#Game crashes regularly since new update

Since the last update from today my game crashes regularly. Today I faced this fact 4 times in different situations. Building more fields, setting up sprinklers, collecting honey from auto chest. Game gets worse with every update. Already lost a save of 5 years in game after last update and had to restart. Now I have to repeat days with lots of work regularly. I am not amused anymore and think about deleting the game #PS5

Hello @alpine hatch. I'm so sorry about the crash you've experienced 🙇‍♀️

#

Can you tell me how long you've been playing in a day (real-time) before the crash occurred? Also, is the crash only happened around your farm?

alpine hatch
#

The crash appeared on different times. But never before afternoon. 2 times when finishing the day and going to bed

alpine hatch
#

I just tried again with going to bed earlier. Game crashed when it started to save 😭

alpine hatch
#

Ok so i am a software engineer too so i tried to work out what makes the game crash. It seems like it has to do with the bee hive. I added an automatic chest and removed one hive and placed it again to make it work with the chest. game crashed. Farming harvesting animals even setting up a computer (with online shop 😉 ) worked fine. I will try to find out more reasons to crash and not change anything in beehive layout until next update. Maybe i should try to set up a complete new bee area

Hi @alpine hatch . I'm having similar issues (I'm on steam PC - and my husband irl is a sr. software engineer) so I, too, know a little bit about what could be going on in the background.

I seem to be crashing whenever I do something with one of my bee houses. I was able to attach a video of it in my own post. "Crash When Interacting with Anything" I will have to investigate further as well, maybe do nothing with the bee houses in my shed and test this theory... however, it did happen when moving a mayonnaise machine in one instance so... who knows now LOL...

#

This. All. Day! LOL

alpine hatch
#

I can go on playing that the positive effect

#

I have been so frustrated lately 😦

marble raft
#

True, I think I can avoid the issue if I don't move anything or try to process any honey (grrr) I have yet to try interacting with NPC's beyond Mark (my spouse in game) That seems to be fixed (yay)

#

But yeah, it's frustrating bcs it's seemingly random and can happen whenever so it is hard to play... I try to keep positive and play other things until they do their magic LOL

#

I just feel badly for those on platforms who have up and lost their game saves....

alpine hatch
#

I just found out that it maybe occurrs with order of doing things. Adding an autochest, removing and setting back hive = crash, removing hives, setting up additional autochest, setting back hives works fine

marble raft
#

I am straight up afraid to move an autochest anymore.... Beta scarred me for life haha!!! I empty them out before I attempt to move them...

alpine hatch
#

I feel bad for them too. Maybe it would help if there would be a manual saving routine in the game so you can save a game twice under several names, so hopefully on save is still existing

marble raft
alpine hatch
#

I just tried to add an additional autochest which caused my problem. Usually i empty them for changing a place

#

Thats identical what happened to me earlier.

#

i mean manually adding a bee house

marble raft
#

So you may be onto something, I think I read another player having issues with the bee houses...

alpine hatch
#

i will try some more tests with the bee houses and without

marble raft
#

I wonder if it could be the timing? Maybe the input of certain quality of crops... They did change the Aging Barrels this way

alpine hatch
#

They did?

marble raft
#

Yes, before you could input different quality of items into the same aging barrel

alpine hatch
#

Maybe i should start reading the release papers

marble raft
#

now they have to be of the same quality going in

marble raft
#

I tend to... but Im just weird that way

alpine hatch
#

I don't understand the aging barrels anyway. Until now i was not able to find out how long they need to produce stuff. Seems like it changes daily 😉

marble raft
#

So I know Cactus Mead takes 6 days to produce

#

I think Kimchi is 2 or 3 days

#

That 6 days may be shortened when they are placed in the Shed... I have not seen definitive days to process info though.

alpine hatch
#

which wiki do you use, i found several in german and english

#

usually i check the one on fandom

marble raft
#

I used the unofficial one prior to Stairway's official one

#

yes, Fandom is the one I got my initial info from

alpine hatch
#

smile i see work really similar

marble raft
#

yup haha

#

I'm an achievement junkie.... I need to know as much as I can about a game I'm investing so much time and effort into y'know?

alpine hatch
#

same for me. i am checking all things i am able to to get the most results.

marble raft
#

I do hope they can do something about these newest crashes soon for us all. I know they are working on it, along with the new Update for March (finger's crossed) 😁

alpine hatch
#

When i lost my 5y save i was devasted. starting all over was frustrating but with all knowledge i learned it took me about 2y in game to come close to the point i had after 5y before except relationships

marble raft
#

Oh NO!!!! I'm sorry that happened... I can feel you on that.

#

It's almost like when they said we could take our coins over to NG+ but still... I was sad to lose my beta farm of 6 in game years

#

not the same but I do get it

alpine hatch
#

i had 4 m of money and mad 70-100k daily. now i am happy with 10k 😦

marble raft
#

Starting over with the knowledge you had must have made things easier

#

TRUTH!!!

alpine hatch
#

yes and i removed unneeded stuff like the horse

marble raft
#

I started my NG+ 24m. I now know I didn't need it

#

OMG the horse is legit just decor on my farm

#

I dash and warp everywhere now lol

alpine hatch
#

didnt work for me in my first save, hope it will get better now. impatiently waiting for the moment i can start producing duplicators

marble raft
#

Haha, yeah that's the truth! My combat skill was the last mastery I had to level up in order to be able to craft the slimes of replication. The one I got as a reward at the altar was in a shed that was wonky and I lost it...

alpine hatch
#

but i have difficulties in upgrading my combat skills even i kill every monster i see 😦

marble raft
#

Silver lining... It forced me to get my combat to 10 - which came with an achievement - so in the end it was worth it (kinda) lol

#

Do the Slime Mother method! It worked for me

alpine hatch
#

never heard of it

marble raft
#

I go to fire mine level 15 and look for the advanced slimes

#

the ones that spit out baby slimes

alpine hatch
#

the big blue ones - i kill all i find every day

marble raft
#

if you can find 2 on one floor, you're golden! don't kill the mama, just aggro her and kill the babies

alpine hatch
#

oh thats the trick - great

marble raft
#

do that continually until days end then go home or pass out if you're too lazy to go home

#

you'll end up in bed anyway

#

rinse and repeat

alpine hatch
#

great i will try this definitely right after fall started. 2 days to go

marble raft
#

I got all my other skills to 10 while my combat was stuck at 6 for ages

#

bcs there weren't enough monsters to kill

alpine hatch
#

same for me

#

thank you so much for this hint

marble raft
#

yeah, it's a great trick, I'm sure there are even better ones, but this one worked for me and it isn't an exploit

#

oh you're welcome!

alpine hatch
#

ok need to leave now. sent you a pm in case you are interested in further discussions about CI.

marble raft
#

sure! thanks! have a great day!

#

Hi @alpine hatch. I've read all of your previous chats here, and after you remove the auto chest/bee hive, can you play normally now? 😮

alpine hatch
#

Hi @weak stone everything works fine now but I completely avoid upgrading my bee house area.

alpine hatch
#

Hey @weak stone after todays hotfix even bee hoses work now ❤️
