I frickin love this game, it's challenging and makes me so spiteful towards all the buggies destroying things I paid good ore for lol 

I have been noticing an issue scattered at different levels, not sure if it's a known bug. Fairly often I have to restart a level or the whole game due to an ore mine (placed correctly) simply not producing ore at all, always at 0. 

Always excited for new updates on this game, excellent work and thank you!

Love the game, but I am stuck on the last level. It's always the big armored bugs that get me. I've tried a bunch of weapons and strategies, but nothing seems to kill them fast enough. Any tips?

Funny thing happened in my match, the large bugs got stuck on a community building - they tried to break the houses but it seems houses are indestructible. I then built a few tesla coils near the bugs, and watched them slowly die. I built the base in the bottom right corner.

I find a good set of the missile silos wipes them out. You still need a decent set of the normal defences to delay them long enough though

Really enjoying this - any news on the next update or release? 

(1 edit)

I was finished all the parts of mission. How long to more campain or multiplayer option are release - something like resouce war, deep story and unlimit time...

 Wish!

i can't understand about the attract citizens to the radio tower. can someone explain this to me about how to do it?

Believe you are talking about one of the early tutorial levels, if I remember right just a matter of connecting the civilian housing to the command center with roads, maybe also getting a farm setup and connected also.

As a C&C fan this was a fun run-through. For those claiming impossibility, well, sorry, but keep trying. I had to replay one map, just once. I found it challenging, but not so much I wasn't enjoying myself. Keep up the good work Robbie. This is an extremely polished start and I hope the finished game is about 400% bigger. Feels like a classic.

Thanks for the kind words!

Tutorial needs balancing work, the first mission is trivially easy, but the second mission steps up to impossible. If you follow the tutorial hints exactly, the text suggest you need four solar collectors but you need to complete 5 to get the next step, you do not then have enough material to build the second capacitor.  During the first way which always seems to coincide with dust storm the guns will brown-out and the critters will over run.

If you instantly pause on restart, min-max the tutorial build you can just survive the first waves, but the guns run out of power during the second wave and you are over-run.

If you ignore the tutorial instructions completely and instead min-max production you can build about twice as many defence towers for each wave; a wall in front of the guns, and have garrison added at each invasion point you will still get overrun by the third wave.

Hey Robbie when ever I try to download this game it says "forbidden" are there any other sites I can download this game?

hello, great game, only thing i could want is a sandbox mode, now that would be awsome, with waves of enemies in increasing difficulty, and maybe bigger maps? anyway`s awsome work so far, ceep it up :-)

Thanks for playing! Sandbox mode is coming!

Guys!! This game is unbelievable and very challenging! I just played 2nd mission for like an hour and I lost! 😂 That was really nice tho, love this game!

Keep up the good work!!!

Same, anyone know of a general ETA on the new update?

We were hoping to get one out before the end of the year. But it'll be early next year cause the we're closing in a few days.

(1 edit)

Stuck on mission 3 - mission 2 was VERY hard to understand.  It wanted me to build 3 mining installations, but I built one on the far side and it didn't count it.  Also, it took a while to figure out WHY they were not counting (was not obvious.) It turned out they were not delivering ore to the "main" building?  I figured it out, but it took a few tries.

Thanks for the feedback! The tutorials are new in this version so we're still working on them.

You need to connect mines with a 2 way roads same with some other buildings so what I mean is to go pass the mine entry and to do like a square and go back, not a 1 way road !! 

I just failed 2nd mission my self kept losing power and not much food 😂

That is the log but I'm talking with a person on the discord and 2nd could you put like system requirements on this website like if you have to have directX to play this game

Thank you

Hey Robert new guy but I'm asking why is second earth crashing on my macbook pro want to play this but it crashes version of mac book pro is 10.9.5 os x thanks a lot Robert

Sorry about the crashing!  I can look into it if you can post your logfile. Crashes are tricky though!

Can you paste your logfile here please? (pastebin.com works well for this)

Thanks for the feedback cuzeye!

We actually have a quite a few plans that are similar to your suggestions. Some were even in previous builds!

Also at some point the trucks will be smarter. I hope.

Heyaa!

I found found this game by accident.. But boi I must say, one of, if not the best game I played so far!! I REALLY REALLY REALLY loved it! The way your hopes and dreams are crushed by those god awful bugs get's me everytime. 

I managed to finish it with some minor difficulties and I am really excited to see what you have planned for this game's future. :)

Appart from what is already said before me in the comments, I don't have any helpfull or constructed critisism. Maybe if I were to have one, it would be to have more missions and AI colony that might need some aid.. I don't know.. It is awesome as it is already so take that!

Keep it up, love to see more soon!

Greetings Kannie

Thanks for the nice words Kannie! Really appreciate it :)

I enjoyed playing this game a lot. The last two areas are very challenging but super rewarding when you finish it. I do wish that there be a save game option. Those two last areas take forever to beat. Is there actually console commands for like admin or something? I kinda want to just build around layouts and such. 

Thanks for playing pixiedust! Well done for finishing, that's not easy!

Save game system is currently in development. So hopefully that'll be working sooner rather than later.

As for console commands. You can press shift-tab to open the debug menu. There are a few cheats there.

This is a game like those i enjoyed to play before.
It is difficult, strategic and uncommon.
It's been a while i had so much fun to play. Thank you.

I suggest you the fellowing improvments if you want to make it evolve:

- Humans seems to be too big if we compare them to the buldings

- Make a single custom player mode, in order to extend the game experience

- A save option during the game (but not during the ennemy waves)

Well, thank you for this experience. Now what is your plan for the future?

Thanks for the feedback Miithrandir! Save system and custom/sandbox mode is coming - I've actually started preliminary work on both!

Great game, lots of fun.

Some feedback:

1. Option on garages to prioritize specific building or resource would be great.

2. Can we get info on amount of magma needed to load one magma turret at max speed.

I like how residence area is growing when scrubber is present. Not sure how that effect is made. It would be cool to add your own qubes on resident buildings. Add-on instead of stand alone building.

(+1)

Thanks for playing!

1. I'm hoping to just make the trucks smart enough that you won't need to manage them, but I'll have to see how that goes.

2. Not sure I understand? There's no limit to how quickly a magma turret can fill up.

When I build alot of buildings and connect all roads together trucks do take ages to go around but I think that's okay to make the game harder I just have to connect some roads separately with a garage ! 

Love this game!! Keep up the work 

"Your enemy is not your enemy..." Oooooh, spooky

This game is a lot of fun, but I'm having a big problem with it... I'm unable to get past level 2, because I keep being overwhelmed by the 3rd wave. I've tried using both turrets and garrisons, but my gun turrets always run out of power and my defenses are overwhelmed. Am I supposed to spam solar panels and capacitors to run my turrets for long enough, or is there something I'm missing?

Thank you!

If you look at your power bar on the top of the screen always want to make sure its not red, should be a kinda off white color indicating you have plenty of extra power.  Turrets and capacitors don't charge quickly otherwise.

Also having some capacitors will help.

I just downloaded this game and so far I'm liking it, but I agree with LVUER below, a save option would be nice.


Also, I sure hope you decide to sell this on GOG as well as Steam. There is a few of us out here that don't use Steam.

Hi, am just started playing ? "level 2" ? when game pauses.. am not able to unpause using spacebar as shown in default bindings. hoping i attached correct file. Thanks, Adam.

Hrm. Haven't been able to replicate this. Do you know exactly when it happened? Was there a tutorial goal on-screen? Sorry about this.

So.

1. I really like the soundtrack so far, music is important part of any game.

2. Buuugs! As Starship trooper fan I approve this greatly.

3. Ability to remap keys, really I just want rotation under R.

4. Option to disable camera snap, losing control over my camera in middle of building something is  really annoying.

There are still some bugs left so get your flamethrowers guys and good luck!

Thanks for playing, glad you're having a good time!

Key-remapping will happen eventually. As for camera snap, that only happens in the tutorials - but we could probably have it be optional too.

Couple of small gripes about the game.

1. With the minimap, the fuzzy red marking that indicates enemies are coming from that direction frankly isn't clear enough to draw your attention, if it had a more vibrant red and a solid shape like a line or arrow it'd serve its purpose better.

2. While I doubt anything will be done about this, suicide bomber enemies have never added to gameplay in my opinion. They also don't seem to have a clear counter in this as turrets just don't do anything to them and its a struggle to get mortars or missile launchers going since trucks go at their own pace.

Thanks for the feedback! We're not about to remove the exploders, but we are looking at how to balance them better.

This is impressively well done, not a lot to complain about. Please add a random level generator :)

Hi, these are some bugs and suggestions that I found during playing the game. Hope this help:

1. Quick save: since later stages (especially 6 waves mission) can take more than 2 hours, it's a good idea to add some kind of save features. If you don't want player to be able to reload game (in case of screws up), then just delete the save after loading.

2. I've wrote this before, but during sandstorm, all turrets are knocked-out despite having tons of both electricity an stored power. Also, when the batteries inside turrets run out, they're also knocked out despite clear weather and having tons of electricity (and stored power) available.

3. Truck priority. AI's truck could have some tweak, or perhaps you can add some priority options (on the garage or truck). I have tons of trucks and roads, should be more than enough to keep entire economy going. But despite that, the truck keeps delivering ores and food, which is good, but they neglect the fertilizer plants (they keep it empty for too long time) even after crossing the plant multiple times with empty cargo (the waste plant and fertilizer plant is very close each other and can be traveled in one go).

You can add options so a certain truck is dedicated to certain facilities.

4. Keyboard shortcut. Like R for road placement, C for community center, etc. This is important during wave since we can't pause and we need to be fast.

5. Ability to undo last action. So when I accidentally place something in wrong place, or bulldoze wrong building, I can instantly correct my mistake.

Thanks for playing and providing feedback!

1. This is something we want to do, but it's a big technical challenge so we haven't started on it yet.

2. This is a known bug and will be fixed in the next version.

3. We're working on making the trucks smarter, but don't really want to add any micro-managing on the player's side. Trucks will also be able to collect from waste dumps in the next version.

4. We used to have this for roads and pylons, but took it out for some reason. We have too many buildings to give each one a key though. Not sure what the solution should be.

5. I'll think some more about this. Might be worth doing if I can find an easy way to implement it. Might also make less sense once buildings take some time to construct and deconstruct.

Hey! I know you probably get asked this a lot, but any ETA on the new update? :) It's just that I'm excited to play more! :)

We're hoping for end of November, but we've got a lot to do around that time so no promises!

(1 edit)

The truck problem is not just on waste dump/fertilizer plant... Sometimes they just neglect some plants, especially on isolated place (like out of place ore mines)... but sometimes near plants can also be neglected. I have several times ore mines hit maximum capacity... and I always have lots of trucks and roads.

The priority options isn't mandatory, so it's not adding much micromanaging for the player. Actually one truck for one building is more than enough, but since we can't dedicate trucks to a particular building, one truck one building is suddenly not enough.

Hello Robbie !

Just a quick not to help you find a solution for 4). Have you played Age Of Empires 2 ? there is many buildings in this old gem, more than a keyboard could handle, so what they do is they split buildings by category so that you press 1 key to select a category then another to select building within selected category. I believe it would fit nicely in your game since you already have categories as well :)

I've certainly played a loooot of AoE 2 :P

Worth considering something like that. We're gonna overhaul the tool panel at some point, so we'll see what that looks like first.

I can't play for some reaso

Hey so i enjoy your game the only thing i ask is for a mode kinda like a survival mode that would be cool and would make it so people who do not wanna do missions and just wanna survive can. ~Whiterun Guard 

ps:good game keep it up ill most likely pay for the game once it at its final  stage.

Cannot finish second map, game keep asking me to build a waste dump while I already built 3 dumps

you need to build it under the flag sacto, where the flag pole ends.

Love the game looking forward to the finished product however i have been only able to play very little of it as it either crashes before it is able to run or crashes very quickly into the game looks like a Unity crash but i am not teck savy enough to know much more or sort it out, but well done anyway.

Sorry about the crashes! If you post your logfile here I can see if I can help. (pastebin.com works well for this)

Loving it so far, is there any idea of final price and what Store will sell it please?

Thank u !

I really enjoyed playing this game. I would like to see hotkeys and the ability to edit them in menu would be great. There is still a bit of optimization and I really look forward to new missions & updates.

P.S: sry for my english, greetings from Belarus!

Coooool thanks so much for playing!

I accidentally clicked on a video on YouTube without knowing what a thrilling game this is. I have downloaded it but it flickers a lot in the options menu. How will it be supported in the future? Will there be patched for manual download? Will it be released on Steam or GOG?

Thanks for playin! Still early days, but we'd love to put it on Steam eventually.

Game graphics freezes in the second lvl, after playing for a while, happens only on Windows but not Linux. Can't get past that mission, tried different graphic settings (w. and without vsync).
I love the game, played the first 6 levels on Debian but my linux machine was to slow to handle the game, so installed it on Windows, but it crashes. Anyway I can help debug it?

Same here. Windows froze on second level.  

Hey, sorry about the crashes. If you two can post your logfiles here that'd let me see if I can help. (pastebin.com works well for this)

The full text is too much for pastebin. 
Here's a portion of the texts. Most of them repeat themselves. Hope this help.

https://pastebin.com/TTHfy53D

Hrm. It looks like a file permission error. I'll try fix this in the next build, but in the mean time running as administrator might fix it?

Same problem, to big for pastebin, added a viewable file at google-drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d81B1TDE4S4rix8H08CVwfymrVz0fuGC/view?usp=shari...
