How to Enable Fullscreen Mode:
------------------------------
Written by Spidersonic
The best way to make sure the game runs in full-screen.
-=Context=-
When I first started playing this game, it loaded up in a very small window.
I then tried to make it run in full-screen by pressing Alt+Enter and it worked
well except the game was still in 4:3. Assuming I could get it to run in 16:9,
and since the main menu suggests it, I tried pressing F5 and F6 to see what it
would do. And it actually made things worse.
The game now looked like this on my monitor and no matter how much I pressed F5
or F6, it wouldn’t go back to its previous and correct configuration:
-=How to Enable Fullscreen=-
As it turns out, there’s no way to run this game in 16:9. It was made to run in
4:3. But, quite frankly, you shouldn’t let that technicality deter you from playing
it as it is a pretty cool experience.
In order to fix any issue you might have when trying to run Always Sometimes
Monsters in all its 4:3 full-screen glory, you need to do the following :
1.Locate the file “Game.ini” in the installation folder of the game.
The exact location of your Steam folder may vary, depending on where you installed
it on your computer. On Windows, by default it should be in “C:\Program Files (x86)\”
but then again, maybe you chose to put it somewhere else (Different drive, different
folder…).
Once you’ve located it follows this path to find the file “Game.ini”
Steam\SteamApps\common\Always Sometimes Monsters
2.Edit the file “Game.ini” with Notepad
Open the file “Game.ini” by right-clicking it and then choosing to open it with
Notepad.
In Notepad, edit these three lines under the category “[ASM-Screen]”
[ASM-Screen]
Fullscreen=1
FullscreenRatio=0
WindowedRatio=1
Once done, save and close the file.
3.Making sure these parameters stay that way
After closing the file “Game.ini”, right-click it again and choose “Properties”. This
will open a new window on the bottom of which you will find the attributes of the file
“Game.ini”. Check the “Read-only” box then click on “Apply” and “OK”. This will ensure
no further modifications can be made to this file by either the game or yourself.
If you ever need to modify that file again, just go back and uncheck that “Read-only”
box.
Factory Math Guide:

Written By A Simple Hedgecat
How to make the most money in either the pork factory or tofu factory in Dubstown!
-=Introduction=-
This guide is intended for the Temp Agency jobs in the first town (Dubstown). You'll
get a choice of working in a tofu factory or a pork factory and the temp agency will
take half of your earnings, which is why you want to make as much money in each factory
as possible (our player character is unfortunate enough as it is).
The pork factory must be completed and you cannot leave the mini game at any time.
The tofu factory lets you leave whenever you please, but to make the most money you
should stay in the tofu factory until the machine runs out of tofu, just like with
the pork factory.
All you really need for this process to be the most successful is to be good at
multiplication and division or just whip out your calculator and punch in a few
numbers.
-=How to work the belt=-
This minigame was likely intentionally made to be tedious and somewhat boring (as
factory work isn't the most glamourous job in real life either), so for a beginner
this minigame may be especially frustrating.
To work the belt, walk up to the control pannel and go through with the following
sequence:
Converyor Access -> Dispense pork/soy beans -> Converyor A -> Pork/tofu cuber
-> Create pork/tofu cube
After selecting that option you'll get a random number usually in the range of
15-27. This seems to be randomized each time, giving us a variable to work with.
Continue the sequence as follows:
* Coveryor B > Pork/tofu slicer
After this you'll be given a choice of making a certain product with a certain
quantity of meat.
-=Calcuations=-
For either factory, to make the most out of your boring time there, you should stay
until either the pork or tofu machine runs out of pork and/or tofu. The pork factory
traps you until the task is complete, but the tofu factory gives you full permission
to leave whenever. But despite the temptation to escape the tedious and repetetive
mini game, to make the most money, stay there until you're done.
As soon as you finish talking with your boss in either factory, go up to the list
to the left of the door. You'll see 3 kinds of products the facotyr makes and how
much each product is going to make you in earnings. The list will look something
along the lines of this (which we will use as our example for this guide):
* Product 1 (5 lb.)..... 9 dollars
* Product 2 (3 lb.)...... 7 dollars
* Product 3 (1 lb)........ 3 dollars
Simple enough. Which ever factory you work at, the names of the products don't
matter, just these numbers. The pounds of pork/tofu to make each product are our
consistant numbers. The money you'll earn to make them however tend to change.
This seems to change each day and either the pork or tofu factory will give out the
most money, but switching back and fourth between the factories to make the most
money might be tedious (and this minigame itself it already tedious enough). So
let's say you're consistantly working in one factory or the other. We'll use this
list as an example, but note that in the actual game, prices will change, going up
and down depending on the day (just like meat prices in real life). Therefore you
can't always get consistant pay regardless of which facotry you work in. In other
words, you can bring home 100 dollars one day and bring home more or less the next...
For the sake of the guide, we'll stick to our table above.
As stated above in 'How to work the belt', when you cube the pork or tofu you'll
get a random number ranging from 15 to 27.
The variables we have thus far is the number of product we get from cubing pork/
tofu and the amount of money we'll recieve for making certain products.
So here is the forumla we'll use:
* money = total product / n * Product (1,2, or 3's) price
The amount of money we'll recieve will be dependent on the total product divided
by a number multiplied by the amount of money we'll be paid for making a certain
product (listed as 1, 2 or 3 above).
For instance, if I have 27 pounds of pork in the pork factory i would divide by 3,
getting 9 and multiplying that (using our table above) by 7. 9 * 7 = 63. So by
that logic, i'd get 63 dollars if i check the list by the door again.
On the other hand, you could just make whatever meat or tofu product is the most
valuable... Let's try that using our table above as an example:
Product 1 requires 5 pounds of pork/tofu to make and will earn us 9 dollars. Our
total product is 27 pounds. So: 27 divided by 5 equals 5.4 which multiplied by 9
gets us 48.6... Not very clean numbers. So let's round those numbers in our favor:
27 divided by 5 gives us 5.4. which we'll round down to 5. 5 multiplied by 9 gives
us 45.
By then we'll have used up 25 pounds of prok/tofu, only leaving us with 2 pounds
of pork/tofu left only giving us the option to make Product 3 (the one we'll get
the least money for). Using this example we'll only get 3 dollars for making
Product 3.
Simple multiplication will mean we'll have only gotten 6 extra dollars giving us
a total of 51 dollars...
* So 63 -> 51
-=Conclusion=-
Note that because the amount of money you'll get for making products 1, 2, or 3
will constantly change and the amount of meat or tofu you get from the cuber is
also a variable.
Hopefully you have found this guide useful regardless and hopefully the explanation
of my equations weren't too complicated or poorly written. Have fun.
