So I just updated to the most current version, and for some reason my Dr. Kel poster turned into this, and after I hit use I couldn't cycle back to it.
I've turned my back on it several times, I even went back to base a few times with no change. I also tried stuffing my rifle in there (because the coordinates are 308 and 338) but nothing happened with that either. the ping is still there.
Okay I found it and tried that but there was nothing close by except a can about 50m away. I went back to base to sleep and the ping was gone after I woke up. This occurred throughout day 37 until the middle of day 38 if anyone has the same thing happen.
>Stuff rifle in to log >Comes out chambered in fucking 338 Lapua >Spooky shit immediately stops after you delete the top half of a mannequin on a whim to try it out
Bad news travels fast, but not faster 338
As is usually the case when it comes to humans. Truly disgusting creatures. The jokes are still funny though.There's a reason you haven't been assimilated yet.
Heres an old one. Still didnt get around to playing the newest version but for some reason I can't stop the urge to go in game and just print models and place pictures
Same, my current obsession is in modeling stuff to print. This game has been great inspiration to get better at Blender. My hope is to have a nice library of shit to print (and posters) built up/collected before 0.7 comes out.
I just wish I wasn't so wary of anything that claims to be able to download YouTube videos as MP4s, cuz the TV is one thing I don't have any stuff for.
Sometimes you find cool stuff that's already at a good scale, like this assortment of beer, but yeah, it would be cool to expand my options with Blender, even just scaling and converting other formats to .obj would open things up a lot. >anything that claims to be able to download YouTube videos as MP4s

This would be perfect, room to throw shit in, cant really do offroad so youre forced to get spooked in the forest by trees. Also add the entire building/maintenance system of my summer car with part scavenging from some dump or other station trucks abandoned for spooky reasons. Your minitrtuck can become haunted from the parts and do weird shit from time to time. Upgrades from space cat ships that you zip tie to your car to make it do things.

Are radar pings supposed to do anything? Everytime I go out to look at them there's never anything there.
The only time they ever do anything is when there's an event like the lights everywhere but it's still pointless.
I'm almost on day 30 and it just feels like barely anything has happened outside of the couple of story events.

>Don't understand what people see in Arirals
Mischievous space catgirls, or at least that's the impression this game gives me. I'm sure the multiboob is a plus for some too, although I'm not a huge fan myself.
people ignore the retarded lore and the model used in-game is constantly evolving. there's a lot of picking and choosing going around, for good reason.
Should of not let the humans fuck with their technology.
Now look at them, something that would be considered life threating is now "normal" and their suits no longer fit them. meaning they can't sneak around dr kel's base, throwing his kerfus blue (female) at them.
Are the green recycling bins a safe place to store items? I've just been testing and realized I can fit more scrap items in them than the item boxes (do they even have a limit on how much you can put in them?)
In 0.6.2, I used to use all that baochao as roach bait, so many roaches got charred in the microwave and turned into trash cubes. However, I eventually got tired of the nests displacing my furniture and just char-cubed what was left of the MREs.
>leave the soap in the shower >cockroaches appear in the shower
Is the soap considered food? I DID accidentally eat the soap in the main room I suppose
Ok I don't know who this "Quen" person is but I've gotten like six messages from space for them. Somebody tell that fucker to pick up his space phone so his ex or whatever the fuck stops messaging me about him.
Ok I'm gonna find that tree house and fuck some shit up. I fed my damn plushie 210 bucks worth of shrimp, and in return, I get a rock thrown at me, a pallet thrown at me, the roof hatch that was busted out thrown at me, my own fucking crowbar thrown at me, mother fuckers crossed a line.
public version is the latest from what ive seen
the patreon version will come out once he starts actually working on the next update instead of just doing bugfixes
he probably wont, too much of a coward, only saying it to threads that have fun instead of... oh i don't know, the zelda threads, the splatoon threads, delta, any game by todd howard, etc...
It would be neat to have a mechanic where the arirals put stuff in your base in exchange for leaving shrimp at their treehouse; for instance, going to sleep later on and waking up to find some item/s next to your bed of comparable value to the amount of shrimp you gave them.
>now the multiboob catgirls have dicks too
Is there any info on them and their biology available outside of the discord? The wiki's page on them currently has nothing but a few bits of fanart, and I'm curious if nose's magical realm is as extensive as syrsa's.
Most of them don't have dicks. The species is mostly male and female, with "hermales" being a rare mutation. I think some sort of lore document leaked somewhere and might've even been on the wiki, but it's apparently wildly out of date.
It never leaked, you can read it on the wiki if you check previous version of the ariral page. Its also on a Google doc. Almost all of it is subject to change though.

Thanks: I found it. Nowhere near as magical realmy than I was expecting, or at least not openly so.
And I didn't expect to be reminded of him by this game, at least until I saw how the arirals look without the invisibility camo
Perhaps it's just because they're tall alien girls with extra boob (except by number instead of size here), or perhaps it's the infusion of shitposting and fetishes into an otherwise grounded setting (or at least I assume they're fetish material; if so then nose is at least a lot more subtle about it to not be quite as jarring)
if you're referring to the dude, he still makes music and streams on his new channel. He deleted the syrsa one sadly. I do miss zerahypt updates as well, he did make a tiny demo of a zerahypt-like game, but I'm pretty sure it's dead.

I've never heard of this guy before, but from what I can gather he's just an autist who was also making a game about his own autistic fetish OC alien people but stopped, and also makes some sweet tunes? Am I missing anything? How fun is the game in its abandoned state, worth checking out?
Yeah, pretty much. He's been working on his game project for like 7 years, I think? It's more of an exploration game with some random encounters set on a massive spaceship that holds the remains of a destroyed planet on its surface. If that sounds interesting, go for it. It's my to-go game for just zoning out, relaxing and fucking around. >I've never heard of this guy before

As someone who is a massive Yume 2kki fan for this exact reason I will be the first to say that is a stupid idea for a game. Yume Nikki/2kki only works because of the scale. You are zoomed out and looking overhead. It would never work as a first person game as you will just get bored of traveling.
I'll settle for fucking them up with Home Alone style physics traps.

Printer/Fax or Industrial (3D) Printer?
Printer/Fax allows you to print photos taken with the digital camera
Industrial Printer allows you to import .obj files as 3d physics props
If you take photos via the digital cam ingame you can use it to print them out, probably something else I'm missing but it's worth the money just for that
Ok what the fuck just happened. Got blue floaty light for a second and then every fucking alarm in the base went off. Legit scared me, ran for the breakers and hid with my crowbar until the alarms went off
>see some praying mantis-like thing scatter somewhere into the distance at dusk >but the only thing on my mind is to go to bed after I've spent the ENTIRE day fixing three servers, writing down hash codes and investigating signals only to fail to send the daily task in time
And then the fucking power shut down on me in the middle of the night, too. How the hell do you get time to explore the map?
>barely assemble the necessary drives and hash codes in time and call the drone at 11PM, go to sleep >get a nightmare, wake up at 3AM >the drone is STILL fucking 2km away and I only get 10 points and a failed daily task
And now I have to get TWICE as many drives to complete the next daily? And with 3 new broken servers. What the fuck is up with this game?
I must've misremembered something then, but apart from that the game clearly takes me for some sort of superhuman. I'm starting to think that investing into level 1 computer upgrade as early as day 5 was a mistake and I should just spend the first few days collecting trash for selling.

This
fun fact: sleeping does not speed up the drone.
is exactly why the game want you to drink coffee or ideally if you have the points to spend chocolate bars (no harmful side effects) as sleeping only speed up the clock/time, processing and the 3D printer. Everything else is in real time. Hit or miss if entities are effected but the drone isn't one of them.
i just realized i can save all those signals to computer always been downloading signals, saving to computer while im running around fixing servers hash checking and reseting transformers upgraded early one play through and it became a nightmare where completing a daily meant missing one or two days
Ideally you should always have a signal being found (waiting for the satellites) or downloading AND another processing. Unless you have like 3 days worth of drives for tasks there is little reason to not make a decent collection in advance. You may delay computer power (overall profit) if you simply can't keep up but ideally it is better to work your ass off in 3 days for the same amount of points that would otherwise take you like a full week to make with level 0s if not longer. Once you get the ball rolling the game quickly become easy. The first three days are the only challenging bits. Everything should be maxed by day 20 leaving the other 20 for you to basically fuck around and watch TV doing the bare min. If I feel like playing extremely slow and casual I may wait a day or two before upgrading computer power though the longer you wait the more signals you gotta copy and process all at once just to catch up.

Yes but do not just because it is Planet [1] or whatever, EVEN if it have the same image it may or may not actually be a dupe. Turning glossary notifications on is the easiest way to know if it is a dupe or not but otherwise you have to check the file size as that is really the only thing set in stone. Even then multiple signals can share the same file size though unlikely. Like to give an idea there is 6 signals that comes from Earth alone. There is like over 20 that comes from deep space with no object picture. In total there is over 200 unique signals though not even 1/4th of them have anything noteworthy on them. Glossary aside the game give extremely little info about signals while actually playing the game.

Most can only be obtained by getting the one that comes before it or when you reach a given day. Pyramid being a good example can only be gotten while the yellow wisps are out but before the pyramid itself comes.
Been trying to extract Kerfus' meow, which I'm assuming is just 'meow' in the files, but the extractor I'm using seems to extract it corrupted
Does anyone have the sound file by chance?
Little fuckers stuck me and my mattress on the ridge by romeo. They like pranks huh? Think they're fuckin funny? "oooooo we gonna get you in four days human!" mother fucker try it. You think you're fucking slick? Well guess what? MY FLOOR IS SLICKER!
I'd say 50/50 whether it's intentional or not, but only becaise Kel has encountered Ariral ships multiple times by the time the event triggers, and he dreams of a completely different UFO. I wonder is the dream ship will be the Grey's UFO.
Only if you steal their big items, if you're sleeping on one of their beds when you get abducted they send 2 arirs to kick your ass (at leastvtgats what happened with me.)
What the fuck am I even supposed to do during dreams? All I can do is run around and then drown or get molested by stick men. Statistic say they can be "completed" but how?
Mannequin one you need to survive for 2 minutes, and the closing walls one you need to not touch the walls no matter what, the rest should be pretty obvious.
Nose
I know you lurk here
I'm BEGGING you as someone who is a signal autist to be able to upgrade multiple signals at once even if it's like a 1000 credit module
I would also like it if signal processing and calculations could be separate things on the power block so I don't need to have the entire 40% power consumption going when I just want to check server status on the computers or grab hashes but don't need to process signals and vice versa
Bad sun was decided a day in advance. If you saved at all the day before then you MUST do the event to completion or else reset your save file in some way. Unsure how End is Near works exactly beyond being active as soon you get level 3 drive regardless if you look at it or not. Heard some people had brick their saves over it. There is only like 2 drives in the whole game currently with 0.0666MB file size. If you get it then maybe turn autosaving off for a bit. There are achievements for dying to bad sun and the end is near. They should be applied to the data file as soon you hit the main menu on death, if you want to be extra safe you can make sure they saved by applying your settings.
the OP of the videos said in the past he wasn't using that at all and did it in survival, so i'm inclined to believe he cheated it out or something else
trial and error my dude
you wont get any signal hash objectives until your next day so dont worry about that for now.
just get familiar with the base in the centre of the map
Accept you gotta learn stuff the hard way. As long fines are disabled on your settings nothing bad will happen if you don't do your job. You can spend literal days doing nothing and it wouldn't hurt you. Just try to learn the game then maybe try a legit run from the start doing your daily tasks. Under settings in the E tab (experimental) you can disable Dr. Kel being picky with food. Highly recommend disabling that and only enable it once you know how to get enough points for a decent diet and still make progress. First run, heck first few runs will likely be ass.

I would also add that you can shove stuff into the mailbox by your front door to transfer them between saves so if you've gotten yourself some tools but you feel like you're in a fucked situation you can start a new game and not feel like you lost absolutely all your progress
Yeah, I have a theoretical PHD in physics, can confirm there is nothing spooky about working at a satellite array in the woods. Although it is a very good idea to buy some shrimp and keep it in the breakroom fridge.
I'm not sure if even the models have six fingies, but I prefer them that way, makes them slightly more alien when they're so plain compared to everyone else
[...]

>only 5 fingers
I royally fucked this up, I'm going back to this in a bit, don't download this version it's an incognito hazard.
Saved but also kept the old. Would make for a fun spot the diff game. Literally never noticed the 6 fingers thing until now and it is insane how I am able to miss it when I have stuff like this.
thank you, I'm glad this game has threads now, I love drawing for these. Soon i would like to draw some more environments concepts and ideas, the pinup drawings arc is fun though.
so I started playing this about a week ago, and I thought the ambience and tense atmosphere was cool but now I see the dev adding robots with wide hips and furries. sooo... was this always supposed to not be a horror game? or at least a tense game? most of the light dread and tension I've felt has completely evaporated after this cat robot showed up
It a weird mix between a ambience job sim with small bits of horror/thriller stuff but also the dev dumping grounds for any shit idea he may have or think could be funny. Literally a lot of stuff exist just because he wanted Joel to see it. Thankfully if the Kerfus kill your mood you can simply play without them. Maxed out servers generally is enough to make it so only 1-2 servers might fail at any given day if at that.
God fucking damn it I knew this shit was going to happen eventually. Had a votv dream, was getting chased by greys, jumped on the ATV and hauled ass to the tree house screaming for help, a couple of arir blasted them from the window of the tree house and then went back to sleep. I probably owed them a lot of shrimp but I woke up before I could place the order.
honestly sound like a happy dream. I would buy the shrimp anyway irl game just because of that. I am the type that used to load up old ass games trying to go to the secrets areas because I saw them in a dream. Knowing they are fake I like fulfilling dreams if that make any sense.
Did you adjust the polarity/frequency to match the signal?
The polarity mode might also need to be correct to get the signal too (I can't remember if the tutorial had the module to not need it)
I don't know if you are shitposting or not, but genuine spoiler: The story doesn't actually start until about day 10 and lasts until I think day 44 with the most recent update. The game will try to lead you to certain areas sometimes, especially with the radar, to show you where you will encounter something. The first 10 days are supposed to be a sort of tutorial period, only random events can happen.
>I don't know if you are shitposting or not,
Maybe just a bit? I'm like 20 hash reports (played on easy early on), 10 generator resets and god knows how many tapes in and I'm feeling restless. I've looked at some spoilers and it doesn't seem like the picnic spawned and without a single interesting signal (planet, gas giant, asteroid, neutron star, planet...) I've been starting to wonder if the internal scripting died. I've had the odd foggy / rainy / stormy / firefly day, but nothing dramatic.
Don't do easy.
First event should've been on day 6, nothing bit.
Day ten has a bit more to it.
Day 13-14 should be the next one.

Signals are not events, those are pretty much random, though there are events tied to getting the signals. Daily events are set in stone, though some are blink and you'll miss it. The game does try to make you aware of them, however.
>'can't find server'
I'm fairly sure that just means there's none left to fix. >won't sit still
That one's fair: it could definitely be a bit less hyper around the player, just so that it's easier to interact with. >suddenly no plug
The "toggle" option enables/disables it, so that it isn't dragging the thing around everywhere.

Did you process those signals you sent them to level 3? The sender of one of them might have stolen it while they were down there.

Brown mushrooms are evil, you should burn them when you encounter them lest you anger th
How do you even grow any mushrooms?
Are the green recycling bins a safe place to store items? I've just been testing and realized I can fit more scrap items in them than the item boxes (do they even have a limit on how much you can put in them?)

In 0.6.2, I used to use all that baochao as roach bait, so many roaches got charred in the microwave and turned into trash cubes. However, I eventually got tired of the nests displacing my furniture and just char-cubed what was left of the MREs.
If you mean cockroaches, I never got one and they've been there on the table for week or two
>leave the soap in the shower

Is the soap considered food? I DID accidentally eat the soap in the main room I suppose
yes
Ok I don't know who this "Quen" person is but I've gotten like six messages from space for them. Somebody tell that fucker to pick up his space phone so his ex or whatever the fuck stops messaging me about him.
Did he make the core gameplay loop not be boring, tedious dogshit? Because if not, then it doesn't fucking matter if there's a new base.
Ok I'm gonna find that tree house and fuck some shit up. I fed my damn plushie 210 bucks worth of shrimp, and in return, I get a rock thrown at me, a pallet thrown at me, the roof hatch that was busted out thrown at me, my own fucking crowbar thrown at me, mother fuckers crossed a line.

Try searching the area around tr_0
How do you recharge the drone?
Never used it myself, but I've heard that it takes batteries like the flashlight
Throw batteries at it.
Is there a reason why transformer 0 is gussling electricity? I recharged it this morning and it drained faster than the others.
The transformer that gets drained is random.
Ah ty.
Is v0.6.3b the most recent version or is there some secret discord version?
public version is the latest from what ive seen
the patreon version will come out once he starts actually working on the next update instead of just doing bugfixes
>>>/vg/
Then make a thread homosexual.
he probably wont, too much of a coward, only saying it to threads that have fun instead of... oh i don't know, the zelda threads, the splatoon threads, delta, any game by todd howard, etc...
I predict that this schizo is next gonna post on the sharty to raid votv threads just like the schizo who hated the pizza tower threads
will you eat a dick later when nothing happens?
Which mountains is the basement notebook referring to?
It would be neat to have a mechanic where the arirals put stuff in your base in exchange for leaving shrimp at their treehouse; for instance, going to sleep later on and waking up to find some item/s next to your bed of comparable value to the amount of shrimp you gave them.

Is there any info on them and their biology available outside of the discord? The wiki's page on them currently has nothing but a few bits of fanart, and I'm curious if nose's magical realm is as extensive as syrsa's.
Only some of them.
Most of them don't have dicks. The species is mostly male and female, with "hermales" being a rare mutation. I think some sort of lore document leaked somewhere and might've even been on the wiki, but it's apparently wildly out of date.
It never leaked, you can read it on the wiki if you check previous version of the ariral page. Its also on a Google doc. Almost all of it is subject to change though.
Thanks: I found it. Nowhere near as magical realmy than I was expecting, or at least not openly so.
>syrsa
didn't expect to see a mention of him around here
And I didn't expect to be reminded of him by this game, at least until I saw how the arirals look without the invisibility camo
Perhaps it's just because they're tall alien girls with extra boob (except by number instead of size here), or perhaps it's the infusion of shitposting and fetishes into an otherwise grounded setting (or at least I assume they're fetish material; if so then nose is at least a lot more subtle about it to not be quite as jarring)
i miss this nigga like you wouldnt believe
if you're referring to the dude, he still makes music and streams on his new channel. He deleted the syrsa one sadly. I do miss zerahypt updates as well, he did make a tiny demo of a zerahypt-like game, but I'm pretty sure it's dead.
this is his new channel: https://www.youtube.com/@The_SY-RSA/videos
I've never heard of this guy before, but from what I can gather he's just an autist who was also making a game about his own autistic fetish OC alien people but stopped, and also makes some sweet tunes? Am I missing anything? How fun is the game in its abandoned state, worth checking out?
Yeah, pretty much. He's been working on his game project for like 7 years, I think? It's more of an exploration game with some random encounters set on a massive spaceship that holds the remains of a destroyed planet on its surface. If that sounds interesting, go for it. It's my to-go game for just zoning out, relaxing and fucking around.
>I've never heard of this guy before
He was mostly known for his animations and music, especially vid related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgUbRpdUN1w
What fetishes does his magical realm feature?
uhhh lots of bouncing booba and butta, macro, basically all women, occasional ugly goblinoid, hints of vore, and a fetish for massive open landscapes with nothing to do other than walk around
Where can I read about that?
you don't read it, nigga, you play it or listen to it (but not to the dev, he's perpetually fuming at everyone)
>you play it or listen to it
So there is a game and an audio book?
zerahypt, it should be no less functional than I last tried it 3 years ago though I have no idea what the fuck the "development" is, if there is one
What's the gameplay like? The Itch page is quite barebones.
it's a walking, driving and UI grappling simulator
>and a fetish for massive open landscapes with nothing to do other than walk around
As someone who is a massive Yume 2kki fan for this exact reason I will be the first to say that is a stupid idea for a game. Yume Nikki/2kki only works because of the scale. You are zoomed out and looking overhead. It would never work as a first person game as you will just get bored of traveling.

>>new reactor photos leak
i took those screenshots myself while the thread was active
its been in the game for a while
what's the point of the printer though I dun geddit
Printer/Fax or Industrial (3D) Printer?
Printer/Fax allows you to print photos taken with the digital camera
Industrial Printer allows you to import .obj files as 3d physics props
If you take photos via the digital cam ingame you can use it to print them out, probably something else I'm missing but it's worth the money just for that
is that...?
it's HIM anon
I've never tried printing or using the corkboard; can the photos be connected with red string to turn it into a schizomap? If not, then they should.
schizomaxxing is DEFINITELY possible
real schizomaxxing would be eating the hallucinatory burgers
Ok what the fuck just happened. Got blue floaty light for a second and then every fucking alarm in the base went off. Legit scared me, ran for the breakers and hid with my crowbar until the alarms went off

And then the fucking power shut down on me in the middle of the night, too. How the hell do you get time to explore the map?
>How the hell do you get time to explore the map?
Meow.
>barely assemble the necessary drives and hash codes in time and call the drone at 11PM, go to sleep
>get a nightmare, wake up at 3AM
>the drone is STILL fucking 2km away and I only get 10 points and a failed daily task
And now I have to get TWICE as many drives to complete the next daily? And with 3 new broken servers. What the fuck is up with this game?
fun fact: sleeping does not speed up the drone.
I must've misremembered something then, but apart from that the game clearly takes me for some sort of superhuman. I'm starting to think that investing into level 1 computer upgrade as early as day 5 was a mistake and I should just spend the first few days collecting trash for selling.
This
is exactly why the game want you to drink coffee or ideally if you have the points to spend chocolate bars (no harmful side effects) as sleeping only speed up the clock/time, processing and the 3D printer. Everything else is in real time. Hit or miss if entities are effected but the drone isn't one of them.
>Hit or miss if entities are effected
youve never slept and watched as a golden wisp flew at lightspeed across the river and up to your door?
Why I said hit or miss. I know some enemies aren't effected though generally the game prevent you from sleeping while they are active.
i just realized i can save all those signals to computer always been downloading signals, saving to computer while im running around fixing servers hash checking and reseting transformers upgraded early one play through and it became a nightmare where completing a daily meant missing one or two days
imagine not turning off everything while you're outside the base so you don't waste power
i only turn off the lights meanwhile everything else is running doing things
what the fuck
the lights matter the absolute least and I never ever turn them off
What the fuck is this word salad?
he's been pissmaxxing and stalling for the sleep demon in real life for too many days in a row
Ideally you should always have a signal being found (waiting for the satellites) or downloading AND another processing. Unless you have like 3 days worth of drives for tasks there is little reason to not make a decent collection in advance. You may delay computer power (overall profit) if you simply can't keep up but ideally it is better to work your ass off in 3 days for the same amount of points that would otherwise take you like a full week to make with level 0s if not longer. Once you get the ball rolling the game quickly become easy. The first three days are the only challenging bits. Everything should be maxed by day 20 leaving the other 20 for you to basically fuck around and watch TV doing the bare min. If I feel like playing extremely slow and casual I may wait a day or two before upgrading computer power though the longer you wait the more signals you gotta copy and process all at once just to catch up.
I have 6 boxes entirely full of fully processed drives and the vast majority of those are just fucking duplicates
is it normal to get nothing but generic planets, asteroids, stars and the occasional repeat nothing?
Yes but do not just because it is Planet [1] or whatever, EVEN if it have the same image it may or may not actually be a dupe. Turning glossary notifications on is the easiest way to know if it is a dupe or not but otherwise you have to check the file size as that is really the only thing set in stone. Even then multiple signals can share the same file size though unlikely. Like to give an idea there is 6 signals that comes from Earth alone. There is like over 20 that comes from deep space with no object picture. In total there is over 200 unique signals though not even 1/4th of them have anything noteworthy on them. Glossary aside the game give extremely little info about signals while actually playing the game.
>but do not
but do note*
Sorry had a stroke while typing.
no, I turned on glossary notifications, and I'll be lucky if I get a single new signal in like 100, and I'm only up to 80 in the glossary
Most can only be obtained by getting the one that comes before it or when you reach a given day. Pyramid being a good example can only be gotten while the yellow wisps are out but before the pyramid itself comes.
This never happened.
I get teleported to a stone maze. Is there a way out?
Been trying to extract Kerfus' meow, which I'm assuming is just 'meow' in the files, but the extractor I'm using seems to extract it corrupted

I like sprinting too much to float at sub-20 all the time.
Then again, I have been meaning to try and steal some dream items.
>stealing dream items
how
I'm not entirely sure, but I'm pretty sure it's possible, and I have some ideas as to how.
It used to be possible, but I'm pretty sure this was patched.
Little fuckers stuck me and my mattress on the ridge by romeo. They like pranks huh? Think they're fuckin funny? "oooooo we gonna get you in four days human!" mother fucker try it. You think you're fucking slick? Well guess what? MY FLOOR IS SLICKER!
this doesnt actually do anything
Spoken like an arir that fears slip and fall hazards. Sounds like I need to eat more bananas.
Anon, the arirs didn't do it, in fact they become hostile thinking you stole their matress if you are sleeping in the tree house during this event.
Now here's the big question. Is that actually true lorewise, or is that yet another of Nose's many oversights?
>or is that yet another of Nose's many oversights?
im guessing this
I'd say 50/50 whether it's intentional or not, but only becaise Kel has encountered Ariral ships multiple times by the time the event triggers, and he dreams of a completely different UFO. I wonder is the dream ship will be the Grey's UFO.
They become hostile if you sleep in their tree house?
Only if you steal their big items, if you're sleeping on one of their beds when you get abducted they send 2 arirs to kick your ass (at leastvtgats what happened with me.)
What the fuck am I even supposed to do during dreams? All I can do is run around and then drown or get molested by stick men. Statistic say they can be "completed" but how?
jump puzzles and mazes
Each one has a different objective, but some of them aren't even worth trying.
Usually a door, obvious collectible, or some kind of survival timer.
Mannequin one you need to survive for 2 minutes, and the closing walls one you need to not touch the walls no matter what, the rest should be pretty obvious.
So what changed with the zombie deer? Noticed it was in the patch notes
Nose
I know you lurk here
I'm BEGGING you as someone who is a signal autist to be able to upgrade multiple signals at once even if it's like a 1000 credit module
I would also like it if signal processing and calculations could be separate things on the power block so I don't need to have the entire 40% power consumption going when I just want to check server status on the computers or grab hashes but don't need to process signals and vice versa
Anyone find this poster yet? I already found the other 3.
From what I heard it isn't in the game yet outside of sandbox mode. A real shame as I don't care about the cats but I fine the poster cute anyway.
so if you die during the deadly events like bad sun or end is near, does it just cancel when reloading after dying?
Bad sun was decided a day in advance. If you saved at all the day before then you MUST do the event to completion or else reset your save file in some way. Unsure how End is Near works exactly beyond being active as soon you get level 3 drive regardless if you look at it or not. Heard some people had brick their saves over it. There is only like 2 drives in the whole game currently with 0.0666MB file size. If you get it then maybe turn autosaving off for a bit. There are achievements for dying to bad sun and the end is near. They should be applied to the data file as soon you hit the main menu on death, if you want to be extra safe you can make sure they saved by applying your settings.
is there some black magic to move transformers or something? someone on discord keeps posting vids with these on the sidelines
I know you can clip things through walls with the gravity gun, I wonder if you can grab the transformer with it.
the OP of the videos said in the past he wasn't using that at all and did it in survival, so i'm inclined to believe he cheated it out or something else
I tried to play it but I have not a single idea what the fuck I should be doing
You job, now hurry up, those hash reports won't do themselves pal.
trial and error my dude
you wont get any signal hash objectives until your next day so dont worry about that for now.
just get familiar with the base in the centre of the map
Accept you gotta learn stuff the hard way. As long fines are disabled on your settings nothing bad will happen if you don't do your job. You can spend literal days doing nothing and it wouldn't hurt you. Just try to learn the game then maybe try a legit run from the start doing your daily tasks. Under settings in the E tab (experimental) you can disable Dr. Kel being picky with food. Highly recommend disabling that and only enable it once you know how to get enough points for a decent diet and still make progress. First run, heck first few runs will likely be ass.
I would also add that you can shove stuff into the mailbox by your front door to transfer them between saves so if you've gotten yourself some tools but you feel like you're in a fucked situation you can start a new game and not feel like you lost absolutely all your progress

yeah it slips my mind, I should commit the 6 finger rule for arirals to memory though, important details.

dont scare me like that, just the 6
Perfect as always, draw anon. Love it.
thank you, I'm glad this game has threads now, I love drawing for these. Soon i would like to draw some more environments concepts and ideas, the pinup drawings arc is fun though.

What happened to the skin of those pantsu I saw posted anyway?
Another fine addition to the smut folder of a game I've never played.
Keep up the good work.
so I started playing this about a week ago, and I thought the ambience and tense atmosphere was cool but now I see the dev adding robots with wide hips and furries. sooo... was this always supposed to not be a horror game? or at least a tense game? most of the light dread and tension I've felt has completely evaporated after this cat robot showed up
It a weird mix between a ambience job sim with small bits of horror/thriller stuff but also the dev dumping grounds for any shit idea he may have or think could be funny. Literally a lot of stuff exist just because he wanted Joel to see it. Thankfully if the Kerfus kill your mood you can simply play without them. Maxed out servers generally is enough to make it so only 1-2 servers might fail at any given day if at that.
>a lot of stuff exist just because he wanted Joel to see it
that explains so much
Why don't you stop reading these threads and go play the game dipshit
>robots with wide hips and furries.
you didnt play the game and have no intention of playing the game. you just want to shitpost
God fucking damn it I knew this shit was going to happen eventually. Had a votv dream, was getting chased by greys, jumped on the ATV and hauled ass to the tree house screaming for help, a couple of arir blasted them from the window of the tree house and then went back to sleep. I probably owed them a lot of shrimp but I woke up before I could place the order.
honestly sound like a happy dream. I would buy the shrimp anyway irl game just because of that. I am the type that used to load up old ass games trying to go to the secrets areas because I saw them in a dream. Knowing they are fake I like fulfilling dreams if that make any sense.
I've heard that Dr. Kel has a gigantic penis, much bigger and fatter than many humans, is that true?

Did you adjust the polarity/frequency to match the signal?
The polarity mode might also need to be correct to get the signal too (I can't remember if the tutorial had the module to not need it)
it says I need to do that only if I can't find the signal, but I guess it's that. I'll try again then, in 3/4 hours or so
Kerfus is such cancer.
>'can't find server'
>won't sit still
>suddenly no plug
I spend 500 points on this.
Send kerfus to hell.
I might. It's day 10 and I'm bored absolutely shitless. Seems like all the effort went into easter eggs and not the game?
I don't know if you are shitposting or not, but genuine spoiler: The story doesn't actually start until about day 10 and lasts until I think day 44 with the most recent update. The game will try to lead you to certain areas sometimes, especially with the radar, to show you where you will encounter something. The first 10 days are supposed to be a sort of tutorial period, only random events can happen.
>I don't know if you are shitposting or not,
Maybe just a bit? I'm like 20 hash reports (played on easy early on), 10 generator resets and god knows how many tapes in and I'm feeling restless. I've looked at some spoilers and it doesn't seem like the picnic spawned and without a single interesting signal (planet, gas giant, asteroid, neutron star, planet...) I've been starting to wonder if the internal scripting died. I've had the odd foggy / rainy / stormy / firefly day, but nothing dramatic.
Well then go ahead and read my spoiler, it only spoils how the story mode works, not a specific event.
Don't do easy.
First event should've been on day 6, nothing bit.
Day ten has a bit more to it.
Day 13-14 should be the next one.
>First event should've been on day 6, nothing bit.
I had a 'unknown' signal that sounded like a really distorted 'we come in peace'. Might have been from an odd triangle thing. I really did expect more random signals and events though.
Signals are not events, those are pretty much random, though there are events tied to getting the signals. Daily events are set in stone, though some are blink and you'll miss it. The game does try to make you aware of them, however.
>'can't find server'
I'm fairly sure that just means there's none left to fix.
>won't sit still
That one's fair: it could definitely be a bit less hyper around the player, just so that it's easier to interact with.
>suddenly no plug
The "toggle" option enables/disables it, so that it isn't dragging the thing around everywhere.
>none left to fix
I'm sure there was at least one sat down when I last saved, but when I went to look just now, they're all up. Weird.
>toggle
oh, that's what it does. thanks.
yeah, 'kerfus can't find broken server' means its done fixing stuff.
