In this thread you can ask YYZ some questions! 🙂

[pinback]

Are you from Toronto, or just big Rush fans?

[FrodoUK]

Steam Deck compatible?

[夜羽]

cheat codes for fun?

[Pluto Cat]

I'm only about 4 hours in atm.

1. I see a lot of posts about the rocks, and I tend to agree. It's a solid mechanic (if we ignore that they have houses) but definitely needs tuning. Are you already working on a solution?

2. Are there any plans to do anything further with the lighthouse?

3. Is it the same map every time? I started a second game just to see and it looked identical.

It's true, in this thread you can ask anything!

1. I'm still trying to understand the discussion more, it is a complex topic that needs more thinking - eg having people sleep in houses would make it less obvious that people have gone inside sleeping whereas the rocks are more visual.

2. I want to have the lighthouse be able to have upgrades haha, feel free to suggest stuff if you have ideas!

3. Yes it is the same map

There is an experimental Linux build on `unsupported_platforms`, but there is no controller support at the moment. It appears some players have started building their own controller configs but I'm not sure how it's going.

Will there be plans for UI scaling on the game? On window mode, especially on smaller resolutions, the font becomes really hard to read because they don't scale well. They're too small and isn't friendly for people with eye strains. I might have to refund the game if there are no plans for UI scaling as I have a hard time reading descriptions and item names.

Hi, are you able to take a screenshot as an example so I can better understand the issue?

Yes, here you go: https://i.imgur.com/zxABxnx.png
As you can see in the image, the bottom part is almost impossible to read, and some other parts of the game have incredibly small font as well.

EDIT: Actually it looks a bit bigger when I screenshot it like this, it's much smaller on a window size. Either way, the issue remains and the font still looks way too small and causes eye strain.

I'm not the only one who wants this too, here's a previous thread that brought it up: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2020710/discussions/0/3819657908526661259/

Well, then I have to know how you decided on that name.

how i use medicine to heal the setlers?/

[~D~]

On PC, what key controls pickaxe? I can't mine slime. Also seems to have another bug where it's saying I don't have any mice, yet I have Three in my inventory?

Are you planning recipes that use raw/cooked meat at the cook stations? I have too much of it in game! I am the only one who eats bacon at the snack stations. :(

I don't know how much plastics can upgrade storage boxes to hold items since its not in game yet but it would be nice if storage boxes held more. Currently they get full very fast.

Please consider toning down the snoring if sleeping rocks remain. When doing a task and having to hear one settler after another snore for several minutes is not pleasant on the ears.

Any plans on allowing more large mining drill upgrades or even more cranes? I would like to add one more large drill as one doing rocks to process for minerals is not enough.

Thank you for your time!

Left Mouse click in the cave to use the pickaxe.

You need to click on the mice in the inventory to release them, then they will appear in the characters panel. Though thanks to your comment, I think the message isn't clear enough to tell you what to do, so I will improve it!

Build a mattress (requires you to research Healthcare), then insert medicine into the mattress - injured settlers will automatically lie down in them to recover :)
