The full version of the game is downloadable only (HTML5 was struggling to do everything I wanted). There's a PC, mac and linux version though - and I know some people have gotten the linux version running on chromebooks with linux beta.
It'll probably way too late to bring this up, but just in case that there is going to be another update to the game I just wanted to ask to consider adding seperate blueprints for a Spacehouse Kitchen (and maybe also seperate upgrade blueprints for storehouses and docks). Towards the end of the game (if there ever is one) I'd like to construct something like a village with all the different structures the game offers all bundled together. Yet it won't allow me to have a House-kitchen and a Spacehouse on the same island at the same time.
Another thing with the Spacehouse: there's no short video where the main characters sit together in their newly built Spacehouse. Similar to the ones we got after building the Hut and the House.
Also, there's nothing on Earth for the Hunter to hunt. (In case you opt to settle down on Earth).
Hi, thank you for putting up the festive decorations on the barn. Looks great. It must have been a very busy night having to put them up for every player. Maybe it could be fun if somewhere in some cave you'd find a chest full of these items and then be able to decorate any structure. JK.
I did however wanted to point out that once you've beaten the enemy and the colonists have settled down on Earth and you've built the spacehouse, the new structure behind it moves at different speed than the layer in front of it as well as the layer behind it. It's a little bit nauseating looking at it as your character walks by. It's like it moves on its own.
That's a graphics card issue. If the graphics card supports Aground, updating the driver will fix the issue (from the manufacturer's website - like nvidia, AMD or intel, as windows doesn't always get the latest version).
Hey, thanks for pointing me to my graphics card drivers. They were up to date, but I had to fiddle with a setting to specify my system use my good graphics card instead of the crappy built in one for Aground. Now, it's time to start a new game and explore that hybrid path!
We won't be releasing a chromebook version of the game, although some players have been able to play the linux version of the game on their chromebooks using linux beta.
Hi. I'd like to thank you again for all the lovely updates. What a pearl this game has become!
Now for my problem. I'm in this game in which I've made a truce with the enemy, so it ended there. But now I'm trying to build homes everywhere and get all the ore from the ground. And I'm having trouble getting the second Bombardment Shield up on Earth. On Unoiks I've managed this (albeit after the first bombardment -I still haven't figured out what triggers it after the Old One is beaten, sometimes it takes quite a while and other times it's almost instantaneous. A hint here would be appreciated-) by bumping into the right NPC. On Earth I'm having less success. I tried a whole bunch of things: bringing the scientists over in the Mobile Lab, standing atop the mountain with all necessary materials and calling them up. No response. There was another game in which I managed to get both shields up. Yet I forgot how I did that. Would you be so kind to give me a hint?
I've also noticed that the Truce Machine doesn't run out of "juice". Will this change in the future? So that a truce may expire and the battle reignites??
The Mechanic (NPC) will offer to build the bombardment shield on earth, but only if you set earth as your homeworld (otherwise it's not really needed).
I don't think you can. I think you can only put Young Dragons and Adult Dragons in there. My apologies if this turns out to be incorrect (haven't touched this game in a week, time to get back on and beat it for the 100th time). I'll let you know if this can be done.
I was mistaken. You CAN put baby dragons in the lair. You have to have it in your inventory and not have it as a pet or anything. Pressing "remove" puts it in your inventory.
Amazing game. Enjoyed the demo a lot (might've "cheated" a bit using Ctrl+Shift+D when it was pointless for me to continue to restart and beat the demo). Won't be able to get the full version but I had a lot of fun nevertheless.
So, that means you have two saves in the same slot - one on the cloud, and one in your local saves. It will show both of them, just choose which one you want to keep. If you want both of them, hit X, export the save, and then reload the game and it will ask again and you can select the one from the cloud with the other one still exported.
Hey I bought this game about a year ago and I remember something about receiving a full version for those who supported the early version I've been unable to actually play it for a long time as I've been on chrome book and I'm not smart enough to use Linux. Is there any limit to how long your progress on the aground server thing is saved?
(I'm kinda scared about how much content there is going to be when I am able to play again lol the alien "bombing" thing really scared me when it happened as soon as I started playing and my precious buildings dissapeared I had nuclear reactors on all the islands)
There's no limit - the saves will stay there until you delete them. Steam is pretty easy to install on chromebooks right now (see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGWRD_U9FSs ), and it will install all dependencies needed to run Aground - so it might be easier to install using steam than trying to run the linux executable directly (you should have a steam key with your itch.io purchase).
Hi, I LOVE this game and the first time I played the demo i couldn't get enough of it. I really want to buy it, but i can't download games on my laptop. If I buy the game, can I play the purchased on browser?
Ah ok, I greatly appreciate you replying to my question. I am greatly impressed with your game as I saw in the DEMO version. In just that i saw a great set of gameplay that really traps the player. I found it nearly impossible to put down once I started. I saw similarities to other games i played, but despite that it has its own personality that makes it a diamond among emeralds. Thank you for all the work you have done on this and other your games.

I tried a game at the "easier" level, for a change. And quite early on there was a new quest, the Secret Potion quest. I completed the quest, drank the potion and got turned into a smurf. Was that an April Fools joke? Does it have a purpose? I kinda like the new look. Will it fade away?
Are there many differences between the difficulty levels? I noticed when playing at the hardest level one should factor in chewing the food before taking the next bite. (Unfortunately I could not get passed the aliens inside the largest enemy starship, so I eventually gave up that level.)
Yes, that's an april fool's joke - the quest can only be gotten on april 1st, but you can continue to craft/use potions after getting the quest to change your appearance. It will never fade away, but you can reset it back at the surgery lab.
The difficulty modes just change things like damage or add an eat cooldown (some modes also reduce carrying capacity and skill points per level). Nothing major, but as you saw it can make some areas that were easy a challenge, or challenging areas easy. You can switch it around as you want at any point.
Recently I nearly finished a game in which I didn't attack the Old One (I wanted a version in which the background on Sunset Island wasn't destroyed). So there was no subsequent bombardment. I've defeated their boss and also destroyed the nursery and the colonists have settled down with me on Starting Island. Now, if I were to take on the Old One (and win, of course), would there still be a bombardment as a consequence? I'm very reluctant to just give it a try and perhaps spoil that thing that I wanted to keep safe for so long in the game.
Is there a way to remove/undo the Absorbtion spell? I recently drained all the water below The Heights, drilled all the tiles away and created my own basins (for easier access to snaptopusses, sharks and pearl-clams) using the Absorbtion spell. At first, with only two large basins, it seemed to work. So I made more. But this did not result in seeing more creatures swimming there. Frankly, it seemed to be less. Sharks and Heliumsac creatures did not return.
Is it possible to bring water to higher places? Is there anything one can do to identify spawning spots for sharks or spitting(helium)fishbirds?
One thing that has been bothering me for a while now (something I should have mentioned way earlier) is the visual presence of the cable in the game. I think it's too thick and too yellow.
Finally, I still enjoy playing this game very, very much. Thanks again.
1. Bombardment cannot happen if the final boss is defeated (although you also won't get the quest to fight the old one).
2. Cast book of absorption on the tile you want to remove it from.
3. No. Also no (although their spawn range is large, they will appear in any water in that range, hence why there appear to be more if there's little water as they all have to crowd in that small area).
4. Any smaller, and you probably wouldn't even know what it was. It's a thick cable, but I think that's ok.
Honestly, not a lot - most of what I wanted to add I added or am currently adding (like Multiplayer). There's a lot of little things, and a few spaceships and post game content that I still want to add, perhaps in post launch updates, but that's about it.
Which software should i use to make transparent images. Plz can you tell any software with which people make mods.Any one would help me a lot but it should be easy to operate.
You need to make a transparent png to remove the background - some programs like MS Paint can't handle transparency - so you might need to use a different program.
Why full version is in red colour also my many things are missing after pasting the mods . Help me i cant play it fully ,many things are missing Why???HOW can i make it normal please help.
Full version is red if it fails to load. Either you are missing files or a mod is interfering with it. If disabling mods doesn't help, try redownloading the game.
I see everyone requesting things to appear in the game, but I wont.This game is absolutely amazing.I remember playing it a few months back and now I was curious and played it again.There was so much improvement.This game is so great.I absolutely love it!I love you much you work on this game and how much you care about players suggestions!
Has aground multiplayer launched?? if not when it will launch i cant wait. Will i have to give money to buy it or it will be on existing game i have on steam?
Multiplayer is in a closed alpha (check out #beta-feedback in our discord [https://discord.gg/Aground] if you're interested), and we hope to have it in a public beta early march and live early april in time for the full launch. Multiplayer will be a free update for everyone who already bought the game.

Wow, I just discovered the Spirit Detector. That will come in handy! Great tool. Crazy that I didn't think of that before.

a ultima versão do jogo é a 2.0.5 ?? eu quero muito continuar mas ja zerei o jogo e incrivel

this is not a bug, this is a cursed version, its very rare if you play this version you gona die after weak!
When will the chrome version come out because I wasted 15 dollars because it doesn't work on chrome.
We won't be releasing a chromebook version of the game, although some players have been able to play the linux version of the game on their chromebooks using linux beta.

quick question how does one have a baby dragon in the lair? I've tried unequiping them or having them equiped. i don't know what to do
I don't think you can. I think you can only put Young Dragons and Adult Dragons in there. My apologies if this turns out to be incorrect (haven't touched this game in a week, time to get back on and beat it for the 100th time). I'll let you know if this can be done.

I had a file saved on the FancyFishGames website. When i tried to continue to play, it asks me if I want to overwrite it. What do I do??
So, that means you have two saves in the same slot - one on the cloud, and one in your local saves. It will show both of them, just choose which one you want to keep. If you want both of them, hit X, export the save, and then reload the game and it will ask again and you can select the one from the cloud with the other one still exported.

Will the game ever be coming to console?
Yes, it's currently being ported and should be released by the end of 2020 - I'll announce more details as we get closer.
That's awesome.
Hi, I LOVE this game and the first time I played the demo i couldn't get enough of it. I really want to buy it, but i can't download games on my laptop. If I buy the game, can I play the purchased on browser?
No, unfortunately the full version of the game would not perform well in the browser as it's too big, so the full version is downloadable only.
Ah ok, I greatly appreciate you replying to my question. I am greatly impressed with your game as I saw in the DEMO version. In just that i saw a great set of gameplay that really traps the player. I found it nearly impossible to put down once I started. I saw similarities to other games i played, but despite that it has its own personality that makes it a diamond among emeralds. Thank you for all the work you have done on this and other your games.
You're welcome! Thank you for playing!
can you jump? how do you jump?
You can't :-(
lol
because some of us cant offered the full version
hey fancy do you think you could do a limited time multiplayer for the demo pls
aground is the best game in the who world
I have tried to figure out a way to play multiplayer online as I even looked over your directions but I don't know where you can just join a game
or is it only in the full version?
Multiplayer is only in the full version - the demo doesn't have the multiplayer button.
Can you add multiplayer to the demo?
Maybe something small like just LAN would also be nice :)
this is really fun

I suggest you to add some tea and beverages like soft drinks.
Are there other dates (like April 1st and Halloween) on which the game offers an extra quest or a festive treat?
There's snowmen and Christmas lights in December... but just those 3.
I tried a game at the "easier" level, for a change. And quite early on there was a new quest, the Secret Potion quest. I completed the quest, drank the potion and got turned into a smurf. Was that an April Fools joke? Does it have a purpose? I kinda like the new look. Will it fade away?

Well, I love it. I tried it a couple more times, and my caracter now resembles the Hulk. Green, blue hair. Just smashing!!
A few questions:

4. Any smaller, and you probably wouldn't even know what it was. It's a thick cable, but I think that's ok.
This game is endless with possibility with three different worlds the one you start on, the east and the west.
There's a lot more than just those 3 islands (at least, in the full version, but there are some secret islands in the demo beyond those 3 as well)!
Wow that is so cool!!
theres a hole in the ocean
aslo quick questions: recipes for ice gear? why the helium sacs?
more important is the helium sacs
This game is the best it is just wonderful how you grow in it and develop succeed and crucial choices.
what is something you wanted to add but never got to it
Honestly, not a lot - most of what I wanted to add I added or am currently adding (like Multiplayer). There's a lot of little things, and a few spaceships and post game content that I still want to add, perhaps in post launch updates, but that's about it.
coolio
Which software should i use to make transparent images. Plz can you tell any software with which people make mods.Any one would help me a lot but it should be easy to operate.
I try to create a mod. It is working fine but only problem is the white portion can i remove it? How . If u can help me i would complete it
You need to make a transparent png to remove the background - some programs like MS Paint can't handle transparency - so you might need to use a different program.
Why full version is in red colour also my many things are missing after pasting the mods . Help me i cant play it fully ,many things are missing Why???HOW can i make it normal please help.
