Pre Match Briefing – NUTMEG! FAQ’s

[p]Ahead of kick-off on Thursday, we wanted to release a dossier of all the pre-match briefing notes you may need to make your journey in NUTMEG! has every chance of success.. [/p][p] [/p][p]Q) What is NUTMEG!? [/p][p]A) NUTMEG! is a nostalgic football manager game with a deckbuilding twist, set in the 1980s and '90s. Relive the days when the tackles were as hard as the mullets were long and football was about football. [/p][p] [/p][p]Take on a team in Division 4 and rise through the English football pyramid, either with the same team or others, over the course of your two-decade reign. You’ll manage more than just the players, though, with every element of the club under your control – including building up your stadium, balancing the books, and attracting new sponsors. [/p][p] [/p][p]Q) When is NUTMEG! Being released and will NUTMEG! Be released on other platforms? [/p][p]A) NUTMEG! Will launch on Thursday, 26th March at 10AM GMT. At this current moment in time, NUTMEG! is releasing exclusively on Steam. We will provide updates if this changes. [/p][p] [/p][p]Q) How much will NUTMEG! cost? [/p][p]A) NUTMEG! Will cost £19.99/$24.99/€24.99. However, for the first week, there will be a 40% discount. [/p][p] [/p][p]Q) Can NUTMEG! Be played on Steam Deck? [/p][p]A) NUTMEG! Is fully playable on Steam Deck – however, some buttons or options may be disabled for performance reasons. [/p][p] [/p][p]Q) Is Steam Workshop supported? [/p][p]A) Yes!  [/p][p] [/p][p]Plenty of the games data, such as team and player names, can be edited and created into workshop mods using a workshop tool. You can find both the tool and the game data at: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Project Rush [/p][p] [/p][p]Using the tool is simple. Open the NutmegWorkshopTool exe and select “New Workshop Mod” and find the folder where your modded data is housed (we recommend separating your modded data and the games original data for compatibility.) Once selected, you will be asked to give your mod a title, description, and tags (which are split by commas.) You can also add a preview image in a 512x512 PNG format. [/p][p] [/p][p]Additionally, you can select whether the mod should be private, only available to your friends, or viewable by the public. Click submit, and your mod will be accessible on the workshop! [/p][p] [/p][p]The tool can also update your mods by clicking the update button, selecting the mod you wish to update/modify, finding your new files, and editing any of the details as needed. [/p][p] [/p][p]Additionally, there is a utility option that will check to see if your JSON files parse correctly, alongside a PNG list creator. [/p][p] [/p][p]If you want to test your mods before going onto the workshop, you can use the “-modpath \[location]” launch command to open a mod (for example “-modpath C:\\NutmegModding\\MyCoolMod.”) [/p][p] [/p][p]To download a mod, go to the workshop, find what you like, and click subscribe. Your game will automatically update to include the mod. [/p][p] [/p][p]Please Note: Modding can cause game instability. Uninstalling and reinstalling with all mods unsubscribed will fix any issues but could cause lost save data. [/p][p] [/p][p]Q) How do you scout and headhunt? [/p][p]A) Scouting and headhunting is a key part of the recruitment process in NUTMEG! Firstly, you will need to hire a scout – which can be found as part of the Support Staff. [/p][p] [/p][p]Once a scout has been hired, there are three methods of scouting. The first is passive – the scout will find players they feel benefit your team and will gather information on them. [/p][p] [/p][p]Secondly, you can choose to have a scout gather information on a player already listed in the Transfer List to help sweeten a deal and get the player to sign the dotted line. This information is typically a gift they may want alongside their salary. [/p][p] [/p][p]Finally, on the pre-match screen in a Broadcast game, you can click on an opposition player and ask a scout to headhunt them. This will not only add that player to your Transfer List, but also provide the details needed to create the best package possible. [/p][p] [/p][p]Q) What do the lightning bolts mean during a match and how is it triggered? [/p][p]A) The lightning bolts indicate that a player has performed a ’Critical Touch’, which is where a player has been trained on a certain skill and performs it expertly – bypassing the percentage roll. In the match, the chance of getting a Critical Touch is random – but it will be increased by the level of proficiency that the player has in that skill. [/p][p] [/p][p]Not all players can be trained with certain skills, so identify who can and get them hitting the repetitions until it becomes second nature for them. [/p][p] [/p][p]Q) I’ve found a bug / want to give feedback, where can I do that? [/p][p]A) Please send any bugs you find to us via the provide feedback button on our website. Feedback can also be sent there, or posted here on the Steam Forums, or in our Discord.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Want to be In The Know?
