hold trash bag or trash roll in hand, right click (or left i cant remember) on piles of trash to turn it into a trash bag. sell trash bags for money in the new item boxes or just put them into the recycle bin. trash bag rolls have 12 uses. the trash bags are really fragile, be careful.
it just demo not done game has some to do but not done where you are scared while recording tapes and aliens arrive but you will get hit by them if you try to approach too casually beware the invisible ones they will frick you cat
Not reading the thread don't want to spoilers just asking.
How the frick do you clean the trash is there a dumpster somewhere? And there's a broom and a bucket how do I use it?
I wanna be in a comfy room not some squatter hobo abandoned facility
It's currently better to buy an item box and sell the trash, but there are 3 bins immediately to the right of the garage door.
Broom pushes loose physics objects around, bucket can be filled with water at the pool/river and you can use a wet sponge or mop to wipe grime off of walls and floors
[...]
step 1: buy and item box from the store
step 2: buy as many garbage bags as you can
step 3: with a garbage bag in your hand right click on the garbage. you need 1 bag per pile
step 4: put all the full garbage bags in the item box
step 5: put the item box on the drone platform and hit the call drone button
step 6: profit
The broom is for pushing junk props around, the mop is what you're looking for to clean walls. To use the mop's bucket, dunk it in your government mandaded minecraft 2x2 of water to refill it.
To get rid of trash, first put it in a trash bag by pressing right mouse with a garbage bag in your hand. If you don't want to sell it (for some reason), you can then put it in a recycling bin, 3 of which are located to the right of the garage. If you DO want to sell one, refer to [...] 's post.

This shit is obnoxious as hell. My second day I figured I'd beeline for the bot after three servers went down when I was out fixing one. So I get it, turn the fricker on, and sicced it on the servers and it just fricked off out the front door, never to be seen again with no servers repaired in the process. A transformer blew on day 5, so I had to spend all damn day driving to the ass end of nowhere to unmapped locations to push buttons and fix it. It's fricking tedious.
yeah this is what killed it for me, having to run around and fix servers at the beginning is lame as frick
i think i have bad RNG too and i'm blind or something because i got to day 5 without seeing a single thing or having anything happen other than clattering of random props, which i find funny but ultimately the only spooky thing so far has just been ambience sound files

I'm pretty sure, yeah. Having watched Joel and Spazmatic Banana play the game, I was curious as to what happened if I just left them there. Turns out they just walk off on their own at some point, leaving empty stands.
can you actually break the supply boxes? i smashed one with a hammer for a full minute and nothing happened
You're not just holding E and swinging it around, are you? Joel did this for a while. When your cursor is over the hammer, select "Hold".

When he does allow something to slip through, he still makes sure to censor it to all hell, so overall he's pretty based.
For example, the uncompressed version of the server's texture references Mal0, or scp-1471. It's INCREDIBLY pixelated ingame, to the point of illegibility.
I honestly wouldn't mind Mal0 being in the game in some way if done well, but that probably isn't a direction he wants to go in. Not to mention the licensing issues and the fact we have something in the game sort of like that already, the Wendigo.

How the frick do you trigger encounters? I'm 11 days in and I've seen nothing, even gone to some of the flashing dots on the radar, and didn't find squat. Is there something I need to do?
I've found that events tend to happen earlier the sooner you can refine level three signals. Might be a coincidence, though. I did notice too that setting the game to Hard triggered less events as well, probably due to the faster passage of time not being completely tuned and accounted for since it's a WIP.
10 days is where I'd say things roughly "start", I can't remember when the picnic disappears or even appears, but it sorta feels like every 10 days things get more intense for lack of a better word.
I'm not looking forward to playing through again after doing 31 days two major updates ago and then 16 the one before the trash update.
You didn't tell me it was a horror game. On the day 2(or 3) some air sirens went on and when I went outside to look for something I started dropping gibs while camera was panning to the forest and there was a black censored square somewhere, I stood like that for 15 secs and got gibbed and bam Game Over. Wtf was that?
The forest is dead, my download speed is in shambles, the transformers are about to give out, and I failed the report, but at least I got a cheevo that does nothing to commemorate the occasion.
I hope the game will continue to add stuff like interesting channels, rather than get a series of updates with ebin events for Joel to trigger and autsitically screech at.
Seeing how far the game came from its first version its really coming together as a real game now and its got so much potential. Nose has a great sense for how you can frick with players. I just hope it wont all be so... overt I guess?
Subtle spooks are hard and he's been doing great with those.
That said, do you guys have anything like a wishlist of stuff he'd add? I think maybe a little customization to your base would be nice, changing the walls or floor color/texture maybe
More "smaller" events. Like the stuff that happens with the trees and door that spawns outside. Small things like that that are meant to intentionally unsettle the player's preconceived notions and make them question if what they just saw or heard was real, and if it was, was it a bug or a feature. A couple hundred of these micro-events would go a long way to increase tension in the player and make them uncomfortable and feel unsafe.
I think hes done most of the easy tricks in that regard already, triggering the door lock's sfx, footsteps around the base etc. But im sure its possible to think of more stuff like that.
One aspect Ive liked about VoTV is that it isnt aliens per se that are spooky and messing with you, theres the potential for supernatural occurances in general and itd be hard to tell the apart from alien frickery.
Ive thought about trying to use local folklore like the wendigo already in the game (which is an american thing, not swiss) but I think most of it wouldnt lend itself well to a game like this. a lot of that stuff is if you do or see X you will mysteriously die soon after.
I always thought signal sim was genius for making you see through the window over the edge of your console at all times, I think you could probably do a lot with that.
It's more of meme DUDE WEED LMAO shit, but I remember hearing some gay on youtube talking about an idea of adding catnip into the game and have it be essentially censored weed for the player, but because it's catnip - Arirals react to it akin to shrimp and try to eat it too. >Sit in the base, microwaving cat zaza, for science >Ariral comes in and ragdolls you >Right as you hit the floor the invisible frick grabs the catnip and eats the whole bag in one go >It's invisibility silhouette ragdolls and hits the fricking table immediately
It could also be a good way to fight with ariral pranks, now that i think of it.

Well, it's also the 24th, so people are going to talk more about it today.
But I do see your point, and I agree. These threads are almost turning into a general at this point, not that I think we need one. Maybe we can have a boilerplate warning at the start of each thread regarding spoilers, and how knowing too much about the game before playing it can harm your first time experience more than most games? After all, if someone new knows a lot about the events that happen in the game, they might view actually playing to be a tedious way to see the events play out themselves. This is especially not ideal considering VotV's gameplay loop in particular.
Maybe we can be more vague and subtle in the beginning post(s) to encourage anons who come across these threads to just try the (FREE) game and report back if they have any questions. As an example, I always thought it was interesting how everyone was "in" on keeping the big spoiler quests in Warframe unspoiled out of respect for new players; being intentionally vague about it, not using certain gameplay elements around new players, etc.
>I don't want people to play VotV. Anon, think about it; if we refuse to divulge info to every tourist that visits these threads beyond those who genuinely want to play the game, you'll get your wish. Especially since most on Ganker are too impatient to want to just explore games on their own, and want to be told what games they should play.
What does copying do to a file?
I noticed the copy has an asterisk and shows yellow on a drive.
I have no processor power but nabbed a signal from a very obvious [object] and want to process it further later.
Save the signal for later. The copying function is to process the signal when you have the correct processing power to do so, since you cannot sell drives that have copied data (yellow light).
You can upgrade a saved signal, but then that one won't be sellable again.
For example, if you sold a level 0 signal, copied it, upgraded it to level 1, sold that, and then repeated the process to get another fresh upgraded copy, you would make money off the first version, but not the second.
you can copy a signal 3 times, and upgrade each copy to a further level than the last, and sell them along with the original. but you can only do that once per lvl 0 signal.
Is it more worthwhile to keep the original of an obvious anomaly to sell the processed version when I can, or is saving just so you don't need to miss out?
Is it more worthwhile to keep the original of an obvious anomaly to sell the processed version when I can, or is saving just so you don't need to miss out?
What if i copy a lvl 0 signal i already processed and sold, then process it again, then send it again because the light is now green?
Wait, so I can sell two versions of the same signal?
The original and a single upgraded copy (no matter what level)?
First a couple of notes. Game is WIP, so this can change, bear in mind: >Your computer power has a max level of 3, you have to scroll down on Upgrades on the computer to see it >When you upgrade it, Dr. Bao's will request more drives, and of higher refinement >There is a module for Automatic Signal Processing. If you want the most money, I recommend you DON'T get it at first since you can send off drives of each level; level 0, level 1, level 2, and level 3. You can manually set the module to which level you want it to process to, but it's best to just not have it at all if your focus is getting the most money. >At max upgrades for everything, it will always take longer to process a single signal from level 0 to level 3 than it will to just download a new signal. YMMV depending on your current upgrades, of course. >Drives that have a yellow light (copied data) cannot be sold
>Find signal >Download signal >Save signal to computer (easy to forget, best to get in the habit early) >Listen to signal >Save signal to drive >Set drive aside for sending off to Dr. Bao >Copy signal you just saved to a new drive >Bring that drive over to the Processing station >Begin processing (filtering) >While that drive is being processed, find a new signal >Begin downloading it > A) When the signal is done processing, bring it over to the Playing station and save it to the computer > B) Listen to it too if you like > C) Save signal to drive > D) Set that drive aside for sending off to Dr. Bao > E) Get a new drive and copy the signal you just saved > F) Process that signal as well >Repeat steps A through F until you have a level 3 signal, or whatever you computer level currently allows >Profit
In between all of this, you can download multiple signals and build a backlog. This is fine in the beginning, but I find it to be easier to just let the downloaded signal wait on the Downloading station after a certain point.
>played for a long while after bad sun day >quit and play again later >suddenly assaulted by how green and loud the forest is

The thing that made me quit before was the core loop being incompatible with the majority of the content in the actual game. Focusing on processing signals means you miss out on literally everything. You can't go check things out in the woods because you need to focus on processing signals. On top of that, you need a map. And the map takes a few days to earn and you're foregoing upgrades. And if you're foregoing the upgrades for other shit, everything takes longer. So you need to adhere to the loop. But then you miss everything happening outside. And this is just another layer on that cake. More busywork. More to worry about. Less fluidity to the flow that further obstructs the exploration and intrigue side of the game. The few times spooky shit happened on my last attempt to play through, I totally missed it because of the task-oriented tunnel vision required to keep the flow moving.

No. I'm running out in the middle of the night to do maintenance. Straight line to here, straight line to there. If I see something, I might check it out, but for events that happen I'm never going out there to see them.

You can disable the penalties from the daily mission if that's what you're bothered about.

Gamedev is most likely his full time job since he doesn't need a regular one. For example, me and my family live in Russia, we make ~1000$ per month, and are considered quite well off.
Russia takes a big cut off patreon monies, I imagine kazazkhstan. The money you get from a normal job also has part of it effectively withheld for your pension etc.
3k is likely still a very good income, but he will not have those 3k on hand when he cashes in on his patreon. I think he'd lose at least a third.

This is not how it works for such countries tho. Patreon doesn't deal with their taxes. You get full money. It's your choice to pay or not pay taxes. You need to do it manually. Generally majority of freelancers didn't pay any taxes at all up until now (4% if under $25k). Banks don't really care about "small money". Tax rates for self-employed are the lowest one and you don't pay for pension unless you want it. Just saying.

I think Russia is a bit of a backwards shithole but this is genuinely something they hold over the U.S.
I'm one fricking guy who works freelance with a net-zero presence on the state's infrastructure beyond being alive which has its own separate tax costs I already have to pay, why do I have to pay more in taxes than the israeliteBlack folk who buy up half the land and use up all the fricking electricity, water, and bandwidth they can get their grubby mitts on while contributing nothing to society around them?
PSA: You can target transformers with the computer just like you can target servers, so you can go fix that low one without needing to guess which one it is.
The Sun comes, then it goes, then it doesn't happen again on the 24th of the month anymore once you have the achievement I think
It certainly sucks for an early day.
Used to detect anomalous energy, whether alien or supernatural. The wendigo skulls, for example, give a very high reading. It's best to use it as you have been; using the metal detector first. Does not give readings on Arirals.

The sun has been conquered by the caveman of patience. Can't be fricked doing daily tasks.
Kel has to be either jacked or supernatural to be breaking crates open with a rock and lifting an atv above his head out of a river without even slowing down.
smartest move is to hit multiple boxes at the same time. the ones in the bedroom are close enough to hit three at once while just flailing your mouse around.
There is an in-game 3D printer. If you put a .obj 3D model and a .png texture of the same name into "VotVAssetsmeshesprinter", you can print it. The in-game help menu has more info on that.
i reinstalled the game and for some reason i can't get past the tutorial now. if i go into the tutorial and exit it doesn't unlock the other modes, same thing if i actually play through the whole level.
You experience a bunch of the Ariral's property in the game, but the only physical contact is you getting smacked halfway to albequerque by an invisible one.
The titty cats are arirals, one of the creator's pet races. They are, very bluntly, mary sues that stand in as high tech alien pranksters. In the game their presence is mostly felt through references and harassing the player. Outside of the game, you have standard Discord furry coomer crap that creeps in from time to time. There are a few entries for them on R34 that give a hint as to how that goes.
Nose is actually pretty modest with the NSFW part of them, keeping it entirely contained to the designated channels. I dare not enter or even dignify the roleplay channel, so I have it hidden.
Yep. And though it may come up as a subject of argument, their design document basically spells out mary sue. Super-strong, super-smart, super-capable, immune to basically everything both physically and as a byproduct of their technology which renders them functionally invincible where they could high-dive into a star and come out the other side intact.

The social dynamics of the greater ariral race are a mess.
Just had a bad sun event during the day now something makes my lights flicker really rarely during night, but also won't let me sleep. Who's playing tricks on me? Can't see a radar blip and there's nothing near base.
Can you send a lvl 0 signal (don't have any upgrades yet), receive points, upgrade the signal from storage and receive points again?
The dev's game design is very well done. Leads me to believe the atv being the worst fricking thing I've ever driven in a video game was on purpose. Frick you, the game is good though.
nah, it's when it's some kind of supernova where it's super bright and hurts you. you're also somehow compelled to look at the sun (you auto turn to look at it) and it "hurts" you.
but talking about Black person; I just sent four drives with lvl 0 signals (yeah, not great, but still), and all I got was "it's empty lul".
>you're also somehow compelled to look at the sun (you auto turn to look at it) and it "hurts" you.
For those not in the know, this is referred to as a cognitohazard, popular among the SCP universe which Nose takes a lot of inspiration from.
yeah, but it's still annoying. I thought those curtains could block the sun, but I was facing it even when it was blocked by the garage doors.
The sun doesn't actually hurt you, because there's no health mechanic (unless the experimental option is enabled), so all that happens is that you drop some flesh on the ground which actually helps a lot because eating those gives lots of food/sleep.
>The sun doesn't actually hurt you
It literally does. It, Rufus, and THE END are all coded to kill you and end your game regardless of what settings you have enabled.
>The sun doesn't actually hurt you

is correct, it's just that the effect of taking damage is a vignetting around the edges of the screen. Most players don't typically sustain enough damage quickly enough to tell when it's happening until it gets REAL bad. Try setting yourself on fire for a while and use a medkit, you'll notice the difference afterwards.
I'm not reading the rest of the thread because of spoilers
I downloaded it yesterday and played for a bit, am I supposed to start with the story mode? I tried two times so far and each time sirens start blaring in the morning on day two, the sun gets censored and I get killed if I go outside so i can't do the daily task because it needs the hashcodes
I also cannot enter the menu and autosave stops working, can't tell if something is fricked or if I am moronic, also I can't check the discord because its asking me for a phone number and I ain't gonna give it to them
"Bad Sun" event happens on the 24th of the month IRL, and very rarely randomly. You can't pause while certain events are happening. Try setting the date on your IRL computer to a different date. Good luck!
It can, but you can reset certain parameters when you load a save to make it more compatible with a new update. More of a mitigating measure than something bulletproof. Joel's save, for example, is all fricked up because it came from a much older version than what he's on now. It's still COMPATIBLE, but it's not ideal and he won't ever witness some events that had a chance of happening in the days he's already passed.
Also, be sure to stuff all of the items you care about in the mailbox outside next to the entrance; it'll preserve them through updates in the very likely chance you have to make your save work with a new version by resetting "Events and Objects."
It can if you don't reset objects and events. If you want to save anything from a previous update, putting any props you think are important inside the mailbox at the front door will transfer them to the next update safely.
Kerfus pathfinding is completely fricked. Gets stuck on the tiniest thing, even on the base of a dish. RIP only thing that made me play the game to avoid babysitting the stupid dishes.
For me, he only get's stuck near the base, so when that happens, I just go outside and throw him across the river. Everywhere else he just unstucks himself eventually.
That's what I saw in previous versions, but now it's stuck on the corner of the concrete base of a satellite dish. Something which never happened before. It got stuck 10 meters from base on a big rock with nothing around it, so I'm not even going to bother freeing that thing with how useless it is now. 500 points wasted.
what do i do with the recycling bins? i saw that notebook in the garage but i don't know what it all means. i keep putting junk in the bin and nothing happens.
The green bins are simple containers for stuff. If you want to ride the recycling train and get money, you need to buy an item container box and garbage bags. Fill the bags, put them in the container box and place it on the landing area for the drone, then call the drone from the box on the wall.
So the thing that tanks the game seems to be having the lights on. Is there any setting to play with for this? It isn't shadows. It's the overhead lights themselves and whatever they're doing that causes the performance hit.
Noticed that as well, but it also seems to get worse the longer you play. Restarting somehow makes it not completely shit the bed.
I just throw everything into the woodchipper via alt+r. This spawns some huge block which spits out a couple garbage drops which then go into garbage bags to export them.
Btw, is there any faster way to pick up things into inventory than holding E and pressing R twice? I swear there was something else in previous versions.
Recycling bins just vaporize stuff. To recycle you slap shit on the workbench and use the top of the bench. If you have enough shit some of it will merge into scrap item you can put into item box and send off with drone. Just drop all your shit on the bench, its ok to mix the types. It only works for the individual shit items, for shit heaps you use trashbags already explained
>Recycling bins just vaporize stuff
They just store it, actually. You can interact with the mouth of a recycling bin and it'll spit out the items you put in.

I just downloaded it and something is bothering the shit out of me. Is this game made in Source or GoldSrc? The Half-Life sound effects and the Garry's Mod UI are fricking killing me.
It's on Unreal but it uses a lot of shit from Half Life to make it feel like Source. I imagine this is because the dev wants to sell it (at a name your own price level) and Valve does not allow anything made on Source to be sold.
as i understand the dev originally wanted it to be on source but after finding out you cant sell anything made on source and valve basically does not give licenses away for it he decided on unreal

>Valve does not allow anything made on Source to be sold.
What the frick are you two smoking?
>Valve does not allow anything made on Source to be sold.
You literally do not know what you're talking about. For free games and mods it's completely free to use, no questions asked, so long as it's available on Steam. If you go commercial, it's $25k (Mainly to cover Havok licensing costs) plus a negotiated fee for Valve directly based on your project. Pic related is a Source Engine game.
But I did get points in previous versions. How else am I'm supposed to even get points to upgrade the computer so I can enhance the signal? I doubt the garbage route everyone takes right now is the intended gameplay way to get early money.
Blue is just sitting at the bottom of the river near one of the bridges in the west. Not too hard to find imo.
Green is the bullshit one of the three normal plushies since you have to run from the hole in the fence by Yankee all the way around past the perimeter entrance and up a mountain to find it. Rozital Pink Argemia is pretty easy to get but requires buying a drone and flying at a very specific set of coordinates to nudge it into existence. Nuclear Argemia, however, is fricking agonizing since it got moved all the way to the very edge of the map and is placed on a random cube in the sky that you need to glitch hover to. For comparison, it used to be buried on a hill somewhere and all you had to do was dig at a very specific spot.
>moved
there are THREE nuclear argemias. the yellow one is where it was. the orange one is seperate. the pink on is invisbly floating in place near the radio tower, and needs to be bopped with a prop to fall down.
You have to send in the exact data they ask for, not better. If he asks for level 1 drives, you have to give him level 1 drives.
Any leftover space in the box can be filled with whatever though.
Had a similar problem before. Sent in 4 lvl 0 drives and got a mail saying it was empty. Still got 20 bucks for the drives, I guess.
You get an email commenting on the content of your drives after you send them in, that's all the "the drives are empty" email is. It doesn't negatively affect you in any way, and you still get the daily task credit and full point value for the drives you sent in.
>You have to send in the exact data they ask for, not better.
i know. i just think it's funny.
what the frick is bao going to do with a lvl 0 drive that the information in a lvl 3 drive wouldn't have? prick is probably just messing around with us
No real hide and seek to be honest. One of the most common "threats" can be picked up and repeatedly slammed into a wall until it explodes into particles.
Got a power outage, but I can't interact with the transformers. The tutorial said something about "if you find one [transformer], make sure to reset it". Do I need to find the exact one that has a problem?
The daily usually wants you to go to the satellite server itself, get the daily hash from it, write it down and attach it to a box you send in.
there should be a button on the transformers and a red light attached to which one is borked at the terminal thing outside of your base there is also a random event that just turns off your power without any transformers turning off, you just have to flip all the switches back on inside
Found the actual generator/transformer by following the powerlines. I was looking at the thing right outside the base and was wondering why I couldn't do anything with it. Bad timing for a blackout, as it was midnight. I know about the event, but this time I simply ran out of cycles on the transformers.
Reminder for new players you can see the terminal history even on other ones, like back at base.
So IF you send the hashcodes but get told you missed one (probably due to a typo), you might still be able to see the hashcodes printed out at base and still send them away in time. Better than zooming back to the satellites.
Don't worry, anon. It took me a solid two or three minutes to find it as well because it blends in with the railing.

the first time i played i couldn't figure out the code so i just climbed up the big tower and jumped down to the top of the roof. i entered through the drone hole into the garage only to be disappointed that there was another passcode lock.
and then i just guessed it.
NTA but it's pretty annoying given the game tries to capture the styles of both Source and GoldSrc. It fails on an aesthetic level with how fricked up textures get.
>dev does literally everything in his power to make it feel like a source game >makes it in unreal
Why go through all this trouble? Havok doesn't need to be licensed anymore, it's free now.
Because every single game he's made so far is made in UE with blueprints, and damn if he's going to stop now. Also he just really likes source engine sounds.
In reality, the dev just really likes source sounds and aesthetics.
Because every single game he's made so far is made in UE with blueprints, and damn if he's going to stop now. Also he just really likes source engine sounds.
Is using UE blueprints to make games that much easier than just making the game in the engine you're emulating? Source isn't even hard to work in.
UE Blueprints make it so literally anyone can make a $2 on steam indie game. It requires so little knowledge or study compared to making it yourself. Go buy some premade assets and you too can make the shittiest horror game anyone has ever played.
>tfw i've been struggling with blueprints for years and still don't understand how to do the simplest shit in it
I thought my decade of experience with LBP2 circuits would help but frick no it doesn't.
One of the big issues with the game, yeah. You see things pip, but there's no good way to check out what's there. So they more exist as things you might stumble on, but only if nightly travels to get things up and running take you off to the weird path where they spawn in.
buy garbage bags and item box, right click piles with garbage bags in your hand
collect filled garbage bags into your inventory
put garbage bags in the item box
put item box at the drone pickup spot
call the drone
How do I recharge my flashlight? I have a battery and can equip it, but battery level is still 0.
drop the battery and then use it from the ground, it will refill the flashlight and put the empty battery in your inventory
Has anyone figured out what the occasional light flickering is supposed to be? An indicator of the transformers not working perfectly? A simple atmosphere design choice? A bug? Something actually gameplay relevant?

Uhhh how the frick do trashbags work?
hold trash bag or trash roll in hand, right click (or left i cant remember) on piles of trash to turn it into a trash bag. sell trash bags for money in the new item boxes or just put them into the recycle bin. trash bag rolls have 12 uses. the trash bags are really fragile, be careful.

Is it just demo still?
it just demo not done game has some to do but not done where you are scared while recording tapes and aliens arrive but you will get hit by them if you try to approach too casually beware the invisible ones they will frick you cat
THE END IS clean
frick it, why not? everyone should lock their kerfus outside the base and sleep just to see what it does.
I got the bad sun right after I skipped a night of sleep.
WHY ARE YOU LOCKED IN THE BATHROOM?
How much coffee and coffee bars have you consumed?
I wonder if Sleepy-Deeby still tries to catch you when an event like this happens.
Happened to me but turns out that you can eat your own bits to restore hunger and sleep sp just get hit a little bit and eat
Dr. Kel is a real fricking freak.
You talking to me?
for those of you about to be playing votv on the 24th: have fun.
thanks
Not reading the thread don't want to spoilers just asking.
How the frick do you clean the trash is there a dumpster somewhere? And there's a broom and a bucket how do I use it?
I wanna be in a comfy room not some squatter hobo abandoned facility
This too I would like to know
It's currently better to buy an item box and sell the trash, but there are 3 bins immediately to the right of the garage door.
Broom pushes loose physics objects around, bucket can be filled with water at the pool/river and you can use a wet sponge or mop to wipe grime off of walls and floors
Thanks for answering guys! I'll get right to it
step 1: buy and item box from the store
step 2: buy as many garbage bags as you can
step 3: with a garbage bag in your hand right click on the garbage. you need 1 bag per pile
step 4: put all the full garbage bags in the item box
step 5: put the item box on the drone platform and hit the call drone button
step 6: profit
The broom is for pushing junk props around, the mop is what you're looking for to clean walls. To use the mop's bucket, dunk it in your government mandaded minecraft 2x2 of water to refill it.
To get rid of trash, first put it in a trash bag by pressing right mouse with a garbage bag in your hand. If you don't want to sell it (for some reason), you can then put it in a recycling bin, 3 of which are located to the right of the garage. If you DO want to sell one, refer to

Do you not buy gas?
This shit is obnoxious as hell. My second day I figured I'd beeline for the bot after three servers went down when I was out fixing one. So I get it, turn the fricker on, and sicced it on the servers and it just fricked off out the front door, never to be seen again with no servers repaired in the process. A transformer blew on day 5, so I had to spend all damn day driving to the ass end of nowhere to unmapped locations to push buttons and fix it. It's fricking tedious.
yeah this is what killed it for me, having to run around and fix servers at the beginning is lame as frick
i think i have bad RNG too and i'm blind or something because i got to day 5 without seeing a single thing or having anything happen other than clattering of random props, which i find funny but ultimately the only spooky thing so far has just been ambience sound files
also frick that dream that forces you awake and then takes like 20 sleep from you making you go to sleep even longer to make up for it

Jesus frick they're ALL haunted??
I'm pretty sure, yeah. Having watched Joel and Spazmatic Banana play the game, I was curious as to what happened if I just left them there. Turns out they just walk off on their own at some point, leaving empty stands.
You're not just holding E and swinging it around, are you? Joel did this for a while. When your cursor is over the hammer, select "Hold".
can you actually break the supply boxes? i smashed one with a hammer for a full minute and nothing happened
Yeah it just takes a while
the crowbar is way faster
They just have a comically large amount of health.
using the crowbar, it takes a good 20 smacks to break one.
pick up the atv and smash them.
Ignore the single pair of breasts on this.

What are these 'cheats' that Nose is locking behind a $15 patreon tier?
I legitimately don't know what you're talking about, but I also don't interact with the Patreon or Discord at all. So I'll wait for someone who might know more to respond.
Sandbox spawn menu in any gamemode, true noclip in any gamemode, and a buncha debug buttons
Oh, and also all the achievement locked items are always unlocked too.
and a few debug "cheats" that may not work anymore.
So not a big deal, then. You can already do a lot in Sandbox as-is. Like pic related.

Why are trannies shilling this game so much?
Did some trans-positive streamer stream it or something?
One of the modelers is a gay while the lead dev shuts down all homosexualry it's peripherals try to insert besides his own furfetish race. Unfortunately trannies will always try to pretend any mention of hermaphroditism actually means them now
Honestly, based dev. I hope he can keep it up and nothing slips through the cracks.
When he does allow something to slip through, he still makes sure to censor it to all hell, so overall he's pretty based.
For example, the uncompressed version of the server's texture references Mal0, or scp-1471. It's INCREDIBLY pixelated ingame, to the point of illegibility.
Uncompressed version for comparison
I honestly wouldn't mind Mal0 being in the game in some way if done well, but that probably isn't a direction he wants to go in. Not to mention the licensing issues and the fact we have something in the game sort of like that already, the Wendigo.
>licensing issues
Bold of you to assume he thinks about licensing.
He started playing CoTL lately, and just decided "Frick it I wanna add an easter egg involving this guy"
Sure, but it's also FREE at the moment. Problems could arise as soon as he decides to put a mandatory price on it.
he asked first.
He asked afterwards, but at least he still asked.
Also, lambert can actually assist the player, as he emits a slow healing beam.
I may be down three servers but I refuse to lose to the sun.
Either the physics are fricking going nuts or something is exploding near me. It's the very first night. Nothing is on radar.
Posting this screenshot I made of this madman in a previous thread.
How the frick do you trigger encounters? I'm 11 days in and I've seen nothing, even gone to some of the flashing dots on the radar, and didn't find squat. Is there something I need to do?
I've found that events tend to happen earlier the sooner you can refine level three signals. Might be a coincidence, though. I did notice too that setting the game to Hard triggered less events as well, probably due to the faster passage of time not being completely tuned and accounted for since it's a WIP.
10 days is where I'd say things roughly "start", I can't remember when the picnic disappears or even appears, but it sorta feels like every 10 days things get more intense for lack of a better word.
I'm not looking forward to playing through again after doing 31 days two major updates ago and then 16 the one before the trash update.

Well ascoose me for helping someone look at alien poon.
You didn't tell me it was a horror game. On the day 2(or 3) some air sirens went on and when I went outside to look for something I started dropping gibs while camera was panning to the forest and there was a black censored square somewhere, I stood like that for 15 secs and got gibbed and bam Game Over. Wtf was that?
The forest is dead, my download speed is in shambles, the transformers are about to give out, and I failed the report, but at least I got a cheevo that does nothing to commemorate the occasion.
I hope the game will continue to add stuff like interesting channels, rather than get a series of updates with ebin events for Joel to trigger and autsitically screech at.
Seeing how far the game came from its first version its really coming together as a real game now and its got so much potential. Nose has a great sense for how you can frick with players. I just hope it wont all be so... overt I guess?
Subtle spooks are hard and he's been doing great with those.
That said, do you guys have anything like a wishlist of stuff he'd add? I think maybe a little customization to your base would be nice, changing the walls or floor color/texture maybe
Was literally typing out a similar post. Anyway:
More "smaller" events. Like the stuff that happens with the trees and door that spawns outside. Small things like that that are meant to intentionally unsettle the player's preconceived notions and make them question if what they just saw or heard was real, and if it was, was it a bug or a feature. A couple hundred of these micro-events would go a long way to increase tension in the player and make them uncomfortable and feel unsafe.
I think hes done most of the easy tricks in that regard already, triggering the door lock's sfx, footsteps around the base etc. But im sure its possible to think of more stuff like that.
One aspect Ive liked about VoTV is that it isnt aliens per se that are spooky and messing with you, theres the potential for supernatural occurances in general and itd be hard to tell the apart from alien frickery.
Ive thought about trying to use local folklore like the wendigo already in the game (which is an american thing, not swiss) but I think most of it wouldnt lend itself well to a game like this. a lot of that stuff is if you do or see X you will mysteriously die soon after.
I always thought signal sim was genius for making you see through the window over the edge of your console at all times, I think you could probably do a lot with that.
It's more of meme DUDE WEED LMAO shit, but I remember hearing some gay on youtube talking about an idea of adding catnip into the game and have it be essentially censored weed for the player, but because it's catnip - Arirals react to it akin to shrimp and try to eat it too.
>Sit in the base, microwaving cat zaza, for science
>Ariral comes in and ragdolls you
>Right as you hit the floor the invisible frick grabs the catnip and eats the whole bag in one go
>It's invisibility silhouette ragdolls and hits the fricking table immediately
It could also be a good way to fight with ariral pranks, now that i think of it.

>all the new players in this thread
Got a sick wallpaper out of it
Time and time again, the Sun has befouled the e/v/eryman in more ways than one.
I think someone should go up to it at night while it’s sleeping and just fricking dome it. Straight up bust a cap in its head. Fricking stupid ball of plasma, who does it think it is?
I hit save after getting the frequency right and everything. The planet is in clear view. Why isn't it moving to the other computer? Also what boxes does the drone accept? I have a 2.x2x and it doesn't want to come.
Wait, this game is Unreal Engine?
Why did he waste 90% of the time emulating Source engine? Why not use Source?
Because every single game he's made so far is made in UE with blueprints, and damn if he's going to stop now. Also he just really likes source engine sounds.
yes please keep talking about the sun, overt and in your face stuff to ruin the surprise for new players
This is your fault, though? If there's a game I'm interested in, or haven't gotten around to playing yet, I'll avoid those threads. Also, we're having a discussion about a game that's still in development. There's GOING to be spoilers. Plus you could have done what
did. He asked a question, clearly didn't want anything spoiled, DIDN'T get spoiled, and presumably went about playing the game. He's probably not even in this thread right now.
I know about the event, I just dont like people fricking spamming about it. its easy to just run into it by accident when people do.
Well, it's also the 24th, so people are going to talk more about it today.
But I do see your point, and I agree. These threads are almost turning into a general at this point, not that I think we need one. Maybe we can have a boilerplate warning at the start of each thread regarding spoilers, and how knowing too much about the game before playing it can harm your first time experience more than most games? After all, if someone new knows a lot about the events that happen in the game, they might view actually playing to be a tedious way to see the events play out themselves. This is especially not ideal considering VotV's gameplay loop in particular.
Maybe we can be more vague and subtle in the beginning post(s) to encourage anons who come across these threads to just try the (FREE) game and report back if they have any questions. As an example, I always thought it was interesting how everyone was "in" on keeping the big spoiler quests in Warframe unspoiled out of respect for new players; being intentionally vague about it, not using certain gameplay elements around new players, etc.
Warframe homosexuals use that to trap newbies into playing their shit game. I don't want people to play VotV.
>warfr***

Anon, think about it; if we refuse to divulge info to every tourist that visits these threads beyond those who genuinely want to play the game, you'll get your wish. Especially since most on Ganker are too impatient to want to just explore games on their own, and want to be told what games they should play.
you should have stayed on shitcord with your lady friends then
I still refer to the big guy as our knight in anperfysium armor, so I'm definitely all for keeping things vague.

What box do I use for garbage bags?

i swear to god with each update base gets dirtier and dirtier
You got downtime.
Grab a sponge and get cleaning.
What does copying do to a file?
I noticed the copy has an asterisk and shows yellow on a drive.
I have no processor power but nabbed a signal from a very obvious [object] and want to process it further later.
Save the signal for later. The copying function is to process the signal when you have the correct processing power to do so, since you cannot sell drives that have copied data (yellow light).
However, you can sell an upgraded version of a copied signal, but only once.
Wait, so I can sell two versions of the same signal?
The original and a single upgraded copy (no matter what level)?
You can upgrade a saved signal, but then that one won't be sellable again.
For example, if you sold a level 0 signal, copied it, upgraded it to level 1, sold that, and then repeated the process to get another fresh upgraded copy, you would make money off the first version, but not the second.
you can copy a signal 3 times, and upgrade each copy to a further level than the last, and sell them along with the original. but you can only do that once per lvl 0 signal.
Is it more worthwhile to keep the original of an obvious anomaly to sell the processed version when I can, or is saving just so you don't need to miss out?
What if i copy a lvl 0 signal i already processed and sold, then process it again, then send it again because the light is now green?
First a couple of notes. Game is WIP, so this can change, bear in mind:
>Your computer power has a max level of 3, you have to scroll down on Upgrades on the computer to see it
>When you upgrade it, Dr. Bao's will request more drives, and of higher refinement
>There is a module for Automatic Signal Processing. If you want the most money, I recommend you DON'T get it at first since you can send off drives of each level; level 0, level 1, level 2, and level 3. You can manually set the module to which level you want it to process to, but it's best to just not have it at all if your focus is getting the most money.
>At max upgrades for everything, it will always take longer to process a single signal from level 0 to level 3 than it will to just download a new signal. YMMV depending on your current upgrades, of course.
>Drives that have a yellow light (copied data) cannot be sold
>Find signal
>Download signal
>Save signal to computer (easy to forget, best to get in the habit early)
>Listen to signal
>Save signal to drive
>Set drive aside for sending off to Dr. Bao
>Copy signal you just saved to a new drive
>Bring that drive over to the Processing station
>Begin processing (filtering)
>While that drive is being processed, find a new signal
>Begin downloading it
> A) When the signal is done processing, bring it over to the Playing station and save it to the computer
> B) Listen to it too if you like
> C) Save signal to drive
> D) Set that drive aside for sending off to Dr. Bao
> E) Get a new drive and copy the signal you just saved
> F) Process that signal as well
>Repeat steps A through F until you have a level 3 signal, or whatever you computer level currently allows
>Profit
In between all of this, you can download multiple signals and build a backlog. This is fine in the beginning, but I find it to be easier to just let the downloaded signal wait on the Downloading station after a certain point.
Good luck, Dr. Kel.

Frick. I really miss how easy it was to see and hear things in the distance and be able to absolutely cane my quad through the dead forest.
>mfw rifle
Is it me or do MREs not restore any hunger any more?
Your character "gets sick of" MREs and they don't do anything for a while. I have no idea how long it lasts or how many other things you have to eat for it to go away.
So I just burned through all my MREs trying to survive Bad Sun day and wasted them. Nice. Wish the game told you about this shit.
It'll be refined in the next updates.
I love how every update makes the game less playable.
how does it do that? you start off with a variety of foods and you get easy access to points with the ability to sell garbage now
They even give you ~15 trash bags for free, under the desk with the batteries on it.
The thing that made me quit before was the core loop being incompatible with the majority of the content in the actual game. Focusing on processing signals means you miss out on literally everything. You can't go check things out in the woods because you need to focus on processing signals. On top of that, you need a map. And the map takes a few days to earn and you're foregoing upgrades. And if you're foregoing the upgrades for other shit, everything takes longer. So you need to adhere to the loop. But then you miss everything happening outside. And this is just another layer on that cake. More busywork. More to worry about. Less fluidity to the flow that further obstructs the exploration and intrigue side of the game. The few times spooky shit happened on my last attempt to play through, I totally missed it because of the task-oriented tunnel vision required to keep the flow moving.
you go out and explore/clean while the signal is processing bro, it takes a while and you can just leave if it isnt raining
If you go out, that costs resources that cost credits, and now it's a juggling act to manage those basic resources.
the only thing it really costs to explore is fuel, which you have a bunch of a the start
>no you see i HAVE to watch two slowly filling percentages on the console get to 100
Dumbass
No. I'm running out in the middle of the night to do maintenance. Straight line to here, straight line to there. If I see something, I might check it out, but for events that happen I'm never going out there to see them. It's pointless because it'll be over before I figure out where whatever is happening is happening.
The ATV isn't my favorite thing in the world, and unless forced I tend to gun it.
>Start signal
>Walk to the server (a few minutes)
>Fix it (a few seconds)
>Return (A few minutes)
>Signal is still processing
Wow, so important
Sorry. I'm just not able to sink back into the core loop as an all-consuming focus anymore. It just becomes annoying, and that's the game. The game continues until you burn out, and then despite yourself the allure of the game is gone forever I guess.
you can control the ATV pretty well just by using the breaks whenever you feel like you're going to veer off.
You can disable the penalties from the daily mission if that's what you're bothered about.
Otherwise I don't see why you complain that you "have to" process signals. Nobody is forcing you, other than your own autism.
Tutorial literally does. Specifically stating you get sick of junk food faster.
>t. only on day 5
New mechanic where food restores less if you eat it way too often.
Either have several different foods or wait until the penalty cools down
And even then, MREs still have a use when your stomach decides it doesn't like them anymore. You can deconstruct them into fishing bait at the workbench
I'm gonna implement this in my game, useful for making sure you can't spam one single food

It takes ~7 in-game days without maintenance for one to break.

>3k$ a month while living in Kazakhstan
Gamedev is most likely his full time job since he doesn't need a regular one. For example, me and my family live in Russia, we make ~1000$ per month, and are considered quite well off.
Sure, but remember to add tax and all that shit and no sick bonuses/vacation, but that depends on the country of course
That's still more than my entire family combined.
Russia takes a big cut off patreon monies, I imagine kazazkhstan. The money you get from a normal job also has part of it effectively withheld for your pension etc.
3k is likely still a very good income, but he will not have those 3k on hand when he cashes in on his patreon. I think he'd lose at least a third.
>Russia takes a big cut off patreon monies, I imagine kazazkhstan
This is not how it works for such countries tho. Patreon doesn't deal with their taxes. You get full money. It's your choice to pay or not pay taxes. You need to do it manually. Generally majority of freelancers didn't pay any taxes at all up until now (4% if under $25k). Banks don't really care about "small money". Tax rates for self-employed are the lowest one and you don't pay for pension unless you want it. Just saying.
>Tax rates for self-employed are the lowest one and you don't pay for pension unless you want it
I think Russia is a bit of a backwards shithole but this is genuinely something they hold over the U.S.
I'm one fricking guy who works freelance with a net-zero presence on the state's infrastructure beyond being alive which has its own separate tax costs I already have to pay, why do I have to pay more in taxes than the israeliteBlack folk who buy up half the land and use up all the fricking electricity, water, and bandwidth they can get their grubby mitts on while contributing nothing to society around them?

The Sun comes, then it goes, then it doesn't happen again on the 24th of the month anymore once you have the achievement I think
It certainly sucks for an early day.
What is the emf detec? I just found it using the metal detector
Used to detect anomalous energy, whether alien or supernatural. The wendigo skulls, for example, give a very high reading. It's best to use it as you have been; using the metal detector first. Does not give readings on Arirals.

Kel has to be either jacked or supernatural to be breaking crates open with a rock and lifting an atv above his head out of a river without even slowing down.

smartest move is to hit multiple boxes at the same time. the ones in the bedroom are close enough to hit three at once while just flailing your mouse around.
Looks almost like something blendo games would make. Will check it out.
post your battlestations
is that a custom model of goat lady?
How does that work?
There is an in-game 3D printer. If you put a .obj 3D model and a .png texture of the same name into "VotVAssetsmeshesprinter", you can print it. The in-game help menu has more info on that.
You can get custom pics?
That's pretty cool, love it when games let you do that
custom: paintings, flags, rugs, wall posters, songs for the radio, videos for the tv, and even 3d objects you cant print in-game with a 3d printer.
i reinstalled the game and for some reason i can't get past the tutorial now. if i go into the tutorial and exit it doesn't unlock the other modes, same thing if i actually play through the whole level.

I like how one Ariral has a AK
what the frick happened wasn't this game spooky, whats with all the titty cats now?
post more
You experience a bunch of the Ariral's property in the game, but the only physical contact is you getting smacked halfway to albequerque by an invisible one.
The titty cats are arirals, one of the creator's pet races. They are, very bluntly, mary sues that stand in as high tech alien pranksters. In the game their presence is mostly felt through references and harassing the player. Outside of the game, you have standard Discord furry coomer crap that creeps in from time to time. There are a few entries for them on R34 that give a hint as to how that goes.
Nose is actually pretty modest with the NSFW part of them, keeping it entirely contained to the designated channels. I dare not enter or even dignify the roleplay channel, so I have it hidden.
>marysue race
figures
Yep. And though it may come up as a subject of argument, their design document basically spells out mary sue. Super-strong, super-smart, super-capable, immune to basically everything both physically and as a byproduct of their technology which renders them functionally invincible where they could high-dive into a star and come out the other side intact.
Not immune to the epic end signal
that only applies to the talls
the rest of their race is a space india/china polluted shithole
The social dynamics of the greater ariral race are a mess.
Just had a bad sun event during the day now something makes my lights flicker really rarely during night, but also won't let me sleep. Who's playing tricks on me? Can't see a radar blip and there's nothing near base.
Can you send a lvl 0 signal (don't have any upgrades yet), receive points, upgrade the signal from storage and receive points again?
Is there a mop that spawns in base? When I look online, I don't see anything labeled mop.
Or a sponge? Plz halp
there's a sponge in the shower that works.
you have to buy the mop, mop, mop bucket and broom don't have descriptions
The dev's game design is very well done. Leads me to believe the atv being the worst fricking thing I've ever driven in a video game was on purpose. Frick you, the game is good though.
It was almost certainly on purpose.
This game man, I swear.

Black person sun
Wait it out
i don't wanna fail my very first task...
Dr Bao can wait while the world is ending.
Is the Black person sun the one where everything becomes dark slowly and slowly and you can hear faint noises?
no, it's the one where the sun is covered by a black box and everything is orange and hurts your eyes
No, that's usually referred to as The Fog.
nah, it's when it's some kind of supernova where it's super bright and hurts you. you're also somehow compelled to look at the sun (you auto turn to look at it) and it "hurts" you.
but talking about Black person; I just sent four drives with lvl 0 signals (yeah, not great, but still), and all I got was "it's empty lul".
>you're also somehow compelled to look at the sun (you auto turn to look at it) and it "hurts" you.
For those not in the know, this is referred to as a cognitohazard, popular among the SCP universe which Nose takes a lot of inspiration from.
i just noticed the sun isn't damaging me anymore as it's setting, does that mean it's safe?
yeah, but it's still annoying. I thought those curtains could block the sun, but I was facing it even when it was blocked by the garage doors.
The sun doesn't actually hurt you, because there's no health mechanic (unless the experimental option is enabled), so all that happens is that you drop some flesh on the ground which actually helps a lot because eating those gives lots of food/sleep.
>The sun doesn't actually hurt you
It literally does. It, Rufus, and THE END are all coded to kill you and end your game regardless of what settings you have enabled.
>The sun doesn't actually hurt you
is correct, it's just that the effect of taking damage is a vignetting around the edges of the screen. Most players don't typically sustain enough damage quickly enough to tell when it's happening until it gets REAL bad. Try setting yourself on fire for a while and use a medkit, you'll notice the difference afterwards.
The Swede is making me want to play the game
I'm not reading the rest of the thread because of spoilers
I downloaded it yesterday and played for a bit, am I supposed to start with the story mode? I tried two times so far and each time sirens start blaring in the morning on day two, the sun gets censored and I get killed if I go outside so i can't do the daily task because it needs the hashcodes
I also cannot enter the menu and autosave stops working, can't tell if something is fricked or if I am moronic, also I can't check the discord because its asking me for a phone number and I ain't gonna give it to them
"Bad Sun" event happens on the 24th of the month IRL, and very rarely randomly. You can't pause while certain events are happening. Try setting the date on your IRL computer to a different date. Good luck!
so I just picked the worst day to start playing the game, kek
Thanks anons
Story mode is correct. 24th of every month IRL is bad sun day.
Either wait out a single day ingame or change your computer's calendar.
nta but does the story mode get fricked if you update?
I heard updating fricks up progress
It can, but you can reset certain parameters when you load a save to make it more compatible with a new update. More of a mitigating measure than something bulletproof. Joel's save, for example, is all fricked up because it came from a much older version than what he's on now. It's still COMPATIBLE, but it's not ideal and he won't ever witness some events that had a chance of happening in the days he's already passed.
Also, be sure to stuff all of the items you care about in the mailbox outside next to the entrance; it'll preserve them through updates in the very likely chance you have to make your save work with a new version by resetting "Events and Objects."
Is there a limit to the mailbox?
>Is there a limit to the mailbox?
Of 10,000. Good luck filling it outside of Sandbox.
It can if you don't reset objects and events. If you want to save anything from a previous update, putting any props you think are important inside the mailbox at the front door will transfer them to the next update safely.

what a meme
Is only eating mushrooms still possible? I can't find them around the base anymore, and if there's one, it's pretty rare.
Kerfus pathfinding is completely fricked. Gets stuck on the tiniest thing, even on the base of a dish. RIP only thing that made me play the game to avoid babysitting the stupid dishes.
For me, he only get's stuck near the base, so when that happens, I just go outside and throw him across the river. Everywhere else he just unstucks himself eventually.
That's what I saw in previous versions, but now it's stuck on the corner of the concrete base of a satellite dish. Something which never happened before. It got stuck 10 meters from base on a big rock with nothing around it, so I'm not even going to bother freeing that thing with how useless it is now. 500 points wasted.
Cry about your funds no more, as Kerfur omega will have actual entity based pathfinding instead of stupid, broken, physics based pathfinding
Alright, wake me up when it's ingame. I can't stand running around fixing dishes.
I like how kerfus looks now though 🙁
It's an upgrade, so you can still choose to have your physics based goober roam the forest on its little ball wheel.

I want to read thread but spoilers. Half the fun is seeing it yourself.
what upgrades should I prioritize with my trash cash
Server stability is your #1 priority, as the majority of a day's work can be easily interrupted by a lot of servers breaking from processing signals.
Computer levels mean you can put out two signals at once via downloading and processing at the same time. Helps with workflow.

Outside of Duende, they're not added yet.
what do i do with the recycling bins? i saw that notebook in the garage but i don't know what it all means. i keep putting junk in the bin and nothing happens.
The green bins are simple containers for stuff. If you want to ride the recycling train and get money, you need to buy an item container box and garbage bags. Fill the bags, put them in the container box and place it on the landing area for the drone, then call the drone from the box on the wall.
Noticed that as well, but it also seems to get worse the longer you play. Restarting somehow makes it not completely shit the bed.
so what do i do with the rest of the junk?
you can sell everything
I just throw everything into the woodchipper via alt+r. This spawns some huge block which spits out a couple garbage drops which then go into garbage bags to export them.
Btw, is there any faster way to pick up things into inventory than holding E and pressing R twice? I swear there was something else in previous versions.
i just do mousewheel-up and E
You can use the collect option by pressing 3 and then E when looking at a prop.
e+alt
Recycling bins just vaporize stuff. To recycle you slap shit on the workbench and use the top of the bench. If you have enough shit some of it will merge into scrap item you can put into item box and send off with drone. Just drop all your shit on the bench, its ok to mix the types. It only works for the individual shit items, for shit heaps you use trashbags already explained
Bins don't vaporize. If you click the upper part it'll chuck everything out FIFO.
>Recycling bins just vaporize stuff
They just store it, actually. You can interact with the mouth of a recycling bin and it'll spit out the items you put in.
How do you get on the other side of the starting gate?
So the thing that tanks the game seems to be having the lights on. Is there any setting to play with for this? It isn't shadows. It's the overhead lights themselves and whatever they're doing that causes the performance hit.
So there's no way to open the double doors in the bunker after you break the boards, right?
the dev is adding a new mechanic to the game in the form of a nuclear reactor
so im guessing its gonna be behind those doors in the bunker
I just downloaded it and something is bothering the shit out of me. Is this game made in Source or GoldSrc? The Half-Life sound effects and the Garry's Mod UI are fricking killing me.
neither, it's unreal
Wait. This is Unreal Engine? I thought it was Unity.
It's Unreal Engine, but with source engine sounds and textures made to look "bad". The credits list this.
how does the dev get away with selling something with half life assets? a lawyer would call a name-your-own-price option implied sale
It would cost more to sue him than they'd get out of a licensing deal.
It's on Unreal but it uses a lot of shit from Half Life to make it feel like Source. I imagine this is because the dev wants to sell it (at a name your own price level) and Valve does not allow anything made on Source to be sold.
as i understand the dev originally wanted it to be on source but after finding out you cant sell anything made on source and valve basically does not give licenses away for it he decided on unreal
>Valve does not allow anything made on Source to be sold.
What the frick are you two smoking?
>Valve does not allow anything made on Source to be sold.
You literally do not know what you're talking about. For free games and mods it's completely free to use, no questions asked, so long as it's available on Steam. If you go commercial, it's $25k (Mainly to cover Havok licensing costs) plus a negotiated fee for Valve directly based on your project. Pic related is a Source Engine game.
>Valve does not allow anything made on Source to be sold.
rip gmod. can't believe it's gone, bros
neither, its unreal and using sound effects from source because idfk
>send in a box full of lvl 3 drives with the 2 hashes
>"theres not enough drives and data for us"
frick bao. all my homies hate bao.
Had a similar problem before. Sent in 4 lvl 0 drives and got a mail saying it was empty. Still got 20 bucks for the drives, I guess.
I think they say this when the signal you scan is of empty space, or with level 0 drives because the sound is nothing but white noise.
But I did get points in previous versions. How else am I'm supposed to even get points to upgrade the computer so I can enhance the signal? I doubt the garbage route everyone takes right now is the intended gameplay way to get early money.
i filled the box to the brim with fully processed drives.
why don't you unprocess the drives if they're too good for you, huh, bao?
>bao asks for two level 0s and a level 1
>uhhhh i wish it were clearer
I'm bailing on these frickers asap.
how the frick do people find all the plushies? arent like half of them outside of the map?
i only ever found the default one in the hole
Blue is just sitting at the bottom of the river near one of the bridges in the west. Not too hard to find imo.
Green is the bullshit one of the three normal plushies since you have to run from the hole in the fence by Yankee all the way around past the perimeter entrance and up a mountain to find it.
Rozital Pink Argemia is pretty easy to get but requires buying a drone and flying at a very specific set of coordinates to nudge it into existence.
Nuclear Argemia, however, is fricking agonizing since it got moved all the way to the very edge of the map and is placed on a random cube in the sky that you need to glitch hover to. For comparison, it used to be buried on a hill somewhere and all you had to do was dig at a very specific spot.
>hole in the fence
ive just been using the grappling hook to pull myself over the invisible walls
>moved
there are THREE nuclear argemias. the yellow one is where it was. the orange one is seperate. the pink on is invisbly floating in place near the radio tower, and needs to be bopped with a prop to fall down.
theres no way people are finding some of these normally
vid of the green one if anyone else wants it
i found the green by accident, believe it or not
You have to send in the exact data they ask for, not better. If he asks for level 1 drives, you have to give him level 1 drives.
Any leftover space in the box can be filled with whatever though.
You get an email commenting on the content of your drives after you send them in, that's all the "the drives are empty" email is. It doesn't negatively affect you in any way, and you still get the daily task credit and full point value for the drives you sent in.
>You have to send in the exact data they ask for, not better.
i know. i just think it's funny.
what the frick is bao going to do with a lvl 0 drive that the information in a lvl 3 drive wouldn't have? prick is probably just messing around with us
So is this another hide and seek horror game with a minigame that the aforementioned hide and seek makes super fricking annoying to accomplish?
>So is this another hide and seek horror game
no, it's a job simulator with a sandbox element
no
nope it's an objective: kill game
No, it's just a signal-finding and satellite-fixing game. There's no significant horror elements outside of the atmosphere and a few random events
No real hide and seek to be honest. One of the most common "threats" can be picked up and repeatedly slammed into a wall until it explodes into particles.
That is fricking hilarious. I wish more horror games involved panicking and beating the ever living shit out of enemies until they died.
Huh? What would that be? The duende aren't that common.
I'm talking about everyone's favorite wooden homies.
newbie here, trying to buy items and all it says is max cart(its empty)
you trying to buy an item box?
they take up all the space on the drone so your cart can only contain the item box and nothing else
there is absolutely nothing in my cart and I cant add anything, I was previously trying to buy an item box.
dunno then

Enjoy your mannequins anon
What's the 1/7 Day toggle on the save menu for
You can start a new save at a specific day, up to the highest day you've been to.
what the hell is going on
Nothing. Everything is fine. Go outside now.
THESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHE
Nose really doesn't want you to harm even the non-canon facsimiles of Arirals. Pathetic.
Anyone got the list of hotkeys?
what's the unmoving blip by victor, i can't find shit out here
Half expected my camera to fry

Why are they Nuclear? Are they wild?
I'd say sitting on a dev cube in the sky is pretty wild.
They're federal agents.
Bros where the FRICK am I?
You unironically fell into the backrooms. Even worse, the backrooms are currently unfinished as far as I know.
I certainly didn't find anything too interesting down there. Just corridors and sounds.
Creepy stuff though.
The toilet ghost can spawn down there
It's still just a jumpscare though it doesn't do anything.
Pretty much no work has been done on it from the dev streams I've watched, so it's safe to say that nose considers the segment finished.
What do they mean by "check satellite servers"? I drove over to them but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Got a power outage, but I can't interact with the transformers. The tutorial said something about "if you find one [transformer], make sure to reset it". Do I need to find the exact one that has a problem?
The daily usually wants you to go to the satellite server itself, get the daily hash from it, write it down and attach it to a box you send in.
there should be a button on the transformers and a red light attached to which one is borked at the terminal thing outside of your base
there is also a random event that just turns off your power without any transformers turning off, you just have to flip all the switches back on inside
Found the actual generator/transformer by following the powerlines. I was looking at the thing right outside the base and was wondering why I couldn't do anything with it. Bad timing for a blackout, as it was midnight.
I know about the event, but this time I simply ran out of cycles on the transformers.
You go to the dish and enter sv.hash into the terminal, then copy that down on a notepad with the proper format.
Reminder for new players you can see the terminal history even on other ones, like back at base.
So IF you send the hashcodes but get told you missed one (probably due to a typo), you might still be able to see the hashcodes printed out at base and still send them away in time. Better than zooming back to the satellites.
Isn't this that old abandoned game or is it a new take on the concept?
You're thinking of Signal Simulator. Yes, this is a newer game inspired by it with active updates.
I'm as moronic as a valve playtester, where do you find the code to enter the base?
should be on a piece of paper next to the door
Can you uncrumple paper or something?
no. it should be a usable page
it's 1111
Holy frick how did I not see that
Don't worry, anon. It took me a solid two or three minutes to find it as well because it blends in with the railing.
the first time i played i couldn't figure out the code so i just climbed up the big tower and jumped down to the top of the roof. i entered through the drone hole into the garage only to be disappointed that there was another passcode lock.
and then i just guessed it.
>that pause before the last "1"
still funny 10 years later

It's over
>different levels of pixilation for all materials
This shit is so annoying to look at
Gotta be tismd to fixate on that
NTA but it's pretty annoying given the game tries to capture the styles of both Source and GoldSrc. It fails on an aesthetic level with how fricked up textures get.
The textures are all probably the same resolution stretched over different sized objects.
I love watching Joel play this, but I feel like he's made negative progress in the dozens of hours he has played.
It's a negative feedback loop that's bad for the game overall.
Which way, White man?

>dev does literally everything in his power to make it feel like a source game
>makes it in unreal
Why go through all this trouble? Havok doesn't need to be licensed anymore, it's free now.

In reality, the dev just really likes source sounds and aesthetics.
Is using UE blueprints to make games that much easier than just making the game in the engine you're emulating? Source isn't even hard to work in.
Blueprints are essentially AAA scratch, so yes.
UE Blueprints make it so literally anyone can make a $2 on steam indie game. It requires so little knowledge or study compared to making it yourself. Go buy some premade assets and you too can make the shittiest horror game anyone has ever played.
>tfw i've been struggling with blueprints for years and still don't understand how to do the simplest shit in it
I thought my decade of experience with LBP2 circuits would help but frick no it doesn't.
just learn how to code. blueprints only make it easier if you don't want to figure out programming syntax.
otherwise the logic is basically the same.
Source is 20 years out of date, absurdly janky, and it's held together with duct tape. Unreal is the current standard.
>Always going out to the red dots on the radar
>nothing is ever there
feelsbadman
maybe it's in the sky
are you reading your map correctly? the radar is flipped
One of the big issues with the game, yeah. You see things pip, but there's no good way to check out what's there. So they more exist as things you might stumble on, but only if nightly travels to get things up and running take you off to the weird path where they spawn in.
Its the trees

i've been made a fool of, havent i
nope, do more squats or use the hammer
There's a hammer on the workbench in the garage. Hold it.
you won't impress catgirls by being a hammercuck
oh neat, I know that episode of Doctor Who
is it just a still frame, a looped sequence, or can you watch the whole ep?
You can import whatever .mp4 files you want to watch on the TV, and whatever .mp3s you want to listen to on the radio.
bitchin'
How do I feed the ATV? It wont drink it's gas.
hit the front of it with a gas can
or just get the solar upgrade
or let the arirals take it for a joyride. they supercharge its power
how the FRICK do i clean this raggedy ass base? I cant figure out recycling
Just sell your garbage anon
buy garbage bags and item box, right click piles with garbage bags in your hand
collect filled garbage bags into your inventory
put garbage bags in the item box
put item box at the drone pickup spot
call the drone
drop the battery and then use it from the ground, it will refill the flashlight and put the empty battery in your inventory
How do I recharge my flashlight? I have a battery and can equip it, but battery level is still 0.
Ah, nevermind. Had to drop it and use it from the ground. Would've thought using it from inventory would work as well.
this is so you can lose the battery trying to do it outside in the dark
Figured that much. Clunky UI can't explain every decision and this smelled like an intentional choice.
The tutorial needs to be better or the average anon is moronic.
with the powers of observation i realized all on my own that the numbers were making other numbers move
Why did the email say there was nothing on the drive when there was. The light was green and everything.
It's a bug when you send in L0 signals. Ignore it.
Has anyone figured out what the occasional light flickering is supposed to be? An indicator of the transformers not working perfectly? A simple atmosphere design choice? A bug? Something actually gameplay relevant?
WHO fricked with my cups
Look outside.
DO NOT MICROWAVE PIZZA
FRICK YOU I JUST DID IT WITH MY LEFTOVER TOPPERS FROM YESTERDAY
