If you use a steam machine, steam will run in the big picture mode. To change to the release_preview version you have to do this: Click on Manage Game right under the Niche Logo and then click on Select Beta Button and select the release preview branch. When it says missing executable, you should probably reinstall the game as something went wrong.

@Lunala This looks like a serious problem. The save files should not disappear or get corrupted after an update. Steam does not touch the savefiles. What was the bug that made you re-install the game?

Nice! If you visit zürich next time you can drop by at our studio

Hmm weird. But it's working now? Should run pretty smooth with your specs.

Hehe What places are you planning to visit it Switzerland? Or is it just a short stop

No the release preview branch also works on Mac and Linux. The only place we don't do Betas is on GoG.

It's not real, but still cute

Just press it once, it will then show a creating GIF text in the bottom right of the screen. You could try to change the speed of the gif by uploading it here: https://ezgif.com/speed

@AtomicLizzie Press F1 (or Fn + F1 if you have a laptop) to open up the command console. Then just start typing and it should show you suggestions. But be careful, using the command console can break the game and make the savefiles corrupt! So better create a new save first.

Hey pack We now have a release candidate for the new update on the release preview branch. There are some problems when loading a savefile from 1.1.0 or 1.1.1 where it can reset or change the unlock progress of some of the genes. Unfortunately we cannot fix this for the preview version. Savefiles started with the 1.0.7 version and new saves from 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 are not affected by this bug. Here are the patch notes. Bugfixes: Toggling ui should not disable all messages anymore Fixed port color for crossing island Try to water dig Interaction should now work again Blood clotting should now not unlock right from the start We fixed a bug, so savefiles should not dissapear anymore The "Invite Eve" tutorial step is not skipped anymore Fixed that you get stuck in a whale island loop (Always ports to the whale Island) Purrsnout is now correctly displayed in the family tree When chaning a Nichelings name 1,2 or 3 will no longer toggle the senses. Fixed an UI Bug when the savegames have too long names Improvements: Lowered default animal texture resolution for people with less than 4GB RAM Added a texture for weather antennas Added a texture for skorpion tails and peacock tail Added model for female peacock tail Added a model and a nicer particle effect for the whale blowhole The whale island now has a different port color Travelling to new island UI should be displayed better The whale Island now has medium difficulty How to switch to the preview branch If you want to jump right in and help with bugtesting, please switch to the preview branch on Steam. Here is how:– Open your Steam library– Right click on Niche– Click on properties– Select the Beta tab– Select the release_preview branch from the drop down– Restart Steam if the game does not update– Let the game update– Open Niche and play Please keep reporting bugs! We opened a sub forum for the current version (1.1.3), so if you find any bugs in this version, please post them there! Please consider to add screenshots and/or .log files and save files in your bug reports. Thank you all for testing the game! If we don't find any major bugs we will set the update live next thursday Cheers Stray Fawn Studio

@MR. M THE GREAT Your gifs are somehow double the speed If you record them with the ingame feature they should last 6 seconds.

Will be fixed in the next version

Fixed in next version

Good Idea #savetheplanet

Thanks, will be fixed in the next update

What Commands exactly were you using @WereWolfeKai @Purring_Raspberry when this happened ?

Thanks for the report This will be fixed in the next version.

Unfortunately nothing about the crash in the logfile. It would be cool if you could find the 2018-05-26_181152 folder. It contains another output log and crash log we could analyze. If you find it, please attach them here The folder should be next to the Niche.exe where your steam apps are stored. For example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Niche\Windows\64Bit

This is fixed in the new Version (coming soon)

Thanks, will be fixed in the next version

@GryffBirb This sounds like a problem with your graphics card. Have you tried updating the graphic card drivers?

When the updates is released you will get it even if you are on the release preview. It always has the newest version.

Ah I see you use the big picture mode Click on Manage Game right under the Niche Logo and then click on Select Beta and select the release preview.

I'm currently working on this. One thing I'd like to have is heat resistant armor parts that won't heat up fast so you can protect your weaker parts by building a wall around them. One possible way for this could be to upgrade the normal blocks (or change some settings on them) instead of adding new parts. I'm not sure yet how to do active cooling. Maybe some sort of liquid cooling could also be nice?

Cool idea to use springs to make the snake more robust
