Thread 724767193

coordinates radar communication error
need to repair the new radar towers with new fuses they cost 100 per, you HAVE to repair them manually Omega can't do it.
ATV now requires a battery and new wheels when damaged 100 per
Now you have to juggle floppy, zip, tape machines, AND triangulation?!.
The wall of text tutorial doesn't even tell you how this stuff works, and even if it did, there's so much crap to juggle you'll never get any free time to explore for paranormal shit.
He did relegate the non-canon game ending spooks to the funny menu, so that was nice.

>play a job simulator
>there are jobs to do
:O

did the day get extended to compensate? doing the new shit wouldnt be so bad if time/hunger/stamina was altered as well to support it.

Should I see a doctor?

>>724767353
I couldn't find time to do anything so I just built a crypto miner and told Bao to sod off. Day 15 and I still haven't turned in a single signal, and with the return on my crypto I don't have much incentive to anyway. It pays more to strip the copper wiring from the base than to actually do any work.

>>724767353
I think people are bitching and moaning because they are still in the early game where you are supposed to not have time for everything.
What I personally worry about is if im diligent with tasks every day I will advance the story too fast before managing to clean up the base. This is my first time playing it so I dont know.

>>724767536
just extended it yourself in sebbings :DDD

>>724768497
I literally just built Omega to avoid it.

What kind of stuff do you guys have playing on your TV’s?

Haven't played in years, did he went Escape from Tarkov route, making everything insufferable despite what players wanted?

It's here I focused on only doing hashes and cleaning. Fucks sake. I do think there is a larger point where Nose forgot to take some things in to account. Didn't he nerf signals needed per day BEFORE precisely because it wasn't reasonable?

in the tutorial you can just bring the other cursors to the main one with the numbers keys to triangulate signals but I don't see the upgrades for that. Please don't tell me it has something to do with the bolted panel on the back of the console

>>724773070
the signal is meant to have a fade animation but it's bugged because lmao

>>724773070
A shame that Signal finding the games main gimmick is best avoided atm.

OJOJOJOJOJOJOJOJ

>>724773414
>>724773581
I think one flaw in Nose's plan here is, I assume, the old system basically locked the signal in from the first press. You're just waiting to learn if RNG favored you or not. Now the entire anim has to play out BEFORE the signal expires before it grabs it. Between having to move every node and the anim, that's more opportunity for a signal to just.. vanish.

>>724773070
feel its safe to say that the pre-base-update era of the game was undeniably lightning in a bottle.
everything that was done right has been horrifically mangled to near unrecognizability, and everything done wrong has only been made ten times worse.
not to mention the continual performance degradation. surprised that the game's not impossible to play even with volumetric lighting off.

doing hashes wouldn't suck so much if I wasn't hit with errors for 10 minutes irl

>>724772160
>making the codenigger implement an in-game browser
Please no I don't want even more nodeslop

>>724775413
All the new systems feel a bit timesinky in a vaguely survival game where you're always slowly starving to death / falling asleep. I remember the new player experience already being a bit rough and that was many versions ago. Fucking with an game object you don't understand using a control system you're struggling with can use a lot of IRL time. Running ok so far on my potato, though.

>>724775270
Honestly the triangulation just seem like tedium for no reason.

>>724775927
I got one one my 2nd try, but I spent several minutes scrolling just trying to find a blip.

>>724775270
I think most of this opinion is just people being salty.

But Nose has certainly tripped over his own face in violating the basic gameplay loop. Most people aren't going to be wiki hunting or doing all the stuff you can only know about via the discord. They're going to be interacting with the basics. Not earning money through weird gameplay loopholes either. Nor will people be mailing themselves 10k points worth of stuff from iterative saves piling up.

Signals being the WORST way to progress is a bad look and a bad feel. Particularly cause there's still stuff tied to doing them even if you can earn points better ways.

Do my old webms work today?

What's the new Omega recipe?

You don't want to know

>>724775810
new players have been screwed for a while, and naturally its only gotten worse.
the game will die because its too easy for a clueless new player to fall into a deathsprial thanks to the game's time economy being FUCKED.

some other's ive forgotten but you get the point.
feels like the game's difficulty is optimized for experienced players, and not people who just picked up the game and are going in almost blind

I repaired mine and on the way back it broke again because it was storming, the main problem here is that the fuses costs way too much to keep the 3 towers functional

why do the walls look worse than before?
I don't mean cracks and dirt, but the design and texture is worse than the previous walls, it's fucking weird

>>724780718
It's optimized for streamers that already played the game for a years.

>>724781479
Why are you so mad at people who play this game?

>>724782109
Not that anon, but...

Do you seriously not get how a game being built exclusively for no-lifers and chasing off fresh blood is bad?

>>724782219
If this game launched with everything it has now, for the first time, you wouldnt be bitching. You're just upset that you actually have to play the game.

>>724782219
What shit, if any, is "optimised for streamers" anyway? What does this mean?
All the fun events happen outside, so we added more gameplay to make you GO OUTSIDE, STREAMERS PLEASE STOP HIDING IN THE BASE AND FUCKING GO OUTSIDE.

>>724768497
you are literally an average human, yes be scared

Is there any easier way to pick up all this damn garbage other than one at a time?

>>724784321
Maybe you could use the broom to at least move it to one area
Also the wheely cart in the upstairs storage room has unique properties that keeps items placed inside it from falling out

I'm I stupid or didn't we used to be able to put a fuel can on the furnace?

I dunno niggers. To me the update seems like a great addition. The only bad part is having a shit explanation for everything. I think anons are just crying because they have played the game multiple times already and have no sense of novelty in general.
Half the game is spoopy shit and the other half is cleaning up and personalizing your base. Both things are helped or extended in this update. You are now made to do more of the thing that is the core of the game rather than just sitting in the base permenantly and waiting for new signal. I mean, yeah, more signals better but what has been added improves on the other mechanics.

>>724775270
Fork the goddamn game

what can I do with broken fuses?

>>724788034
save them for now, might be used in a crafting recipe

The coolers seem less efficient now, almost had my rig blow up with one cooler to spare.

>>724767193 (OP)
If only the zip/floppies worked as well as the tape drives. Also the new tape reel box works differently for no reason.

>Just got an achievement called "Where do you think you're going" after the ATV teleported back to base with me on it as I backed it out of the garage

>inspired by signal simulator

bravo

what does the new upgrades do? he didn't update the page on hints and tips

>>724789975
>he doesn't know

>>724789975
you didn't hit a numpad button did you?
I'm assuming you accidentally clipped through the world with the ATV, causing it to be teleported to the emergency teleport safe zone (iirc Num 0) with you on it.
If you had clipped outside just by yourself you would have been teleported to the maze and your game would crash.

>>724789975
The ATV is an unstable interdimensional object in this version. Be very careful with it.

>>724789975
>"Where do you think you're going"
Ancient bug still not fixed.
My biggest peeve is putting a 3.5 inch floppy into the 5.25 inch drive, but I guess most players won't spend 5 minutes trying to put it into the historically correct slot.

Fuck it man I just switched to easy

I can't take the 3 hashcodes + 5 drives + broken coord tower + Arial fingering my asshole on a daily basis

What older version is the best?

>>724791201
either 0.6 or 0.7

v: waaah nose should add more singals waaah

>How do I put tape in drone bag?
Just drop it in?
Maybe hold and move it using the inventory?
It's too big to put in the inventory proprely...
Hold and left click?
Hold and right click?
Maybe grab and left click? right click?
Long mouse click? Other long mouse click?
E again. Long E press? R? Long R? Shift R? Shift E? Long Shift+E? or with R?
No, it's shift+leftclick FUCKS SAKE.

When I asked for more gameplay I didn't mean taking everything we were doing for years and adding a dozen mini steps to it.

>>724791601
This is why you should watch v-tuber tutorial guide video on the new features
Reminder that if n when you buy the upgrades for your machines, you need to manually put them in. If you do it wrong you will explode.

>>724791601
The tutorial tells you this.

And there's a note right beside the drone call panel

>>724791736
>>724791748
I did both. It's just needed about an hour in after thinking you've semi-gotten the hang of it. Then you need this weird unique combo just to do one thing.

Increase the day length in the settings, the game is comfy again.

>>724793393
does the day length setting even work this version? I've tried both x0.5 and x2 and seen no difference, same number of ':' blinks per minute if you look at a clock.

has anyone tracked down any new secret stuff?
I found some chained doors to what looks like a second basement under some crates by the ATM, but nothing Ive tried has busted them, as well as an out of place panel in the basement behind some crates that you can knock down, then break the wall behind it to another section with stairs, a pool of water and a fuckload of coal blobs, it doesnt seem to connect to the first one either

>>724793393
>not rawdogging the default experience
ngmi

>>724795321
the chained doors leads to a wine cellar filled with, you guessed it, wine. it's sort of unfinished looking and has some wall seams so i assume it's getting the same later implementation treatment as the bunker. there's functional items in it though so i'm not sure. you can get to it easy in sandbox

>>724795321
there's a door in the meat locker, but I couldn't figure out where it lead to

did he add any more tutorial secrets?

>>724797265
the reverse, the tutorial secrets have been disabled because they're not finished yet
The only "new" thing is that the screamer monster enemy spawns again behind the breakable wall with the note on it, and if you dodge past it lure it back to the tutorial room and abuse its ai of coming directly at you to walk it down the spiral stairs several more will spawn

>>724787609
I find the servers work better when I hold them at gunpoint.

>hunt for pings with the yellow reticle because its faster than the points
>use the right side buttons to call each point over instead of dragging each point
for all the stuff nose locked down in the tutorial this should have been one thing he made you do

>>724799069
Why is the cooldown tied to both the ping and the cord movement?

>>724799240
who knows, at least it's only half as long on calling the coordinates.
at the end of the day triangulation makes ping cooldown about ten times as valuable as it used to be

>>724768809
Couldn't get it working last update, will try again now I guess

So is Wolfgang genuinely hostile now or did I just take damage when I bumped into his head due to physics fuckery. Fucker came into my base without even using a pumpkin to summon him and I'm stuck on top of my fucking desk and I'm afraid to come down because he keeps staring at me and jerking his head towards me like he's going to bite me and I'M SCARED

>>724799652
U fool, He now knows where you live and gave him communications to the outside world

Who the fuck keeps fucking with the Cord 1 device!? Every goddamn day!

>>724799652
Wolfgang is oddly active this version, lots of people reporting getting visited by her on day one and stuff. Might be a glitch. As for hostility, another guy in these threads had the same shit happen to him, so I guess she does do damage now somehow. I don't think she's fully hostile though, just neutral like AB. Just so happened that she's right where you are so it feels like a direct attack.

>>724798701

>>724801414
I just want like, a vacuum cleaner or something. Something that can suck up a lot of garbage quickly. Hell make it 2000 points, just give us the option.

>>724782406
the rv physics alone make this "game " shit

>>724801414
He really went overboard with the trash piles. Motherfucker added so many that there's trash piles clipping through walls and causing physic objects to freak out

>>724780718
Sounds to me like you're just too retarded to figure the game mechanics out.

>>724802387
It could be worse
the ATV could now have wheel durability and a battery that drains, along with a fuel cost

>>724805613
Save files have been very compatible and if the worst comes to the worst you can sell off your large items stuff, put smaller items and money in the mailbox, and pick it up in a new save (which you can set to start on they day you left off the last one).

>>724805938
i heard they made the sponge worse somehow too

>>724806790
not sure about that, but if you spill water on the signal consoles they explode

>>724791516
He didn't add more signals though, he just lengthened the process to get the ones we already have. Hell for how long the tutorial it doesn't even explain how the new tasks work, it just tells you, you'll figure it out when you play the main game? Then there's the increased costs for everything, fuses, tires, modules, that you now have to manually unscrew the system to add, the atv now has a second fuel gauge for power. Has Nose never heard of an alternator before? This game has messed up, because when I see the anti-breather at night my first thought was "This is gonna cut into my profits".

Lubrication

>>724807380
True, but reel tapes are a free 25 pts per day, MREs have more food in, no more manual hashes. The first few days were always a bit rough. And there's plenty of difficulty related settings.

>>724778267
Long as shit, and basically needed if you want to pull off the days tasks. You need to buy a hook, fish out the bunker key card, buy the password changer, collect the Omega guide book from the bunker, buy a scuba mask and oxygen, head to the lake and fish out a safe, the safe might be bugged so you might have to break it with a hacksaw (buy a hacksaw) to get the Omega module, buy a shovel, and hazmat suit, dig up the radioactive capsule nearby one of the electrical stations, buy a good quality camera, go to at least 2 electrical stations and find the hidden limb joints, go to I think Romeo and dig up the patch of dirt looking for the Ball Joints. Now I hope you haven't cleaned your base yet, because you now need to use nearly half of all that junk lying around (not joking) to make, 8 Electrical scraps, 7 Metal scraps, 14 Plastic scraps, 1 glass scrap, and lastly... you need to buy 2 Base Kerfurs and disassemble them at the work bench to get 4 Kerfur parts because one Kerfur has ONE part less than you need. Enjoy your bot, it can't fix the Radio towers so their big use of never having to leave the base is diluted by still having to fix 3 whozitwhatsits. took 8 days straight to get everything together doing nothing but this, if you go at a leisurely pace or god forbid cleaned your base, you're basically locked out of it for how much of a pain it becomes.

Like a quarter of the games events are tied to them though.

>>724809098
Not exactly, the Radio Active capsule can't be bought, and idk how to get more of them, plus, again, the high resource costs basically require you to clean out the base of garbage purely for this one recipe, imagine having to collect that after making your base spotless, the absolute point costs to buy up enough crap to create the base ingredients is absurd.

Does the basement freezer do anything yet?

>>724809350
Mine Craft my man.
>radioactive capsule can be crafted with 4 compressed radioactive material, 4 metal scrap, and a gas welder. It requires a blueprint which can be found at the Green Hatch.
You have to open the cave, go inside the cave, find the randomly generating rare resources, mine that shit and extract, you need like 16 to make one capsule

Anyone have a fix for the t.v crashing on Linux? It used to be WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1 but it's not working anymore.

it's not just that singular patch somehow being a crack in the concrete.

>>724812287
the hose is for watering crops, not walls
to clean walls use a sponge or a power washer

>>724812027
You thought that was easy?

>>724768809
I made this starter pack a few days for people who haven't gave the tv prop a try yet or people who wanted a dash of eeriness to the atmosphere playing in the background

It was worse when you had to go inside the cave for quartz

Is it better to buy individual garbage bags or rolls for earning money?

>>724813786
Individual bags are more money efficient, rolls are more convenient

>>724767193 (OP)
This game looked cool a couple years ago, but now it looks like its gone into "incomprehensibly complex autism game" territory while also removing the slow burn chill horror it started with by adding too much shit.

>>724813786
Literally forget about the trash bags. Shovel piles to turn them into regular trash, combine all of it into scrap and sell.

convince me to play this game.
I don't even know what genre it is other than spooky and signal towers.. and alien cats?

>>724815459
Buddy, i'm a returning player and this update is too much. Good luck friend, you'll need.

>>724815642
uh dunno maybe I just won't play it then

>>724815459
Job simulator about getting space signals with some spooks and some funnies and a bit of comfy.
Maybe don't try the 9.0 though

>>724815737
>Job simulator
okay I'm not touching it

>>724815243
How shovel. Where get. What do.

>>724815828
I think there's one in the rafters of one of the transformers

>>724815459

I'm sure its nothing.

Info from previous version, assume they're still mostly the same
Rafters and Shed are easiest to get, don't lose them they don't respawn and you can't buy them

>>724815726
I'm not trying to convince you at all.

>>724767193 (OP)
Haven't played since the base redesign
How is it now?
I didn't love the redesign because it felt like the soul of the game was getting diluted with jokey shit and more meaningless busy work.
I get WHY its being put in, but still.

I heard theres a new transformer mini game?

>>724807923
I actually liked manual hashes at the start. It became part of the morning routine to keep me from going full shut-in.

>>724817290
Base got re-redesigned, transformers got 1 minigame for upkeep +2 for repairing, and some other shit but it's almost purely big mechanical changes right now and little "signal content" or new events.
The most new content was in the Halloween mode while the rest feels like putting it out both to have a Halloween update and to get feedback for the new interaction system, floppy disks, zip drives, delivery drone, signal searching, transformer managing, radar repairing, atv upgrades, server upgrades, module upgrades, and so on to the point I know I'm forgetting more but this is the biggest changes to the actual systems of the game.

>>724817290
The transformers have a panel that retracts and has 3 minigames under it. If it goes down you have to do all 3, if you wanna refresh it you only need to do one.

>>724817290
The delivery drone has a big change, it now needs to be manually loaded/unloaded
Pretty cool in that you can fill it with infinite everything, but kinda shit in that it wakes you up at midnight to get unloaded

tried the new update a bit in sandbox and in infinite mode (just a day to get to day 51 to unlock config in the world setting, apperntly it's per world and im not sure what it does, not starting a proper new save until the game gets fixed), new base looks neat and i like being able to finally fix the walls, but the fake fire exits are dumb.
I prefer the new signal system simple because the old one was genuinely fucking awful, having to move the super slow cursor for 10km just for the signal to disappear or the game telling you no, so you have to do it 5 times on average at the start, i only got 3 signal so maybe i was lucky but so far signal catching was far easier,but you could argue that nose should have just removed the chance for signal catch to fail
Tape task is very simple and pretty much freebie,i like it even if just because of my massive autism for games where you manually interact with machinery.
Only got 2 server minigames other than math and both were dogshit, the wires one would have been fine if you didn't need to manually rotate every single piece one by one and the falling bits one could be made far better by simple allowing you to instantly "slam" the bits by pressing space, math remains the best.
In my 0.8 play i would always carry a camera and photograph everything interesting i found so the video camera seems cool, but i wish it could do photos and i couldn't view the video on the base pc for some reason
haven't had to deal with transformers and coord tower so can't speak about them
i tried the new floopy system on my closest server and it only failed twice but i immagine it can take very long while if the rng dosen't like you, and it's not you can't do much in the server room while waiting unlike when catching signals at base.
Infinite weight drone is neat,but i don't like the shitty plastic bags and i'm not sure if i like it hanging out forever
Thanks for reading my blogpost

>>724810923
Disregard the restricted zone completely. The pumpkin should be at the end of the river next to it. On the small path that connects one side to the other.

So how do you make concrete for the wall fixer?

>>724818490
-Buy cement bag (40 points)
-Fill bucket with water
-Hold cement bag and use the bucket of water
-Will create about 20 or so units of concrete that you can then slather on the wall fixer

>>724818745
Thanks

>>724818058
Took me forever to figure out how to put the damn drive boxes in there.

What did you guys think about the 7 spooky days OG signal Sim stream? I've never seen Joel so fucked up in a long time even when he's playing Voices of the Void

Why are the tape containers so heavy you can't carry the whole thing? Maybe when you have the tapes in them, but not empty.

>>724818745
>Will create about 20 or so units of concrete that you can then slather on the wall fixer
out of how many per crack? because it feels like it's about a third, if not half a bucket at times

>>724819060
https://youtu.be/_Dei7XMjZFE?t=1226

what settings can i turn on to make the game not run like shit
ill turn around or go round a corner and it lags for a second due to the sheer amount of trash they added to the base

>>724819240
Thus far I've felt it takes like 4 units of bucket concrete to fix a crack, so getting 5 cracks fixed with 1 bucket-worth or so.
Not exactly efficient or cheap, but I am happy to see places not look like they are falling apart at least.

What's the point of having both floppy discs and zip drives?

>>724819652
yeah you should just be able to send the floppy disk the hashcodes were already enough of a pain in the ass

Can you still decorate to make the signal room a comfy home? I loved seeing the old screens where people had filled it with shit, including custom 3D prints

>>724819240
Just did some wall fixing: the cement bag comes with 50 units, it uses 5% of water in the bucket to turn 1 unit of cement into 1 concrete, so a 100% full bucket is 20 units, and if you used a full bag of 50 units on a 80% full bucket you get 18 concrete and your bag keeps 32 cement. Each wall crack uses up 4 units.

>>724819652
floppy disks only have like 32 read/writes in them, aka you put 3 hashes in and out thats 6 used up, a zip drive has a thousand something so it can be used for much longer

>>724819652
>>724819767
floppies are kind of shit and break easily, I assume the zip drive is more durable
Wikiped tells me zips are more like smol HDDs

NOSE YOU BITCH! Omega got deleted from my game. Literally disappeared as the power went out right in front of me.

>>724820435
You had a 13 second black out and missed the abduction, working as intended

>>724820162
irl, the main benefit of ZIP disks is capacity. HDDs, Zip Disks, and Floppies are all fundamentally the same technology, the only difference is enclosure and capcity.

>>724819652
What, you expect to just send the hash files in a email? Stop talking crazy.

Did Nose add fog to the game yet?

>>724819872
That hasn't changed. There's just more garbage you have to remove first lol.

>>724821113
Maybe, but floppy discs are made up of plastics and plastics, but HDDs and assumable Zips are made up of metals, at least the read/write part of it

>>724821317
I swore it was in .8 already as random chance but there are now options per save file to have either permanent rain, permanent fog, or both.

>>724818107
the fire exits are supposed to work but nose didnt finish their functionality (have to figure out a way to lock them for the garage prank event) in time for halloween so they're just stuck for the time being
should be functional next patch though

>>724813786
>>724815243
Don't sell metal, electronic and plastic scrap.
You will need them.

>Get the typical blackout event

Don't take pics of it.

recent concept work i did for the game

>>724822521
is nose cool with you posting this stuff here?

How do i view the videos taken with the video camera? they don't play on the computer at all they just stay paused

>>724819330
>Check out her twitter
>Has a nice rack
Not bad. Might watch more of her vids since she actually knows the game.

>>724820554
So, do I get him back?

>>724822521
I actually wanted to ask >>724822651 that too
careful loops, people will flip if they find out you post on le heckkin evil mongolian basket weaving website

>>724822874
lol
lamo
I was just shit posting
check for him on the radar, check if his camera is on on the PC, you might be able to use target command to find him too

>>724822651
i got the green light to share this batch around, its nothing too crazy spoilery just some environmental work thats subject to change when implemented.

>>724822909
im very certain nose is aware of my presence on this site.

>>724767193 (OP)
those colors are a reference to atari

Have the arials been disabled in this update? Haven't seen one in the picnic or treehouse, also tried microwaving a plush but the thing didn't even scream.

>>724823084
Using colored lines to show paths to different areas is used more generally too
I'm basing this off of VTMB

>>724823017
Didn't nose first find you because of these threads? I'd be very surprised if he doesn't except you to pop up here.

>>724823207
>>724823084
Generally it happens in places that expects lots of single time visitors
Please follow the Red line to reach the X-ray department

>>724823305
yeah more or less, the stuff i draw would get reposted to the server.

any cheat to just get Omega? Im tired as fuck making this shit from scratch. I had to delete all my data as well as the time was bugged and going way faster than it should and the setting did nothing. Its fixed now.

>>724823619
You can always duplicate your save, put loads of shit into the mail box to transfer to your main save and sell it
You can even convert points to money to send to yourself

>>724823568
Tell nose to make it so if you face plant into a door enough times it leaves an imprint of Kel's face.

I gotta put money in my fucking bank to buy stuff from the snack machine. Come on man.

>>724823786
Exactly what I did. Like hell I'm starting over without Kerfus.

>>724823014
Ughhhhhhhh. I no shit, was about to send him out to repair the generator, like the second they went out he was in front of me, but because of the stupid new controls, I held it to long and shut him off just as he disappeared. Gotta make a goddamn grave he's gone.

>>724822521
love the pyre, maybe a bit too overt for votv on the regular but still pretty fucking metal. would be great as a nighttime thing

>ax!
what did john fisherman mean by this?

>>724824000
leave a couple teeth in the metal too

>>724824220
that sounds like a pretty serious bug that should be directed at someone who could get it reported to Dr. Nose, like loops
>>724822521
>>724823568

>>724824446
Well he's apparently in the thread, so if they could kindly tell him, I apologize for calling him a bitch, but this situation was bitch given the time sink.

>>724824703
>>724824446
So like, this MIGHT be an event so id give it sometime, keep an eye on the cameras in case you can access your kerfurs cam at some point, but ill still ask around to see if this is a problem.

>>724823568
Zex a cute

>>724825012
Thanks friend, also if he sees this, serious about the sorry, I forget real people are on here sometimes.

>>724823568
is that Zex 3d printed or a new collectable?

..I need someone to do me a favor.

Next time you get the red signal, the one that kills you, send it in as your daily task signal instead. I want to test of an interaction is still in the game.

Back in version 1 of the base, I unknowingly sent it in. And never caught on the threat was real cause that counts as getting rid of it. But a while later I got an email saying one of the doctors got killed under mysterious circumstances. Then my emails started coming from a different doctor. I never connected these events till I saw a streamer get killed by the red signal. Then realized I killed the doctor by mistake.

>>724825672
new collectable, no natural way to get it at the moment it seems.

>>724824320
yeah that was the consensus about the burned bodies, a neat possible rare event.

>>724825089
thanks

>>724825564
ill let you know if i get anything bacl

>>724825975
Sending in the red signal is supposed to give you a game over now.

>>724826062
That fucking sucks.

Accidentally killing the doctor was amazing.

So I got omega but when I send it to get reports (I hold the floppy disk like the piece of paper before) it just throws it at me, goes to the satellites then comes back empty handed. I assume that's a bug.

there better be some cool new alien shit to make up for all this tedium they added

>>724826690
There aren't

>>724823786
>>724824112
can I use sandbox mode, cheat, then send shit?

>>724818375
Ive found that one, but I thought it was an old location and there used to be one in the ritual house where the village is now.
Do you have a list of all thirteen for this year?

>>724826690
Not yet

>>724813076
Kewl, would probably share my vids of Monster Musume and Chainsaw man edits

>>724827097
https://questwalker.github.io/votv-map/
The locations are the same so the map works pretty well. The only different one being where the village is now. This one got moved where i mentioned.

>>724825564
any updates? i was told its most likely an event and to keep an eye on the windows

>>724825987
I presume the procurement method would be fishing related.

>>724828627
Ah, I see, he warped to my patio that I blockaded with garbage on both sides.

>>724828894
really weird, glad you got em back

>>724828753
thats what was discussed ye

im not too keen on horror games
but people seem to vouch for this
what should i expect

>>724768809
>>724768951
>>724769061
Does it need to be a certain format? I kinda wanna get the entire first season of xfiles but if I gotta reformat everything, it will be annoying.

I think what the game is lacking is an cute alien or forest entity that is smaller and weaker than you that you can make live at your base and do simple chores and bully whenever you get beat up or scared by the big strong aliens and forest entities.

>>724829262
Something cute and maybe and maybe a little funny you know?

>>724829003
Maybe a secret bait you have to find to catch her. Or microwaving a certain fish for a certain amount of time.

how do i turn off the atv it just sits there and drains the battery

>>724829262
Bro that's just Kerfus

>>724829102
Just MP4, I have my girls bravo edits to be at a 720p resolution so the files aren’t that big to bloat my storage

What did I do wrong

>>724806818
Its bad. Has 5 uses wet. Need soap to clean better but its overall fucking awful now. Legit thinking about downloading a earlier version of this game.

>>724830990
You made her angry.

>>724807342
One of the only redeeming parts of the update.

>>724830990
She’s a mean girl, You gotta get her in a good mood to ride her

What recipe is this for?

is it worth playing the game now or will it be a better experience with future updates? i wouldn't mind waiting until next halloween to play.

No Steam
No Buy

>>724831510
It's free dawg

>>724831534
oh ok
No Steam
No Play.

>>724831437
It'll keep being updated of course but I don't think you're losing anything playing now, there's already a decent amount of content. Only really needs more signals frankly

>>724831573
It's not some install bullshit, you just download and play.

Doesn't the dev doesn't want to put it on Steam because he's a control freak and doesn't want to deal with negative reviews?

>>724832078
no he doesn't want to put it on steam because it's unfinished retard
when 1.0 comes he'll put it on steam

>>724832252
If the game was on Steam the community could push his shit in with reviews, if you complain the way he doesn't like you get b& off the discord

>>724828753
>fishing
is the rod box dig point fucked up at the moment?
I walked around the zone for like half an hour with the detector and couldnt get the light above green

>>724777402
is that tomato?

>>724830476
Also is it strange I find a lot of joy making these edits? Like I love the game a lot but the edits are the cherry on top, like when an event happens as a commercial for a new Taco Bell item comes on helps the atmosphere a lot for me

>>724830476

It's more a jobby simulator with spooky shit rather than a straight horror game. Has as much goofy shit as spooky shit.
One minute some demon runs by your front window, the next you're playing hentai on the TV while tuning for signals, followed by dreaming of hamburgers, and the next morning you're repairing satellites while wondering why your pack of shrimp is floating in midair.
Don't expect anything, really.

>>724834083
tinfoil hat. you need more aluminum surrounding your brain, so your thoughts don't get lost

>>724832328
Probably because the discord isn't a review site and he doesn't feel like dealing with whiners.

>>724834021
I just got a Disc Drive for what I have (Girls Bravo) and port the files into a one file before running a video editing software where I make them into a Raw uncut version that’s around 20 Gigs for a Ten hour video that’s 720P

>>724834475
For movies, I just do 720P also as I’m using the small little box TV so the resolution doesn’t matter much

>>724835070
The stream tends to shit itself when you use more than 720p anyway.

>>724835831
Okay good, I never went above that since I started playing two week ago

Why the fuck does this explode when I try putting it in?

>>724836858
Nvm, you have to shut the power off first.

>>724836858
It's typically not a good idea to install hardware while it's running.

>>724837407
Most industrial hardware is made in such a way that you can do that, actually.

>>724837974
yeah you have fun trusting the planned obsolescence to not blow up in your face

>>724837998
Industrial hardware is not typically designed with planned obsolescence in mind, which is why it's so fucking expensive.

Pretty sure Wolfgang glitched into the wall of my based. I'm getting the "glitched" pause menu and I can hear shit coming from the wall in the lobby and vaguely see parts of him clipping through the wall periodically. I fucking Wolfgang now. This fucking update has me talking about centipedes in the wall like some kind of fucking psychotic schizo.
also the prices on fuses really need to be lowered because fucking 100 per fuse is just total bullshit

>>724767193 (OP)
How long is it between updates? I was thinking about getting back into the game (I only got as far as the treehouse showing up and was really pissed you couldn't extinguish the campfire and tell whoever's camping there to fuck off), but if they made cleaning as ass as you guys say it is I won't bother.
>>724829094
It's less scary and more unnerving in a very unique way few games really pull off, but goofy stuff kind of seeps in after a while so you stop getting scared. Also its still a job sim at the end of the day.

>>724839491
months typically, with early access to patreondiscordniggers

>>724839596
will check back in a few months. I miss the regular threads

can we repaint or recolor the atv? I don't care if it's expensive, I just think the default looks like shit compared to the old one

>>724776634
reminds me of something an anon said last week, that the development is becoming too insider focused, everything being added to signal play is tuned for the long term players who already have perfect knowledge of the game by now, without regards to new players who want to get into the game without a wiki or discord

>>724839491
game's genuinely scary now if only because of what I'm guessing is a fuck up on Nose's end. Wolfgang now shows up in your base as part of a random event and he's fucking hostile during it. I'm pretty sure he fucked up the frequency of how often it happens because the gargantuan nob gobbler showed up for me on the first damn day and multiple other people have experienced the same thing

How does the mailbox work? I put stuff in but it comes up like this and everything says ERROR

>>724840875
I think even Joel is starting to see that, hell he opted to play ye olde signal simulator instead recently

>All these screenshots
>Can see its lost its source engine styles

>>724840913
I don't even know who or what Wolfgang is.

What are some games like this without the spook factor? I just want to play something comfy.

>>724844736
their isnt. There is this and signal simulator(which inspired VotV directly)

>>724844736
something loosely similar imo would be Abiotic Factor, just use the mod that turns off the jumpscare monster that appears every 15 minutes, if you solo-play that game.
Doesn't have the work-simulator aspect, but you have a whole mega-facility to explore and make cozy bases in.

>>724844729
A big fucking centipede because Dr. Nose is a fucking cunt who just couldn't resist putting one of the most vile, hideous, and pure fucking evil bugs in existence and then making it the size of a train in his god damn train

>>724846340
Not as of the unstable build. Not sure if he's still friendly if you lure him out of the cave with a pumpkin but during the random event where he shows up at your base he outright tries to attack you
Kind of a shit addition to be honest. I preferred when he was basically an easter egg/rare event when he wasn't really a threat but still down right fucking creepy rather than an outright hostile entity

>>724845268
centipedes aren't that bad

just don't get bit bro

>>724847234
Easier said than done. They're vicious motherfuckers. They don't just bite and let go like most insects. They'll dig their sharp legs into you so they can bite again and again

>votv, a game literally invented to scare joel, can't compete with the level of terror a grey walking past a window invokes in him
It's obviously moved beyond him now, but still wish there were more "conventional" alien type scares in the game. Demons and ghosts don't scare me and the cats just make me want to jack off.

>>724848779
I wish we had Grey Aliens in Flying Saucers or an Event that Adds those Flying Rods

>>724848779
if i had to guess its because votv pussyfoots around too much.
>arirals are non-lethal if you dont intentionally piss them off, too friendly to be scary.
>the robots i forgot the name of are, also, completely non lethal. the only time they pose a risk is if you run away from the scanners and this is established with the ATV "washing" event
>yellow wisps dont last long enough anymore to be properly terrifying. and of course they're inactive during the day so there's no riskif you actually know the event
>grays never show themselves, and instead just shit out impotent boars. the tank is too far to be a piece of horror and more an annoying puzzle since its combat without proper weapons
>most "big" events trigger on specific days, so once you learn how shit works
the game takes too long to pull out actual threats, and when it finally does they're all impotent.
and of course the day specific events make the game way too learnable.

ATV battery died, is there a free one in the base? can you charge them? what do i need to know about it? also, speed on the ATV seems so much worse now

How do I even begin to play and understand this game?
Genuinely asking, I don't know where to start, is there a simple youtube tutorial?

>>724850280
the game has a tutorial in it

>>724850280
Did you try the mandatory tutorial?

>>724850280
>turn off point docking in the settings
>clean the base. there's a shovel in one of the transformers you can use to turn piles of garbage into regular trash. forgot which.
>place trash items on the workbench in the garage to make scrap
>sell most of your scrap (keep tech, metal, and plastic)
>buy a kerfus from the shop (repairs servers for you)
and from there you should be able to figure out most things yourself.

>>724850280
Play tutorial to figure out the controls.
Then go and watch the 0.9.0 tutorial youtube video by some femoid.

How do I get rid of the curtains, filing cabinets and desk? In fact, how do I break the pcs? Bonking doesnt seemt to work.

im going to throw out what i can think of for my ideal signal sim/votv knockoff just to see if anyone likes it
(1/2 - the base and the array)
>signal array you're sent to is in massive disrepair, the company that sent you doesnt even expect anything to be returned
>its just that someone should stay there to ward off looters, and its probably best to send someone who knows how to work the place even if broken
>base is just a run down bunker like 6.0's base
>prop physics system like votv so you can decorate the base.
>most rooms are a bit large to give you space for decor
>decent focus on bringing the base from "its a ruined dump" to "yeah i'd live here"

>instead of constant maintenance, greater focus on simply getting things back online
>most of the satellite array starts broken, and the few dishes still operational are on their last legs so you have almost no initial download speed
>getting your operational dishes dishes back to "functional usability" will let you download a signal over the course of a week. and sending your first signal in lets you buy materials from the company to get to work on serious repairs
>you can use the first download week to learn the lay of the land and figure out optimal routes
>in the early game, your profit will mostly come from cleaning the place up and sending back the material
>midgame, you'll get considerable bonuses for sending in array data and the occasional signal to show that the place is actually active and being repaired. but the bonuses are limited
>lategame, you can catch enough enough signals a day that money shouldnt be a problem, you're just working for the last few major upgrades

>as for maintenance, you wont have that much to do.
>the base and (once online) each radar (24 total) has a 4% chance to run into an issue that cant be automatically solved every day, and a 0.5% chance for a costly issue.
>with all radars online, on average you'll have one issue a day and one costly issue a week

(2/2 - the creature feature)
>the more you repair satellites the more alien and paranormal activity you have to deal with.

>paranormal - awoken by the array's increased electric. sometimes hostile, sometimes friendly.
>>'supernatural' - explicitly friendly branch of paranormal entities.
>>'ghostly' - explicitly neutral branch of paranormal entities.
>>'specters' - explicitly hostile branch of paranormal entities.
>demons - antagonistic, but not explicitly hostile. in most cases you HAVE to invoke them yourself.
>>'preferential' - likes what you're doing, for whatever reason. will grant occasional boons naturally, just dont get greedy and summon them like you would other demons.
>>'balanced' - grants boons in exchange for favors. the requests are reasonable for the rewards
>>'detrimental' - not to be dealt with, will almost always saddle you with extreme consequences for even the smallest of boons. but if you really want to push the array to its limits...
>>'hostile' - wants you dead
>aliens - the variety pack, of course
>>grays - the player cant determine if they're hostile, passive, or simply curious. generally amoral so the results of their experiments are rather disturbing. in truth they just like fucking around. maybe the player will be able to get a beneficial implant?
>>"xenomechs" - hostile, drawn to the location by excessive activity from the array
>>"dev's personal pet race" - fox people space police (not the furry kind, just ain't my thing). mostly antagonistic to the player because the array's activity is rather intrusive (against space law to try and gleam data from random space craft), but they arent trying to kill you since its mostly a lack of knowledge. more of a "the fuck are these primitive apes looking out there for?" after initial contact yes i would give them argem doll equivalents
>>"watchers" - passive, another group of machines. unknown motives. most of the time, they're just in the forest doing nothing

>>724853216
>awoken by the array's increased electric.
electric activity, oops. but i was out of characters anyways.

>>724853168

oh yeah and most importantly: not made in fucking unreal so that you can have the lights on and not kill your GPU

Is the third one used at any point in-game or planned to be? Because if so, full-moon blank white circle eyes would be better to contrast his usual crescent moons than just giving him bedroom eyes.

>>724853216
What if the space cops are coming over to investigate the array site because you are accidentally sending demons into space?

i can understand aliens, but why tf some supernatural spooks are there?
are they conected to the ayylmaos somehow?

>>724853216
This honestly sounds a lot better thought out than what VotV is right now. The balance of the game has gotten really bad over time.

>>724854878
tl;dr the signal array is a hotspot for literally fucking everything.
its a good idea but naturally nose fucked it at some point and it doesnt hit like it should.

>>724841469
if you're importing from older versions, there's an fix/import button in the options somewhere.

I feel like the the mornings stay dark for a long time. I feel like it should be brighter with the sun at that position

>>724853216
>space cops trying to shut down your array because you're basically data scraping
imagine getting an error on a dish and going out and finding it's been clamped and you've been given a ticket (please appeal at nearest SpaceGov institution)

>>724855282
i actually had an idea that their intro event would be shooting down several jammers that have to be disabled to restore functionality to nearby dishes.
if you take the time to properly deconstruct them rather than just bashing them apart like an ape, you can turn the scrap into a few extra upgrades for some of the dishes.

Is it true that they want to twinkify the protag?

>>724856151
They already did, you just don't often see the model

>>724856281

>>724854902
yeah the big problem with "maintenance" gameplay like votv uses is that you can only add so much before it becomes outright unfun, all you're doing is running on a treadmill to keep things going, and eventually you wont be able to get off of it.
but "repair" style gameplay lets you keep adding more, and the player can always go at their own pace.

normally you're supposed to get a safe version of it first thats just spooky.
guess you got unlucky.

>>724793393
Again: Daylength setting does not adjust your hunger and sleep rates, and so its fucked.
Youre getting hungrier and tired faster with 50% speed. And sleeping refills your meter TOO fast because the world is moving at x# speed THEN x0.5 while your meter fills at x# speed as normal.

So what happens is you need to eat more often because your day is actually 1.5 days, and your sleep schedule is totally fucked because your meter drains at double speed comparatively.
Youe sleepy by 4, suffering depirvation until night time, and then when you sleep you get back up to full meter by like 3AM, which ducks you cause you cant go back to sleep without item aids, and then youre sleepy even EARLIER cause youve been up since 3AM...

Its not comfy. Its fucked.

The biggest problem this game has always had and forever will have is that a solid 95% of the game's content does not need to be interacted with and the game does nothing to push you to interact with it
The vast, vast majority of people who play this game and don't watch a 40 minute long "game explained" video or a twitch stream or no life the discord server won't even have a clue how much content is in this game they'll never, ever see
So much cryptic bullshit that the game expects you to just know or to look up but the catch 22 is that the more you look up about this game the less fun your playthrough will be because playing this game as blind as possible is the only way to preserve the atmosphere and spooks

I'm convinced they're the rarest thing in the game.
I've found the notes about them, and me and a friend have played extensively and neither of us has ever seen one.
Hell we saw the rare Insomnia Demon that teleports you to the white void and crashes you and that fucker is apparently a 0.01% chance to REPLACE the normal Insomnia demon

thats fine, to an extent. the problem is
>and the game does nothing to push you to interact with it
this, when the game has zero hints on any of it. this >>724863254 is actually a perfect example.
the fossilhound is so rare that unless you're explicitly chasing every radar ping you'll probably never see it. (and you'll probably never see it if you do)
all the argems except for the base 3, the cult of the lamb rune hunt, quite a few hidden events, i'd even argue that omega kerf is in the realm of "never ever for a normal player"
i mean fuck, the ariral picnic. i've missed that every single time. even before i knew to buy a kerfus.

>>724851592
>disappearing burgers
Check your hunger (the orange number on your hud). If your hunger is really low you start hallucinating food on the ground.

>>724864036
I think the picnic is a little better signposted now since the two satellites almost directly on either side of it are set to go down when it spawns.
Omega kerfur too at least has the hint/recipe book sitting just inside the alpha bunker, so as long as they can make their way in they'll at least get a hint about it (before getting filtered by the metal detector or needing to buy the fucking diving gear)

first day of work on what's meant to be a bugfix/balance patch and he's already off doing this kinda shit

>>724864483
he said before he wanted to release 0.9 early by cutting some content which would be added in 0.9.1

>>724864036
I think I found the picnic in my first playthrough. I rammed through it with my ATV and only turned around because I heard footsteps running away and there was a heater thing in the grass

>>724864036
>>724864196
I think KerfurO is just barely possible to find completely blind but only for an extremely curious player willing to go on an obscene wild goose chase for maybe no payoff
Getting into the Alpha hideout is already a decent barrier, a lot of people could just easily miss the keycard when looking in there and how many who even do see it are going to think of the hook?
Then you have the hints to the locations themselves and I do think most of them can be deduced intuitively with the exception of
>no distinction between ball and limb joints in the text so right now it just reads like a contradiction
>"near romeo" is very vague
I think most people would assume near to mean around the base of the satellite not in a weird gravel mound down the hill
>"our office" for the radioactive capsule
Could be intuited to mean one of the transformers considering the limb joints were found in two of them and there's no other building on the map that could be considered an office but there are multiple sections of the map signposted with radiation symbols and I would expect a lot of people to waste their time walking around these areas with a geiger counter they paid out the ass for the blueprints for

>>724767193 (OP)
Sometimes less is more.

>>724864884
Fair enough on the rad capsule, even knowing the rough location the things a fucking bitch to track down. The current book does differentiate between the two joint types though, but I do agree that a player who isn't very curious is going to follow through on the chase for something that has no stated ingame benefit prior to making it

oi, mornin' crew,
>>724853168
>>724853216

>>724865180
>The current book does differentiate between the two joint types though,
It does for the crafting recipes themselves but not for the hints to the locations. They're both just referred to as "the joints" so it reads pretty clunky if you don't put 2 and 2 together and realise one hint is referring to one joint type and one hint to another
For an already extremely cryptic and vague treasure hunt it'd help if it was written as explicitly as possible

>>724848779
Less is more, votv has so much stuff you you get desensitied about it by the time the real scary thing happens. Signal simulator is a lot of dull work so when something happens feel scarier.

>>724865647
its sad because 6.0 had that feeling exactly, you'd only get an event every few days which let you settle back into a routine, now they're nearly constant.
and i know a few people told nose this but naturally he ignored it in favor of the retards that dont know what they want.

>>724864884
Honestly I'm fine with Kerfus-O being a huge bitch to build, mainly because of how much it's capable of. Not only can it fix servers, it can collect satellite hashes, and fix transformers. It basically automates almost all the shit relevant to your job short of downloading and processing signals. Something like that should be a massive undertaking to build. Also you never have to worry about it negotiating difficult terrain like the standard kerfus.

>black cube that is a render bug
>i get close to it and it starts running away like a little animal
>decide to bonk it
>game crashes

>>724864036
The game actually does a lot to try and nudge you toward stuff as it happens. Meta Paranoia as a whole is a system designed to ensure you're aware of and unable to miss out on an on-going event or nearby entity. Entities can be seen through the radar (and should be seeked out if you actually want to see things in the game) and locational events have tells (Ariral campfire smoke) and hard nudges (transformers and servers being rigged to fail and doors being locked to lure you out to where something is happening).
I do agree that some shit is just too obscure or difficult to achieve though. The current Omega recipe is a horrible overcorrection (especially now that Nose has added new outside maintenance that Omega cannot do and events that completely disable Omega thus eliminating the major problem of players relying on Omega to do all the outside work for them) and while I understand and value having crazy secret shit in a game I think there's too much of that kind of stuff going on with zero indication of its existence. There's no reason for someone to put skulls in the shower other than being told by external sources that shit will happen if they do.

>>724866303
What did you expect to happen?

>>724866132
There's a difference between being a bitch to craft and being one of 2000 additions to the game you can't reasonably expect a player to ever find. It's just another piece of content to add to the pile of "cool shit you need to be told exists"
KerfurO should be hard to craft because of how powerful it is but the way it's currently implemented is emblematic of the game's larger design problem of 95% of content being on the level of schoolyard rumour tier fetch quests and arbitrary, unintuitive actions you'd never reasonably undertake without prior knowledge
It's a game that simultaneously wants you to know nothing but almost begs you to look up outside information which kind of defeats the whole "immersive" part of the immersive sim

>>724767193 (OP)
I honestly wouldn't of given VotV the time of day if it had all the bullshit it has now, I remember our base looking like a surface level bunker with simple mechanics, the new bunker was fun and the mechanics remained pretty simple until now.

>>724854902
>This honestly sounds a lot better thought out than what VotV is right now.
You say that about every half-assed idea some anon shits out in these threads.

>>724866132
the problem is,
>Also you never have to worry about it negotiating difficult terrain like the standard kerfus.
this little bit right here is such a major quality of life upgrade that it makes the kerfo upgrade practically mandatory.
if you ask me,
>base kerfo is the old recipe, all this one can do is repair servers and not get stuck on every piece of map geometry. it still needs to be plugged in, annoyingly.
upgrading movement at the cost of an extra kerfus is completely fair.
>additional functionality comes as upgrades
>omega core = once installed, enables further upgrades. but each upgrade increases the chance of an event happening to kerfo
>radiation capsule + metal scrap = power core. removes the charging plug and power percentage.
>"reinforced limbs" (ball joint fetch quest) + metal scrap = can hold items
>drive storage + electrical scrap = floppy uplink. can receive hashes, but you need to install a floppy into kerfo to actually retrieve them.
>rubber scrap + GPU = logical processor. can repair transformers and load hashes into the computer., bonus to server repair speed as an extra.
>>724867253
to be fair, every random half-assed idea IS more thought out than what nose is doing to the game

>>724864483
Not the first time he's done this shit.
Happened with 0.8, and 0.7. Were you expecting this time to be any different? He'll eventually get bored and take a big fat break to work on 0.9.1, two thirds of 0.9.0's issues left unresolved

>>724864573
Hate this retarded argument. 0.9 was first supposed to come by the end of August, then he decided he'd rather delay it to October for halloween. And hey, no issue there! Planning two months ahead is good.
Except instead of tying loose ends, enacting a feature freeze the next couple months and working on halloween mode and the occasional bugfix while paytrons do their job testing things out, Nose's just been messing around adding more "stuff [new]".

This was a self imposed release date, set months in advance.
Treating it like someone's been pressuring him to release in a week regardless of how polished the update may be, is just plain silly.

>>724856151
wasn't he already a twink in the concept art

>>724867314
KerfO still has the occasional issue with terrain, moreso now with how the satellites can clip into the walkways and with his new aversion to water, there's at least one route that's impossible for KerfO to do because it gets stuck on the riverside

>>724866925
its kinda funny, a month ago VOTV was on my "recommend to others" list but now its been taken off.
i just hope nose realizes what he's doing and fixes it all before its too late.
or that we get a knockoff.

>>724867880
I think literally every iteration of Kel on Nose's end has either been the silly placeholder guy or the twink.
If anything he's gotten less twinkish in recent models compared to the white sweater one that was used in the diploma pic

>>724866109
Having a lot of stuff is fine, making a big deal of it and dragging the player to see them is the problem.

The game loop used to be simple, which is good.

>>724867990
Was Otakel ever actually real? Like, in the game, and not as a mod? Did you fuckers trick me?

>>724868441
You could see him while climbing a ladder.

>>724868441
otakel became a meme because concept kel looks like otacon if you squint your eyes

>>724867968
I hope so. There are flaws, but people love to (as with many games now) write criticism off as "being a hater".
One thing I dislike is how you HOLD E to open containers, but pressing drags it. Why?
Every other game would do the opposite. It's not even consistent.

>press e to use/interact with everything
>except containers where you hold e instead

>>724869178
NTA but if we're talking about controls then the most glaring issues is an inventory.
It's such a convoluted system compared to any other game. Yes, it's not that hard and you get used to it, but it's still needlesly inconvenient.

>>724869417
I think you are just terminally addicted to whining aboit everything.

>>724867314
Be neat if he made it so if instead hunting the different parts and combining them all to straight up make Kerfur Omega, upgrading it was a gradual thing
>Find legs (instead of having to hunt down every fucking little piece and then crafting them
>add them on to make Kerfur+ which is a standard Kerfur but with legs that can negotiate difficult terrain but can still only repair servers
>find and add Kerfur arms to make Kerfur++, now able to fix transformers as well
>add on radioactive capsule to make Mega Kerfur, which never runs out of batteries
>buy and install (or find) a module which allows it to collect hash data
>disassemble another kerfur to get parts to turn Mega Kurfur into Omega Kerfur AKA your waifu

rich coming from someone with an addiction to argue with strawmen

>>724871187
If nose actually added this I'd only do the legs and AI module

I wish someone would spoonfeed me a clean base. I can't be arsed anymore.

>>724871557
>t.

>>724871674
base cleaning is the only fun thing to do though

>>724871780
It was okay 3 4 versions ago, but now? I've never gone to India, but it feels like I'm living there.

>>724863254
Ive still yet to see one

My in game mouse isn't working anymore. Not my irl one, I mean the one that's connected to the in game p.c. the cords not connected anymore.

Make sure to use UE 5 with every single meme tech it has. Bonus points if the visuals are half-life inspired.

>>724871935
The trash piles are surprisingly easy to clean because you just spam E and R until your inventory is full and then you dump it all into the drone (or onto the crafting table if you wanna make scrap).

>>724858060
... Stolas..., and the base is run by cultists... Well, at least he's a fan of the better of the two shows.

Arirals moved to the treehouse location in my savegame, but they arent building a treehouse. Did I broke it

>>724874157
several people have reported the tree not being built, probably a bug

Somehow accidentally'd my way under the base and ended up falling into the meat locker. Might as well share for the anon that kept going on about a door being there.
Dead guy is still there, and there's a new room, empty save for a heart

>>724767193 (OP)
The 0.8 version should had been built up on that instead of these unnecessarily overcomplicated new mechanics features and unnecessary control changes.

I'm gonna hold off until a more polished version of 0.9 comes out

Can someone give a qrd about the recent patch and why do so many people seem to dislike it?

arirals owe me sex (vaginal ((me) receiving))

>>724876251
added new gameplay
things are broken

>>724876251
tl;dr: nose made a bunch of systems way more time consuming when the time economy is already fucked.

PSA: don't press Alt

>>724876251
People now have to PLAY THE GAME instead of just having Kerfur do everything while they chillmax in a spoopy sandbox with farming and base building while they watch le epic memes on the tv

>>724876354
I still don't know what he was thinking with the new coordinate towers
A basic kerfus can take care of bad servers while you do other things, and you can check at any terminal to see how close the transformers are to failure and either plan to reset it beforehand or prep for the outage and send KerfO if you're retarded.
Theres zero way to play around the coordinate towers aside from dumping points into them to have a buffer for complete failure, and even that still requires you to physically go to each tower to pop the fuses in

I have never seen another game get driven into the dirt so badly by the dev. This used to be the best slow burn horror now its the most reddit shit ever. Making the MC a faggot twink was the worst by far.

>>724876825
Why in the blue fuck would you ever use a button as common to use as ALT as a debug button?
Why not a combo? Why not a button far away? Glad I didn't dive right into this update in favour of waiting.

>>724876825
reminds me of the email debug thing that would brick your save that got left enabled in one of the test versions

>>724780718
there's no game in votv. it's a gamedev's sandbox that somehow has people playing it because of discord

>>724877496
If you didn't notice, all the controls got changed to not use alt

Is anything present if you noclip into the bunker past the locked doors yet?

>>724878898
If you didn't notice, there's still alt+numbers on locks
Most damning of all, there's alt+1, alt+2 and alt+3 when operating the new coordinates panel

>>724879001
Bunker wasn't touched at all. There's new underground shit around the base though.
