Confusing but interesting game./ Demo
I'd love for it to be more straightforward and have a better tutorial of how to use a lot of the machines. Maybe a step by step guide for some of us. I'd really prefer a pickaxe and a pickhammer but I understand its magic and science game.

I was confused on where to find the Ghostshroom caps so i can make paper. I'd love to just scythe grass and make fiber to paper. I enjoy the map, its helpful I just prefer more of a guide. I had to watch someone else's game to figure out what I'm doing and that is frustrating.

I also had no clue i needed to find essence first. A step by step tutorial would be great since it is a lot of information to take in. And the text that comes up with information goes away too fast. I am not a fast reader and if you don't read it, the text is just gone. I do enjoy this game and I hope you can implement some of these suggestions to make the game more fun and understanding for some of us less Science-y people.

I also think I accidentally soft blocked the demo. I just realized I don't have another Ghostshroom cap. There was only one in the lab and it has dissapeared so I can't make paper. Kinda disappointing I can't finish the demo and I am not starting over. I spent all day on this game, it is now night time. Hopefully you can add more ghostshrooms. Or maybe not have it where you have to put in a specific outline for the paper.

Hello there!

Thank you for your feedback. You shouldn't be soflocked. To create paper you need to use Polypore Caps and Granite.

As a hint - you also need to take into consideration not only the shape of the essences BUT also the colors!

Hope it helps!

I understand the colors but the shape is hard.

NonaAbraxafor, made by Klenixide + Lavernium (leather cap + ghost shroom essences) fit the shape/color requirement for solvent, but it doesn't seem to work for me

It's on us. It seems that the colour's we've used are a bit too similar to each other. We're gonna fix it in the full game. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi I had the same problem and maybe I can help you. For weathering and felling there is no shape you just need two essences whith the needed count and colour. For example felling you need one essence which conains 4 times crisoms and one with 4 times jade no matter the shape. I had two possible outcome, both labeld as weathering for granite.

Hope it help.

i took the weird blobs/pictures for weathering and felling as an actual shape and could not, for the life of me, figure out how to make those shapes >_< just finished through the demo, and i don't believe the tutorial explained that
