At least on galaxy in particular, I imagine you could use the built-in cloud saving API? Though it might be a bit of a hassle to integrate it alongside firebase, not sure: https://galaxy.click/docs/dev/features/saving

use manual export / import. auto save doesn't work well.

developer response: I have migrated user data to another provider for the save cloud.
It works now, but if any save data is lost, please let me know, but it should be pretty smooth.
This provider also has limits, so may stop working in the future, where I will have to
look at paid options. I would appreciate feedback.

Definitely trouble with autosave. Played for a bit, turned it off for an hour, got back to discover that i'm back to having just 600 hydrogen. Sooo, like hour of playing at least gone, i guess.

the game randomly just bugs out and freezes everything on me. i become unable to load a cloud save either. it just acts as a soft lock that i have to fully restart. Honestly this game has so much potential and i love it. just wish it wouldnt just glitch out on me randomly.

None of the buttons seem to do anything, including the settings. Tested it on Chrome, Edge and Opera GX and the same behavior occurs on all 3. Same thing on the original page.

developer response: thanks for the comment. the cloud saving site supabase changed their access CDN and it was causing the load to break before the game got going. I have fixed that now so feel free to give it a go on your browser of choice.

Ignore the low rating - it's for technical problems with saves. Make sure you back up your saves, but other than that I'm really enjoying the game so far - should probably be a 4.0 from what I've seen. Great job!

developer response: I love your comment thanks very much, I am striving to make it a fun experience, and will get there eventually!!

autosave should be on by default. it's insane for it not to be.

Unfortunatly the game breaks on chrome after a day or two and exporting the save doesn't always work properly. I keep loosing progression. I'm sorry, but until the save issue has been fixed I'll have to stop playing :(. But I linke the game.

developer response: Sorry, I imagine it is due to this game being played on exactly the same server as where I am pushing changes every day. Nothing is breaking but if a change is pushed while you are playing it can change things. I always recommend to play with autosave on which protects your save on the cloud every few minutes, and reloading a save from there should never fail. If you want a stable version, best to play on itch:

what am I missing, I got to the point of power plants, I made power plants, but seemingly randomly the unit will just turn off, I have plenty of carbon. I thought it was because I was using all my carbon but it's not 100%, it's like sometimes the power plant turns off if I fuse all my carbon, other times it doesn't. Should my power plant be turning off if I'm generating enough carbon or am I missing something? Is it a weather event that knocks the power off and I have to manually turn it back on? good game though :)

developer response: code glitches are very possible at this stage, and I am very interested to hear about reproducible cases so i can fix them, what should be happening is:

the power will go off any time the fuel for it is zero AND there is no battery. or it will trip if the consumption of power is higher than what you are producing. in either case you have to manually start it up again. If you fuse all your carbon it can fall to zero sometimes or maybe 0.2 other times due to the rounding of the numbers, explaining why it may or may not go off. It will be safer to fuse 1000 at a time or 75% stock and not all if you see where I am coming from.

I could make the game only reduce carbon to 1 and not 0 if you fuse all, but i feel that would take some challenge away of the management.

You know, the vibes are actually pretty good. Good work for the ambience and such.

developer response: Thank you for your words, I am glad you like it.

I've been at the late stage a while. I made the mistake of going to the nearest planet and got 1 AP. So now I'm trying to grind resources to get some more AP because I learned you are meant to resurrect on the new planet. Unless there is new research or something going through the grind to get the starship built doesn't feel worth it without having something to spend the AP on. So aside from that I would recommend having something you can spend that 1 AP on so players feel accomplished. Grant it, perhaps if I just reincarnated I would see something different, but my experience is that "mistake" is causing me hesitancy.

developer response: You can liquidate all your resources for AP once per run, so its very attainable to do this after conquering the system and grinding your resources for a bit before rebirth and get 20-30AP on your first run.

Thanks for playing to this point, I have to admit you are the first player I am aware of that has done this, and so the content isnt fully fleshed out beyond this point and the balancing could be off, as I am relying on feedback. Feel free to drop by in my Discord and chat about your experience, it would be worthwhile, and congratulations for reaching this point.

I am working on achievements at the moment which will also feed some AP into the mix even on the first run, as well as muliple opportunities to multiply resource collection and reduce compound cost, so more rebalancing will be needed after this is done, but hopefully more fun. Looking forward to hearing your experience.

At some early point i couldnt buy anything, couldnt sell anything just click thru the menues. Nothing worked. Reloaded the game, autosave did not work. Maybe i come back when this game gets an update because it looks interesting

For power-based games like this, you need to be able to enable and disable individual buildings, or sell them. It is possible to quasi-softlock your progress by buying a science lab, which is available pretty early, but requires a huge amount of power. The only reasonable way to work yourself out of that power deficit is to get an advanced power generator, which requires diesel, which requires power to create. If your breaker is tripped by the science lab, though, you can't get your advanced generator online.

developer response: I implemented this very thing for autobuyers some days ago, and the science Lab is upcoming I promise!

EDIT: Science Building On/Off Toggles now implemented!

There is a button to activate all power plants of different types simultaneously, which is for when you have situations where any one type would not be enough for the power draw and to avoid tripping, you can enable all of them together,

At the UI layering is broken, the tooltips are behind the selection screen, making them unreadable.

developer response: Thank you for the feedback I will patch it today. - DONE

I don't really like this one, sorry. UI is awkward and what you need to click and buy isn't 100% apparent.

developer response: sorry to hear - there is a 'CosmicoPedia' in the Settings tab which gives a bit of guidance. I will try to improve the UI going forward.

The game does pick up a lot and becomes so much more enjoyable after the first run. Finding unique structures in the stars gives a certain thrill and have great benefits.

well, there goes any progress. i get it, contact you about that. w/e.

developer response: if you email me your pioneer name i will get it back for you if you lost something, I still have the data on Firebase, even though I thought I had migrated everything. [email protected]

I honestly like the well-intriging game font and algorithm 👌
