Vintage Story - Community Game Server

[graceful onyx]

Found a really neat area not too far off from Lab Mountain

[tropic yacht]

What tume would tonight be just curious given time zone difference

[spring cradle]

10 PM for Aavak would be in about 5 hours, I'd say?

[long comet]

This design is indeed functional, however due to the stacked large gears on the output side it will have a larger internal resistance, generally it's preferable to try and route all the transmissions' outputs to the sides of as little large gears as you can get away with

[rotund dragon]

🤔

[wary vapor]

Like in windsmithy

[rotund dragon]

You can remove one gear and it still works

That would be 4 total

I maybe I can do wit 3

[wary vapor]

windsmithy does it with 2

[rotund dragon]

How?

🤔

One goes up the other down?

[tough thunder]

Blood magic. I died on the gears to give it arcane power

[wary vapor]

dropped another 100 gears off in the OC post office

[spring cradle]

Very ncie.

[steel crater]

The eidolon will be ready for killing in 45 minutes, but since my last message I think we found some extra heads and made huge progress with just gear farming, so we don't strictly need another big push to finish out getting elks for everyone.

If anyone still wants to kill the Eidolon with me, meet up at the entrance to the RA 45 minutes from this message, but be aware it's not a max-participation event anymore

[tropic yacht]

@spring cradle ty hopefully we can be ready by then, i had figured it would be next week to give folks just getting elk time to prepare

[spring cradle]

I am not saying he will start at 10 PM exact, no idea when Aavak will actually be ready to go, just that that is into the evening a bit.

[vocal holly]

the origin of all bacon!

[spring cradle]

Mmm, bacon.

[rotund dragon]

I see three

[long comet]

All the third one does it counteract the assembly of the rotors

[rotund dragon]

I count it

[long comet]

As they're mounted on a large gear themselves

Oh and splits the output between the 2 machines

[tough thunder]

The third one is just to transmit the power down to the machines. It coulda been removed if we had the space

[rotund dragon]

I'd like to see what you have in mind

[wispy swift]

Translation, only two of the large gears are used for the acctual gearbox. The one on the bottom left is just transmitting power to the crusher and quern.

[rotund dragon]

ill take another look 😭

[tough thunder]

Yup. Thus for the steel mill, it wouldn't be needed as we only have one outgoing power train.

[long comet]

The large gear is powered from the shaft so it increases the speed of the rotation

[wary vapor]

The third gear is to permanently gear up the speed of the quern and pulveriser

[long comet]

This would not be needed if the rotors weren't mounted on large gears themselves

Or in other words we're slowing the rotation immediately after generating the power and we speed it up with this gear back to normal speed just before we consume it

[rotund dragon]

so there is 0.3 1 and 3

it goes in then you can get 1/3 speed 1/1 speed and 3/1 speed

I see if it's balanced

and you can choose I/O

[long comet]

That's the gist of it, though the precise ratios are 8/44, 44/44, and 44/8 which simplifies to 5.5x speedup or slowdown

[rotund dragon]

makes sense

i used 3 because it felt right but its not the actual

[long comet]

yeah you have to use either the radii or teeth number ratios

[rotund dragon]

I don't want to count 😓

[errant surge]

still have to make this on the server but fancy sink

[spring cradle]

Very neat!

I like the hot water / cold water knob touch.

[rotund dragon]

hmmm nope can't figure it ou rn

[wary vapor]

Tin and copper ore getting low again in redsmithy

[long comet]

Wait we made 100 ingots of copper alloys already?

[wary vapor]

sounds about right

and made over 500 gears from it so far

[rotund dragon]

sounds about right 😂

[long comet]

Well, then I have to congratulate our resident redsmith

It's not often people get past a hundred

[rotund dragon]

congrats to Bentham

[kindred mulch]

I’m still very new to vintage story but I have watched the streams, would people mind if I jumped on just to have a look about and see how things have changed?

[tough thunder]

People are always welcome to join

[wary vapor]

It's open to anyone, you can hop on and do anything you like

[errant surge]

but it is winter right now so you might freeze a few times

[rotund dragon]

it's always winter when I'm on

there's clothes in the tailors

[kindred mulch]

Thanks all, I’ll risk the cold for a bit 😂 just didn’t want to take up a space if people were trying to jump on for the gears and heads grind 👍

[inner badger]

I just woke up ><

[wary vapor]

There's never any obligation to participate in these things, anyone can just log on and do whatever. the landscape is dotted with little homesteads people have set up to just do their own thing

[kindred mulch]

Thank you, it’s amazing how welcoming you all are!

Was more concerned I know player numbers online has a limit so didn’t want to potentially push someone out who wanted to work on things.

[wary vapor]

eh, no way we'd hit that limit when aavak isn't streaming

[rotund dragon]

and he is not streaming

or is he?

[spring cradle]

He is not.

[rotund dragon]

Ouch I sat too much

Shouldn't do that yet

[south cypress]

are we ready for the expedition tonight?

[steel crater]

yup

[south cypress]

so i'll just wait for Aavak to join

[rotund dragon]

Oh oh

[rotund dragon]

Any idea when?

[south cypress]

no idea other than when Aavak joins

[rotund dragon]

😓

I can lend my elk if I can't make it today

At least if someone doesn't have one but wants to go

[rotund dragon]

I need to go to bed
Hopefully everything goes well

[cold berry]

Can I get a general headcount of how many people are going on the adventure? Im mostly just cuirous for how chaotic the journeys gonna be.

[tropic yacht]

assuming it isn't too late at night and the spouse can get an elk there would be him as well

[inner badger]

I will be joining next week for sure <3

[acoustic pine]

[spring cradle]

Picture this - you're just going to go up some stairs, and suddenly something that is moving unexpectedly pops into view that you don't immediately recognize and you recoil in fright and fall off the stairs. Gah, shiver! you think, but wait, no. It's just a...

Moose bum.

Your elk is a menace, Bentham.

[south cypress]

welp that was a fun stream

[mellow gull]

Alright. Shelab's farm has been harvested and replanted with year-round crops. 6 storage pots are currently being made (I've stuck carrots wherever I can fit them for now). Let me know if there's anything more that's needed

[wispy swift]

If you need any more space in the interim, feel free to use any available chests at the post office! I don't imagine it'll be too busy for a bit.

[mellow gull]

The veggies need to be in the cellar, unfortunately. But thanks for the offer

[wispy swift]

Well, as long as the chests are returned, I won't know any different if they grow legs and hang out in a cellar for a bit. 😆

[mellow gull]

Fair. I should be getting some pots early next stream though. And it's not like I couldn't fit more, but I have thoroughly ruined Shelab's nice organization and I aim to restore it.

[lethal canopy]

Thank you so, so much @fringe atlas for all your hard work and amazing organisation making sure everyone got an elk for the expedition. It's very much appreciated.

[fringe atlas]

Demi, don't worry about the storage, I can easily fix it later, and it is my fault for taking away 8 urns for the expedition. Thank you Agrajag 😄

[wicked locust]

I assume we all made it to the Lazarus last night?

[rotund dragon]

How long did it take?

[tough thunder]

5ish hours i think it roughly came out to.

[rotund dragon]

Thats a long time 😱

[vocal holly]

it was like hurding cats on catnip 😂

[rotund dragon]

makes sense

[wicked locust]

I assume we will be headed out from there to the village next week

[mellow gull]

I suspect it would be possible for a single traveller to catch up with them, depending on how confident you are being out and about.

[rotund dragon]

I can try 😆

but not if the stream starts around 23h again

[wicked locust]

Im at the Lazarus

[blissful cipher]

On elk, the par time for the trip to the Lazaret is about 2 in game days.

So you should easily catch up to us :)

[rotund dragon]

Sounds good

[tropic yacht]

moose ? 😛

@vocal holly meow

I'm just glad they are trying to fix the elk, I've never really logged much time on one, and I think I'd rather walk

[rotund dragon]

That reminds me that I still need to change the bit

[tropic yacht]

I need to decide if I want to turn round and head back then change a bit

[long comet]

Looking at how they're going to change elk I chanced upon this patchnote in the unstable version:
Tweak: Slightly nerf block light level boosts introduced in 1.20

So it seems the lighting will become slightly moodier in the next stable

[rotund dragon]

Hmmm

[tropic yacht]

that is not good, it's like when Enshrouded made the shroud "shroudier" I had to stop playing it's too dark and foggy.

I need a tweakaroo for Vintage Story, where I can completely over-ride the gamma

[long comet]

Gamma is adjustable and fog effects will be reduced too

So they're trying to improve lighting

Because the light gradient was upset with the boost

[rotund dragon]

???

[tropic yacht]

moodier implies darker

[long comet]

The problem was that with the boost there was a stark drop in light just outside the light radius which looked off

The game is still pitch black at night even with the light changes

[tropic yacht]

what did they originally intend to do make a lantern brighter or ?

[long comet]

There was a problem where a held lantern was dimmer than a placed one

[rotund dragon]

Ah since you're vision impaired I guess it's worse

[long comet]

The change fixed this issue but caused some other ones connected with lighting

Now it's about striking a balance between light intensity and not making the light garish

[fringe atlas]

@tropic yacht I really love riding the elk across open countryside or rolling hills, but I do find I need to get off and climb, or run through the forests. I got stuck in trees and killed by wolves because I panicked, even though as soon as I got back and was on foot I was perfectly well equipped to deal with them. So now, if I see a dense forest coming up on the mini-map I try to skirt around it or just do that bit on foot and call the elk with my flute once I am done.

I also carry ladders so I can just scale a cliff if needed and then call the elk on the other side. Doing these things just makes it a much less frustrating experience in general.

[tropic yacht]

I do like the elk in a way, but it's very difficult and rather frustrating when I'm trying to stay in a group with others and I can't go so fast. I think once I can get some ladders made it may help somewhat, but what I lost track of was the group, the white lettering of the names was very hard to see in snow, as were the pitfalls. If they got too small they were completely lost. 🙂 Shadow is usually good at using co ordinates, but was also having a struggle. I hope it gets better with experience but it was a very stressful time

[fringe atlas]

Forgive me if I am teaching you to suck eggs here, but do you know how to use your map to pin a co-ordinate so you can just follow the marker on your minimap?

[rotund dragon]

I've never heard that saying before 😧

[fringe atlas]

Teaching your granny to suck eggs! Means teaching a simple concept to someone who possibly already knows it well enough.

[rotund dragon]

Thanks

[tropic yacht]

I've only ever used it to map a place where i have already been

[fringe atlas]

BUt, my science teacher always used to say, 'you can't know it unless someone tells you how'

[tropic yacht]

not a blank section of territory with features I'm unfamiliar with.

[fringe atlas]

Do you have a moment to chat, I can teach you if you want?

[vocal holly]

??

[rotund dragon]

¿

[fringe atlas]

I can stream how to do it for you

[long comet]

I think that was a reference to being a herded cat

[fringe atlas]

@tropic yacht If you take a look at the wiki https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Worldmap there are two videos at the bottom of the page that show exactly how to add map markers - you can do it on the map or via the chat window, (I prefer just clicking on the map personally) there is a checkbox you can mark to say if you want to track on the minimap or not - if you check it it will give you a minimap marker to follow.

Also, the co-ords of where you are can be toggled on and off with CTRL V - so you can have them visible at all times if someone asks you where you are. Hope that is helpful.

[wispy swift]

I believe Dark mentioned they do have the coordinates up on their screen while the chat was flying at some point yesterday. I got the impression it was a case of too many things happening all at once, once they fell behind. Between trying to navigate the terrain, look at coordinates, look at chat, look at Aavak's stream, etc, it got quickly overwhelming.

I do like the idea of a buddy system when Aavak brought it up and I'd like to suggest potentially taking it one step further from my experience with backpacking. Whenever I've backpacked with any reasonable distance involved with a group, we'd end up splitting into several smaller groups based on speed. Those who liked to go fast would form a front group, while the medium paced, or slow hikers would follow behind in their own groups. Whenever the front group took a break, they would wait until the whole group arrived before starting again.

In this case, it would be possible to go into next week with the understanding that we go to sleep every night. The faster elk rider's could go ahead and midafternoon begin looking for a good spot for a waystation, begin setting it up and provide coordinates for those behind. Once everyone arrives, the server can sleep and then proceed in the morning. It might help alleviate some of the concern of holding the group back if there are specific smaller groups to travel in and distinct points to aim for each day, as well as keep travel mostly in the daytime.

[tropic yacht]

I just want to say thank you Sblibbo for putting it better than I seemed to. It definitely was quite a trial last night. I was trying to navigate terrain and rather poorly because it's white on white and the dark bits could be pits could be not who knows. I was trying to learn to control the elk, look at the chat in game which is VERY hard to do because the print is quite small (unless there is a way to enlarge it?), Aavak's stream wasn't just a distraction to add, but it was also stream delayed so I was getting the information later than it was being delivered. The last bit no one can control it's what it is. Add to it that I am in fact visually impaired, I have a difficult time seeing things, the audio cues with the whistle helped but my daughter also wanted to expand on what you said. Separate myself and shadow and have each of us go with one EXPERIENCED rider who is willing to go slower, that way we can be with someone who knows the game and the elk and guide us through it. There are also two things I miss. The colour map which I was using in my old world but, especially the markers that tell you where other people are in relation to you. They are in the Lost Lake game, and they were in mine but they are not present in this server. They don't work at a large distance but they do help if you're a small ways away from another person. I'm not mad, I just got frustrated and felt like no one was listening to what I needed. I don't like imposing my issues on anyone let alone a group of people I don't know that well. In a perfect world all games would be more accessible but the truth is, the disabled community has been working hard to try to change the industry and some are starting to listen.

(sorry for the huge post but)

[fringe atlas]

Not sure about any of the other things that have been mentioned, I know that Aavak is keen to keep the group together as much as we can, but I reckon a buddy system is still a good idea, so even if someone gets lost, they are not lost alone.

You can increase the UI size by one or two notches without it taking up too much screen real estate - Settings - Interface - GUI scale. I think bumping it up to 10 if you haven't already might be helpful.

Also, just a thought, do you think a colored lantern might help with the terrain being white?

[steel crater]

I was going to suggest the same thing about you and shadow being with an experienced rider, and I was going to suggest it be me. I was one of the first people to get an elk after our first return from the Lazaret, so I have a lot of experience riding and confidence in pathfinding. I also have two monitors and can keep track of Aavak through his stream no problem.

We don't have to consider ourselves completely separated, though. Every time we regroup and set off I'll keep track of you two and help out if you start veering off course or fall down a ravine.

@fringe atlas If it's possible to change it, could we enable that map option that shows nearby players as little icons on the map? That would probably help a lot to make next Saturday go smoother.

[wispy swift]

Yeah, I thought that was the intention as well. Was just a suggestion from me based off of how the journey progressed, especially the last leg, and maybe having a travel plan organized to help avoid some of the frustration that occurred.

The splitting off into smaller groups is basically what happened on the last leg before the lazaret. We set off as a full group, but it didn’t take long for the speedy folks to get well ahead. Some of us who hadn’t been to the lazaret yet were in the middle and stopped to mark the trader along the way at which point we had lost sight of everyone who knew where they were going so we waited until Aavak arrived with his group at the end. Once we started going again, it was shortly after where Suomi and Wyn went on ahead, Dark split off to meet up with Shadow and Hoshi who had already separated a bit around a lake, and Aavak and I finished as the second to last group to arrive. If the aim is to stay together as one large group, ideally it should be the slowest at the front to set the pace for everyone else, but that comes with it’s own set of problems when exploring new territory.

[inner badger]

I feel bad I couldn't make it the whole trip with you guys, but next week ill catch up for sure

[tropic yacht]

I hope so Rye 🙂 would be nice to see you along

I think I'd sum it up as would you ask your grandma to go on a marathon with you? and don't try to say but there are some fit old folk 😛

[tropic yacht]

The reason I dont tend to play with strangers and gravitate toward my family is simple, theu know me and are willing to help me as much as i need. I never want to feel like a burden to others so sometimes I will msle decisions agsinst my own needs for the group. I habe been a gsmer since the 80s I am not gibimg it up just because I cant get a pair of glasses or total gamma control. 😅 so expect more silliness from me in tje future :p

Psst this is me on a cellphone so tje spelling is awful

[inner badger]

when I move down to live with my grandma she and I plan to go on walks often cause she enjoys it, we get to chat about anything and bond more, and I get exercise to help me keep losing weight to my second goal!

and hell yea Dark, lemme know if I can help too, I love helpin others even if my mind tends to go: zoom zoom!

[blissful cipher]

I wouldn't ask, but I'd also not stop her if she signed up on her own. I would absolutely advise caution if I knew she had bad knees and asthma, though. Even still, if she insisted, I'd be ready with a hot cuppa after she was done, succeed or fail. I'd probably even hold in the "I told you so"s too. She is my grandmother after all, and I love her. And her cookies. ;)

[tropic yacht]

lol I used to love my grandfather's lemon/lime/orange drink he made

[spring cradle]

WARNING: Very slight spoilers for upcoming village content
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsyy8pziGLI

[blissful cipher]

We're past chapter 2 aren't we?

[spring cradle]

Yep, but there is Elk News in there.

At least I think we are past Chapter 2. If that's the Lazarette.

[south cypress]

i assume we can't update the server with this update?

[mellow gull]

There is a very slight spoiler for the village in there, but otherwise this video seem safe

[spring cradle]

From devblog:

Can I start playing 1.21 now?
We are decently confident that your v1.20 or older worlds will not break. If you want to be on the safe side, wait until the stable release. (But we recommend now not continuing a world you created in any of the pre-releases of 1.21.)

[spring cradle]

Oh damn, good catch. I will add a spoiler warning.

[mellow gull]

It's very very slight, but I'm still mentioning it in case people wanna reach the village completely blind

[south cypress]

is this update a frendly for the world we have?

[long comet]

it's release candidate right now so no update yet

But it does say there's terrain blending between new and old generation

[south cypress]

how far do we play until we play in anew world

[wicked locust]

Do we have any idea when we plan to head out of the lazaret?

[south cypress]

don't we go to the village from the lazaret this weekend ?

[wispy swift]

I would assume at or near the beginning of stream, but as to when the stream will start, I don’t believe anything has been said about that yet.

[wicked locust]

Yes but when this weekend

I would like to be awake if its early in the morning for me

[south cypress]

only Aavak know what time in the weekend

[wicked locust]

Hence why I ask

[south cypress]

perhaps the sametime he started his stream last weekend

[mellow gull]

I'm doubtful even Aavak knows. Sometimes the start of community day just happens

[south cypress]

so only god knows >_>

[rotund dragon]

Please no

[vocal holly]

who can say how Aavak time works 😂

[long comet]

It's simple, Aavak is just on a very eccentirc oribit around earth, leading to uneven time dilatation

[steel crater]

I'd bet that the stream will start Saturday 'sometime (tm)', we'll all pile in, and then we'll putz around for an hour to give all of the travelers a chance to see the stream notification and log in in time to continue the journey with us.

While we wait, I'll slap down a bunch of footlockers outside the house so everyone can temporarily dump the excess materials they were carrying for me, and then I'm going to work on an elk road back west until it's time to depart. I plan on making it as straight as possible with only one diagonal segment per waystation to make the z change between waystations.

And note that I said 'elk road'. Which means no stone paths (for now); just clearing the foliage and sculpting the terrain to be smooth-ish, and possibly making packed dirt bridges to cross water. The simple design can cover a lot of distance quickly and we can dramatically lower the travel time between origin and Laz if we don't have to faff about on our elks finding the path.

[spring cradle]

Sounds like a good idea.

[steel crater]

The video has the sort of spoiler that you can only realize is a spoiler after you've seen it yourself in-game, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The patch notes, however, definitely have some hard spoilers so read with caution.

My favorite non-spoiler parts of the new patch:
Tweak: Player now cannot accidentally harm their own ridden mount
Feature: In multiplayer, players can now revive other players using a poultice
Feature: Added bear hide armor
Tweak: Hats now provide protection from rainfall
Tweak: Buckets now stack to 5
Tweak: Allow the player to take a meal serving from crocks on shelves
Tweak: Held Temporal Gear and worn Temporal Gear Amulet now emit faint glow

The release is still considered unstable, so we'll have to wait for these new features... for now.

[vocal holly]

I say the two riders on an elk would be a solid one for this trip for two ressons
one we could take shifts driving and we would need less elks

[austere furnace]

Going to try and check more frequently and not miss the server this weekend. >_<

Though I havent touchedn VS in a few weeks so im going to be very lost for a bit initially XD

[tough thunder]

He's probably gonna need to start the stream pretty soon after opening the server, with all the people who logged at the lazarette.

If the server is opened hours before stream like past few weeks, I can definitely see problems arising.

[rotund dragon]

Haha

[austere furnace]

Actually how close to server cap was the group for the expedition? I dont want to jump on just to be doing stuff alone and stop someone from taking part in expedition if you were hitting the cap.

[south cypress]

i am sure Aavak can raise the cap

if needed

[rotund dragon]

The deathcap 😈

[south cypress]

it's the poisoner whom will raise the deathcaps in the food XD

[rotund dragon]

Lazarette sounds like a shit hole for some reason 🤔

[south cypress]

i mean it is place they put sick people to die in so

[rotund dragon]

I see so it's that kind

[long comet]

It's more so a historical name for a quarantine/Palliative care for people with diseases seen as having high virulence

[south cypress]

that is what i said but more simple

[long comet]

well the hope is that the people there don't die

[rotund dragon]

There's always the oubliette when you need it

[wispy swift]

I wasn’t checking super regularly, but I think we were fairly consistently 10–15 away from server cap. And more like 20 prior to the stream starting. I wouldn’t be too concerned about it, especially since there are still people who opted to not go in both Origin and Lab.

[blissful cipher]

We had plenty of room, yeah, shouldn't be a problem :)

For many reasons 😅

[wicked locust]

This would be soo much easier if we could travel by boat

[south cypress]

maybe when we have anew world

[vocal holly]

a whole new world....

[south cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/aladdin-disney-toon-disney-gif-5196524200293657131

Any word, today, when the server will open, and stream start?

[wicked locust]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-squid-girl-no-no-way-hell-no-gif-5552213

[mellow gull]

Aavak works in mysterious ways. All we can do is wait.

[south cypress]

i assume the server starts same time he streams as we can continue our journey

[signal orbit]

I was away last week. Hopefully I'll be able to stock up and run to meet you all.

[steel crater]

Absolutely possible

[heavy condor]

oh right its saturday

[knotty helm]

considering its aavak, stream and server probably start the moment its the most inconvenient 😄

[mellow gull]

Tnoin, go get busy!

[vocal holly]

Demi go do stuff too 😛

[mellow gull]

But Tnoin is the cursed one

[knotty helm]

i mean, i am considering cooking some food and then taking nap before stream starts

[mellow gull]

👍

[vocal holly]

you should have time

[knotty helm]

salad made, and you see:
aavak doesn't trust it when i claim it

but once his spies (leafein) report my absence, then he knows he has actionable intelligence 😄

[mellow gull]

Dang, where's Leafein when you need him?

[knotty helm]

he's in the walls, watching us, reporting our every move

[mellow gull]

👀

[mellow gull]

silently goes off to cook cause Aavak wouldn't dare start the server

[quick solar]

silently copies Demi

[lunar lion]

silently wakes Aavak up

[wicked locust]

https://tenor.com/view/hes-in-the-walls-in-the-walls-wall-muppet-panicking-gif-27546618

[rotund dragon]

Too late, stream ended.
Everyone missed it

[mellow gull]

[south cypress]

man i wen't to a store buy drinks and some microwaveoven ready pizza for the night XD

[mellow gull]

Look at everyone doing their best to summon Aavak

[tough thunder]

Hmmm, I should just go have a quick nap. I'll have the time, won't I

[quick solar]

wait we're supposed to be summoning Aavak?

[spring cradle]

What do you think they're doing?

[oak gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/heinzel-evil-dance-cursed-summoning-devil-gif-17325881

[knotty helm]

...i have frozen pizza in the freezer, i could go for some of that...

[quick solar]

I thought we were trying to patiently wait and failing at the patient part

[mellow gull]

We are failing at the patient part, yes

[blissful cipher]

I have some admin to do. You best get good at the patient part quickly, or it'll feel like it takes me twice as long as it actually does before I start the server :P

[mellow gull]

Did Aavak just tell us to git gud?

[blissful cipher]

In a word. Yes.

[rotund dragon]

git commit

[spring cradle]

Programmer identified.

[rotund dragon]

i would be patient but the doctor is on vacation so my next appointment is in september

[spring cradle]

But no worries, no rush. A later start is probably better considering there were quite a few later session people at the Lazarette.

And if anyone's feeling VS withdrawal, there's always the Lost Lake server.

[south cypress]

so we have a skill issue XD

[graceful onyx]

I gotta take a trip to the farmers market today anyway, I dont even have to be patient, I can just keep myself busy with things :3

[blissful cipher]

If it's any consolation, I'm also waiting on someone, so you aren't having to practice patience alone ^^ In the mean while, how's everyone's day going?

[south cypress]

doing good

[steel crater]

My brother has left on a trip, so I'll be alone in the house for the next week

[tough thunder]

Alright. Arms are jello from rock climbing after not doing it for a while.

[graceful onyx]

am having some tea now while I mentally prepare for the day, things are good so far

[inner badger]

ooh I havent missed the opening woot!

XD

[mellow gull]

I'm recovering from being sick, but otherwise things are fine here

[spring cradle]

Decent here!

[blissful cipher]

Sorry to hear you were sick Demi, hope it was nothing too rough. Glad you're recovering now though :)

[mellow gull]

Just a lingering (very stubborn) cough at this point.

[knotty helm]

Hey 😊 Aavak! 🐉 me 🙋‍♂️, leafein 🌿 and 🤝 citrea 🌸 are playing 🎮 pathfinder 🎲 now ⏰, so 😬 it would 🙅‍♂️ be 🐝 really 😅 inconvenient 🚫 if the stream 📡📺 were to start 🚀 now

[blissful cipher]

Leafein already told me :p

[lunar lion]

🤮

[blissful cipher]

Also, I second Leafein.

[knotty helm]

[knotty helm]

make some nice tea

thats good for aavakening

...well, some are better than others

[mellow gull]

'hate' is a weird way to spell 'tea'

[knotty helm]

but i am sure you have some very nice wakeup tea

you could even call it "Tea: the aavakening"

[blissful cipher]

XD

[inner badger]

LOL

[south cypress]

currently noming of peas

[rotund dragon]

so it has come to peas

[mellow gull]

I hope it gives you peas of mind

[graceful onyx]

Thea is a good game, I should look into playing it again

[rotund dragon]

We have a hoard of dragons in this server

[wispy swift]

Well, I can’t say I mind a later start as I’ve got a few hour drive ahead of me first.

[knotty helm]

oh! i get it

aavak is waiting for bentham to fall asleep/go to work before he starts

[mellow gull]

So next time we need to abduct Bentham

[rotund dragon]

But put him asleep

[south cypress]

asleep with the fishes? XD

[mellow gull]

No, not hurt him. Just make him unavailable for a bit

[wary vapor]

[rotund dragon]

Who else is going to pay for everything in the server?

[south cypress]

joking aside we are still waiting on Aavak but whom is Aavak waiting on?

[knotty helm]

woooow guys, there's easier ways to distract bentham. just start streaming horizon/FTL in discord 😄

[rotund dragon]

Aavak

[knotty helm]

alternativly:

[rotund dragon]

What's in the box?

[steel crater]

ty for the update

[wary vapor]

Related to the recent update I assume (or the technical issues from last week? 😬 )

[mellow gull]

No worries whatsoever!

@knotty helm will do, just to spite leaf

[knotty helm]

thank you quaggan!

[wary vapor]

@blissful cipher Please don't roll it back, these past two weeks in particular i've been running flat out every minute I'm on the server to earn gears, I don't have it in me to do that work again.

[rotund dragon]

😭

[wary vapor]

If you want to punish, kill command them

[rotund dragon]

???

I can't be in the call.
what is happening?

[nocturne magnet]

there is a little discussion about stuff that happened, things up in hte air currently

[rotund dragon]

Oo

[quick solar]

looking at commands for solutions and found a funny one
.crash
crashes the game (client side)

[steel crater]

lol

I think alt+F4 does that, too

[quick solar]

I think this one is to specifically get the crash logs properly

.notminecraft
Discription in the command handbook and when .help notminecraft reads: "No, this is not minecraft". Command displays a banner in the top right corner of the game that states "No, this is not minecraft". The banner also displays the minecraft icon with a red "X" marking through the image. To toggle off, run the command again.

very usefull command for Aavak

[steel crater]

The pow-wow is over. The server will be spun up in about an hour with no rollback.

[cold berry]

Try .weather

If I remember, all the .(something) commands are client side

the /(something) are the admin commands

[lyric dew]

I was in the middle of chores when I remembered it was Saturday lol man this has been A Week tm

[quick solar]

they are client side but some do require server side permission
like for example the .chasel which brings up the character selection screen needs the appropriate server side permissions
there are a few others but I don't recall them off the top of my head

[steel crater]

I use .online almost every time I log in to see who's online

[quick solar]

i think you were the one that let me know about it and thank you so much

[south cypress]

i gonna take a 30 minute nap hope the stream won't start

[fringe atlas]

Aavak took the opportunity to take a bit of a nap, gonna start waking him up in 10 mins.

[nocturne magnet]

Id almost say let him sleap.

[graceful onyx]

I know if I nap more than 30 mins I just wake up groggy. I gotta nap for like 20 ish mins or stay asleep for like 3 hours to wake up any level of refreshed

[lyric dew]

Ye less then 25 or more than 3 hours is about how I have to do it too

[nocturne magnet]

fair, I just remember my recovery, (from a wery mild surgery), any sleap after where I actually sleapt I didnt want to end until I had really naturaly woken up..

[inner badger]

yea bro needs sleep, gotta heal nicely <3

[blissful cipher]

Just getting things set up for the stream, won't be long :)

(And by things, I mean a cup of tea, naturally XD)

[south cypress]

i have my thermos cupo full of black brew

[quick solar]

not yet @tropic yacht

[tropic yacht]

you on foot Rye?

[quick solar]

Aavak is about to start it but keeps getting distracted

[wispy swift]

I generally operate off of the rule that unless Aavak is actually in the game, the password has not been given out yet. And even after, it depends on conversation distraction levels.

@heavy condor Seems like you had logged off for the day, but I got your gear. They're in a postbox in Lab post office.

[heavy condor]

Thanks. If theres anything i can do to help next weekend with supplies or something to send down to lab i will do so

[mellow gull]

Since Sblibbo is out of town, I suspect there won't be any mail deliveries for a while. However, I'd be willing to meet you at Mokkun's place and drop of the gears.

[heavy condor]

Just having the supplies ready is enough, I'm Willing to attempt the trek from origin down that way, since I kinda want to see in person what lab has done aesthetics wise

gives me ideas on what to do to improve my lumberyards Aesthetics as well

[mellow gull]

Sure thing. We'll the gear is in a postbox with your name on it

Oak town plan:

[spring cradle]

Sadly, no iron veins found, but Sblibbo location has not been mineshaft searched, I only toured nearby caves.

[lyric dew]

Did you do the cave that was filled in by the peat/dirt

[spring cradle]

Where was that one_

*?

[steel crater]

Thank you everyone that helped and will help with Oak Town; I'll post more useful reference images in the near future so we're all on the same page

[wispy swift]

Scribbly isn't with us at the Village Linni.

[spring cradle]

Yeah, I was searching for a new iron mine area, or at least a vein or two. Sblibbo's location has potential, but I only found chromite and tin out in the open in nearby caves.

On the upside, Mokkun and Nth have a copper mine ready made for them.

[wispy swift]

Hopefully a shaft mine will reveal a vein or two. Of course it's the very poor chromite you found in the area. 😆

[cold berry]

What kind of statue do we want to put in Oaktown

[tough thunder]

Elk statue

[south cypress]

is the village layout same every world gen

[rotund dragon]

Go and find out

[wispy swift]

At the very least, the orientation of it is. That's how Oak Town's location was planned ahead of time. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same though. It's something like a set piece location, in the same vein as the RA is a specifically designed dungeon and isn't procedurally generated.

[south cypress]

i assumed it might be same but you never know right?

[quick solar]

Love this game a bit more from a technical standpoint now.
I found the sound of boats way too loud and turning it off with accessibility tweaks mod felt weid. Thankfully that mode gave me the name of the sound file so I just grabbed it reduced the volume on audacity and problem solved.
took me like 5 minutes

[rotund dragon]

Lol

[south cypress]

so you cna change the sound that boat makes XD

[steel crater]

The centerpiece will be a gigantic oak tree, hence the name.

There will be room for statues around it and anywhere else in town, though.

[steel crater]

I've been to villages in different worlds; they're all the same, including orientation.

[wicked locust]

https://tenor.com/view/ina-tomorrow-ninomae-inanis-excited-excitement-omg-gif-25391680

Tomorrow I WILL find iron (fist shaking at heavens).

[steel ore]

no idea why but discord keeps remiving this from my active threads in the server

[steel crater]

that happens to me, too.

[wispy swift]

If a thread has no activity for a few days, discord is set to automatically hide them last I checked.

[graceful onyx]

did we bring extra seeds out to Oaktown? I imagine we will need a supply run or two out there to help get a foothold on a stable food source, like enough glass for a large greenhouse or two

[steel crater]

I brought a stack of turnips, a stack of grain, a stack of oak seeds, and half a stack of flax.

The weather will probably get warm enough for regular farming before we can put up a greenhouse.

========
To anyone reading this and looking forward to the stream on Saturday, please check out the thread I started for Oak Town at #1401022676197314560

when did he say server would be up? my twitch lagged

[vocal holly]

after a nap i think

[inner badger]

ok lol

Just so people know, I think there are some pies left in my elk. I won't be able to play this week so someone else might as well take them.

[swift oyster]

oh good my insomnia is gonna let me watch vintage story

[steel crater]

Aavak signed off last week saying we would start this week doing some building of Oak Town and then set off for the Devastation.

I don't want anyone to feel like they can't help because they don't know what to do, so I put together a little something to help us all be on the same page. Since we're waiting for the stream to start, now would be a good time to give it a look:

#1401022676197314560

[cold berry]

I want to build a large barn where everyone can put their elks, might be more of a two building size place though with how many people are here

[frigid matrix]

might need a pasture to go along with it, because theres like 25+ elks arent there?

[steel crater]

We got space for it. I suggest across the street from the post office; that will put it as close as possible to where people most frequently go

In the village there's a barn door in the wall that lets animals out to pasture. We could do the same thing

[cold berry]

Thinking something like this for size, itd fit 16 elks which I think would be most if not all of them currently, might make it 1 pen longer to make it 20 total, this size however does not account for decoration however so itd probably have to be a bit larger than as it is now at 17x21

if we want 20 pens itd be exactly 21x21 not accounting for any decorations inside or outside

[steel crater]

Looks good, but you dont have to bend over backwards to make it big enough to accommodate the highest possible number of tenants.

[cold berry]

Its mainly to fit into a building slot, it depends on what kind of building sizes we are looking for

Most stables are fairly big compared to human accomidations anyways

[wispy swift]

Don’t forget, that although there are a boatload of elk present at the village now, this is more than likely the largest number of elk Oak Town is likely to see. There is a reason I didn’t make the post offices large enough to have everyone in a location have a permanent mailbox.

[cold berry]

It could allways just be cut in half and only have one row of pens so we have 8-10 instead

[mellow gull]

No more 8 L of rot in my bowl, huh

[cold berry]

Coral reefs are looking good though

[inner badger]

weeee

[low hill]

an amazing command

[quick solar]

I shared that one last week

[south cypress]

[blissful cipher]

Okay, getting things set up now :)

Heat is rough to sleep through -_-

[inner badger]

aww

[low hill]

it should be illegal for Canada to be more than 20 celcius we aren't built for this

[lunar lion]

Have you considered sleeping in your fridge?

[inner badger]

lol

[low hill]

then where is the little gnome who turns the light on and off suppose to sleep? ):

[lunar lion]

snugglebuddies

[low hill]

:)

[cold berry]

How about just opening your fridge while you sleep? Couldnt possibly have negative concequences.

[low hill]

if you leave the door open the fridge would no longer count as a room

[knotty helm]

so, do i have time to cook, or is it an all hands on deck kind of preparing?

[inner badger]

[graceful onyx]

I just woke up, but i am gonna make a cup of tea whether I have time before the server starts or not. I would also recommend others do similar and make sure you take care of yourself and at least have a snack/drink. Maybe take a short walk around the house or block if you are particularly antsy or anxious :3

[blissful cipher]

You have until i find a good screenshot for the announcement.

[inner badger]

so enough time to make a cuppa tea XD

[knotty helm]

time for a nap, cup' o tea and 5-course meal then 😄

[inner badger]

lol

Context for Oak Town, the expedition just arrived at the Village location last Saturday, so it's a very new project.

[inner badger]

its awesome

[low hill]

ah cool, I figured the village would be out grown at some point so this is interesting to see

I've only played singleplayer and thought multiplayer would be fun so I'm happy to hop on and see what I can do to help :)

[graceful onyx]

I mean, you probably still have time to make tea before things get moving. You definitely have time to get some water though

[inner badger]

welcome in!

if you aren't sure where ya might fit in don't stress too much, cause material gatherers are the best sorts of folks <3

there are always need for folks willing and able to help where possible <3

and ya got 3 villages you can choose to settle in if you wanna live around others!

Origin (spanw)
Labrador Mountain (To the south of spawn)
and the brand new WIP town of Oak Town!

[low hill]

I think I saw someone say something about a post office that sounds interesting :p

[inner badger]

Yup we've a postmaster who runs it, So inquire with them to see about being a post person <3

which I thinnnnk is Sblibbo?

[low hill]

Labrador is such a funny name considering I'm from Atlantic Canada it triggers my brain lol

[inner badger]

It was because Aavak leading the expidition there was like herding puppies XD

Labrador puppies XD

[low hill]

also funny that it's a more southern place

[wispy swift]

Yup! I'm, the current postmaster! Nothing much to it really. I've been setting up the post offices as public spaces for people to have an easy place to drop stuff off to be sent elsewhere when they may not be interested in or able making the journey themselves. Anyone is able to swing by and help with deliveries if they have extra inventory space when they're travelling to a different town.

[austere furnace]

I couldn't sleep last night so i spent from 2am to 6am laying on the couch watching anime never realising i could have been on the server the whole time (for referance it is now 1:30pm) 😦

[inner badger]

Pictures from the Cave we went to in stream (spoilered those since story content for those that havent seen the streams or don't wish to be spoilered) The exception is the lovely mountain I saw on my way back from one dungeon. Beautiful looking

posted in the wrong thread XD

[blissful cipher]

Heyo @everyone!

After our latest stream, we’ve finally unearthed the last of the story content in Vintage Story. The final echoes have been heard, the last secrets uncovered—and with that, our chapter in this world (at least for now) draws to a close.

Now, I know story isn’t the main course for many of you—it’s the crafting, the survival, the slow taming of the wilderness. And that’s fair! But for me, the call of the lore was what kept me wandering, and now that I’ve followed it to the end… I think it’s time to set my pack down and rest a while, until new tales are ready to be told.

Which brings us to the server.

Vintage Story will no longer be our “official” community game—but fear not, I’m not sprinting headlong into something new just yet. After months of chiselling stone, braving temporal storms, and trying not to die to wolves, I plan to take a couple of weeks to breathe and ponder what adventure comes next.

In the meantime, the server will stay up (I’ve already paid for the month, after all—no sense letting it go to waste!). But what form should that take?

• Should we keep it as-is, available on Saturdays only?
• Switch to 24/7 access so folks can hop in anytime?
• Or perhaps something in-between—like full weekend access, or select days during the week?

Let me know what you think by voting in the poll below (once I post it XD)!

Whatever happens next, thank you all for making this server such a joy to be part of. Whether you built a mighty fortress, wandered the wilds, or just vibed with bees—you helped shape something special.

[vocal holly]

I'm good regardless there's not much left to finish on my one build 😂 its been a fun game, as a group regardless.

[lunar lion]

Other than the expeditions, i was slightly getting burnt-out of the game, as I felt like I experienced most of what it has to offer in more than a few ways.

Honestly that was very fun. Looking forward to what we do next 😄

[austere furnace]

Full weekends rather than just Saturdays would give those of us that missed end plenty of time to explore without the areas built up on the server exploding in between sessions for those who can't play midweek.

[graceful onyx]

I would like to add that it doesn't necessarily need to be the full weekend sun up to sun down, but effectively having it start/end whenever is most convenient for Aavak, with a bit of warning for those who may want to try and finish things up when it is being shut down for the week. Potentially even into Monday morning to allow for a more flexible time frame for those who may have free time later into the evenings/very early morning.
The more important note is to be more in tune with whenever would be most convenient for Aavak to take a peek at the server, let peeps know its shutting down soon, but not need to be too focused on an exact time when the countdown would initiate to hopefully alleviate the need to monitor it as heavily.

[austere furnace]

Yeah, I'm in Australia so it's not going to be my exact weekend anyway. But 48 hours would be good, loosely on the weekend imo.

[graceful onyx]

This is mostly just an idea to put out there, I really don't have too strong of opinion if we do something completely different, just felt like pitching an idea

[fringe atlas]

I feel like opening it up on a Friday night and then maybe shutting it down on Sunday after the Wholesomeverse collab might be nice. For me that means If I do decide I want to play I can pop in for a bit, then go away and do work etc rather than the full on, have to play all day stuff.

[mellow gull]

If we're extending it to one more day, I'm partial to Friday as well

[lethal canopy]

I'd like something in between. Having the server up for a couple of days, but not full time. I don't really have a preference on what days of the week it'll be since I can play basically whenever.

[tropic yacht]

Anything works for me I am able to play whenever ....reasons. I will say that it was nice meeting everyone and I appreciate the help given to get to the story areas. It was an experience to remember and I now know what future games in this game will look like for me.

[steel crater]

I'm for opening it 24/7 so everyone can put the finishing touches on their builds, but also I'm for setting a date 3 or 4 weeks from now for Aavak to do a final send-off stream with a server tour.

I still have that magical mountain adventure I want Aavak to run through; it'd be a shame if the only ones to see it were the four volunteer beta testers (whom I of course appreciate)

[wispy swift]

I don't mind whichever way the server time is set up for, and I'd also like to second a final send off tour for the server.

[graceful onyx]

one other thing I should also maybe mention, if we do extend the time it is running, we should probably consider changing the amount of days per month and spoilage time if possible, this should help prevent crop problems and rotting food for those who may not be able to check in on the days the server is open. It will make winters longer and more difficult to prepare for, but should be fine with farms existing at Lab Mountain

[mellow gull]

I just wanna bring people's attention to the fact that this hoard of stuff exists on the upper floor of Lab Mt communal storage. Feel free to pick stuff up if you need some decorations

[fringe atlas]

@here Just to let you know the server is up with the password w33k3nd for those of you that check on here rather than Harbinger Hall

[vocal holly]

😂

[inner badger]

lol

[stark bison]

is that a mai sho board?

[mellow gull]

Sorry, @errant surge , but it appears your tannery has burned down. I did what I could to save it, but it was already on fire when I logged on. I left the stuff I saved in a chest outside.

[lunar lion]

Aavak LITERALLY just said 'don't break anything' !

[mellow gull]

I blame Thor!

[errant surge]

or an arsonist, I had an lightning rod up

[mellow gull]

It might've started in the surrounding trees. Hard to tell as half the area was on fire when I arrived

[wicked locust]

I HAVE FOUND THE VOID

WHAT IS GOING ON?

[wispy swift]

I saw a few of those void spots when I was out getting my elk earlier. Got spooked by a drifter spawning just on the edge of the screen.

[low hill]

I'm working on an agriculture sight at ~1300, ~7000 called "Point Rendezvous", it is equidistant from all three towns so should hopefully be a good resting spot.
I want it to be focused on farming berries and grains and potentially storage if it becomes a popular in-between spot for travellers

[wicked locust]

finnaly home

[steel crater]

berry pies for all!

[wispy swift]

@steel crater I tried my hand at a park bench. Does this work, or did you have something else in mind?

[steel crater]

oh well hot damn... that's good!

[steel crater]

I was honestly only thinking we would go as far as something like this:

but I'm not going to turn down good art!

Sblibbo here is competing to be the best chiseler on the server

[wispy swift]

I've admittedly had the thought to try this style of bench for a while now, so I'll go ahead and make up a few more. They aren't going to match the area as nicely though since the area is centered on an odd number. I probably could try making them three wide though if that would be preferred.

[steel crater]

they can be centered if they are mirrored around the middle

[steel crater]

The grand Oak Tree is complete!

Hoping to play tonight. Is it bad im kind of disappointed i missed the fire? I havent seen what theyre like in game yet. 😅

[inner badger]

It is terrifying stuff XD

but yea come in its still open <3

[nocturne magnet]

Off. I just made my room a bit fancyer, Still need the support beams for decor around parts, but happy so far, even whit loosing all the seeds in a cavein, as the storage vessel bugged out from it, (got some new seeds from area).

I left your request and a little care package for you in the smithy, Mokkun.

YAY!

[inner badger]

I am actually curious. As a poll. When the community Vintage story server shuts down. I am willing to see about hosting a modded community one (to be open Thursday night to monday night EST ish)

It would have mods basing around a theme and QoL. So far I've seen themes of more immersed Medieval and Tolkein esque fantasy, but suggest away!

And geared more towards semi-Roleplay sort, with classes that in addition to the base classes, woudl be more specialized (Lumberjacks, Smiths, Healers, Cooks, Farmers, etc) I've got a few mods that are nicely balanced for this.

But how many would be interested if I did the hosting?

and forgive if this isn't the right sort of place for it, I figured this was a good spot

[wispy swift]

I'm apparently procrastinating working on the interior of the post office, so the park around the Great Oak is shaping up nicely with the addition of a lamp post. 😆

[ashen musk]

You can discuss this in #chit_chat or in #1172245739674538185 but imo it would be best to start a new post in the #1167011056414109746 about a modded Vintage Story server, preferably with Modded in the title somewhere. Hope this helps!

[tropic yacht]

looks wonderful, I'll keep it in mind "similar to that when I go to make my own world 🙂 though I might expand on it, "ala" minecraft ones I've done in past

[steel crater]

Day 150 of my time in Vintage Story: I ate a mushroom without checking its name and poison content first. It killed me instantly. It tasted like humble pie.

[inner badger]

ahh thanks Mai!

[wispy swift]

@steel crater If clay shingles are what's decided on for the Inn roof, I did get some blue clay shingles made up. Not fired yet as I wasn't sure if you had a specific colour in mind. They're by the fireclay bricks just outside of storage and I can see about working on a beehive kiln next time I'm on if we need it fora specific colour.

[steel crater]

my only preference about clay shingle color is NOT brown, orange, tan, or cream.

[wispy swift]

Sorry Hoshi, I missed your question, probably while was cooking up some quicklime. There are two pieces of leather at Oak Town, and a huge hide that was already started and just needs to soak in the strong tanin.

[blissful cipher]

Making a server backup now that it's gone down. Hope you all enjoyed and got plenty done over the weekend :)

[lethal canopy]

I had a great time. Got some chiselling work done and, since we got a fair bit of flax, I've made up a few gambeson armours for people (they're in the tailor shop in OC)

[wispy swift]

It was overall, a nice relaxing time for me on the server this weekend. Got some chiseling done around Oak Town and the post office (went through more than a full steel chisel!), got the roofs on the inn and storage buildings, did a little bit of exploring/mining/quarrying done, etc. I think I'll be in a decent spot to finish what I'd like to at Oak Town next weekend and be able to head back to OC and Lab to start the postal service up again and finish things off there.

[austere furnace]

I chopped a lot of wood. >_>

[inner badger]

hehe always helpful dunkurtin

[mellow gull]

And I am all set up to start the cheese making this weekend, now that the wine cellar is done.

[wicked locust]

I heard you came back with some marble. Could we get some of that for the castle or church?

[inner badger]

Yea beleive i dropped it off but when servers up ill peek if its still on me

The Hammers and Chisels, They whisper sweet nothings into my ears...

[blissful cipher]

Hokey @everyone, after some trials and tribulations, the VS server is up!

The new password is: h4mm3r&chi53l
And in case you can't find the server via the server browser, the IP & port are: 149.102.134.180:28200

[nocturne magnet]

huh? even copying the password, I get wrong password

UPS, there was a different IP, so thats wy

[blissful cipher]

Yeah, that was the issue I was having; took a while to realise the IP was different, after checking a host of other things--true "I should have tried turning it off and on again" moment lol

[wicked locust]

will not be playing this weekend as i work 1/4 weekends

[blissful cipher]

Doh :(

[tropic yacht]

shadow and I are attempting to go back for our elk anyone want to wish us luck, we're going to walk careful and leave at dark

[vocal holly]

good luck and happy travails!

[wicked locust]

If you do still have some could you give a few to @sly jay for the statue

Tell them its what its for when you hand it off

[low hill]

farm progress :)
each square is 25 berry bushes for roughly 450 berry bushes in total
also got a bunch of grain and veggie set up around the pounds

[inner badger]

should still be in oc

[low hill]

in the future I will probably make 3 separate fields for each nutrient to make rotation easier and probably separate each berry type into it's own field as well

[wicked locust]

On my way home will be on in a bit. @lethal canopy

[lethal canopy]

Umm, I think I've changed my mind about exploring this cave...

(There's about 8 creatures down there...)

[mellow gull]

Frens!

[lethal canopy]

they didn't sound like friends,.. :(

[mellow gull]

Don't be so mean. I'm sure they're perfectly nice

[lethal canopy]

Hmm, you're right. Maybe I should go back and introduce myself

[lethal canopy]

[mellow gull]

Cheesy goodness

[mellow gull]

There's mail for one Alice Tepes in the OC post office

[wicked locust]

Ooh will check after work

@tough thunder hey you how do you feel about doing a pile of chisle work?

[tough thunder]

I'm only just on the way back to town from the village. So probably won't be able to till next week.

[wicked locust]

You see i need some pews for the church and if i can get that marble tables for the great hall.

Anyways I go work now.

Later

[wispy swift]

Thanks for hosting the server this weekend Aavak! I'm happy with what I was able to finish up in Oak Town until I visit again, and was able to make the trip back to Origin safely and quickly. Next project will be working on finishing the Lab post office.

[sly jay]

And half of my house, too! Madge

[stark bison]

didn't know vintage story was advanced enough to have the study and containment of black holes on the surface

[steady arrow]

that level of tech doesn't exactly sound like it's "vintage"

[stark bison]

depends on the timeline, if the tech is good enough to harvest a neutron star and warp around the universe, black hole containment might be called "vintage" XD

though vintage story isn't quite at that level

[nocturne magnet]

I am hoping next week to travel to the tower thingie, I soo want to get one of those teleporters, it would feel like a fine finishing item for hte Inn..

hope I can swipe one of those top o the tower tings whit out a Non Aavak dragon swooping in..

[wicked locust]

Its eldritch

[lethal canopy]

Will the server go up this weekend?

[blissful cipher]

Oof, yeah, got completely bamboozled by the house inspection today, everything out of order lol. I'll turn it on now :)

[vocal holly]

who said there was a charcoal shortage 😂 we should have enough till the end of days now

[mellow gull]

I suspect agra is the reason you don't have a shortage

[lethal canopy]

we've both been working on filling it :)

id say agra put a good chunk of the fire wood in, but is has be a group project to do both building and filling it 🙂

[steel crater]

PSA: Don't fight in a temporal storm if your elk is standing nearby. They'll get hit by a stray rock from a drifter or an arrow from a bowtorn and then start fighting back, then they'll draw aggro and get attacked by the rift.

[steel crater]

I would've been fine if the elk had just run away, which is did, but then it fell into a pit because of course it did

and the pit was a real nasty vertical drop, about 40 blocks, which hurt it enough to go prone and start the death cycle

I would've been fine if I got down there to heal it, but the topside of the pit was a vertical column of collapsable dirt on all sides because of course it was

as I tried to get down there, some falling dirt hit my elk. I saw it flash red from the hit with my own two eyes. The damage finished it off and by the time I actually got down there it was dead.

Only after some consideration did I realize I could've avoided the falling dirt entirely, so here's another PSA for everyone:

If your elk falls down a pit like this, it's a deathtrap. Any of the dirt on the side falling down can kill the elk, so you can't just take the direct route

this is how you can descend into the pit without touched the dirt sides. Even without rope ladders, you can extend a regular ladder downward by aiming at it's lower half and adding more ladders

A prone elk will still be healable for a whole in-game day if nothing else touches it, so take your time and save it carefully

[tropic yacht]

rope ladder as well maybe? if you don't have a wood one?

sorry for the loss of your elkfriend

[wispy swift]

Rope works as well Dark. Hoshi addressed that, and specifically used the wooden ladders as an example because it is not as well known that they can extend downwards. You just have to be specific on where your cursor is aimed, whereas rope ladders automatically extend downwards.

[tropic yacht]

Sorry I may have missed that in the reading....I go mostly by the pictures

I didn't know that wood ladders could do the same thing thanks

[wispy swift]

No worries! It's one of those little things in the game that's easy to miss.

[tropic yacht]

I don't see print too well either LOL, so I miss a lot in discord writing, really need a pair of new glasses 🙂

[wispy swift]

Well that was fantastic. I figured I could probably continue riding along the road during the storm with no issue with enemies catching up, and that was working fine up until a landslide apparently wanted to bury the road as it went into a mountain. 😅

Storm is over!

[nocturne magnet]

Just curious, have anyone else made a rickety teleporter? my is coke making and melting the cupernickle away (then making a fancy platform to place on) from being done

I do hope there is another, would be nice to see if they connect, an I can only make one..

[tropic yacht]

we have the schematic but not the materials yet

wanted to see if there was one somewhere before making a commitment

[wicked locust]

not sure if this is true or not but i heard one is going up outside of origin and at olk

[wispy swift]

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case, just not sure who would be doing so or where at the moment.

I didn't have much time this weekend with some family visiting, but I got the bulk of the Lab post office finished up, so it still felt like I made some good progress on finishing things up regardless.

[blissful cipher]

Server's down and backup saved :)

[dawn moss]

1.21 just dropped

[wicked locust]

Ah

[nocturne magnet]

Should we update, or will the server be on previous version?

[vocal holly]

nah i dont think the server has much time left tbh (atlest for me)

[tropic yacht]

has the server been brought up or will that be later this evening? figured I'd ask 🙂

[vocal holly]

would need to remind aavak to bring it up

[tropic yacht]

🙂

[vocal holly]

he forgot last week as well.

[tropic yacht]

it's all good, hopefully it will be soon

[dawn moss]

im of the opinion if we do go to 1.21 we should do modded

cause 1.21 doesnt really revolutionize the game in any way, just adds neat stuff

[nocturne magnet]

it was for me more should i update or not as is having same version client and server rather important?

[inner badger]

I'm still working on the modded one myself

I'm waiting for mods to update to 1.21 so stay tuned!

[mellow gull]

Idk, this being the weekend the 1.20 sever dies feels kinda approriate

[blissful cipher]

Sorry everyone, we had to take Tilly into the vet suddenly and it turned into an all day thing so didn't have time to really think about the server.

Just checked, everything's running okay (server updated to 1.21 so had to update client) here's the password: w33k3nd

[mellow gull]

Hug Tilly from us!

[mellow gull]

Alright, I'm getting a lot of these

Yup, evey oil lamp in the game is a ? now

Or some other kind of weird block

[long comet]

this is how blocks appear when there's some problem with the model of the block

[mellow gull]

Yeah, every clay item is gone. Including storage vessels and stuff

Yeah, this kinda kills it for me. Think I'm off for good

See y'all next server

[blissful cipher]

Wow, I logged on after bringing the server up and ran around Nadya to check things looked okay and everything seemed fine.

Sorry Demi. I can look into reverting the update (it had automatically updated when I booted it up) if there's interest, but if folks are more or less done with this server, we can call it there.

Just let me know :)

[mellow gull]

Don't worry about it on my behalf. I was gonna sunset my time on the server today anyways

[nocturne magnet]

off, I cant axess the storage in clay uars, got the ? on all clay jars, think trhere is a command you may need to run, but have forgotten it, im just quickly on before a family thing, wil be on later today

[mellow gull]

I think it might be because the default clay stuff don't exist anymore in game, since it now have 8 (?) different colors

[vocal holly]

I think, I'm done with the server with this update as it is not playing well on linux sadly, not sure if its the game or the newer dotnet framework regardless, enjoy the rest server everyone i will see you for the next community game.

[blissful cipher]

By the sounds that's it for the server really. I'll look into packaging the map data from the last backup (at the end of last week, prior to the 1.21 update) in case anyone wants it to run a server or single player game on an earlier version.

I'll leave the server live for the rest of the day though, just in case, but we'll call it there.

[spring cradle]

On an exercise, but I’d be interested in the data, however huge it ended up getting.

[inner badger]

<3

[steel crater]

I logged on to return to origin to check out the storage vessel situation, and I got killed by a brown bear on the way at about x 3000 -_-

... I respawned in Oak Town.

So at least I can check the vessel situation there

So yeah, this is apparantly what happens when a block type doesn't exist in the game anymore because of a version update. The tooltips for these blocks are 'storagevessel-burned'

There's no simple storage vessel anymore; every one of them is associated with a color.

anything that was already colored clay is still around, like the black ceramic roof of the tavern

The oil lamps, too, are all colored, so all the oil lamps are now question mark blocks

And surprisingly, there' no default wood path anymore so the garden under the mighty oak tree now looks a bit funky

the question blocks, even those that used to be simple oil lamps, have full collision and can block bowtorn bolts!

[sly jay]

try out "oak path" or "birch path"

[steel crater]

ah! there they are! good call, makena

[sly jay]

🙂

[steel crater]

It's not technically impossible to come back from this, it just means doing a LOT of clayforming and restocking the food that was lost.

But with my elk dead and my gear 22,000 blocks away, I think I'll hang up my hat on this server as well. GG everyone, it was lots of fun.

For the record, I got 20,500 blocks bushwacked, bridged, and occasionally tunneled to connect Oak Town and Origin with an elk route through the wilderness.

[sly jay]

I wouldn't think it's impossible for some mod creator to come up with something that restores the old clay items, but I'm not sure if the contents of for example the storage vessles are salvageble or not. I had a similar situation with my private heavily modded save where I forgot to enable my mods (Vanilla Variants to name one) and all my storage was empty after save&exit and reloading with the mods.

maybe with the save file of last week, but any changes, that folks do this week would be gone

so no point for me to continue on my chisle home project 🙁

[spring cradle]

I think Lost Lake granary uses a bunch of merchant purchased storage vessels, so the larder there might be safe.

[wispy swift]

As per usual for the last few weekends, stuff has come up that I won't be able to be on very much today. I hadn't updated from 1.20.11 yet and as expected, it's incompatible with 1.21 so I wouldn't be able to get around the storage vessel thing that way. I had a bit of chiseling left as my main task outside of starting to help with the church, so I can finish up my time on the server today as well.

[steel crater]

The custom-painted storage vessels are all still in the game, so they should be safe

[grave hawk]

I'm new to the server~ is there a server for it?

[wispy swift]

It depends a little on what you're looking for I guess. The official community server is winding up, while there is another one called Lost Lake going, but has also quieted down a bit. There is currently some discussion on starting up a new server with mods as the two I've mentioned are vanilla, but that has not begun yet.

[inner badger]

yea I've gotta wait for a bit however while mods update to 1.21

[grave hawk]

I'd be looking for a new start, gives me a chance to settle in early and meet everyone

[vocal holly]

winding down no?

[wispy swift]

Huh, that's one of those phrases that works both ways and means the same thing then. At least in how I'm used to using it.

Either that, or the meaning has shifted in recent years.

[vocal holly]

winding up, would suggest its getting ready to start or that how i have used it for the last 20+ years could just be a local thing though. 😂

[nocturne magnet]

Got the teleporter up, and a nice building for it, if a next time, im making the bulding bigger, also, it wont teleport me anywhere, it do the shaking then more shaking.

[wicked locust]

No other side up?

[blissful cipher]

I get what you mean, though I've only heard the saying 'spooling up' rather than 'winding up', winding up I've always taken to mean the same as wrapping up lol. Words are weird.

[wispy swift]

So on top of certain blocks turning into the question mark cubes, they switched for some reason to this at some point when I was on earlier.😆 Also, less of an issue than all the clay items was, but still would have been an issue, with the adition of reed vs. papyrus skeps, all of the apiaries ended up out of commission as well.

[wispy swift]

And with one last delivery to Mokkun (your stuff from Oak Town has been delivered to your Inn), I will finish my time being the Postmaster. Thank you all for a lovely time, and a great introduction to Vintage Story! It was a pleasure to play with you all and I'll look forward to the next time Vintage Story is the community stream game.

[vocal holly]

Yeah, language does odd stuff, and the context can add extra layers of complexity, one day, I might just understand a decent chunk of the nuance of the language.

[mellow gull]

Thank you for your services, postmaster!

[tropic yacht]

Shadow Eiliminti and I would like to say thanks for allowing us to try the game and learn it and know what we like and don't like to adopt our own game to suit our enjoyment. We got to finish the story without the game going weird on us and now if we choose to not bother with the story we won't lose anything because we've already done it. There have been a lot of moments on game that have been special to us but the most special were getting to know new people. I hope to see you if another game comes up, modded or not I'd love to come and play.

[inner badger]

was fun playin with yall <3

[nocturne magnet]

Thanks for playing everyone, bit sad we wont get a after final day video of Aavak traveling and seeing hte sights and buildings.

[wicked locust]

Guys dont mine up

[mellow gull]

It's fine

[wispy swift]

Was going through my screenshots folder today, and realized I don't think I actually sent these after the server shutdown. Here be some shots of the post offices, starting with Origin Cave.

Labrador Mountain post office and something of a start with parchment production.

And the Oak Town post office with the most chiseling I did on server I think.

[mellow gull]

Aw, those are some lovely pictures! T'was a great server
