How can you reset events? Looking to reset some catapults!

The new blogpost for April's work is up.

Ya see, because there's so many people working on so many different aspects it turns people who just want to play the game without getting heavily involved in the community confused. Blog posts are the main source for many a porn game nowadays and if there isn't enough information readily available, and not hidden behind server pins, lists, forum chats and wikis, then it just becomes irritating. I didn't know that about Mondays and Sundays, just seemed to me that updates were coming in later and later and lesser and lesser because there was just less coming in. As annoying as certain authors making blog posts saying they're sick every couple of weeks, it's still helpful to know what's going on too.

It's nice that ya'll are acknowledging this kinda' feedback outside of the forum, site and discord too, but there needs to be a few quicker, anonymous, ways to do so. Like the blog comments - I mean, it's only one page a month to read, right? And then anyone can drop some feedback. Like, the survival shit is cool - and would make a great number of additional kinks and things if those concepts were actually fleshed out. (Like whoring yourself out is a neat idea, but the scav scenes are weak and the shag shack isn't too impressive, or viable if you're a male) Whilst you could invite a whole host of somnophiliacs to like the game if there were actually scenes for it. (Hell, even I'd write scenes for all kinda' content voluntarily if there was just a blog detailing what's what in a little detail - like

).

And it's funny too that you mention saving and loading, because it breaks multiple aspects of the game and for some reason as it blocks events from happening. On all my imported saves you can't get the imp's encounter that leads to Skarnoth's library content to trigger at all and have to make a new character (And thus go through the cheat rigamarole to breeze through it, unless you fancy a tonne of grinding again). Similarly, the system is broken in a few other places - you can't do anything after turning on the power regarding the showers (and the scenes therein with relate characters) if you import a save, can't progress the boar's encounters, can't do a lot of Alexandra's content because it just won't trigger. Would have reported it in the blog, as I've done with other stuff, but with comments disabled I don't quite fancy linking my discord to a porn one. (Even a degenerate has standards, apparently.)

Regarding the level gating, it's a problem in conjunction with the saving. You won't encounter half the enemies at low level in exploration or scavenging, and if you're a new player who's never cheating you may never progress past level 3 or so and see the encounters, making it easy to dismiss the game as lacking content (As some have in this thread). There was an update a while ago that just brings up the "Seems you're missing a pre-requisite" message, but doesn't tell you what it is. I know it's impossible to go through everything and point it out, but that "pre-requisite" can be a level gate or something entirely asinine - not to mention if you import a high level character above it you have to then go and level up again, or start a new character and manually grind behemoths to level back up to it.

At the end of the day, it's smut, ya know? I'd ask that you can give back some of the tools to the community to keep people happy. Let anons edit the wiki (Can always be moderated like any other Wiki), or comment on the blog. There's potential supporters put off by things, or people who aren't getting as far as wanting to support because the game is overwhelming at a glance (I mean, this has to be THE biggest text based game online, right?) and just end up giving up.

I've probably gone a bit overboard, but it's a couple years coming I suppose.

Sorry for the late response. I was busy helping get the update out.

I'll go ahead and share the stuff that you posted with the others. Maybe we can work something out or at least keep what you said in mind for the future.

As for your potential interest in writing, we actually welcome new writers, but it does require being on the Discord, which I'm aware that you're hesitant to do.

Regarding saves, Inform is the coding language used to make this game. It's easy to pick up, but unfortunately, it's old and not as versatile as more modern methods. One of the drawbacks was that saves could not be transferred between versions, so the export/import system is a workaround method, but sadly, it's difficult to make sure everything gets transferred.

It's nice that you're pointing out things to work on, and hopefully, we can improve on things to give you a more enjoyable experience, if you choose to keep playing.

Unfortunately, there's no way to reset events unless you edit your save, which I am not familiar with.

If you want infinite time, you can type 'play on' when you are in front of Trixie and all the time pressures are removed. Enjoy your sandbox experience.

I forgot, what stat controls carry weight?

Strength. There's also a level up feat you can pick if you have 15 strength or more to get even more carry weight.

Here's a save with a basic human character with 150 stats in everything. It should make things much easier if you want to check the game out. I recommend going to the Dry Plains and just spamming "hunt behemoth" to get 40 XP per battle and level up quick. One or two hits should kill them.

The two traits you really want to work to get are Microwaved and Shifting. Microwaved allows you to refuse transformations from sex and Shifting allows you to transform into any race by using commands like "shift human" "shift centaur" or "shift X" to turn into that species completely after a turn.

Microwaved requires the first part of the

after which you have to microwave a dirty water bottle in the lab, unlock a volunteer trait by leveling up a bit, and then choosing the microwave trait from the available choice.

Shifting requires you to complete the quest

and then

to unlock the ability.

How do you apply the save once you extract the folder? I have the save file in the same location as the other saves but for some reason the game is saying "restore failed" when I go to open the save through Git.

 

[Kurainyx]

Are you using the command 'import'?

This is what happens when I try to import the save.

I took a look at the guy's save, and it looks like he only gave the regular save, as in the save data that only works on the same version the save was made from. If you export data, which is used to transfer your stuff between versions, you would've gotten several files.

So the file is useless or is their some other way to get it to work?

Pretty much, unless you use the save file in the exact same old version the save file was made from.

Yupmy save is useless since there's a lot of version changes. Anyways it's not hard to modify your stats once you export the save. Can't really go into further detail while at work but I'll can post a quick guide later on how to modify your stats and the 2 or 3 quest you need to do in order to be able to control your character and get the content you want without randomly ending up as a mishmash of different monsters.

I made other comments here on what quests those are and I think I might have explained the stats cheats previously as well.

That would be helpful if you have the time. The other guide on this thread either wasn't entirely correct or it was outdated.

Does anyone know how to get to the stables because the wiki isn't showing how to get there. Also is Omio still in the game because I've gone to the dry plains and explored until all I get is the scavenging event. However, I did not see the 'For The Future' event that unlocks the Researcher's Studio location.

The stables can be found through the 'Stabled Situation' event in outside exploration. You need to see it two times, and you need chips and soda to get in.

Omio and the related content was removed long ago due to the writer breaking lots of lore stuff.

Ok thank you

I have a few more questions.
First, I'm looking to reset the "Captured Bird" event because when I first encountered the event I chose not to free the bird then saved afterwards.
Second, I'm looking for a way to start the Queen Bee quest.(assuming it is a part of the current version of the game)
Third, Do I have to activate Alt Combat or is it activated by default?

The only way to reset 'Captured Bird' is to save edit the value, but I am not familiar with how to properly change those things, so you might have to try asking in the Discord.

The Queen Bee quest starts with the 'Smashed Hive' event in the park.

Alt Combat are basically enemy only special attacks, and they're always on, though it's only a chance for them to use it during combat.
