Vintage Story

[ebon plover]

Trees

[sterile inlet]

This game is immensely cool

[left silo]

nature

bear is nature

also, just updated to latest VS version, and by update I mean I have to reinstall it

shame that expanded food mod isn't updated to v19 yet, but if i were to restart my game, I doubt I could make full uses of the mod anyway

[sterile inlet]

I have hunted my first rabbit

Poor guy :(

[sterile inlet]

What happens in this game when you die?

[left silo]

depending on the setting

[hazy pier]

items drop except worn items lose nututrion and you spawn at half hunger

[sterile inlet]

I'm on standard

And is the respawn point my bed?

[hazy pier]

so basicly everything but clothes and armor drop

no

you havew to find a temporla gear to set your spawn

[sterile inlet]

Gotcha

Thanks :>

[hazy pier]

heres a tip mark any surface ores you find

[sterile inlet]

Is there a way to put pins in the map

[hazy pier]

also this one i didnt find out until recently hoed fields that dont have seeds planted

can grow horsetail randomy

yeah you can pin ton of stuff on the map

[sterile inlet]

I encountered my first rift

That was spooky

[hazy pier]

i found chalk

and its not far

[dense saddle]

yo are we fine with me inviting a friend from off-server? She's a little shy to join the discord but was interested in trying out vintage story

[hazy pier]

i don't have a problem with it but its creator-unreals server

they are online so you could ask them

[dense saddle]

will hop on shortly

[hazy pier]

by online i mena creator is ondiscord not in game

[dense saddle]

@past obsidian sorry to @ you, but are you okay with this?

(oh they're currently occupied)

[past obsidian]

I have no issues with this as long as everyone is ok with it

[dense saddle]

all I can say is I can vouch for her being extremely nice

[sterile inlet]

:((

A rift spawned directly in my house

What the hell

[dense saddle]

would that be the one that was vomiting them out on us

[sterile inlet]

I'm not in the same game as you, I actually can't play multiplayer games

Sat internet

[dense saddle]

oh...

[sterile inlet]

Found out you can get Rifts to despawn by just running away until the chunk unloads

[hazy pier]

@dense saddle

the nothern areas where the teleporter and spawn is

south where we are

[left silo]

so, tested out the river mod, you gotta remember to set your world to have lots of water surface for river to be generated (actual number on the mod page)

there's waterwheel in the mod that can be powered by the river, they work as a constant consistent power compared to windmill

however, you need iron to make them, 4 iron plates for a single waterwheel in fact

8 for the bigger one

which means it's gonna take a while for you to make it, while you can set up windmill almost from the get go with enough flax

but on the other hand, it is a consistent power source that will work forever until some guy invented global warming

the mod also add moss, but it doesn't seems like you can do anything with it yet

but also it's moss, so I guess you can't really do things with it

[hazy pier]

that seems worth it

also i in a single storm got 3 temp gears

[left silo]

Also, the waterwheel at its fastest won't be as fast as the windmill, though I guess if you are investing that much into power, using big gear to exchange torque for apin rate works

You can always stack a whole bunch of waterwheels together

If you aren't planning to use that portion of the river for sailing

[sterile inlet]

My two day trek into the wilderness to find copper was a failure

Guess I'm panning for 40 minutes

I did find a trader in a cart though :0

[ebon plover]

im surprised youre not finding much surface copper

its usually common

[sterile inlet]

Yeah I dunno!

I'm looking for orangish-blue rocks right?

[ebon plover]

yeah they'll be mixed in to regular stone

[sterile inlet]

Can I melt down copper arrowheads?

[ebon plover]

fooddd

[sterile inlet]

Yo

That's such a good QoL bit

It replaces your current shovel with another from your inventory if the one you're using breaks

[hazy pier]

does that wit hspear throws too

[sterile inlet]

My pottery hut :>

[dense saddle]

:>

[hazy pier]

we now have a good locations for shale and granite and i found a decent sized ruin too

alos pumpkin seeds

[sterile inlet]

I have entered the copper age

[sterile inlet]

I killed a drifter for the first time >:)

[sterile inlet]

Oh this game has biblically accurate moose

[sterile inlet]

How much copper goes into an ingot?

[hazy pier]

100 units per bar

https://art.twgserver.ru/vsalloys/

use this if yo uwant

[sterile inlet]

I appreciate it :>

Weathered the first temporal storm and I'm about to establish my permanent homestead

[left silo]

okay, I was thinking of playing my modded VS a bit, but erm, I think I'm stuck in

I got a mod called underground mine, and it's basically a mod that generate mine shaft once used by people

I just started a run and went down the cave and I just love the feeling walking down these empty hallway

also, easy access to mine, food (mushroom, all the mushroom), and underground ruins

[left silo]

hmm okay, all these high cliff face around the river is giving me an idea

usually, I would just build my farm on water surface for all the moisure

but I'm not sure how that would affect the speed of the river because I'm looking forward to hydropower

but because vintage story still has part of the minecraft physic... nobody say I can't build a bridge and a farm at the same time with water block just being up there out of nothing!

I'm also probably gonna need a lot of bridges for even the starting area I'm in

the river mod is really a river mod

[left silo]

okay, got a cobble stone house down on a riverfront zone

next step would be to make a proper smithing area as well as pit kiln area, then I guess I will just make a big stockpile of tin bronze (because for some reasons I found a ridiculous amount of tin in this playthrough right at the start), more hand free farm

then start working on iron production for hydropower and/or bee keeping mostly for beewax

then I guess I'm good to go for year 1

oh right, can't forget a good underground food storage too

though I might need to be aware of the river because they can be quite deep and accidentally digging into them is...bad news

[ebon plover]

dwarf fortress aquifer

[left silo]

also, it would be nice if I can find more traders, but it seems like using the river mod to create river is preventing most of them from spawning

I only found one guy so far and unfortunately he is a treasure hunter, everything he sells is useless to me

at least at this stage of the game

[left silo]

I really should build a raft or something to test out how fast I can be on river, it might even takes me somewhere fun quickly

it was so strong that I could barely get to the bottom of the river, and even then I will quickly be blown away from trying to swim the rapid

[ebon plover]

we may have to do some logging

running low on wood for the first time in a while

and im planning to ramp up construction

[dense saddle]

There is a redwood forest I stumbled on which could be a good source, at least for fox

I'm planning to build a new smithy, possibly up on the hills to the west, so that it's easier to get high power from the windmills

[ebon plover]

moving the smithy is usually a bad idea

[dense saddle]

Not moving the current one

[ebon plover]

cause then you have to go far away to metal work

we should probably rebuild the current smithy to not look so bad though

the main wood problem isnt a lack of firewood,its a lack of variety

were basically out of maple, ebony, and walnut

and have little pine

so mixing in colours to builds is hard

ill collect woods for those later

also
underground complex? i find it quite simple

[hazy pier]

Toby i made 16 recevr bow stems next time your on i can help you get stuff to make them if yo usee this

oh yeah i forgot to mention yesterdya we got a teleporter running

[civic fjord]

I'm still using my recurve bow, so I'm good there

[hazy pier]

oh i meant as in make some for others

staffen and I tried to clear a cave

it was bad

[dense saddle]

Oh yeah I found a large source of lignite last night

[hazy pier]

i know at least 1-2 spots in the desert

[dense saddle]

Rin and I were scouting for building spots and I located a huge concentration in a chalk cave

It's a little southwest of the village

[hazy pier]

I know you havent seen it

but on the way to where we are now we passed by a redwood forrest that surrends a plateu

[dense saddle]

Sounds delightful

[hazy pier]

its a very high plateu

[dense saddle]

If I could only build a teleporter between that and the village...

[ebon plover]

You could ask creator to do that

[dense saddle]

Actually are tp's like the one at spawn admin-only or are they buildable

[ebon plover]

admin built them

[dense saddle]

Damn

[ebon plover]

We made the journey to our current location legit

[hazy pier]

that teleported place we found staffen has shale,clay,lime, and granite stone i found

[dense saddle]

We can worry about it later

[ebon plover]

and then creator built the tp

[dense saddle]

Still no sources of basalt

I will have to start arbitrarily digging down in hopes of finding a basalt layer

[hazy pier]

I do actully know where one is

but like i said it is deep

[ebon plover]

I repaved the streets btw

[hazy pier]

there are nightmare drifters at that level

[dense saddle]

Delightful! I'll begin mining as soon as I'm done cooking breakfast.

[ebon plover]

do you all think I should build more stuff on the surface or in the underground complex

[hazy pier]

there is an idea that might work

[ebon plover]

Like workshop spaces

[hazy pier]

maybe just maybe its possible to just directly dig a hole cause they cant spawn on ladders

[dense saddle]

I wanted to finish that little spot behind the bunks into a comfy little space

But I didn't know if you had plans

[hazy pier]

if we had more permant lights we could probally re take the iron mine section

[dense saddle]

From what I saw we may as well just re-dig because it looked like that section was depleted

Yet prospecting suggested there was still stuff down there

[hazy pier]

it might be wort just randomyl digging in spos

[dense saddle]

So it is probably above or below

Yeah

[ebon plover]

that's a stairwell to the surface lol

designed to have 3 more exits

So the space can branch out

[hazy pier]

honestly i kinda want more of other kinds of metal then iron

bronze has the best spear you can make

brass torcholders look nice

also we hvae about 20 candles

ive heavily prospected the southwest but not other directions, the north, or the area at the telporter that takes you east

[dense saddle]

I briefly prospected there

At the exit from the teleporter

There is a zinc source in that zone so we can get your brass

[hazy pier]

we have a good amount of zinc for now

but its goo to know later

[dense saddle]

The copper there too of course

I wish I had found materials that close together in my solo world

[hazy pier]

what was the percent?

[dense saddle]

I remember the copper was very highly concentrated

Oh,

[hazy pier]

i found a 24 and a 26% somehwere

[dense saddle]

For alloy?

[hazy pier]

for the copper

[dense saddle]

I cannot remember

I will check when I am back in but we were right on top of it there at the teleporter exit

[sterile inlet]

Making quicklime is the absolute worst

[ebon plover]

We need more rare minerals

cinnabar/alum

[dense saddle]

I need it to be appreciated that I spent the better part of a week looking for materials to make bronze, found nothing but iron that I couldn't acquire, and then once I found a scrape of material for bronze I immediately transitioned to iron. I searched another week for borax for steel, during which time I found everything else but that

The game's material distribution is quirky

[ebon plover]

yeah that happens often

we got lucky and dodged all the bottlenecks on the server

[dense saddle]

borax... borax!

I curse thee!

[ebon plover]

also once the stairwell is finished to the surface im thinking that something cool could be building the underground complex to have surface parts like towers

underground city that occasionally pierces the surface

[past obsidian]

Worth noting, I built the TP AFTER the journey was made.

[ebon plover]

yeah that's what im saying

[past obsidian]

I mostly didn't want a repeat of last server where new players had no idea where to go.

[hazy pier]

coudl we get this added?
https://mods.vintagestory.at/dropvinesanyway

[hazy pier]

@dense saddle

oops

coirrcet one

[dense saddle]

damn

[hazy pier]

thats just strange

[sterile inlet]

Moving all my bullshit

Not even half done

[hazy pier]

i recomend the carryon mod

[sterile inlet]

Nah I found an exploit

I just stored everything in my crafting inventory and ran with it open

[dense saddle]

the trader @ 619,119,3768

[ebon plover]

we can scam him

[hazy pier]

ive been selling gems to the art merchant

[sterile inlet]

I love being able to lean tools up against walls

A rift opens up in my front yard

https://tenor.com/view/courage-the-cowardly-dog-eustace-mallet-angry-its-go-time-gif-4845999

[left silo]

always hate it when a rift opened up on my lawn

or backyard

or anywhere near my house

[left silo]

tried a bunch of new mods to see if they work on v 19.3 before leaving for a trip

alchemy mod works and looks like a fun option, always want to mix up deathly mushroom and make potion out of them

CAN Jewel is a mod where you can encrust jewelry into your tools or weapons to enhance them but.... the mod don't work?

the jewel grinder specifically, it just doesn't work

golden comb still works on 19.3, but the ceramic pot might be invisible when you first create and place them down for some reasons

[sterile inlet]

How do you let animals out of the reed trap

I figured it out

[sterile inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/kirameita-kiryu-yakuza0-gif-18647980

I'm stealing that for my windmill

[left silo]

So I just found out that my starting zone is so infertile that even finding medium quality soil is a hard find

Well, I like the place, so I'm just gonna cheat a bit

In fact, I actually managed to find more high quality soil than medium quality soil here, it is that barren

[sterile inlet]

First harvest of the new homestead

Drowning in turnips

Haven't managed to find salt yet but when I do I'll make so many pickles

[hazy pier]

yeah flax oil is a good way to make these in mass

this was about 10 liters

[sterile inlet]

Okay I've hit my first real gripe with this game

Why is going into a cave instant d-day

[hazy pier]

oh yeah there can be a decent ammoutn of drifters

lighting up caves does help prevent spawns

and sealing off areas

for example in the server our iron source half of it is filled with aweful things but the half of the cave that has the iron to mine has lights

[sterile inlet]

See I did light up the cave

But then a glut of like 5 or 6 drifters came from where I had descended

Whatever they have the spawn rate set to it's too much

Yeah okay I went into creative mode and surveyed the cave

There's about 19 live drifters in this cave on top of the 10 drifters I just killed

I don't get that many drifters in a storm

[hazy pier]

yeah generally when your trying to get something you prospected i recomend ladders instead

ropeladdesr can actully be picked by up from the top by holding rightclick

so you can go deep then then that shaft is done go to the top and grab all the ladders back

[sterile inlet]

Alright I went into the .JSON and edited the spawn rate for drifters

I'll see how this works out

[hazy pier]

also a good note is try to advoid melee combat with drifters above your armor tier

1 or 2 teirs above can be fine

but never even engage in melee combati with a nightmare drifter

the only thing that can handle it is steel armor

[sterile inlet]

I kinda want to set it to 10x and see what happens

[sterile inlet]

Yeah I think the spawn rate would be super manageable if I were playing multiplayer

And I'm sure that's what this game is moreso made for

It's just a little depressing

[left silo]

Does expanded food mod work on v19.3? Feel like reinstalling it just for some esrly game utility stuff

[ebon plover]

it kinda works

Cauldrons don't really work

But everything else does

[hazy pier]

i does help making oil lamps a lot easier

[ebon plover]

Yeah all the oil and tree tapping is really useful

[civic fjord]

From what it seems it works on 1.19.3 except for things that require Expanded Foods specific items

Like the pan

[ebon plover]

the pan works

just not cauldrons

[civic fjord]

It wouldn't let me make lard

[ebon plover]

interesting

I've had no issues with making any expanded foods specific stuff

[civic fjord]

Also I think I've figured out how the Aged meat works, which is that once it ages, it entirely ceases to rot while it is on the hook

I'll have to test some more though

[hazy pier]

also we have an entire crate of peat now

[ebon plover]

It doesn't

it still rots on hooks

it just takes longer

[hazy pier]

also i found out that hyenas are a great source of hide and fat

more common then wolves, also weaker in general less damage and they run from less hits

[inner hornet]

They also don't aggro from as far away

wolves are suppose to have a 20 block aggro radius and hyenas only 10

supposedly

[hazy pier]

@dense saddle

[dense saddle]

?!

I thought it was winter

thank you for spotting that

[hazy pier]

should we create a resin farm in the town?

[ebon plover]

yes

and yeah trees have different tapping seasons

its winter when they form sap, not when they are able to be tapped

[hazy pier]

should we make a sap farm somewhere?

get some pinesaplings and just grow them near town

i guess we could also put a much of taps in the pine forrest

[ebon plover]

a tree farm would be better

for density and management

[inner hornet]

Always good to have a tree farm

You should probably set up a seperate section for tapped trees though

[ebon plover]

i just care about a tree farm for tapped trees

if i wanted trees for logs i would just cut down old growth forests

[hazy pier]

how many seeds should i get?

[ebon plover]

idk

it taps 0.1L a day

thinking about it that means

if we want 1L a day

then 10 pine, 10 acacia

[hazy pier]

ive got over a stack of pine seeds

[ebon plover]

then space then out and plant them ig

space out so its like 2 blocks between seeds

we'll trim leaves

the only issue might be finding space for it

and then thats gonna be

[hazy pier]

could use the islnad thats between where satffen is

[ebon plover]

5 more runs of the copper spile mold

[hazy pier]

and the town

[ebon plover]

not the town

[hazy pier]

the little tree is the island im talking about

[ebon plover]

yeah that island kinda sucks as a space to use i think the northern area is better

[dense saddle]

my condolences

[ebon plover]

btw i am planning to put the nasty industrial stuff on the lake front

and then of course slap a giant gate into town in front of them

[dense saddle]

this guy buys bowls lol

[ebon plover]

the helmet is pretty good

[hazy pier]

i have a forlorn set im trying to repair it

i need more gold

you need 4 gold plates to repair it fully

5

[inner hornet]

Expanded foods is really complicated to understand. Difficult to browse through just by clicking items for their previously need ingredients.

[ebon plover]

yeah it's best to look at the thread post or the guides rather than recipes

[sterile inlet]

yea

[hazy pier]

oh that mod

[ebon plover]

what on earth

[sterile inlet]

Luckily that one was on the fringe

But like

Running into one of those in the thick part of the forest is gonna be troublesome

[left silo]

Guess I will hold back on reinstalling expanded food for now then, as much as I want to make sushi a thing again

That said, the culinary mod is updated to 19.0, and bottle is very very useful for storing stuff

[ebon plover]

i mean

the mod just works

you can make sushi

i just made sushi on the server today

[left silo]

Yeah, but I'm worried my game will just break if a future update that actually works comes in

[dense saddle]

mods have been pretty robust so far

[hazy pier]

@dense saddle blue is teleporter red is bassault

[dense saddle]

Can I borrow your iron chest

I'll be back on in like 30 minutes

[hazy pier]

dont you have one?

so we now have acess to basault,chert,sandstone, peritodite stone

[left silo]

I wish marble isn't so damn hard to find

[hazy pier]

yeah its pretty rare

i use polished chalk often

it looks marblely

[ebon plover]

I hate marble

every time I find phosphophyllite my brain breaks

[hazy pier]

im chosing between one of theese two designs

[inner hornet]

I think I like this one better. Nice contrast

[dense saddle]

dear god

feeding 4 windmills omnidirectionally into a gear really does produce more torque

[dense saddle]

oh my good god this is so stupid

this is giving me a headache lol

I'm going to have to rethink a lot about the mountain windmills' configuration

in fact, no

there's gonna need to be even more windmill towers

[hazy pier]

i think we have enough windmills

[ebon plover]

as the person that has to grow the flax . No

There is a limit to the amount of windmill power you reasonably need

all we need them for is to grind stuff or hammer stuff

[ebon plover]

rebuild is nearly done

[left silo]

I think I made a tower with like 8 windmill connected to it at once and that's enough

That said, it took ingame years of flax growing and trading to make them

[hazy pier]

panning is a wierdly good source of flax

[inner hornet]

Is it good with regular sand? I thought you only got flax from bony soil

[hazy pier]

yeah its only bony soil but ive gotten a lot of bony soil

remember to dig under runits

ruins

[hazy pier]

ignore the colour those are blueprinting blocks

im working on ideas for roots

[dense saddle]

Just got jumped by more than 30 of the funny men on the mountainside

Fox pointed out the portal activity read as "apocalyptic"

[ebon plover]

@dense saddle server crash?

[dense saddle]

nope?

you just dc'd

happens sometimes I guess

[ebon plover]

huhhh

i just got kicked randomly yeah

[ebon plover]

the industrial backyard of a rustic town

[hazy pier]

@dense saddle Inet died

[dense saddle]

ah

[hazy pier]

i still need gold

i only got 5 nuggets from that trip

[ebon plover]

pretty light harvest tbh

I think I'm gonna go on a severe logging spree to fuel the need for charcoal

[civic fjord]

Later today I'm going to work on making some tree stands for logging, just need to figure out the appropriate size

[dense saddle]

If you look on the map, northeast of my mountain site there is a structure near the lake shore, a square made of slate with a granite square in the center. That is the new charcoal pit. There is still something close to a thousand units of charcoal in there, with a lower layer of unfired wood which we haven't determined yet why it failed to burn.

But by all means, if you want, go ahead and chop some trees. Oak in particular was in weak shape

[ebon plover]

weak stuff we can get more

we also just need trees for wood anyway

and every charcoal firing depletes a tun of wood

[dense saddle]

It does

But I chopped the redwoods around the mountain for that pit

11x11x11x32

Almost 43,000 units of firewood

[ebon plover]

i want more wood

[raven flame]

Got a question: Despite seemingly meeting the specs for the "optimum setup", the game still runs poorly for me. Does anyone have/had a similar problem and know a solution?

[hazy pier]

whats your render distance set to?

[raven flame]

196

[dense saddle]

the wind just fucking died after the bloomeries finished cooking the next batch of iron lol

[raven flame]

For more info, I got the following:
Intel i5-13600k
32 GB Ram
Radeon RX 6800 XT

[hazy pier]

in what way is it running poorly

shadows is def one irecomend lowering

this is my settings

[raven flame]

Performance tanks when I am outside of my 5x5 hovel. Goes from 60 fps to 30. I've got bloom, smoothlight, FXAA, foam and shiny effect and god rays off. Shadows at low, particles low and even resolution down.

[hazy pier]

that sounds odd

are you on a laptop

[raven flame]

nope

just tried your settings, not sure if it made much of a difference

[hazy pier]

make sure its using the proper gpu

[raven flame]

How would one go about that?

[hazy pier]

on amd i have no idea

[raven flame]

I am going to figure that out then

[dense saddle]

So good news!

The helve setup at the mountains works wonders for productivity!

But now we desperately need more borax!

and one more iron anvil!

[ebon plover]

We have five powdered borax

Did you use it all?

[dense saddle]

nope

I've used two

but it is an ingredient for refractory bricks

[ebon plover]

dont you mean quartz

refractory bricks are fire clay, quartz, bauxite

[raven flame]

Managed to force it to use my amd card
but...

[hazy pier]

wait i noticed it says you have no mods loaded

[raven flame]

should I?

[hazy pier]

did you disable everything in the mod area?

cause

these need to be on

[raven flame]

never touched those

[hazy pier]

maybe try the discord

[raven flame]

yeah, I was thinking this needed to be brought somewhere else

[raven flame]

Got it to work, took some time but now the game runs smooth

[civic fjord]

How did you check if the game was using your GPU?

[raven flame]

While in game, ctrl+F3. Up in the left corner by GC Render

[left silo]

https://mods.vintagestory.at/geodesandgemstones

Pretty geode and gemstone mods, solely for cosmetic, probably work in 19.3

[left silo]

Apparnetly you can make bucket or chair and furniture out of them?

[ebon plover]

@dense saddle the resin is still there btw, i checked

i emptied the buckets into the barrel

it just takes a very long time to cure

[dense saddle]

I poured the resin into those buckets to test

[ebon plover]

oh i didnt know

[dense saddle]

because the resin wasn't curing in the barrel

[ebon plover]

i just poured them back in

[dense saddle]

it seems like some has vanished

because we had like 35+ liters and now it's down to 29

something is not right

[ebon plover]

yea that sounds weird

i gotta log back in once the storm is over

[dense saddle]

the galaxy is at peace

[left silo]

I think the resin amount do get decreased after drying out with Expanded Food?

You need to cook maple and birch syrups anyway and that reduce their size

[dense saddle]

well fuck

did the server just eat it

[ebon plover]

yes

[dense saddle]

🥹

[civic fjord]

Ripperino

[ebon plover]

it couldnt handle the charcoal

[left silo]

Whuh

[civic fjord]

charcoal overheated the server

[left silo]

Lmao

[dense saddle]

should we...

should we @ Creator

[past obsidian]

No. A power outage is happening

Eta is an hour till restoration

[dense saddle]

wow damn

sorry to hear that

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-weird-face-humanoid-robot-human-robot-gif-13576466

Server is back up

[left silo]

Huh

When did the alcohol fermentation changed

Producing alcohol from grain basically need way less than using berries or fruit because you grind it down to flour and then produce 50 liters of alcohol with 50 grain flours

Which means 5 liters of aqua vita only need 500 grains, which is an amount easily achieved by a decent sized grain farm

Oh wait nevermind, the result still only create 10 liters lf alcohol

So 2500 grains for 5 liters of aqua vita

[ebon plover]

the farming industrial complex

[ebon plover]

pumpkin field added

[dense saddle]

I wonder if there's like a chunk loader mod or something

the pine farm is definitely outside the loading radius for a lot of us in the village and beyond because as a test I AFK'd for about 30 minutes and more resin was in the buckets than I've seen since we installed the spiles

[civic fjord]

The resin also only comes out at certain times in the year

[ebon plover]

It's the right time now, they stopped throughout winter

[dense saddle]

The taps stop in December

We put them up in October

30 minutes isn't a month

In 30 minutes they climbed from 0.35l to 0.65l

It has now been another 40 minutes since I checked:

As I am running back and forth on the north side of town they have climbed from 0.65l to 0.7l

So they fill reasonably quick when you are nearby

like while I've been typing I'm standing next to the field and it's now climbed to 0.8l

the pines are too far

so there's got to be a solution to that

[hazy pier]

we have i think 60+ pinetrees tapped

thats a lot

[past obsidian]

This shouldn't matter because the game will still keep track of time on unloaded chunks, it'll just snapshot the chunk to 'the present'

[hazy pier]

and it still even with the wierdness produces more resin then you would normally be able to get in general via vanilla methods

[dense saddle]

we haven't even gotten useable resin yet have we

[hazy pier]

yeah we did

[dense saddle]

where's it at

[hazy pier]

you need to put in ab arel then break the barrel

[dense saddle]

The barrel full of Fresh resin?

[hazy pier]

for now on this is what you need to do use the spare buckets to get all the resin into one bucket

then when its full at 10 l just let it set on the ground until its done

then when you no longer see %cured put it into a barrel and detroy the barrel

[ebon plover]

It's still curing

I literally keep telling you it takes a month and a half to cure

iirc it's 2006 in game hours

It takes a lot of time

[hazy pier]

@dense saddle

[dense saddle]

thank you

because here's what I've been looking at the entire time

[ebon plover]

oh huh weird

[hazy pier]

is that on the ground or in your inv

cause the 10 literes is what i see when its on the ground

i see the cured when its in my inv

[dense saddle]

It's on the ground, because the tooltip with the curing percentage is exclusively when you mouse over, but because I've only ever had those buckets in my hotbar I have never once seen that number

which is what lead to this

because when you look at the cellar bottles this is what you get

so I just assumed that the information provided from examining an object on the ground was going to be consistent with the mouse tooltip in your inventory

[ebon plover]

@dense saddle hopefully this helps ease your resin fears

[dense saddle]

Most certainly

Later tonight after I finish my Lancer game I'll look into creating some powered millstones near the shoreline. I think I can run them on a higher gear to increase production speed.

[ebon plover]

if you get those millstones running it could revolutionise milk production

[dense saddle]

🫡

creative mode experimentation has confirmed that 2x2 windmills on 3rd gear can power 4 querns at more than double handcrank speed

[ebon plover]

important

DO NOT FARM IN SUMMER

the heat will kill the crops

late june-late july = our version of winter

[dense saddle]

I noticed this while checking visiting the fields earlier

also

before I head off to get ready for my session,

At 2nd gear 2x2 windmills can power 8 querns at about double handcrank speed instead. 3rd gear can probably power 4 at 3-4x

[ebon plover]

capacity is more important than speed imo

[dense saddle]

I'm inclined to agree

[ebon plover]

given querns are used for grains and stones

which are basically always full stacks

and we currently have over uh

10-15

thousand

grains

[dense saddle]

god I wish water wheels were vanilla

[ebon plover]

after counting

we have about 12 thousand grain

[dense saddle]

what's the lowest expiration date on it right now

[ebon plover]

2 years

[dense saddle]

Hey May when you're on the server next can you make a bunch of sewing kits

We've got the materials necessary to upgrade our backpacks so I think it's about time

[ebon plover]

yeah

[dense saddle]

and sewing kits are the sole ingredient locking that

[ebon plover]

but we need more flax

its 52 flax twine for one backpack upgrade

[dense saddle]

roger doger will work on that

[hazy pier]

storm over

[dense saddle]

Wasn't the reason I left un/fortunately, sorry for leaving you to dry in that

[hazy pier]

nah its fine

i just sat in my storage until its over

i have 3 diffrent storage rooms

instead of just one

they are very small so nothing can spawn in them

[dense saddle]

immediately see the problem with the one I built on the server. I'll fix it tomorrow night

[ebon plover]

added a new field, circled area is where i plan to expand more fields to

i think im going to convert the north mostly into terrace farming, that'll require a lot more claystone and clay though so quarries away

the fields must grow

[civic fjord]

Looking at this map makes me wonder if the tree farms could be in the space between where my house is and the dump house

[civic fjord]

Here-ish

[ebon plover]

nah

tree farms need a lot of space

[civic fjord]

Maybe a wood farm would be out to the east and this space could be a sap farm

[ebon plover]

sap farm actually might be fair game though

but we also have insane syrup production already from berries

[civic fjord]

That's what the trees next to my house are for, just need to check which trees would be for that

[ebon plover]

and sap is much less efficient

main advantage would be it can't rot

maple/birch are the only trees that produce sap

[civic fjord]

So maple, birch, and two rows of pine

[ebon plover]

no pine

we have plenty of pine lmao

we have 64 pine

we already have a resin farm from pine

[civic fjord]

Oh, is that Staffen's resin farm?

[ebon plover]

yes

[civic fjord]

Doesn't that one have loading issues?

[ebon plover]

it doesnt matter

it produces like 10 litres of resin

[civic fjord]

Fair enough though, I can just do the sap

[ebon plover]

it would be an issue if it wasnt so giant lol

basically long term, Northside of village is going to be farming, Southside is industry and shipping, Underground is actual housing/kitchens/workshops

Once all possible space is used up ill wall off the first part of the village and start a second ring of building

will probably build a second pumpkin patch

[dense saddle]

I'm off to work for the afternoon but I finished the milling station. There are 8 querns running up to ~2x hand speed when you disembark at the base level. Next step will be to build a cellar under the querns so that things can be temporarily stored there, and then I'm going to open up that little harbor area more and add some other things in.

[ebon plover]

im gonna start setting up a shipping depot and market square then

Shipping depot will have a cellar that you can pull grain grom

[dense saddle]

I went ahead and set up the cellar for the south shore center, now I'm done for the day

[hazy pier]

steel furnace isnt working

no idea why

fixed it

its now partly upgraded to t3 bricks as well

[dense saddle]

I secured an excellent supply of olivine last night but I need to locate where the ilmenite is at

[hazy pier]

go to where the green dots in the map are

[dense saddle]

alright, I couldn't tell at the time

I have the foundation for 4 new cementation furnaces underway at the mountain shore

[hazy pier]

green is high yield red is low

[ebon plover]

you are truly making the midlands out there

[ebon plover]

i hope you like gelatin

[hazy pier]

how are we out of steel?

[dense saddle]

I haven't converted the blister steel from the last load yet

[hazy pier]

ah ok

[dense saddle]

The windmill on top of the village smithy is now fully replaced. The only thing that remains to be done is to construct a roof for its new home.

[left silo]

continueing my VS playthrough, I just remembered that even in the North, some crops cannot handle a tiny amount of heat

goddamn Rye

of course I had to find a ton of Rye seeds too...

[raven flame]

Guess it ain't my home no more

[astral swift]

if you have time to prepare, any melee enemy can be trivialized the same way as minecraft - stockpile a bunch of spears, build a pillar to stand on, and pelt it from a safe distance

[raven flame]

Already managed to defeat it, but a new problem has emerged

[dense saddle]

what the hell is going on in that field, damn

[left silo]

🐉

[civic fjord]

Is there a mod for dragons?

[hazy pier]

fantays creatuers

[inner hornet]

yeah most recent fantasy creatures update added red dragons

They should really do compatability options with kobolds so you can serve them

[left silo]

well, despite my attempt on trying to get leather making as fast as possible now that I started somewhere with limestone, I still ended up crafting a gambeson pant first before any leather required armor

and also made a tin bronze chain helmet after finding out that you only need the ingots and I got plenty of that, so I just lack a body armor, meaning 50 percent of incoming attack will just kill me

but hey, still much safer than before

also really appreciate just getting a bunch of spears made and threw them at anything, I took one hit from a moose and it wiped half my health in one attack, goddamn moose

I'm not taking any chances anymore, I'm just gonna spam spear

I also decided to partake in some hobbies now that my essential is basically secured, like butterfly catching and making a giant museum to display them

[hazy pier]

good luck there are 119 species of butterfly

[left silo]

yay

gotta capture them all!

[left silo]

also, is using water block to automoisturise your farming blocks nerfed? it only seems to reach 75% percent now

and also it seems like medium quality soil is still usable but as each stage consumes the nutrient, the growth rate slowed down rather dramatically

[dense saddle]

yes water block moisturization stops at 75%

before a sudden rush of work forced me to close the client I started processing a bunch of iron. Unfortunately I was not finished and it was still in my inventory when I logged out

I will finish and deliver the iron when I awake from whatever dark slumber awaits me

[left silo]

this is, the weirdest ruin I have found

I'm not sure if this is mod or the ruin update in 19.4

but I found a gigantic castle ruin.... and on the top floor, there's a goddamn merchant just up there

motherfucker made this ruin their house

[left silo]

well

apparently I just randomly found a blue gambeson body armor in an underground ruin, so now I'm fully protected with the most mixed up armor pieces

annnd the same ruin, modded I think, has a bunch of boozes in them

hell yeah

distilled booze even, so these are never going to expire

[left silo]

...well, this is gonna be annoying

so to have the river mod that, well, generates river, work on my current VS session, I have to increase the water surface setting to like 400 percent

this... resulted in my journey to go South for warmer climate involving going over almost 4k of just water

[hazy pier]

i got plenty of rivers when i upped it only a little

[left silo]

Thankfully, primitive survival mod gives me a raft that's just WAY more usable than the base game ones, so that 4k journey is done rather quickly

That said, definitely not planning to do another one any time soon

[dense saddle]

ah, server needs updating

[hazy pier]

once it does all the hides we have need to be quickly soaked if we can

[ebon plover]

We Def have enough lime

I need to process our lychee

If only we had harp seals

the finest producer of the pearls for boba

[dense saddle]

sh-should I @ Creator?

[ebon plover]

to update the server? Can't hurt

I don't believe creator would mind

[dense saddle]

@past obsidian

and Happy Imminent Birthday

[past obsidian]

Ah time for the inevitable update?

[dense saddle]

yup

[past obsidian]

With the hide decay

[ebon plover]

update time

[dense saddle]

oh, wait,

I wonder,

let me test a mod real quick

because I was going to suggest adding something

[past obsidian]

Does it prevent hide decay?

[dense saddle]

lol no

sailboats ⛵

ayyy sailboats still appear to function

https://mods.vintagestory.at/joyofsailing

[past obsidian]

Also I have to update 2 mods.

Server is launching

[dense saddle]

okay based on my rigorous 7-8 minutes of testing the sailboat mod continues to function perfectly on 1.19.4

[dense saddle]

they

they slowed down the speed of hammer swings

[dense saddle]

The batch of iron is complete. In all there was about 68 ingots worth of it; I retained 32 at the south shore steelworks for once all the furnaces are operational

There's still more ore to be smelted though

[left silo]

museum created, now I just need to fill it with stuff

[raven flame]

Anyone got a tip on finding tin?

[hazy pier]

just keep prospecting really

[astral swift]

my strategy was to set up my initial base in a location that happened to already have Very High tin

but your mileage may very

[left silo]

you just need to get very lucky with prospecting and actually finding it

once you find it, you got all the tin you need, but if you don't, you gonna have a hard time finding it

[raven flame]

The peasant hut takes shape

[left silo]

oh, this is much better looking than the shitty looking cobblestone house I made because I'm terrified of fire

[dense saddle]

I, too fear the fire

[left silo]

Only my museum is made out of wood because it's not like I will put anything hot near it

[severe jay]

afaik the only thing that can light anything unintended on fire is a pit kiln

you could literally put your whole campfire and forge setup in a wooden box and you'd be gucci

[dense saddle]

I built my first ever roof over my kilns out of harvested logs and then discovered, to my horror, that 3 blocks high was not high enough to protect it from the fires, and since then I have been extremely particular about my building process and material choice

[raven flame]

Made a simple forge area

[ebon plover]

• english settlements on the coast of york, shortly before disastrous consequences c. 800CE

[severe jay]

lol

but yeah its only pit kilns you have to be careful with, nothing else will light fires

[ebon plover]

grain shipment is ready in town

also @dense saddle so youre aware when farming, the only way to get pumpkin seeds is carving pumpkins, the vines dont drop them

[dense saddle]

Yup

We had a few pumpkins on the verge of fully rotting

I carved them up

I'm a bit annoyed you have to choose between either having pumpkin slices or pumpkin seeds

[ebon plover]

yeah

its a little annoying

its a major grain shipment btw

we must have bread

[dense saddle]

[ebon plover]

im also going to start making standard tailored gambesons

[dense saddle]

I'd like to ask again that you make some sewing kits specifically to improve our storage capacity

[ebon plover]

ye i can

but i also need to upgrade my own packs

what are you currently on?

[dense saddle]

The very first kind

I can't remember what they're called

We do however currently have a max stock of flax twine so we can afford to be a little generous

[ebon plover]

mhm

upgrades should all be fine then

just means a need for more farmland

which was the plan anyway

vintage story is funny to me because early game is like

"augh me back im dying at 35 from a lack of protein in my diet"

and then late game you just remove hills to turn into farmland

[dense saddle]

oh, if you can

please also make a couple more piece of angled thatch roof

I need to climb back on the windmill at some point and add them because the shape of the current roof bothers me a little

it feels like the roofing should cover slightly more

[ebon plover]

oh i was also planning to edit the windmill

[dense saddle]

how so

[ebon plover]

exact same reason lol

was gonna add some shingling to blend it better

maybe some chiseling

[dense saddle]

by all means then do as you will

[raven flame]

Let's fucking go

Bronze age here i go

[dense saddle]

As I predicted,

After one week it is time to begin looking for more iron

[hazy pier]

i honestly don't know where to look

[dense saddle]

We'll be exploring afield

which is kind of why I wanted the sailboats

and thank you May for the sewing kits, it's greatly appreciated

[hazy pier]

i think the teleporter in the old iron mine might lead to iron

are we out out or is most of steel

[dense saddle]

We're not out of iron ingots

We're about out of iron ore

I have an unfired load at the mountains

[ebon plover]

np, weill make more

also more medicine

thatll be useful for deep mining

[dense saddle]

I finally dropped off the steel that had been waiting at the mountain by the way

another 32 ingots

a further 32 is in the furnaces currently, 50% done

I probably won't have time tonight to fully work those

[ebon plover]

I can

[ebon plover]

bad news

we are very very low on claystone

i could swap to a new type of stone for the new farm expansions

but we also need charcoal for terra preta

[hazy pier]

we live on claystone so its not hard to get a ton of

[ebon plover]

yeah itd just require quarrying which is not super interesting

we could expand the underground base again and simultaneously benefit i suppose

[dense saddle]

I can address the claystone shortage

Think I have a bunch because there is a source in my mountain

There, just doubled the amount of claystone stone in storage at the warehouse

I will have more later

there should be enough for 4 stacks of claystone cobble

[dense saddle]

I put in the rest of my stash of claystone. There should be enough for your projects, May.

what I would propose now, since we have an issue of needing a lot of materials for terra preta, is to identify the most efficient options for producing rot so we can get a lot of compost going

There's plenty of charcoal for the terra preta; the bottleneck is the damned compost

It takes the most time to produce

Also, on the subject of flax grain:

I advocate mostly reserving it for either the compost rot or for generating oil

Flax grain is substantially less nutritious than alternatives like spelt or amaranth

like 30 for flax vs. 60 for spelt

But we inevitably will produce a lot of it because of the constant need for linen

[ebon plover]

I have actually been on it

• part of the field and expansion plans is to grow large amounts of carrots/spelt
  They replenish N/K respectively and have the highest yields for the shortest growth

[ebon plover]

also agreed, the use I have for the flour is bread crumbs which increase the grain stat of any stew or soup by ~100-120

I want to phase that out into other kinds but for now it's the most abundant

otherwise I'm planning to set up a general press factory/boiling area in the town to process soy milk, oils, and fruit

I also want to move our current apiaries and livestock

The apiary is too small right now for wax/honey production, and gets in the way of our fields

[dense saddle]

yeah, I have noticed that

[ebon plover]

The livestock block the fields and are also fairly overcrowded

Expanded wax products means not just more lighting but also that we could preserve high value meals in sealed crocks for years

[dense saddle]

excellent

[ebon plover]

this probably means logging what little is left of the towns forest fire space

[dense saddle]

we can probably designate some spots to preserve

[ebon plover]

I'd recommend you build a tree farm on your side of the lake btw

For charcoal/stick production

[dense saddle]

It's a plan along the way

I will be clearing some of the redwood soon for another load of charcoal

also, don't know if you're the one who put it here but there are 4x64 stacks of claystone cobblestone at the resin farm

in a reed chest

[ebon plover]

I don't need claystone cobblestone I just need claystone stones cause I need the various kinds of claystone blocks

[hazy pier]

i wish red wood seeds werent so rare

[dense saddle]

they also don't grow as tall when you plant them

for now I think next major priority is securing a new iron source

there are a couple possible candidates nearby but I don't really know what lies further afield

Like I haven't surveyed around the teleporter destinations

[hazy pier]

thats probally the best places to check that wouldnt be extremely far walks

[dense saddle]

I know there's magnetite around the southern olivine field, the one accessed from the east teleporter

[ebon plover]

Hopefully we don't enter the bog iron age

[dense saddle]

alright I'm delivering the flour and salt shipment

then I think after a break I'm going to go on a survey

[dense saddle]

I am thinking ahead, you see. By avoiding a situation now while we still have an okay supply we can prevent a slowdown of expansions.

also, gotta say, a nice little mechanic that would be realistic

with specific lower-tech metals (copper or bronze),

Tools ought to be able to be hammered back into condition to repair them

Iron/steel tools literally lose material as you lose them but bronze stuck around so long historically because it simply lost it shape. Bronze weapons and tools can simply be bonked back into their intended configuration

[eager gazelle]

I wish I were a copper tool

[dense saddle]

My first survey report:

The area within a few hundred units to the west, east and south of the translocator exit for the olivine source (hereafter known as The Green Savannah due to the peridotite) contains low amounts of hematite -- highest I saw was 1.71% hematite to the southwest of the translocator position, at 2783x6966.

However the Green Savannah does have a good amount of copper, nickel, and bismuth: 3209x6948 contains 13.53% Pentlandite, and 12.04% Native Copper.

Cupronickel (~65% copper, ~25% nickel) is a necessary alloy for construction of certain machines, including new teleporters. It would be a valuable resource to have once we have secured enough iron for increased production scale.

[hazy pier]

the teleporters you can make are worthless

[dense saddle]

The terrain is very difficult here. It will require some work to make it easily traversable. I have not yet been able to approach the area north of the translocator exit; it is a tall mountain and will require more effort.

[hazy pier]

I don't think any of the jonas items are worth making

[dense saddle]

base return teleporters would be extremely nice. But yes they are absurdly expensive for what they are.

[hazy pier]

base returns are single use

[dense saddle]

yes exactly

I was mistaken in believing we could build the same sort of teleporter that Creator set up for quickly reaching the village

[hazy pier]

the terminus one is probally the only one id make just because its reuseable death teleport to save stuff

[ebon plover]

Bismuth bronze would be great

[dense saddle]

I have made the worst thing conceivable

[spoilered for conceptually gross]

because there was some dough that was gonna go bad and I had a pocket full of...

yeah

[left silo]

oh good lord

[ebon plover]

🐹

[eager gazelle]

I'd conceptually eat that.

[dense saddle]

We once again have a healthy stockpile of steel.

It should last a while

I estimate at least a week!

[dense saddle]

and now, once we have solved the iron sourcing problems, we will be able to up our production to two weeks' worth of steel at a time!

[past obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/never-give-up-final-week-gif-3523634

[dense saddle]

I located the Green Savannah iron

The iron here is very rich. I estimate approximately 3K iron bits

[dense saddle]

It was actually 4,000

I couldn't get all of it but hey this'll last a little while

maybe even like a week and a half!

[dense saddle]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINDUSTRYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Also, lastly, I have produced a stack of 64x terra preta.

[dense saddle]

Looks like the server's offline woop never mind back up thank you Creator

[past obsidian]

...but I didn't do anything

[dense saddle]

(for hosting)

I discovered that a lot of the older grain is spoiling

The stuff that was saveable I have in the quern machine while I am doing some work

[raven flame]

The cozy time of the year

[dense saddle]

I will require assistance in getting the next load of charcoal firewood loaded

It will be a lot

[ebon plover]

I'm gonna be off he server for a week due to being away from home

Good luck to the charcoal loading tho

[left silo]

Had a thought, is there anyway to generate pregenerated building in creative mode?

I just want to figure out what new ruin came from 19.3 and what is from mod

[left silo]

in hindsight I should have just downloaded stone quarry mod, that makes getting stones much faster

[left silo]

seems like the area I'm in is windy 24 7 so going full windmill lets me power up a lot of things

just need to get all the flax first

[left silo]

revamped my cobblestone house to something that actually looks nice

well, only the roof thus far, is hoping to make some fancy blocks and replace the whole thing brick by brick

[left silo]

this is also my windmill, made with random construction material I have found in ruins, and also have a modded windmill my quern can actually run off one windmill only for a proper look

[left silo]

annnnd distiller borrowed from some ruins have been set up, I can now make some concentrated moonshine

[left silo]

I have obtained bamboo and thus the best drip

[left silo]

Tried the coinage mod and the coin does look pretty but the game is freakibg out from rendering so many polygon at once

It's really the problem of too many object being rendered

[left silo]

okay, I think I should start a new project, since winter is about to come, I might as well set up a greenhouse for the next year

[inner hornet]

is there reverse greenhouses irl? I guess that's just air conditioning really

[left silo]

i think so

it's why that's so expensive

the only cost effective way of growing cold climate crop in hot place is go somewhere high

which is what they did here, but mostly as tourism shit

[inner hornet]

oh yeah! I forgot about altitude

[left silo]

annnnd greenhouse completed, really got a ton of contruction material lying around

you know what, greenhouse looks nice enough and this fall has been really consistent with its below zero temperature thus far, I think I can extend my farming season properly to 9 months

so I think i will make more greenhouse and grow everything in them, summer is hot, but none of them are more than 30 degree hot, enough for a lot of crops with 40 degree heat endurance, I might even be able to plant rye in winter

depending on how cold winter gets, because I still haven't encounter it in this session yet

now to make all the iron and eventually upgrade them all to steel

and finally, I can actually make use of the meteoric iron I have found

[left silo]

in this playthrough, I noticed I'm using a lot more lead ingots than I thought, mostly because I actually bothered to decorate my building this time so making all the window panel is eating up all of my ingots

[past obsidian]

Just a heads up, I'm going to be without Internet from midnight CDT to 5am

ISP is doing maintenance

[dense saddle]

🫡

[left silo]

finally created an iron anvil and made a meteoric iron chain helmet from it, and the helvehammer really helped in mass procession of iron

unfortuantely, I don't have an easy source of olivine this time, so it looks like my steel furnace, whenever I make one, is going to be more fragile than usual

[left silo]

okay so it looks like vintage story expended food mod is working perfectly fine on 19.3

okay, time to make all the candied fruit shit

[left silo]

trap door count for cellar rigth?

[hazy pier]

yes

[left silo]

okay thanks

annnnd absolutely destroyed the hill behind my buildings, I now have more space to build crap with

[left silo]

annnd out of glass for my fourth greenhouse for the coming spring

[left silo]

and year 0 has passed, winter still raging though

firework in primitive survival is very much just cosmetic, but it's also kinda fun to make and launch them

[left silo]

Now that my house is basically more than fully functional, time to make some sauces with expanded food mod so I can make some real fancy sushi dishes when winter ends

Also, I now realise the power of rye, because it can withstand up to -12 degree celsius, and with a green house, I could farm it when it is -17 degree

It's still too cold, but I think I can put it down when february came, which is very early for farm

Also yeah, I spent sometimes making a bunch of green house, each can handle 81 crops

4 of them currently, which is probably more than enough for one person

I don't even have the seed to utilise all of them

[left silo]

seriously, I don't understand why does my copy vintage has these visual bug with expanded food mod, it makes no sense

nothing really affect it, it's just that the food just looks weird in colour

[left silo]

expanded my stone oven, and now I can make a whole bunch of breads and pemmican and hardtack and other thing that requires oven in one go

My plan to use greenhouse to grow Rye early is sadly, dashed, because the damn winter stay precisely above -17 degree celsius at my home and thus I cannot plant down Rye at all

Either way, it's good to be back to my previous level of infrstructure and then surpassed it

[inner hornet]

What's the stone oven from?

[left silo]

https://mods.vintagestory.at/stonebakeoven here

it makes baking things way more convenient

annnd started my steel furnace, steel age here I come

[left silo]

really making the world most complicated mixing machine here...

[left silo]

behold, an entire windmill, with transmission setup, just to connect to one singular mixing machine

it does mix pretty fast when the wind get going though, which is almost whenever at this place

and yeah, I intentionally make it looks spindly as heck with fences

looks very haphazardly put together.

[left silo]

it really is a small town at this point

also, constructed an alchemy lab directly below my house, gotta keep my strongest potion here

[summer tulip]

[left silo]

ohhhh, second main story mission

[left silo]

Spring has finally arrived, but building all those greenhouses have been worth it for letting me start farming earlier, though that basically only let me farm Rye and Carrot earlier

And erm, I don't think I will need anymore carrots after that harvest

Now I'm just going through the process of waiting for stuff to grow to make wine or sauce out of them and just get as much grains as possible because I like baking bread

And also maybe get a chicken coop

Having eggs would be nice for softer bread and stuff

I think I have basically achieved every goal in the game currently, just surviving in leisure now

I might just construct random stuff at this ppint

Tiny frogs

[hazy pier]

they showed grasshoopers earlier

[ebon plover]

YES

I love these frogs

They're native to where some of my family lives and they have the best noise ever

[ebon plover]
