spent an hour prospecting to find tin then digging and breaking my pickaxe only to find a small cave with tin in it on my way back after getting 2 new copper picksdo I even need a lot of bronze? I have enough for 1400 bronze should I go back to the tin I prospected and get it?
>>719389647also I need fire clay to progress now but I don't know how to find it
>>719390085You need a bronze anvil and a bronze pick to aquire and work iron, so 1000 bronze can be enough. Fire clay can be crafted or found under coal deposits.
>>719390243oh I did not know you can craft it, thank you so muchholy shit the quern is slow
>>719389647Buy an advert
>>719389647You only need enough bronze for an anvil and a pickaxe, after that you can go straight to iron, you should go straight to iron, it's better and more abundant.
>minecraft if it was a shit kitchen sink modpack
>>719391063what is the point of an anvil? wiki says iron can be worked on copper right?
>>719392173No, you need a bronze anvil to work iron, you also need an iron anvil to work steel. You can use a copper hammer, but the anvil has to be made of bronze or iron.
>>719392332ah my bad, thanks anonnow I have an issue, all I can find is rabbits and chickensI really want boars sheep or goats for fat but I can't find them no matter what I doshould I head north or south or something?
>>719392961If you want more animals try to find places with more common rainfall. Boars can become aggressive so they're easy to lead wherever you want. For goats and sheeps I tried to trap them but never succeeded.
>>719393124I found one male boar but no sows :(
oh wow epic the spawn point breaks after several uses? very coo im modding this shit out
>>719394408It's in the world settings. You don't need a mod.
>>719394857oo my bad
chickens not sitting on eggs when spooked is annoying me
>>719395971I think they stop doing that after a few generations? Not sure
>>719395971They stop getting scared by the tenth(?) generation.
>>719396107yes, generation 10...
>>7193962293rd I thought (paternal generation does not matter)
>>719396870no, 3rd allows slaughtereach gen reduced fear range by 10%I also tested and solid walls dont work, they still get spooked
bump
playing this game is making me want to eat pie
>>719389647you should just go ahead and mine all of the tin, its just more metal you can use in the future even if you are in the iron age. also tin by itself is required for later game things like distillery and some end game story stuff
Just installed this. What am I in for?
>>719403290soul and cozyness
I DID ITthe sow kept following the boar
two questions, can i play in a desert? i want to get fucked over by the heat while the sun is up and freeze my ass off at night. Second question when i build a farm and then fuck off for a few month what happens to the plants do they continue to grow if i walk so far that the chunck unloads?
>>719404462Yesthey continue to grow as the game simulates the chunk
>>719389647Just put on Steam devcuckmckike
>>719404462Deserts are awful for planting shit, temps get extremely high and most plants can't survive unless you farm on the top of a mountain where it's colder.
>>719404654cheers>>719404872thats kinda the idea. being hungry, near a heatstroke and generally just fucked sounds like a good time to me. on that note how bad can heat fuck you up since there isnt thirst does your hunger go down faster or something?
>>719405214lol lmao
Any advice on how to capture and breed animals? I have 200+ hours in VS, but I've never bred animals. The closest thing I got to was having chickens lay eggs, but they got killed by thunder strike. Three times.
>>719405214make a greenhouse anon, they're nice
>>719395971 Bro I swear they hear a twig snap across time and suddenly scatter like you threw a bomb. I had a whole coop set up with three nests ready and they just peaced out because I walked too close in armor. They treat you like you’re the final boss. I just started luring them into a 1-block trench pen and sitting there to babysit-works until a drifter decides to ruin your whole bloodline.
>>719405214there is heatstrokeunrelated note
>>719406313you can capture baby animals in the animal traps, a strategy you can use is to trap pigs if they are far from home in a hole by angering them and having them chase you into itbuild a trough and breed them there, once a piglet is born trap it with the trap and bring it homeit takes 25 days for pigs to give birth, but they give birth to like 1-5
>>719406560I'll try. Any advice on not getting killed by thunder?
How can I explore without getting mauled by bears?
>>719391193i kinda like sevtech ages modpack but vintage story looks like it takes some things too far
>>719407527I've never had this happen, but if it's such a big problem build a thunder rod somewhere in the same chunkor build an indoor barn, but make sure it's lit or they will despawn
>>719407932Animals despawn!? I swear there are years old animals around my old bases.
>>719408113if there is no light where they are they despawn
>>719408168If I cover entire forest with a layer of dirt, the bears and wolves will never spawn, right?
>>719408636yes, but why would you do that kek
so got iron, what nou
>>719409582Go to caves and live longer than 20 seconds.
>>719410568ah fuck I only have bear armorthis is going to take ages to make armor
bump 2
pie anyone?
is this a vanilla dungeon?
>>719413473seems to be the work of a mod, or I am too new and never saw it
>>719413473Idk I never played without essential mods.
>>719407932they don't despawn, they just get eaten by wolves if there's not enough light
>>719413473That's the big library from the better ruins mod. Interesting that it gets generated before you do the questlet for the trader.
>>719414232>>719414468figures i was just testing a few new mods and stumbled over it>>719414706thanks
one singular soil block in my greenhouse is not getting registered as a greenhouse part, why? everything else has the +5 temperature thing except this one
>>719415385pic for reference
>>719415485without rhyme or reason it just unfucked itself
>>719393685if you trap the boar sows will show up eventually
>>719416064when did you build that thing? >Every block checks if it’s in a greenhouse after a maximum of 4 in-game hours, give or take a few seconds. Therefore, it might take a little time before the +5°C buff appears on the blocks inside of the structure, and not all blocks will be updated simultaneously.
>>719416489yep, I updated earlier what happened>>719403965
>>719416578at night lolit fixed itself when i went to sleep
if you use slabs to offset a room by half a block it becomes safe during temporal storms because there's only one layer of empty space
>>719418378forgot to add messageWHERE THE FUCK ARE MY RIVERRS AND OCEANS REEE
>>719418378No rivers? Rip
this game needs plant breeding, not only for crops but also for roses and other plants.
>>719419786Maybe after Story Update 5
>>719418470What settings do I need for lots of ocean and rivers?
>>719419786seriouslyimagine breeding hyper productive plants
>>719419827could be really fun creating the perfect garden as some kind of endgame entertainment. pressing and drying plant variants you are particular fond of from a specific year, maybe adding display cases to show them off.
>>719420162that would be so cool, if it must have a deeper impact maybe tie in the lack luster beekeeping mechanics to kill two birds with one stone
>>719420103https://mods.vintagestory.at/rivergen>>719420329maybe add camo or something else that's mechanically useful
>>719420406Drug production could also benefit from this: breed horsetail to make it more effective, or if your soil/climate is poor, to make it more resistant, or if you have excellent conditions for faster growth but use up nutrients more quickly.
>>719421017Super idea!
>>719420406had to recreate my world with other settings. changing them after initial world gen doesnt work
>>719422118Rivers are a game changer. They're like nature's highways.
