Hi everyone!
STARIO is participating in the Ancient Costume Game Fest! You may find more info here: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/ancientcostumegamefestival
Also, we’ve gathered some common player questions to make your tower-building smoother!
Let’s start with a handy tip!
⚙️ Settings & Options
How to change the UI font size?
Go to Options → Graphic → UI Scale Multiplier to adjust the overall size of the game interface. Make it as comfy for your eyes as you like 👀.
How to limit the frame rate?
You can find the Max Frame Rate option under Options → Graphic, which controls how many frames per second the game renders.(V-Sync is enabled by default — you’ll need to turn it off first before you can adjust the maximum frame rate!)
💡 For example:
If you set the limit to 60 FPS, the game will render no more than 60 frames per second.
⚠️ Tip: Don’t set the frame rate higher than your monitor’s refresh rate — your GPU will just be working overtime for no reason!
🌟 Benefits of capping your frame rate:
✅ Reduces GPU load and prevents overheating or fan noise
✅ Stabilizes performance and smooths out frame drops
✅ Saves power (and keeps your fans from sounding like they’re about to take off ✈️)
How to remap the controls?
Go to Options → Input to open the keybinding menu.
🎮 You can change the layout, adjust camera sensitivity, and set everything up exactly how you like it!
💾 Save Files
📂 To open your save folder:
Launch the game → Click “Load” → Click “Open Save Folder” →
Then click the “⬆” arrow at the top of the folder window to go one level up.
🏆 Achievements
How do I check achievement progress?
Press ESC → Achievements to see your current progress.
Hover over an achievement for more details — for example, hovering over “Ninety-Nine Souls” will show your current highest population 👥.
“Soaring Ascent”
Clear the game within 9 in-game hours (not real-world time!! ⏰).
“Ninety-Nine Souls”
Complete the game with your total population never exceeding 99.
🏗️ Gameplay Mechanics
Stability and Durability
Buildings with higher Stability wear down more slowly, but ⚠️ even the sturdiest structures won’t last forever! Keep some Repair Kits 🧰 handy nearby — just in case.
As the game progresses, Disasters become stronger, and structures will deteriorate faster during Disasters.
White Noise & Touching Lightning (and other Wishes like these)
They only take effect if the required facility exists on the same tower layer as the residence, not merely within its influence range ⚡.
