Also when building the ship, a few times it said i completed the part when i only gave 2 things instead of 3 (so if it asked for 100a, 50b and 300c and i gave it 100a and 300c it closed itself and said its done) [i]-Nameless[/i] [b]A:[/b] We've fixed the bug with the tooltips, thanks for pointing that out. As for filling the Catopia Ark, it does not require all the items, just a bunch for you to select from. You can see the overall amount of items needed in the tooltip. A friendly reminder: don't forget about our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/app/1150090]collection of items in Steam Points Shop[/url]! Sergei the artist makes wonderful factory art to be observed from above, but his works' magic really shows at close-up perspective: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/app/1150090][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38078557/0d1f09e033433669468e96f07b2fbf55f61437ff.png[/img][/url] [h1]----------------------[/h1] [h2]How to Get More Involved[/h2] [url=https://ludenio.substack.com][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38078557/e46a2bc47cfbfeb2b10df8abaf7a2eb73a86fdc1.jpg[/img][/url] At Luden.io, we develop games while constantly listening to the feedback from our awesome players.
