Minecraft isn't on steam either and yet you played it at some point

I'll come back when they add huge ships that I can live in so I can sail massive oceans and occasionally stop by small tropical islands for fruits and game

>>716200709 (OP)
Not hard enough and the systems are to shallow, also the fuck kind of fucky geology is going on in these maps.

No thanks

>>716204850
That's like saying Minecraft isn't done yet.

>>716206042
Is there a fork in it?

>>716206851
What? What is that supposed to mean?

>>716206902
"Put a fork in it, it's done" is an idiom that means something is finished, completed, or beyond repair.

>>716200709 (OP)
Because your shit game is Minecraft for pretentious faggots. Buy a fucking ad.

>>716207026
There isn't "going to be a fork" in Vintage Story for several decades.

>>716206042
Its playable and has an ending so, yes? I mean they're still adding since like 2010 or whatever the dev versions are. But then again theres a lot of other games that still get content updates well after their release.

>>716207130
>Its playable and has an ending so, yes?
No one plays Minecraft for the ending. Vintage Story is fully playable (the current version is 1.20), and more content is being added, just like with modern Minecraft.

>>716203470
I like the Plains and Valleys mod
as for QOL: Automap markers, auto panning, more map icons, resin on all sides, spawn highlighter, visible ore, visible high fertility particles
anvil metal recovery is also nice

>>716207226
>No one plays Minecraft for the ending.
fair point

>>716207118
I was talking about minecraft

>>716200709 (OP)
my favorite part about minecraft is finding a cool spot to build a village, transferring vils there, then leveling them up to max. i dont think vintage story has that

>>716207287
And what were you trying to say? I understand the idiom, but not why you used it.

>>716200709 (OP)
How do I stick to one world? I always play this game for few dozen of hours before I take a long break, come back some time after a new update and then get the urge to play with some different mods that would be incompatible with my last world.

Why do threads about this game always feel like actual shilling?
I'm not talking about natural threads on a game where some retard shambles in to scream "SHILL!", I mean actual, blatant shilling.

>>716207443
Probably because no one is discussing their playthrough.

>>716200709 (OP)
>why haven't you made vintage story your main survival crafting block game?
no equivalent to the mods i use on minecraft.

>>716207443
Because they are. Nobody discusses the game itself, it's always
>Hey guys, stop playing Minecraft and check out this cool new game, Vintage Story™!

>>716207582
Yeah, there is a lack of big magic/tech mods. Something like Immersive Engineering would port very nicely into Vintage Story, I think.

>>716204002

>>716200709 (OP)
Are there NPC settlements in the game?
I might consider buying if courtship and marriages are added to the game

Any good geology mods? In best case a total rework

>>716208064
there's currently only one which is story related, but i think they're planning to add naturally generated villages in a future update

>>716208064
Apparently. Never seen one myself, though.

>>716209356
This is pissing me off. Just add a proper fucking wood stove.

>>716207130
>Its playable and has an ending so, yes?
It has something that was arbitrarily declared as an ending, the game doesn't even end after its "ending", there's content you can only access after "finishing" the game.

player models so fucking ugly
enemies annoying
corrupto time mechanic sucks
nothing to do once you get to metal

>>716203403

>>716209671
honestly looks interesting, is it still getting updates?

> it's on lutris
Fine, I'll watch your trailer

I have.
I've not played in a few months since I've been occupied with other games. My current save I've beaten the first ruin and now I'm trying to save gears for the elk thing before I go off traipsing to my next objective.
I wish I'd known there would be more travelling since I spent a good chunk of time building this house next to the archive only for that area to become basically pointless after. I might use this as my retirement spot after I've finished the whole story, though the first home I made has more to it (farms and windmill etc)

>>716200709 (OP)
Unironically why should I play this over Minecraft?

>>716204002
Minecraft was only available on Mojang for literally 10 years of its early life. It was just as sketchy as Vintage Story.

>>716200709 (OP)
Because it's incredibly boring to do anything. It's minecraft with 30 extra steps to making basic shit and in a solo game, that's horrible to engage in.
Minecraft is incredibly simple to engage in and rewarding to play. Vintage Story is needlessly complex to do anything and it never gets better than that.
I understand there's a market for that and don't discredit it but it's not for me.

>>716200709 (OP)
cause hunger system blows fucking dick, i wanna explore, not worry about a fucking tummyache

>>716209972
iron is still fine, you're pretty much set for the game once you found a single deposit, I don't think it ever took me more than an hour of searching. If anything I have more trouble finding stuff like borax or salt

>>716214101
>HUD clock
Get out.

post builds you're proud of

>>716210009
I always decide in favor of the normal game instead of the no lore/drifters etc setting thinking I'll finally engage with that content only to fully ignore it by sleeping through storms and never going after the lore locations

is this minecraft but less retarded?

>>716214616
Its minecraft but more autistic (bit not enough)

>>716214616
Yeah but essentially what >>716214307 said, its very needlessly complex to the point where making a simple tool it tedious, so Minecraft just comes off as easy, simple and babby mode after you play it, tons of things to worry about in the beginning too like limited storage and harder hunger mechanics, youre relegated to eating berries and cattails because you cant just build a stone sword and slaughter chickens at the spawn point within the first 20 mins or so of spawning, its far more in depth and complex than Minecraft is to its own detriment.

But can you date cute village girls in this game

>>716214795
You can be my village girl if you join my server

>>716214787
You can knap some spears as soon as you spawn in and go hunt a boar or a goat. Then make an axe for a fireplace to cook the meat. It takes about twenty minutes. Sure that food will suck and you're better off eating the MANY berries and mushrooms available, but it takes like three ingame days to make pottery and that's if you're extremely unlucky.

>>716214419
I like my current base.

>>716200709 (OP)
because theres no way to disable console commands like minecraft has and when something bullshit ruins my day i cant not use them

>>716214967
Yeah true, but the game really doesn't tell you how to do most things from the start and gives you an in-game manual to refer to from the start, (which I liked don't get me wrong) instead of holding your hand or doing the thing the game expects you to do and look up video guides, and leaving things unexplained.So it does come off as not very beginner friendly esp. if you've never played a survival game or block building Minecraft clones. I like it though, Minecraft with added gameplay layers without any mods out of the box is pretty cool. You could always just play the game on easy or whatever, I think it has a peaceful equivalent difficulty choice? I dunno.

No, sorry.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kikTJaVBank

>>716215847
Nah its a survival crafting game so it counts,

>>716215418
Minecraft also doesn't tell you how to craft shit. You can experiment and figure shit out, but if that's on the table then VS does it better because it has on-screen tooltips in your face about what action can be done with the item you're holding, like "start knapping" with a rock or piece of flint. You can follow along reasonably easily until you get to copper tools. After which yeah, Minecraft is a lot more intuitive as you progress, but also only up until a certain point. VS is at least upfront that you need a handbook.

>i like switching between terra prety and conquest, best world gen mods imo and works great with rivergen
Cool thanks, I like Vintage Story but the only problem I had with it was how much dry land there is with vanilla worldgen. The only other issue I have is the lack of variety in weaponry and the combat overhaul armory mod doesn't really work on it's own and has funky hitboxes.

>>716217627
a non-retard could, yes
something compels me to know the exact layout of the home I'm building in Vintage Story, but nowhere else. I guess it's because it's so much of a hassle compared to other titles?

>Have to create a new world in order to get all the up-to-date features and contents
fuck you

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is 10/10. Never heard of this one.

>>716201514
You are a ridiculous faggot.

>>716207971
There is already mechanical power in the game, albeit very basic, and with only one power source (give us fucking water wheels). I hope we'll someday get metallic gears and a need to use them, like having a higher torque capacity.

>>716217809
Dragon Quest Builders 3 never ever
Fucking loved 1 and 2. 1 has the movement and feeling, but 2 really gave a lot of personalization and content. 1 was more of a story, where 2 was kinda like a sandbox with a very loose 'story' in disguise of a tutorial.
still confused about 1's ending

Yes. I was playing it last night as I got my annual craving for block building.

>modGOD does what Tyrondon't
Good.

>>716220604
From the mod page:

>Repeated instances of lacking info in descriptions, lots of small "fixes" that would edge towards what the mods requested to be changed but only very slowly. The fishing mod was a prime example of this - I found it almost right as it was published and there was absolutely no info as to what it did. Even after a few description changes there was little to no info. It also included drug manufacturing as a package deal for some reason.

>A mod made by him was uploaded by a friend that allowed draft versions of mods on ModDB to be downloaded through a server: You'd join a server and then I believe you'd get a prompt to download a list of mods, this list either could contain or was made to only contain the aforementioned draft mods. Technically not malicious in and of itself, but was against the rules and could be used maliciously more easily than other mod downloaders.

>There was a ModDB ban that occured at some point and there were back and forths between the dev and moderators over the mod issue and the description issue. I believe the downloader mod occurred after a suspension/restriction was threatened or placed and the one year suspension + ban on reuploading his mods occured because of the downloader mod.

Basically fucked around one too many times and got banned for a year.

>>716200709 (OP)
not until Combat Extended: Vintage Story edition is made.

>>716220442
Holy shit. We've reached the point where discord drama is so bad that nexus became the alternative.
>>716220459
Boohoo it's just a mod. It's just a game. It's not some autistic github project with high standards. You don't hear of moddb modders getting banned for not disclosing their minor changes in stalker mod compilations. Hell even steam workshop mods barely have descriptions. I bet the devs are just jealous that they can't steal mod ideas as easily without documentation.

>>716214232
It's more fun and there's more depth to the mechanics.
Updates are less based around adding random shit that doesn't connect to existing content in any way and usually build off what's already in game, like the large kiln to make firing clay objects en mass way easier.
Survival mode actually feels like you're trying to survive in an unforgiving wilderness.
The lore and ruin spawns feel like they make sense in game, instead of feeling like something tacked on half way into the game's lifespan.
If none of that is your thing, then you probably wont enjoy it.

is there a 1x scale day/night cycle mod?

>>716226292
Last time i checked that wasnt possible because everything is synched to the time.

Blockslop is holding voxel games back

>>716226292
/time hoursperday [0-9999]
1 hour in game is 2 minutes, so 30*24=720 hour days should be as long as a real world day, but idk how this affects crops and such
/time calendarspeedmul
this one affects the game's tick speed in theory
>Shows or set the calendar speed multiplier, changing the overall time speed in game (default 0.5, making the hours pass by 50% of normal speed).
so 0.5/30=0.0166 should give you 24h days too while slowing down everything affected by time too, if the game even accepts that value

>>716226292
i think it's an option on world gen

I guess I have but I still really wish for a terrain generation overhaul. Or some mods akin to Terraforged in MC.
love all the bricks that are in the game
>>716226292
dunno but if you just alter it with the server commands your world will keep it the way you like it.

>>716226985
have you tried Plains And Valleys?

>>716200709 (OP)
I don't care about survival crafting games.

>>716200709 (OP)
Because I already have TFC, the superior choice
please god add autistic machine mods already

is it mandatory to be a humongous faggot to be part of the player base or is it just a coincidence that they all are?

>>716226985
>I still really wish for a terrain generation overhaul
Conquest Landform Overhaul works great

>>716227692
>please god add autistic machine mods already
Next update should be about mechanical power, so maybe we'll see shit like steam and the like.

>>716227728
I'm not even joining the 4chan server because i know i will see either faggots or furries or both. I'm hosting my own and we have giant swasticas in strategic positions

Create is just more fun. Survival slop will never get close to automation kino

>>716210080
yeah

>>716229259
just play a real automation game at that point

>>716200709 (OP)
redpill me on this game

>>716229478
Realistic voxel-based survival game made my ex Minecraft modders. Features an actual smithing system among other neat stuff.

>>716229426
I still want to play a crafting block game where I can make aesthetically pleasing buildings tho

>>716229478
how much autism you got? the higher it goes, the more youll like the game
Its peak comfy for a survival block game. Everything is expanded and well thought out, for better or worse. Actual seasons that affects the world and (You), knapping stones to get tools, cave-ins when mining, voxel-based building systems such as smithing and clay forming.
In Minecraft, you want a pickaxe, you punch a tree, get logs, break it down for wood and sticks, make a crafting table, and shape it in on crafting table. About 3 minutes in total.
In Vintage Story, you spend an hour or two depending on settings/luck, to find copper nuggets. You dig up clay to form a crucible mold. You use clay to form a pickaxe mold. You gather sticks and wood/peat to make a kiln to cook the pickaxe mold and the crucible to store your nuggets in. You make a pit of firewood to get charcoal. You use the charcoal to heat up the copper nuggets that are in the crucible. You make wooden tongs so you dont literally burn your hands to death by holding the crucible. You pour the molten copper into the pickaxe mold. After some time, you put the pickaxe head into the crafting grid with an singular stick to make a pickaxe. About 2 in total, not accounting the struggle of finding copper nuggets.

>>716229873
that's fair, I'm not aware of any vanilla game that can deliver that

>>716227728
huh...
why is this disgusting antifa blob in a vintage story video

>>716230250
>the higher it goes, the more youll like the game
Lies and utter lies

I did, but only after nerfing rifts into the fucking dirt.
Seriously, my first world was set by default and the rift creatures were spawning NON-STOP.
I tried to relocate multiple times, travelling great distances, but none of that helped.

So I modified the YAML files. Now the rift creatures are like 80% less likely to spawn, storms and temporal rifts are disabled and this feels much better.
These faggots only spawn underground now or when it's VERY DARK outside.

I was tired of running away and slaughtering rift creatures 24/7, but didn't want to live without them either.

>>716233586
whaat you don't like being constantly harrassed by stone-throwing little shits inside your base while you engage with the complex crafting and survival elements and having to stop and play the shitty barebones combat instead?
Temporal shenanigans shouldn't even exist (cool place huh? Well you can't build a base here because of rng, though luck) and supernatural monsters should only exist in caves and ruins, basically what you did

>>716233586
>>716234020
>Shitters who don't know how to make a perimeter

I do not like it because I can never decide where to settle. The world is too fucking large, I want to explore to actually SEE the ruins but they're all 100km away, I need resources but they're all spread in a 20km radius, I want to be a wandering explorer instead but there are not enough items to facilitate this and winter is unsurvivable.

>>716229478
Fun game focused on semi-realistic wilderness survival and slowly advancing to the steel age.
It's gets pretty detailed with it's crafting mechanics and expects a fair bit of patience, but is generally a good time if you're willing to give it some time.
It's also a lot more fun with a decent sized group of friends, was on a server hosted by another board for a bit, probably the most fun I had with a bunch of random anons in years, showed everyone how to work a still and use it to make rubbing alcohol for bandages or brandy to preserve wine for much longer.

>>716234494
>storm spawns niglets right on your ass
what now, smart guy?
>inb4 just hole up in the designated cuck room until it's over
that's exactly what I don't want to do

>>716234598
those arent really large distances

>>716234598
make the world smaller before creating a new save

>>716234753
It's somewhat tolerable and neat roleplay with the rivers mod so you can sail to your mines and have outposts, but you have to modify the current force because sailing upstream is impossible.

>>716200709 (OP)
I'm waiting for Nintendo to make one

>>716234853
you can modify that? how

>>716234903
config lib, you can even turn it off

>>716234941
does it fuck with other stuff?

>>716234741
>I don't know how to crisis control
>this is the games fault

>>716234494
I'd rather focus on building stuff and learning the complex mechanics.
You do yours, anon.

>>716234995
No, in my experience
On paper Rivers fucks up with Better Ruins but I've never encountered anything weird with that either.

>>716234494
no such thing
you can literally spam torches and manbuilt blocks for 4000 yards and nothing stops portals from spawning on top of your buildings

>>716235070
I said from the start that I don't like it, dumbass. Difficulty was never the issue, it's simply anti-fun

>>716230250
>>716234652
wow that sounds really autistic and not for me at all but I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves

>>716204002

>>716214307
>Because it's incredibly boring to do anything. It's minecraft with 30 extra steps to making basic shit and in a solo game, that's horrible to engage in.
But that's why I never liked Minecraft. I quickly get materials to build 50 houses and whatever else I want. Also, houses are completely unecessary, even.
In Vintage story I value every weapon and tool I make, even more so for houses, kilns, etc.
In 100 days of Vintage story I might do less than in 2 days of Minecraft but that doesn't make it less fun of a game. I'm not saying that you can't like Minecraft but in these cases either you like one or the other since they're polar opposites.

>>716200709 (OP)
Bloat and tedium

>>716204850
This

>>716235879
This. It's pretty much the reason "society simulators" and other economy memes don't work on Minecraft (at least in vanilla), resources are plentiful and danger nonexistent so everyone reaches post-scarcity within 20 minutes. In VS it works and you can have different multiplayer settlements specializing in resources because scarcity is an omnipresent threat.

>>716234741
>what now, smart guy?
Sit at home while it clears, maybe farm flax and gears a bit.

>>716235727
>wow that sounds really autistic and not for me at all but I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves
That's a pretty normal reaction to it.

>>716207118
Fuck this retarded wannabe game dev.

wasn't this shut down? or do I mix it with another monecraft clone

>>716236193
>wannabe
By definition, he is already a proper game developer.

>>716236354
You're thinking of hytale.
This one just got an update yesterday.

>>716236354
they scooped up the hytale "talent"

>>716236025
Minecraft was fun when I was a kid, but so was everything, I think it's a great game for kids but as I grew up I never realised how someone can have fun building with 1 stone and 6 types of wood blocks in a limited way for empty buildings that you can't even decorate nicely that have no purpose, but then again Minecraft was/is the most popular game in the world so it's probably just me. I have a friend who swears by it, but he likes it because of that nostalgia everyone has, not because of gameplay.

>>716200709 (OP)

Nah I feel that, it gets a bit more fun with mods but it really does feel like it only hit so hard when it did because there was nothing like it.
t. finished highschool when the game was in alpha and got a copy just before they added beds

>>716236916
>nostalgia
Zamn. When I first played Minecraft I was 21. I'm almost 40 now. There's nothing "nostalgic" about Minecraft.
Guild Wars however is def nostalgic. It was a shitty instanced game where cities were hubs but it's still nostalgic regardless. As is WoW.

>>716227998
VGH partnership based society instead of domination... where did it go so wrong, bros

>>716238326
>Zamn. When I first played Minecraft I was 21
I'm that old now kek.

>>716236193
Youre confusing it with the Hypixel scammers.
The VS dev actually released a playable game

>>716234494
I did not ask for this...

vintage story will only go hard when it has a million different expansive mods like minecraft

>>716200709 (OP)
Just started playing and made it into the copper age. I want to get a saw and shears so I can make planks and harvesting trees more sustainably. I need to make these from ingots, right? Which I will need a hammer + anvil + forge for? Smithing is kind of confusing but I'm getting a handle on it.

I also need to start a better farm and an underground storage room. Any tips?

Also, how does monster spawing work? The wiki says that they only spawn around rifts but I swear I've seen a couple drifters around just at night

>>716242875
certain tools like saw and shears doesn't have a mold but instead requires an anvil+hammer to make it.
for farms you just wanna focus on flax because you're gonna need A LOT of flax threads for your windmill automation and while your at it you can make a max size 7x7x7 cellar just from dirt/stone to preserve food for winter.

>>716210009
I fucking hate rain. It rains all the time where I made base and being soaking wet all the time saps my hunger and makes it hard to go out and do anything in sunlight
