when i try to unscrew the listening machine it tells me "this panel doesn't move"

i'm pretty sure that's a bug cause i buyed a modules called "specrogram" and i can't put them i any of the others device

can someone know what to do ?? is it lock for ever ?

New to the game with some mild idea of what can happen in the game, but I have zero idea if the tutorial pipe choice affects anything, and I don't want to find out later that I'm locked out of some things because of this.

There doesn't seem to be as much as a mention of these in the wiki (or the internet as a whole, based on the lack of anything anywhere I've looked), so I'm stuck.

I LOVE YOU, MONIKA!!!

Drew an Avis & Kel comic for my birthday too, cause why not?

god I love them omfg. my kerfur my kerps...

I can do nothing in my life but wait for my argemia plush from makeship dot com

Its kind of quiet, but it sounds like a trilling machine creature, its day 9 in game [yes I cheated] so I doubt its a crazy monster, especially since I've been hearing it since week one. I would've searched it up but i think typing "weird noise in the forest votv" wouldn't have helped much.

Haven't tried to check since 0.9.0 alpha, and the updates from there didn't seem to include anything new. Does it still stop at the apartment?

Just came across a page with a mod that allows you to add multiplayer to the game, really looking forward to play together with someone! Overall I'm open to conversation and will gladly discuss stuff about the game. If you're against mods, we can just play our own games together discussing stuff.

please observe my creation

I have been finding 3d models online to import into VotV, but the UE is picky about how things are imported for the printer.

Ive been doing conversions and UCX blocks by hand in blender for a while now and it's taking too much time.

With a little assistance from Gemini, I made an app to handle all of it for me.

You can:

1. import file types such as OBJs, fbx, gltf, STL, etc.

2. Choose a friendly name that applies across the obj, UCX, pngs, and output folder.

3. Adds a basic UCX block automatically. (Issues with pre-existing UCX, double UCX) (Also just a basic block, nothing fancy, stretches from top most to bottom most points on the model)

4. Join all objects into 1 solid automatically.

5. Scale against properly sized references (obj versions of in-game props, including the banana)

6. Reduce faces

7. Cap texture pngs to preset aspect ratios (512*512, 1024*1024, etc.) while ensuring PNG conversion. (Works on multiple pngs such as diffuse_, roughness_, metallic_, all at the same time) (Will convert jpeg and BMO types automatically)

8. Export all files with the proper naming scheme and folder structure.

I don't know much of how to script, but did somehow manage to get a functional GUI going in python and packaged into a portable exe in a zip. It does contain converted obj versions of in-game items/props for scaling purposes, and it does contain the portable version of blender 5.2.2.0 for headless background conversions.

It works best with single texture objects. Meaning objects with separate texture pngs for hair and arms, etc. won't work or will be otherwise texturless as votv doesn't care about mtls.

the tutorial is evil bro

Ive been trying my hand at making and downloading random 3d models and 'fixing' them for import (scaling, decimating, joining, converting, etc.).

I was wondering what in-game existing items/props most people would prefer to use for references.

I've been using the signal desk ripped from UModel, scaled to 100%. Now everything I scale against the desk is accurate when imported.

I do the same with the drive model for smaller object imports.

I'm just curious as to if any of you had another prop/item in mind.

i keep trying to bake pizza but nothing happens to the ingredients other than the dough cooks into flatbread. im putting 4 cheese cubes and 4 tomato slices into the oven with the dough. (i also tried varying the toppings im putting them with but that didnt change anything other than the shrimp cooked itself too)
