Tips to Feed Animals:
---------------------
-=Simple Tip=-
If you need to feed your animals then put some cut grass in their
feeding trogs inside the barn.
-=Tip for Lazy=-
Just build a fence around the barn with tall grass inside, they
will graze and you dont have to manually feed.
Note: Make sure its big enough for all your animals to roam.
How the Fishing Minigame Works:
-------------------------------
Written by abenlen
Roots of Pacha has a fishing mini game that I’ve never seen in any
other game, so I thought that a quick explanation of how it works might
be useful to someone. This is meant to just be a quick explanation,
not an in-depth fishing guide.
-=Toucha the Fishy=-
To begin fishing, select your hand ax tool. Later on, you’ll learn to
craft something better, but for now, this will do. Walk into a shallow
spot of water. Click to activate your tool. The fishing pond arena will
appear. It’s showtime!
I’ve tried fishing with both the controller and the mouse. For me, the
mouse was much easier. But hey, things might not be the same for you.
To catch a fish, you have to hover your cursor over the fish as it swims.
That’s right, toucha the fishy! There will be a targeting circle around
the fish that you have to stay inside of. There is a segmented bar that
will appear under the fish as you do this. The harder the fish, the more
segments there are. Once you fill up all the segments, click on your tool
again. Wham bam fish!
The segmented line does fade in and out, and you’ll only catch the fish
when it is solid. A soft tone plays as each segment fills, so this might
help you with the timing. My understanding is that the more you fish up
a certain type of fish, the easier it will be for you to catch it, but
I haven’t tested that personally. The fish can swim under the rocks
(they float I guess?) and other obstacles that might be in the pond. As
they do this, you are not touching the fishy and the green segments will
begin to fade away. When the fish swims out from under the obstacle,
the line will begin to fill in again. Once in a while at random, you
might get an exclamation mark, warning you to get your cursor off the
fish until it forgets that you are there. Once the mark is gone toucha
the fishy again.
Tips to Get Oil:
----------------
* Firstly you can get it from Ada.
* Or you get an idea quest for it, popped up later in the spring.
* Once you can go to the Savannah, there are Olive trees and sesame seeds.
* You can shake the trees to get the olives and then while having selected
the olives use them on the press (you gain the press through a quest from
Tare in Spring, year 1) to make wild olive oil. Or grow sesame and use
that.
* You might need to wait a while for the Savannah to become available,
but it will open up by progressing the game.
How to Unlock Monkey Statue:
----------------------------
The monkey statue is to the right and up of the horse.
To unlock it you will need:
* x1 fermented fish – need to unlock the fermenter.
* x1 ground up grain (has to be grain) – need to unlock the mortar and pestle.
* x1 juice – need to unlock the press.
Glyptodon Ages List:
--------------------
Note: The question about their ages may be random!
To find the answer use the list below:
* Dot – oldest.
* Dante.
* Glyp.
* Dynto.
* To.
* Don.
* Glop.
* Donto – youngest.
How to Change Your Appearance:
------------------------------
Written by Internet Boy
-=Before You Start=-
I recommend being at least somewhat familiar with basic file editing before
attempting this. We’ll be editing your saves in this guide and there’s a lot of
stuff you can potentially mess up in these files. At the very least be as
careful as possible. If you’re confident enough to continue, keep the following
in mind:
* Make sure to always back up any file you intend to edit
* You’re going to need a text editor, I use Notepad++
* This guide is intended for Windows users, but you can probably still follow
it as long as you can find the save files yourself
* I haven’t played through an entire game with an edited save file, which means
I can’t guarantee changing your appearance won’t have some catastrophic, world
ending consequences further down the line
* If you permanently mess up your game, that’s not my fault and I’ll probably
pretend to not even know what you’re talking about if you confront me about it
-=Finding Your Save Files
Your save files are located in:
* C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\LocalLow\Soda Den\Roots of Pacha\saves.
-=You can get here by=-
* Press ‘Windows + R key’
* Type in ‘%APPDATA%\..\LocalLow’ without the quotes
* Navigate through the folders ‘Soda Den > Roots of Pacha > Saves’
Inside this folder will be another folder named a bunch of numbers. In this folder
are your character folders. I recommend backing these up before continuing. You’re
not going to be able to tell which character is which from their folder names, so
let’s just move on to the next section. Just pick one at random for now.
-=Changing Your Appearance=-
Inside the character folders are three files:
* header.json
* save.json
* save-prev.json (might be missing if you’re on the first couple days)
We’re here for the "save.json" file. Open this up with your text editor of choice.
Don’t get overwhelmed by all the text, JSON files are visually messy like that.
Press CTRL+F and type in ‘body’ without the quotes and press enter if it hasn’t
already found something.
If you had multiple characters and weren’t sure which one you were changing, this
is how you can find out. To the left of the ‘Body’ value is your character’s name
(my guy is called TestMan). If it’s not the character you want to edit, open
another "save.json" file until you find them.
Changing these values isn’t always straightforward. For instance, TestMan’s body
in the above picture says 0 in the save file, but in the character creation menu
in-game it’s actually body 1. Because of this I recommend you just make a second
character that has the appearance that you want, and use this new character’s save
file to edit your old one.
So for instance, I want to change my character’s body type:
* Make a new character that has the body type I want
* Play through the game until it saves (you can just immediately jump into bed
once you get control of your character)
* Close the game and open both this new character’s save file, and my old one
* Notice that my new character has a ‘Body’ value of 1
* Go to your old character, find the ‘Body’ value and change it to 1
You could also copy/paste the entire appearance section at once if you feel
comfortable doing that. I’d personally recommend just manually changing the
values around since there’s a pretty big chance of messing up the file’s
formatting by copy/pasting large sections.
Don’t forget to save your file after editing it, by the way.
-=Custom Colours=-
You might have noticed the colour values aren’t singular, but 4 seperate numbers.
These are RGBA values, and you can edit them to any colour you want!
-=The values are, from left to right=-
* Red
* Green
* Blue
* Alpha (or transparency)
You can edit these values to make custom colours for your character. You can find
RGBA colour pickers online to figure out what numbers to use for the colour you
want. Just keep in mind that normal RGB uses values from 0 to 255, but these save
files use RGB 0-1 where the values range from 0 to 1. Make sure to use a colour
picker that reflects that.
-=My Save File Hasn’t Changed=-
If you jump straight back into the game you might notice the character on your
save file still looking the same as before. This is because your in-game appearance
and your save file’s appearance are split up in seperate files, if you want to fix
this you’ll have to also edit the header.json file.
This one is much easier to navigate and the relevant parts are the same so I doubt
you’ll have many issues with it if you succesfully changed your character’s
appearance earlier.
-=Closing Remarks=-
And that’s how you do it! Let me know if there’s anything I missed, if anything
is unclear or if I got something wrong in this guide. I don’t write guides that
often and this is all just stuff I figured out by experimenting for a couple hours.
-=Some final things to remember=-
* BACK UP YOUR FILES. Seriously!!!
* Your save folder might be located somewhere else if you have multiple hard drives
and/or partitions. You probably didn’t need me telling you that if you managed
this though
* It looks like your character’s clothes are kept pretty close to where the
appearance values are. You can mess around with those if you want, I haven’t
so I can’t help you with it
* Some values might be missing at first, for instance if your character doesn’t
have a beard you won’t see a beard value. You can just add the value in, use
a new character file as an example if you’re unsure of how and where to do so
