the autosave system somehow so that this doesn't happen to any other poor soul again. I feel awful having hours of my time basically wasted.

Now for actually practical feedback:

The autosave system needs improvement. Due to the game being unable to pause during dangerous situations and while on the ATV, the time interval autosaves are impractical. Perhaps autosaving after doing certain actions, such as going to sleep or pressing the pause button, could work better. Completing tasks like fixing servers and downloading data could also trigger a save, but those actions can still be done even in dangerous situations so it might make less sense. Otherwise, I have zero complaints, none at all. This game is amazing and I wish nothing but the best for the development team.

(+1)

Just to make sure, you know you can tighten the time waiting between autosaves right?  Not saying your suggestion is wrong just want to make sure you know

(+1)

I only found out after me dying.

(+2)(-1)

i think it'd be really funny if you could create scarecrows out of wooden & paper scrap + a pumpkin that can distract the orange wisps (tear apart the scarecrow instead of you or your kerfur)

(+1)

I don't remember if this was changed in the last update or this update, but I was disappointed that the deer info in the help menu was put behind a spoiler warning and changed to "get rid of its corpse". "Go outside and eat its corpse" was iconic and seeing "How to get rid of a zombie deer" at the bottom of the help menu was a defining moment of the early VOTV experience.

I mean "get rid of its corpse" is more true now than it just telling you to eat it, you can get rid of it in other ways and eating it now gives you food poisoning (and an achievement if you fully finish it.)

does the number of bites reset if you reload your save or is it just a ridiculously high number of bites? i eventually just got fed up with trying to figure that out and just burned the thing

I don't know if it resets on reload, but I'm pretty sure it's worth like 200 food or so

i counted it and its 50 bites (because i got the signal AGAIN >:[ )

did it in one sitting without reloading though so i dont know if it resets still

out of curiosity i took a peek inside the game and the deer carcus has its "uses" as a food set to 60 so idk why i only had to use eat on it 50 times

The Halloween update was awesome! I hope to see more seasonal stuff in this game.

multiplayer through carfur or omega carfur

Insanely fun game, created account just to make this comment. After seeing new model i desperately need some sort of mirror
Events are engaging and cool, hope there is more to come! Thanks for your work!

I have issues with shadows, it decrase my fps 2 times

Higher render settings in games will do that, especially shadows.

I say this as someone who played from 0.6.3 to 0.8.1 Pre-alpha.

As bitter as it is to admit, but making the Omega-Kerfus craft more difficult is the right decision, since with its appearance you become a full-fledged hikkan.

Oh yeah, the old notebooks look unremarkable and can easily be confused with regular old books and ignored as trash (I remind you that lore or crafting recipes may be hidden in them). I suggest making them an unusual color, unlike books. Let's say bright red or yellow, dark green will also work.

And now with suggestions:

1. <<Location for the Pickaxe and Minerals hint>>

To build a OMEGA robot, you need quartz, but the only way to get it is access to a pickaxe and a cave.

Yes, you can find the pickaxe using the hint about the flooded safe in the lake, but it can be easily missed. I suggest adding a mining location and equipment next to the cave with notes about what minerals were mined there and how to find the pickaxe, like:

"Damn, Billy dropped his pickaxe in the lake last night while he was drunk... We tried to help him get it, but we NEVER found anything. It seems the pickaxe ended up at the very bottom, I hope he doesn't get fired for losing the pickaxe... It's really VERY expensive!"

Or.

"This cave is just a real uranium vein! The Swiss nuclear industry is just short of fragments of these crystals, and there's also a lot of coal and quartz here... I wonder why this place hasn't been discovered by others yet? We urgently need to extract the best samples of minerals and send them to management."

You can come up with the reason why they didn't come back yourself.

2. <<Structuring the crafting system>>.

Adding a lot of new recipes is of course very cool and good, but with the current crafting system it is quite difficult to experiment with this. I suggest adding a function to the workbench to separate "crafting" / "research", something like the system in the game "Abiotic Factor", but more physical, as always.

For example.

Having disassembled scrap metal on the workbench, we will add an "idea" in the branching of "crafting", from which other recipes will follow, for example, a trash can.

However, some recipes will not be reproduced without special books (such as Omega Kerfu(s/r) or Compressed Radioactive Material)

This is just my example, but in the future I would like to simplify crafting in terms of experiments and management.

3. <<Advanced everyday life at work>>.

I do not believe that the management that sent Dr. Kel will demand from him only reports on satellite hash codes as additional work.

You can also add more additional tasks from dr. Bao, which will alternate with hash codes.

For example:

"Daily task for today: 3 signals of level 3.

And also install new software for these satellites, CDs with the program have already been sent by drone:

Romeo

Tango

X-Ray".

I do not suggest complicating everyday life, but on the contrary, diversifying, this is just an example, you can come up with many other things.

That's all for now.

Good game, Dr. Nose.

(+4)

Honestly, these are really good suggestions.  Having occasional change from hash codes would be more interesting.  Maybe the random tasks start after week 2?  I thought the wind turbines might be setting up for that.

(+4)

I was thinking the same thing about daily tasks, the lack of variety, having days on random or a set day of the week lacking a daily task would also be nice to give players a break without them losing out a good chunk on their weekly bonus. Could even have weekly tasks that have to be completely by the end of the week on top of it.

I feel like the blurriness when you take the glasses off should be put in a separate category to the rest of the post-processing options. I want to use Velma Mode effectively, but if I don't have the post-processing set to 1, my game gets even laggier than it already is, even with volumetric light disabled.

(-3)

can we get a aot easter egg?

Eternity I have seen Many people leak testing maps so if you can make your game have anti leak filters and like that if you can I like this game so much and I don't want the game to not being updated 

(-5)

Maybe add a signal that causes a event and the signal looks like a weird looking ufo that it's controlled by glorp and the text data should be ⊑⏃⊑⏃ ⟟ ⍙⟟⌰⌰ ⎎⟟⋏⎅ ⊬⍜⎍ ⌇⍜ ⏚⟒ ⌿⍀⟒⌿⏃⍀⟒⎅  that translates to Haha I will find you so be prepared and it causes glorp to stalk you for 2 days and he can go through walls and when he finds you he uses a raygun that kills you 

(+2)

I think it would be great to have a fail safe to make sure event end, since I've personally have had problems going on for over three hours.
Maybe just a timeout to end events after a certain amount of time. At best it could be different times per events, and at least a 20ish minute one that is disabled for more important events.

Whenever I try to repair servers, the math problems with be unable to add up due to solutions being Greater than 9, which has me entering and exiting the ui constantly hoping for an equation that isn't 9 + a when a > 0.

Remove the tenths column, so 5 + 5 = 10 would be 0, 7 + 8 = 15 would be 5, etc.
Says this in the servers tutorial.

I feel the Bad Sun's light should be brighter again, maybe not as much as back in 0.6 but it's new brightness personally doesn't really convey the feeling that something is seriously wrong as much anymore.

(+1)

The optimization is still not the best. My laptop runs games with equivalent graphics at 60 fps without any trouble on almost maxed out settings, while VotV barely goes up to 20 in dark areas on minimal graphics. I really hope that performance will get better on full release. The game is still amazing though.

(+1)

The update is gorgeous in terms of content. However, there is a big problem with optimizing the game. Thus, FPS drops from 250 to 15 in 45 days. As I understood it, this is due to the number of mushrooms, because I was stunned by their number when I removed trees and grass with the help of a mod. But everyone counts as a physical object

(1 edit) (+3)

How this could be fixed is to add a setting for max mushrooms.  like the max roach setting .

Oh, and yes. It is probably worth removing the hole in the ceiling of the base since the drone delivers everything to the street, and not to the garage

(+6)

I love this game already. I just have 2 suggestions:
1. Instead of falling over after eating bad food, have the player vomit and create a mess on the floor to clean up.
2. Add a signal/event that hijacks player tv/radio to play spooky videos/sounds. Maybe some kind of message, like the "1977 Alien Brodcast Live on BBC" incident.

(+8)

Just a few ideas.


  •  a jar where you can catch fireflies and use as a dim source of light, or to pickle cucumbers.
  • an RC car similar to the drone.
  • sticky notes.
  • Event where a cake appear behind a door with a note that reads "Happy Birthday !)"


Great game

Saving the game manually should reset the autosave timer.
Also, industrial printer meshes with fewer than 2,730 vertices (or faces?) may not print due to the game logic falsely determining that the mesh is too large. (https://itch.io/t/4252635/industrial-printer-bug-081)

Some kind of limit on the naturally spawning crops would be nice, the lake is just lined with sugar cane and I can't go 30 feet without encountering a berry bush.

This is the state of a 0.8.1 save on day 35.

I want to cut the grass around the base and put up pink plastic flamingos and a hammock.

I think the controls need to be simplified, like make it more context sensitive for the grab commands or replace e with a hold meter before holding. also the ctrl key is uncomfortable to press when jumping.

(+2)(-1)

I love this game, it's my go-to game for chilling in the dark. I have a few ideas that I think might be cool.

1. An old paper map that you can mark yourself. Could be folded up like the picnic blanket and can be drawn on with the pencil like paper sheets. The map could have have little markings on it to signify POIs or be left completely blank for people to fill in themselves. Doesn't even need to show your location. Being able to add pins would be cool too.

2. Beacon shape, and appearance on radar. The way beacons roll around makes them feel a little less useful. Maybe a little pyramid shape or something so they hold their ground a bit better? Also, all beacons being purple dots can just make your radar a little messy when you want to place them at satellites AND POIs. Maybe just being able to toggle what shape they appear as on the radar? (Square, triangle, star, etc)

3. Compressed scrap? Same as coal and coal pieces. Just so there isn't so much lying around.

Thank you for making games!

(+4)(-1)

It's been my first ever experience playing this game along side with friend... And it was fantastic! I've seen some gameplay from like a year ago build of the game, and seeing so many little, but REALLY significant changes is super nice! 

Starting with what I think about new Kerfur-O craft: yeah, it's a pretty good change (kinda related to that tho, I hope more stuff is going to be added in the caves, cause it took us around an hour of regenerating the layout to find one signle crystal shard. Finding something else along the way would make it feel more worth the time) HOWEVER, I do think that the scuba mask price should be lowered in like half. I can understand it being 1000 + 100 if there's gonna be more things to dive for, however rn it's just a little too much. Lowering the amount of plastic scrap needed from 14 to 10 would also be a small, but appreciated change IMO.

I liked the pacing of the game I've experienced so far. The very first week was CHAOTIC. First time playing and we could barely finish the task like once every two days (now probably it wouldn't be so much of a trouble, but managing servers, generators, hashcodes and signals at the same time is a really nice way to keep player busy in this early game). The second week was the getting used to week. The first good end of a week bonus, and finally some free time, which was spend slowly but surely getting rid of all the trash and cleaning the base bit by bit each day. Around end of week 2 is also when Kerfur was bought, and it's been pretty much a perfect 500 points bonus each week after that. The next two weeks were spend gathering items around the map and preparing money for the Kerfur-O. Small note, I really like how you can also open the second bunker door with a crowbar, it was a very pleasant surprise. Hook is one of the best things in this game, the amount of smart things you can do with it and ATV is insane! And overall, I love how whenever you have an item, it's better to get another one to best utilize it! I can dig the whole area with a shovel, but buying a metal detector makes it easier. That's why I love this game so much, the depth of these mechanics is awesome!

Anyway, one small suggestion I might have about mid game is to have new hashcodes be more likely to appear on a satellite that you haven't visited in a while. At one point Ihad an idea pop into my head about an item that would allow you to name it, and then target it by its name, but honestly? The game loop is so perfect, that you really do get familiar with this map by the end of week 3-4.  During week 1 it seemed SO big, so hard to move around fast; but during week 3-4, I was really surprised to notice how it feels like less than a minute passes between one satellite to another. And so, after four weeks our base is clean, our upgrades are upgraded, we found the last Kerfur-O crafting material, and the only thing that was left was to collect scrap. The part I liked is that we had to stop by transformers A LOT during the mid game, especially tr_1 and tr_3, thanks to the tree house and the cave being nearby, and every time we went there I could already picture moving all the useful items from there to craft scrap. When that time came, it was really satisfying for some reason. These two corners of the map are probably our most favourite ones, and I really hope that something similar could be added near tr_2 to make that corner also be rememberable. But unfortunatelly, that's where we stopped at the moment :D

However, I do know, that this is basically the perfect timing, cause from what I know week 5 is when the most exciting events are happening and you can freely explore the map to experience them! The whisps event is also perfectly placed in my opinion. By that time we only had to explore the cave and move the materials from transformers, and those guys really made that process more fun! I've seen someone mention their Red Kerfur moving crazy in this version after similar thing been happening to us :D While running away in the dark of the night from the whisp it was hilarious to witness Red Kerfur fall into the river, while spinning at insane speed. Can't wait to play further and finally buy 3D printer! I love how you can actually decorate your base in this kind of way. Buying a TV, a radin, and a few painting frames to add more cats, funky music, and movies with bad resolution does a fantastic job at providing fun in between events, and even helping you to drop your guard. Don't have anything else to say but to thank you for creating this amazing game! It's definitely phenomenal, it's the most fun I had in a while, and I will return to it with more different friends! I will leave the picture of our office somewhere at the start of week 4, cause we got hit by that stupid geometric shape, and then while testing it we created something really hilarious that just made our office look even more surreal

Not exactly your suggestion. But if the targeted point is meant to stay stationary, you could write down coordinates gotten from the digital map and target those with the new command added in the latest update

хотелось бы вернуть старый крафт омега-керфуса, на новой версии стало слишком сложно собирать омега-керфуса и муторно

I think that weapons are superfluous and not needed, we need to play around the neutralization of monsters differently

I would like to see the server and transformer integrity gameplay loops put back into Ambience Mode. Almost makes the mode TOO safe.

I feel the Firetank's movement speed nerf is a bit extreme to the point where it makes me question if it was intentionally reduced this much. It moves just slightly faster than your walking speed so if you aren't too tired to sprint, it can barely put up a chase.

One suggestion would be for the digital map to be able to fit onto the quad and you can also see the coordinates in a cleaner way, like in the radar history or something like that.

(+1)(-1)

I love the amount of freedom the player has, and how it rewards player creativity. I'm also very glad to hear we won't have guns or proper fireweapons.

With that said, I feel like we're lacking more efficient means of combat other than the crowbar and the molotovs, especially for dealing with the boars. I think some kind of trap that could be triggered by an entity or the player would be a cool thing to have. Like the ability to use hooks as tripwire, or beartraps (although I understand how this wouldn't be very effective against the boars...)

Or at least let us make Kerfur-O hold an open garbage bin pointed forward, so the player can attract the boar and the Kerfur-O will trap it in the bin. Make us feel like we outsmarted the little b4stards, you know?

Keep up the great work on the game, Nose, and take your time. I can't wait to see what future updates will bring, but health must always come first :)

I saw a video of someone catching a boar in a green trash can. lol then they could "use" the trash can and the boar came flying out. not sure if it was a mod or something though

1. Было бы здорово иметь возможность добавить на цифровую карту обозначения с радара, например: возможность фиксации последнего состояния радара (подойти к радару, сохранить показания и ходить до обновления состояния вручную или сброса)
Даже цена в 2000-4000 была бы приемлема за такой функционал.

2. Учитывая что в игре есть большое количество газировки, пиво, кофе, множество фруктов в которых много сока, река черз всю карту, вполне уместно может быть и жажда (при падении которой так же как и с едой, персонаж может замедляться и валиться с ног)

3. Пожалуйста верни старое взаимодействие со шкафчиками, намного более нервно открывать их самому по немногу, чем резкое открытие по нажатию!

4. Предложение по ивенту: на поздней/средней стадии игры 25-35 день на базе начинает появляться слизь/плоть (как в фильме Creepshow 2: The raft "1987") постепенно выползающая из всех вентиляционнных отверстий, постепенно заполоняющая базу если игрок не убирал базу или не избавился от тараканов в вентиляции, для борьбы с ней необходимо использовать portable pressure washer модернизированный на верстаке с помощью резины, металлома, трубы, зажигалки и канистры с бензином. Что в свою очередь превратит его хоть и в огнемёт но с очень большим расходом бензина (например 1 канистра на секунд 10-15 использования)
По мере уничтожения этой мерзости, игрок найдёт что то вроде ядра, которое будет агресивно и будет прыгать на игрока пытаясь убить, и его нужно будет каким либо образом заманить/бросить в сжигатель и убить, ведь если этого не сделать оно со временем восстановиться и весь процесс зачистки необходимо будет повторить.

5. Ещё редложение по ивенту: Учитывая что в комплексе есть устройство для стирания данных, довольно печально что оно используется только для одного ивента а учитывая что с нами на карте живут ариралы, вполне логично было бы иметь возможность поймать сигнал их переговоров между собой или с родной планетой(?) и допустим получить сообщение от них после поимки сигнала с просьбой уничтожить запись и если этого не сделать, игрок сильно испортит свою репутацию/вызовет ивент как при запросе "Ariral pls" но со смертельным исходом

First off, Loving the game! Been a big fan of watching others play it and have been having lots of fun playing myself, even the scares I've seen others experience catch me off guard. Haven't progressed too far yet myself but would like to give a dumb suggestion , others in the thread feel free to give feedback or info on why it may or may not be a good idea.

1. An entity similar to a "Pale Crawler", this suggestion is purely based on my love for that sort of cryptid lol, but anyway I think it would be a good addition with how it would be a good "its mistakeable for an animal at first glance but when you realize what it is its gone" sort of deal. I also think it would work really well with the camera feature (one of my favorite features, too little games let you have multiple perspectives from one base) as, while its a creepypasta and fake image, The Rake image is still somewhat unsettling to me and it would be wild seeing something like it in real time. For how it would look anything humanoid but with little to no features would work, there is this one image of a pinkish-pale "alien" on top of a roof that I would work well with not being too recognizable but still humanoid. How it would fit lore wise? I don't know. How it would appear? maybe as an unfrequent event? But that's just some ideas, don't know how well it would fit into the game. 

Читая твой твиттер наткнулся на такой пост
И следовательно возникла идея: Как на счёт того чтобы сделать керфуров омега более живыми или хотя бы пасхалку отсылающую к этому посту.
А именно добавить интеракцию между керфуром Keljoy и Eriell (как пример: воспроизведение анимации их объятия, грусти одного из них в случае если на их глазах разобрать другого и тп.)
