Does anyone know how to transfer the saves over to the new updates?
When ever I download the new update for some reason it doesn't have the previous saves I've had.
The instructions are just very hard to understand as I've never done this before, I am usually a steam player but seeing this game come out on here made me want to buy it instantly.
hi... i think ive got a bug that doesnt let me go at normal speed... when using allure ability just in the moment when getting kidnaped for low hp... youre get stuck with those stuning effects even if theres not any persistent status aliment on kivuli... tested in v0.114... is there a way to fix that bug manually or should i wait for you to update the game??
OK, I think I missed an area. I went through a full playthrough and never saw the Lurkers or Seastrider Kai--I'm told that they are in a "cave" and "underground", but the closest thing I can find is the Underground River area under the dungeon at the Glistening Streams, and that seems empty.
(Also, is there a way to find a key for the door at the back of the fisherman's shack that sometimes appears in the Glistening Streams?)
There's a place that requires 3x rope bundles, which will lead you down to a cave. The cave most certainly isn't empty... you need to do some jumping, some sliding down ramps, and some looking for items to build a noisy distraction...
I've been waiting for this update since last year, and enjoy both this and Grove. There's a substantial chunk of new content, and I like it a lot, and the plot development. I like the dynamic of having various third parties other than you and Interloper-controlled creatures, whether they are allies from the start (Hu-Mina) or able to be won over (the snakes).
And the defeat scenes are hot. Can't forget that, of course. :)
I had a few comments/suggestions, which are mostly not about the main gameplay itself, but the UI:
Menuing feels a little clunky--it seems like there are more menu steps to get something done than needed. Some of this feels like "game engine defaults", so I don't know how easy they are to change--but if you can change them, they would help make the player experience feel smoother overall. A few examples:
Exploration menu - it would be great to just have a single list of all possible destinations (or, one for main destinations and one for side destinations), and be able to select the one we want. As it is, to get to the Swamp we end up having to select "Next" several times, each of which loads a new menu with a single option.
Crafting - I played last year's version, and allowing crafting using materials from storage is a welcome improvement. Ideally, the crafting menu would (1) not have a separate display/craft submenu for each individual item, but rather would display all the info upon *highlighting* the item, and select-to-craft, and (2) give a handy heads-up display not just of the required materials, but how many of each you have (including both inventory and storage). That way I don't have to remember the recipe, check inventory, *and* check storage to figure out what materials I still need.
Related to menuing is text speed. I'd appreciate a configuration option for instant text speed--but at the very least, consider instant text for non-dialogue (e.g. for showing the description/recipe when crafting). Yes, I realize I can just press a button, but why make me press that button?
These seem like little things, and they are--but they add up over the course of a playthrough and I think can make the game *feel* a lot better to play.
I answered the survey question about play time, but I wanted to caution against using raw play time as a metric without context. The things I mentioned above--as well as things other commenters have mentioned about limited storage etc. causing a bit of a feeling of "grind"--serve to artificially lengthen play time, but reduce the quality of that play time.
Despite how much of the above is criticism, though, rest assured that I do enjoy the game and am looking forward to future updates!
GroveDevs, Firstly Id like to say what an incredible experience! The combat system is very different takes some adjusting but I found I quite enjoy it.
I don't know if its just me or if this is a genuine bug but my characters spines/arrows will auto fire almost every time when closing any in game menu. What could I try to remedy this problem?
A bit of a long wait but the experience I've had thus far with the game feels well thought out very awesome work to all of you ^^
Thanks for waiting, playing, for the kind words and praise!
Regarding your bug, can you confirm what button you're pressing to close the menu? And if you're using keyboard or controller? We've had one other person mention this but they didn't provide any further info...
Absolutely! I'm on the keyboard. The esc button, the mouse scroll wheel button and even the interaction button "e" to close out any in game menu triggers the spine to launch. But every now and then it doesn't but it's really random when it does.
7/10, Solid game its a little difficult to understand where to go at times but not that bad to figure out. The shard prices are a bit annoying with how little shards you get and selling stuff it not really worth it.
Overall its fun but a little grindy if you get stuck with certain cursed equipment especially when you lose all your stuff.
Hello! Been a while since I played an entertaining game like this, I played the full game and spent ~20 hours to complete almost everything. My biggest critics for now is that the grind is to much, you can increase the base storage (pouch and camp) by 5 and it would help or make the Merchants reputation easier to get but now we arrive at my biggest and most annoying system, the shards. The prices are to high and so I don't feel sorry that I cheated and got myself about 10k of them and resonating crystals because 500 for a disenchant is robbery! And i know it's just aesthetics but it's kinda a big part of the game appeal as i wanted to see how a fully acce'd Kivu would look like (not that good with everything on but still hot). I love the game and can't wait for the next act! P.S. if the economy is still broken in the future I still won't feel bad to cheat.
hey I'm having some trouble storming the fortress, I get in and stay hidden from the targeting gun as best I can until I shut it off and then I have to face the boss, but by the time I get there that targeting gun took all of my health and my only waterskin and a full stack of berries so by the time I get to the boss I'm at a sliver of health and I have nothing to heal with, do you have any tips or anything I should backtrack to do to prepare, I am using the jungle armor because I couldn't find any other schematics besides wrist guards dropped by a bug if there are any other items or upgrades I should get please let me know because I'm stuck here.
A pretty easy set of schematics to get are the rubber set, all you need to do is build 4 sheers (like the one you used to get to the boat in swampland) and open the 4 locked chests on the map (1 is in a random start room). you will need a lot of rubber but it's a good set to have. And regarding the gun, if you pay close attention it has a 3 burst fire followed by a cooldown that you can use to your advantage.
If you can craft the bowgun and/or better armor, that might help--unfortunately I don't recall where I picked up the schematics/parts. Other than that, apples heal a bit more than berries, and play around with cooking--there are some foods that slightly increase your speed, attack, and defense, and last all day. So you can eat them in the morning and still carry a full stack of healing items.
For the automated turret, the key is to stay in the shadows or behind cover. Use your dash ability to get between shadows, and once you start getting close to the turret, pay attention to the timing. If it can see you (green targeting reticle), it fires three times and then pauses--so get in a location where it can target you but there's something blocking its fire, let it shoot the obstacle three times, and then you have a few seconds to push the block before getting back behind cover again.
The large enemy in the cave shouldn't disappear on its own. You will be able to discover him if you simply walk to the area where he is... maybe you can see his shadow?
There may be a French translation later, we have a volunteer who is working on such a thing, but it will take a while I'm afraid. We have no estimated time of release.
How to use ranged weapons 🤔 I equipped the bow, the arrows are in my inventory, I clicked to choose the wanted arrow but on the screen was showing 0 ammo (and yes, I do know how to switch ranged weapons).
Sorry for my stupidity but where did I do wrong? 😥
You can find the schematic for Flimsy Shears in the lair of the serpentfolk, deeper in the swampland. You'll need to do some 'hidden' jumps across the water, and knock down some wooden bridges to get there.
Will the game get some mutators at some point? Like disabling losing inventory on expedition loss, or have infinite storage at base. Right now I find myself being held back a lot of tedious inventory management.
Hey I wonder if we can have easier access to more shards in end game? I want to get all the accessories but that requires A LOT of shards, let alone the crystals. Grinding really kinda ruins the fun. Really appreciated if the accessories could be easier to unlock.
played into it a bit and really like it tho i have a little issue. it runs very laggy for me (and im pretty sure its not my pcs fault cause it handles bigger/heavier games with ez)...any tips on how one might change that cause there are some situations where that becomes really anoying. im losing pretty much every grapple/escape minigame thanks to it
Make sure you're on the most recent game version, if you aren't already. Also make sure you aren't running the game off of an external harddrive or a USB or anything like that.
In terms of grapples, if it helps at all for the left-right one, try not to spam the buttons super fast. You want to go at a rhythm, about 240bpm or so.
Otherwise... we're really not sure what to say. We've been wrestling with the game's node webkit version, trying to find the version that is the most performant, but what works for some is worse for others... really sorry about this, truly.
love the game but i got to ask is there a gallery pland for the game at some point so you dont have to beat the game 1s ? so you can look at what you unlock wile you play. or a intro skip for plp that got to start over and just start at the big tree?
Thanks for playing. I'm afraid we have no intentions of bringing the gallery forward. We've considered an intro skip but.. such a thing can get quite messy and buggy, so we've opted against it for now.
I bought the game then played it for a good ammount of time i dragged it to my home page of my screen I dont know if that did it but evry time i try to play the game it just says i need to extrract the files, so i do it but it just say i need to extract the files over and over again. if someone could tell me the problem that would be great
When downloaded, you need to right click the folder and extract the contents of the game into its own separate folder. Running the game directly from the ZIP will cause your saves to not be retained when closing out the game.
Alternatively using the itch.io launcher to download the game will allow you to run it directly from there without hassles.
You need to have the second Seastrider quest active in order to unlock the source of the second relic fish. They're always in fixed locations separate from the normal fishing spots so keep an eye out for one with a purple spark.
IIRC You get chance buy visit leftside of steam map(cabin one), southern one of savannah map or buy from fisherman from cave in the southern part of stream map(part that require 3 rope to access)

where can i find serrated blade scrap?
You can get them from the swamp land from either defeating the lizards or buying them from the shop after helping the lizard leader.
will mac version be made?
Yes! We hope to have a MacOS version available in a few weeks time.
Yay!!! Thank you!
Am i just blind? can't find the broken claw to make the stitched sheets for the shelter at my camp site.
Broken Claws drop from "Chargers". They're an enemy that doesn't appear until you have defeated the pink spitter miniboss inside of the cave in the Stream!
thanks!

It's nothing crazy complicated. Here's the best way to do it.
Download the newest version of the game. DON'T delete your prior version yet.
In the prior version, open the game's folder, then the 'www' folder, then the 'save' folder.
Copy EVERYTHING inside of the 'save' folder.
Now, go to the new version you downloaded. Open the 'www' folder, then the 'save' folder.
And paste all of your saves into this folder!
I did this and it worked, tysm. Great game and great devs
hi... i think ive got a bug that doesnt let me go at normal speed... when using allure ability just in the moment when getting kidnaped for low hp... youre get stuck with those stuning effects even if theres not any persistent status aliment on kivuli... tested in v0.114... is there a way to fix that bug manually or should i wait for you to update the game??
Try going to the Rouser plant (the pink flower in the swamp) and wait for the lust gauge to max out. My speed returned to normal after that. v0.114
thanks godness for your fastest answer!! ill try it rn...
edit: thanks you so much!! finally i can run again...
OK, I think I missed an area. I went through a full playthrough and never saw the Lurkers or Seastrider Kai--I'm told that they are in a "cave" and "underground", but the closest thing I can find is the Underground River area under the dungeon at the Glistening Streams, and that seems empty.
(Also, is there a way to find a key for the door at the back of the fisherman's shack that sometimes appears in the Glistening Streams?)
All your questions are related.

Good luck.
I am rich in rubbery straps, but i can't find where to get rubbery slabs T.T
Once you help the snakes, there will be a trader you can get them from.
i helped the snakes but i don't see any rubbery slabs :/
im using the shop in the snake's main den area, i see a bunch of things to buy, but no rubbery slabs
there's a vendor that takes rubbery slabs or straps, i can find a ton of straps, but no slabs
That vendor isn't taking them, he's GIVING you them in exchange for Tar Sap plants.
You need to find Tar Sap from plants in the Swamplands, or buy it from the Shaman Kwolo.
Then you bring 4 Tar Sap to the snake vendor, and he'll trade it FOR a Rubbery Slab if you select it.
guys am stuck I cant find scaletree bark chunk :)
On trees in the Stream locale. Look for a bluish outline on free-standing trees.
Dumb question, how do i get leather chestbinds off? :D
Need to find the Shaman, Kwolo, and ask for his removal services!
Oh right! Thank you.
Also, how do i get an accessory case?
oh nvm!
how did you get an accessory case?? i would like to know too...
It's under Pouch->Utilities. (It might show up only after you meet Kwolo; not sure.)

I'm loving it! Quick question, can you get the guy out of the cage in the bandit camp?
Sorry, you can't free that fella.
What about the Reaver that's being held in the Savannah camp?
He cannot be freed in this current version.

Trying to play this, but between the lag and having to use a point and click combat it became to frustrating to even pass the tutorial.
So hopefully in a next patch the lag is fixed.
But the point and click combat is annoying for having to use a laptop mouse, and no access to other controls
You can use an Xbox Controller if you have one, which may make things easier.
Also make sure you're not playing the game off of a USB or external hard-drive since that is a big cause of laggy performances.
我真的沉迷于这个游戏，我迫不及待地想玩 Grove 的第 3 章，Prowler的第二张地图是否有任何更新，有更多的配件和服装？
A huge enemy that was supposed to be in the cave has disappeared on its own!
Is it possible to meet him?
There will be a gallery when you complete the game to view missed scenes. You can also revert to a previous save if you need to.
Does the current version no longer disappear on its own?
I don't quite understand your question.
The large enemy in the cave shouldn't disappear on its own. You will be able to discover him if you simply walk to the area where he is... maybe you can see his shadow?
Sorry.
I may have looked at it wrong.
I will try again with another saved data!
Whats the sound at night ı cant find the source
They are vines on trees in the starting area.
The game seems to be incredible but the problem is that I have difficulty speaking English and I wonder if there will be a French version?
Because that's what stops you from buying the games.
There may be a French translation later, we have a volunteer who is working on such a thing, but it will take a while I'm afraid. We have no estimated time of release.
Dumb question ahead!!!
How to use ranged weapons 🤔 I equipped the bow, the arrows are in my inventory, I clicked to choose the wanted arrow but on the screen was showing 0 ammo (and yes, I do know how to switch ranged weapons).
Sorry for my stupidity but where did I do wrong? 😥
You need to hit Reload. That's the 'R' key or the 'X' button if you're on controller.
Step out of your tent and try reloading.
What should I do to enter the next stage after the swamp queen is over?
Check your Tasks. It should explain what to do.
I want to find a scissor drawing to pierce the blocked area, where can I find it?
You can find the schematic for Flimsy Shears in the lair of the serpentfolk, deeper in the swampland. You'll need to do some 'hidden' jumps across the water, and knock down some wooden bridges to get there.
很棒的游戏，希望能加速发布中文补丁，我已经厌倦了使用翻译器玩游戏！
We hope to have some translations completed by the end of the month...!

btw how can I get Resonance Crystals?
Okay I know now. Defeat the green monsters in savanna and there is a very small chance to obtain the crystal. The drop rate sucks
Cleared the game. AND as a little tiny hamster, I really hope to REMOVE the capacity cap of the base chest！LOL
played into it a bit and really like it tho i have a little issue. it runs very laggy for me (and im pretty sure its not my pcs fault cause it handles bigger/heavier games with ez)...any tips on how one might change that cause there are some situations where that becomes really anoying. im losing pretty much every grapple/escape minigame thanks to it

oh thats actually helpful already ^^
im to used to the "just fucking spam it" tactic for the left and right thing from other games that probably is the reason why im failing there XD
will also try pulling it of the external drive and see if that helps. ^^
love the game but i got to ask is there a gallery pland for the game at some point so you dont have to beat the game 1s ? so you can look at what you unlock wile you play. or a intro skip for plp that got to start over and just start at the big tree?
Thanks for playing. I'm afraid we have no intentions of bringing the gallery forward. We've considered an intro skip but.. such a thing can get quite messy and buggy, so we've opted against it for now.
Tried the Demo and just bought the game. Will my save be accessible in future updates? (Love the concept, keep up the good work. : D)
We'll aim to have all saves of ACT 1 compatible with future builds. Thanks for giving it a go!
