#Vintage Story
hazy pier
with the elk stuff i really hope taming and generations gets reworked
severe jay
Finally got the like, main structure of the castle done, now for fun detailing :3
And then tackling the interior
past obsidian
So I uh...just saw a video of the new hostile creature that's coming soon.
Spoilers and ALSO an arachnophia warning.

ebon plover
uh huh yeah beat it to death with hammers
hazy pier
when doe sthe new creatuer show up
hazy pier
ok ill wait then
severe jay
Ah yes lovely I hate it
round oyster
oh awesome
hazy pier
oh awesome
oh what do you think of the redwood
round oyster
oh it's a nice piece, didn't get to see much of it when i dipped by the server but it was neat to see
hazy pier
you can't go inside to to me setting up protection around it as a concqince of me saving it
vivid burrow
I just bough vintage story and am living out my squalor dreams, was always fascinated by terrafirmacraft but always ended up bouncing off of it but am not having the same feelings here
Still trying to figure out copper so that I can have something a bit more than a dirt hut with a moat
hazy pier
do you want to know how to get copper?
vivid burrow
I sort of know I can get it from surface pebbles and from panning sand but am trying to be blind for now
hazy pier
have you been marking surfice depsoits
vivid burrow
I marked a spot where I found a native copper pebble, but haven't seen anything more than that yet
hazy pier
yeah surfice spots and panning is the main way to get copper early on
enough to get a pickaxe and hammer made
crimson gazelle
you'll also want a crucible and probably charcoal for your sanity's sake
vivid burrow
oh yaya, I have started producing charcoal after reading in the ingame guide that I needed it to even smelt the copper nugs
neat dragon
I'm starving to death
but I do have a thatched house
so really who is the loser here
vivid burrow
oh ya, I do enjoy that world hunger isn't a thing that's solved by day 2
I can only hope the berries and turnips I got will be enough to sustain me once they start giving results (or give me a surplus for winter)
but until then its whatever cattails I can find
left silo
You only really need charcoal if you can't find coal for some reason and also has a huge source of wood
Charcoal is also important for a thing later but nothing you need ro worry about now
hazy pier
it would be good for them for the copper even if its just alittle
vivid burrow
I c, I've had no luck yet with surface deposits that aren't quartz, but I'll be on the lookout then
I already got the pick head from panning so I'm halfway there at least
crimson gazelle
oh ya, I do enjoy that world hunger isn't a thing that's solved by day 2
before we have grain, me and my SO tend to starve for up to a year on the servers we play. i enjoy that hunger's very much a consistent problem if you don't crack down on solving it
ebon plover
I might log on later to glaze some more btw
severe jay
o ye the structure of the castle is done if ya wanna take a lil look while ur on, its a bit of a walk tho lol
vivid burrow
before we have grain, me and my SO tend to starve for up to a year on the server...
yayaya, I like that it keeps you busy, I like how the game feels paced
of just having fairly involved crafting and processing, long-term inworld crafting, and smaller busywork tasks (like panning or watering), interspersed with "oh no I need to find something to eat"
hazy pier
i feel like vintagestory is really well balanced mostly
hazy pier
how does the elk riding work
vivid burrow
I have slowly been turning my hut into a home
had a clay run I had to cut short due to finding more copper, and also the world breaking down and making things pour out of the seams
that indoors torch I've kept lit ever since I first crafted it during the tutorial
forest ice
How do you keep a torch lit?
past obsidian
If you want it to last forever, you need a torch holder
vivid burrow
I see, that looks a ways away
its been kept lit because I've had to relight the other torches or whenever I want to start another fire
past obsidian
But if you break the torch block before 2 ingame days it won't expire
vivid burrow
yaya
forest ice
ooh
crimson gazelle
How do you keep a torch lit?
btw, torch holders can only be crafted out of brass, unless they changed that in the newest version
it's a bit picky and strange a choice but there's not much other reason to make brass
crimson gazelle
yes, you can make them with glass/quartz, plates, and beeswax
oil bowls are another permanent lighting solution but theyre cheap but dim
tender peak
I remember seeing one in a video that was basically just seed oil and a bowl
crimson gazelle
I usually see it with animal fat but no clue if seed oil would work
tender peak
oh might have been animal fat yeah
ebon plover
I remember seeing one in a video that was basically just seed oil and a bowl
That's from expanded foods
tender peak
surprised it's not vanilla considering how important seed oil lamps were
past obsidian
So doing some light research, bringing the 1.19 world over to 1.20 right now would have all kinds chunk errors.
left silo
huh, well, guess I might as well make a new playthrough when it's out
vivid burrow
berries and turnips have started to bear results! I've managed to stock a few in a hastily made cellar
I was also lucky enough that the ruins I settled on top of actually had a bed and two torch holders in it, my lifelong friend Starter Torch shall never burn out now
been prospecting around and found a spot that has some very good copper amounts, but I've had a hard time finding a non-scary cave to try and do a full spelunk (they were either too short, or housed denizens of the deep)
crimson gazelle
very disappointed you didn't say "bear fruit"
though i guess neither of those are fruit
(i don't consider berry a fruit just to be controversial)
vivid burrow
I almost did say bear fruit but the turnips physically stopped me from doing so
vivid burrow
first prospecting-based copper found! Hopefully its gonna be enough for an anvil (but at least the copper refill is gonna be good to keep me going for a while more).
also with all these pebbles and a clay run in the future I can begin converting my hut from dirt to rock too
past obsidian
The answer is yes, it's going to be enough.
Actual underground copper veins are large, and that's of Rich quality so its going to be a lot.
vivid burrow
oh yaya, I haven't finished the vein but I already have like a bajillion copper, part of me is now thinking whether to get greedy and try to go straight for bronze, or if I'd rather have access to all the good stuff an anvil would give me right now
past obsidian
1.20.0-pre.5 is out with some neat changes.
Drifter rock accuracy is finally being nerfed
round oyster
What do you mean a second one
tender peak
What do you mean a second one
Don't worry about it🙂

Does anyone plan on being on the server in the near future by the way?

MEXICO FILTER
hazy pier
i thought about as a joke someone make scenes in mexico more and more yellow until someone just wipes it cause its mustard on the lens

everyone replicating the man who knew too much and Indiana jones
Unintentionally presenting an accurate representation of life in... 1940
But everything else is just redoing those two scenes in progressively not as good ways
and of. Course adding the piss filter
I really wanna know the first person to add the piss filter because it's in neither of those movies
past obsidian
Well, I just saw video of the 2nd new mob
And OH boy armor is now going to be more needed as a thing.
Like, I'm going to be tempted to actually make stuff like lamellar
Anyway, I'm probably going to take the server down. I just need to where I can store the 2.1gb world file for people to grab if they like.
tidal drum
and of. Course adding the piss filter
This is at least just a saturation boost and not a yellow wash over everything
vivid burrow
ooooh, I'd want to see the cold vibes too tho
oh yeah after a break I actually took stock of what I had and it was enough for a full bronze basic set, part of me shouldn't have been greedy, part of me.
I'll have to set up a proper smithy and kitchen soon instead of using the same corner for both, but first I'll try to figure out planks so that I can get a door for my cellar, and get some fire clay so I can start thinking about bread eventually
past obsidian
I'm playing around with some stuff and this should give people an idea of how HUGE iron discs are.
dense saddle
Oh the server's down right now
not that you have to bring it back up just for me or anything creator, if you see this
I had a moment and was thinking of trying to remember how to play but it can wait til it's ready to come back online
past obsidian
Yea, I'm unsure when I'll bring the server back up at this moment
dense saddle
hmm.
Would it be possible to get a copy of the save for local play in that case? I'd like to revisit building my stupid castle
past obsidian
Yea I just gotta figure out where to upload it
ebon plover
Enjoy the massive alcohol reserve in the basement lmao
past obsidian
dense saddle
hell yeah
past obsidian
Look at that compression
dense saddle
lmao
past obsidian
This download should work
past obsidian
dense saddle
ah great
past obsidian
Buh?
dense saddle
It's treating old game version as a mod
They must have done something in this update to fuck up the way it handles mod compatibility
past obsidian
Oh are you on one of the prereleases?
past obsidian
Weird
dense saddle
Somehow it acted like it was trying to go online. I have no clue. I guess I will have to look into it
dense saddle
I can't get it to work...
I've tried a lot of things and can't find anyone with the same problem
oh well
at least it's backed up
hazy pier
what happens ifyou just launch it ignoreing the mods does it crash?
dense saddle
It won't even load
dense saddle
No matter what it just spits this "missing mods" error
And then when it closes it brings up the server screen, so I'm guessing something is off between this having been a multiplayer world originally and on someone else's account
past obsidian
Let me try something real fast
Uploading a file
@dense saddle Try t his file now
dense saddle
Will try it when I have a moment
tender peak
I mean looking at the error, it wants 1.20.0-pre, you're on 19.8
past obsidian
The map was never updated tto 1.20.0-pre though
tender peak
odd that its wants it then
maybe there's a file somewhere in there that says what mods to expect and just edit that?
dense saddle
okay just tried -- yeah no different this time either
I guess I'll... try... updating to beta 🥹
see you in hollywood mexico
see the problem with this is gonna be that it probably breaks basically every mod
"upgraded". now trying to load the world
it's trying, by gum
oh it worked
okay crashed after remap restart
ope we're good
past obsidian
Yay
dense saddle
I was wondering if that would do anything but most likely not. Thanks for the effort nevertheless
the backpacks mod doesn't work anymore 😭
dense saddle
Okay having taken some time to look through and check that all the blocks are working and nothing's fucked up,
It's completely insane that I built all that shit lmao
thank you again creator
I can now continue building the winchester house but as a horrible industrialized medieval castle
dense saddle
NOOOOOOOOOOO
civic fjord
Can't believe they desaturated my turnip
dense saddle
inner hornet
who out ther frosting their crops?
dense saddle
Not me (the server originally settled in an area which was warm year-round [except my mountain castle/windmill farm/industrial slag generator is too high up in the mountains])
by the way sailboats are crazy, except they aren't working fully just yet
I learned this after spending way too much time gathering wood
dense saddle
they did something to the anti-aliasing and LOD and now everything looks horrible
AUGH
dense saddle
I think I resolved it mostly
they added some new scaling options for stuff like LOD, I think. It's not 100% back to where it was it's closer
ebon plover
Don't forget to transfer the crops from the town if that's singleplayer
There's so much useful stuff in town
dense saddle
It is
and I have been, but May I'm sorry to report that the shingles on a bunch of the buildings are broken...
they changed something about the shingle blocks in whatever mod those are from and they're now all fucked up. I've gotta go to creative and change them over at some point
hazy pier
i wonder if the tree is still locked
cause i had to make a ownership zone when i saved the blueprint
ebon plover
they changed something about the shingle blocks in whatever mod those are from a...
that's
concerning
particularly because none of those shingles are modded
do you mean porcelain?
dense saddle
no!
I remember the blocks you used and they are in fact still there, I just thought they were modded because the placed blocks are all fucked up
So something in the experimental update screwed them up
hopefully that won't be the case on full release
dense saddle
jumpscared by halloween
dense saddle
Okay I bit off more than I could chew with trying to connect the village to the castle
hazy pier
how are you trying to do it
dense saddle
I had the idea of a walkway that traveled underneath the lake with glass walls to see outside, partly to avoid digging deeper and causing the gear to invert along the passageway
and after several hours I have the foundation mostly sorted out for that passageway
I have the tunnel's shape filled in with dirt right now so that the water is pushed out after the walls are done
And now I'm realizing how daunting the glass is gonna be
hazy pier
cut the glass in half for double the glass
dense saddle
yeah that's what I'm doing
that does also present a little bit of a complication because I can only be underwater so long and it's deep
So I'm gonna be doing very small sections
It's gonna take a little while to complete
But now I'm fucking committed
Just need to find more quartz
potent arch
didn't expect a Lancer/Vintage Story fan overlap lmao

it wasn't quite finished sadly, burnt out a little before i could really get it done

I should hop on tha server
dense saddle
I have tripled the speed on my quern machine and turned it into a proper blender
it is now so loud I can hear it from the quarry where I dug all the granite and slate I needed for the windmill towers I used to power it
I regret building my home on top of this
why is it louder than the fucking helve hammers

attempting to pull anything from the modded crates like in the smithy is now crashing the game
I'm starting to hit the point where I'm just go to creative lol
ohhhh no
these can't be deleted

this whole current build is fucked
dense saddle
the world now crashes on launch...

you might be better off at this point trying to use world edit to cut and paste your castle into a fresh version of the world

vivid burrow
its late winter, built myself up a new home and have just finished moving my stuff into it, still need to sort my storage but I got everything I needed on the other home ready, was never too good at building aesthetics but I think I got some decent looking homes at least
also I got a kitchen :)
past obsidian
I'm afraid
copper aspen
I'm excited!
hazy pier
i really can't wait for the update to be out(the non pre versoin)
copper aspen
Same here, if only because a more 'mobile' playstyle that I much prefer will become more viable
With a world so large to explore I really don't like how the game almost requires you to set down in one place

hazy pier
yeah i saw that ive been i nthe mood to play it
civic fjord
For Homo Sapiens, how does Prospecting work? I know by default it turns the ProPick radius off, but can you still search for ore or does the lack of a map mean you're basically on your own?
Thinking about just doing a solo Homo Sapiens run to not bother with lore stuff
hazy pier
it still show you percent in an area
i would honestlly turn the propick back on
yeah you have aboutely no map
not even one you can handraw so you want to create landmarks
you could if you want download a compass mod
civic fjord
I think I can turn the map back on, so I'll just do that
Anything else I should change from a base Homo Sapiens run?
hazy pier
if you just dont want lore and enemies you can just turn them off
sapeins mainly removes lore,enemies, traders, map
oh and you take i think double damage
also i would recomend waiting before you start a new playthough the update is very soon
civic fjord
Hrm
At earliest that's this Wednesday
And no idea how long mods would take to update
hazy pier
warm spade
i am incapable of being responsible, this game is too cool
hazy pier
im trying to see the new ruins if you find any show them if you can
hazy pier
one of them is supposedly decently large
warm spade
well I ended up setting up somewhere a billion blocks from there because I died, but, behold
a house
hazy pier
what do you think is a good landcover percent
inner hornet
I usually go for 80 with small ocean sizes, which provide decent chunks of land frequently split by salt water bodies
hazy pier
so 80 for land % 75% ocean scale
warm spade
it's rainy @hazy pier but I think this is supposed to have been an aqueduct
dense saddle
the total lack of purpose to oceans makes me think 80% is preferable
hazy pier
the first world kinda had a cool island start but everywhere around it was aweful
i also wish you could save presets
theres probally some handway to make a preset
warm spade
you can ctrl c ctrl v in the world config screen
warm spade
the total lack of purpose to oceans makes me think 80% is preferable
Sailboat? I guess?
hazy pier
you can ctrl c ctrl v in the world config screen
oh thanks this works but its really wierd
warm spade
yeah it's baffling
hazy pier
its cant you tell
dense saddle
I do unfortunately run my computer almost exclusively in Japanese for software compatibility
ebon plover
yep that'll do it lol
its such a specific issue that the second i saw i was like
aha
japanese file directory has been here
dense saddle
what is it
dense saddle
interesting
warm spade
anvil achieved 😌
left silo
ahhh, new update, but I think I will wait a bit
very excited about the Elk, new bricks systems, and the new ruins and enemies
warm spade
that feels like the opposite of a caveat
hazy pier
its more of i cant easily get any other stone type
and limstone is a softstone
one of the nearby ruins does have a lot of mushrooms i can grab every once in a while which is nice
warm spade
yeah it being soft is a pain but I feel like invariably I can never find any in my worlds
i found bees with no problem this time around though so I can't complain too much
hazy pier
i was orginally ognna stay in the ruins with all the mushrooms but the other ruins has a prebuilt tower
warm spade
oh that's cool as heck
Its been a minute since I've played but the ruins feel really cool
the vibes of VS really are immaculate
I've made a function fireplace and chimney
hazy pier
i kinda wish there was a stonepick that its only use was to grab the cobblestone blocks from ruins
hazy pier
day 2 and alreayd have 3 sacks due to locky cracked pot drop
did already die to a wolf thogh
the new wolves are a bit bouncy
hazy pier
i do have one big issue i havent seen copper/maclhite
warm spade
I'm not sure why I was suprised that wine makes you drunk in this game
but boy howdy does it
warm spade
I have captured the world's most ornery creatures
warm spade
this ruin is really weird
hazy pier
well it seems there is no machlite anywhere to the point im thinking of just restarting
warm spade
what do you need malachite for?
warm spade
well yeah but why is normal surface copper not good enough?
hazy pier
there is none
i looked around for multiable days not a single one, i had to pan for 60 bits of copper just to make proppickhammer and pick
and then did some prospecting still nothing
severe jay
Honestly I just set ore deposit rate to 300% in my worlds cuz that's such a pain in the ass
hazy pier
i like to keep most balance related stuff vanilla except for the temporal mechnics and enemy spawning
also they changed the tree default rate to 1x into of the wierd half speed
hazy pier
i had aforrest fire
really really bad
does not burn itslef out
the other thing that sucks about this is i just lost alot of mushroom spawns
severe jay
Rip mushies
Ugh I wanna play vs but I also wanna wait for at least one patch cuz I've heard the current rc is really buggy
warm spade
I've personally not found it buggy at all
severe jay
Huh aight fair enough
hazy pier
you can make fire clay now
warm spade
zinc feels like some kind of cruel joke lmao
one of the blocks on this screen is zinc
and it is so hard to tell which
hazy pier
yeah i used a mod for them specifcly
and one other
you only need tinbronze anvil for iron right?
past obsidian
Any kind of bronze
hazy pier
i have neplty of tin
but not copper oddly enough
cant find much underground copper mainly surface copper
i have so much zinc i just need the copper to match

you might want to wait
this verison has a nissue where it cna crash during worldgen of new rins

theres very little copper where i am
well no deep viens at least
i basicly dug in a spo thats 3% copper/hema hopeing to get either one
hazy pier
ok turns out i have less bronze then i thought
i need to go get sim ebismith or more tin
warm spade
july
damn you progress fast lol
i'm weathering out my first winter and I haven't even thought about going for iron
hazy pier
it was more of out of need for metal like i said only surface copper
i usally don't go for iron this early
but it being my highest copper% is lower than my highest iron%
hazy pier
i did find cooper in the iron section too

2nd ambush wolf death
i wish animals werent dead silent unless rigth next to them most of the time

I do understand the dead silent wolves, it's the sneak attack black bears that get me
Black bears certainly aren't exactly passive but they're also just sorta overgrown raccoons
hazy pier
one change id like to see is change the offhand hunger bonus to be item based
20% for just carrying anything in offhand is kinda silly

my base is coming along pretty well, though I think I've settled way too high in the hills, it's still like -15 in march

thats really good

let me show you my base its a refubsihed ruin
i think i will start on my real base soon
which will also be a ruin but of my own make
warm spade
that's pretty rad
hazy pier
yeah my map had a pretty good sized ruin that ive just fixed up a bit

my base is coming along pretty well, though I think I've settled way too high in...

v1.20.0-rc.2, a release candidate, can now be downloaded through the account manager.Time for an update. I don't know what to write here. Please picture a inspiring follow up post to rc.1 here ^_^;
[Edit:] Now released rc.3 to fix the ? blocks which version -rc.2 could generate in ruins and structures. If you had that happen while running rc2 - please update to rc.4 rc.3 (or any later game version) and go to the approximate centre of the ruin, there type command: /wgen regen 1 to regenerate and fix the issue (Warning: command will delete player-made stuff around there within a 1 chunk / 32 block range)
[Edit 2:] Also released rc.4 to fix an issue related to Vintagehosting and UDP Connectivity
[Edit 3:] Also released rc.5 to fix of one of the story locations no longer generating correctly in -rc.2 to -rc.4

dunno abt that

Is Flax still as nightmarishly tough to get as it always was?
warm spade
Yeah
It’s not especially hard to find it’s more just reliant on you getting a reasonable number of seeds before the first winter
And the stuff you really need flax for needs so much flax
warm spade
I have completed (story spoilers) ||the resonance archives for the first time. that was sweet||
||real kudos to the devs, that was a real dungeon, felt very cool. also had a toilet which I really appreciate||

you should not "get" agricultural products, you NEED to set up a farm by the first harvest
it's entirely doable, just don't get caught up building a house. you don't need it
hazy pier
yeah i had a pretty small field so far but i think it will be enough to last winter
my area is pretty heavy in mushrooms

I mean “set up a farm” and “set up a 50+ block flax field” are slightly different lol

hey if you ever want to wield a frankly worrying amount of power on the group vintage story session just lock in on farming
everyone just tosses their seeds at me and i grow the farm
we've like extincted all the local plants and i alone know where the secret seed stash is

i will not let them down. i have prepared a value system for use in nutritional recordkeeping for each type of plant harvested, where a handful of rye is 1 and flax grain is 0.25. i will use this to evaluate yearly performance
sterile inlet
Any mods I should look at
crimson gazelle
we use oneroof which is vital imo
you know how thatch roofs have this awful underblock that does not match any other block in the game? with oneroof you can replace that with another block
we also use machairodontidae and creatures and critters
but uhhhhhhhhh the elephantidae are kind of ridiculous
we had 2 full stacks of red meat from killing one
NO sorry that's not the mod that adds the mammoth. i have no clue what does that. if you find a mod that adds mammoths its kind of silly

honestly playing sp it kinda feels like you don't really need to have the biggest farm in the world, especially once you have the bow, and especially once you have the elk mount
it is just so easy to supplement your food with meat during the winter, and having the elk means you don't lose nearly as much time or hunger

Indeed. Haven't done much yet so far. Managed to gather up some rocks and sticks, make a knife, use that knife to cut some cattails, made some baskets and an axe, and started my first fire. Managed to make some torches and bed out of grass just as night was starting to fall, then decided to take a break. I really like the graphics, they feel crisp.
Making sure to collect the cattail roots too, since I heard that was good? I assume so that you can replant them somewhere close to your base for easy gathering.
I figure the next thing will be finding more trees to chop down and then finding a spot to set up a more permanent base of operations. I went with the Hunter class, so I think I can make a cheap bow and arrows?
left silo
you can also make a ton of spears and throw them at animals, the meat can sustain you for quite a while
vintage story is really a game about investment, of mostly your time and your resource at hand
you can cook clay into pottery like cooking pot or, pot, which lets your get more out of food and lets you store food longer
when you can spend less time getting food, you can focus your time on other things, like finding seeds to farm, or work other other projects to improve your circumstances.
or build an armor and lets you actually take hits
one of the main objective of the game is to survive the winter, so you essentially have a time limit, because winter makes farming & foraging food impossible and animals get thinner so you also get less meat from the.
I really recommend investing in pottery, it makes things so much easier
undone thicket

Understood. Any tips for finding clay?
severe jay
Look for discolored patchy grass
Most common is reddish, sometimes it'll be blue-grey,
Also if there's dark brown patchy grass, that's peat and that works as a slightly better alternative to firewood
undone thicket
... Like with little spots of red in it? May have walked over it already then.
summer tulip
Understood. Any tips for finding clay?
@glad timber has a lot of experience finding different kinds of terrain these days
but for clay I run around and look for little spots of red or blue in dirt, usually near water
hazy pier
oh one thing to note is use your map to mark stuff
summer tulip
when you look at it it'll say "clay (in soil)" or something like that
severe jay
oh one thing to note is use your map to mark stuff
Yeah this, like was said earlier, the game is about resource management, and knowing where to find things later when you'll need them is very very nice
undone thicket

it doesnt have monsters just animals, but it also gets rid of the map

ive played it some and i wouldn't really recomend it over just modifing the defaul
oh also animals do double damage in homo sapienes

Oof.
Good to know.
Was thinking of maybe restarting and trying out the game without the monsters and temporal storms first. Get a feel for just surviving.
hazy pier
yeah you can turn them off or at least limit how often they spawn
undone thicket
Gotcha.
left silo
you can also just turn on 'somewhat peaceful' mode
I said, somewhat, because despite the setting making it so that nothing attack you unless you attack them first, bear will still maul you at the first opportunity
it's part of the reason why I got a firearm mod, to defend my home as the founding father intended
undone thicket

any good replacement for hud clock mod, apparently it's not getting updated anymore and someone attempt to patch it didn't really, work.
It's a mod for an additional hud UI to tell you about time, temperature, season, and stuff

debating whether to install Xskills or not to spice my gameplay up this time
people have been talking about how it makes the game a bit too, gamey
and also, erm, I'm not sure if it won't conflict with some of mods I got or not

okay, so, not using combat overhaul mod, I don't know what the heck did it do to the armor system, and the bloody mod page doesn't even explain a single thing about it
I'm getting mauled by bear in testing and I have no idea why

un-fucking the old multiplayer save after that update hit was a nightmare
left silo
and I'm taking no damage from mob attacking me
left silo
okay, hmmmmmm
argh dammit
overhaul mods by the same author of the firearms and crossbow mod is required for both to works, and unfortunately right, the armor value changes caused by the mod basically turns you invincible
which means you need combat overhaul mod to fix this issue anyway
hmmmmmmm
fine
kind dagger
Yeah combat overhaul completely changes how the damage system works
And is required for all of the author's other mods to run
left silo
there's a new mod that's just called overhaul for people that don't want to use combat overhaul
...but it's also only just released like a day ago so it's kinda... not working
I guess I will just get further in depth with the armor system or something
looks like the layer also stack up armor tier so a hit from a bear gets reduced to merely survivable
yeah, okay, I understand how this works now
WOULD BE GREAT IF IT'S EXPLAINED ON THE MOD PAGE
so yeah, it is a layered system, you want armor tier to go as high as possible
animals for the most part deal slash damage, while the rot deal a mixed damage depending on which type.
kind dagger
WOULD BE GREAT IF IT'S EXPLAINED ON THE MOD PAGE
There is a link to a Excel document, it's hard as fuck to parse tho

So did I hear right that there's a server for this game here?
Because I'd be interested in trying it multiplayer. I think I might have more fun playing with other people.

I've only played with one other person but the game benefits immensely from even having at least 2 players to divide up the labor

That sounds really fun. Hopefully I can find someone to play with.

plus the systems are in depth enough that I had a good time mostly doing food production and not at all touching metalworking
the roadmap feels exciting in that regard since it feels like the developer gets it and wants it to be reasonably in-depth to make everything https://www.vintagestory.at/roadmap.html/

alright, let's actually start a new game

okay, the game started off pretty well, managed to find a ruin with extensive underground section so current hunker down over it, got clay and peat too, now I just need to find copper and... that's the hard part
ah, I really missed the cozy vibe of Vintage Story

finally, cooking pot, now I'm ready to tackle everything
left silo
got quite lucky with some underground loot, got some free brigandine (though copper) armor, and some bamboo for a nice hat)

lucked out with some tin nuggets and now I have created a tin bronze pick and hammer, the first 2 tools I have created, now it's time to mine
left silo
ah... lesson learned
don't cook meal in bowl with slightly spoiled food unless you are planning on eating right now
but anyway, bronze propecting pick and hoe are created, now I can move onto the next stage
now if only I'm not being surrounded by low quality dirt... I guess I will just have to make do

I need to start texturing my walls and shit
some of the little details in the NPC village were really kind of eye-opening

Nadiya does have a new model compardd to our usual Traders which are just so much more tiny compared to us
dense saddle
yeah they're all old
as in, oooooold
they're hunched over and tiny and frail
even they're only a head shorter
I'm going to guess bocks are 1x1x1 meters
so players are still quite tall given we're just under 2m tall -- something like 6'4" or so maybe

and when I finally got prospector pick, I have to double check with block overlay mod to see if what I'm reading is correct
because there's zero coal vein in this region
completely

this is actually the worse case scenario

I have managed to find more viable iron ore veins before finding coals

this is off to a good start
yes I can try to make charcoal but this place has not many trees either...
and again, no lime to make leather
oh boy

well this is gonna be one weird run
managed to make a tin bronze pick for the treasure hunter who is my first trader found this time
... and yet, I'm about to run out of ability to make metal
this is a really weird run
with enough food to last for a couple days and a random set of copper and bronze tools, I shall set out south to either find coal or die trying
left silo
this is actually stupid, did an entire forest not die here or something, there's zero coal 1000 blocks down south
christ
I have managed to find limestone early than ever before, sign of halite, and even iron ores
but somehow, coals have just disappeared
hazy pier
i usally just make charcoal
left silo
Yeah the problem with that is that I'm also seems to have spawned in a region with barely any tree so...
If I can't find coal, I think I will just try to find wood
I'm also mapping my path to the resonance archive, so 2 birds in one
Also I'm halfway through the journey and I still haven't find coal
Like a complete lack of sign of it, even using block overlay because this is getting ridiculous
Honestly, this is strangely fun
This run has been completely unorthodox to me, managed to get tin at the start, only to be blocked by a complete lack of coal, forcing me to go out and search for something or elsemy run ends here
hazy pier
on mine i had issues finding bronze to the point i went from bronze to iron very quickly

And barely able to craft actual bronze tool before my current coal supply that I got really lucky obtaining from a chest ran out
