No candles lit at end of year 2?

[PreciousPlum]

I have played this game through several times, but this is my first time in the beta. I have just reached the end of year 2 and none of the candles were lit, despite having earned more than 2 million, completed the community centre, fully upgraded house etc. On previous playthroughs this same level of progress has got me 4 candles! Any explanation?

Grandpa's evaluation is directly related to the number of candles that light up around Grandpa's Shrine (there are 4 candles) at the beginning of year three.

Yes, based on that I should have got 4 candles. But I got zero.

You need to get to year 3 as it states there as you have said you are on year 2.

Also if you are in beta it could be a issue as beta has many bugs still.

End of year 2/start of year 3. Same thing!

I have gone through the cutscene where the candles got lit, and none of them did.

They are not the same thing as the end of year 2 is winter 28 and start of year 3 is spring day 1.

Try re-evaluating at the shrine with a diamond and see if that works.

Also as I said if you are playing on beta make sure you check the bugs list to see if it's on the list otherwise report it.

Like I said, I have been through the cut scene. I am on spring day 3. The candles are not lit. I'm not an idiot like you are implying.

You never said you did the cut scene in your original post nor were on year 3 in it.

No one is calling your names and as I have said it's probably a beta bug and given you a way to fix it or told you how to see if it's a reported bug.

I'm on year five and the candles (I had four) aren't lit anymore either. I've gotten the purple statue long before that of course, I think it's just a bug. Can you interact with the shrine?
