Windows Phone, Windows Store and Amazon have Survivalcraft 2 too:
I think only Windows 10 users may need to wait a few more hours before they can download it. I will update the links in the sidebar as they start working.
The price will stay $1.99 on all platforms for a short period of time yet before it goes back up to $3.99.
Btw. Do you thing it was a good idea to make buttons control (as opposed to pads) default?Personally I prefer pads, but I think most people are used to buttons. Some complain as they do not realize you can change them in Settings/Controls.

Hey kaalus
I think it should be buttons, but without the “WASD” keys on it, and just make the “WASD” on the buttons an option.
I prefer the touch pad
I’m not sure, but I think that Kaalus made a pool about the “Move Pad” some years ago and the Move Pad was the winner…
I think that the move pad suits better than buttons in a default settings.

I Prefer The Buttons Wayyy More 💯. But Kaalus Can You Add Pets ? Or Tameable Animals ?
Got the game.
I can make maps now with furniture, although not very detailed
The jump button must be separated from the “WASD”
It’s only on Amazon UNDERGROUND – NOT the regular Amazon Appstore. WHY?
http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=5852addde4b0fd4a3f43d946 I like this new poll generator I found.
Kaalus will survivalcraft demo will be stuck in 1.29?
I think he must leave 1.29, since 1.29 will be around a while longer. Remember people might still want to reinstall their SC if they are not buying SC 2. Survivalcraft 2 must have its own demo. Please just do one thing and make the demo a bit more worth it. The time limit is so frustrating that you cannot properly test the game. Rather disable certain features, like saving your worlds and uploading content. This is enough incentive not to just keep the Demo. The rating of the Demo needs to be high as well otherwise it will badly affect sales of SC2. With a new Demo 2 App, new ratings can give it a much better rating than SC Demo. Also fix SC demo as well concerning limits.
I recommend to keep SC 1.29 alive and bring its price down to 99c or something like that. Also rename it to Survivalcraft 1 and highlight the fact that there is a version 2 out. Also fix bugs on it, making it ver 1.30. It is an APP in its own right. Community content is the only place that might be complicated as new worlds will not properly work on SC 1. That needs to be done anyway, because there are current SC 1 users that are not going to buy the new version and you cannot just drop support on them.
Anybody agree?
Completely disagree with everything, No offense just my opinion. Kaalus knows what he’s doing just let him be. Everyone should just buy the Survivalcraft 2 app since its just updating content. It will solve the whole issues of community content. I think the first version of Survivalcraft should be left alone since it shouldn’t be used anymore in the first place, just get Survivalcraft 2. The app is not even that expensive, if tou can afford a bag of chips and a soda than you can definitely afford the game. Although I understand those who don’t have a credit card or any card to buy the game with, I don’t know how to help you there honestly, sorry. Other than that, just buy the game, problem solved, Survivalcraft first version is not necessary anymore.
I always use buttons.
I personally thing that when starting the game the first time, they shoukd have an option about choosing the pads or buttons, especially since the pads ARE easier, much much easier in fact,
I’d say buttons as default because everyone usually comes from Minecraft and I remember seeing videos all the time of people trying Survivalcraft for the first time, but they’d constantly complain about the controls being awful. So I say give the option as soon as it starts or make buttons default.
Plus when they get better if they want to change to the pad by then they’ll probably know you can.
Pads are a lot better, but I have read some of the reviews where they bash SC because it is not the same as MC’s controls, which I think is a lot worse.
I think it is a good idea to keep it at buttons for those people who are a little less fortunate in the neuron department to go into settings.
Just in case you didn’t see, there is a bug that if you edit a piston it deletes all the pistons in that stack except for one.
IPad 2
Windows 10 works fine. I downloaded it a few hours ago.
Pad is great
The buttons do not work well for boats and you did a poll a bit ago and pad won.
I go with pad. Don’t care for the buttons. But I don’t really care which is default because I know I can change it.
Btw. Could you made wood blocks useable for making furniture. Wood is a common construction material, and frankly we have almost zero things we can use for brown except wood planks. But maybe I missed something, only been on 2.0 for little more than half a day.
BTW it looks great so far. Already made a fully functional archery range with flags that pop up on hits, long lasting campfire pits for a campsite, tents with far smoother sides using 8x8x8 blocker bisected accross the diagonal, and stadium bleachers.
Wow im such a noob i didnt know you couldnt make furniture out of wood lol
Buttons, I have tried the touch pad idea but prefer buttons – probably us ‘older’ gamers from the late 80’s / 90’s are more used to buttons! for example I have a touch screen laptop with awesome touchpad – BUT i ALWAYS take my laser mouse with me – even for work purposes. so buttons and physical mouse – even when gaming survivalcraft on the laptop.
I do not care which is default, but I’m glad that there is a wasd pad option, as I use a key mapper to play it with a keyboard :) It would be still cooler if there way native keyboard (WASD and space would be enough) support – Tincore is a bugger to set up these days ;)
Hey Kaalus i don’t know if its a bug or not but i’m playing survivalcraft2 on ios and the game keeps freezing at random times and my tablet doesn’t usually freeze so i don’t know if that’s a bug and if it does freeze it last anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute
YAY THANK YOU SO MUCH KAALUS I AM GOING TO BUY IT ON MY KINDLE FIRE RIGHT AWAY
Also I think touch pad is much better than buttons
I prefer the pad.
Kallus for an error of connection i ve lose my 1.99€ and didn t installed the game!!!…..
How i can rimborse me?
TouchPad. I just can’t get used to individual buttons on a flat touchscreen (tablet).
The buttons are hideous. Default needs to be invisible pads. The default buttons make such a bad impression of an otherwise great game. If I didn’t know better and was playing SC for the first time I’d see those buttons and immediately dismiss it as a low quality Minecraft clone.
Did I mention I don’t like the buttons??
Hey everyone! I just published my first Survivalcraft instructional video on how to make furniture on YouTube! I will make more, check it out! My YouTube channel is called Zakattack.
Can you just give the link to the video? I can’t fine the sc2 video
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBD5fyrPVZBrZbP9lsnPdkg
Please add 2.0 in updates history
I like pads
Changelog (unofficial)
http://es.survivalcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Historial_de_versiones
You should make Survivalcraft 1 free now, as its still the first result we get when searching it in stores, people could get confused and buy the first one before realising there is actually a 2 ;)
I don’t nessasarily think SC1 should be free, but I agree on a name change to something like “Survival Craft Lite” at a price point of $0.99 and it should mention first thing in the description there is a 2.0 version with significant additions. And I would say axe the “Day One” and provide a time limited, feature restricted version of SC2. And the time limit should be significantly long enough to get people hooked,
Or “Survival Craft Legacy”.
touch pad
As with the last time you asked, pads.
Hi kaalus,
I’ve got a problem. I can’t import gamesaves from SC 1.29 to SC 2.
When trying to open a world a error message pops up with the message:
“Error loading word cannot find conversion path from version “1.29” to version “2.0””
is this normal?
Platform: Windows 10
device : lumia 950
Kaalus what do you intend to add in the next versions of SC2?
I play on a PC. Any chance to allow remapping the controls to other keys besides WASD (like arrow keys)?
Is there a way to get old worlds onto this new one? I’m on IPad, if that’s a diffrence
Old worlds are loaded just the same as always. A world I have been making for 4 years perfectly imported and plays flawlessly on SC2. The only exclusion for old worlds is that full stats are not kept (which I personally think should be changed so at least stats since upgrade are kept). But otherwise you can’t even tell the difference importing old worlds to SC2.
Thanks, but I was wondering how you actually import them to the new game.
Make sure you are saving to Dropbox in SC1. Go to the single player worlds screen. Select the world you want to save to Dropbox. Tap the […] button in the lower right corner. Select upload at the bottom. You might have to go through a Dropbox setup if you haven’t already got this setup. I’d walk you through that but I already removed SC1 so I have no frame of reference to guide you.
Anyway, once saved go into SC2. Select “content” on main screen. Select “private”. Again you may have to setup Dropbox here too. Once Dropbox is setup you should get a listing of the worlds you have saved there. Select the world you want and tap download at the bottom. Once downloaded go back to the main worlds screen under single player and it should appear. And yes your textures and skins for that world will come over too. Select and have fun.
Oh wow, ok. Thank you good sir!
I request you to please release survivalcraft for steam. Please…..

Oops that was a reply to a comment, didn’t being it to be a full comment itself. Lol.
I was taken aback by the buttons. I don’t like them and changed it. However I think this change might actually help you retain customers. When I transitioned from Minecraft PE to Survivalcraft, I almost quit and went back to PE simply because the controls were hard to get used to. Then I finally got used to them and preferred them. Having the buttons could definitely help with those first time players and make them more likely to come back and play it again.
The pad was one of the big reasons I initially LIKED Survivalcraft over MCPE – I could never stand the limited control you get with buttons. If the pad wasn’t there, I might not have actually bought it
I love the buttons please don’t get rid of them
Touch pad for me, I like the finer control.
I think u could do a tutorial UI that shows people what they can use and what they can change.
It seems exaggerated to make a piston in survival, to make a compound elevator of several floors I occupy more than 23 stacks to make 20 pistons that I need, it is too much so I hope and it reduces the cost of the piston, my English is bad and I am sorry
VOCÊ ESTÁ CERTO!
Actually, your English is rather good. Some people who are native English speakers are like “OOmz h0w duu ay spel defiatyly?” .
Pads, I could not move until I saw that the buttons replaced the pad :-D
I prefer the Pads, but it really doesn’t matter to me.
Maybe it’s just me but, on Windows when I fly I cannot move upwards, or downwards. I can only go straight. It is pretty annoying.
YES YOU CAN!
SHIFT = LOW
SPACE = UP
i thought you fly where you look? like if you look down you fly down but look up you fly up.
I thought that too, but I guess Kaalus changed it to Space and Shift for Windows.
In options there is an option to disable straight flight in creative mode. Just look for it and then you can fly as normal.
I use the W and S
I wish there was an option for it to be hidden. I thought there used to be – but can’t seem to find one now.
I LOVE pads. They’re so much nicer than what Minecraft has. I thought it was odd that I had to switch it over from buttons. I prefer pads.
I’m having trouble making a faucet that dispenses water. Any idea how the one in the modern kitchen content pack was made?
Where can I find Shaders and Mods for SC2?
Seria ótimo se você tivesse suporte para mods e tê-los na comunidade
As far as I know they don’t exist. There aren’t really any mods for SC. There are a few but they aren’t really mods per say.
There is no real mods per say, modding would require illegally distribution of parts of SC2/sc’s apk, along with illegally modifying it and it would then only be available on Android. Despite this people have made modifications to the apk and released it privately around the web, but they are mostly changing the playermodel into something like bread or adding a singular T-Rex to the game, sorry :(
Bought the Android version. Definitely buying this on Windows 10 too!
How is this idea. I think I’m going to start a whole new collection that I don’t think has been created yet. The idea is “Doorways”. The picture on my WordPress ( https://snakesplaygames.wordpress.com/2016/12/16/survivalcraft-2-released/ ) is one of my doorways. Please rate Bad_1-10_Good on my first door way. Ill release more but don’t expect them to be really good.
hey kaalus. Will the furniture take supplies from inventory or will it just appear when requested? If not can you add that whatever the furniture is made of it requires that item. Also is there a way to make your own working crafting table and furnace?
If you bought the app on google play, is there any way to get it free on pc?
No, you have to buy it for each platform.
I think we can all agree pads are the better option, but the main reason buttons control is there in the first place is to let new players get used to the game, It might be best to have a setup screen on first installation giving players recommended settings and a brief tutorial.
The tutorial wouldn’t go super in depth, just direct you at the different settings, show you the help and recipedia options, and show you how the content works
Guys, please read what Kaalus asked. He is not asking which option is the best. He is asking which is best to be default. The reason is that many MC users find it difficult to get used to pads. The buttons help these guys not leave because they cannot use the pads. Many kids just leave the game when they struggle with the controls. I prefer pads, but think it’s good to make buttons the default.
I agree. I mean, it only takes 10 seconds to change it to pads if you prefer them.
Button’s all the way
I prefer buttons…the pads is really hard to control (for me) maybe because I always use buttons? I tried pad but it really weird though… as a handsome kid, I prefer buttons lol
:)
Guys I already released Piston Lift v.2 !! It is better than Spooner! Please download and try it..and do NOT copy! Also, I build secret room there so find it! (Clue) behind the lift. (Message For Spooner) — Spooner My lift is a bit same of your lift but your lift don’t have glass to see outside, take so much space and your lift use memory banks while I don’t use it … i think I’m better bro :)
(Spooner, your Music map cool) :D
I have uploaded my Johan Real HD 2.0 Texture to Community content. Please give suggestions if you want something changed. I struggled to get a good alternative to sea plants, so I left it, but did increase the resolution. I think the pistons look nice though, as well as the new keg.
Two things:
I have made the water plants look better and made sure that the plants could fit on top of each other.
The new keg is darker on my texture pack and the old one is more redish in clour. If you think I should turn it around, please let me know.
Guys, he arleady asked it but you guys prefer pads.. Maybe you can vote here? https://kaalus.wordpress.com/2014/12/10/move-buttons-or-move-pad/#comments
I personally prefer buttons but you can vote for you own choice. Thanks.
Kaalus – I have a suggestion that relates to both items from this post. Now that more people are playing the game on laptops and/desktops is there any possibility of customizing the keys used for control and the functions of the mouse buttons. The gameplay is much more simple with a touch device – but computers offer most people better graphics options and a faster game. The problem is unless you have a computer/tablet combo machine the controls for a computer are cumbersome. Right click to place blocks, no easy way to get to your quick items (other than touch), and for people who use the mouse left handed the most cement keys are awkward. I have no idea if this is easy or difficult, and maybe I am the only one who has this issue – but hopefully it is something you can incorporate in the future.
Thank you
To turn your “head” just to place the next block or break blocks, make me sea sick. Is there maybe a way to freeze the screen and then the mouse acts like the screen of a phone, so that you can build without “turning your head.” This would help a lot. Maybe in that mode the arrow keys can take over that function. It would help me a lot.
How can i get on Windows Store? I get an error when trying to open the link. Maybe regional limits are set?
I opened the link in the browser from Microsoft and it worked :)
I can’t figure out how to arm the bow/crossbow. In Android, the edit icon shows up when you equip the bow and you get the option to arm it with an arrow. In pc, I get the dirt icon but when I click on it I just get taken back to the game. No option to arm the weapon. Anyone?
I have another question… Is there a way to increase the pad size? I know there used to be one, but I checked the controls and I don’t see it.
We dont need button we need an analog so we can walk and run / we can control our speed to walk and the left screen please make it large it is very small man
I like the touch pad.
Well I like the pads too but it’s good to give people the choice
Game crashing on windows 10. Play only for about 30 seconds then takes me to the home page. Help!?
