Troubleshooting and FAQ
Solarpunk troubleshooting guide for crashes, Steam overlay, stuck progress, airship confusion, hunger and thirst, weather, controller support, and co-op setup.
Use this page when something feels broken before you rebuild the base. Many issues are routing, power, weather, or UI confusion rather than missing content.
Gameplay FAQ
| Question | Short Answer |
|---|---|
| Why can I not run? | Hunger and thirst can limit normal activity; stabilize berries, rainwater, and cooked trip food. |
| Why did crops stop growing? | Plants need water; rain helps, but storms can damage grown plants. See Farming, Water, and Weather. |
| Why did a powered machine stop? | Check Power Troubleshooting before moving the machine. |
| Why is airship docking hard? | Use slow planned approaches and the Airship Controls and Docking guide. |
| Where is a resource? | Start with Where to Find Resources and the item page. |
| What should I unlock next? | Use Research Unlock Order and exact costs on Research Unlocks. |
Technical Checks
- Use System Requirements if performance or crashes start immediately.
- Check Platforms and Storefronts for supported platform and controller context.
- For official support links, use Official Links rather than guessing from forum posts.
- If a crash or Steam overlay problem is platform-specific, include system specs, platform, and what you were doing in the report.
