How to Save

Hints

To save your game, you must sleep. This is currently the only way to save your progress.

Buggy!

Glitches

So far I have struggled with the following glitches: 

While doing hazardous ruins, mobs have glitched into the ceiling making it impossible to hit them thus halting progress 

Items have disappeared 

Farm animals have randomly disappeared never to be seen again from the barn/shed.

So far the game is fun if not annoying!

Video Tape Recordings

Easter Eggs

In the Abandoned Ruins, you can sometimes find video tape recordings. These can be played on a Television relic if you have one placed on the Television Stand. The videos cover a variety of topics and shout-outs.

  • Recording: Drains – This plays a trailer for Drains, a previous game by the same developer.
  • Recording: Planet Explorers – This plays a trailer for Planet Explorers, a previous game by the same developer.
  • Recording: Protoform – This plays a trailer for Protoform, an upcoming game from the same developer.
  • Marco’s Tale 1-14 – These 14 videos show what appears to be early concepts for My Time at Portia’s story content, with many characters in common despite the story being largely different.
  • The Flying Pigs and the Skyshark Pirates Trailer – This video shows what appears to be early concepts for My Time at Portia’s gameplay, with some familiar gameplay mechanics being shown.
  • Penny’s Record – This plays a song of Penny’s and is given to the player after you complete all of Penny’s missions.
  • Strange Video 1 – This shows a recording from Sam and Sophie’s Chinese voice actress.
  • Strange Video 2 – This shows another recording from Sam and Sophie’s Chinese voice actress.
  • Strange Video 3 – This shows another recording from Sam and Sophie’s Chinese voice actress.

Note: The Strange Video series has been removed from newer versions of the game. If you already had a copy of one of them, it has bene replaced with Marco’s Tale 1, 2, or 3, corresponding to which Strange Video you had.

Dark Souls reference

Easter Eggs

You can sometimes find a bonfire with a sword stuck in it. Interacting with the bonfire will heal you. This is a reference to the Dark Souls series.

Basic Tips

Hints

At 3:00 in-game, you will fall asleep and wake up rested in your home. Keep an eye on the time if you’re trying to get something done so you aren’t interrupted for sleep in the middle of it.

The condition of your house determines how much stamina resting there recovers. Therefore, you’ll want to repair your house as quickly as possible to get the maximum benefit.

Adding furniture to your house also boosts your stats, with the boosted stat differing based on the type of furniture you add. There is a maximum boost for each stat.

You have limited inventory space, but you can buy more inventory slots. Expand your inventory so you can carry more items with you.

Early on, you should prioritize your Gather skill tree, because you’ll be doing gathering right away. Gathering items also gives you experience, allowing you to get more skills. Focus on the Gather skills and then move on to the others once gathering is going well.

You should have multiple workstations so you can make multiple things at the same time.

Merchants will show you the current market condition, which you should use to determine when to sell items. If you sell an item when the Market Price percentage is higher than 100%, you’ll make a nice profit, whereas you’ll lose out if you sell it when the Market Price is lower than 100%.

 Commissions have time limits. If you accept a commission but can’t complete it in time, you’ll lose relationship points with the NPC behind the commission as well as reputation points. Always make sure you check the time limit before you accept a commission.
