Hi everyone!
STARIO is participating in the Ancient Costume Game Fest! You may find more info here: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/ancientcostumegamefestival
Also, we’ve gathered some common player questions to make your tower-building smoother!
Let’s start with a handy tip!
Go to Options → Graphic → UI Scale Multiplier to adjust the overall size of the game interface. Make it as comfy for your eyes as you like 👀.
You can find the Max Frame Rate option under Options → Graphic, which controls how many frames per second the game renders.(V-Sync is enabled by default — you’ll need to turn it off first before you can adjust the maximum frame rate!)
💡 For example:
If you set the limit to 60 FPS, the game will render no more than 60 frames per second.
⚠️ Tip: Don’t set the frame rate higher than your monitor’s refresh rate — your GPU will just be working overtime for no reason!
🌟 Benefits of capping your frame rate:
✅ Reduces GPU load and prevents overheating or fan noise
✅ Stabilizes performance and smooths out frame drops
✅ Saves power (and keeps your fans from sounding like they’re about to take off ✈️)
Go to Options → Input to open the keybinding menu.
🎮 You can change the layout, adjust camera sensitivity, and set everything up exactly how you like it!
📂 To open your save folder:
Launch the game → Click “Load” → Click “Open Save Folder” →
Then click the “⬆” arrow at the top of the folder window to go one level up.
Press ESC → Achievements to see your current progress.
Hover over an achievement for more details — for example, hovering over “Ninety-Nine Souls” will show your current highest population 👥.
Clear the game within 9 in-game hours (not real-world time!! ⏰).
Complete the game with your total population never exceeding 99.
Buildings with higher Stability wear down more slowly, but ⚠️ even the sturdiest structures won’t last forever! Keep some Repair Kits 🧰 handy nearby — just in case.
As the game progresses, Disasters become stronger, and structures will deteriorate faster during Disasters.
They only take effect if the required facility exists on the same tower layer as the residence, not merely within its influence range ⚡.
