When I told my brother to try this game out for himself, he said that he couldn't break the boxes and couldn't move on from the tutorial, but when I first did it, I got nothing about breaking any boxes and he also said that there was a giant jellyfish or something going through the wall. Is this a bug or something?
Are pages despawning when you call the drone a bug or is this an event? Either way, I can't put another note on the drive box when the first one disappears. I've lost out on daily missions twice thanks to this.
Hey mrdrnose love your game, really fit my liking but if i have few request for your game is to add some entity's that you can encounter or get a sight of, like if you are messing too much in the forest some UFO or entity come get you or while you are scaning planet, you can unintentionally scan a space ship or a scary monster coming to earth, next if you want to, is to improve the storyline for exemple you are not just a simple researcher but a scientific that is trying to prove something to the world, but all those idea it's just request but i am satisfied with your incredible game already :)
Go to the correct satellite with a piece of paper in your inventory, get the hash code, equip the paper and there should be premade templates for hashcodes or loans. The hashcode template will always write down whatever servers require a code, then just replace the 'XXXX' with correct hashcodes and place the paper ontop of the drop box before you call for the drone.
to get a hashcode travel to the tower that the hash is assighned to and then enter the comand in and a string of numbers and letters will pop up there you will fill in the info in this format
satellite report form
lima 66geddyu6 (you enter the string of numbers and letters into this box be carful to add a space and to not use the numpad and instead use the line of numbers above the letters on the key board or it will be incorrect also this is case sensitive so make sure all of the letters are lower case )
So... I scanned a planet and put the info on a disc like in the tutorial but when i put it in the processor and upload it, processor never scans it even if i press the buttons. Is something wrong?
You have to upgrade the computer first, otherwise you can't process signals. Think it's the last upgrade, something like Computer Power. Has 3 tiers, one for each max processing level.
in the tips section there is a typo where toggle becomes tggle unless its supposed to be like that also i cant access the garage padlock when I try to use it it boots me off of it. Can you please help me MrDrNose? I will add a vid soon
You mean a shipment vanished? If you called for the drone, saved and then closed the game I can see it happening. Closing the came can have some unexpected consequences at the moment. A main example is signals in the middle of downloading are reset to 0% and signal processing resets to 0%. My advice, don't quit the game until you're not doing anything major. Wait for all current downloads, processing, and shipments to finish.
I mean, not as far as I know, but some objects do float on water so maybe at the moment it's just decoration? Careful, if you fall in you have to crouch jump to get out after they added the anti-Roomba wall around it.
i played for a bit got off but when i reloaded the game it forces all my settings to 0 and my saves gone tried uninstalling and reinstalling but its still the same
so i was scavenging around yankee with the metal detector and i found a little thing called detector (it was right next to the hole). has anyone found anything what it does? it only picks up near the bridge near tango and in the basement, it doesn't seem to point towards anything, i've tried hitting stuff, digging and all, nothing worked. it's a wip item (it doesn't have textures) so i presume it still doesn't have a real function, but i just wanted to ask
I found that too but didn't know it picked up on something around that satellite. As for the basement, unfinished. It's actually detecting the wall itself as if you delete it in Sandbox Mode the thing stops beeping.
if it's a little metal square i found a lot of them if you go south east there is a lot of rock and there is a green box they go inside i only need 3 last of them to see what it does tried in infinite by spawning them it say oow little snitch what now
i normally hate games like this, but this game is really, really good. One suggestion I have is to change the font on the monitors, or at least make the text bigger. It's not normally a problem, but I'll give an example where it is. I was playing this game a lot on my PC and wanted to get it on my windows handheld called the GPD Win 2. I had to drop the render resolution down to 80% to get a solid 30-40fps (i assume performance will get better over time so i wont even bother suggesting it). This makes the game nearly unplayable now because all of the text is way too pixelated to read due to the kind of font and how small it is, despite having a completely playable performance
For me I have the same problem with my bad laptop, but I know another way, when you have to see the text you can just zoom in with x or whatever your hotkey is to zoom in or when using the terminal, just put the resolution to 100% for the time being then once your done, put it back to 80% or whatever your choice is. It worked for me so it should work for you, I hope this helps!
What do the cockroaches do and how do I deal with them? I know there's a repellant but what does it exactly do? Prevents them from spawning? Prevents them from moving near it? I kinda think they should be taken out of the game since part of the vibe I like is being literally the only living being for miles around aside from any aliens/creatures/monsters/duendes.
Yah it happened to me twice. Once somewhere mid-way through Story Mode and once on the very last day. They can actually steal an item right out of your hands and throw it at you, happened with my crowbar. They'll do it a few times and leave. First time I think I left the front door open or they unlocked it. Second time they broke a 2nd vent and got in.
A little harsh considering this is still in very early access, but you don't deserve the responses you're getting. The reports just won't go through sometimes and I'm not 100% sure why, but it seems much more common when you get a 9 or 8 "digit" hashcode. Also some of the numbers/letters can look very similar, so double check it by typing it in the console to see if it looks the same as the code that it printed out. It's rough I agree.
As for the food vanishing, I have no idea. I think something vanished on me once, but I could be wrong. Sometimes things do fall through the floor though, so be sure to save now and again.
yeah, i was over exaggerating, the game's fun but that made me mad cuz i sent out a bunch of empty boxes with reports on top of them just to get no points back (the first time i did it with the disks and the report it just didn't work) and i was getting the numbers right, one time i did one satelite hash right and the other wrong, and the most recent one i did both hashes wrong.
not to be annoying but can you make the ui adjustable? i use a tv as my monitor so anything really in the coner of the screen i cant see such as how many points i have thanks
Love this game, but please simplify controls! There are too many keys that you have to remember and sometimes you need to hold your hands in an awkward position.
Also would be very useful to be able to use keyboard instead of scroll wheel for the knobs, as precise wheel scrolling is very difficult on my mouse.
If you don’t want to change controls, overlay with available actions and key hints would be great. Same goes for tutorial subtitles - they disappear too quick for you to remember controls, you have to summon them again and again. Permanent overlay would be better.
I think new players would appreciate these changes.
Something else that I thought to add, I prefer how E works in source games, where you don't need to hold it down to keep holding an object. Holding E down restricts your movement unless you hold your hand in a weird way to press WASD keys.
And signal finding screen should also use WASD instead of arrow keys just to be more consistent.
Honestly, having played it for several days now, I don't personally find the hunger mechanic compelling. It's just boring busywork that isn't even that difficult to manage after a while. MRE's are everywhere and the crowbar is fairly cheap even in the early game for busting open crates, you get one for free every new day, there's burgers everywhere to supplement it, and then afterwards it's just a credit sink of buying bulk shrimp since it has the best food-to-price value. There's not even anything interesting in letting it diminish, you just keel over randomly and hallucinate food. The reward(punishment?) for letting your character get too tired is way more fun.
I know, demo, but I'd personally like to see the mechanic overhauled at some point, or maybe just have a toggle.
Is there any way to access the backpack once it's been equipped? There doesn't seem to be a button or a way to unequip it or access it once you click "Equip" from your inventory.
There is an equipment button at the top left of your inventory menu. To get stuff out you have to drop the backpack. Then you have to drop everything else to take the backpack into your inventory to and equip it before adding all back. It's not super efficient, but it works.
Modest proposal to the dev: It's realistic to have to drop the backpack to add or use stuff in it. Perhaps a mechanic to move stuff to it from ground, for instance by dragging, would make things more intuitive
Hi, doc. I'm just a rando who wants to tell you that I find your game the most engaging thing I have played in years. Absolutely well done. Hats off to you.
It’s possible that MrDrNose already had UE4 before the release of UE5, and didn’t want to switch over/lean the new engine (not sure how different UE5 is from 4, as I’m not a developer myself).
Well, from what I’ve seen, it’s harder. That’s also from experience. I’m saying that I never actually had UE4, but I’ve seen snippets of it. UE5 is the one I’ve used, and well it’s a bit harder. Blueprints are way harder, that’s for sure.
Hi ! im really excited to play this game unfortunately when i click in the app "VotV.exe" windows show an error message which translated to english says "Windows can't execute this application search a compatible version", im using Windows 11 (cause my Laptop came with that OS as default) i tried to use Windows 8 but that doesn't work too what can i do? :(
My guess as to what you’re experiencing (haven’t tried 11 yet)…
Because the dev doesn’t have a code signing certificate (which isn’t cheap to get), it is “unsigned” code. Meaning, Windows doesn’t know who published the program. By default, Windows 8/10/11 will block you from running software with an unknown publisher. However, the warnings that pop up should allow you to acknowledge it and run it anyways.
But without seeing what you’re seeing, I don’t really know what issue you’re running into. This is just my best guess.

you don't have to pay to play the game and there's only this game that exists so far
how unlock sandbox mode?
Get to around Day 31 in Story Mode.
The game is performing strangely terribly, is there any way to remedy this?
turning shadows to 0 made my pc not boil eggs any more, maybe that helps.
how start on DX10?
When I told my brother to try this game out for himself, he said that he couldn't break the boxes and couldn't move on from the tutorial, but when I first did it, I got nothing about breaking any boxes and he also said that there was a giant jellyfish or something going through the wall. Is this a bug or something?
If you move while holding on a box, it will break almost for sure
He said he tried that, I even tried it, didn't work
Are pages despawning when you call the drone a bug or is this an event? Either way, I can't put another note on the drive box when the first one disappears. I've lost out on daily missions twice thanks to this.
The same thing always happens to me, but it's just a visual bug. I still finish the daily missions normally even though the note disappears.
That's intended. The page is still there but it's despawned. I can only assume it's a safety measure to prevent it from being accidentally grabbed.
this isnt a bug the crate just switches to a different model when the drone needs to pick it up

What version are you looking for? I have a few
Are you toxicplayz13 on reddit? I can message you a link
do you have the gray version
No, sorry
its aight
any other way to get it?
gone forever
"sv.hash" only responds with ">Hashcode". I literally have no clue what to do with the whole report thing. Very frustrating.
Are you doing it at the satellite you want the hashcode of? It doesn't work at the base.
Yes, I went to the nearest satellite.
It only works at satellites required for the daily report.
Go to the correct satellite with a piece of paper in your inventory, get the hash code, equip the paper and there should be premade templates for hashcodes or loans. The hashcode template will always write down whatever servers require a code, then just replace the 'XXXX' with correct hashcodes and place the paper ontop of the drop box before you call for the drone.
to get a hashcode travel to the tower that the hash is assighned to and then enter the comand in and a string of numbers and letters will pop up there you will fill in the info in this format

lima 66geddyu6 (you enter the string of numbers and letters into this box be carful to add a space and to not use the numpad and instead use the line of numbers above the letters on the key board or it will be incorrect also this is case sensitive so make sure all of the letters are lower case )
i hope that was helpfull. happy hunting

Yeah i upgraded my computer and now it works! Thanks dud
I found my buggy on the bridge behind the base (idk if i left it or something stole it for a joyride) but it had 300+ fuel lol.
It's an effect of the event you had before hand. (Won't name it for spoiler reasons.) Same happened to me.
in the tips section there is a typo where toggle becomes tggle unless its supposed to be like that also i cant access the garage padlock when I try to use it it boots me off of it. Can you please help me MrDrNose? I will add a vid soon
how does one use the roach repellant?
wait what happened to the gray version? I didn't know it was going to be a short-time thing...
Plis add to steam
it cost's a 100 usd to put a game on steam
just wait until i have enough to donate >:)
Left the game and my box got "stolen"
You mean a shipment vanished? If you called for the drone, saved and then closed the game I can see it happening. Closing the came can have some unexpected consequences at the moment. A main example is signals in the middle of downloading are reset to 0% and signal processing resets to 0%. My advice, don't quit the game until you're not doing anything major. Wait for all current downloads, processing, and shipments to finish.
Facts
Thank you!
Its still better than 0.5.1 imo where any signal loaded onto a computer used to disappear when the game was closed.
is there a use for that square with water inside the base?
I mean, not as far as I know, but some objects do float on water so maybe at the moment it's just decoration? Careful, if you fall in you have to crouch jump to get out after they added the anti-Roomba wall around it.
I use it for punishing kerfuss when he gets too annoying
i played for a bit got off but when i reloaded the game it forces all my settings to 0 and my saves gone tried uninstalling and reinstalling but its still the same
still a great game tho

just eat them :)
how do i get the invisible spooky fuckface out of the base, i am in a locker and realy scared
edit: i am running for my life and its throwing random stuff at me, also i managed to bait it outside and lock the door
excuses what? haven't seen that before, good luck lol
Yah it happened to me twice. Once somewhere mid-way through Story Mode and once on the very last day.

thats an Arial they should dissapear over time
oh that's annoying lol
Haven't heard of that before tbh
arirals should dissapear overtime, usually they dont get inside the base though.
they always do for me, they come in, throw my stuff and ragdoll me around
sleep, thats the sleep demon because your not taking care of your sleep, (stamina)
0/10, my food dissappeared and reports weren't countin
skill issue

about the food, uh... same.
cockroaches can eat your food
dude, such a skill issue, just start a new save
skill issue
damn, a lot of very original people, anyway i didn't really find a way to get the report going soo like, i guess i'll wait for a hotfix.
not to be annoying but can you make the ui adjustable? i use a tv as my monitor so anything really in the coner of the screen i cant see such as how many points i have thanks

Honestly I'd prefer equipping it without having to have it in your inventory first. Like hold e, press a button, equips any equippable item.
its not for dropping and storing, it makes your inventory space bigger, (volume)
i believe the button would be tab
I find it easier to just run in a straight line to wherever I'm going. I don't think I should be doing this.
i really enjoy the game but im confused cause my save file is just gone.
Have you tried reading the ATTENTION notice at the top of the page? 😸
Sorry, spoilers
Hi, doc. I'm just a rando who wants to tell you that I find your game the most engaging thing I have played in years. Absolutely well done. Hats off to you.
man, this is setting my pc on fire pretty bad, are the trees instanced or are they individual entities?
i beleive they're induvidual sadly, the game is till in its demo so no worries lol
noo why is gray edition gone? Would love to try that version out but cant find it anywhere
is this unreal 4 or 5
It's unreal 4 I believe.
wait, how do you get unreal 4 at this point in the march of time? I thought it shifted to Unreal 5?
That I do not know. But the info on the official wiki states that it is UE 4.25.
It’s possible that MrDrNose already had UE4 before the release of UE5, and didn’t want to switch over/lean the new engine (not sure how different UE5 is from 4, as I’m not a developer myself).

There should be an option with something like "other options" and "launch anyway" in your own language. You can bypass it this way.
how do i get rid of the cockroaches!?!?
those asshole eat all my food😭
what do i do nowww
you eat them in return.
also get roach repellent when you can i guess
sustinance!
yommy :)
put food in container, problem solved, theres a free box on top of the tower, and a nightstand by your bed, you can drag around both.
who here wants a multiplayer mode?
I do It will help with the management of the systems.
over all it would be even more enjoyable to play the game
