After playing for like a week I boot it up and my save file is nowhere to be seen. I was playing on itch so I wouldnt have this issue again. Fml please come to steam, I cant stand save file management, I play hundreds of games and I cant be expected to have some google doc with all my save files updated daily.
Anyone knows the purpose of Haste in Horde? I'd also love if anyone could try and explain what Nostalgia actually does - wording got me a bit confused.
Nostalgia seems to give you an increased chance to find Heirlooms. Each time you find an Heirloom that you normally wouldn't have gotten without Nostalgia, you lose one Nostalgia.
at first I managed to kinda ignore it but then more and more timewalls started to show up
yeah bro let me craft a pickaxe and get roll so low it might as well have failed completely and I have to wait for ores to fill up again. yes, you can influence the result, or just get the upgrade to increase the average power, but eventually you'll run into this problem anyway (I love failing 80% multiple times in a row and getting absolutely nothing for my time)
this actually made me actually log in back to this account that I haven't used in a long while lol
oh-- oh my god. you can clear locked shapes. it just doesn't give you anything. I've been resetting the board like a moron bc I had less than 5 of each unlocked shape and thought I couldn't do anything else. I've been getting rid of special shapes bc of this
Did someone find out what "Mystery Shapes" in the gallery shape tab do? they are annoying to produce with the chests and seem to have no impact at all?
Yeah and each time you do that you get 1 Mystery Shape. I wonder what they do. Their Maximum is 1337 lol but nowhere is explained what their function is
Is there a way to implement an upgrade that wont wipe progress for the web version for mining so I can see what levels have what so I don't have to just skip through them all to find the one that produces the most of whatever resource I need?
Gallery nerfs are harsh. Would've been nice if I could at least respec my Ideas...
I don't feel like nerfing the rewards from Shapes makes it any less grindy either, this doesn't address the underlying problem. In fact the lower Motivation cap means I need to spend more time actively watching it. What I'd like to see is a higher Motivation cap, and a way to quickly spend more Motivation at once.
I dropped my race in the Village, which had been going on for a year and a half and the Horde, which lasted nine months. To view the new game modes. Are you outraged by the loss of three weeks? Did the loss of equipment capacity increase cards sadden you, for example? That's me - very much, I'm three orders of magnitude lower in strength.
An update is an update. New balance, new mechanics, a lot of changes. The loss of three weeks of progress in just one parameter is sad, of course, but not as sad as the loss of a save by people (as they wrote below) or clicking the "buy everything" button in the Gas Giant, spending all the prestige currency accumulated over six months without any warnings. Because of one random click :)
This game is not for weaklings! It is for harsh people who are not afraid of difficulties :)
Can someone explain the point of cards like "Strange Ritual" and "Just Microwave it"? I've spent thousands of gems over the last months in order to receive the latter one and im disappointed/confused.
They could be used to get the "Challenging Evil" achievements I guess, for defeating enemies at a high enough corruption level. But yeah other than that I'm also a bit like "What's the point?" other than just completing the collection.
For Tendsty, I with there were more feedback in Night Hunt when a ritual is performed. I can really only tell if it succeeded or failed by whether the little "New" icon gets grayed out. A toast or something would be great
You gradually gain Magic resource. Every now and then its consumed to generate some special event-only resource. To find the resource, you'll need to mouse-over the icon. In terms of where it shows up it can be seemingly in nearly any other place. a normal-icon will swap to event icon. For example Copper in mining, or a Gem in gems. Just go through your various tabs until finding it. It can even spawn on prestige sub-section apparently.
Icons it can be are something like "maple leaf", "grass", "skull", "clover", or a potion bottle thing.
Once you have some, you can attempt a ritual. These gives you points for event shop, can unlock potions and unlock a new resource for the event which so far I've only seen as able to combine multiple resources into potion, and higher chance to succeed.
Oh man, it wasn't until the most recent update that I realized you have to actually place the garden gnome in your field. I've been playing this game for months. I feel like such a fool....
For Tendsty: I love the Shapes tab you added in this update, thank you so much! It's perfect!
Though I have to say I'm bummed you can no longer select multiple of a card for a prestige, and it feels bad to have the farm fertilizer Speed-Grow nerfed so much.
Otherwise, it's a great update, and the Shapes make up for the nerfing, thank you so much for making and working on this game!
And in my opinion, shapes are the worst element in the game. It's not bad in itself, but it's too different from the rest of the game. See for yourself: now we have nine different games (if the shapes are considered a separate game), and after a year of playing, all these games require 1-2 minutes of attention from me per day. Well, maybe 5-6, considering that the new games have just started and require more player attention. And the shapes at the same time are an active game. And it takes 10-15 minutes to spend all the accumulated motivation. And what happens in the end? Does one game take ten times more time than all the other five combined? A strange decision.
So he can nerf it later, the classical tendsty. New people will take a year to progress while the one that exploited it being active will have an advantage, repeat.
I have been playing this game for about two months and I love it. Well done Tendsty!
Desired quality of life improvements:
Mine
Add a button to the left to return to the lowest rock with a break time of 1s, or better yet, add an automation option to return to this rock after reaching a rock with a certain break time
Allow replacing the ores used to craft a pickaxe. Currently, I must delete all of the ores in the slots in order to replace just the leftmost ore.
Horde
Show which items are equipped and their mastery levels on main tab. When putting an item into idle mode, it's not readily apparent which items are equipped
Farm
When a crop is in overgrowth, show time to next tier of overgrowth on hover (or better yet, the next few tiers like you do with the depth dweller)
Events / Menu
Highlight the Event button in the menu when an Event is currently active
I don't know if there's a "Right" answer, but I would load the page in Incognito Mode, export the new game right away, and import that into your normal browser's version.
can anyone tell me what is mansion's second requirement and how to get it? my concern it's a gimmicky one like joy, i know i still other obvious ones to unlock ahead of me (i'm at 177 village)
Not a gimmick, you're still missing a building which provides a job. Look through them and you'll see one which would give you access to a new job you can use.
yeah boris, that makes sense. I figured capacity cards sped it up by a lot for me, since helium yield increased a lot even if you progress one or two levels. for future readers, notice you'll have to reach a specific level before you can buy the upgrade to drill yellow crystal...better stock up on helium :)
Seems there's a bug with the "Construct 1x Level 1 Main Stage" quest for the event. I constructed it and got a note that said I could delete it afterwards, so I hit the button to trash it, but I can't claim the quest as completed (not sure if because I hit the trash button, even if it hasn't been deleted yet).
There really should be a button to cancel the deletion or construction of a building if it is still in progress. I'm stuck having to wait 15minutes for it to delete, only so I can waste resources rebuilding it (for another 15min) to complete the quest, and that's not devastating in the beginning but later buildings take longer and are costlier.
Not getting topaz during events is a huge bummer too, there should be a warning for that when spending it (not simply the "are you sure you want to spend this rare currency?"), since the "Can afford in 1d05h" you get after running out is super misleading; one might only realize afterwards that in fact you won't be generating it at all during the event... which is unfortunate given how sparse events already are.
Doesn't help that indicators such as land (left) and etc are kind of unclear and you might end up building tiles that you can't actually use to place the buildings you planned to (specially considering that by quest #14 I only got 2 free unlocks).
"Summer Festival" not sure what I'm supposed to do here to collect resources. I think a 'tile' is the circles on the map, and each 'tile' has seven 'cells'? So a warehouse collects from adjacent 'tiles' but not the 'tile' the warehouse occupies? I've built warehouses on the same tile as a resource, and on a neighbouring tile, but only the "wood" resource increases over time not the "coconuts" resource. Also the warehouse says it has "autocollect amount x1.3" during construction, but "autocollect amount /1.666" when construction is complete. It gathers more during the minutes it's incomplete?
To fix the weird displays for Summer Festival, turn off "Relative Upgrade Stats" in the settings. It's broken with this event unfortunately.
When you build a building on a tile, it will stop generating its resource. If you want that resource, don't build anything there and have a "Collector" nearby.

that's a funny name. hehe. Goo-Boo

Nostalgia seems to give you an increased chance to find Heirlooms. Each time you find an Heirloom that you normally wouldn't have gotten without Nostalgia, you lose one Nostalgia.
As for Haste, is that the same as Taunt mode?
Haste reduce items cooldown by a %, I think 100 haste cut your colldowns in half
>game promises to respect your time
>look inside
>RNG mechanic in the very first game

Got 20 sapphires?

LMAO holy shit, I should've seen your comment sooner 😂
how do you go about that?
just double click any grayed out shapes in groups of five, same with shapes you can collect. keep in mind, they do have to match each other.
thanks! that makes sense
Did someone find out what "Mystery Shapes" in the gallery shape tab do? they are annoying to produce with the chests and seem to have no impact at all?
Collecting it with 10 different shapes gives some of all shapes.
Yeah and each time you do that you get 1 Mystery Shape. I wonder what they do. Their Maximum is 1337 lol but nowhere is explained what their function is

Hi, the game seems to not work for me anymore after the update. I played this morning but, now when I press Run Game it just gives me a blank screen
I jumped from 1.4.2 to 1.5.3 since I rarely check for updates for this game and I play standalone.
Newest update took away almost all Mystery Stones I managed to gather for last three weeks. How nice of someone that "respects your time".

Can you add a way to zoom in or make the text bigger in the download version?

After game update (from pre-1.5) total avaibable offerings is NaN. Have pre-update save with the same problem :(
Why did you introduce active play - shapes - when it was supposed to be "not required" ???? wtf
So he can nerf it later, the classical tendsty. New people will take a year to progress while the one that exploited it being active will have an advantage, repeat.
Advantage over what? It's a single player game. lmfao
What’s the point of anticheat in a single player game if you aren’t planning to add MTX
I have been playing this game for about two months and I love it. Well done Tendsty!
Desired quality of life improvements:
my Chromebook stopped working for a month and I lost all progress sad
Why didn't you export it to an external backup?
Any way to restart? I tried wiping site data and it still remembers where I was. Just wanna start fresh.
I don't know if there's a "Right" answer, but I would load the page in Incognito Mode, export the new game right away, and import that into your normal browser's version.
Thanks... If anyone needs it, The fresh save file is just a .txt, so I'll post it below:

yup, i figured it'd be the artsy one. thanks :)
how to get yellow crystals in mining? Unlocked upgrades that cost them but can only get greens
Gas Giant Mining. The second mining mode.
have u figured it out yet? i am in gas mining but can't harvest a single yellow crystal even after letting it run for days straight
well now i have. capacity up does it.
It was a long time ago :) But as far as I remember, I had to wait two months to get the right amount of capacity :) Ruby upgrades can help make it faster :)
yeah boris, that makes sense. I figured capacity cards sped it up by a lot for me, since helium yield increased a lot even if you progress one or two levels. for future readers, notice you'll have to reach a specific level before you can buy the upgrade to drill yellow crystal...better stock up on helium :)
I bought the 900 gem upgrade for scrap cap just for hellium grinding but its so slow, absolutely hellish
It's technically possible to softlock quests 16 and 23 in summer festival.
