make this downloadable plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
trying to play the game on chrome, cleared my cookies, but the screen is just black. i get sound holding W or S but that's about it.
same here
same on edge, i would presume its the entirety of chromium
why is it just a black screen
me too
Same, tested on desktop Firefox and Chrome, all I get is a white + cursor. At least there's a free demo on Steam too.
how long does it take to load
There should be a block called the burner, that just creates fire.
I've been having some issues when rendering a lot of pixels at once (think large storage spot), but not a lot of the pixels are moving. Maybe, if a pixel and the neighbors haven't moved in ~100 ticks, the pixel could "freeze", and not be checked for movement, until at least 1 pixel within the check area has moved, but the area it blocked by walls. See the ASCII art below for an example. M is moving, || is a wall, and F is frozen.
Ex 1
M || F F F F
M || F F F F
M || F F F F
M || F F F F
Ex 2
M F F
M F F
M F F
M F F
Ex 2 next tick
M M M
M M M
M M M
M M M
I am using a computer with 8 GB of ram though.
**Edit**
I checked, and it's my CPU, not my ram that's being fully used. Does anybody else get this lag?
Please make on mobile
I just found the source of the Bug! I was using The Hauler Drone to move Gold from Collector Bins To a Main Collection Bin, But the Drones don't tell the $ Counter to Decrease when they take Gold From Collectors!
I Have a Bug Report!
I had just over $4,000, I then went to the Research Menu to unlock Refining 4, but as soon as the menu opened, My $ count went from 4,000 to 3,300.
Please fix?
PS I LOVE this game!
please release the full game
Early access released a few days ago on steam
There are teleporters and more :)
even better - its available at GOG - bought it right after relase ;-)
Awesome game! I played for hours!
btw I can spell good
btw if you play on a Google chrome steem will not let you play on the rilleest v
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I found that If you skip the tutorial before getting the $$ for shaker you get locked out of being able to use the mouse to sort the sand.
Hm... I get 'Error: Unknown color in blueprint (case #1): 254, 255, 254'
It did function like an hour ago on a different pc.
I lost my progress :((( very good game
Is this game being developed?
maybe
theres a demo on steam [what baz firstman told me]
Yes, it's being developed, although my understanding is that the devloper (Lantto) has finished working on the demo mostly, and is focusing on the whole game.
I lost my progress, can someone give me their save game :/
Yeah here's my save (:
limewire.com/d/3Hb4a#ANZi4ODxKU
use that (:
the link expires in a week tho :/
wow that game is so fun and im blown away
my game doesn't want to load in anymore
i play on the browser and now it just does load but keeps for a very long time or indefenetly but it never stoped loading at the setting up stuff and i cant play it because of that
but i still think it is a good game
it now works after i deleted all cookies from my browser and because of that i lost my save
now i cant save and the other save for this world is also gone so i cant quit the game
i havent played in like 4 months and now my saved game is gone
Apparently you can get stuck here
Oh there's a unstuck button? Nice
how did you get stuck?
This spot disables the jetpack and you're supposed to drop the snow to freeze the water.
i just used the ice gun to pass so i did not understand because it was all frosen in a straight line so i could not get stuck but i understand better now thanks
i want a version that can be installed on windows [maybe also mac
the demo is also on steam
is it free?
yes
Bro stole from sandusty on steam (demo version)
it is the same person
i think your a alt
i am not i just checked on steam and they seem to be the same person
you know that it might not be real
maybe but i dont care
rlly? i dont use steam bc laptop reasons
same
can you add keybind customization for dig? Really cool game!
Kinetic slag presses keep on getting stuck, I think you should make gold and spores come out of the press at full speed so that they won't clog, and it probably wouldn't be too hard either. I know you can use launchers to stop it from clogging, but it is sort of annoying tbh. And can water please be heavier than slag, gold, redsand, and voidbloom? That would be so nice.
The problem with this is that gold sand and slag are both heavier than water, while slag might be the only one that isn't, and voidbloom should be lighter than water though
It's more of a mechanical issue rather than a realism issue. There's literally no way to drain water cleanly if it falls into one of those resources besides covering the area with water pumps. And water can also cause blockages when you use a filter or launcher.
Allowing water to be heavier would allow you to drain it out from the bottom.
ive seen this from dangerouslyfunny and I thought "hmm looks like fun" BRO IT IS AWeSOME!!!!!!!111!!1!!
Hey! I didn't delete anything. That's strange!
Good job and thank you for the kind words! ❤️
do you know when the next update is cause i cant wait for the next update and even more for the full release
I'm 100% focusing on the full game right now so the demo will probably not have any separate updates until then. Thanks for playing!
follow me to be friends! ;)
thanks
Hello there! I’ve really been enjoying the game—it has tremendous potential. However, one thing that’s been bothering me is how slow the conveyor belts are; they feel absurdly sluggish. Do you have plans to introduce an upgrade that speeds them up? save from brazil im playing from steam.
Obrigado! Yeah, belt upgrades will come. :)
It's cool how this game is still just in development and so many Youtubers play/played it. I think it has really great potential.
Thank you! ❤️
Absolutely Loved this game. 100%-ed the game in a couple days! I couldn't stop!
I'm wondering what is coming up in the future for this game and espescially what kind of time frame you've got for more updates.
All in all, a great game. And I love how you can design your own solutions to problems. Thanks Lantto!
Thank you for playing and for the kind words! ❤️ Check out the latest devlog on Steam for some more info: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2764460/view/525340642559132046?l=englis...
Very impressive game! Bugs I’ve met:
p.s. I’d like to help whenever u wanna develop the language package, sothat more people can enjoy this :D
Thank you! :)
I made a custom 3:4 cover for IGDB, from the in-game logo and screenshots, so thought I might as well make a 2:3 steam cover too, if you want to use;
Sorry for the late reply, but thank you so much! ❤️
That's cool!
can you make it downloadable please
negative money
