Saving seems to be working for me on chrome but not firefox, I suggest everyone to play on chrome instead... will keep looking into firefox, might just be my firefox, don't know yet. thanks!
Seems like it may just be my firefox, tried another computer with firefox and it seemed to work, PS: there are 2 save systems, so even if your game says "No Save Found" still click play and see if you have a game, Other than that, we will be considering making the saves for this game and all future games, sever based, to avoid these issues. Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback, if you could, would you please comment or PM me and explain what you mean in more detail? We don't know what your talking about, with no other information. Thanks!

I tested the saving, seems to keep my save for a little while and then deletes the save, so playerprefs are a no go either, I am done messing with WebGL I said it once and I will say it again, WebGL is unstable, hints why most of these other WebGL games have you create an account, because the saves are server based, and for me to go back and make all the saving into server based saving, would be ridiculous, I will be exporting this final version to PC on gamejolt, because PC has no problems with saving, Also another note about WebGL, I would be able to fix the saving super easy if WebGL would allow writing files to the machine... but that is a security risk they say... seems people ruin everything

my main complaint is that i can't tell how many Research points i have when not on the research tab. quite frustrating when trying to launch a probe!
We did not "Sell Out" we just have a sponsor now, and I think you would have done the same thing, if you were in my shoes. The game is still Dead Serious Bros, so nothing has really changed...

well my game had been saving and loading just fine but now with this new update something happened and my file has been lost. :( I might come back and play again if something big changes but Im just a little disappointed to start over now. Thank you for creating a fun game though and I hope you make improvements to this or another game of equal quality <3

save has not worked ... just restarts
Also i wish the graphics in the upgrade menu were more sleak ... they look condensed and stuff ... items that are not available to you at the time should be hidden until further use is needed.

Game takes like 2 minutes to load, and used 130mbs of my mobile data. That's two episodes worth of data streaming a freaking t.v. show on my laptop. Needless to say, once I close the page, I won't be coming back to this game. It's the only game I've come across that is so data hungry.
I am sorry this happened but it is not my fault how you chose to use your data, you can very clearly see how big the game is and see it downloading, you could have very easily just closed the page out, before the game fully downloaded... All I could do to help with this issue is lower the games size, but in turn that would make the game look horrible... I suggest that you stay on the mobile section here on kongregate to conserve your data... thanks.
I will look into lowering the price for truck capacity, although you can earn more $ by converting your RP into $ in the research tab. Thanks for the comment/feedback :D
Sure thing! that is a good idea, we will add this into the next update. Thank you for the comment/feedback :D EDIT: added credits button, most of the songs came from public domain sites, so the authors will be hard to find, but I will try to get around to adding more author names, etc.

So, how does one load a previously saved game? I don't see a "Load Game" button, and whenever I open the game it starts a new one so if it's supposed to load automatically then that's not working.
Update 3.6O - Overhauled the saving, now the saving will automatically load if a save is present, when loading the main menu, the game auto saves over time, or you can press save before closing. Thanks!

Production Bonus is VERY underpowered, seeing as it only adds like 0.1% to production for a relatively high price.
Also, to further prevent cluttering, I suggest hiding instructions behind hoverable buttons. E.g. hovering over an upgrade-button triggers a text balloon telling the user what the upgrade does.
As stated in the comment below, we will be changing the text to hovering tool-tips in a future update :D Other purchases also count towards production, but we will look into lowering the price for production bonus upgrade, Thanks for the feedback/comments :) | EDIT: Update 3.2, we have tried to balance the Production bonus so that you don't have to spend as much as you work towards the final upgrade, and also tool tips!

The game is actually pretty fun, and pretty unique, especially for just starting out. My biggest issue is that the giant walls of text are pretty abrasive. And the scrollbar description is just ugly and unnecessary. You should have a "?" in the corner of each screen to explain individual elements. Either that or tooltips when you hover over an upgrade. Also, not knowing how much an upgrade is going to boost by is quite a no-no. For example, I "Smoke stack: Earn production when bought!" How much? Is it worth it when you're starting out? That said, the game plays pretty well, except for some balance issues (to be expected early on)
thanks, We will change the walls of text to tool-tips in a future update, You can click the help button on the Main HUD and see that buying smoke stack: earns $250 to production, although I understand what you mean. Thanks, and yes we are still trying to balance the game, thank you for the feedback/comments :D | EDIT: Update 3.2 We have replaced the text sliders with tooltips, so when you hover over a button it tells you the information about that button/UI, and we have also added how much some of the upgrades go up by, so you can tell how much you are getting from that upgrade! thanks again for the suggestion/feedback! :D

Nice Work so far.
But , its nothing to do after buying the 5 upgrades in the Prestige-Shop .
No use for further fragments .
Why can i use the potato time orb only once per reset ?
Highscores for solved export orders in difference difficulty would be nice !
the fragments will be used in further expansions to the game, I will look into the potato time orb, and that is a good idea, we will implement the orders with the high-scores in a future update :) Thanks for the feedback/comments :D | EDIT: Update 3.2 has high-scores for the Exports, and added another button to the prestige! :D

Scratch that, it doesn't run properly in wine, I think it's down to the Unity environment, but it seems to be working just fine on Kong now, I have my prestige purchase, time to get back to playing this promising game :)
I am sorry to hear that it is not running in wine now, I can export the game to linux as well and upload it to gamejolt, if you would still like a downloadable version of the game :D and thanks :)

Scroll wheel for the hide HUD should be locked when the HUD is up, otherwise scrolling through instructions, scrolls the potato farm camera too.
We will add this to the fixes for the next update :D thanks for the feedback/comment. | EDIT: Update 3.2 has the scroll wheel locked when the HUD is up and more! Thanks! :D

Nice one, I.P.2 runs in Wine just fine, if you're using a Linux distro, you'll need to move both the unpacked file and the executable into a folder together.
Download from here.

Again, good game.
Thanks :D and glad to hear that it runs for you in wine, I do not own a linux or a mac, so exporting the game in those platforms is hard for me to test. Thank you for letting everyone know how to download the file on Linux! :) again, thank you for the complements! :D I hope that you continue to enjoy Idle Potato 2!

Hi again, didn't see the previous comments about idle potato 2 being downloadable, I'll give it a go and see if it will run in Wine.

Ascended once, well on my way to a second ascension, now my save has gone.
I'm a little disappointed, to be honest, I was enjoying the game.
I've not purged my browser or wiped or updated anything, something I have to do manually as I am a Linux user.
Other games are fine at the moment (I play a few here on Kong), their saves are intact.
Maybe an 'import' and 'export' button to save future mistakes?
Thanks for the game though, it looks good, plays well and has a nice feel to it.
While we are very sorry you lost your save :( , we are glad that it is working for you as an .exe . We were hoping that anyone that was having problems here on Kongregate, would be able to play it as an .exe and it seems that it is working for the moment :D Thank you for your kind words, and suggestion, about Idle Potato 2! Being a 2 man team, just one person saying they really enjoyed the game, makes it all worth it!!! :)

Walls of text straight into boring play with some weird/confusing views and UI along the way. Notice how most games look...not like this one? There's a reason for that.
The *Walls of text* are for people to understand how to play the game, you pretty much just talked trash on every person that suggested we add more information to the game to make it more accessible for everyone!!!! *straight into boring play with some weird/confusing views and UI along the way.* I think the way we made our game is just fine! I do not understand what you mean by weird/confusing views, I think it is awesome that we actually have a 3D area for you to view, as you progress and unlock more, it gives the feeling of accomplishing something! and boring gameplay, you just pretty much described 90% of Idle games!!!! I don't think that statement holds much weight! and yes there is a reason our game looks different from all the others................. WE ARE UNIQUE!!!!!!!!! everyone is, and so are there outlooks, if you can't understand that, you are just ignorant! - Thanks

The balance is so off, why have 10 trucks when rate off falling potatoes is maxed so low??? Now my trucks just stand and wait for a potato to fall down!
When we changed the Potato Profit upgrade, it made it easier for the trucks to collect the potatoes, because the health of the potato is less. We may consider changing this around to make it more balanced, but that is what is causing them to be collected so quick, and the spawner not being able to keep up with the collecting. Thank you for the comment/feedback :)

For anyone that is having problems playing or saving, We ported Idle Potato 2 to PC for those people! https://gamejolt.com/games/Idle-Potato-2/288116 We are sorry to those that had saving and playing issues, The PC version should save and play perfectly fine, thank you all for playing Idle Potato 2 and for all the feedback :D
Glad to hear you have figured it out, sorry would have answered you sooner but we (Dead Serious Bros) are busy atm exporting Idle Potato 2 to PC for Gamejolt to help those who are having trouble playing it here on Kongregate! Thank you for the comment! :D

Research goo doesn't work for me most of the time. With some 8k RP and 3k $ it still gives me that nice error sound nearly all the time. Sometimes I can buy one or two, but then it's back to not functioning.
I will go ahead and answer this anyways, you have to purchase planets on the space map after launching your first "Space Potato Probe", to earn goo! The image to the right of the research bar shows how much goo you currently have! Thanks for the comment! :)

Damn man. Played the game for a few hours then Unity crashed. Though I had saved multiple times, no save remains. I'm a bit too sour about it to start all over again. It was a good game for what's it's worth.
We are going to upload a PC version of the game for people that cannot play the WebGL version and/or saving problems. I will update everyone with a link to it, very soon. Thanks for playing Idle Potato 2 and we are sorry for the issues people are having, Seems like WebGL is still buggy since 2015-2016 XD

This could be a decent minimal incremental, but there are some big issues. 1) The UI is hideous. It is chore to decipher and some useful is no where to be found. Like RP per second, for example. 2) Export factory unlocking is pointless. You have to unlock them all, there are no partial shipments after the first. It might as well be an unlock for all at once. 3) Unskippable cutscenes. If you unlock prestige, let people skip them. 4) Waiting for goo. After a while, you are just stuck waiting for goo with nothing to do. Becomes worse after prestiges. 5) Balance could use work in a lot of places. 6) Too much clicking for upgrades / research. Needs a max/multibuy. Again as an example, you have to research goo like 200-250 times which is just pure clicking.
No, currently we don't have offline gains. The game is not too long(you do prestige though), so there is no reason to have this, because when you beat the game you reset all of your stuff to get a potato time fragment(to spend in the prestige shop and purchase 4 permanent upgrades), so you would not even keep your offline gains anyways... but we will consider adding this in a future update! Thank you for the comment! :D

i forgot the keybinds and now i dont know what they are... and the potato refiners are really expensive and take quite a long time to just get 1
I will edit the controls on Kongregate so people can see them there as well :D After you get both it will refine 2 at a time, Also the prestige shop has a permanent upgrade for refinery, thanks for the comment/feedback :) EDIT: added the controls in the instructions tab here on Kongregate.

wont let me play at all. on firefox gives me the error cant load object thing and on chrome it freezes right after the rocket hits the planet when you first start the game. I was a fan of the first idle potato and really want to play this one but as it stands i cant play it.
Thank you for letting us know about this issue, please re-load the game and "In Firefox, you can open the JavaScript console by pressing Ctrl-Shift-K on Windows or Command-Option-K on a Mac

Can you please make the rocket launch sound either susceptible to the mute, or at least less persistent. Thanks for the game.
Yes we can! :D We are already working on making the sounds stop playing when you press the sound button in the HUD! Thank you for the comment/suggestion, and for playing Idle Potato 2!
The sound button for the rockets are above the actual 3D models, all you have to do is press that button and it should cut the sound off to the rockets. We made it like this so you can cut the rocket sound off, but still hear the UI sounds(clicking a button, etc...). We may add in there, if you click the sound button on the HUD it will also cut the rockets off, that will leave the best of both! Thank you for the feedback, I hope this helped you with the sounds!

Yes, I must agree that my computer is running like ait s2002 again. I can't even fix htis spellling the input lag is so bad.
Some of the lag is from the ads on the webpage, that I can not help, you can use an ad blocker and see if that helps at all, but other than that we are working on the performance and size of the game, for a future update. Thanks for the comment :D
We are sorry to hear that the game is running your machine hard, we are trying to lower the poly count to help with performance more. The next update should include this, please let us know if this helps you!
Update 3.6O - Saving overhaul - Game saves automatically or you can save with the save button, and the game loads the save if present on the main menu, thanks!
that song is from 1940's it is not "horrible" it is "retro" I am sorry you do not like that song though, it is a little hard to find a song from the 40's that sings about potatoes... XD so this one was closes to it. Thanks for the comment :D
