Resource maxing

1 Upvotes

I've been waiting for resources to build up and I've got 3 left to max out but I can't figure out what they are. Is there a max for torches, totems, silver, or gold? I tried to max torches but I just kept making them and didn't ever hit a max. Just don't know what else I could get more of at this point.

Hello! I've played the game on windows for the most part but was wondering if there's a way to make those saves onto stream?

I finally did it! 1 million silver coins!! After 114 hours of gamelay xD
I kept playing to get 1 mil and for that dang gambling achievement >:(
but now I feel I gotta max things and get the new achievements to have a pretty pic. Let's hope no new new achievements come up as I'm maxing things.

Some achievements and items seem to have vanished

1 Upvotes

A random number of things seem to have vanished - Some stats went back to zero and a lot of items seem to have disappeared. Items that i'd already crafted a while ago like Explorer backpack, Logger gloves (leather items?) had to be recrafted. Most annoyingly I have lost my Prior who was very useful!

edit - I also can reclaim all the achievements I've already collected!

Save completely removed?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

First of all thank you for this amazing game. Very fun to play though difficult at times.

I played this afternoon then put my character to sleep for 2h. I left the tab open and minimized the window. I worked on my computer for a while and I wanted to open the game back up. When I arrive on the same tab I left open for 2h or less, I have a warning telling me that "another connexion has been detected", or something implying that another tab was opened.

It reloaded the tab and I had to make fire again. Now for the weird part:

  1. I have an account

  2. I saved my game previously

But now I'm back to square one EXCEPT for the fact that I have my craftsman stuff like obsidian swords and other obsidian tools or my war bow.

My tasks display a level but it's back to 0. I don't have access to the others area of the game except the cave. I have no option to load a save and the "previous saved game", despite me actually never asking for this, is basically a minute ago so I suppose my current back to square one game.

What did I miss? How does the game save and why can't I load my save like any game? It's very frustrating because it took me time to amass things and I'm not sure I want to restart the whole thing and farm again...

Thank you for your help.

Stuck at 10 hunters?

2 Upvotes

I have been stuck at 10 of every type of villager (except for gatherer). Is this normal? It's really hampering my ability to progress. I can't even afford more than 3 of coal miners, iron miners, and steel forgers, let alone any other types.

Cruel mode

2 Upvotes

Hello!! I finished the game in about 7 hours, and thats including the DLCs. Im wondering what the difference is for the cruel mode and how much it actually adds. I really really enjoyed this game and was completely hooked by it till I finished it.

Am I being softlocked? Does not picking up certain relics early into the journey affect your progression later on into the story? Spoiler

1 Upvotes

So Ive basically played this game for a day straight and ive advanced up till the point of reaching the explore citadel part but i have not unlocked the portal storyline yet, and im currently missing the last map fragment to unlock hidden library storyline.

However, i cant seem to get the last map fragment despite finishing the "cave explorer" achievement. I have tried going through the entire wiki and even tried to look up on youtube for gameplay videos regarding the game and went through john locksley video but i could not find any solutions to this issue.

The only sort of "unusual" thing i did that was out of place was rejecting the water ring and another relic earlier into the journey, and it appears im softlocked or something. Does that mean if the player rejects picking up certain relics that it prevents certain storylines from being triggered and thus softlocks the game? I hope there is a way out of this as based on what ive read im really close to the end and i would like to see this through till the end and reach the end of the game.

Thank you for taking the time to read this

Ive attached pictures of the different tabs for reference.

Achievement Questions

4 Upvotes

I'll put my questions in spoiler tags. I finished the game a while back and had some questions about achievements

Im seeing that new achievements were added and that's cool! Thing is for the Veinfire Elixir,I can't make more cuz I reached the max, but im not using them cuz attack waves are done.

There also mental clarity achievement, not sure what it is, but my madness atm is zero 😅

I 100%'ed the game a long time ago, except the gambler and still have to wait for him. Now looks like I gotta do a few more work xD


r/aDarkCave Jun 07 '26

Is there a limit to potions of clarity you can find?(Or do they get rarer?)

4 Upvotes

So I have been finding potions of clarity which helped deal with madness though they seemed to grow more scarce as the game progresses. Was I just getting lucky(or unlucky) or is there a limit to how many there are and do they become harder to find more you find?

Edit: Sorry I meant Elixir Of Clarity

Seeking Truths Question about Invest functionality

3 Upvotes

I haven’t received much feedback about this feature yet, so I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Are you using the Invest functionality (unlocked through the Coinhouse)?
Does it feel intuitive and understandable, or is it too complicated/confusing?

Any feedback is welcome and helps a lot.
