I like the game, how can I help?
Thank you! There are a couple of ways in which you can support the game if you want to do so:
- If you encounter a bug in-game, please report it using the in-game tool.
- If you encounter something that confused you or that you did not understand, please also report it using the in-game tool.
- If you like the game, please leave a review on Steam to let others know. Feel free to mention things you would like to see improved until release.
- If you are fluent in a language that is not supported yet, you can help by translating. Visit our Discord server for more information. (discord.gg / kubifaktorium)
- If you like modding and are interested to make something, give it a go!
Finally, tell your friends, favorite streamer etc. about it! It really helps. :)

Technical Issues
Where / how should I submit bug reports?
If you encounter a bug, please use the in-game bug reporting tool (icon in the top right corner). This will allow you to submit a report which includes a screenshot of the game, the game's log and some more helpful info. If your bug can be reliably replicated, please include instructions on how to do so in the report. You can also make a save file when the issue happens - I might ask you for it later on (given that you provide an email address).
If sending a bug report is not an option, e.g. because the game crashes, please contact me on the Discord server (discord.gg / kubifaktorium) or post here in the Steam forum.

How do I reset the game's settings?
Delete the settings.ini and/or the resolution.ini in the following folder to reset the settings/video settings changed in-game:
Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\MirkoStudio\Kubifaktorium\...
Linux: /.config/unity3d/MirkoStudio/Kubifaktorium/

My game does not start...
a) Please make sure that your GPU drivers are up to date...
b) Try uninstalling/reinstalling the game...
c) Please check that your system fulfils the minimum system requirements.

The game gets laggy after playing for multiple hours...
This issue seems to be specific to certain systems. Fortunately it can be fixed easily: Just save the game, quit and restart, then the lag should be gone.

My game is not updated on MacOS.
Please have a look at this thread:

How can I get support?
The fastest way to get support/help is usually the Discord server. Alternatively you can post it here in the Steam forum or contact me via email (info@bossconstructor.de).
Note that I only support the vanilla/base game, i.e. the game without mods installed.

Modding
How does modding work?
The game was built to be moddable and plenty of mods are already available in the Steam Workshop. While there are no plans to support script modding at this point, it is possible to...
- Add new items, workshops, production chains etc.
- Add new animals, terrain types and biomes.
- Add new sounds and music.
- Add new story missions / campaigns similar to the one in the game.
- Rebalance / change the data of the game.

How do I get started with modding?
Getting started with modding is pretty easy. You can find all the information you need to get started here: https://kubifaktorium.fandom.com/wiki/Modding
There is also a video demonstrating how you can add an apple tree and apples as an example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGBVftaiiA
All the tools required to get into modding are free and easily available.

How do I get modding support?
If you need help, you can get support from me and the community on the official Discord server: https://discord.gg/kubifaktorium

Media etc.
How do I take screenshots?
Press Control-F12 while in-game. The screenshots will be saved to:
Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\MirkoStudio\Kubifaktorium\...
Linux: /.config/unity3d/MirkoStudio/Kubifaktorium/

How do I use the cinematic camera to show off my colony?
Move your camera to different spots and press Shift plus F1-F3 to define 3 different position. Then you can press F9 to move in-between them. Hold shift, alt or control while pressing F9 to modify the camera movement speed.

I want to cover the game on my Twitch/YouTube/etc...
You can find a press kit here: https://neomateria.de/presskit_kubi/index.html
You can request a key via the mail address on the press kit site. Please note that I can only give keys to medium/big streamers as everything else would be unfair to the normal players who pay for the game. I will ignore key requests from channels which are using bought clicks/views etc., which are requesting an excessive amount of keys or are otherwise dubious.
If you run into problems, please do not hesitate to contact me.
