I would love the auto-crafter to work with the recycler! I always thought it was weird you could only ever have one item recycling at a time...
It would be nice if you could recharge a vehicle in some way. Bring a few batteries, etc. so if your vehicle runs out you don't have to push it back to recharge it. I guess I could bring a power source and a garage? :P
I am not sure, but I have several Rain Collectors from previous save and looks like they are not working
Wait, I just realised you did. Do people who purchased the game on itch before it came out on Steam get a Steam key?
I did, go to your download page of the game and on the bottom there should be an option to claim a Steam key.
The_Observer is correct - if you bought MewnBase (by itself) on itch.io it comes with a Steam key. However Steam keys are not included if you got the game as a part of a larger bundle.
No I bought the game by itself a while ago. Not in a bundle.
Well after having to prove to itch that I'm me about 9 times, they finally agreed to let me have my dang key! Got it now, thanks. :)
What a pleasant surprise :) Time for another run.
Out of curiosity, why haven't you released the game on Steam yet?
So cool!
