Softlocked due to different room tiles

[hooviegroovie]

So, in one of those lost chest rooms, I stood on the aerospace tile (there was only one of it and I thought it was for a certain mechanic because there was no chest), and funnily enough aerospace was the only space I haven't gotten to.

So now I am softlocked inside a single room with powerfields blocking my way to the aerospace.

Is there any way to bypass this, or is this merely a softlock bug?

(I would provide a screenshot but sadly f12 doesn't work in here for some reason)

That's a softlock bug, unfortunately yes. There's a lot of mechanics in place to prevent these types of situations, but apparently they still slip through every now and then. I'll see or I can fix it.

I'm assuming you mean something like this happened: https://i.imgur.com/B9WodVI.png. It's very, very rare, but I'll definitely make sure it won't happen again!

Edit: found the bug! It would transform tiles between 4 open tiles into another open tile, but not mark it as the special "Arsenal". Then, since it's in another area, it would get overwritten as a Aerospaces (or whatever) tile, and stepping on those triggers the area transition. Will be fixed in next update, thank you so much for reporting!

Glad I could help find a bug! This has been one of the most enjoyable games so far :)
Also I noticed something that may be a bug (actually, 2 things):
1.I reloaded my savefile after the softlock, and NPC shops seemed to have been resetted, meaning you could trade all over again, and their dialogue and quest seemed to be resetted too (not a big deal if you've finished it since you have the item in your bag).

2. The uh, red area (probably the forge or something, I can't remember for now, sorry) has its lava all turned to water, and I'm not sure if that's intentional.

Thanks for the game :)

I'll look into it. And if you like the game, please leave a review - I'm almost at 10, at which point it gets an official rating. Writing literally anything will massively help me!

(The save file changing is definitely weird, by the way, as it never happened to me before... maybe something got corrupted along the way.)

Edit: patch for your softlock is live.

Will do!
Oh also, my apologies, but I think there's probably one more thing I haven't mentioned.
Sometimes I just get a "Template Weapon" That just looks like a normal Wrench, and once you drop it and close your bag, it just reappears in it. I often have to throw the thing into an used weaponizer to get rid of it. If it's fine, could you also look into it?

Thanks again.

Template Weapon is just a default "unedited" item, which uses the default wrench sprite. That having said I genuinely don't know where it would come from - my best guess would be you're running out of memory, and the game cannot load the items properly. Do you have any steps to reproduce the error?

I have no idea how it happened actually. Sometimes when I'm picking up an item it would just appear as a template weapon.
It uses other item's sprites sometimes (as I check my bag after I pick up an item. It has used the sprite of a brownie once, or either it was picked up with a brownie.)

I'll try to see if I can reproduce it.
