from a tester "I keep clicking the arrow key hoping to move"

manually editing the gamestate can get cumbersome otherwise

wenn ich den ofen einschalte, mit dem gefährt rumcruise und der ofen geht wieder aus, bleibt der boiler weiterhin an, wenn ich rechtzeitig nachfülle, ich kann aber nichtmehr rumcruisen.

from tester: "the autoplanner doesn't accout for missclicks?"

The autosolver navigating though menus is not always giving the right instructions for each menu when not followed correctly.
This dampens user experience and should be fixed

was mentioned in discord. Probably a good idea to be more pep8 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/)

A lot of work and will need many sub issues.

The tile based mode is tiny on bigger displays. There should be a zoom option

from tester: "the spawn message should appear?"
When spawning NPCs at a shrine without mana it shows you a message that a NPC was spawned even if that doesn't happen.

iThe reward chat option should be removed after using it

The current satiation display is confusing and when discussing how to change it the it turned out to be complicated, but with little importance to the player.

The conclusion was to replace it with a generalized warning that can cover more cases and needs not to be interpreted by the player.

matvaggots verschwinden als ressourcen, auch wenn man nichts produziet

Near the start of a game you are tasked with claiming epoch rewards, this gives to a list of what to claim.

The first item in this list will be removed when any reward is claimed, which makes it easy to lose track of what to claim if a reward is misclicked or rewards are picked out of order.

Other things to note, it might be nice to know which NPC's of each type currently exist when in the epoch reward menu, but I'm not sure of the design goal here.

If I stand on the red @ in the second room (swampy) and click e to find out what the red @ is, it dies.

got teleported back to main terrain after loading

In the first room there is a goo dispenser. I would expect if I interact (j) with it, that it would do it's thing, which intuitively would be dispensing goo. It should at least say something. If it first tells me after running it, that I can j it and then I can't it's frustrating.

PS: You owe me some goo.

from discord

When trying to run the game, i got errors due to lack of 'fcntl' in urwid.
[10:43]
I'm pretty sure this is because of this line:
[10:43]
try:
import fcntl
import termios
import tty
except ImportError:
pass # windows
[10:43]
Do you know how to avoid this error?

more information needed to reproduce hunt bug. Offending code is not in the game, probably a dependency issue

• Activate a machining table
• Select "produce item"
• Cancel out with the escape key

I'd expect this to exit the menu without performing a task, but instead time is spent creating a machine that produces MetalBar -> None

should allow to observe things (deaths better)

info from: #2

the following chars do not work for this person. The chars are shown in unicode mode

+foodStuffs = ["՞՞","🍖","☠ ","💀","👂","✋"]
+hub = "🜹 "
+vatSnake = "🝇 "
+randomStuff1 = ["🜆 ","🜾 "]
+randomStuff2 = ["🝍🝍","🝍🝍","🝍🝍","🖵 ","🖵 ","🜕 "]
+winch = "🞇 "
+winch_inactive = "🞅 "
+winch_active = "🞇 "

Either the tutorial needs to redo the hotkey lessons a few times that one can remember or one needs a way to look them up again. After just playing 5 mins I think I've learned j,k,J,e. It would also be cool if the keys would be related. Like e - examine makes sense, but why is pickup k?

from issue #39:

"Other things to note, it might be nice to know which NPC's of each type currently exist when in the epoch reward menu, but I'm not sure of the design goal here."

I just happened to misclick and the dialogue continued without any option to go back.

The automatic crash reporting was disabled, it should be reenabled

So, there's a separate window, but it's not doing anything so far. And the game itself seems to load in the shell, just like without -t:

A tester tried to use a menu and did it successful some time and unsccessful some times. The tester was not sure if the whole interaction succeeded or failed.

Each interaction should have given some feedback to allow to see what was successful and what was not
