Bros...I think I'm retardedWhat the fuck am I doing
>>724915003Oh shit after more clicking around randomly I got itI'm not too fond of all the extra minigames that got added (besides the server ones)
>>724915143I haven't played in a while so I'm not sure what's new, but I don't think having something new to do besides waiting by the console all day is really a bad thing.
>>7249157570.9 does a bunch of shit, of questionable enjoyment>Searching for signals now uses triangulation, which you have to move all three points around the signal individually>The points are powered by the radio towers (thing in the OP) which apparently die kind of quick and each of the fuses cost 100, have to play a little minigame with the lights to turn them all green>If the radio tower dies then you can no longer move the point, I guess you're left to sell trash to get money for the fuses>The ATV is slower with a dimmer headlight, have to upgrade it now, as compensation it has some other upgrades like a seatbelt so you don't fly out of it>The ATV also now has a battery separate from the fuel and each wheel has durability and must be repaired>Server stability is no longer a singular upgrade, but rather physical upgrades that each server individually can be upgraded 3 times>As a compensation, servers seem to go down much less however>Similarly other upgrades are not generally done through the computer besides things like download speed, e.g. if you want to add automatic processing to the processor then you have to shut down the power to the console and plug a cartridge into the back with a wrench>The drone doesn't pick up boxes anymore, you just add shit to an infinite crate it's holding, which is nice for quickly selling the MASSIVE AMOUNT OF FUCKING TRASH ADDED TO THE BASE but I can't put item boxes in my inventory so not sure what the point of them is anymore>You don't write down hash codes anymore, you download them to a floppy disk which you then transfer to a zip drive for some reason and then you can ship it>There's also a new passive daily task, you just wait for tapes, it's ok>Also I transferred my skelebro kerfur omega to my new save and he exploded, I went to buy glue to put him back together and it just keeps shipping me limb joints instead, I am getting scammed
>>724915003My usual pattern is getting 1 green and all red.From there it's two clicks of the reds and you're done (since if you have only 1 green, that's 6 reds in a row).The fact that the CR towers seem to fail daily, the fuses are far too expensive, and they're only listed as "CR_1" when breaking down pisses me off though.
>>724916857Oh yeah I forgot, transformers also have 3 minigames associated with them now, though only one seems relevant if you don't let them die
>>724917025Don't know what they were thinking with the fuse prices. That shit KILLS new saves basically
its not worth playing right now due to bugs and questionable additions. its clearly not done yet and was only released for the halloween stuff
>>724916857The triangulation thing sounds kinda neat, but needing to buy a mountain of fuses sounds like some annoying shit that'll softlock a lot of players in the early game. Turning off the power to upgrade things sounds like an interesting idea though. I like elements that force you to forgo your sense of security.
I haven't played in a long tiem. Looking for a good time to jump back in but im also trying to avoid spoilers.Is now a good time to play again or should I keep waiting?
Just got this today, are there enemies in this game? Want to know what to expect wen wandering about at night
>>724918535>Is now a good time to play again or should I keep waiting?I'd probably wait for a patch or two for them to fix up shit at leastSome of my signals don't even let me save after they finish downloading for some reason>>724918595Yes
How complete is this game right now?Is it worth playing this .9 version or am I better waiting if I only intend on playing it once?
>>724919639See >>724917482It already has a pretty good amount of content frankly, just not in the best shape currently. Could play the previous version if you want to try now. Just expect to look up some stuff because the tutorial fucking sucks
>>724917126The one where you have to match the squiggly lines is pretty fucking annoying. Like it's a pretty standard puzzle that's usually no trouble at all but the interface for it is pure ass and every time the transformer's power goes down a percent it resets so you have to start all over. It's almost less annoying to just let the transformers die just so you don't have to deal with it reseting on you
>>724916857I found the item boxes are at least handy for transporting all the shit three drone drops off at the start of each day. The two tapes plus the tape box are heavy as fuck and without an item box you've basically got to make two trips getting all the shit the drone delivers
>>724919927alright will wait a bit
>>724915003Just keep clicking the red ones until you get it. Pretty bullshit you have to pay out the ass to fix the CR towers AND you have to do a stupid minigame.Also I found a pipe bomb in one of the filing cabinets and accidentally blew up my bedroom so that's new.
i always considered it a massive shame that this game had spooky jumpscares and creepy shit in it. i think id very much enjoy its autism if not for the horror elements; i do not 'do' horror elementsyes i know theres a 'safe' version but that version ISNT ACTUALLY SAFE, THERES STILL CREEPY HORROR SHIT IN IT, JUST SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THE MAIN VERSION REE
so is the best early game money source just selling the various MRE caches on the map, or is there something I'm missing?I know garbage sells for something but it's too labor intensive
>>724921927it has a peaceful mode where nothing weird happens (I think) (I haven't tried it)
>>724919639the most recent release is a buggy as fuck unbalanced mess that they pushed out for halloween since they had already delayed it a couple of times
>>724922197Playing 0.9 it's easy as fuck to just spam e+r over trash piles in the landfill that is your base and throw it in the droneDoesn't even take that long and it'll get you some hundreds
Day 37, and i have still not searched for a single signal. I get everything else but apparently this version has a debug bug in that any time you click the Alt key it reduces the towers durability or something.
>>724922491I can't believe he let shit like that get in a public release kek
>>724917302The fuses need to sell for exactly the same price as they're bought for. Really, why the hell am I spending money out of my own paycheck to fix their faulty equipment, I get upgrades, but basic maintenance of these towers shouldn't be my problem, at least monetarily that is. I mean we don't have to pay for our own drives, they come in the mail everyday for free, why not fuses?
>>724921568you technically don't have to pay to fix the new towersyou can just fix them everytime they break, but obviously it's a pain in the dick so you're suppose to fill them with fuses which take the blow and prevent them from going downthey're just too expensive, it would be a combined 2400 credits to fill up all 3 towers with 8 fuses
>one of the new server fix minigames is literally just the scary maze game
>>724921927Ambiance mode has no spooks in it, at least I hadn't encountered any in the 40 days I played of it in the last update.
>>724922692So, is there a spook if you fuck it up?
>>724922830I don't know, I haven't messed it up
>>724916857for how wordy it is the tutorial doesnt explain the actual effective way to use triangulation on the console wellYou ping and navigate using the yellow square reticle, as it moves about twice as fast as dragging them. Once you find the signal (that should have a way to show its lifespan but lmao nose fucked that up) you either click the three right hand buttons on the console, or use 1, 2, and 3 to auto set each point instead of dragging it since this is almost always faster than dragging them unless you completely neglect the cooldown stat and the signal is closethe coordinate towers are also fucked and will damage themselves if you hit alt because nose left that debug feature inas for the trash all you need to do is drag the three trash bins on the side of the base inside and dump everything into them to make moving it to the bench for scrapping way easier
>>724922616Oh I thought it needed at least one fuse for some reason. Better, but it still sucks because I get like 5 windstorms a week and I'm pretty sure those are what damage the towers.
>>724922830>>724922851I messed up once and didn't get a spook, so if it does, it's occasional.
Ariral sex update yet?
I thought the new floppy disk hash system was annoying at first but I like it now, it has a rhythm to it. The only stupid thing is how often the process randomly fails if you don't cart server upgrades to all the dishes.
>>724923176with these devs the only option would be bottoming for argemia's 9 inch schlong
>>724922264read the spoiler, stupid
no longer seasonally relevant
The coordinate towers are so ass.>Dude imagine the satellite chore, but you can't automate it and they're all at the edges of the map>99% chance you realize one broke as you're sitting down to do signals only to be told you're not doing any today>If more than one breaks enjoy crossing the whole map repeatedly I didn't want to do signals anyways>Have to spend shitloads of points on a billion fuzes every time they break or they will keep breaking every day>There's an option to disable tower degrading but it doesn't work
>>724915003well you're clearly playing this wrong since you don't have maxwell and you're not listening to alien music remixes on the monitors.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URtqADoz9uA
>>724924206You also can't disable ANYTHING unless you've toughed it out to day 7 at least once, ensuring that new players will have a dogshit time.
>>724924206just disable them in options, they're literally broken because of the ALT debug thing
>>724924206>>724924349>the option to disable doesn't worknosekun...........
>>724924349>There's an option to disable tower degrading but it doesn't work
>>724916857I stopped playing this game awhile ago and shit like this makes me not want to come back.
>>724924349Even if they weren't broken, they're still the epitome of an anti-fun mechanic.
>>724915003>Update is out>Fragile hope that maybe this time they'll add more signals>lolno, more tedium and useless mechanicsI miss when the game about getting space signals was about getting space signals.
Why doesn’t this game have a general?
>>724925097it would just die after become 95% ariral smut posting, look how slow even occasional /v/ threads arecome back in 3 years for 1.0, maybe

What went wrong?

here's your canon ariral design bro
>>724924035Holy shit that's spooky
where is the signal glossary that it keeps giving me updates on actually located?
Which is the best Space Cat Girl?
>>724925751Isn't there some weird futafaggotry thing about them canonically?
>>724926694Yes they're one of the fantasy races that explicitly have males, females, and hermaphrodites; Argemia is the third.
I think day length is bugged right now, the sun doesn't properly come up until like 10 am.
>>724926604I hate multiboob, but arirals are just plain cuter, and more advanced.>>724926959Daylight savings.
>tfw don't want to break open the supply crates because I like how they look aesthetically in the base
I love being more or less stranded because I don't have the 150 points necessary for replacing my atv's battery
>>724916857Wow, actual gameplay changes. Is the game stable enough play right now? Also, what about the map? Is it still the same as 2 years ago, spare the base?
>>724927196you should probably wait for a patch unless you're super eager to play, the new patch added a bunch of new mechanics but many of them are poorly balanced or just buggyI don't know if they've added more days to the end of the demo or not, I'm only 2 weeks inthey're planning more broad map changes and new locations but 0.9 just changed the base as far as I can tellalso im not him im just reposting before anyone asks
>>724927270>they're planning more broad map changes and new locations but 0.9 just changed the base as far as I can tellThen back to the waiting room I go.
is there any recipe scrap can be crafted into that actually sells for a decent amount?for some reason paper scrap is worth the most at 10 points but it's still not very much
>>724927391I don't know when the last time you actually played was, the version that came with the first base revision in april 2024 also changed the map a lot from the original alpha
>>724927631I last played right before the base update. I kept hearing that only the base was changed and the rest of the map is the same, so I didn't play.
>>724927749nah, the map's pretty different with more verticalitybut the game is still heavily unfinished either way
>>724927879Then I guess I'll wait for 0.9 to come out proper and play again.
Is the fuck up update reversed yet. I'm still sticking with the version before the terminal's visual change
>>724928085when has nose ever gone back on an unpopular change
OJOJOJOJOJOJOJOJ
for people who were asking about the otakel mod, im pretty sure among the other things 0.9 fucked up they accidentally disabled the patching system that the mod relied on, so it won't be usable until they turn that back on
is it true that all the crashers and "non canon" entities are on the funny setting now? can i actually play a long session if it's off?
>>724928434I've been on the same session today for about 4-5 hours without dying or reloading and I haven't seen the rectangle, I do have the funny setting on though.
>>724922536first time playing a v0.X.0 from Nose? he does this shit every single fucking time
>>724922830You can apparently get shit like https://litter.catbox.moe/khwxwy1ctmvycrme.mp4 because "haha silly """event"""" (according to their QA guy at least). Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Nose added a 0.01% chance to get a "spoopy" skeleton and the bad to the bone riff as a maze jumpscare
>>724928189
>>724917126Only one of the is actually a game with thinking. The others are just "click till line on side go up".>>724928515I dont play on funi but got the render bug rectangle.
>>724923407
>>724930330Eh, that's cute.
>sleeping late at night>hear a loud pulsing sound coming from deep inside the forest>wake myself up>no meta paranoia>go out and head towards the sound>still no meta paranoia>game even saves as I get closer to the source of the sound>Ramiel floats out of the forest towards me and blasts me with a laser killing me instantly Was this an event in the game already or is this new to 0.9? Why doesn't it cause meta paranoia?
>steal game from m.i.a. signal simulator romanian nigger>add furries and troons>ruin the gameplay even more each patch
>>724928208That sucks, the improved TV is my favorite mod since it lets you stream youtube.
>woah, is that a fucking rifle? with thi-In hindsight I should have expected it.
>>724932797That's been in for a while. It's a random entity like the fossilhound and not an event per-se.
>Ariral treehouse bugged and they just won't build it nowYup I'm waiting for this to be fixed that's a savefile ruining bug
>>724933290Did you bring the kel plushie into your new save? I did that once in an older build and they never built the treehouse.
>>724915003So is everyone complaining about the changes for the sake of complaining because it's simply "change".Or are the changes actual dogshit?If the job is boring and monotonous then that mean it's working as intended.I've heard extending the days a little in the settings is a must since there's new tasks.
is it just me or does the "day speed" option do nothing? 1 minute in game is 3 seconds regardless of the setting.
>>724933353The signal scanning changes are pretty terrible and eat up a lot of time/money. I like getting the hash codes on the floppy disk but moving them to a zip disk feels like pointless busywork they made so okerfus doesn't completely trivialize daily tasks.
>Load into a save to gather shit to move over into a new one>Immediately Meta Paranoia starts, and an Event I've never fucking seen in my life starts has have my base is vibrating from clipping ship>Lights Flickering constantly, ramping up, then suddenly stopping>Meta Paranoia endsMore annoying than Spooky, through there's probably some big fuck-ass ghost I missed while I was paying more attention on boxing up my Kerfus Omega
>>724920279>but the interface is pure assjust to be sure anon, you are using mouse scroll to turn the dials and not doing manually right?>>724916857DrRetard also left in a debug feature where alt damages coord tower wich is why it feels like they die quickly, but they don't need fuses to work, fuses just break instead of the tower, just extra health.>>724917302nose said it's gonna cost 50 next update and get a recipe with 10 points worth of material>>724928208that's bullshit, but i guess since mods rely on it nose will have to reactivate it
>>724933353New Controls are "To taste". I personally dislike that I can't spam certain actions as fast.Most of the job stuff seems like a pile of solutions to fix the issue of players not leaving the base enough and nose deciding to implement all of them instead of the one or two it actually needed.
>>724933353I like the new changes. I think anons are mostly bitching because the early game is way rougher. The only bad thing in my opinion is overpriced fuses for the radars. But I think the update is an improvement.I also dont get the point of the hashcode transfer but maybe its set-up for a further mechanic.
>>724934196>I also dont get the point of the hashcode transfer but maybe its set-up for a further mechanic.The point is to make the player do more for daily tasks even if you have omega kerf. It's also why the tape was added.
>saves and reloads the game any time a storm startsheh nice coordinate towers Nose, mind if I skip every storm so they never get hit?
>>724934368Well, its still an extremely minor task that is done in no time. I think the point is to vibe check you late game to see if you are paying attention. I dont think its a coincedence that the delete button right up next to the move button.I think the whole point of the update is to pad out the cleaning and set up part of the game and then to continue to keep you engaged even if you have omega cumfur.That is why I think its a good update, because it expands on the game. My only real gripe is the gold leaf plated extra premium hood classic fuses and the fact that the car battery randomly dies and goes form 70% to 0%. But maybe Im retarded on the second point
>>724934690considering that the option to disable coordinate tower decay is apparently broken right now, nose would probably just tell you to do this anyway
>Scan for signals for tasks>most scan and download most just fine>the last one for the day is unstable as fuck when downloading>Have to constantly fiddle with polarity and frequency console to maintain 90+%Is this a feature update or a bug? I don't remember having to constantly fiddle with polarity and frequency to max out the download speed. I hope it's a bug.
>>724935758was it raining
>>724935856As a matter of fact, yes. I guess it's a feature then?
>>724935917yes, go buy the storm filter module to counteract it. this has also been a feature for like a year if not longer i think
>>724935917Get the storm filter upgrade, that's what prevents that from happening during rain storms.
>>724936237>>724936210Cheers, anon. I couldn't remember if it was a bug or not since before all the extra tasks got added I'd just hammer out tons of drives in older versions and never noticed.
watch for falling rocks
>>724938449to be desu~ne~ VOTV would be actually funny if it leaned into the absurdist angle of it being a cursed forest that God personally hates and the most retarded shit happens all the timethe incredibly rare, ephemeral deer you've been trying to spot for weeks and weeks, and you finally manage to spot it from afar? a boulder falls from the sky and smashes it with a comical splat.
>>724915003>early release of 0.9 even marked as "[UNSTABLE SHADOW SUPER TEST]" is somewhat unbalanced and buggy>no waynot that really excuses the new dogshit controls kek
>>724933353>>724935369the problem with the changes is that they take entirely too much time in a game where the time economy's already fucked.while also expecting the player to explore the forest and hunt out ridiculous secrets.
>>724938785>demonic hotspot>paranormal shithole>alien magnet>personally cursed by god himselfthe fact that its still a forest and not just a crater is a miracle.
>>724939396I like the new controls better, even if my brain fucks me because of muscle memory more than not. Not having to bother with the ALT key at all is a godsend.Actually I like *most* of the updates. My only grip is that because of how slow everything around interacting with the radar is, you miss signals more often than not, and you spend like 5 hours just trying to triangulate one
>>724933353The only thing I feel like I can bitch about with 100% certainty and not just getting used to a new thing is retrieving the hashcodes from the satellite.Yeah putting in the floppy discs and having the computer write to disk is "better" than typing them in yourself, but what the fuck are you supposed to do while waiting for it to write to disc, fail, and restart? It's too short to fuck off and explore around the satellites and just long enough to be frustrated with every error with how long it takes since you're just standing around waiting instead of typing it yourself.
>>724939396The new controls are perfectly fine and the people calling them worse than the old controls just hate changeThe old controls sucked ass no one liked learning 72 different hotkeys just to be able to pick things up and put them in your inventory and place them back down againNow the entire game can be interacted with by only using E and R and that's far better than what we had before
>>724939457the entire management of the time economy is completely retarded with the game and always has, constantly adding more superfluous shit to "correct" the game loop instead of simply tweaking what is already thereoriginally:>you find signals, servers sometimes go down>you have to manually go to servers to fix them or your signals download slow, incentivizing player to go out>>"BUT FIXING SERVERS IS TEDIOUS!then:>you find signals, servers sometimes go down>but now you have kerfur, he can fix broken servers>>but now it's not tedious enough>so you also have to take 1-5 hash codes from the same exact place you would fix the broken servers anyway, effectively changing nothing about the game loop, just making it more complicated with no result>>"BUT GOING TO GET HASHES IT TOO TEDIOUS!!"then:>you find signals, have your coomerbait cat robot fix broken servers and get hash codes>but also fix transformers which occasionally go down, again replicating the old loop except with 3 separate places instead of 24 separate places>oh and occasionally you have to reset the radio antenna to get deliveries but it leads to jumpscares 50% of the time>>"BUT NOW IT'S NOT TEDIOUS ENOUGH!!"now:>you find signals (barely), have your coomerbait robot fix broken servers, but he can get randomly annihilated by any one of many random horrors roaming the forest and you have to painstakingly pick up all the teensy weensy individual parts, and you have to collect the not!hashcodes that are on tapes now, and you have to do shitty puzzles to reset the transformers, and you have to reset coordinate towers that get disabled every time it storms (often), and you have to send back zip drives from the base, and you have to reset the radio tower to get deliveriesIt's getting overcorrected way the fuck in the other direction next update to the point you don't even have to collect signals anymore.
>>724939457I feel like nose is making the game for returning players. People who played the previous versions should have no issue with the new systems since they know the basic start.>get the shovel, axe and hook>sell the MREs in the barrel, vents and around the base>sell all the objects around the base like fire extinguishers and rocks>you will have enough money for several upgrades>plant lemon trees and eventually build your crypto miner>by day 10 you should be making 700+ per day, even earlier if you plant the lemon trees as soon as possibleIf you are efficient with your time early on you can get way ahead of the difficulty curve.But of course new players aren't going to know any of that so they may get stuck in a cycle of everything around them failing and struggling to get money.
>>724939457>the problem with the changes is that they take entirely too much time in a game where the time economy's already fucked.Yeah that's why I've heard increasing the days length a little is a must now.Obviously not excusing this since you shouldn't NEED to modify the in game settings to make it more manageable, but at least the option is there I guess.>>724939858>while waiting for it to write to disc, fail, and restart?I've heard this is the biggest complaint. It's because each check (there's 10 iirc) is a dice roll.imo it should be a simple loading bar that'll occasionally get stuck, then you just need to press a button to get it going again.None of that restarting shit, luck shouldn't be a major factor in a task succeeding.
>>724940159It restarts on its own, once you type sv.request it's completely automated until it succeeds. Which is nice, if you had to reenter sv.request every time it'd suck way more.It's just frustrating with how tethered you are to the satellite, yet also can't do anything in the server room while the console is writing to the disk, since it is better than typing out the hashcode
>>724940308>It restarts on its own, once you type sv.request it's completely automated until it succeeds. Which is nice, if you had to reenter sv.request every time it'd suck way more.No I mean:>"sv.request">Loading 1%>Loading 3%>Loading 6%>Loading 9%>ERROR: PLEASE UNFUCK SYSTEM>Player presses a single button.>Loading 12%>Loading 15%>ERROR: PLEASE UNFUCK SYSTEM>Player presses a single button.>Loading 18%Obviously the more you upgrade it, the less you'll need to press the button and the quicker the % will increase.Would be a lot better than starting from scratch each time imo
>>724940095this game's biggest problem is that nose keeps adding gameplay as maintenance, if you dont know all the ins and outs then all of the overcorrections fail and new players get fucked.>yeah just ignore the array at the beginning. put on your farming hat, boot up the crypto miner, and do signals as a side gig.it completely misses the fucking point of being a signal simulator knockoffi'll just repost my idea from the previous thread>>724853168>>724853216tl;dr: focus on repairing the array instead of constant maintenance, space foxes instead of space cats.with "repair this shit that was broken when you came here" nose would actually be able to add as much gameplay as he wants, and since you're there for the signals it actually makes sense to for the gameplay be "repair the array and your reward will be faster signal catching"repairs are less tedious than maintenance, but ultimately serve the same purpose.>>724940097> People who played the previous versions should have no issue with the new systems since they know the basic start.of course, but my problem is that im not a fan of how you should be ignoring the signals and array wholesale to start the game. thats not why im playing [signal sim: ariral edition]
>>7249384490.5 A presses
>>724940159>Yeah that's why I've heard increasing the days length a little is a must now.problem here is that day length doesnt change how fast you get tired.
>>724944449Drink your coffee Apollo.
I honestly don't get the complaints about the coordinate towers. I'm 15 in game days deep and haven't had a single one go downHow often are people alt tabbing out of the game to be nuking their towers every 5 seconds? I get that they fucked up big time leaving a debug key in the game like that but I don't understand how people are having them go down so often. I wouldn't even know they were a feature in the game at this point if I didn't see the constant complaints online
Anyway, when's Dr. Zex game?
>>724945089>alt tabbingBiggest offender is probably the Alt+[number] hotkeys when triangulating signals, and to a lesser extent when opening locks. In fact I was wondering why people where complaining about the towers going down too until the alt thing came to light, as it immediately clicked I haven't been using the Alt+[num] hotkeys at all, as I preferred manually clicking on the the colored buttons and using numpad on doors.
>>724924901im pretty sure there's actually a new signal or two (nose thinks not giving proper information in changelogs is funny)
Last time I played I was really enjoying it until a bunch of cyberpigs started spawning everywhere and it made the game a lot more annoying to play so I quit.
>>724916857sounds incredibly tedious and in some cases just obnoxiousis there anything fun added to balance this out that we know of?
>>724946585It's still fucked up that the best way to deal with the pigs was to trick them into a recycling bin and then dumping them into the incinerator, has nose changed that more in 0.9?
>>724947341>the only reason this works is because nose coded the pigs as items rather than actual entities
>>724947524>molotovs straight up don't function most of the time>they have enough health that you're going to take a bunch of damage when fighting them with meleeIt's better than the alternative. Honestly being able to trap them in a garbage can is a fun feature and I'll be pissed if he ever removes it
>>724947341>>724947524>>724947715You can also just lead them to the Ariral's treehouse and they'll fuck them up for you
>>724947715nose just needs to give us a fucking gun.it doesnt have to be a good gun but kel is a scientist, he should be able to figure out some kind of projectile launcher.
>>724915003The game seems nice, but I don't care for forced "horror" and enemies combat. just have a job simulator with some mysteries.
>>724947826Giving the horror protagonist a proper weapon is the fastest way to kill any tension left.
NOOOOOOSEFIX THE ARIRALS NOT BUILDING THE TREEHOUSE ALREADYI DON'T WANT TO PLAY THE GAME UNTIL THAT'S FIXED
>>724948107A whole lot of good a gun will do you against anything other than the pigs.
>>724948109Have the arirals sleep with you in the base, maybe have the arirals build tree house next the base and you can see them wandering around decloaked if you good boy.
>>724948107I dunno I feel like it wouldn't help, what the fuck are you going to shoot? The giant metal fire tank? The hordes of flying cyber pigs? GHOSTS? A gun is useless in this scenario.
>>724948107like i said, it doesnt have to be a GOOD gun.>grays are highly modified, so they probably have tough skin>arirals have fancy tech stuff>roztals(? forgot their name) are made out of metal so yeah tough shit your little slugs will do nothing.>anything else is incorporeal to an extent or needs to be destroyed completelythe amount you can use it on would be very limited, the impotent mannequins and the "they're just annoying" pigs. if anything, having a gun that doesnt work against the horror is more horrifying than not having one at all
Any mods to change the cats into something slightly less cringe like grey aliens or mothmen something.
>>724947826you already have a gun anon
>>724916857The ATV shit sounds miserable desu
>>724948303>>724948349Give me the GEP gun for silent take down of tanks, pigs, demons and space cats.
>>724948494They're literally invisible what the fuck does it matter to you
>>724948546I'm sorry. All I have to offer is a RUSTY METAL SKULLGUN.
>>724924901Sex with arirals
>first ever playthrough, leave all my gas canisters in a pile in the garage>on its way back from server maintenance, Kerfur crashes into it and sets it off in an explosion that makes me shit myself>then Kerfur bursts into the signal room, on fire, and I scream IRL while trying to turn it off before it burns me to deathGenuinely scarier than any of the scripted stuff.
>>724948701it's probably one of the best quiet jokes the game plays, in that for all the horror shit, the actual scariest moments always happen because of Kerfur
>>724940095Third one was the best>Fixing servers gets you around the map and gets phased out fairly quickly>Hash codes keep it up longer but also get automated eventually and you don't even need to do them if you don't want to>Transformers break down pretty slowly and mainly exist so you can't stay inside the base 24/7 forever>The radio tower takes two seconds to fixAnd the part that ties it all together>ATV just works, doesn't have fifty different pieces with separate durability and resources, isn't slow, and doesn't lose a third of its health if you hit a small rock
>>724948701>I HAVE COMPLETED MY TASKS
>>724947341>>724947715second best method is hooking them to the ground and then just using the knockoff gravity gun to bash them over the head with a toolbox, moving back and forth while gravholding the toolbox can turn it into a big metal yoyo of death all while saying outside the hogs' range>>724947826>>724948107give me a knockoff of the junk jet from fallout 4, i will turn this horror into a comedy even more than i already have
>>724949263>hellish burning robot>nyan >w<
>>724950372Keith is objectively the best version of Kerfur.
what is the state of regular kerfur in 0.9does it still constantly get stuck in the river
>>724947826>>724948107Boy do I have news for you
>>724951013Sandbox only stuff, unfortunately.Very easy to cheat into story though. I go nowhere without my shotty.
>>724951013>laser pistol>grav gunnice, now you need ariral heavy plasma gun and you can kiss those grey tanks goodbye
Can you kill arirals yet?
>"hey, what if I used the portable PC as an advanced digital ma-"curse you nose, CURSE YOU
>>724954108lmao get optimized
>>724951013what are the names of these? I cant find them at all in sandbox
>>724954108I struggle to think of a reason to get the portable PC, every function of the PC is only really useful if you're already at the base to begin with. Even being able to do your disks in the field isn't an advantage since it still has to come to the base and be loaded up with your signals and tapes
>>724951013Neat, but I don't care as long as those guns can't be used to kill Arirals.
>>724956271It'd be nice to sv.target things while wandering but a PC won't let you do that.
>>724951013God I HATE the direction the game is going...Joel already memed the "objective SURVIVE" trope and this game feels like it's steps from getting a full on gunfight between the aliens
>>724957904The giant rosital pyramid was close to shark jumping territory but as a one off crazy spectacle it was fine I feel like we've entirely jumped the shark now with the rosital borg cube flying overhead, the gang fights between the arirals and greys and now the tankAt a certain point I can't suspend my disbelief to think that all of this shit is going on in isolation in the swiss mountains and the outside world has no ideaThe cozy atmosphere with occasional spooks and duende fuckery has long since been shattered
>>724924206Signals suck in this game anyways. The interesting ones are extremely rare and the rest are boring filler. Signal Simulator is way better when it comes to actual signals.
>>724917610signals are a terrible source of money anyway not like it really matters you do signals to make the ayylmaos do stuff you do anything else to actually make money
>>724923517It's probably too scary for him to read the unknown, just like your bitch ass dealing with the scary parts of the game.
>>724935369if your battery suddenly dies you probably just forgot to turn the headlights off
>>724933454yes, it's broken and does nothing right now
I actually like the vibe of barely having enough time to do anything early in the game because it feels like a fuck you to dr bao to actually get 4 level 3 signals done in one day with barely-upgraded devices
>>724945916she has a plush in 0.9 but idk what the spawn requirements are, if they're even implemented
>>724959209I always wonder what Dr Bao's reaction is when he requests 5 level 3 signals at midnight and I get them to him 20 minutes laterAt a certain point he has to realise I have 20 of these things backlogged and I'm just dripfeeding him them and he could ask for a bunch all at once
>>724958129>The giant rosital pyramid was close to shark jumping territory but as a one off crazy spectacle it was fine I actually love the pyramid because it's the first time something BIG happened, plus it worked as a fine way to end the wisps.The cube feels like the pyramid AGAIN and the whole fire fight after is just plain BULLSHIT
did they break attaching gas tanks to the incinerator to collect biofuel or am I just doing it wrong?
>>724960567someone else complained about it yesterday, and I couldn't get it to work eitherassume yes
>>724960237The Grays attacking the Arirals at least makes sense since Grays seem like they're the niggers of the universe where they just fuck with anyone but the cube is a bit much especially since it comes after the pyramid it just feels like a way to one up it when the only other events with the Rozitals that happen afterwards are the ATV cleaner and the Hole incident. Just replace it with a smaller ship that can't be seen from the next country over to clue in the player that maybe they still have business in the area
>>724960567You have to just rotate it in there and then open the valveIt doesn't slot in or anything you literally just place down and make sure it's facing the right wayI have no idea why it works this way but that's how it works
>>724960567fucking everything is broken this versionnose should really add a big fucking disclaimer to the itch page at this point because i guess "UNSTABLE SHADOW SUPER TEST" isn't quite cutting it
>>724960827Unstable shadow test doesn't imply that features that have been stable and working for well over a year are suddenly broken and unusableOne would assume that only the new features are the unstable part and not that they managed to break fucking everything somehow
>>724957904>full on gunfight between the aliensyou're several versions late for that
>>724960902wtf dr nose is doing, the arirals are completely broken too
>>724916857nose is an anti developer someone needs to take his unreal blueprints away
>>724961007Didn't Nose outright say that this was mainly a release for the Halloween event and that the actual main game part would be later?It's still fucking retarded that he broke as much as he did and he needs to consider using channels other than the fucking discord to give updates on the game, but if he's been building it on top of the new stuff it makes an amount of sense why the broken shit is included
On the topic of combat and guns. How would you feel about something like a potato launcher. Making it as a crafting thing and giving you a reason to farm potatoes. Maybe even give it an upgrade using the ultra rare pink crystals so it upgrades to a proper weapon and not just a silly toy.
>MREs can randomly explode into cockroaches now
>>724961543we already have the nail gun which should be effective against shit at least as basic as fossilhounds/pigs but which I'm pretty sure currently doesn't deal damage
>>724961543I think if Nose keeps combat at the single firetank (that you can let run out of fuel anyways), hogs, and fossilhounds that I have still never actually seen then Kel doesn't really need a "real" weapon.Solving your problems with clever thinking rather than just shooting them seems more in line for Kel being a scrawny astronomy nerd sent to die in the ultimate bad juju nexus. If you wanted to give him a projectile weapon I think the actual best option would be a flare gun, something he ostensibly has to signal for help that is never going to actually come pressed into service as an ad-hoc weapon like everything else in the arsenal currently
>>724961591>accidentally eat it because of button spam
>>724961543Trying to force combat into this game is a terrible idea. It simply isn't built for it.
>>724961895We should be given a matchlock musket. it'd be funny.
>>724962184>>724961895>>724961741For the record. I also don't think gun combat is necessary to the game. It was just something that popped into my mind. Flare gun sound nice too
>>724961895>man up and decide to fight the tank using a crowbar h2 style (I didn't know about the molotovs trick back then)>keep constantly slipping and falling to the ground>repeat ad nausea until the tank finally kills me>repeat this process until I finally managed to kill it only to tanks explosion that has for some reason huge radiusNever again. I simply ignore these fucks, same for boars. Not worth the time and effort.
I think nose has ptsd from every time joel has encountered an enemy in any horror game ever and just circled around a table where it cant get him
>>724963102The tanks an absolute bitch to fight the "intended" way. I don't know if it was something with my game but any time I threw a molotov it would just bounce and fail to explode, so I ended up using the gravity gun to wedge the tank on the fence for the transformer and beat the tanks off
I like the idea of improvised weapons but things unironically taking 8+ molotovs to kill is just comical with the amount of kiting required.Make molotovs more expensive to craft but make them more impactful so you don't have to spam them to accomplish anything.
>>724963309When I tried using molotovs they would simply pass through the tank and do jack shit. If noose wants to add more enemies into the game, he also needs to gives us SOME tools to deal with them. And no, despite how good the grav gun is it doesn't just cut it. Well, unless it's against a boar since you can overcharge and YEET the boar out of the map with it.
>>724961028I wish he would stop playing VotV
>>724964334nose would probably kill the game if he did that.
>>724964415No, he has his niggercord orbiters and stable income from it, Joel is just an accessory at this point
>>724922728Unless it's been fixed, some spook events still occur in ambience mode. I had the locker gibs event happen a couple times, as well as the mannequins all fucking off to that one satellite. It also keeps in things like the corpses of the previous employees in the basement and elsewhere.
>>724965316>as well as the mannequins all fucking off to that one satelliteis that an intended event? i always seemed like a bug to me with how that one just floats.
>>724948107>t. poisoned by the amnesia meme
I guess if you leave concrete int he bucket for long enough it cures. This'll probably be a paper weight or stepping stone or something.
>>724966998can you use the concrete to fill the horrid fucking cracks in the walls
>>724965872I think the new upackable MREs actually make food fatigue a non issue since each one contains multiple food items
>Please submit your reports!While the base is this filthy? Never!
>>724967162That's what it's for yes
How cheaty is it to start a second game and mailbox yourself stuff?
God damnit i've been really in the mood for a new playthrough but the update is so fucked right now that i really shouldnt. The picnic is also fucked btw, half of the stuff that should have been there didnt spawn.
>>724967162yes, actually
>>724967616I mean, if you already spent 40 hours in the game, why not?

>>724967664I know that Vivziepop didn't invent Stolas, he is from some old demonology book or something, but there is a 0% probability that this isn't inspired by Stolas from Helluva Boss.
>>724968935well yeah there's literally a helluva boss stolas sticker on the fridge
>>724969072I know, it's just that when I pointed that out in the past threads, people were always saying that "Vivziepop didn't invent Stolas".
>>724948107Earlier versions of the game poked fun at that by having a box of ammo on the base. It said something along the lines of "Now go find a gun :)"
>>724969167>>724969072Just because they reference something, doesn't mean it was the origin of its usage
>>724940095I think this anon said it really well. Nose keeps going one step forward, two steps back with everything. He adds in stuff, some good some bad, but then some of that stuff makes previously added stuff obsolete or useless, or just outright detracts from everything else (new busywork systems nobody asked for). For me the main draw was always hearing the signals and waiting for possible events they might trigger. Or events in general. Not spending 90% of my waking day driving and fixing broken shit with silly minigames.Haven't tried 0.9 yet, but I'm assuming even Omega Kerfus can't do anything with the new mechanics of triangulation towers etc? The whole fuse thing sounds insane. ATV changes sound cool on paper, as in there is more to maintain in the vehicle, but this ain't My Summer Car so I hope he won't go too far with it. Having it have both gas and a battery and individual tire health sounds pretty ass to keep track of.
>>724963205I don't know why devs don't program the npc to climb onto the object when a player does that
>>724969404Towers you have to go up and do yourself. I'd be happy to allow Kerfo to reset them like transformers but theres more incentive to prevent transformers from faulting out compared to just waiting on the coordinate towers to fail
>>724969435horror is seen as an easy genre to get into for indie devs and most of them probably aren't very good programmers
>....come here....MY NIGGER CAN YOU POST A MORE DOGSHIT PHOTO HOLY SHIT
I think there should be more scares and entities that don't activate paranoia
>>724928208Hold on, did someone actually get Otakel working in 0.8? I tried just using the mod for the version before that after updating but the new first-person model broke it.
>the soda machine is both more annoying to use because you need to get change and it also just runs out of stock, presumably foreverwhat is the point
>playing on linux through steam proton>proton creates an emulated file system for the game>if i want to migrate saves from 0.8 to 0.9 i have to copy and paste into this emulated file system because the directory the save is in doesn't actually exist and can't be accessed outside of the game>sitting here just closing and reopening the directory in game and mashing paste hoping for the 1 in 10,000 chance it actually pastes the file in thereI know this isn't a votv issue but I have to complain about this somewhere
So what's the deal with the event where there's an ominous sound in the sky but absolutely nothing else is happening? I can pause but can't save.
I'm waiting for the beta to see what's going to stay and what's going to go.

>>724971948>forcedthere's references to 72 different twitch streamers in the game I don't think nose had to be forced to add the lead 3D artist's fursona into the game in the form of an easter egg plushy

>>724975165Nuh-uh.>>7249758980.9 is the game's entry into alpha. Itch page says pre-alpha because 0.9 is technically not out yet. Alpha probably won't last as long as pre-alpha did.
>>724976917>Nuh-uhYeah you already know how to say this, Votv new update it will take months or 1 year
>>724976582Versions numbers are not decimalsFactorio went up to 0.18 before its 1.0 releasehttps://wiki.factorio.com/Version_historyNose isn't likely to release 1.0 any time soon, it'll reduce his revenue stream
>>724915003Whatever button you press, the light that is directly to the left or right of it along with said button you pressed will switch to the opposite color, from red to green and green to red. The goal here is to get every light flipped to green.
>>724915003I don't like this. Part of the reason I liked this game was because of how immersive collecting signals and managing the satellites were. This minigame is a step in the wrong direction. In fact they should've removed the math minigames for resetting the servers as well.
>>724916857Triangulation requires the 1, 2 ,3 keys, further en-rape-ning my Steam Decks ability to play.

>>724976582We're either exactly halfway or not even halfway through the planned "big factions" being introduced yet much less the three in the game WITH IN GAME DAYS DEDICATED TO THEM having all their stuff done.There's no way in hell it's close to 1.0>>724976698Found it in sandbox's spawn menu as "zaxplush" but I'm not sure if it's one of those secret items that requires the chicken burger achievement, nuclear ariral feeding achievement, or config mode whatever the fuck that does.It looks like it has some broken transparency on the fish's fin.
>>724977720I don't think Kel has the ability to send e-mails back otherwise I think he'd be sending shit like"HOLY FUCK THERE'S A FUCKING MONSTER IN THE FOREST WHAT THE FUCK IT'S TRYING TO KILL ME AND I'M GOING INSANE I'M SEEING THINGS THAT AREN'T THERE AND I'VE BEEN CONTACTED BY ALIENS HELP ME HELP ME GOD GET ME OUT OF HERE"
>>724977676yeah the labcoats look cooler
>>724927196Performance wise, it can now hold a solid 30 on my steam deck on low as opposed to a flat 20 at low a couple updates back. Gameplay wise, it's a bit bugged, I'm on day 45 and the Arrirals never spawned, plus using the Alt key for whatever reason degrades the radio towers durability, so if you Alt-Tab a lot it's nearly unplayable.
>>724977917>the Arrirals never spawned, plus using the Alt key for whatever reason degrades the radio towers durabilityThese are both known issues and not steam deck exclusive
>>724977864>"kool but can i get a quick dick pic?"
Uhh I can't turn him off.
the 0.9 update is still in experimental mode, it's not complete or even closed to balanced right now. First thing you're gonna notice is that server repair doesn't have a working timer on it to give you extra pointsWe should have known it was going to be in a super buggy state considering that Monique was still sharing sneak previews of asset models a few weeks ago.I don't think they should have released it on itch.io in this state, maybe just make it available for download through the discord
>>724978136Unplug him :)See where he goes :)
>>724978140honestly it's been so bad that they should have just released a gimped halloween-mode-only version and let the main game be until it's actually ready

>>724977656Factorios 0.1 was a "semi public release" in 2012, by actually competent devsIt took them 8 years to reach 1.0

the game randomly gave me this achievement while I was sleeping and I don't know what it refers to
>>724978416There is no way to compare Factorio with VotV. Factorio is a custom engine with painful levels of optimization where the core of the game is a selection of systems playing into each-other where the developer could spend days over a line of code thinking what the fuck is going on. VotV is more of a gallery of content dependent on how much the developer can cram in. VotV isn't actually in alpha as much as Dr.Nose likes to claim. It was never in alpha in any public release since the core functionality has been there since the start. There was never a code building phase. VoTV started off in Beta which is the content building phase and that has been effectively the only thing that has been going on since.

>>724915003>all new triangulation signal finding>can still get worthless blank signals>can still get Error 2: weak or no signal>takes an egregiously long time to perform when just starting outI had a miserable time signal finding in the first week.
>>724981351It's a broken test version where half the features are either broken in some way or missing. It's hard to judge the update on those terms.
does anyone have more concept art made by I-D-K-Y? she deleted almost all of themalso I found this link to some high res posters, some of which are used in game all drawn by IDKY herselfhttps://files.catbox.moe/ssijaa.zip
>>724977786How is she meant to be implemented characterwise? I can't imagine that you'll see her out in the world, and I don't think Stolas or ASO has much use for a fish expert
>>724981351The groundwork is good in theory, in reality this was pushed out a too early for the Halloween event and to gather feedback about the big system changes.For example the ATV rework is shaping up to be good with the multiple upgrades for it but with no way to recharge the battery aside from maybe solar panels it currently fucking sucks to have to spend a chunk of your points on a brand new battery.
>>724981607Of all the changes I've seen, the new one with the fuses seems like overkill, also did haschode really need to be changed? Why shouldn't Kerfus Omega be able to automate the process? The ATV is now completely worthless btw, its really just better to run everywhere.
>>724981436I just sold everything in a old file, moved all the points over, and put everything in Cooldown, Download, and Processing. Cause fuck that noise.
>>724982185Nose should really just make the coordinate towers be similar to transformers where if you want to put new fuses in and prevent a complete failure you have to go yourself, or you can send Kerfus Omega to reset it only if it fails entirely
>>724926604Airials mog those shitass navi any day of the week in any corner of the galaxy,
>>724981351Even the streamers I occasionally watch haven't bothered touching the game in over a year.
>>724981351When ,and if, it ever fully releases on Steam, I'm sure there will be a new wave of players discovering the limited cosmos and disquieting forest.
>>724982185Coordinate radar maintenance is broken because of the left-over ALT debug key which leads to them failing a lot more than they should as well as god knows what else went wrong in the compile that we just don't know about. And fuses are getting made cheaper and craftable ASAP.
What are your guys Wishlist for 1.0 Release?
>>724979297I don't care how hot and fertile Ena is, or how cute (and fertile) Max is, my wife is Esraniki.
>>724983687Ariral sex
>>724983943 >>724982609How breedable are arirals?
>>724915003might be a silly question but can you turn off the transformer minigame? in fact since its clearly quite unbalanced at the moment are there any other setting changes i should make so i can get the most out of playing this?
>>724985072even if here are settings they probably dont work right now kekyou should wait for the regular 0.9 release instead of the UNSTABLE SHADOW SUPER TEST that is currently available if you want to have a good time, or just play 0.8.2c
Anyone else getting tons of storms? I noticed there are seasons now, is it because its fall? I kinda associate rain for spring
>>724985072Not sure, there's a list of minigames you can disable and don't know if they are the TR minigamesYou can disable TR decay though, so you'll only have to deal with it during eventsCan be turned onoff any time you load a save
>0.9 is too buggy>went back to 0.8>have 2 miners and generator releases the stress of point management >your tree friends give free food and protect you from shitbox tank>chill in comfy base and cook steak
>>724985947But are you growing lemon trees by your pool?
>>724986029I have like 30-40 lemons trees, lost count but I am done with lemon harvesting since I got the 2 miners.
>>724986120The point isn't to get lemons, its to flex on the concept of "inside" by having plants growing in places they have no reason being
>>724977771Zip drive nostalgia.
>>724977771Or why we can't just email them.
>>724987256honestly adding zip and floppy drives to the game is peak
>>724987534There is no form of out going communications in the facility for lore reasons
>>724987256zoomer herewhat's the difference between a zip drive and a floppy
>>724989319size and technologyfloppies make use of magnetic tape technologyzips make use of similar technology that Hard drives use
>>724970730There's a restocking demon event apparently.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiP-H51v6bI
>>724915003guys, how the fuck do i clean up the small trash in the base in 0.9, ive got all the big clumps but theres bottles and shit everywhere, what do?
>>724990056nose the typa guy to code vending machines to have limited stock just so he can add this kinda horseshit
>>724989319They're just bigger floppies (100M vs 1.44M).>>724989684The drives were backwards compatible too iirc.
>>724976698She doesn't want you to know this, but Zex panties are free, you can just steal them. I have 27 pairs.
>>724990238craft it all into scrap
>>724925491Too concerned about realism and "immersion" instead of worrying about "is this fun?"
>>724990325sure, why not?an Infinite vending machine is also highly suspect.
>>724987256unc, almost nobody who's playing or developing this game was alive when zip drives were regularly used
>>724947826>If the Player has amazing rep with the Arirals, they either let him keep the gun on Day 24 or order him a new, slightly shittier civilian model when the Grays start doing shit if he returns itWouldn't be terrible.
>>724947826Wasn't there a craftable crossbow or something?
No one is ever gonna sit down and make that deep sea votvlike I want so nose should pick one of the four sides of the map and replace the fence with a beach and the land past the fence with a huge ocean and a little shead full of scary sea searching equipment.
>>724990550im pretty sure this game already has a set geographical position in switzerland that isn't near any large bodies of water
>>724981436>makes the ui worse as he goesIs nose a pajeet or something? Real time enshittification.
>>724981839apparently she's going to have her own shack on the map eventually (abandoned like everything else, though)
>>724990451Bro zip drives were barely used even when they were popular lol idk why else he would put them in.
>>724990642That's why you have to study the scary mystery ocen that exists deep in the middle of Sweden.
>>7249751650.8.naught was the best update.Don't firget dev builds do shig like 0.10 and 0.11, so it being 0.9 means fuck all when it comes to release closesness
>>724990707>the arirals got zaxHOW MUCH MORE CAN THEY TAKE FROM USTHIS GRUDGE MUST BE AVENGED
>>724990810I mean Switzerland.
Just lost my Fire Axe under the base, how do you crawl under there in 9.0, looks like it's not the usual spot?
>>724990707There should be co-op, with her being the second player.
>>724979164>have like 4 bases scattered a little bit fron eachother>Proximity Chat lets you just faintly hear the screams of the closest base>Nose throws in an entity that listens to your mic, records a few things, then spawns a dopple-ganger to fool your alliesIt'd be nice
>>724991076>isolating a male/female pair of childhood friends at a remote facility with no outside contactBabies guaranteed.
>>724985072>>724990238PROTECTIVE SHIELDPROTECTIVE SHIELD
>>724990814Isn't it still considered alpha? So yeah it can go 0.10 but it could also go to beta 0.01 as well
>>724991085God this has nothing to do with votv but just a little while ago I was day dreaming about a multiplayer game where the main gimmick was that you and then other guy were really far away from each other. Like think two bases on two separate mountain peaks far enough away that you can just barely see each other through strong binoculars.
there's really not a single new actual event or even SIGNALS in 0.9? that fucking sucks
>>724992650>There is a video of a new event posted in this thread>No new events
>>724992754If you're referring to the fucking restocking one you can't expect me to believe that's all there is for a .X update, usually these are the biggest ones by a considerable margin
>>724990325I mean, as long as it gets refilled.
>>724992830>Release pushed out for the Halloween meme event>Obviously unfinished>Several things from previous versions are disabled>Debug commands left intactWe got a new map, new base, new gameplay, new locations, but no this isn't a #.X update because you've not found any new events yet
>kel starts hallucinating food >one of the hallucinations is just maxwellis maxwell still considered a piece of food internally? kek
>>724993164If you shake him up and down hard enough, he explodes into a meat ball, which you can then turn into a patty, cook and eat
>>72499324710/10 game of the year material.
Any exploits or whatever to just spawn a sellgun in, the one from the save Ive been using since the first base/map overhaul finally got corrupted and I really dont have to patience to do that whole manual selling process for the 8th time
>>724993441I saw it on a RubixRaptor vodDuring the course of his first playthrough, he managed to accidentally Maxwell 3 or 4 times
>>724993593Sandbox saves can be converted to story saves simply by changing the save file's filename. Make a sandbox save, spawn whatever shit you need, convert it to story, put the shit in the mailbox, and then grab it in your actual save.
some of the dishes are set up such that they can be pointing straight through a mountainside when the signal is in a certain spot
>>724993757Huh, what format do you need to convert it to?
>>724991610>Not realizing that that's the pointThe glowies are salivating at the thought of a child conceived in the middle of the bullshit Kel regularly experiences.
>>724993916just rename the save from b_* to s_*
>>724993773it's in the hands of an novice game development teamplease understand
>>724993773
>>724993773voices of the dwarves
>>724993982oh neat,thanks anon
>>724933598Turns out it was the restocking demon Stolas has on payroll.
Is DrNose still banned for building a nuclear bomb?
is the village place from 0.9? i remember the old house out there, but the fuck is with the weird turret system now?
>>724993773desu it's kind of retarded to have a radio telescope array in such a mountainous area. At least put them on top of the hills you know.
>>724994832Village is new, yes. An expansion on what used to just be a house. And it's not a turret system, it's Stolas himself smiting you for being a trespasser.
>>724995007in defense of the game's lore, switzerland is kind of bereft of non-mountainous areas so I'm assuming they have to make do, but yeah some of these placements make no sense
>>724995057I couldn't get a fucking look because it perfectly smited my atv which was instant death
>>724994832>>724995057On my first night I had some kind of crazy event going on out there. All I could hear was that white diamond thing flying around and firing its cannon as fast as possible and lightning striking the village about every 3 seconds or so. I went out to check it out and just a few seconds after hopping the fence the white thing caught me and shot me through the trees before I could see it was there. Never got to find out what was going on. Maybe even just a bug for all I know.>>724995007I think the SETI complex is built in a valley surrounded by mountains to block radio signals. The valley in VotV is just too narrow.
I think this update is extremely good albeit extremely flawed tooActual putting a focus onto the core game and job of the game instead of just slapping more events into the VOTV blender was the most based thing Nose has done in a long, long timeBUT they gotta adjust some shit, namely making the floppy disk writing less aggravating (I don't see why they couldn't make the writing to disk a minigame honestly), and tweaking the coordinate towers a bit. Either giga nerf the fuse costs or just make them more stable on their own, fixing those two things will make this the best update since forever.
what are some things you wanna see in the next update? minus fixes and such
>>724995907fuse price is going down in 0.9.0bthis changelog is wip and updated somewhat daily
>>724995907>>724996169Cost down to 50, also craftable for a cost of about 10
>>724995907apparently the tower health doesn't go down that fast normally, it's just that ALT apparently damage the towers (debug left in, should be gone by next stable)
>>724996169>patch drops>fuses now cost 200
>>724996126-An intro cutscene of Kel getting dropped off at the Gate-More unique signals-signal finder reverted back to the previous version
>>724970763>into this emulated file system because the directory the save is in doesn't actually exist and can't be accessed outside of the gameI am very late with this help, but Proton creates what are basically Wine prefixes under~/.steam/steamapps/compatdata/You can find the emulated file system in one of the folders there.
>>724996246ALT?
>>724996453don't know why I typed it in fullcaps
>>724996453>>724996492Its fullcaps on my keyboard
>>724996453>>724996492Yeah, pressing the alt key damages the towers, why nose even chose that as a debug key instead of something like backslash or page down is anyone's guess.
>>724996614>>724996492holy shit what I've been spamming the fucking ATV horn like a madman as usualis there any way to unbind it?
I have no idea where this is supposed to be
>>724996956It's not a location, it's a creepy cosmic face.
>>724997034I thought it was an aerial snapshot of somewhere on the base, I can't perceive that as a face at all kek
>0.9>still no proper kerfur stand, have to just lay him against walls awkwardly when not in use
>>724997114>He doesn't lay him on a table so he can frankenstein larp every time he turns kerfus on.
>>724997074oh it's a lot easier in thumbnail form
Okay I think I'm encountering a semi-obscure issue with new optimization tactics.There's been a couple of times where some object I wanted to pick up has become intangible, as in it no longer has a grab hitbox and other objects just phase through it, only for it to suddenly snap back into existence some distance away, often half-clipping into furniture or a wall.Has anyone else got something like that or is this part of the new schizophrenia event?
>>724996956We getting Greys?
>>724997424in case you didn't know, greys are already sort of in, they're the faction that aggressively fucks with the player instead of just playing harmless pranks
so, they definitely designed the coffee machine art to look like a skull from distant angles right?
>>724997478Thought those were Space Kitties doing
>>724997857The pranks like the paper mache catapult are the space cats.The cyboars and flame tank are the greys.
the fact that you can send back empty car batteries and they're still worth 75 points makes their price feel a little more reasonable
Hey is it me or is there a spooky face in the Hazmat suits top left.
The Roz things are up in the mountains projecting purple light, how do I end this event?
>>724997946Ooh I though those were the Rozzies
If only you could actually see the Greys themselves
>>724998740I've 100% gotten an event where an apparition of a grey appeared over the toilet seat
>>724997782Most definitely
>>724998791That's not a grey. That's a duende (or however you spell it)
>>724990325>>724990426>one vending machine is stocked by a monsterit'd be cool if nose had an anomalous machine with food/drink thats always just a bit off.
I just saw the Anti breather for the first time. I thought it was just some slow little werido, then out of nowhere the thing sprinted at 50x my own speed into the mountains.
>>724991610>>724993931>conceiving a child>in the middle of dunkeltaler>a region so unloved by god that several alien races are aware of this terrestrial hellThe flesh colossus under the forest would tear itself out of the planet and fling itself into deep space just to get away from the child of Dunkeltaler. It'd be the antichrist x100.
>>>/wsg/6020599https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1762317182570111.webmYou can hear something in this corner of the rec room if you're up against the ceiling. It's not the broken TV, the source is a bit offset to the side; and the TV in the dorms doesn't make any noises far as I can tell.Do the vents run through this spot? God I'm not mentally prepared for ventcrawler to make a comeback
>>725000979I can hear that in my game as well. If there are vents there they aren't accessible from the usual section. You used to could get into the large vent in the staircase, but I'm not sure if you still can. I don't remember if there was any ducts heading in that direction from there or not.
>>725000979>>725001791Ok, I actually bothered to check and you still can get into the big vent. And there is a duct in there going seemingly nowhere right where that sound is coming from.
>>725002553fffuuuuuuck
>anons are getting spooked by the sounds of a rusted old ventilation system rattling as air passes through it
>>725002856yeah man and the ships kel sees are just weather balloons, fucking fedI KNOW WHAT I SAW
>>725002875You're imagining things. Clearly, it's a lack of sleep. You should go to bed and rest up. I wouldn't worry about a thing. There's nothing out there coming after you. We certainly wouldn't be bothering some isolated scientist in the middle of nowhere.
>>72500285I'll believe it as soon as you can tell me where that duct goes. It doesn't go to the back of the building or the roof.Also while I was on the roof to check I got attacked by this thing. It lunged at me from all the way across the river and got me.
>>724920461nigga whatwithout a fanny pack, you can carry EVERYTHING the drone delivers besides the tapereel tin, which you can hold in-hand. I ALWAYS carry the axe, hook and ATV keys and can still carry everything to the console in the morning.
>>725000979I want it to be added already just because I want a threat whose head I can cave in myself. Especially since it's already doing things in the base. The place is so unsafe that it genuinely bugs me, so being able to personally and definitively kill a threat there would be great for my peace of mind.
>>724991610I think breeding would commence once Signals become a pointless task once they get enough supplies to live comfortably
OJOJOJOJOJ
>>725000979I dont like that
>>725003138Wish I was recording, I don't think it liked me looking at it. Also that reply was supposed to be for >>725002856
>>725003138That's kinda scary.
>>724997946>>724998704Arirals = pair of vacationing space cats relaxing and messing with the local fuccboi nerd if the kidnapping and vaccine events are to go by, at least one of them is DTF.Rozzitals have business in the mountains, it's a known intergalactic fuckery spot they have to keep tabs on. Friendly with the AriralsGrays = intergalactic assholes, unironically. They only show up because they want to get a few hostile jabs on the vacationing Arirals because they're there. They target Kel too because they're assholes
Which faction is operating the mannequins? Or are they their own thing?
>>725004057If you see two really bright white eyes looking at you in the trees try not looking at them. It grew teeth when it got mad and it was in my face in about 3 seconds.
>Framerate in the base gets worse with every update if you want to be able to SEE anything>every light you turn on costs exponentially more frames>finding light switches in the dark is fucking annoyingGod forbid you wanna place decorative lights.
>>725004115Theres apparently three Arirals, unless that's been changed.The Grays are also even more fucked up than that unless this is also changed lore but the Grays as a whole are intergalactic remnants of a fallen empire still operating under orders from long dead leadership[/spoilers]>>725004216Mannequins are probably the result of the spiritual or demonic shit happening at the forest, theres at least one other wood based entity as well
>>725004216They're made of wood from the trees in the forest. You know, the ones that move?
>>725004362Recommend the motion lights, they aren't actually motion activated, they work by line of sight up to a certain distance (note that the base doors are invisible to them).
>>725004568The explanation about the Greys I heard was that they were occult meat freaks that were slowly rotting alive and forced to stroggify themselves because they worship a dead (demon?) god, and that they were targeting the Arirals because their bullshit super technology could fix their bodies. What you're saying might be the new version.Them being homicidal shitheads was always the case, though.
>>725004115DTF? That means they’re probably in heat then
>>725005868One did lay an egg.
>>725006024the egg is their piss/shit unironically
>>725006298If that’s the case, maybe it’s a claiming ritual. Like how cats piss on stuff to claim it as territoryBut if not, maybe they rode Kel’s Human Shaft while he slept and gave him the egg as maybe the males are the ones who are supposed to take care of the young
>>725002856Unintentional scares are the best in this game. The intended ones suck.>oh haha it's a spooky event except you don't know where and then it despawns before you see it oops!
I really hate how the video cameras don't work, they seem like fun gimmick. Especially if you could convert them to VHS tapes and play them on the CRT TV.
>>725006743this game needs a nightshirt and a nightcap that makes kel honk-shoo when you sleep with them on
the game feels pretty lonely without the arirals having a base of operations
I didn’t know you can spot the greys, I thought it was just hinted they were in the game
this jit cracks kerfuses
What's the best way to store all the metal, electronic etc scrap bits? I don't have the points to buy tons of boxes or crates but even so scrap seems to take up so much space that boxes don't seem like a long-term solution
>>725007654cardboard boxes are pretty much the only option for large storage, and even then you probably need at least 2 or 3 of the largest one if you're scrapping your entire base
>>725007654Just throw them in a pile in the a corner.
>>725007762kills your fps and it's way harder to grab the specific scrap you need for recipes
>>724981798i'd delete it myself if everything I drew either got ignored or twinkified by a proto-tranny
>>724994041Diggy diggy hole....Heave-ho, rock and stone.....That's going in the book.....
>>724990056>all the grey coins just vomit onto the also grey floornose really needs to add an option to make objects that dispense items (like the floppy drives) just deposit them directly into the player's inventory instead of just falling to the floor. i understand it's sorta comedic but it's also really annoying after the first like 5 times
>>724993247>repeatedly go out cunting (cat hunting) for the sole purpose of shucking and frying the cats you find>use MREs as roach bait to then have free crawly snacks>only send bao counterfeit, exploding and low quality drives but still get paid>repeatedly down the powergrid solely because of your cryptominersthis game is just chinaminmaxxing in disguise
>>724993773and, more importantly, they're all on different elevations, completely defeating the point of a radio interferometer. you'd be getting complete static every time you received a signal>BUT THAT'S LORE YOU NEVER GOT ANY SIGNALSretardation does not excuse bad narration
>>725009701>use MREs as roach bait to then have free crawly snacksGuilty, but I did it more to see how big roaches can get.
>>725009485>that's going in the bookHow's urist going to watch the match otherwise you wazzok leaf lover
>>724977786How did this happen? Did Nose see the fan art and decide to add a reference to her?
>>725010814The artist is on the team now, anon.
>>725010850Oh. Well, good for Lole, I suppose.
>>724915003whens this shit coming to steam.
>>725010814Nose hires artists when they draw good porn of his game, true fact
>>725010934It’s free Nigga
>>725011069Shit like this is why I don't like him.
>>724990238I just mash e and r to pick it up quickly and stow it in the drone bag.
>>724980021It's gonna suck if they ever make them aggressive like the evil birch.
So is it safe to say that waiting a month or so for the 0.9 content to get ironed out and made less of a hassle + resource drain is a good idea?Also can you actually play music from more than one radio/get a portable music source now?
>>725004216My pet theory is they're technically Rozitals:There's pink crystals deep underground, in the caves. You know, the same pink crystals that pilot in gigantic brass machines like they're mechas and need millennia to grow sentience?Same crystals that make their way into reanimated fossilized skeletons and turn into houndsSame crystals in the geological strata the copper William the goat is made of, a statue that is known to move.Same crystals sitting next to the uranium that powers kerfus omega, a robot that has should have no right being this easy to build for a roach-eating, wannabe astronomerAnd most damning of all: Same crystals in the soil the trees, moving trees, feed on. Whose wood the mannequins are most likely made out of.
>>725011069I wouldn't expect anything less from a zigger coomer gooner
>>725011198nigga, I want to be finished
>>725011525you're putting entirely too much thought into someone's goonfuel game
God I hope we get a more official look at our Space Cats
>>725012372>4 fingersnot an ariraland you really, really, really don't want that
>>725009312Wasn't I-D-K-Y the one that came up with the twink design for Kel though
>>725012570No. Absolutely not.
>>725012372Ah, yes, horror game.
>le Source>made in Unrealcan't make this shit up. shit doesn't even work. tried to play it, doesn't load past the trigger warning. my potato pleb pc it too weak for this masterful piece of game design. many such cases in vidya these days, unfortunately.wineserver just crashes and complains about "too many open files" (the max is 1024 btw; how the fuck do you even open that many files? tried raising (doubling) the limit, made no difference. kek) what a joke. sigsim doesn't run for me either, but at least that didn't LARP as some retro deal. (sigsim's better btw; wanted to give this a chance just to be sure, and yep, this is shit)I'll try again in another 20 or so years, when whatever supercomputer this was designed for is being sold in the bargain bins, onboard toasters and smart tvs or whatever.curse lousy game devs, peace to all the rest.
>>725011596I don't care, making crackpot theories is fun
>>725012727I don't know why but I want to punch Max in the face
>>725013207I'd put my children in Max then marry Ena

>>725012727What happened to the two scientists that used to email us before BaoWhat did you do to them
>>725013354*rubs weirdly scientist-shaped belly*urp didn't see them sowwy
>>725011519For an actual playthrough yeah but what's here right now is interesting enough to check out to see how its changed.Didn't try the first one but there is an ATV upgrade that installs a radio on it which you can use while driving.
>there are spooks in the game>most of those spooks requires you to either go to very specific places on specific conditions (time of the day, day number, etc.)>all this while you still need to do signalslaving for Baothis is retarded
