Warning
This will may break your game, almost certainly you'll mess something up.
Make a new save. I am not liable.

Also, this probably won't be around forever. Depends on if the developer leaves it enabled. But... you know... Have fun?

There are two approaches you can take:
  • If you've already completed all the sidequests in the area, you can just use the "solve current chapter" cheat, then "open travel screen," and travel to the next village.
  • If you HAVEN'T completed the sidequests in the area, you can use the "generate new map" cheat. That will reset your all of your progress on the current chapter and sidequests in the area, but it will give you a chance to complete all the sidequests in the area and get the rewards. After completing all the sidequests, use the "solve current chapter" cheat. And boom, you're fixed
Thanks nameismyname! Original Message[discord.com]

Timecycle Not Changing
Stuck in a specific time? Perpetual night? Read more...
At the time of writing, this is only relevant for the Zorya Shrine
  • Close the game
  • Press your Windows Key + R to open the Run prompt
  • Copy and paste the following then click OK
    %appdata%/RekaGame/Saves
  • Navigate into the numbered folder then into Save_0 (or whichever save needs looked into)
  • Open CurrentMap.xml with something like Notepad / Notepad++
  • Ctrl + F to search for manualOverride
  • If the value is true replace with false
    <manualOverride>false</manualOverride>
  • Save the file
  • Check to see if issue is resolved

Game Crash / Error on Map Generation
I have not personally received this error or validated this workaround, use at your own risk. Back up your saves.

So, this may not work for you. This may actually be a terrible idea. But it worked for me!
1. Start a new save file. Speedrun through the main quests until you get to the first "sandbox" map.
2. Exit your house and go a little ways away.
3. Save and exit your second save file.
4. Go to your game files (where the map error gets logged) and go Save_1 (or whichever is your secondary save), and copy the CurrentMap and HeightMap files.
5. Paste these into your main save file and replace the corrupted ones.
6. Reload and see if it worked!!

This is the first guide I've ever made... So that is cool.
Really quickly poking around in the game using these tools.
If anyone else finds something cool, let me know!

I saw that ppl are having issues with the open beta wiping their storage, could be useful.
I can share what I found so far if you'd like, I also started a fix/workaround thread in the Beta's Discord: https://discord.com/channels/1126534092154998875/1289414456824172595/1289416420928651304

Do we have a list of items' IDs yet?

Video [zipline.bitter.house] of it working for me (may need to use Chrome to view)

Did you toggle "Manual Override" at the top? I was able to adjust everything there- I believe it needs to be raining already for the intensity and precipitation sliders to do anything, but I haven't tested that much.

can't seem to adjust the weather
