how to make new save
Click the 'hamburger' menu, choose Save Management (L hotkey) and pick 'New'
the screen keeps like jerking to the left for some reason???
I cant go to steam on a chromebook but I really want this game and I cant use the itch.io linux. Help

A game about the dangerous Swedish DCM factory in Eskilstuna.

HTML saves can be deleted when clearing cookies. Some browsers clear cookies when they are closed. Try the Steam demo version instead
Will we be able to play the full version (Stage 2) on school Chromebooks? Hopefully so, I have fallen in love with this game!!!!!
There is a Linux version, that should work for Chromebook I guess. It's out on Steam already
Is there an estimate to when stage 2 will be released on itch.io?
Nope! For now, it will be exclusive on Steam.
Thanks for letting me know, I guess I'll try and get it on steam
Saw this game featured on StayAtHomeDev on youtube (5 Games Made in Godot To Inspire You (09/04/25).
I really like the animations of the workers. Fun game!
Thank you!!
StayAtHomeDev is a great creator :') I discovered him after his talk at GodotCon Boston a few weeks ago!
hey I am having trouble with the autobuyer. I had for the conditions for not buying as "safety wheel is not full parent wheels satisfied and an input rate is negative.' the problem is it was running overnight and even my stone lored didn't work. and my coal is 86M a second since I had that one to ignore any condition.
What I think is the problem is that Carl doesn't have a safety wheel, so that means that with parent wheels satisfied, his one will never be satisfied, I had the same problem, I use only 'an input rate is negative' and it works fine, buys everything as long as it doesn't put any resources in negative supply, hope this helps
why are you waiting 11 years?
Maybe Stage 3 will almost be out by then!

Play your game a lot! After you design something, playtest it. If it sucks, don't be afraid to throw it out.
Can't wait for the update, is this game going to stay free?
The demo will be free, but the full game will not! The legacy version will be kept here as well.
It's out right now! It's still on the launch sale until tomorrow.
Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I can't seem to change the UI scale at will. Is there a set of hotkeys that lets you adjust the size of the boxes and menus?
Ctrl-Plus or Ctrl-Minus is a common shortcut for achieving that. I'll add it in an update!
Thank you!
Can i have the embed code for this please? I am making an unblocked games website and wanted to add this since ive been playing on html5 version for almost 6 months now, planning to get windows soon. anyways, can i have embed code pls?
Oh, cool! What's the website?
Game is bad. boring, confusing and not engaging at all. Also, at a certain point progress just stops. I went to bed and when i woke up something that said it would be ready in an hour was still not ready.
You could be running on a harder difficulty, or missing some Upgrades, because it is designed to never take an hour to purchase something.
I'm telling you. X upgrade will be ready for purchase in one hour. *goes to sleep for 12 hours* X upgrade will still be ready for purchase in 1 hour.
Ah yeah that can happen for a few reasons. If you leave the game open and the tab focused when you sleep your pc, it may not trigger offline earnings when you wake the PC. For html games, I'd recommend closing the tab.
Pressing the O key opens the offline earnings window where you can check if anything happened during the 12 hours. If nothing's there, it broke due to a random browser bug. The downloadable version is much more reliable in this way
carl is an ass :(
you need the dude for literaly everything
Easiest settings ever:
you should make another difficulty for ultra masochists (like me)
and by the way coal gets sucked up by carl immedialtly right after i mine a bit on unplessent edit it was stone
I have a bug where squirtling cost way more than they should. If I rerun the game it fixes it, but the bug comes back if I buy 1 squirtling
is there any way to get the html save to the application
nevermind, i figured it out!
i found out that you can get soft locked and i do not see a way to make a new save
so how do you make a new save
LORED saves data via IndexedDB, which can be removed by clearing cookies.
I'd recommend the downloadable version, it's less prone to bugs.
Where'd you softlock at?
i got soft locked in the 1st min of playing if you put in and output at 0.95x in the difficulty you will be just off of getting 5 rocks. I think if you do not have it at a output of an number that goes in to 1x evenly it will soft lock ngl I think I am dum for putting it at that.
I thought I had fixed that, but maybe I didn't push it live. Oopsie! Also, yeah that would be a really rare setting to pick. Idk why I have it as a slider in the first place
Help! the screen keeps moving up and down, does anyone know how to fix this?
Is it the entire game, or is it a scroll bar in the game which is going up and down?
I think I've seen that wiggling game view before. Try another browser?
It's the whole game, I think it's a bug with the scale feature because every time it moves the scale feature is disabled.
make sure your browser size is on 100%, and then reload the page
thanks for the tip, kind of worked.
i love this game so muchhhh
How do I unlock the penultimate Firestarter upgrade?
there are some other upgrade trees, you need to get ITS GROWIN ON ME from the malignant upgrade tree. however, the juice tree is REQUIRED to get ITS GROWIN ON ME within a human life
hope this helps!
So, make juice progress and the path will become clear?
it should, yes
Drillur, would i be allowed to make a version of this in c#? it would just be for me and i want to do it so i can learn more about c#
also 10/10 game!
Thanks for them kind words, but I gotta say no. Maybe you can use it as inspiration for another kinda game, though, that'd be cool
its all good!
Took me about a week to get through the entire game. I noticed you have reading Sanderson's books as a thing to do while waiting for the update and that made me happy. Overall the game was great and the scaling/balancing was good so it didn't feel impossible or too easy. Thanks for making Lored!
I can't find a how to import a save file on the browser mode and when I paste the link on a browser it gave something called error 400 are you supposed to paste it somewhere in the game?
hey i've been playing for 3 or 4 weeks now and i have been checking in pretty consistently 2 or 3 times a day, but at this point all i can do is upgrade juice upgrades every few days and malignancy upgrades every few days. am i missing something or i am just supposed to be waiting like this
Yeah pretty much. But make sure to have auto upgrades on all your lordes to make it a little faster.
The entirety of Stage 1 should take a few days--if you are only getting an Upgrade or two every few days, you may be on Unpleasant difficulty, or you goofed up somewhere else
I don't think I'm getting that one
I got one for 18.8 billion Millennia :3
is petroleum going to be of use in stage 2 as another LORED?
Idk, but it might just be a joke
Yee
I WON THE BET WITH BEN
PETROLEUM, odd lee, use the second choice whenever there's the option
I've been on this site for a year I think and I just figured out how to put my pfp :(
i d- d- did i- it
WHENS STAGE 2
I NEED MORE
MORE
NOWW
RIGHT NOWW
you spammin lil monster
thanks for playin LORED :D
I'm gonna have to report that I won't be fixing bugs for such a niche use-case, at least for now
someone explain why this took a month
