In reply to comments: You can move items, rotate them, delete them, or move them to the warehouse, by clicking on the bottom right arrow icon, then the 4 icons in the circles next to it (for Plants, Build, Market, & Warehouse), will change to these new options. Simply click the arrow icon again to switch it back.
@Dev: Except for the issues mentioned, I am enjoying playing this game occasionally between other games. However, to make the game more enjoyable, it really does need either: a faster energy system, an increase to your base energy, or preferably both. It could also do with more energy rewards linked to quests - especially as it is currently.
As a player who won't be piling money into the game (or any other, it's not you!), I am slightly concerned about 2 main areas atm: saving up enough tokens for all of the production buildings, and that it looks as though all of the higher level plants require tokens to plant, or at least to enable planting. Basically, I guess this is a 'please don't forget the little guy' (well, gal!), before we get any further into the game!
I'll look forward to seeing how these issues are addressed, and balanced. Thanks!!
Hello, thank you for feedback. Please read next topic regarding the energy system: http://www.kongregate.com/forums/10718-project-restoration/topics/516821-energy-restoration-time . For other suggestions and bugs found you can also use our forum, so we could discuss it in more details.
@Dev: The friends system shouldn't be only for those on your friend list, and not your fans - especially where your own game invite allows you to send requests to random strangers from chat! I use my Kongregate friend list for people I speak to in chat (I'm disabled, it helps!), so adding 20 to 30 random people a day to my friend-list, purely so I can play this game, seems more than a little ridiculous. At the very least, please use the 'Fan' list as well, but really, this shouldn't be dependent on an out-of-game object.
Why are only friends who are already on your list of Kongregate friends added, and not those who add you from the forums/chat? (Especially as the options to send friend invites to those who are not on your friend-list is given.)
Hello, in order to see you newly added friends, please make sure that they also added you to their friendlist and after adding a friend, please refresh your page in order to see him in the game.
If the game displays in the top right of the screen (smaller than normal size), you can correct it by right clicking, then selecting 'zoom in', then 'zoom out'. For a totally black screen right-click and select 'play'.
Hope this helps!
Why has this game been chosen for a BotD, when so many people have issues with a bug that shifts the game screen (down and right), loosing access to the inventory & skills, & therefore making the game unplayable. This has been asked on Void's Profile page MANY times, with no reply forthcoming.
I'd much prefer it if the BotD was used to help support those Devs who DO care about their games, and who respond to comments made by the players!
Game doesn't appear to be adding new friends, or sending/receiving gifts. I have plenty of messages on Kong. from 'Project Restoration', but none of the friends, or gift requests, appear to be showing in the game. Any ideas appreciated! (Feel free to add me if you are playing!)
Would be nice if it showed the amounts of each type of star at the end, as well as the total, to make it easier to see how close you are to gaining achievements (or more to the point, the Hard badge!).
*Repost: Hard Badge Guide:* Day 1 - Max out Trans+Engine+Tires and spend the rest on fuel. Only take your foot off the accelerator if you're going to be off the ground for more than about half a second. Try and keep your wheels parallel to the ground. You should get around 730 ft. Day 2 - Max out fuel, get the autogun and as much ammunition as you can afford. Do the same as before. When you reach the final hill, it's broken into three slopes. You should be able to get part way up the third. If not, restart and try again. Day 3 - Put everything into Boost. Do the same as the previous day, and when you hit the the third slope of the hill, hold boost and fly over the barrels. Credit for this goes to razzfallow, this is how I got the hard badge!
Just as I'm logging off due to lack of energy, first bug: the 2 friends that had appeared so far, have now gone again! Hopefully this will be fixed soon!
Game could do with a way of deselecting items clicked on by mistake (please shout if I'm missing it!). Would also really like it if it would stop throwing me out of full-screen mode (when it wants to send friend invites/quest boasts etc)! To those having issues with moving buildings etc: click on the arrow icon (bottom right of screen), this then changes the options in those 5 circles - to include move, rotate, delete etc. Re. Survived plant: I don't think we can get this at first, they seem to come from tramps etc (the other robots on your base, in the unreachable areas atm).
Just to give a slightly different opinion here! I'm playing for the first time, & do not seem to be experiencing any of the bugs mentioned. I've managed (in this login), to get to level 10 (so a few buildings done, & ground cleared etc.), which provided me with quite a decent amount of play time before finally running out of energy (using up all energy found/provided by quests). I've not put any money into the game, & have only spent red coins on killing insects so far (about 3)! Needs more quests that provide energy, to prevent users heading elsewhere, but - as much as I hate Pay-to-Win games - this game could still avoid that by allowing players to quest for their energy etc. I will wait & see! (Feel free to add me!)
I came to this game due to an invite by Kongregate, & I'm leaving this game due to the limited playing time, & Premium content. That's not to say I won't try it again, but - as I'm someone who dislikes micro-transactions, & wouldn't pay to play - although I may not be someone who would spend a lot of money, I could have been part of a player base, which helped you gain (& deserve) that money. It's a shame that - after the effort put into a game like this - it's then ruined by the fact you can't play for longer than 30 minutes at a time. If you want to make money on a game, make it on additional items (outfits, upgraded building looks etc.), that provide that extra 'something', without turning it into pay-to-win game - true gamers hate that. 3/5 max. as it is.
Great game, loved the graphics, & enjoyed the puzzles (I had a small issue with a couple, such as: beeswax + fuse = candle (should have been string imho, as fuse wire would only last a split second!), & using a (dry?) towel to put out a torch). A full-screen option would be nice for future games. Well done on your inclusion of the subject of mental health (especially as you 'self-corrected' the use of the word 'crazy'!), & the game is easily accessible (really appreciated having no timed sections etc.), so many thanks, & well done! I really hope you are working on more of these games, as this one shows great potential! :) @Kong: 3.9 rating, API available, 5 years on = badge(s)? Please!
*TIPS:* The 'Sack of Sending' can be used if you open a chest, and find your backpack full (send items home from within the 'Chest contains' screen). HP is lower after dying. 'Cast Mapping' skill doesn't seem to be included in the game. 'Walled Cave' Achievement is from white walls only. Artistry can be trained by experimenting at Crafting with 1 item; Use the Shift key to keep a crafting item selected; Disenchanting a socketed item (after placing the gems), gives you a chance at a rare gem. Take a couple of 'Vandal's Sledgehammers' into each dungeon with you - some items are blocked on purpose! (6+ for last map!); Sledgehammers/Bashers only remove one 'square' of furniture - larger items (such as beds, bookcases etc.), will need 2 Bashers to remove the entire item!
Hope this helps some of you!
Just a note to some people posting in game comments: the comments section is for discussing the game, & problems users are having with it etc. When people keep posting multiple comments about the same thing, it makes it really difficult to find the important posts. Most importantly (& the reason I posted this, due to recent comments): if your post is aimed at one person, and isn't about the game, please post it on their profile, or in a PM.
Thanks!
*Tips (*WARNING - SPOILERS*):* The 'doodles' on your Quest arm are more than that: the 'drawing' of a cake becomes crossed out (once you've eaten one); the game of 'hangman' fills in the word 'wurst' (?). There is an easy disguise which makes shop items cheaper (in 1st town at least). BTW You need the sweetie to lure the creature - not the Lollipop (although the description seems to suggest otherwise!). Note: don't miss the scroll-bar on the left hand side of your inventory!
If you have lag, you can change the game quality in the right-click menu.
*@Kong:* As the Hard badge is quite a grind, why not add an extra badge for 'Completed all Achievements' (which would include 100% on all levels etc.). *@Dev:* Many thanks for the surprisingly good Accessibility - was easily played on a touch-pad. Gratz!
