Booba worship resurgence edition:>Game NewsWe thought the update is going to be an industrial update with some random filler "immersion" shit. Turns out its another filler shit with a little bit of industrial mechanics being added.>Server NewsnOG is trucking along. Joyless, Thule, and Edin remain the three major powers in the server. Somehow Edin has become the main spawntown. Development on spawn island continues. People are mapping and building better logistics between towns. The cult of booba has slowly started to return to server culture in Edin thanks to Edin-chan's influence.Joyless is the go-to for a souf experience and Thule is your go-to norf experience once you feel prepared enough to leave spawn or Edin.Will dove finally finish part 2 of the lore videos? Who knows.>/vm/ Vintage Story (nOG or noggers)144.126.153.101:29400A newer server with the culture and people of OG. lightly modded and focused on preserving builds/lasting a long time.

How would you fix the clockmaker class?
>>2197144give him a cheaper recipe for various mechanics (less resin for large gears and so on)boom, now everyone wants to be cockmakeror let him, you know, MAKE CLOCKS
The prospecting pick gameplay loop makes me autistic stim. It's crazy to me that some people hate it.
>>2197144Let them tame more than one locus with the tuning spear and command them. Give them access to more mechanical blueprints.

Hytale looks like ass but the threads made me reinstally Vintage Story. How much has changed in the last year? Haven't played since they added boats
>>2197284Empty lifeless oceans now exist to sail AFK between islands and there are QoL changes and things stolen from mods like 2 seater elk and buckbreaking (if you can even find the fuckers)
>>2197284some lovely QoL changes like not being able to break limestone with a hammer anymore without a mod
>>2197144clockmaker buff coming with industrial update, trust
>>21972841.21 was mostly a DEJANK update. The next update is supposed to add actual features like more smithing mechanics, fishing, mechanical power overhaul, and immersion slop. I am gradually getting more and more worried that rone is losing focus with his game but that I'm holding my breath.
>>2197315industrial update (in a dejank) coming 2032, trust
>>2197331and 1.22 will be another dejank + lovely QoL changes + uncompromisesrone is fully focused! he miiiiight just focus a lil' on one of his 2 other simultaneously developed games, like the generic furry dungeon crawler
>>2197340He should just spend the next 2-4 years knocking out the roadmap (and then some) so he's no longer too embarassed to put the game on steam. Once he does that he can work on the bubsy clone he's always wanted to make.
>start a new default world>instantly get bored because it's the same flat plains and generic generations >try again and mess with the world gen settings>the world is suddenly way more interesting. I love exploring in games and Vintage story has always been a bit dull on that regard but tweaking the world gen has completely changed that. I've found so many cool looking places that it's quite fun just running around. The mountains are bigger, there are more lakes, more complex valleys and canyons. Living on a this big plateau that over looks a multilayered ravine

>>2197376use a modterra prety is nice for interesting terrain.i personally use conquest land overhaul.

>>2197458>>2197470I haven't been able to get it like this in a long time I must've adjusted something in the modconfig because we were getting smoked out

>>2197705you don't like perlin noise?
>>2197708perlin noise is okay for shit that doesn't matter like particle effects or shaders or fish particles, but terrain generation should be done with something that does actually matter. it's okay to use perlin noise to seed the initial tectonic provinces, but everything after that should have more care put into it than fucking octaves.
>>2197705I've had plenty of areas that look like this on my vanilla ass game. Maybe they tweaked it for the rutracker edition?
>>2197705Rone said he doesn't like realistic terrain, so never. I think that's stupid since this is the one game you'd expect to find it in, but I'd hope we'd at least have the option.I think minecraft changing it's worldgen back in the day with the adventure update traumatized rone hard enough to make him associate realistic terrain gen with "boring", but playing VS I'm always pissed at how even with larger landforms scaling you still can't reliably get endless forests, deserts, plains, or mountain ranges. I'd love for a future map on OG to look like an actual world instead of a endless repeating landscape of shattered noise separated by "ocean".
>>2197776He hates realistic terrian but goes to great lengths to fairly accurately emulate realistic geology, fucking why. What is wrong with europe that creates people like this
>>2197776we already know rone is a nigger, what else is new

Another beautiful likeness captured by Nargg. Thank you buddy I made sure the painting will be secure here in Edin
>>2197285I genuinely have no idea where they even spawn. I saw some once. Where I live currently is pretty far north but still temperate. Larches can be seen on hills and such, but it's mostly maples, pines, and oaks. Also really the only berries are cranberries and blueberries.
>>219791619 is what you need for a set of lamdadelta armor...Although I'm still not exactly rich...
>>2197144let them craft arquebus
I can't decide if I should make a temporary base as soon as I find clay.I'm wondering if the earlier you make storage vessels, the better it is for early food management. Maybe start to explore further once I have at least a bowl and a portable cooking pot in my inventory, with maybe one storage vessel ready if you plan to make a gathering outpost that is 2-3 days of walking away.
I'm playing with the Draconis mod. How do you actually find a dragon?
>>2198100Go out to the nearest gravel desert, temperate mountain forest, or frozen peak and look for eggs or cheat one in
>>2198117Do eggs only spawn during world gen or can I occasionally just check one out and see if one spawn?
Twine is so scarce and it's difficult to decide what to spend it on in the early to mid game.>more inventory >a bow>windmill Number 1 is just too tempting.
>>2198234you mine down to the 6x6x3 mantle to become crazy and kill off the forced spawn nightmare bot torns unless they changed the spawn for melees its the 2nd laziest way
>>2198234i always just skip to leather backpacks
>>2198234>>2198288Hide is a reasonable short term alternative as well until leather is ready.
>>2198234Late game flax farms make twine very abundant. I always opt for the inventory space in the early game. You don't really need a lot for a windmill until you reach late game tism' milling in a server with xskills or some shit. Before that, a small pounder and quern mill to get into the steel age is enough.
If multiple people are using the cracked version can they not join eachother? Trying to play with my poorfag friends (and I am also a poorfag)
>>2198350They can. Server just needs to have the authenticate accounts unchecked.
God, I fucking hate Expanded Foods so much.My hearty red meat stew, all sealed in a crock are apparently aging. And because the devs for that mod are fucking retarded they didn't make it so their foods last long inside a crock.This shit lost 75% of it's lifespan before rotting.
>>2198290Yeah, but I mean normally you're saving animal hides for leather and armor. Most people rush copper so they can get a saw since it's so important and aren't invested in doing much else. By the time you have a flax farm, you probably are already more than capable of leather production. I've personally only every skipped straight from baskets to backpacks, with the odd hunters backpack here and there.
>>2198374Me with cured alcohol that becomes useless before it even appreciates to a fine vintage
>>2198374cooked food lasting long in a crock is heckin unrealistic
>do my first cellar>lock myself in to double check if it works>ominous music starts playingright. i am NOT exploring caves anytime soon.
>>2198234I never ever waste twine on bags because if I can make twine, I can make leather, and leather has almost no uses other than making backpacks.
>>2198374That's not a mod issue, that's a vanilla game issue, has been for the past 5 major versions. I bet that cassava still rots within cooked meals, and aging is just a subset of that.
really like how there's a 200 block render difference between low and medium shadows so you either get infinite light leaks or -80 fps when around forests
>>2198746sorry proper shadow occlusion would be too compromising
TELL ME ABOUT MALEFACTOR, WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK?
>>2198905Because he's DL on grindr
>>2198905Perhaps he is wondering why someone would shoot an elk before throwing him off of a cliff.
Do berry bushes grow better on more fertile soil?
Now that I'm more used to fight the wildlife and wolves by just throwing spears at them, I can see why you all said food wasn't an issue in the game. The combo of cooking and making a cellar really is a game changer.I guess farming for grains due to their extremely long preservation is probably the next move to prepare for winter later.
>>2198992>The fertility of the soil they are placed on has no impact on the bush's ability to grow and produce berries>>2198993Now you must choose my son, flaxen sloppa or a grain of honor?
>>2198992no, they grow on sand too.too high/low temperature matters though.
This ever happen to you?(also how do I heal early game)
>>2198905Cold sores
>>2199039Yes, this happened literally on my 2nd run of the game. It taught me that you can't see shit most of the time, you never know what could be lurking behind those bushes.And I swear I saw a wolf immediately go down a block to hide from my view one time. Probably a coincidence but it really made me wonder if the AI was smart enough to plan for an ambush.
>>2198993>prepare for winter later.You fool, start preparing for winter now.
>>2199039you don't, either get poultice and reeds or you get fuckedalways have ladders on you
>>2199083>you can just craft ladders with sticks in the stone ageI swear I keep learning new tricks only because of this thread
>>2199114I get rope ladders if I can from chopping a bunch of vines since it's cheaper and faster (depending entirely on enviroment, really good in tropics) but 7 sticks is all you need to get our of devil's anus
>>2198993>prepare for winter laterShould we tell him, or let him experience his folly?
>>2199114Is it even a trick when the in-game wiki tells you as such?
>>2199220Kind of? Pretty easy to read past passage, not check the book etc.>t. fool that red the progression guide and still didn't realize that surface ores indicate a vein
>>2199220And to add to what was said above, mostly expectations. People and even the guide hints that you should get out of stone age because there's not "much you can do", but after looking around you can actually build a whole base while staying there.>have materials for an advanced house, packed dirt, leveled up packed dirt, wood, cobblestones, stairs, slabs...>you can make quite a lot of stuff with just dry grass and sticks>you can fight off anything with just spears>clay and farming can last you for a long while
>>2199257Except it's almost more work to stay in the stone age given that resource gathering with copper tools is just so much faster, and the barrier of entry isn't even that high. Once you have a pick you can just go murder a few marked copper nodes and suddenly you have an anvil.
>>2199379>Once you have a pickDon't know, never had any luck finding any in 3 different worlds. I saw maybe 4~5 bits once and that's it.
>>2199396That's incredibly strange if you seriously weren't doing anything wrong and just playing on default. I've never not been able to find copper.
I'm thinking of getting full bronze chainmail before going for the resonance archives.Is that overkill? Underkill?I've never done it before.
>>2199447If you have enough bronze to consider chainmail just go get iron and save the bronze for other shit
>>2199455Ah yeah true, I forgot I could easily make a bronze anvil and just move onto iron.I guess I'll just do that.

Total newb here. Trying to create an ok world for my first run Should I try to debug this or let it be? The world generates and saves fine after it. I also have Rivers, Better Ruins, Better Traders and Farseer installedAnd how long should seasons last? For some reason default 9 days seem too short
>>2199552>Should I try to debug this or let it be?If it's only showing up in the logs just ignore that shit
>>2199552For your first run 11 day months or longer is normal. 11 days should give you plenty of time to prepare.
>>2199556>only showing up in the logsYe. Thanks, I'll ignore it
Interesting mod but who the fuck is going to use this
>>2199565Who indeed?
Would disabling copper and tin surface spawns be effective at prolonging the unga bunga stage, or would panning be still too good? It's only 40 nugs, and panning can get you that in like an hour of panning or less. You might have to mod panning gains to be less to prevent speedrunning.The stone age is honestly the funnest part of the game, and the fact that you *can* do animal husbandry (or should be able to; nigga just chisel out a dugout log for a feeding trough and make a bucket out of fired clay) and especially tree husbandry and extensive farming, it should naturally come before steel. It just doesn't make sense that goats, milk, and fucking apples are the end game and steel is effectively the easy part since you don't have to wait.
>>2199635>and panning can get you that in like an hour of panning or lessI cannot fathom how you people can stand there and do the most boring thing for an hour straight. Panning fucking sucks
>>2199697https://mods.vintagestory.at/autopanningTrannymod, that's how.

i wish VS had TFC's world gen
Why are ore deposits called autism names? And why doesn't the wiki just let me control f the translation? Nah. Why stop there? Why not call chickens gallus gallus domesticus? Or maybe oak trees Fagaceae? Or perhaps wheat should be referred to as triticum aestivum?
>>2199934Xray mod but also for entities
>>2199978Feels kinda cheaty. Plus I'm playing on a server, I think that is banned there.
>>2199983>Feels kinda cheatyIt is.>>2199983>Plus I'm playing on a serverI don't believe it's possible for them to stop you.
>>2199823On my current world I only found marble. My first time seeing it too.
>>2199635My only grip against that is like you mentioned having a saw is mandatory. It's the number one and two reason I look to get SOME metal early game because planks just open up a lot of the game.
>>2200065like what?
>>2200084Buckets, for one. A door that doesn't want you to pull your teeth out. Crates. Sod roofing? I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.
>>2200033I don't think I'm doing this right. I even set the scan radius to 3000 blocks. Am I just really unlucky and nothing spawned in the world?

Jesus christ predator animals do not act rationally. Wolves and bears would NOT pursue a human for a mile straight.
>>2200220i mean you also couldn't outrun a bear or wolf as a human
>>2200220Seraph meat is highly enticing to the wildlife
>>2200106>>2200162It's worth noting that eggs are entities, not blocks so no matter what you set the scan range to it can only scan the roughly 150 block radius sphere around you in which entities are loaded, which is impossible to change as far as I can tell as render range has no effect on it.
>>2200109>>open task manager and separate the cpu affinities of the game and serverShit that's a good idea
>>2200111I get those problems even though I have a 3090 i9. It is random.
>>2200220>when the wildlife is more dangerous than the eldritch horrorsI will always remember how I threw a stone at a rabbit and saw it speedhack its way over a lake.I've also managed to dodge attacks from the drifters but none from the wolves. They literally just aimbot-jump their bite on you it seems. Also fuck bears I always keep a minimum of 30 blocks safety distance from them.
>>2200245>Also fuck bears I always keep a minimum of 30 blocks safety distance from them.For me, if I can see a bear at all, I'm too close.
What does it mean when your prospecting pick keeps telling you huge deposit detected of the thing you want in every direction + misc low detections of things you dont care about, and you find the low detection while still not coming across the massive detection? I guess I keep poking into different, but close, veins of the thing while barely missing them?
>>2200306Well it's not exactly hard. It only find veins so many blocks to any direction. Dig one direction pick range and take a new reading, if it's worse go back and take another way.
What's the lingering time limit for a closed room? For example I seal my cellar with a hay block, when I destroy it how many times do I have to close it before the cellar isn't recognized anymore?
>>2200065If I mod it anyway, I'd add a "primitive plank" recipe which lets you carve shitty planks out of wood, inefficiently, using something like a knife + hammering tool (rocks will do). Like the Card Survival method of making planks. It's criminal that you can't make dugouts or other lumber craft in a "survival" game. You don't need a fucking saw to make a primitive vessel for holding water.>>2200220Nooooooo actually realistic animals would be too compromising! Their sole purpose in life is to hunt you down and kill you because... because it JUST IS, okay!? The Long Dark has it so we have to have it too!
>>2200328A room never "wears out" like that.
>>2197144the real question is how in the ever living fuck you fix tailorclockmaker at the very least has locusts, movement speed, and translocator costsbut tailor's just fucked.>unique craftable is clothing, which isnt much of a draw on its own compared to the items of other classes (and on singleplayer/small servers you probably shouldnt have class exclusive recipes anyways. especially with how some mods treat tailoring kits)>sole buff is armor durability. which is already quite high without the +10%>debuffs hit ever major role except blacksmithing and cooking (foraging, mining, fighting, butchering, and farming)
>>2200349give it a hunger reduction
>>2200349yeah +10% armor durability is completely useless, it'd still be useless even if it were +1000%, and tailor's only practical role in the game is making tailored gambytailor should get a twine efficiency bonus like from that one clothing mod. another stolen idea, but using 6 fibers + spindle to make 2 twine instead of 4 for 1 twine is pretty big.
>>2200349At least give the fucking tailor the ability to craft majority of the uncraftable clothing.
>>2200118>>2200131>you have to do this every time you boot them up again afaikyou can setup a shortcut to do it for you.the trick is to set it to launch command line (cmd /c start "parent folder for your target" /affinity <cores> <pathway>)for example i have this as my steam shortcut,>cmd /c start "Steam" /affinity FE "D:\Steam\steam.exe"this doesnt launch steam directly, but it launches steam through command line and then sets it to use every core except the first. this in turn is also applied to all the games launched through steam.for steam in particular i need "Steam" in quotations and im not sure why. removing it just breaks the command.for defining core usage, a hex value is used. each character is for a group of four cores>hex is a 16 number scale, so 0123456789ABCDEF>core 1 in the group = +1, core 2 = +2, core 3 = +4, core 4 = +8cores 1,2, and 4 in a group would be B for example. no cores in a group is 0.the first cores are at the end of the value, not the start.so 000F would be for a 16 core CPU, and it would only use the first four cores (0-3). while 8000 would use only the very last core (15)
>>2200413forgot to remove the "not sure why", part cause i figured that out.anyways there's more, suppose you also want to use --datapath (like me because the last thing i need is more crap on my C drive)the best way i've got is to make your affinity shortcut target a .bat with your --datapath shortcut pasted in there but this wont close command lineif you want that just add exit to the end and start "" to the front, this'll make command line close as soon as it pops up.all together it'll be something like>shortcut>cmd /c start "parent folder for .bat" /affinity <cores> "pathway to .bat">batch file>start "" "pathway to executable" --datapath="pathway to data folder" exit

Hello, am a new playerAm I gonna be stuck making pit kilns for the rest of my life or do I eventually unlock a more sophisticated working station that gets the same job done (like a brick kiln, for example)?
>>2200446yeah, you can build a clay furnace. it's a lot of work and you'll still be stuck firing it with loads of wood, but at least it saves you from gathering grass. but pit kilns are still the only option if you just want one block done quickly, unless you like wasting a lot of wood.
i wanna play again but all i want to do is just chisel stuff for people and i dont want to bother with survival mechanics anymore

I hear this game either "takes too long" to do anything or "everything falls apart" and requires constant maintenance. To what degree is this true? Like going from nothing to a fully furnished and decorated house/settlement, you can't just sit in a comfy armchair and admire your knick-knacks and in-game hobbies? And have to constantly repair or maintain things?
>>2201239what? literally nothing falls apart and that's a problem. also it doesn't take long at all.
>>2201239Huh, you must be mistaking VS for another game
Honestly, with how central the immersive survival aspects are and how much focus there is on food preservation and cultivation, it's strange that the actual hunger and health systems are so basic.It's a simple "it's a bar that goes down and if it's 0 you take damage". There are no stages of hunger/satiety. No weight gain or loss nor even any bonus to food types. No injury mechanics, just a basic healthbar,

So I play on a server with family members where a vast majority of them don't want any combat. But there are still a few of us who likes combat. As a compromise we kept the lore enemies on, but turned off temporal stability, temporal storms, and made it so enemies only spawn in light level 2 and lower.What're my options of farming rusty gears? I can't make myself go crazy underground because no temporal stability to make me crazy and I can't farm them during temporal storms because that's turned off. Am I just stuck with trading?

>>2201520Keep a spare lit torch in inventory, they don't go out in water.
>>2201540Now that you mention it, I don't know. Reze looks much different in that scene in the movie. I would like to know as well if you find out where it's from
>>2201281True. VS' is all over the place with its design choices. I kinda want to see a game that one ups VS in terms of giga autism. Like literally everything tries to be as realistic as possible, while still being a silly survival crafting voxel game.
>>2201281They could likely come up with something in the span of an update but the pace of updates are generally slow and focus is kaleidoscopic. Not Zomboid slow or Minecraft kaleidoscopic, but still.Same deal with rivers, enemy spawn logic, and... honestly, world generation at large.
>>2201605Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead is probably my favorite survival game. It has more depth than VS but it's not a voxel game.CDDA and VS are two of my favorite survival games so far. Nothing else really comes close.
>>2201631Long ago I loved CDDA, then everything changed when the realism troons attacked only Kevin the master of autism could stop them but when CDDA needed him the most he had a meltdown. Ever since that day they removed more and more features and have splintered the community so now all the features I love are split between branches.
Funny mod
>>2201554I did think about adding this, but the kids in the server gets scared when the enemy that crawls spawns. So we just opted for enemies to only spawn when it's really dark in caves.
right clicked the crash tub again award
been playin hytale and its honestly kinda mid.Hytale walked so Vintage Story could run
>>2201790Only thing it does better is combat. It's more action-y. But VS combat with the overhaul mod isn't half bad either.
>>2201540>>2201591It's Reze, but it's a redraw from someone based on that one manga/movie scene.
>>2201790>>2201792I think it's alright at the niche it's going for and has a lot of potential, but right now it's empty. I'm interested in the whole worldgen update they're working on and, if their momentum of updates actually foster a self-sustaining community, I might try to learn modding with that game. I'm at that stage of coding experience where I generally get syntax, language features, and a few data structures and algorithms in a vacuum but get stuck when asked to do a project. I initially tried with VS but I failed hard.
Vintage Story needs more horror
Frankly I think the game should've went more naturalist/mythological with it's enemies. The "horrors" are boring literally no one cares for them. They should've done stuff like giant lions and dinosaursThe most "iconic" enemy in the game is still just bears. Eldritch shit is just not that interesting when you do actually have to look and interact with it

>>2201934the only way a mob opened your door is if you had some mod installed
>>2201942nah, mobs can open doors in vanilla for a while now.
>>2201930yeah if the monsters were rare but large and horrifying it'd hit better. they're all just nuisances right now besides bells. Gimme a tall strider like enemy made of amalgamated rot monster bodies.
>>2201941I treated the game like DF where doors and raised bridges are pure magicCan I sleep through night attacks? Do mobs despawn in the morning? Sniper one persisted during the day
>>2201943ive never had a mob open a door of mine before so i doubt it
>>2197776>no realismIs this why there's death pits every hundred yards?

>>2202007It's yards in my game. :)
>>2197776>>2197789Wait really? He said they aren't gonna do realistic world gen? That sucks. Right now the world map looks like connective tissue under a microscope.
Building with cobblestone seems like a pain in the ass. What do people usually build with? Just wood?
>>2202086Wattle, cobble, ashlar, wood. Let me guess, you NEED more?
>>2202086I wouldn't say so. It's just clay and stone, right? The moment you have the means to mine, it solves itself.
>>2202093You have to mine so much cobble and clay to get such a small amount of cobble.
Is the optimal fireclay meta to craft it? Or is it better to prospect for coal and look for it that way? I think I'm gonna need a shitload of it because fireclay roofing matches claystone cobble and that's after factoring in the bloomery generation.

>>2201790Amusingly the whole reason why I got into Vintage is Hytale. Hytale might become good later but right now it's just too barebone.

>>2202134glad you're enjoying the game anon
>>2202387Fuck hunting in UnReal World is so autistically real.
>>2202435the only unrealistic part of it is how fucking good dogs are at hunting, they don't even need training and they can harry deer for hours and maul the fuck out of any small wildlife you point them at telepathicallynot that a good hunting dog couldn't do that, but all of them are so good, so the #1 thing you can do for yourself when hunting is to get a dog or two and you'll never starve again
>172 mods>...after having trimmed it down from 200+Fuck me I have a problem
Yeah.. I can understand why you need to rush copper now. Being blindsided by a quiet bear in stone age and 2 tapped is not challenging, it's just annoying.
>>2202478why would you need copper to dig a fucking pit?
>>2202479>blindsidedSorry but I don't think making a pit every 20 blocks of exploration is sustainable.
>>2202478staying in the stone age is really just creating an extensive mass of traps and slip thrus so that anything larger than you gets hung up and stuck where you can spear it to deathI don't make the rules its just the only way you can reliably escape the hunter killer drone predators
>>2202480sounds like you're a pitlet that can't dig a pit while attacked. skill issue.
>>2202481>>2202483FINE. You want me to aggressively make pits while exploring? I'll fucking make pits while exploring. You did this.
>>2202492thank me neverdon't forget to make them at least 3 deep for bears otherwise they'll climb right out
>>2202496>literally right now>starts knapping for the shovel>get blindsided and killedAlright. This is not an exploration game, right now I've decided that it's a hunting game. And it's bear season.
>>2202519and by killing bears you let them respawn.pits.
>>2202519and wipe that piss off your map nigga that shit's embarrassing
>>2202099But you get like a billion stone and clay per location of the resource. If you want to see some bullshit try building with plaster.
>make folder in VS file called abc>encrypt and extract files into it>keep getting 'abc playback finished' without the song playinghelp me im retarded
>>2202612As long as they're extracted correctly it should be fine. There are a few TFL abcs that just suck or are broken but the majority of the thousands in there should work. Although a lot of the split abcs that have titles like TFL_QueenofHollywood-Flute2 are only part of the full track and need the rest of the song to be played by other players or music boxes in a band so they may appear to be mostly silent

Just got this game. Can I play as a:>male>human>white skin>blonde hair, or black>knight class?
>>2204046Get a mod or two and yes
>>2204046you can without mods.
Who is playing the hydrate mod?Anyone got any tips on traveling far distances? Do I just stop by every water source I go to refill my water?
>>2204113buckets of water
>>2204117Slows you down a fuck ton though.
>>2204123do the jugs stack?
>>2204138Jugs also weigh you down.Only thing I can think of is to make little outposts with a well in it every couple thousand blocks.
>>2204046Yes to all of thoseNo mods needed as well
I like how this game is trans inclusive in a way that midwit chuds fail to notice. AAA devs could learn a thing or two from this. Then again, they probably do what they do to enrage the /v/ demographic.
>>2204046well technically you won't be human you'll be a 8 foot tall Nephilim fucker but the rest is all available in character creation yeah. Blackguard is the class you're looking for.
>>2204113either you carry a container with only 4L of well water and make due with that, or change the mod settings to not slow you down when carrying a bucket full.
>>2204216>8 foot tall nephilimI fucken knew there was something wrong with how lanky the player character is
>>2204227yep traders are normal humans and look like dwarves next to you.
>>2204046>>humanNot technically, but other than just being similar to irl hungry skeletons for all intents and purposes you're human. You being NotHuman™ is just a dumbass lore justification for why you can respawn. Everything else is achievable without mods.
>>2204123I turned that shit off, it's fucking stupid. I can see an argument for carrying a full keg or tun, but a bucket is dumb.
How do I get started with modding the game? I wanna make an armor set that's more progression-sensible than gambeson and leather but not as overkill in terms of protection as metal armor
>>2204244Have you tried running at full speed while holding a full bucket of water? You ain't doing that, chief.
>>2204275>fall over>drop 18 lit torches>445 logs>12 chalk stone>3/4 of a pie>my knife>my whistle>a full guitar>the 3L of water in my water pail fall outFUCK FUCK
>>2204275If you want to go that route, can you run while carrying several cubic kilometers of a quarry in your pocket? I don't think so. It's simply an arbitrary balancing decision.
when are they going to add ice cream to VS?
Do you guys prefer to build big bases that has all your stuff in it or do you guys like to make small houses and buildings with whatever you need?Like, do you make a separate building for smithing and another building for cooking and another for leather making, etc? Or do you make one big base that has everything in it, including your greenhouses and your farm animals, etc?
>>2204368I do the latter, and then never move in to any of them and just leave all my shit spread out over the lawn
>>2204368I was considering building another building once I started running out of space, but I decided instead to just make an extension of my main house.I don't want to have to go outside to access something from the other building, in case of a temporal storm or something.I might make a greenhouse a separate building when I get around to that though.
how do I roof this

>>2204368Big bases because it's more convenient. The latter is more soulful though
>>2204368A small house that I keep expanding on with a smithy and a leatherworking station and an underground cellar and a pond right next to it with all my crops growing on it
>>2204046>knightI don't know. Melee sounds like a terrible idea for this game.
Another question, do you guys build underground basements or something or try to keep everything above ground?

How do you guys mine cobblestone?Just pick an area and decimate it and make the area ugly as fuck?orGo deep underground and mine there so at least the big ugly hole is covered?I like building with shale but it's a top forming rock layer so it's hard finding a decent spot to mine it without making it look ugly. But if I dig a big deeper and mine underground for it then stuff spawns inside unless I spam light sources. I have the same problem when mining granite. I like building with it but since it's deep underground I have to spam light sources everywhere so nothing spawns near me.
>settle at a place where the rain is "almost always">scan the place for nearby resources, close to all clay types, a couple of spots with resin, different wood types, a lot of water so a lot of fish etc>all while setting up the new base and moving stuff over it's raining, so much so that's a hassle to build shit because of torches just to poof>finally move everything over>the second I pop a plant on the ground the rain stopsIt's been about 30 days without a single droplet of rain honestly fuck this game>>2205480You can always cover the hole with dirt and wait for grass to grow.
>>2205537Same here. Settled in an area with an Almost Always rain. Hardly rained at all from summer to fall. However winter was bad where it kept snowing every day.
>>2204858I only put food below ground for obvious reasons.>>2205480It depends, sometimes I'll just go far away and strip mine the countryside, other times if I already have a bore hole nearby I'll just make my own cavern.

barm, i went to thule and it looked like a nigger crack house. cleaned it up a bunch, cleaned out all the rot, got a flax harvest in, culled/fed the animals, cleaned up kitchen organized some tools, got rid of a bunch of garbage all over the place. i might spend some time on the storage trunks too, try to clean it up, looks decent now. who built the villa? looks bretty gud
>>2205912butchering would be nice, but would have to cut dinosaurs and critter pack i think as they're not compatible.EF&ACA is cool even if some/most of it was disabled due to crashing concerns. Even just dried fruit/syrup, expanded vinegar, bottles, cauldron, and spiles would be cool.Toolsmith looks neat but i havent used it and i dunno if it will work in the pack.Novelty! looks good.Cannibalism looks like a good meme mod and is compatible with butchering. We can peel the skin off Rone's villagers.If you're looking for things to cut i suggest Salty´s Falling Trees as it's anti QoL, and if nobody is too attached rustbound magic as it clutters up storage spawns annoying mobs and barely offers anything worth grinding it for.

>>2206538>I don't want to fucking travel thousands of blocks south to find some.Easy solution, just spawn south. Also you need a mod at all in order to process papyrus into parchment, in vanilla it only comes from flax fiber pulp or hides.

Anyone know how to make a Gothic Cathedral? Or should I just go to the Minecraft thread for building advice? This is not the full thing, it's just a scaled down model of what I want to make, which is why the whole thing looks so scuffed, but I wanted to ask if you guys caught anything I'm missing that they usually have.

Big discoveries being made on nOG
>>2206054Experiencing the winter once is fine, at least if you have things to do like chiseling or building. I always either move south or just start the game in a warm climate. The default winter is way too boring and long for me. The default start is somewhere around 47 latitude, i prefer something around 30. You can check your latitude with the command /wgen pos latitudeIf you kept the default setting of 100k blocks pole to equator distance you have a decent journey ahead of you. I would get some temporal gears first to set a few waypoints on your journey so you don't spawn all the way back in 0,0 if you die.
>>2206689install better ruins and force the Grand Cathedral to spawn in front of you. Big thing is scale so you can do buttresses and domes without too much chiseling.
>pickling takes 336 hours L O LThere is 0 realism in this game. It's just autism pretending to be realistic.
>>2207258I mean, if you're pickling then food likely isn't a problem anyways. It's a luxury activity.
>>2207258People who pretends the game is about realism have always been retarded to be honest, but that's how their whole official board people are thinking so best to treat it as an echo chamber.That being said everything in this game is slow as fuck so yes, you have to be autistic to play this game or even be in this thread. That includes me.
>>2207258well, how does pickling work then, you fucking nerd?
Haven't played for months but that Draconis mod is tempting me to come back. It should be no problem to add to a previously made old save right?
>>2207289>roughly chop onions>throw in a mason jar with spices (optional)>pour in hot vinegar >close>let it sit over night>done
>>2207264>why worry about SILLY MECHANIC your already a god at that point, or somethingYou're actually being honest about what the game is here. This is what the game should be advertised as: SILLY MECHANIC minecraft. Not REALISTIC minecraft.
>>2207294Yeah. You just gotta travel to new chunks for the eggs to spawn.They are extremely rare though. I had to travel 50k on a new save to find one egg. Best to just spawn one in.
>>2207295Erm that's not really pickledReal picklers don't use hot vinegar to accelerate the process Also that was invented by hipsters who only wanted to make quick flavor shit and not preserving the food
>>2207304Damn, that's a crazy grind. They are dragons, unlimited free flight should be hard to get I guess.
>>2207310I guess. But when you play new saves often some people just don't want to do that grind again. Like me. Usually in my server after 2 years if no one has found an egg I would just spawn one in. Then let the kids use it to find more eggs. Once they get theirs I kill the spawned in dragon.

I finally found some tin but it's located in an evil ass rape cave full of locusts and rusted metal spikes. How am I supposed to tackle something like this? I brought my best armor (a bear suit), a shield, a copper spear, all my poultice and plenty of food but I still ran out of steam fighting everything that came at me and could never really find a moment to mine the tin. I'm pretty new to the game (less than 50 hours played) so I don't really know what's the go-to strategy here
>>2207502Go around them. You have a pickaxe, dig a hole from a safe area to the tin.
>>2207502Just run in and make a cuck box to mine in safety, or tunnel in from behind it somewhere
>>2207502ignore the cuck options.on the roof of that cave is locust spawners, focus on destroying those. locusts drop nothing so there's no real reason to keep spawners around
>>2207511This is the answer I was looking for, thank youIs there perhaps a way to stop the drifters from spawning in as well? they're pretty annoying
>>2207515Your only option is light.
>>2207515If you can't even fight the locuts you aren't going to last long enough to break the spawners.
>>2207515in short, no. its not like minecraft where you can place torches as as a bread crumb trail and spawn protector>oil lamps and candles have been nerfed into oblivion and im pretty sure they dont even protect their own block anymore>standalone torches protect a little bit of space around them, but they burn out after two in game days>torch holders are rare enough to not be an option (and you want the few you find next to firepits and pit kilns)>lanterns protect a good area but each one costs two ingots, so spamming them in caves is a bad idea unless you have a mountain of copper and beeswax (bee farming on its own is ridiculously expensive. if you get into that use https://mods.vintagestory.at/fromgoldencombs)use https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/32420 to get a good feel of what protects what
>>2207535enemies don't spawn on chiseled blocks from what i was told.
>>2207538chiseled blocks are expensive in their own way. if you do that for every single ground block in a cave and around your base you're going to run ram usage up.
>>2207541>m-muh ramGood thing I have a dedicated machine to host my VS server. I gave it 32GB of RAM and it still barely uses half. And that's on a world that's at least 4+ years now. If I ever need more then I can always just add more. My server has 512GB of RAM, I'm good on that front.
>>2207546good for you mr. inheritance
>>2207360sneezer BTFO! chuds lost
>>2207546now you know, are you going to spam click the blocks instead of the classic grass firestarter tech
>>2207538Enemies will spawn in thin air if there are no available spawn positions, you used to be able to prevent spawns by putting down rocks on the floor but that made ron the big mad that people were cheesing his hecking loreslop
The key point is, if your idea is to basically fight the eldritch horrors every-time you want to mine you are playing the game wrong. Yes you can try to act like you're a chad but this is just an extremely inefficient way to tackle things in a game purely design around high-risk shit-rewards. You want to save time and take the easy way out whenever possible.
>>2197026>>2197030>>2197034I don't know who this is, but I'm gonna hug her
>>2207594It's reasonable to fight once he's got bronze+ but at copper and with nothing but shit armor he'll get torn to shreds in short order.
>>2207502Locusts and their spawners are soooo poorly designed. Literally like angsty 12 year kaizo mario level maker tier game design. You can kill 80 of them in a 30 seconds and they will just keep spawning. Once you find out they are poorly designed and just want to leave? You walk on a rusty nail and die.
How do I make the game stop hitching when I put a tool into the crafting gridHardmode: without turning off all mods
>>2207683Play a video on a browser tab
>>2207715I have no idea why this shit works but it works.This is why I tend to have a long video playing on my second monitor. Recently I started watching VODs of vtubers I never heard of.
>https://mods.vintagestory.at/mistsofstabilityNew client mod, stay away from the smog
>>2207726cuteid rather just turn that shit off until theres a mod that makes a temporally unstable land stable. im not getting cucked from making a base with a nice view because it makes me crazy
d'ya guys like my kilns :}
>>2207715I usually have one going the entire time to no effect.
>do some panning at night since my clay is cooking and I have better nothing to do at the moment>get a good amount of copper, quartz and even a copper spear headI don't know why the other anon seems to hate panning. It sounds kind of good early game.>>2207728bery nice im sure the bear hiding behind that tree is going to like it ;^)
>>2207726>>2207727Salty's audiovisual design is impressive for many things, like temporal storms. That mod he created for them is so good you almost think it's a well-thought-out mechanic.
>>2207737>this is a part of temporal symphony nowoh so thats why bellhead shivers became a miniboss.
>>2207745Whilst I can understand why, I'm glad you can turn that off.
>>2207728Begging to be peed on by angels.
>>2207784Can the kilns get rained on when the block on top of them is chiseled like a chimney?
Random blocks in my charcoal pit keep getting deleted, but I still end up with most of the batch. What a dogshit mechanic. I'm just gonna mine for coal and never fuck with it again. Who the fuck even enjoys that OSRS tier grind to set it up anyway?>inb4 is your pit completely sealed Yes, obviously.
>>2207795thats...how making charcoal always is. you don't always get the exact number of firewood when you got the charcoal.
>>2207715>>2207725What in the actual fuck
>find surface gold and silver>don't feel much>find surface chalk>feel like the richest man in the worldI wonder what was tyron thinking when he decided to gate the entire leather industry behind such a deceptively rare rock. It unlocks so much good stuff that makes the rest of the game that much more pleasant
>>2207811why do you need chalk for leather?
>>2207813To make limewaterI'm aware there are alternatives but it feels pretty sweet to find one of the main sources of lime just like that
>>2207826I find that borax is just as abundant, to be honest with you, family.
How many mods is too many?
>>2207850I play with 240 mods.
>>2207890Like what? There really aren't that many mods on the website
>>2207890But whyI'd consider 50 to be a lot.
>>2207850I have 170
Cool, I didn't know you can pick up lava with buckets from the Primitive Survival mod. I found some and I can finally make some basalt generator near my base.

I'm kinda tempted to install the firearms mod
>>2207919I caved in and installed it. I still haven't gotten around to making a gun yet. It's actually pretty expensive making one. Right now I'm still using a crossbow.
>>2207922There's crossbows?
>>2207927https://mods.vintagestory.at/crossbows
>>2207922>>2207919It's expensive but the dopamine hit from instantly deleting bearniggers in one shot with a musket is unparalleled in this game, crossbows are a decent mid-game stop gap that pretty much completely replace standard bows.
are there any mods to make the light from stained glass be colored?
>>2207938>crossbows are a decent mid-game stop gap that pretty much completely replace standard bows.Are they really? iirc, historically, crossbows were made so an average peasant could perform the role of an archer without the same training, but even with a crossbow they could not outperform skilled bowmenI remember reading this in a history textbook many years ago so I could be completely mistaken, by the way
>>2207949Crossbows are more steady than the bow. If you are extremely accurate with a bow then it will outperform the crossbow. Usually people don't bother learning how to aim with the bow so they move to the crossbow. Slower fire rate than a bow, but 99% of the time you're hunting things that runs away from you anyways so the reload doesn't matter.
Translocators seem really pointless, especially considering how expensive they are. Here I was thinking you needed to activate one to advance the plot or whatever.
>>2207965Get the mod that makes you make one yourself. Add it to a high mountain where temperature reaches -40C and you'll have the perfect cellar.
>>2207949>Are they really?In games yes, they lack the fire rate but have insanely higher single shot damage often times negating the need for a follow up shot unless fighting like tier 3+ enemies, and even then using an iron crossbow with iron bolts will put them very low. A standard bow will reign supreme for crowd control, but for single target the crossbow is better.If we're talking IRL then you're mostly right.
>>2208046>gamesShould just be "game" since I'm only talking about vintage story.
So other than crocking meals, what other ways are there to preserve food?There's a lot of mods in the server I play at so I don't know all the ways to keep food longer.I've just been smoking meat then curing them in salt. For vegetables I've been picking them. For berries I usually juice them then let them dehydrate, the juice I turn into aqua vitae. Eggs and clams/mussles are the ones I usually crock since they don't dry age, apparently if your hefty red meat stew dry ages in a crock it loses ALL satiety.I don't really know how to keep animal skins longer. I need all the salt for curing my meats and I don't have enough lime/borax to process them all. Should I just let them rot? I do need a lot of rot to make compost.How about pies? Bread? Or do you only make those when you want to eat them?
>>2208136>I've just been smoking meat then curing them in salt. For vegetables I've been picking themThat and crocks are the only way of saving food longer than a couple in game months
>>2208136>There's a lot of mods in the server I play atFood Shelves adds glacier ice powered refrigeratorshaven't tried it but Medieval Expansion has cellar ice
>>2208167There's a mod that makes glacier ice rarer so the fridge is cool to use, but the ice is hard to come by. It's also a non-renewable resource.
>>2206921I might have to do chiseling anyway but here's the overall floorplan. The basalt sand is just for a makeshift dot grid.I'm gonna make a square shape instead of the normal rectangle shape with the large pillars inside the main building being the divider. with the pseudo-nave in the middle aisle between the large columns inside, with the other two entrances on the other sides. I'll have the arcades on the left and right.Let me know what you guys think so far if you want me to add anything or if I missed anything here.
>>2208136>crocking mealsThis HAS to be the most useless mechanic in the game, no? Do you really carry some clunky as shit around that can only suck up one meal from a cooking pot at a time? Why? I can just pull a meal straight from my cooking put and put it into my cellar and it will last plenty long enough.
>>2208175???you can put 4 servings in a crock
I cant even really understand what the shitters are asking about anymore
Anypony ever go wood elf mode?
>>2208169true but it's default settings are very generous unless you guys changed it, iirc 8 whole blocks of ice would keep your shit cool for over a montha trip to the north every two or so years sounds fun desu, I should install it for my current playthrough.
>>2207938I wish brutalstory was alive and you could instagib bearniggers with cannons
>watch VS tutorial video>greeted with a sexy tranny voice>have to wankWhy does this keep happening? I'm just trying to learn about the game...
>>2208205ok xeth
>>2208169>water freezes in winter>allow the player to head to a lake or pond and carve out lake ice with a chisel>let you build an icehouse structure to store said ice to use throughout the yearWe've been doing this shit for thousands of years. The ancient Persians even had Yakchals which could make ice as well as store it, in the fucking desert.
I have the most rizzless, unfuckable based in existence - it's two stories with four 7 x 7 rooms made of claystone cobble walls and oak plank flooring. Also there is a basement cave that contains a bunch of holes for clay molding, a charcoal pit, and a cellar. Also half of the building itself is magically floating above water.
>>2207811if the server has a lot of mods you probably have expanded cooking and a cullinary artilleryso...vanilla:>a cellar is obviously a must, with a properly made one your precious foods will never spoil at a rate faster than x0.25, this makes most food items last at least ~3 in game months>clay vessels have an additional bonus for veggies and grains>burning things makes them last longer at the cost of some sat>berries, juicing & drying is pretty much the best way to preserve them.>pies only last a month in a cellar outside of winter, but this improves the lifespan of berries and meat by a lot.>grain lasts the longest in flour form (twice as long as unprocessed grain) you can then turn it into bread or pie whenever you wish.>tree fruits last last a good while, and are the only way to get fruit sat outside of berries>cheese is great for long lasting dairy.>honey lasts forever and the wax can seal crocks. but is annoying to farm in vanilla with constant skep crafting. use from golden combs if your server has it.>as long as its not winter mushrooms and berries wont go bad if left unharvested. crops as well but they have varyingEF/ACA:>bottles are your best friend, when corked they make liquids last for a very long time>alcohols age instead of rotting, effectively eternal if properly preserved.>berries can now be candied, this makes them last for over a year.>fruit bread, lets you shove fruit into bread, another option for berry preservation thats longer than pie.other mods:>food shelves adds the ice fridge, but unless the server has a way to collect lake you'll need to >>2208193>medieval overhaul adds cellar ice, but it needs ice as well. and a lot more iirc>both of these stack with each other and regular cellar bonuses. so for maximum preservation you'll want to them all.
I still miss the old builds that are forever gonehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfpRm-p7qlY
>>2208212where's saddam hussein's hiding place
>>22072582 weeks is basically the time after which kraut starts being in a pickled state, 1 1/2 months also fits well to reach the point where it is sufficiently aged and all "proper".Stuff like vinegar pickled eggs have a similar time frame.>>2207332Lacto fermenting with salt still falls under the category of pickling.
>>2204870truly, i closed the server today because nobody else has played for a week and i didnt really like the spawn anyways, it was a peninsula with other landmasses more than a few minutes away.honestly i think i'll ignore oceans and join nOG but i wanna take a few day break first.what does nOG have anyways? and are class exclusive recipes on or off.>>2204893i would be weekend servers arent really my thing, and bringing that group along is a bad idea.its a fat fetish group, i dont trust half of them to keep it in their pants and i dont trust the other half to behave in a chan environmenti also know it'd just end with me in a ghost town. again.
>>2208269>its a fat fetish groupSounds like perfect buildfags to me.
>>2208274you make the architecture joke but no, no.>the farmer is the unreliable one, he kinda does building but he's finished exactly two builds over ~5 servers. he was the blacksmith for the first server and we had regular tool shortages, we also had to beg him to work on iron and steel. also has a bad habit of not listening.>the chef doesnt even try to build even when i tell him to at least make an attempt. also cooks "just enough" (i'll just say he's motivated by starving sounds)>the lumberjack, makes good progress on his builds but he was a no show for the last server.>everyone else has come and gone between servers and does the other jobs. but none of them have ever finished a good build either.im the only one that really makes finished buildings. at least i try to while blacksmithing/mining for 5 people and exploring for better ruins blueprints because nobody else will even try doing either of those things.next time i boot up the server for them im probably going to put up a reminder that says "dont know what to do? just build something" and see if that gives better results for the server's lifespan (it wont)
>>2208269>i didnt really like the spawn anyways, it was a peninsula with other landmasses more than a few minutes away.>honestly i think i'll ignore oceans and join nOG
>>2208287i get that nog's bad too but when i say peninsula i mean it.the landmass that was connected to it was more or less just copper, lead, sulfur, and black coal. had to sail elsewhere for everything else.there are no translocators in this snippet of the map.and to top off the peninsula was bear and wolf territory, we made pits but they just kept spawning for some reason.
>>2208295thats scaled 1:4. for comparison here's the area around spawn on the nOG map upload from last thread at 25% zoom.the surrounding landmasses are notably closer and there's a translocator within a reasonable distance.
>>2208295>>2208298this is why it stands for not OG, because it will never be the seamless beautiful lands of OGalso nigger
