[crimson gazelle]

the feasible geology helps a lot because all the iron deposits i've ever seen are super swag and yolo

just because of how most people mine when you clear it out you still have enough iron to find another vein

[civic fjord]

This is certainly a visual

[edgy carbon]

herobrine ass mineshaft

[umbral island]

this has kind of happened to me before

I broke my last hammer with nothing to melt into a hammer

[woven vine]

Literally my first game

[open wolf]

Me and the gang have started getting into quenching and tempering iron tools

What if you wanted to roam as a rust monster, but blackguard said: "Twice power quenced blackguard shortsword"

also twice durability quenched hammers casually having 2.4k durability over a normal hammer's 1800, all for like a cumulative 13% risk of failure or something of the sort

it's literally free just don't fail

I've got 3 forges all with bellows in the smithy doing parallel processing of iron blooms into chain and scales for my armor

I've observed iron blooms have variable material leftover once the ingot is completed, including one case where there was just literally no room for error

[amber trench]

before 1.22 it was possible to get an iron bloom that didn't have enough material

though helve hammers will always complete it regardless

[open wolf]

My friend made a mistake and did create a bloom just one voxel short and we had no idea what to do about it

I'm assuming it was a combination of an accidental mis-split and just no room for error

A water wheel has been set up nearby but we have yet to hook it up to anything, we're also skimping on anvils until we decide to go find borax

[forest ice]

You can leave the incomplete bloom in storage until you get a helve hammer

[open wolf]

I will say, copper smelting and its alloys is definitely more relaxing

Good tip we'll keep it in mind for the future

[umbral island]

can you quench and temper bronze and copper?

[amber trench]

no

[umbral island]

ahhhh

explains it

[civic fjord]

Searching for a native copper vein, get a reading in the shaft for "Large Amounts". Look around for where to start searching and

Thank u propick, very helpful

[high narwhal]

absolutely malding, i made a permanent charcoal pit with an iron door, not realizing that the forum post i saw that mentioned it was outdated

so i'm coming here to ask

if i use a kiln door instead, will it get damaged the way they do when used with beehive kilns?

[civic fjord]

Shouldn't be, do iron doors form a room?

Iron doors seem like they should work if they are flush with the inside of the pit and are the solid kind

[high narwhal]

i tried with a solid iron door

and trusted

and lost it all ;_;

goodbye 4000 firewood

[civic fjord]

Huh, can't find any patchnotes indicating the behavior changed, will have to look deeper

[high narwhal]

apparently it's just kiln doors and iron trapdoors now

according to the wiki

[civic fjord]

The wiki elsewhere says solid iron doors work, not sure what would make the difference

Just to check, what are the dimensions of the pit

The latest version of the pit should work up to 11x11x11 so long as the firepit is on top of a full firewood block

[high narwhal]

just 5x5x5

[open wolf]

Oh shit really
so I should use kiln doors?

[open wolf]

Huge potential upcoming update

With a rework to armor, visual and creation

I hope we can put big fans on our helmets or shoulder pads like a hussar

[civic fjord]

Funny that, I'm looking at armor right now

Found a nice copper deposit that unfortunately runs straight through some caves

And the enemies are all tier 3 with a locust nest off to the side

[tender peak]

At least for CO, a gambeson is so incredibly good for day to day armor

barely any negatives, surface mobs deal mostly blunt damage and low enough that it basically fully negates it

and you can wear metal over it when needed

[amber trench]

I wonder if that's why combat overhaul hasn't been updated yet

maltiez got hired

[high narwhal]

oh also i figured out what the fuck was wrong with my charcoal pit door

the iron door thing may still be the case, because of the wiki statement, but

the one i used (solid, though) was from a mod

just named Iron Door, from what I suspect to be better ruins

i don't know why in the world they wouldn't just use the existing iron doors in the game, but

this one didn't

[crimson gazelle]

looks inside iron door

actually wood door

[civic fjord]

Went back to the hell cave and sealed it off to gather the copper there. Almost died to a corrupt drifter but it was worth it

haul

That's 41 ingots of copper

[high narwhal]

yesterday was similar shenanigans for me

cave with three bells, a few dozen nightmare shivers and corrupt locusts and a constant wave of bowtorn...but also 120 iron ingots, 30 or so copper, a full inventory of saltpeter, and another 20 or 30 bismuth

the riches of the gods

[civic fjord]

I didn't get the whole vein either, there was a second vein of rich ore I only partially got before my pick broke

And I still need to find iron in there, though I might just dig another hole for iron because I don't want to risk going deeper

All I have for armor right now is wood

[high narwhal]

oh, was there iron in that chunk? sick

[civic fjord]

There should be, but I haven't found it yet

Also what is going on here

1.8‰ is poor but 1.65‰ is decent?

[mossy veldt]

Oh I had that happen once too, a worse descriptor with a better number

No idea why

[high narwhal]

oh, i was confused about this for a while too

but i finally stumbled across an explanation

the quality number is just compared to itself

1.9% is Decent for iron

10.91% is decent for copper

[civic fjord]

I know

These are all iron numbers

1.9, 1.65, and 1.8

[high narwhal]

...oh, i saw that second one as halite lol

[civic fjord]

1.8 is poor but 1.65 is decent

[high narwhal]

i guess it's just scanning the quality of the ore nodes, then?

so your chunks will be poor quality

[tender peak]

It is important to say that the numbers you see there don't actually correlate to what's actually in the chunk directly

it's weird

[waxen karma]

I love hell caves

They are always so bountiful... Yet so..
Evil

Perfect excuse for full plate and gambeson

[high narwhal]

and gambeson?

are you playing with a complex armor mod ?

[tender peak]

Thre isn't an inner middle and outer layer in vanilla?

[amber trench]

that's a combat overhaul thing

[high narwhal]

it's coming to vanilla, though!

[civic fjord]

Currently I am avoiding situations that require better armor because I'd want to get chain, and I don't have the leather necessary

[tender peak]

I love the CO method so much because you can just wear the gambeson during day to day do to barely any negatives and blocks blunt damage which is basically all there is on the surface

[civic fjord]

Currently I'm looking around to see if I can find something better for iron, so far no luck

[high narwhal]

i just accepted a 1.01%

gets you a million if you can find it

[civic fjord]

Yeah I might just check the 1.8 nearby since that might be the best I can get

Hopefully it doesn't intersect the same cave system

I did however find an ultrahigh for Sphalerite

[waxen karma]

Mhm, combat overhaul

The only thing that actually damages me once I've got everything on is super high level bowtorn

But this is like..
All the steel I made went into a full set of chain and plate, so I am slow

[tender peak]

yeah with full chain and plate you're a brick wall

both defensibly and being able to move just about as muhc

[tender peak]

for like 99% of cases gambeson+chain is enough imo

[waxen karma]

The plate is drippy tho

[high narwhal]

meteoric iron plate is both comically indulgent and utterly driptastic

like no fucking way you're getting the seventy meteoric iron ingots you need before you've gotten to steel

or otherwise cleared the file

however

[tender peak]

I made a meteoric plate set just to put on display

[high narwhal]

reasonable

[mossy veldt]

votive offering

[mossy veldt]

Ive marked so many meteors in this gravel biome thing that I could probably do it. I just need to find borax

[high narwhal]

:(

I've only found two meteors total, and one was like three blocks

the other was...30? ish

[civic fjord]

Every time I think I found a meteor I've been wrong

[tender peak]

once it clicks what they look like on the map they get easy to find

[open wolf]

A squad of 5 people including myself went to take on the resonance archives and then got comically wiped on the boss

I will say, everything up to that point was such a d&d-esque experience, and it was a ton of fun

[warm spade]

The boss is crazy tough

[civic fjord]

Hm, I wish the cabinets were slightly bigger so I could fit 4 crocks in them

I just want to store my empty crocks

[high narwhal]

empty crocks...

[open wolf]

Empty crocks are a sign of a farm that is too small

A friend has been doing animal husbandry, she has been doing it in a large building I have been calling the re-education facility because of its appearance as this big ashlar brick structure despite her trying to convince me otherwise, I finally went to check it out properly just a bit ago to find it has a glass roof and gratings in the animal pens in order to immediately seperate the children from birth and when I found this out she started cackling

It is kind of hilarious that it even looks like a dystopian prison and then I look inside and it just is

[forest ice]

lol
I call the cobblestone house my friend built the "data center"

[civic fjord]

90% of my meals are from hunting random animals, I haven't spec'ed into husbandry yet

[high narwhal]

animal husbandry is a fucking pain

[civic fjord]

I've got space in my house design set out for chickens and pigs, but I'll have to add on sheep later so I can get milk

I have also found hematite, but that will need to wait until I have some basic structure built for my new home

(It's also the dead middle of winter so fuck that)

[tidal drum]

Hey, it could also be a sign of a very productive potter

[tender peak]

The Factory pantry must grow

[inner hornet]

my favoirte gotta be raising chickens. it's a little frustrating having to have the pen away from the main area of living, but you can get them to lay eggs all year round as long as you have food for thme so they feel a lot easier to work on domesticating than hogs or sheep.

also my goto food for hogs ans sheep was berry mush and that's taken a huge hit with the way berries have been reqorked

[high narwhal]

oh, what was the berry rework?

[tender peak]

They work like fruit trees now

so you can't just pick up every bush you find

[high narwhal]

oh, with the cuttings

well, at least they don't have a fail rate like trees lol

[inner hornet]

you can't uproot every berry bush you come across and take it back home and instantly replant it.
now you have to take cuttings and it's like one cutting per bush per year, and then you have to go home plant the cutting and it takes most of a year so you get very little fruit for the first year at least

[tender peak]

Gotta make a mod that solves the traveling salesman problem between pods of berry bushes :v

[open wolf]

I do feel relieved others handle the massive task of agriculture around in the server I am in, and I hope they in turn are relieved by my supplying nice things like tools and lanterns and storage and glass and bricks

[tender peak]

As someone who's been on the other side of that, it's great

flashback to my high school biology teacher impressing on us that no, you can't just scrape mold off, because the visible part is a reproductive body it makes once it's already throughout the loaf of bread or whatever it's on

"don't do this, you're going to fuck a hole in the ozone layer again"

you get a bad summer and a lot of your crops get scorched, good luck

[open wolf]

The things I send my friends to do for lanterns

[high narwhal]

based and lanternpilled

i also quite like that workshop, it looks nice

could use the lantern-lighting, of course, but it's a simple, clean layout

[open wolf]

Alternate angle

I can get some pics of the overall surrounding area in a bit

We're making 19 lanterns though

[frail leaf]

that's a lot of lanterns

[open wolf]

we've got like 7 members to supply

we also finally have a helve hammer so I can just babysit it as it makes the plates

[high narwhal]

god, yeah, plates before helve hammers are a nightmare

i made myself a set of copper chain before my group had a helve hanmer

it was agony

[open wolf]

I made a whole set of iron scale armor pre-helve

Iron scale with a plate helmet

[high narwhal]

or wait i think i did scale and someone else did chain

i definitely made a million scales and chains

[open wolf]

So take the copper and also processing each bloom

[high narwhal]

and it sucked

god

we made our helve before doing iron

that sounds horrendous

[open wolf]

My current shitty armory, my armor has seen lots of use indeed, still only half damaged on the chestpiece and only a bit of damage on the legs and helmet

also those crates are dedicated to red clay usually

the fireclay must keep flowing

[open wolf]

Oh hey, any tips on finding translocators? I have already done the easy thing of exploring every cave in the immediate area around the settlement
Granted, I have not fully explored 2 of these caves because portions of them go deeper into the ground than I am comfortable going

I get just a bit nervous around y50 and below because the monsters get particularly nasty even with full iron armor imo

I had enough fun with this one cave which had tainted/nightmare monsters, a bell, and a sawblade locust and of course I got lost to the point I desperately dug directly to the surface with my remaining ladders and pickaxe, and the cave still had more down to go

[high narwhal]

okay

steel time

complicated-looking structure

and i still need to find fucking gold to repair the forlorn hope set

buddy number one is rocking full blackguard, number two will be rocking full blackguard once we hit the Resonance Archives as i'm told there's a set in there, but god

the gaudy-ass dipshit paladin armor looks too good

i gotta

gold is horrendous though

i've found one whole tiny fucking vein in our group's entire playtime, and we spent it all on black bronze

no fucking clue whether it's just the rarest goddamn thing in the world or whether i don't understand how to look for it

[high narwhal]

oh my fucking god

gold and silver don't ping with a prospectic pick????

i'm going to shit myself

[mossy veldt]

you might be able to node search to see if a quartz deposit has any in idk

but yeah quartz and the stuff that generates within it is only shallow desposits

[high narwhal]

you can node search, but not chunk search, yeah...

i learned this by chunk searching with silver as literally the adjacent block to my source and getting nothing

[civic fjord]

You have to density search for quartz and then hope the quartz vein has it

Thankfully both can appear in the same vein

[mossy veldt]

I don't think you can density earch quartz because it doesn't qualify as a deep ore

despite being able to spawn at any height

[civic fjord]

Apparently gold does show up on the propick

The way it spawns just means it will never be higher than the lowest readings

[ebon plover]

damn. oh no. im sure this forest will be impaced by the removal of a whole puffball and chickens foot.

[crimson gazelle]

me when i pull out the whole mushroom root

(ecological collapse)

(the mushroom root. you know)

bro you're gonna pull out the apple root

[high narwhal]

i just want this hope armor dammit

[open wolf]

You just gotta strip mine quartz deposits

I personally have seen gold readings

I have also observed the resonance archives had 2 gold bars in it

[hazy pier]

bone soil can also get you gold an silver

there is a mod that lets you auto pan that is client side

[open wolf]

It's a crapshoot but underground ruins seem to have all sorts of stuff in them, I found this one place that had like 5 ore loot pots

[civic fjord]

To be clear, this is because the spawning conditions for gold and silver do not fit how the propick behaves

The propick filters out any condition where the ore could just not spawn, which for gold and silver is any block that isn't quartz

The propick also averages out over a radius, which doesn't help

So gold and silver are an extremely small permile of the area even when they are spawning as much as possible, so they only show up as "miniscule" usually

https://old.reddit.com/r/VintageStory/comments/15f5eb9/tips_on_finding_gold/juccnxc/ from here

[open wolf]

There's similarly a sort of inverse problem with Halite because it generates in this rather thin column that extends down to the mantle so the game will give like a 12‰ reading despite that just being the one salt dome because they are so overwhelmingly large (and also the reading is still less helpful than usual because you're trying to find one specific point, rather than hit a ore node in an area with a relative richness)

[high narwhal]

christ

looking for gold

accidentally stumbled onto yet another iron vein

[crimson gazelle]

yeah iron veins are stacked you feel me

shit's bonkles

[open wolf]

There's 2 still-active iron mines in the server I am in

One is closer but drives you crazy for being in it too long and the other is more chill, and I loathe the thought of potentially having to find more veins in the future

luckily I suspect there's still much more iron to go down there for now

it's almost certainly superstition but it also feels like the world below ground has become much more dangerous since we visited the resonance archives, I practically need to be armored to go to the mines now

[high narwhal]

i just learned that you can crafting grid smash ore chunks...

i've been doing this shit manually

[hazy pier]

whats the manual way?

[high narwhal]

smash them on the ground

you place up to twelve of them on a stone surface

or, well, stone-or-at-least-as-solid

and you smash...fucking four at a time

after a couple seconds of smashing

it takes absolutely forever

[high narwhal]

does anyone know what the maximum cooling score of a cellar is?

i wanted to make my walls out of wood but it doesn't provide any

so i'm wondering how much i have to compromise

[hazy pier]

it sets the temp inside to

[high narwhal]

no i know

i'm asking if there's a maximum cooling score

and what it is, i.e. how much non-cooling material i'm allowed to use

[hazy pier]

Im not sure, let me see if i can do some quick testing

i know there is also a light factor

[high narwhal]

yeah, that one's not a problem

it was wholly underground

(although i'll be moving it up several blocks because it was too far underground)

(got spooky cave ambience instead of pleasant surface ambience)

[hazy pier]

the light actully doesnt matter that much as long as its not right next to the door it seems

i made these three and it made little diffrence

[graceful prism]

depth & material are the two important factors

[hazy pier]

ok so the wood/dirt ones is 21 while the stone is 20

wood is 22 actully

once i changed the floors it did make a diffrence

[high narwhal]

oh, the floors?

[high narwhal]

depth absolutely wasn't a relevant factor, i made a second cellar deeper than the first one and it was inferior by like, a solid 30%

because the walls were wood

but thank you for testing, fox

does this just mean that i need a stone floor but the walls are fine?

[hazy pier]

maybe

does temp go lower as you go down then higher?

which i think for cellar i saw doesnt matter sadly

[high narwhal]

not sure, i wasn't checking the temperature, just the final decay multi

[hazy pier]

so you can't put like a fridge on a mountan i think

[crimson gazelle]

i've definitely made an aboveground cellar before but the floor has to be rock too

assuming i'm understanding the question

[hazy pier]

What if secretly floor is the actual important factor

[crimson gazelle]

i remember hearing that thickness of the walls was also important but that might've been lieslop

misinformationslop

fakeslop

[civic fjord]

According to the wiki it isn't based on location or wall thickness. That being said, it's possible the "cooling/non-cooling blocks" includes the volume of the room and not just the area

And air might be non-cooling

...no it's just the walls

            {
                soilTempWeight = 1f;
                // If there's too much skylight, it's less cellar-like
                soilTempWeight -= 0.4f * skyLightProportion;
                // If non-cooling blocks exceed cooling blocks, it's less cellar-like
                soilTempWeight -= 0.5f * GameMath.Clamp((float)room.NonCoolingWallCount / Math.Max(1, room.CoolingWallCount), 0f, 1f);
            }```

This seems to be the code for cellar spoil rate

So it's based on the proportion of non-cooling blocks to cooling blocks and can take up to 50% off the cellar bonus

[crimson gazelle]

ruined

cursed code examination

[civic fjord]

Also having lights in your cellar above light level 12 will warm up your cellar

(and rooms in general, so that might be a strat for greenhouses?)

[crimson gazelle]

i gotta get one of those brain implants that block out code diving

[civic fjord]

Funniest thing about this is that Ice is a non-cooling block technically

[high narwhal]

not having light over 12 means drifter moment, though

[civic fjord]

Drifters are light level 7

So you have some room

[high narwhal]

i don't really know what the deal is, because torches and torch holders emphatically did not work to stop them

in our cellar

[open wolf]

I assume you can still have a bright light in a cellar and just have a sufficient bonus to overcome its detriments?

[civic fjord]

Not really because the bonus caps out

Or, rather, you don't get a cellar bonus as much as you don't get a penalty

The light doesn't modify the cellar change, but the temp that the cellar is trying to move towards effectively

Also the bigger the room, the less impact light has

(It says if it isn't a "small room", whatever that is)

[high narwhal]

how do you even ping for rooms?

[civic fjord]

There's a debug option to see them

I think /debug rooms hi

[high narwhal]

i was directed to debug commands by another person on the server, yeah, but i don't have permission

was hoping there'd be a "legit" way

rip

...okay

can confirm

floors count as walls

for cooling

i just want to make it look nice and cozy :(

[civic fjord]

Cellars are famously uncozy

[high narwhal]

...interesting

hm. not really sure what i want to do with the roof

the rest of it's Good Enough as a start but not great

which makes it tough

i just wanted wood walls :(

[open wolf]

This is the map of the current settlement between all my friends

[high narwhal]

beeg

[open wolf]

To the east there is the massive farm + re-education facility, on the opposite end of the road there is the bee field, which is by one friend's house, the house with the circular feature is the collective house of about 4 members and it houses the windmill, and moiz's house is relatively hidden to the south of that. My own house which also has the smithy is to the left of that knot of paths up toward the north, there's a town hall sort of building being constructed opposite of my house, and to the west of my house is what will be the armory. To the northwest is the furnace complex with the beehive kiln/charcoal furnaces/coke ovens etc, and there's the old farm by that small pond that is now basically derelict

To the north of the town hall is also the mound, which is the beginning structure we all started in, it's literally just a raised dirt structure that is mostly under the ground, there's a identical mound far to the south that was abandoned due to local temporal instability

We can't really get rid of the mound though because a bunch of berry bushes are on it now

It's a nice structure for our server's history anyway

I have yet to get a good picture from high up though because the weather is uncooperative around here

Uh not to yap but there's also smaller details like the storage shed north of the mound and a friend is currently working on 4 large greenhouses on the south portion of the farm, with 2 completed so far

[mossy veldt]

I ended up using my dirt hut has a shed

It was next to water for leather making and then I store peat and firewood there

[ebon plover]

My typical cellar is some form of stone or polished stone. It needs to be uniform or it'll average the weakest insulation included The differences is pretty notable. Oil lamps will also work to keep the light high enough to stop drifters but low enough to not warm it up

Also, verticality is helpful

A cellar can be 7x7x7

So you can fit like two layers of cellar in each cellar with some smart buulding

I typically also keep a root/grain cellar separate from the meat cellar

And the root/grain cellar I allow to look nicer with some wood because they last forever anyway

[crimson gazelle]

you get a stupid amount of grain too

separating it is probably more practical i'm just sooo lazy

[tender peak]

yeah making two three high cellar segments with a platform in the middle for the second floor works real well

I did the same for my kitchen, getting the cellar bonus for the mini storage above the kitchen

only pic I could find in its unfinished state but eh, close enough

[high narwhal]

infinite glory

[hazy pier]

that height bothers me

and then operate industrial equipment

[civic fjord]

Why does a shitty wooden bed you found in a cave let you sleep for longer than a handcrafted linen bed

[high narwhal]

i asked this question literally yesterday lmao

[graceful prism]

it has that good used bed funk

[hazy pier]

because you don't need that extra hour

the bed is cozy enough you dont need it

[amber trench]

it's got ancient mattress spring technology

[open wolf]

Because sleep is when you spend your living hours closest to death and the aged wooden bed has been in the vincinity of death more than the cozy bed

[neat dragon]

Why would you want to sleep more

[crimson gazelle]

A bed is only as good as the hands that craft it

[neat dragon]

I ask this unironically cos in other games with qualities, nice beds let you sleep less for the same gain

I guess this is not the case here?

[amber trench]

sleeping in vanilla does nothing but pass the time so sleeping longer is nice if you want to skip to daylight hours

[neat dragon]

Huh

[amber trench]

depending on the season

[neat dragon]

But then you're gonna miss all the tedious medieval labor you can do by dim firelight

:^)

[amber trench]

vintage story should add more of that

[open wolf]

Winter is genuinely just too much sometimes though

like what do you mean I get daylight only from like 9 to 18

[high narwhal]

[civic fjord]

Wanted to use stone tiles for my flooring, but wasn't sure which to go with. Went searching for Phyllite so I could compare them (except light).
After several hours of searching, I give up, only to learn that the normal and dark stone tiles look almost the same.

[dense saddle]

I already have a giant tannery/barrel thingy on the right side of the picture but maybe some sort of eating place

[ebon plover]

You should probably do something with the hobbit hole cause there's a lot of infrastructure built there and in the village

might also still be grain in there

[dense saddle]

yeah cause you started the construction underneath

[ebon plover]

yeah it started as a big windmill and forge lmao

there mighttt be a tunnel that's leading over but I can't remember if I ever finished it

I think I started but never finished

I just added the extra rooms and second cellar iirc

[dense saddle]

I built (suffered) an underwater tunnel to the forge

I did a little bit in the village itself, mostly getting rid of the old mod blocks but didn't touch it a whole lot

now it just feels like chornobyl a little bit

[ebon plover]

does still at least have the warehouses

Tis a nice village but it does feel like

Abandoned

[dense saddle]

yup they're still there

there's still at least one bucket of mystery goop that I guess I missed

[open wolf]

What flavor is it

[dense saddle]

hmmm

unclear

[ebon plover]

Probably missing_liquid_texture file

[crimson gazelle]

mmm glop

[ebon plover]

Most likely bet is some form of gelatin or bone slop

[open wolf]

It's a barrel of red 40

[dense saddle]

my main contribution post-singleplayer transfer was building a little shipping pier

could have probably gone and found some different wood so the boxes don't blend in

[open wolf]

Friends ingame are very enthused by blueberry juice, they are enthralled by its blue color

They want to turn it to strong wine so it can be mana potions

[dense saddle]

phenomenal views of of the castle

[open wolf]

One block towers disturb me in this game much more than other block sandboxes

Something about this game's environment really makes me care more that a structure actually looks believable

[dense saddle]

yeah

it's the overall attitude of the game

I put more thought into some of them than others

but like

sometimes I get really tired of falling down over and over

[ebon plover]

This is why I build the little watch tower

[open wolf]

I need to build some watch towers and stuff
I can just get so damn saturated in tasks though

Still working on an armory

And then some task or need comes up and there's only so many hands to delegate y'know

[crimson gazelle]

chisel is built into the game and featured heavily in like every official screenshot that i remember

which sort of sets an expectation

i'm really bad at making facades though

[open wolf]

I mostly have made furniture with chisels

[crimson gazelle]

SAME

[open wolf]

Oh, and windows
even though I learned you need to build a window in a very specific way for it to not ruin your insulation in vanilla

And I just have not gotten around to fixing them

[crimson gazelle]

i think the first thing i did when i first got the chisel like six years ago was make a mario

[dense saddle]

sometimes you just have to do some bullshit

[crimson gazelle]

so the holy mario icon is just something i do

[open wolf]

I pray you're using QP's chisel tools

[crimson gazelle]

fuiuuuuck

[dense saddle]

giving stuff texture is very important to making things interesting

[dense saddle]

(:

I didn't know what that was until you mentioned it just now

hang on let me get the roof of my dinner hall
