Hello again, after a long time away from the game I wanted to replay it (and see all the updates!).

Unfortunately I have faced an error that I couldn't do anything except closing the game. In the game building menu and other functionalities were switching on and off constantly with the high rate (~30 PS).

And I have found the issue: I had not defined the keys for any action in the game. No "AWSD" for moving, nothing for opening the inventory, nor building menu. So the solution was to define that. Thankfully it was possible from a standard menu.

Code solutions (only ideas):

1. If you don't find definitions, create default settings file or fill with the defaults already existing file. Then use the file (reload the game?).
2. If you don't find definitions, override empty settings by default ones.
3. If the definitions have the same keys for multiple actions add some alert that something is wrong with the definitions and may cause the damage.
4. If the definitions have the same keys for multiple actions do not let the game to play (allow only menu).
5. Solve the issue the way fits you best :) .

I guess that this issue can happen when you update the game from one of the very old versions, but also it can happen if anybody will play with the local storage files and/or random error will happen to your computer. Checking that on the game opening (validation on "play" button in the game menu) should not be very time consuming.

very strange indeed. I have a default file for key definitions. It must be because you had a much older version I didn't account for. I am glad you found the solution. Happy gaming!

Try the new version this should be fixed. If it isn't let me know.

Thank you for your fast replay. I will try the newest version ASAP.

This weekend I had some time to play the version just before slots for saved worlds. It was even better gameplay than I expected. Pretty intensive and sometimes challenging (especially green gremlin attacking when you explore "distant" place).

Unfrotunately I have spot 3 bugs (or features? - please tell me which are the features for now):

1. This little green guy attacking me was also attacking nomads on that explored land. They didn't cooperate but fight with each other (or rather that was only green attacking).

2. I have spot a scrap vehicle on that land (spacecraft?) with lots of metal. Great source of metal. And lots of clicking ;) . But when you scrap the vehicle (~1000 clicks?) you... gain another vehicle to scrap! It will not disappear! :)

3. Volt-o-meters. I remember that they had a need of power supply from pylons and transformer. Now I was able to use them to power up one of my robots without other support. I am not sure if it has changed, is a bug or I remember incorrectly. Or maybe I made another bug somehow. Maybe try to reproduce the sequence: put a transformer, pylon, vlotometer switch (2x) and farmer robot, then connect everything in a standard way, set up switches options and see that the robot is working. Then remove the transformer and the pylon and your robot should still work.

1. Yes they have different factions. The skeletons should attack the green one though. That might be a bug.

2. That is something I will have to look into! I am proud of you for clicking that many times :)

3. Yeah I noticed that bug awhile back. It think switches are the only thing that is working correctly right now. I'll put that higher on my list to fix.

1. I can confirm that skeletons don't attack green ones. It was hard to check (since skeletons very like my guy), but I could see situation when two of them were standing still and green ball was killing them.

2. Clicking is not the issue. I had some time while watching a TV series at the same time  :P. So I thought "why not?". :D

3. So it is not a bug but an exploit! ;)

Anyway, I have to say big "thank you" for your work. It is great! And I can see that the game is still under development, which is not a very common situation here, on this platform. Hope you will find a way to develop it even longer :).

Update about 2.:

The ship has disappeared. After two cycles of clicking. I guess that there are two ships in the same spot and when one disappeared, another was available on the same place.

And don't be proud of me for clicking ;). I have written very simple program to click for myself :P.

ahh, that makes sense. :)
