[bold bolt]

I might come closer to you at some point

not like right beside but same general area

hunting mod is back on the server let me know your experiences with it

not every animal may be supported some of the mod ones I might have screwed up

| **Realistic drops** | Fatty animals (raccoons) drop more fat; lean ones (wolves) drop less |
| **Fatigue** | Wounded animals tire out and flee more slowly as their health drops |

I also made blood trails last for 10 minutes so tracking/following the injured ones shouldn't be as annoying

I think they lasted for like 20 seconds before

k restarted

it may be fucky just @ me. I'm gonna go chill on the couch and watch random shit for a while

I played with it for a few minutes in a single player creative world and it seems alright

[hearty wing]

I'll have to check later, making dinner rn

[bold bolt]

sounds good

[hearty wing]

@dusty parcel found your hidey spot

[hearty wing]

@bold bolt farms setup for now

[hearty wing]

Halfway to completing the cellar

[hearty wing]

Cellar completed

[hearty wing]

Time to go on a long ass journey

[hearty wing]

Found the boss' lair

Interesting

[hearty wing]

I really need to figure out what is next in step for travel bags

I've found some massive ruins in the desert

[hearty wing]

[dusty parcel]

the fuck did you find?

[hearty wing]

Coal mine

Found some cool shit there

Ngl was pretty dangerous there

Spawned T3 enemies

Died once

Gonna be funny when advion looks at the trail map and goes wtf

[hearty wing]

Fuck I wish I had an iron pick

[dusty parcel]

its a bitch to process meteoric iron anyways

[hearty wing]

Is it?

Haven't tried

Haven't even gotten past copper tbh

[dusty parcel]

you have to build a whole one time use system

[hearty wing]

Bruh I'm struggling where I'm at

Like idk if I'm going to be able to branch into animals

[bold bolt]

Dang

Those structures look neat

[hearty wing]

I came across some interesting ones, but they're in the desert and being in the desert consumes your thirst like no other

[hearty wing]

Did spoilage rates get changed?

[hearty wing]

Could we get the thirst requirements dropped by 25-30%?

Fighting balance between water and food got my bars looking like

[hearty wing]

Yeah I'm not sure I understand prospecting

[bold bolt]

No but because of the 30 day seasons things spoil quickly in relation to that

[bold bolt]

I’ll drop it a little bit but I’d rather we have to deal with thirst more often than hunger at least.

[bold bolt]

I’ll have to do it tomorrow. I forgot and got straight into bed after work and my shower and don’t feel like getting out of bed to go do it. 😔

[hearty wing]

You good

[bold bolt]

Did kou ever join do i need to move them to the player role?

[hearty wing]

Afaik I've been the only player the past few days

[bold bolt]

Ok. I’ll probably play Wednesday. Tomorrow is probably going to suck at work again and I have to stop and get groceries after

[hearty wing]

Bronze age achieved

[dusty parcel]

Gg

[hearty wing]

Think I'll be set for coal for a minute

[hearty wing]

Finally made some chests and cleaned up the yard

So with cave-ins on, Support Beams are a necessity I've found

Nearly died 3 times, started using them and now I'm finding ores

[bold bolt]

Your yard was a mess

I tried to steal your shit

[hearty wing]

Landclaim clutch

[bold bolt]

I really just wanted to idle in your house for night time but I was chilling on your stoop and it was fine

[hearty wing]

Could you not open the doors?

[bold bolt]

Nope

[hearty wing]

I'll see how to add you to use the doors

[bold bolt]

Land claim is super good. Bet it’s a godsend in big servers

[hearty wing]

Your in game name is Advion, yea?

[bold bolt]

Yeah

[bold bolt]

Oh shit

There’s actually just door access that’s great

[hearty wing]

Yee, shit seems goated

[bold bolt]

Really underrated game

[hearty wing]

To give access to shelves and chests it's Use Access

[bold bolt]

People are sleeping on it

They just see Minecraft which is fair

[hearty wing]

It'S tOo CoMpLeX

[bold bolt]

But it’s so much deeper than that

[hearty wing]

Ok dopamine now addict

I enjoy the delayed gratification for having put in the work

[bold bolt]

Yup I really like that I need to put In a little effort and planning

[hearty wing]

Found a bunch more fire clay

And some hotsprings

[hearty wing]

Finally looking like a house now

[hearty wing]

Just found out that when panning, you only need to click once

[bold bolt]

wtf is the eye block thing

[hearty wing]

Bronze statue head

Found it in a castle ruin

[bold bolt]

I dislike that it glows

[hearty wing]

It provides about the same amount of light as an oil lamp

Cost me nothing

[hearty wing]

@dusty parcel I guess feeding livestock is only needed to breed them

[dusty parcel]

i believe you need to wait a certian amount of generations to really benefit from it

[hearty wing]

3 and afaik the only benefit is slight increase to yield and instakill with butcher knife

[dusty parcel]

our saviour mahjong blonski had to deal with it

I love his barn

dude spent ages making it nice

[hearty wing]

Yee I saw that

[dusty parcel]

and then he fucks off and builds a new base elsewhere 😂

[hearty wing]

His grand migration south

[dusty parcel]

yup

I love how the game has like tropic zones

I've just been too god damn busy to play

[hearty wing]

I need to find one

[dusty parcel]

I mean it has tropic zones

like how we have the tropic of cancer and capricorn

[hearty wing]

Yeah

I wanna find them

[dusty parcel]

and the tropic of ur mom

[hearty wing]

That's known as a Black Hole

Might go buy some wolf/hunting dog pups

[hearty wing]

YOOOOOO

If you guys find these, mark them

Free items

[bold bolt]

Some good shit in the pre release stuff. https://info.vintagestory.at/v1dot22#pre4

[hearty wing]

Tweak: Performance - Faster recipe matching with reduced memory usage. Should fix lag spikes on the server and client when crafting or using the handbook
Tweak: Performance: Less CPU cost for unpacking chunks, creating packets etc - mainly affects multiplayer servers
Tweak: Rusty gears now have a pile model that holds up to 64 gears.
Fixed: Animals not breeding```

Berry change gonna be wild

[hearty wing]

Just more worried about the constant fertilization and what fertilizer it'll take

[hearty wing]

Most damaging and attack range having weapon

Most useful

[dusty parcel]

is this for like wild berries too?!?

[hearty wing]

No, but you can't get a berry bush if you destroy it anymore

You gotta get a clipping and fertilize that one

[dusty parcel]

thats kinda weird

fuck that

nup shit game

[hearty wing]

[dusty parcel]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[hearty wing]

Depends on what kind of fertilizer

If it uses bonemeal, that's easy to get

[hearty wing]

Btw Advion, I think it's 30 day months, not seasons 💀

[hearty wing]

Greenhouse up

[bold bolt]

Niceeee

[hearty wing]

Now I'm building a barn to house some rabbits, hopefully pigs and chickem

[hearty wing]

So broody hens are a thing and I guess chickens stay fearful of humans till Gen 10

[bold bolt]

Oh one of our mods probably does something with that

[hearty wing]

Nah apparently that's vanilla

Just gotta give them hella space

[bold bolt]

Oh well we have this on the server. I think it’s this one anyway. https://mods.vintagestory.at/universalhusbandry

[hearty wing]

Yeah I haven't gotten that far, just chickem and Rabbit

[bold bolt]

[Overseer.Tracking] Life closed for Walkingdragon (REJoDYvb+hO4vHILzEB29lit) — cause: Killed by Rhinocerotidae adult female coelodontaantiquitatis.

didn't work out for you did it

wtf

I was doing something you cunt

[hearty wing]

MY ITEMS

💀

[bold bolt]

oh it's doing its scheduled restart

what a dick

[hearty wing]

🇫

[bold bolt]

your stuff should be there still

[hearty wing]

Oh it does stay even after restarts?

[bold bolt]

I would imagine so? I figure it saves the state before it restarts but I guess we will find out

[hearty wing]

Setting a bed outside the ruin just in case kek

[bold bolt]

I can run that stupid command now I guess anyway

[bold bolt]

wtf

[hearty wing]

I may or may not have explored some

@bold bolt have you seen this game?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2776090/Lay_of_the_Land/

Steam

Lay of the Land

Embark on a journey through a dangerous and mysterious world where fires spread and burn, sand collapses, water flows, and pockets of gas suffocate. Get a Lay of the Land, explore the world and use the environment to your advantage.

How will you survive? Will you use powerful melee weapons and armor to charge into combat? Maybe you like to keep…

Release Date

Apr 8, 2026

[hearty wing]

We like to do a bit of exploration

[bold bolt]

Nope but I wishlisted it and will keep an eye on it. Kinda reminds me of teardown just in how it’s built with small voxels

[hearty wing]

Tear Down meets Minecraft

Looks interesting

[bold bolt]

Indeed

[hearty wing]

Almost there to looking like a proper house

Also got some babies to begin the generational detraumitization of wild animals

[bold bolt]

I might get a snack and an edible and hop on for an hour now that I’m home from work. Not gonna go for a drive and do photos tomorrow anymore so fuck it.

[hearty wing]

Why not?

Also if you or @dusty parcel can't survive the winter due to food scarcity, I've got plenty of grains that can be converted into bread

[bold bolt]

I have infinite lives 😬 aka I’ll just make an advion graveyard

Also is it that time already?

[bold bolt]

I say already like you haven’t been playing for 60+ hours

[hearty wing]

Kinda bored while unemployed

[bold bolt]

No judgement here

I’m jealous I wish I had more time to play. I should have been playing when I was in PA staying with the wife. But I was also trying to spend as much time with her as possible.

[hearty wing]

That's perfectly reasonable

[bold bolt]

You play away my friend. I will hop on when I can. I was really hoping one or two more people would play too 😕

There’s like five or six that play VS but apparently don’t want to play on a server

[hearty wing]

Who all plays? Aside from you, Tom and myself?

[bold bolt]

Lasha

Jay

Ummmmmm fuck there are more I’m blanking though

[hearty wing]

@keen whale why you no play VS with us?

[keen whale]

i was going to last weekend

and i forgot

[hearty wing]

[keen whale]

its also big commitment

i tried playing it before

got mad at how long it took to find clay and make shit

[hearty wing]

Ye much bigger than Minecraft

Ngl it do get harder as things become more intricate

Still feeling it out myself, but the delayed gratification for assembling and making everything piece by piece is nice

[bold bolt]

There’s a bunch of surface clay right behind my dirt hut near the spawn

Are you still at your fancy place you gave me door access on or did you move again?

[hearty wing]

Still there and yeah you got door access

Planning on making a dead-drop pantry for you guys

[keen whale]

this weekend i shall try

right now my brain power is dedicated to getting good at factorio

this is another game that requires me to study its wikipedia page

at one point when i was really into minecraft i could probobly tell you literally anything you asked

[hearty wing]

Lmao

I know the feeling

But I also love playing blindly

[keen whale]

try terraria

tell me how that goes

[hearty wing]

No thank you

[bold bolt]

Don't join the server for a few mins I'm trying to get something working

so I got some bad news

Had to ditch the Posts and Beams mod because it's making a huge error wall in the server log because the mod author is a bozo

omg so much less red now

[hearty wing]

Does that include support beams?

[bold bolt]

support beams are vanilla I think it just added some other variants or something

it's causing dozens and dozens of ```

Failed registering block postsandbeams:woodenposttorchholder-...

Exception: Block must have a unique code ... Try full uninstall and reinstall.

like dozens is not accurate it's probably a hundred

[hearty wing]

All good then

Support beams are all that I've cared about thus far

[bold bolt]

https://mods.vintagestory.at/postsandbeams

ok I'm done fucking with it

[keen whale]

i tried searching this website for this "entitycolortint"

no luck

[bold bolt]

hmm wonder if the mod was removed from the mod db

let me get rid of it

[keen whale]

[bold bolt]

ok deleted and restarting

[hearty wing]

I just found out I gotta drop the ceiling on my cellar by 1

💀

[bold bolt]

rip

[hearty wing]

Max size is either 7×7×7 or 9×5×3

I have a 9×5×4

Good thing I got bronze tools now

[keen whale]

here is my super creative name

[bold bolt]

I just changed you to the player group so you can play and build and shit now 🙂

[keen whale]

nice thanks

[bold bolt]

well I don't think you can shit in VS

[hearty wing]

I'll be on in like 3 minutes

[bold bolt]

though there is a mod I think

[hearty wing]

Fertilizer mod

[bold bolt]

https://mods.vintagestory.at/naturescall

oh it's just for pee

[keen whale]

i had to update from that version, so its been a bit since i've played

i forgot everything

[hearty wing]

[bold bolt]

lolol

[hearty wing]

I thought the game auto-updates

[bold bolt]

I haven't gotten to play a lot so I still don't know 90% of the game

the newer versions do I think

not sure 1.20.12 has it yet

[hearty wing]

I've been learning everything blindly

Watched Majong up till just before farming

[keen whale]

nah dw, i had to update to the 1 21 to join the server

but i just took that screenshot

ok, gonna sleep for now cuz its 1 am and i got work at 9

but will play this weekend

[hearty wing]

Now to add Lasha to my door permissions

[bold bolt]

hell yeah

[hearty wing]

@dusty parcel your username in VS is LivitApples, yea?

[dusty parcel]

yes

[hearty wing]

Holy shit, after dropping my cellar ceiling by 1 block

[hearty wing]

@keen whale

[dusty parcel]

😮

[hearty wing]

[hearty wing]

Dead drop pantry is on the side of my house closest to the lake

[bold bolt]

Oooooo

[bold bolt]

your house is neat

I might build on the other side of your lake if that's ok with you?

[hearty wing]

Go for it

[bold bolt]

then I can come crying to you when I need winter help

[hearty wing]

That's why I got greenhouses going

[bold bolt]

and we can stockpile resources

[hearty wing]

But yeah, pick wherever you want. I got 3 properties (house, barn and greenhouse) so I can't expand any further

[bold bolt]

oh it limits you to 3?

[hearty wing]

Yup and 25k total interior volume

[bold bolt]

time to google how to remove limits

I will probably shrink down the volume limit at some point but I changed it to 5mil volume and 20 claims

oh dunno if I mentioned it or you figured it out but I took off the forget all plant info on death. So can retain our mushroom knowledge

[hearty wing]

No actually I didn't

[bold bolt]

https://mods.vintagestory.at/fromgoldencombs

[hearty wing]

@bold bolt figured out how to chisel

Right click to turn the block into a Chiseled item, then F to choose how big you want to chisel. Left click, remove, right click, add. You can't go bigger than x4 8x8x8

[dusty parcel]

might play some more soon, been busy on Xcode making helpful UI 😂

[hearty wing]

https://tenor.com/view/winter-winter-is-coming-snow-gif-26050640

[bold bolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgvzBB_--xM

8 new types of mushrooms wtf

https://www.vintagestory.at/blog.html/news/1220-rc1-fishing-mechanisms-metalworking-and-more-r433/

[hearty wing]

Goated update

[bold bolt]

They add so much every update it's ridiculous

[hearty wing]

We gonna update the MP or keep it running as is for a while?

[bold bolt]

we have too many mods to update

unfortunately

[hearty wing]

Could go modless until they catch up

[bold bolt]

problem is some mods don't work in an existing world they need to be there for creation

[hearty wing]

Fair enough, maybe once we get a decent number of the mods catching up then

[bold bolt]

since it has hit release canidate stage I think a lot of the bigger mods will start to update

once 1.22 hits stable we should be pretty close to being ready

[hearty wing]

That would be nice, the forging mechanics look fun

Improved stability and durability if I do it right? Yes please

[bold bolt]

I wonder how a vanilla start would even look at this point

I haven't played an unmodded world ever

[hearty wing]

Last time I ran one, lots of wolves

[bold bolt]

do you have the 1.22 rc1 installed?

[hearty wing]

Nope

[bold bolt]

I can't open it gives me an error

[hearty wing]

That's the 1.22 RC1?

[bold bolt]

yup

trusting unsigned shit isn't working either so I dunno

I don't care enough to fuck with it I guess

[hearty wing]

Works for me

[bold bolt]

I got it I just had to nuke it through terminal

I just wasn't sure I wanted to bother

[hearty wing]

Na, I'm not gonna run it until we move the server to it

No point imo

[bold bolt]

I wanted to try it for a few see what vanilla is like

[hearty wing]

Makes sense

Btw why is the server down?

[bold bolt]

playing with mod

[hearty wing]

Which one?

[bold bolt]

just taking a look at my tracking one

but I needed to look at the database

[hearty wing]

All good

Do your thing

[bold bolt]

It's up again

I've just been watching old update trailers

[hearty wing]

Btw, juice is OP

replenishes thirst and some hunger

[bold bolt]

I'll have juice in about 5 years

[bold bolt]

dang

[hearty wing]

Chiseling is addicting ngl

[bold bolt]

nice looking good

back to eating I'll hop on sometime soon

so I can make tiny progress and prepare to die

[hearty wing]

Just found a decent location for Hematite (iron)

Might be moving into the iron age sooner than later

[hearty wing]

@bold bolt @dusty parcel it's over bros

[bold bolt]

what does that give you

I don't know metals

[hearty wing]

Iron

[bold bolt]

wtf is bloom though

so you just got basically 50 things of iron that you just have to process?

also how do you make so much damn progress so quickly. nevermind I guess it feels quickly to me because I can only play in small spurts and you're like 70hrs deep at this point

I'm still figuring out how to not burn all my wood in a charcoal pit

[hearty wing]

Not quite sure myself, still finding out myself

But I can show you how charcoal pits work after dinner

[bold bolt]

I've watched videos and know how they should work. Apparently I can't start the fire by hand and it must be lit with a fire pit or whatever

[hearty wing]

Yeah, so basically you pit a 9x1, fill it with firewood, cover every piece except the center

[bold bolt]

I just assumed I could start it with a firestarter or torch and be done with it

[hearty wing]

Make a campfire (1 grass, 4 firewood), light it and place a block of dirt over (one block above) the campfire

So when you go to my house, you'll see a pit with an L shaped dirt placement

I remove two of those dirt blocks, one goes over the pit, the other goes over the empty spot leading into the pit

[hearty wing]

So step 1, self explanitory
Step 2, build a fire, it'll then change the descriptor above
Step 3, ignite it with torch/firestarter
Step 4, using that block you saw on the left, one block above the fire, I attach a dirt block there so that the fire isn't destroyed
Step 5, once there's no more smoke emanating, it's done. Dig it up and get the charcoal

[bold bolt]

yeah I know how to do it I just keep forgetting I can't start it by hand

[hearty wing]

I literally just made my first iron ingot

[bold bolt]

and by the time I realize I've already burned all the wood

[hearty wing]

Yeah you only got 30 in-game minutes to put the block over it

[bold bolt]

for some reason my brain is like oh hey you have a firestarter just use that

and then I go pick berries or some crap and realize you doofus you need to use a campfire

every single time like an idiot

also who the fuck set the restart schedule

[hearty wing]

I usually take everything one step at a time, will literally wait till it's done to do the next step

Makes the process smother imo

[hearty wing]

[bold bolt]

[hearty wing]

So it begins

[bold bolt]

fml I was just thinking about getting on

let me know when it's April

[hearty wing]

Can do

[bold bolt]

I am still going to get on

I can work on my jank house and stuff in between deaths

I just wish I had a torch holder so my torch doesn't run out after 48 hours. Even breaking it and placing it again to reset the timer is annoying

[hearty wing]

If I find some more in some abandoned ruins I'll bring them back for you

I plan on journeying out again

[bold bolt]

I have one in storage at my old dirt box I think

I couldn't figure out how to get a torch into it though

[hearty wing]

Actually I can spare something better for inside your house, a lantern

[bold bolt]

I don't need anything fancy I just need to google how to put a torch in a holder I think cause I'm dum.

[hearty wing]

Right click a lit torch after placing the holder on the wall

Has to be lit

[bold bolt]

maybe I didn't do it when it was lit

[hearty wing]

But I got the makings to get you a torch now

Built it

It's in the dead drop if you want it

[bold bolt]

dang you didn't have to but thank you

[hearty wing]

80hrs 💀

Felt more like 40

[hearty wing]

Made iron parts for a butchering table

Recipe don't work because it only takes copper and bronze bruh

[hearty wing]

Got my butchering corner now

[hearty wing]

@bold bolt I gotchu

[bold bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-shit-funny-gif-10069994533164838604

[hearty wing]

Went NE again to the coal mine to check out the ruins I missed

[hearty wing]

In the dead drop outside my house for ya

[bold bolt]

i appreciate it

I laid down on the couch and that's game over for me today

I love naps

[hearty wing]

Lol all good man

That's why I made the dead drop

[bold bolt]

I'm about to eat ice cream and take another nap

[hearty wing]

https://tenor.com/view/pog-pog-tasty-gootecks-ryan-gutierrez-lick-lips-gif-17626551

[hearty wing]

Finally topped the house

[hearty wing]

Advion, you should take a gander next you're on

[hearty wing]

Good news is I'll never run out of iron

[bold bolt]

Hackermans

[hearty wing]

2 1/2 stacks, about 55 ingots right there

[bold bolt]

Geez

You should be good for a while at least

[hearty wing]

Even if this isn't enough, there's still a massive amount of nuggets down there

This was what I came back with because I forgot a defensive tool and started getting assaulted

[bold bolt]

What’s the date right now in game

And has the snow come

[hearty wing]

I also got plenty of food

[hearty wing]

It looks wintery, but no snow sticking to the ground

[bold bolt]

Nice the autumn changes were pretty nice tbh. I wasn’t expecting the color changes for some reason.

[hearty wing]

Yeah fall colors were nice

[bold bolt]

I guess I wasn’t expecting a gradual change I just thought it would go from normal looking to winter over night.

[hearty wing]

Oh they got frost too

I'll show you in the AM hours

.

and @lunar dock says the game looks ass

[lunar dock]

real

[hearty wing]

Bro just hates the lack of instant dopamine

Can't handle the delayed gratification

[hearty wing]

@bold bolt it's begun

[bold bolt]

I don’t really value their opinion on anything anyway

They all play Roblox they don’t get to say shit

[hearty wing]

Pretty much Iron+

[hearty wing]

I think I'm set for a hot minute with iron

[bold bolt]

lol

[hearty wing]

From your side of the lake Advion, it's too warm to snow

Meanwhile on my side

[bold bolt]

https://www.vintagestory.at/blog.html/news/1220-rc2-fishing-mechanisms-metalworking-and-more-r434/

Damn I picked the good side of the lake clearly

[hearty wing]

It snowed on your side

[bold bolt]

[hearty wing]

Next server reset we do, don't do 30 day months

Shit is too long

Struggling to get the game to progress beyond November currently because I distaste the snow so much

Too cold to go out, nothing much to do at the base

[bold bolt]

lol

[hearty wing]

Died 5 times but the barn population increases

[bold bolt]

I can change the days at any point. It just might mess up the season or something.

[hearty wing]

Nah lets hold of on those changes until we restart for the update

[bold bolt]

I might experiment with another mod. I kinda want to tinker around with the worldgen.

Maybe I’ll do that this weekend with the latest 1.22 version

[hearty wing]

Which mod and what is it you're looking to experiment with?

[bold bolt]

I’m gonna make my own. I want to see what I can do with terrain generation and stuff.

[hearty wing]

Kewl, lemme know how it goes

[hearty wing]

Pretty sure I found you all the copper you'll need close to my greenhouses and outside my claim boundaries

[bold bolt]

Dang

[hearty wing]

Trying to find an aquifer so I can build a well

[hearty wing]

I sorely overthought the wells

Thought you had to prospect to find suitable zones, turns out you can dig like 12 blocks down and drop a well dig zone and just let it be

Granted you do need to prospect the area for stats about what's there, just not tunnel prospecting

[hearty wing]

[hearty wing]

It is now

[hearty wing]

Fuck

I just killed my gen 5 female hare

[bold bolt]

Winter over yet?

[hearty wing]

No it's barely December

[bold bolt]

fuuuu

[hearty wing]

It's gonna be winter for a long time so long as I'm the only one playing

Especially now that my playtime consists of wake up, check animals, sit

[bold bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/eww-chewy-gif-23016979

[hearty wing]

@bold bolt some left over stuff I've upgraded for you, the bench is outside property lines so you're gonna have to break it with an empty backpack slot to grab it

Also not sure how this occurred

[bold bolt]

oooooo

[hearty wing]

Can't really interact with it

[hearty wing]

Ultimate light source get

6 more illumination than the torch, 9 more than the oil lamp

[hearty wing]

[hearty wing]

Well my greenhouses are rendered unusable in December

[bold bolt]

I thought that was one of the draws for greenhouses. Broken?

[hearty wing]

Nah, lowest temp plants can sustain is -12C, greenhouse gives +5C temp

So in the summer you gotta break open a block

[hearty wing]

Pretty sure it's gonna be like this until March

[bold bolt]

😮

well it's a learning experience right

[hearty wing]

Not really, it's a wall I'm about to stop hitting

30 days is way too much

pussy

[hearty wing]

Says teh guy who hasn't played since winter started

My interactions are literally, wake up, check chicken, stand indoors for the rest of the day, drink blueberry juice and sleep

Peak gameplay

[bold bolt]

haha

get some winter clothing and an elk and go do shit

[hearty wing]

That requires leather

Of which there's no animals

[bold bolt]

wrong button

[hearty wing]

button?

[bold bolt]

killed the server and I didn't want to yet

[hearty wing]

Didn't realize it

Was busy AFK-ing the days away

[bold bolt]

ok well drastic changes were made prepare your butts

I updated the smoke mod

you're welcome

[hearty wing]

Changes

[bold bolt]

the smoke is now more realer

months are the default 9 days now. god speed spoilage

[hearty wing]

Seems like there are less smoke particles

[bold bolt]

I actually didn't touch the smoke mod I was just being dum

[hearty wing]

Spoilage is the same

Unless the game hasn't updated the spoilage rates

[bold bolt]

it should when it restarted but maybe it takes an ingame day or something

[hearty wing]

Might

But so far the same rate

[hearty wing]

Btw there's still all that stuff at the dead drop for ya

[hearty wing]

Nah spoilage rate is the same

So food lasts longer now

[hearty wing]

Two german sheperd pups

@bold bolt do we have the Pet AI and Wolf Taming mods?

[bold bolt]

I don’t think we have the wolf one but the cat one is in with the petai

We also have this https://mods.vintagestory.at/universalhusbandry

[hearty wing]

Ahh shieet

Wolves - to be used with mods like Wolf Taming so you can have infinite pet wolves.

Wolf Taming - needs PetAI to function

Might have to kill the pups

[bold bolt]

If you want wolf taming I can install it real quick and restart

Nbd

[hearty wing]

If you don't mind

[bold bolt]

Let me peel my ass off the couch

[hearty wing]

Danke

[bold bolt]

kidding it's already installed

[hearty wing]

So we have wolf taming and PetAI?

Wonder why my cursor goes red on the pups then

[bold bolt]

yes both

this is what mods we have installed currently

[hearty wing]

Huh, I'll have to do a bit more research then

[hearty wing]

Ok I figured out how to work them

Gotta feed the dogs bones/meat

[bold bolt]

toot toot peanut butter

[hearty wing]

Gotta grow them peanuts first

[hearty wing]

@bold bolt https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0h70opzbre81rhjiqrer2/05b54251-9c22-4feb-9c80-ef5eab4aeaac.db?rlkey=geu7h7p9dtjp50yuyn2qavqdp&st=2ytawswr&dl=0

[bold bolt]

server is down for maybe 30 mins

I made the mistake of looking at mod code and deciding I wanted it to be server and client side for map generation right now

I THINK when I set it to client-server it will ask you if you want to download it from the server since it's not on the moddb when you connect

if not I'll throw it on the moddb

[bold bolt]

just doing some tests but damn it's already May on the server?

[hearty wing]

When you reset the time of the year it went from Jan Year 1 to May Year 3

[bold bolt]

oh dang

[bold bolt]

yeah I'm still testing whore

[hearty wing]

Ahh gives stats when you login now

Nice

[bold bolt]

nah it's always had that you just have to /ov me or /ov playername

the only new part is the map cache line and the connected to client line

[hearty wing]

Ohhh, so if I explore it should update that tracker map automatically from everyone?

[bold bolt]

yeah

it sends your map data to the server to be stored and then I manually create the map and breadcrumbs with a python script

I'm just making sure it's actually sending data

I think I need to tweak the interval and amount it sends cause my unsent map data keeps getting larger instead of smaller

I also don't know how to manage a user joining initially with over 500mb of map data which is what I set the cap at for the unsent map data cache

sorry will be working again shortly I hope I'll let you know in here though

I got it to send one batch of map chunks but then it stopped

[hearty wing]

Wonder what's up

[bold bolt]

are you able to see mod drafts? https://mods.vintagestory.at/overseer

[hearty wing]

Nope

[bold bolt]

ok

[hearty wing]

Only Description, download, files

[bold bolt]

well that's what I mean can you see the release file?

If I can just keep it as a draft and not a public mod I can at least just send the link here for now until I've gotten it in a better place for public release

[hearty wing]

I can download it yes

[bold bolt]

sick ok

I can just distribute it that way for us until I'm more comfortable with its state. For now though it doesn't work 😄

testing a new build right now though

ok

I might keep the chat message for now so I can make sure it's working

[bold bolt]

sorry this is taking longer than I hoped

[hearty wing]

Yer fine

[bold bolt]

I got into the weeds

despite my best efforts

[bold bolt]

ok old version is back up on the server

it's going to take me a while to troubleshoot this

restarting and you should be able to join in a few mins

[hearty wing]

Gonna make a sailboat base and a boat

[hearty wing]

Wharf base started

[hearty wing]

21 more square linen and done

[bold bolt]

Nice!

[hearty wing]

Yee

Gonna be able to explore the coastline and see what the continent looks like

[bold bolt]

I love the little building platform/supports lol

[hearty wing]

Yee, gotta start with rollers, which luckily is just firewood

[bold bolt]

That’s fantastic. This game is ridiculous

[hearty wing]

Hardest bits to get is the rope (27=162 cattails) and the linen squares (21=336 flax)

[bold bolt]

The only way it could be better is if the ship actually rolled off it

[hearty wing]

It does

Well it says it does

[hearty wing]

https://youtu.be/GGz765KZSVs?t=213

It does roll into the water

[bold bolt]

wtf!

[hearty wing]

Total expected harvest: ~640 flax fibers

And my flax is at level 6/9

[dusty parcel]

Mahjong’s new video is cool as fuck

Need to make some time to play

[bold bolt]

I watched part of one of their videos last night in bed

[bold bolt]

Oooooh that’s what is in there

I was curious last time I came through. Thank you for the dead drop stuff. It wouldn’t let me pick up the table though

I couldn’t interact with it at all

[hearty wing]

Weird, it's gone

Thought you grabbed it

I can make the stuff and dead drop that and let you assemble it

[bold bolt]

Maybe next time I’m on if you don’t mind. I appreciate it. That was a butcher table?

[hearty wing]

Yeah

[bold bolt]

Maybe Wednesday I’ll hop on for an hour after work or something

[hearty wing]

All good, it'll all be chilling in there for ya

Gotta do something to pass the time for my flax to finish growing anyways

[hearty wing]

In dead drop for ya

[hearty wing]

The sheperds have grown up

[bold bolt]

awwwwww

[hearty wing]

Only need to start getting honses

Enough to make 10L of honey, produces

[hearty wing]

And 5 huge pelts from a European Aurochs

Oh and 6 lumps of fat

[hearty wing]

And she's ready

[round nymph]

how much is this game again?

[hearty wing]

Like $23?

[round nymph]

i did just get paid $220 from mpb

[hearty wing]

https://www.vintagestory.at/store/category/1-game-account-game-servers/

[round nymph]

will consider hopping on

[hearty wing]

$24

[hearty wing]

If you need a place to stay for a bit I can give you access to my house

Can keep you warm and protected from mobs and the winter

[round nymph]

this is like minecraft right

[hearty wing]

Yes, but more interactive

[round nymph]

cool

[hearty wing]

More like survival craft ngl

You gotta manage food and advion added a mod for thirst

Btw if you need help just ask, it's still like Minecraft, but recipes are wildly different

Especially with how certain items are obtained or even made, some require tools in your off-hand or doing things like knapping on the ground

[hearty wing]

All ready for travel

[bold bolt]

Damn looking real nice

I want a grass roof

[hearty wing]

Sod roofs do be looking nice

[bold bolt]

I kinda wish I kept the string mod tbh

[hearty wing]

Kinda like hobbit living

[bold bolt]

I thought it was kinda dumb at first but it makes a lot of sense actually

Also nice boat

[hearty wing]

Thanks, making a trip to this experiment place

[bold bolt]

There used to be a mod that made the winds more random and ship sails interact with it. I think it had issues or maybe didn’t get updated

[hearty wing]

Ahh, yeah I'm good for now

[bold bolt]

This with joy of sailing I think https://mods.vintagestory.at/pelaguswinds

https://mods.vintagestory.at/joyofsailing

[hearty wing]

Having to learn seafaring on top of everything else I'm contending with sounds like a drain

[bold bolt]

lol

It would be better if we had more people and I had more time

But you’re a one man army

[hearty wing]

[bold bolt]

Pretty sure we are all being sent home at 2 tomorrow so I’ll have some time to hop on then

[hearty wing]

2PM?

[bold bolt]

Yeah

So once I get home and shower and find snackies probably closer to 3-3:30

[hearty wing]

Hope to see you then, btw the boat is a two seater unless I add more benches

[bold bolt]

Shit yeah gonna have to find your dock or a place to meet you then

[hearty wing]

Quick travel

Only about 2-3 minutes in-game

[bold bolt]

Ah I just assumed you went like 200 miles away considering your travel history

[hearty wing]

Nah

I'm sure you could find my dock looking at the travel map

[bold bolt]

True

[hearty wing]

Ok, explored enough of the coastline to know where I'm disembarking

[hearty wing]

@bold bolt

It's a dungeon

[bold bolt]

Oh man that’s wicked

[hearty wing]

Gotta make some armor before I go back and a bunch of bandages

Lots of enemies

Trying to make my way to Meteoric plate armor

[hearty wing]

Meteoric Iron Plate Helmet

[hearty wing]

Finally got that lakeside view

[hearty wing]

Chestpiece gonna cost me

38 meteoric ingots

[hearty wing]

@bold bolt added this to the dead drop, I've got a bunch already. You can use it to seal your crocks

[hearty wing]

Full Meteoric Iron Plate Armor

[bold bolt]

shit yeah rc4 already

1.22 is probably not too far away

https://www.vintagestory.at/blog.html/news/1220-rc4-fishing-mechanisms-metalworking-and-more-r436/

[hearty wing]

https://tenor.com/view/moist-critical-gif-18538102

[bold bolt]

I'm a bit disappointed. I can't bring myself to play games at all right now. I end up just watching videos of them being played.

https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageStory/comments/1s0zayy/farseer_fork_chunklod_visual_demo/

[hearty wing]

Sometimes people hit them modes, I know I have recently

[bold bolt]

I think I'll be more inclined to play when 1.22 stable is released

[hearty wing]

Now how performance impacting is this?

[bold bolt]

I dunno, the performance is fine for me considering I'm playing on a macbook.

I basically play at 50% scaling anyway just for the extra performance since it doesn't look too much different

oh you're talking about the Farseer fork thing I linked. I don't know because we have a version now that doesn't seem to be terrible but I've thought about forking it and trying to find ways to make it more optimized also.

[hearty wing]

Ahh

[hearty wing]

Who's rjg?

smh my head @keen whale @dusty parcel

[keen whale]

greg

[bold bolt]

I have begun my worldgen mod

for 1.22

time to see what kind of funky shit I can get it to do with terrain

[hearty wing]

@pulsar quest Smh at you too

[bold bolt]

ideally I just want better transitions between regions/biomes and to get rid of the floating terrain altogether

I wonder what you can change with the weather/climate tho

[bold bolt]

mmmm we are getting closerrrr https://www.vintagestory.at/blog.html/news/1220-rc5-fishing-mechanisms-metalworking-and-more-r437/

wait what that's a god damn train

oh ok it's just someone building stuff not a mod to add trains D:

[hearty wing]

Ngl Vintage Story would be banger if they expanded into early gunpowder/steam tech

[bold bolt]

Do you use immersive 1st person view and are you attached to it if so?

https://mods.vintagestory.at/firearms

[hearty wing]

I use FPV for pretty much 99% of my gametime, yea

[bold bolt]

problem is it needs Overhaul lib mod which UPDATED: Immersive First Person mode: game will switch to regular camera mode when you hold item with animations, you can turn this off in CO settings, but you will not be able to aim with CO melee weapons and ranged weapons that use weapon model to aim, like firearms. After switching between modes from game settings it can take some time for animation system to adjust (settings are checked at some intervals in time, because they are slow to check)

[hearty wing]

Sounds like a hassle

[bold bolt]

I don't even know what this means but yeah

[bold bolt]

mmmm https://mods.vintagestory.at/mapper

Also, 1.22 RC.6 yay

https://mods.vintagestory.at/collodion lol

fuck it both are on the server now. Mapper sounds slightly annoying to get going but being able to share map sounds interesting

[bold bolt]

RC7 damn

[hearty wing]

Why not release?

Sooooon

[bold bolt]

#479736466453561345 message

[bold bolt]

I've got a few updates waiting

[bold bolt]

@hearty wing Check this shit out https://mods.vintagestory.at/ecomachina

[hearty wing]

Oh fuck yea

[bold bolt]

shit son ‪‬Feature: Build a native Apple Silicon version of the game for Mac OS. Should work on any Mac built since 2022, including M1, M2, M3 etc and recent Macbooks. This resolves a large number of issues previously running the Mac Intel build on Apple Silicon and improves performance significantly

[hearty wing]

Holy shit

[bold bolt]

and of course now that I'm home I don't really need to try it cause I can hook up the desktop

I'm putting off a 1.22 start because I want some more of these fucking mods to update

But the Floral Zones and Fauna of the Stone Ages guy is too busy with life to update all of them

[hearty wing]

Well on the good side of things it's there when you're back out and on the road

[bold bolt]

yeah true
