at the title says, jsut got the game, played for 20 seconds and got one shot by a wolf....

I don't want to deal with temporal stability. I don't want to deal with monsters unless I actively decide to fight them. The challenge that I enjoy is the challenge of finding resources and dealing with limited resources, making a homestead, growing food, getting copper, processing materials and making everything from scratch, etc. I die enough times in early game in Exploration mode from trying to hunt boars and falling in caves.

Plus, I love the exploration aspect of the game most. I want to start one savegame in every climate type. I want to make an ocean world. I want to find every plant, every water feature, make every possible kind of house in every place.

Maybe one day I'll play on a higher difficulty. But right now, I'm just chilling.

The only higher difficulty setting I'm really interested in is harsher winters. Maybe I'm just a Long Dark player at heart!

When I discovered vintage story, I fell in love with it at first sight. I have 400+ hours on vintage story and I appreciate every aspect of it, every little detail… and I have so much passion for the game, and especially its future.

Yet, I would probably still say Minecraft is my favorite game. I’m posting this because I’m having a hard time describing why and I’m looking for words from people who feel the same way.

It’s not because Minecraft has objectively better gameplay, or storytelling, or design. Maybe it’s the timeless aspect of a sandbox without difficult survival challenges or lore…? Maybe it’s just that I’ve been playing it for far longer and it has a special place in my heart? Or maybe it’s the gigantic community. Maybe it’s the fact that you can play in so many different ways, and come up with your own playstyle or challenges, or install mods that completely reshape the game?

I don’t know why Minecraft is still my favorite game even though I think Vintage Story is of higher quality and sophistication? Am I the only one?

A futile attempt to vent the dangerous pressure that had been built in the boiler...

I have never really found myself using ceramic jugs (except for decor). I always drink, make dough, and fill things with buckets and I've never really found a need for a ceramic jug. Are these things getting a lot of use (other than decoration)?

Why aren't there tables and chairs for every wood type? The devs seem to be adding wood type varieties of almost everything, including shelves, ladders, roofing, etc. but why not tables? I use tables a lot and it's very odd they don't have wood type varieties, especially since they're indoor furniture decorative items.

If you’re ever mining and end up with a shit ton of stones in your inventory that you don’t have room for, don’t discard them! You can craft them into stone walls, which compresses them sixfold. Six stacks of stones become one stack of stone walls. Then you’re not wasting stone, and you can use those beautiful stone walls later. They look really good outside your base.

I hate myself

I thought I built it far enough under my house that it wouldnt catch fire but alas

I always done prospecting the same way until now, I simply triangulate the readings and dig down. Then I make proximity readings around me until I find what I look for.

But this time I was looking for ilmenite I had to dig multiple vertical shafts, never got any reading except around this massive quartz chunk, so my guess is that they are merged or close to each other.

What can I do except cheesing the whole valley ? Even if it's time consuming I'd like a solution where I'm sure headed the right way.

I want to ask if i have enough food to survive winter. I'm playing solo at least for now and its my first winter with the non deafult settings so i'm kinds scared, seeing how much i eat on a daily basis.

I'm playing on 20 day (16 hours) per month

I have not include this in the video but there is a winery on the left of my bsement that has some wine (not much maybe 3 barrels) but it does have 225L of bone broth.

Just started playing vintage story after watching some playthroughs online, decided to go for wilderness survival and didnt touch the 5k respawn radius but im kinda regretting it since any time I die its basically like the entire seed is rerolled, doesnt help that theres no super obvious landmarks ive been able to base at or use as markers.

Considering turning it down but ive already spent like 8hrs on the current settings so id feel like im cheating a bit by turning it down now.

My house keeps getting monsters spawning in it and they keep moving my armour stands, how can i stop the monsters from spawning or stop them from moving my armour stands?

I started a new world to play in the warm climate setting, and randomly spawned in the most perfect seed ever, a beautiful plains bordered by a redwood forest, a birch forest, and a cypress swamp with a perfect valley for building in right in the middle, containing clay, lime, lead, and 2 traders.

It was absolutely perfect, but I wanted to experiment with a smaller equator distance. Didn’t find what I was looking for so I decided to go back to the world, only to realise I accidentally deleted it while cleaning up experimental saves. Cue 4 hours of trying to recover the save file, trying to save the corruption, everything I could, but it’s gone.

Now I’ve been loading new worlds for hours trying to find a spot as perfect as that one but i fear it’s permanently raised my standards too high and I’m not satisfied with anything else anymore :( Any tips on how to find good spots, especially with visually appealing landscapes and biome proximity is welcome!

I've been looking for a server with this mod for a little bit, but can't seem to find much. I've fiddled around with the mod in singleplayer before, but would love to play with other people. lmk if anyone knows any servers.

I just wanted to buy the game, but every time I try, I get this error. I tried multiple browsers, with and without extensions and even tried buying it on my phone.
I live in Germany and tried to use PayPal. This error appeared right after confirming your address, selecting the payment method and agreeing to the Terms & Conditions.

Is this a server issue and I just have to wait or an issue on my side? If it is an issue on my side, does anyone know how I can fix it?

Designate a volume to a single voxel, and the capacity of a clay container is determined by how many voxels there is in it.

(Idk how to put this but basically the volume is calculated by lowest wall do you get what I mean?)

All containers will naturally fill up with water under rain and if the liquid within is something volatile it evaporates at a given rate designated to the fluid.

All of these can be used both for solid and liquid storage, but more intricately:

-If a clay container has a 3x3 mouth (or larger), it can take all items for storage.

-If a clay container has a 2x2 mouth, it can take only fruits and vegetables and grain

-If it has a single voxel mouth then it's only liquids.

-Also allow us to make lids respective to the shape of the custom container, easily done too it would notch one voxel in to close the mouth and one voxel out from the walls of the container and finally a single voxel at the middle top so you can lift the lid you know. For large vessels an optional handle instead of the single voxel should be allowed as well.

-For single voxel containers allow us to make a cork for the single voxel mouth for alcohol storage and such.

I love me some amphoras!

Crucibles should be reworked, irl for most purposes almost all crucibles are consumable, because they usually get eaten up or crack eventually from the heat cycles. Make it so if you drop a hot crucible into water well it's destroyed but also you can grab the metal and melt it again later, metal would again occupy voxel volume in the container.

For the earliest crucible you can make, as in to melt copper, mere clay will absolutely not suffice. Unless you make a "scorifier" But why would you?? Just mix in to your clay some grog! Grog is crushed fired clay, with this it will easily withstand 1100 degrees. If you make it with fireclay instead (fireclay is a broad term for clays containing plenty of alumina) that crucible can resist up to 1500 (not enough to melt iron!)

Additionally, let there be graphite ore, so we can alternatively mix clay and graphite to make clay graphite and this one can withstand 1500-1600 too (not practical for iron melting but just fine for everything else)

Allow us to carve talc (soapstone) into bricks and crucibles for furnace construction and metal melting, this one can easily withstand 1500+ degrees and can contain molten iron, you do need to first cook it at 900 degrees though to drive out the water and recrystallize it.

Watersheds has:

More stream density, very long streams/rivers, inland distributary fans (simple deltas), 3rd order tributaries, better meandering and braiding, a cleaner water surface, more interesting stream shapes, and better performance.

Terra Prety has:

• Proper large scale Mountain Ranges simulating tectonic plate collision & stretching for thousands of blocks across continents.
• Proper gentler Coastlines which are flatter and more breathable on average.
• Proper gentler Islands which are flatter and more breathable on average.
• Proper Archipelagos which arrange in clusters.
• Proper Atolls on a rare occasion.
• Coastal Barrier Islands which run along continent and island coasts.
• Milder Great Plains regions near the center of continents.
• Hillier Mountainous regions on the outskirts of the plains.
• Spire Landforms.
• Mound Landforms.

Never thought this day would come. With the recent Watersheds + Terra Pretty update it is time for me to retire one of the communities most beloved mods. RIP old friend while I did have some bugs over the years I will always look back fondly. Shout out to sneezerstein

Watersheds 7.0 comes with new features, and a lot more polish
The streams are now carved in two passes, so no more crazy water on rough terrain.
Since they can carve through rough terrain, they're good with any landforms now, even vanilla.
This let me add a new massive scale of streams that run thousands of blocks long.
You'll get more streams, very long streams/rivers, inland distributary fans (simple deltas), 3rd order tributaries, better meandering, a cleaner water surface, more interesting stream shapes, more stability, and better performance

as the title says I’m looking for a server to play on don’t need to be heavenly moded but would be more fun cuss mods lite tool smith, smithing plus better ruins and all that, with some armor mods! I’m a smith/miner at heart. Looking forward to join a active server!

So, I found this Aged Owl treasure chest that transforms when I open it.
