A small new update is available now!

  • Changelog 2015-05-25: Ores

    @Machine Medic: That's true, but we wanted to keep those processes as simple as possible (since it's just a game) ^^ Actually you can find native aluminium and cobalt in the world, but they are very rare. Tungsten hasn't been found yet (but that does not mean that native tungsten does not exist^^).
    Eventually we will change it in the future, depends on how much we will go into detail about those processes ;)

  • Changelog 2015-06-01: New workbench and several tweaks

    Here is another update! It introduces a new modern workbench. At the same time we moved some recipes to this new workbench. Expect more crafting stations (especially a "modern version" of the blockbench and sawbench) in the near future ;)


    We also added new items, e.g. a wooden torch holder, and many new basic resources (e.g. lightbulb for lamps).


    Apart from that, this update brings several tweaks: First of all, you can now move items to chests directly by a doubleclick on them. Of course this also works the other way around.
    Now you also find a "MIN" and "MAX" button in the crafting menu. When hitting the "MAX" button, the count is automatically set to the maximum (note: it only sets the amount that is still craftable, i.e. if you can craft 24 items, the count is only set to 24 then).


    Another change concerns the construction elements: We changed the minimum and maximum size of these items, allowing you to build with even higher precision. You can now also change the rotation precision (currently only via console command: 'setconstructionrotation [value]').


    Last but not least this update contains a lot of bugfixes. Among others the "falling through ground" bug should now occur less often.


    Have fun! :)

    • [Bugfix] Fixed some recipes (items required "ore" instead of stone)
    • [Bugfix] Fixed "inventory is full" issue when crafting placeable objects

  • Resizing - Reset to default?

    Unfortunately that's not possible at the moment, but we will add this feature in the near future :) Also the ability to save custom sizes to a clipboard sounds like a valuable addition, we will put it on our list!

  • Game Crashing after opening Error log included

    It seems that wrong audio libraries are used. Is Creative Labs OpenAL installed on your machine? You can check it when you go to your Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs and search for an entry "OpenAL" or "Creative Labs OpenAL". Please remove these entries, and restart your computer.

  • Game crash on load

    Quote from ToBoCom

    Its not that hard to check which gfx are installed on the client, then run a test which card live up to the game demands and change the setting so the game will run using this. Its the gfx test most game run when they start up the first time.


    That's not entirely true: The graphics card assignment is done by Windows and your graphics driver. If Windows (due to energy saving options) or your graphics driver thinks, that this application does not need full graphics performance, only your integrated graphics adapter is used (even though the game requests the primary graphics adapter). This issue concerns several games, if you have a look for this issue on Google, you find plenty of information about that.

  • Verbindungsfehler

    Danke für den neuen Log! :) Im Grunde läuft das aber leider auf die selbe Ursache hinaus :/ Ist es denn jetzt dauerhaft dieser "neue" Fehler? Seit wann tritt der "neue" Fehler auf?

  • Illegal state limit should I be worried.

    Illegal states occur when the server receives implausible messages from the client - it's not automatically cheating, but can also occur due to bugs. You can increase the limit without any problems, it's not less safe (since the implausible actions still won't be processed) ;)

  • Auf Erz gestanden -> "durchge-glitched"

    Tatsächlich wird es eher Zufall sein ^^ Die Erze werden vom Spiel genauso behandelt wie Erde oder Stein, und bilden auch geometrisch ein und dasselbe "Objekt" (bzw. den gleichen Mesh).
    Deine zweite Vermutung könnte aber schon eher zutreffen: Einerseits wird extra Zeit für die Erzberechnung gebraucht (wobei sich das absolut in Grenzen hält), andererseits kann auch die Framerate etwas niedriger sein (und dadurch auch andere Berechnungen verlangsamen), da der Shader komplexer geworden ist. Normalerweise sollte das aber nur ein Problem sein, wenn dein PC zuvor schon zu kämpfen hatte mit dem Spiel^^
    Das "komische Geruckel" könnte aber darauf hindeuten, dass irgendein Fehler aufgetreten ist, und die Kollision aufgrund dieses Fehlers gar nicht erst berechnet werden konnte. Wenn es nochmal auftreten sollte: Sag Bescheid ;)
    Du kannst übrigens F2 für den Flugmodus aktivieren, falls du nochmal durch den Boden fallen solltest.

  • [SCRIPT] World Edit

    Quote from TutMeistensNix

    Is this normal?


    That happens when something is built directly below the ground, so it's not related to this script ;) This can be disabled in the settings when your turn "Grass Masking" off (but then grass is also visible through objects etc, so that's not really a solution). We will fix this issue in the next time^^

  • Questions

    Quote from theenoid

    Plowed field: Now what? How do I add flowers, carrots, watermelon or pumpkins? I'm running out of food fast. Rarely find apples in the too tall grass.


    Currently you can only plant tomatoes and carrots. Just cut those plants with the sickle (instead of picking them up), that gives you saplings ;)


    Quote from theenoid

    Inventory Slots: Armor Slot? Equipment Slot? Why can't I put anything in them?


    You can only put "equipment" items into the equipment slots (i.e. clock, compass), then you're able to access them via hotkey (e.g. hold K to display the compass etc.). Since armor is not implemented yet, there is no use for the armor slot at the moment.


    Quote from theenoid

    Where is the water?


    Water is unfortunately not implemented yet.


    Quote from theenoid

    Weapon upgrades?


    Weapon upgrades are not available yet.


    Quote from theenoid

    Chests?


    You can find several types of chests at the sawbench ;)


    Quote from theenoid

    How do I find my LAN address to invite friends? Or can I?


    Your friends can only connect via your LAN address when they're in the same local network. Otherwise you have to use a program like Tunngle or Hamachi. Alternatively you can let your friends connect via internet, but that requires you to forward all necessary ports (by default 4254-4259 TCP and UDP). You can find out your IP on this homepage for example: https://www.whatismyip.com/


    Quote from theenoid

    However, I didn't know I was buying a game in Alpha stage. Just now noticed where it says it on your site. Macgamestore.com doesn't even say it's an unfinished game


    It's stated on our homepage and on Steam (it's an Early Access game). We were not aware of the description on Macgamestore.com, of course that's something that needs to be changed, thanks for letting us know! ;)

  • Crafted items lost and materials used!

    Quote from NoiD

    But if you craft items and your inventory is full. It will show you every indication that the item was created, material count goes down, etc.... Open your bag. They aren't there


    That's indeed a known problem, we will change that ;)


    Quote from NoiD

    And why hasn't there been chests added to game yet?


    There are several types of chests in the game, you can find them at the sawbench^^

  • Steam and Non-steam copy

    Sorry, that's unfortunately not planned. The standalone version is mainly meant for people who don't want to use Steam at all. Another aspect was, that we already sold the game over our homepage before Steam release, and we don't wanted to force all previous customers to use Steam now.
