Current-Version Bugs
1. Followers can't build / Followers get infinitely stuck building.
This is due to a bug-imposed limit on the amount of buildings you can have. It has been acknowledged by 22Cans and will be fixed in a patch in the coming days.
For those who need more Followers to meet goals, you can remedy this bug by knocking over existing level 1 properties, and clearing land such that your Followers can build higher-level properties. This allows a higher population to fit in the same number of buildings, you can continue building.\

2. Memory exception (11) attempting to access: 0000000C
This occurs after having used a meteor, or having burned lots of trees using the God's Finger spell. (Avoiding these two actions will ensure you don't encounter this bug.)

If your trees have been saved in a state of burning, and your game crashes every time you see them, when you start up the game, quickly scroll the map to an area where the trees are off the screen. They will continue to burn but the effects that produce the error will not, and so eventually the trees will burn out and you will be fine once again.

3. Boosted belief is not collectable if house is collected to a settlement
If you use gems to boost the belief production of a house (using the right click menu on said house), and the house happens to be connected to a settlement, its belief will not be generated or collectable. The house will remain at full belief forever, and this will not be collectable through the settlement statue, either.

4. Beautify effects on blighted land revert upon restarting the game[/b[When you beautify blighted land, the changes made will be cosmetic and functional -- this allows your Followers to roam free without getting sick. However, upon rebooting the game, the blighted land will still have the effect of blighted land, despite cosmetically looking "beautified". Thus your Followers get sick once again.

5. Card #57 will not drop in a multiplayer game if it is the only card you need.
The only way to get around this is to edit the card into your game save. [Instructions incoming]

To avoid this for the time being, it is suggested you do not colonise on beautified land if it was earlier blighted.
Old Bugs

I am in no way affiliated with 22Cans, the development or publication of Godus. This is an effort to create and maintain a community guide of known bugs that will aid in the development and testing processes so that the final version of Godus may be as polished as possible.

Remember, this is an early access title, so bugs are bound to occur. This is the nature of a beta test. The developer will fix as many bugs as are reported when they are able to -- please be patient as this process is not always simple.

If you have any bugs to report that are not listed here, please do so in the comments on this guide, on this discussion page: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/232810/discussions/0/864979008658871165/

PLEASE note which version of the game you are running (vital!), and anything you can think of that may have triggered the bug.

Is there some way of resetting the game from the beginning? I accidentally wiped out the Astari and the game wasn't fun anymore so I tried restarting from the beginning but was met with a reset world with none of my buildings and structures but the Astari still missing and the beacons all lit up until the last point. Is there a way of restarting the world definitively and starting from scratch?

For some reason the game crashes on me every time after i try scrolling past the Miner Settlement Card. Other than that I for some reason have random builders laying around everywhere but i dont see that as a major issues as I group them up and God Finger them.. xD

Version 2-158 something 2.7

* The game crashes sometimes when using middle mouse button to move.
* Followers magically going up a mountain, Getting stuck and then this ensues:
*swisch* Tap an see where follower is lost *swisch*
*swisch* Tap an see where follower is lost *swisch*
*swisch* Tap an see where follower is lost *swisch*
*swisch* Tap an see where follower is lost *swisch*
*swisch* Tap an see where follower is lost *swisch*
*swisch* Tap an see where follower is lost *swisch*

And i think that that spam not only annoys me to the point where I can't enjoy the game, I also think it's responsible for some crashes, in conjuction with the mouse movement, I guess its due to too many inputs.

If only you could turn of the message noise, or if they added a delay. Or hell make them die after a time.

Followers keep randomly getting lost on top of mountains. It's completely halted certain construction until I get the AI to figure out there's a way down, which it doesn't always seem to get even if I leash the person.

Severe bugs I encountered (restart inducing bugs listed only)
- Square chunks of land flashing in and out of existence, particularly after a while of playing and triggered by doing much scrolling. Restart fixes. (occured 5 times so far)
- Clicking on the green button of the first tutorial (sculpting) leaves you with an invisible map, thus preventing you from succeeding. Going for the red X button does not have the same effect and you can finish the tutorial as intended.
- Game crash upon placing first settlement. Not reproducible, despite choosing the same land plot for the town center after restart.
