To test out this new update... there has been a lot of computer plug-pulling and save mistreatment going on over here!!
But it was all worth it, because we are now able to introduce a new backup and restore system in this update. When everything is going well you won't notice a thing, but behind the scenes we will now be backing up your save at different times in the game. In the rare chance you lose power while your game is saving or loading, one of our backups should be able to restore your save to the previous day or previous start of the play session. It is even CPU approved!
The backup system did take a bit of our time, but we couldn't help also adding a few more things too. A much requested auto-stack button in your storage menu to transfer 'like items' from inventory -> storage and vice-versa. Plus a new decoration! A Birthday Calendar you can craft on your workbench. It will display the portrait of anyone with a birthday on the current day and is a shortcut to the calendar. All the changes in the update are listed below. vvv
Thanks everyone for the feedback, love, and helping us spread the word about LKG!
Happy saving,

Windows Version Number: 1.0.4
MacOS Version Number: 1.0.4
Improvements
- Auto-Stack!!!: Yes! Added the auto-stack feature to storage menus. Now you can one-click transfer all similar items to a storage container if they are already there, and vice versa to your Space Pack inventory. (Little arrow icons.)
- Birthday Calendar: Added new Birthday Calendar craft-able decoration item to workbench. This decorative wall calendar will display a simple reminder on the day of a crewmember's birthday.
- Save/Load Improvements: A more robust save/load system applied, to help reduce likelihood of save corruption occurrences that can happen during sudden external computer crashes or computer loss of power, while saving.
- Save/Load Messaging: An errored save file would in some instances prevent the game from progressing past the first loading screen. This has been accounted for now, and will instead, continue to the main menu and show an appropriate error message.
- Save File Backups & Restore Option: Each save file will now have two additional backup saves on hand in case any save errors do occur. If a save file has errored, you will have the option to select it in your loading menu and restore it to a backup version. (Save01: Data from previous in-game day.) (Save02: Data from start of game session at launch.)
- Feed Repository: Can now hold-click to increase amount of feed to pull from here, instead of only tapping.
Bug Fixes
- 1900 Gifting: 1900 should be neutral about all fertilizers gifted, not just one. Fixed.
- Solar Panel SFX: The sfx of solar panel being removed in rare cases could get stuck on. Fixed.
- Inaccessible Microbes: Fixed a few microbes from spawning out of reach.
- Bulletin Request: Replaced meteorite request from bulletin board with a different item, because which meteorite wasn't clear.
- Steven's Stairs: Adjusted stairs to Steven's room, so you cannot trigger the 'locked room text' more than once.
- Friendship Level: Fixed issue that friendship level-up reward could appear at the start of an event cine.
- Grammar: Fixing typos, grammar, and dialogue preferences. Thank you for helping!
