Play Vintage Story

Add more automation you fucks.

>explore cave
>weird music starts playing
>enemies start spawning right in front of me
>get two shot
Very cool

But I am. I am currently getting copper tools for the first time.

>>719219065 (OP)
the clay molding thing just seems stupid and overly tedious

i'll stick with minecraft bedrock edition thanks

>>719219065 (OP)
Is there any new content yet, or is the game still just basically over once you find Iron?

>>719219250
You went to a dangerous cave without even leather armor, didn't you?

This isnt minecraft fake survival kids, you actually have to put in effort to make things and survive the depths.

>>719219065 (OP)
I don't have anyone to play with, and Minecraft-likes are tedious without other people around.

>>719219560
They added a chapter 2 to the story of what I glanced on the website of the devlog, not sure what that means.

I bought the game a day ago I'm on my first playthrough. I had to learn the hard way a storm rolled over my dirt hut and extinguished all my pit kilns with clay items in them.

>>719219748
The game is really fun first time around and dealing with all the set-backs and things you didn't think would happen.

But once you know it all, it feels a bit basic.
Don't look up too much stuff. Just play the game.

>>719219828
I'm reading the handbook mostly. I had to search up how to find ore and the only thing I've gotten from the internet is that ore deposits have small rock spawns on top to indicate its below because for the life of me I could not figure out how to find the ore.

But I didnt make a hammer first for my first copper item so now I have to find another deposit and I cant even break the copper chunks I mined.

>>719219065 (OP)
Just play Vintage Story

>>719219363
its the best feeling in the world isnt it?

>>719219563
All you need is enough spears. Armor is optional

>>719220268
Yea. The copper spearhead I found from panning though. I had to pan because the first 20 nuggets I only had 14 so I panned for the rest of the 6 after I read the handbook.

>>719220000
Nice quads.
Yeah, ore seems more complicated than it is really.
But, it's relatively intuitive once you figure it out.

It's important to note that certain ores only spawn within certain rocks. And so you first need to locate that type of rock if you want to find the ores that occur within it.

>>719219065 (OP)
just started a new world after the newest update,
feels bad since I just found out my base is sitting on ultra-high amount of native copper and high amount of magnetite.
since when were captchas only 2 minutes long?

>>719219065 (OP)
is the update out?

>>719219828
I had to cheat to find fire clay because the three coal deposits I checked literally had none. No clue why the book even mentions it 'can' spawn there. Also walked around for two hours trying to find the biome it spawns naturally in.

From now on I'll just make it all from flint even though it's tedious as fuck. Huge waste of time doing it the other ways.

I found this weird structure

>>719220268
The best feeling in the world is making a good helve hammer setup and not having to carefully produce each and every iron ingot

>>719220560
Winter started and I was one harvest away from having enough material for the windmill. I was so sad I haven't played since.

>>719219065 (OP)
i'm not playing until this fucking faggot that caters to his fat retarded fucking faggot wife adds in fishing
>DURR WE ADD IN BUTTERFLY CATCHING
fuck off retard.

>>719220474
it's hardly tedious to stick a stack of flint in a bloomery furnace and get enough calcined flint for a stack of fire bricks in one go (assuming you have a windmill quern already if you're producing so much iron that fire clay supply is a problem)

>>719220680
>windmill
I just wanted an oven. I didn't even know about cooking it until I flat out looked up how to get it.

>>719220492
There are lots of ruins out there. I'm not sure if this kind of has any loot, but cobblestone ruins usually have buried jars and bony soil

>>719220464
Apparently.

>>719219065 (OP)
No Steam
No buy

>>719220892
I found another surface deposit so I got another 20 that I need thank god I dont have to pan. Its medium so its more copper. I have so much copper I'll have tools forever no more shitty stone ones that break every 2 minutes

>>719219065 (OP)
>won't even be finished in TWENTY (20) fucking years according to the dev himself
no thanks I'm not touching slop that'll never reach 1.0.

>>719220997
I support them doing their own website. They don't have to give greedy fatass gaben 30%+Tax+Tip.

Good.

>>719221058
Now go find some tin. Even a tiny amount nets a ton of bronze.

>>719221142
Easier for me to get it on Steam, if the devs can't be bothered to put their games in a platform that's better for me then they can eat shit.

>>719219065 (OP)
>minecraft fork

Helve hammers are good and all, but what other machines would you like to see added to the game?
Personally, some pully stuff like Better Than Wolves.

>>719219065 (OP)
>village.png
>2 buildings

>>719221135
I'm having fun and I've spent 12 hours so far, I played all day today. Well worth it vs a pizza and wings or fast food that costs the same or more.

There's mod support too so if it does get abandoned at least it will be easy to create content. Skyrim is the same way and its low effort basically no good story bethesda slop even if it is polished.

>>719219065 (OP)
WHERES THE FUCKING SAAAALLLLLLTTTTTT

>>719221294
Go into caves and pray.

>>719221208
Better than Wolves was made obsolete when Create came out. If Vintage Story got a Create style mod it would be perfect.

>>719219065 (OP)
>vintage in title
>voxels
>not on Steam
Sounds gay.

Why is this a separate game and not just a minecraft mod? This looks exactly like minecraft.

>>719221860
It was but they splintered off because Java is fucky and also Minecraft is Minecraft and not a real survival game. At this moment I'd say Vintage Story doesn't have enough content yet to play it instead of a custom Terrafirma modpack.

>>719221860
Because its not minecraft. It has many systems that are unique and is coded in c# I think. The point is it has one click modding API and isn't limited to minecrafts assets.

Mods in minecraft can only go so far because its by block, not voxels. You'll still be playing minecraft at the end of the day. For example Better than wolves which is similar all uses minecraft items and minecraft concepts, It's restrained by minecrafts framework. It can't really be unique.

>>719221208
probably lift or something

>>719220268
Best feeling for me was making pots and sealing them with wax so I could easily live through winter with all the preserved food.

Worst feeling was looking for limestone for 3 irl days in a row. I was probaly looking for it wrong but god was it a search, I don't want to change it but I don't want to do it again.

>>719221208
Electricity and lighting. Harvesting temporal storms for power or some shit. Drawbridges. Bucket lifts with hoppers.

>>719222258
They should definitely add temporal batteries since there's lightning in the game. It would power your base with lights and would give you ability to maybe stronger weapons and a new crafting/enchantment system.

>>719221743
>not on Steam being a factor
Now thats gay anon!

>>719219065 (OP)
I'll play it when it comes to Steam.
If it never comes to Steam, I'll never play it.

I wish mods would auto-update. Can't be fucked to fix my modlist every time there's a patch.

>>719222526
yeah, and it's retarded. Having a client capable of accessing the mod database server and downloading and installing mods itself is already 99% of the way to having an in-game self-updating repository

I'm glad the devs had success with this game it's a good game and they showed you don't need steam to be successful just word of mouth and a well polished game.

If we use 150k copies sold they've probably made about 2.5-2.8 million euros.

Good for them.

marketing budget must be abysmal if we're getting daily shill threads here of all places

>>719222869
It's getting more popular because youtubers are making videos about it now.

>>719222869
>only shills talk about games that aren't triple A goyslop with 8 figure marketing budgets! talk about the latest Microsoft-Activisiontm releases instead!

As far as I can tell it's literally just another survival game with a temperature gauge (that you can easily mod into Minecraft).

Its main differences are making things more annoying for the sake of realism, which is fine I guess. Once I finish watching https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVbwW64-h7JuIZO8j7qtXa0lc96hF84L4 I reckon I won't ever need to touch the game

Is this like one of those hurrdurrcore Minecraft mods where you have to pan river water for an hour to get stones so you can craft a single twig?

>>719222869
>>719222943
>>719223001
bring back the ip counter

Just play minecraft

>>719222943
this game is a little more aesthetically pleasing than minecraft

>>719223129
Well its still minecraft with a new coat of paint.

Whats the end goal? The end goal of something like better than wolves or RL craft is the same shit, except its just more complicated enchanting.

>>719221208
I heard that the Dev's were going to focus on adding steampunk-y style stuff next for energy and machines, god I hope so, you need a boatload of windmill sails just to get a single machine working at a decent pace.
Would love to be able to recreate some of the tech from the games first chapter at home, have a boiler of some kind powering gas lamps all across my base would be great - would give some of the mostly useless ores a use too.

>>719223129
I'm not 8

>>719223129
If I wanted to play minecraft I'd play gregstech new horizons. Seems like a good beloved modpack that adds a lot of new things. I would not DARE to play minecraft vanilla even by myself let alone with friends.

Vanilla minecraft is so ass its boring unless maybe its an anarchy server

I fell for it years ago. It's just not fun and it's honestly quite ugly. The combat was also quite ass.

>>719223129
most of those farms are completely useless

>>719223608
Its going to get better. But I agree the sepia filter is ugly. I just turn it off completely, up the contrast and lower the gamma. It makes it look more green.

>>719223608
>The combat was also quite ass.
The dev is supposedly going to be prioritizing that - there was an interview he did after he hired a handfull of devs from the Hytale dev team to work on Vintage Story - supposedly they'll be working on revamping combat and adding in an action/adventure focused secondary gamemode.

>>719223763
>adding in an action/adventure focused secondary gamemode.

Why does this need to happen. Why cant they just focus on adding more systems like fishing, more world structures and stuff like bandits?

There's traders obviously so why not hostile NPC's? The world doesn't feel that dangerous once you avoid bears. I know they added the things that shoot spikes at you but its not enough.

>you WILL spend hours clayshaping
>you WILL spend hours trying to find fire clay/limestone/ore
>you WILL spend hours waiting for your crops to grow

>>719219560
New story, new areas, new builds (boats and shit like that), mounts, more basic mobs, more demon/Rust creatures, whole new boss.

>>719224002
Just plant a lot of them. VS is about doing multiple things at once. The early game is a lot of grinding and setting shit up like charcoal, chopping trees, claymaking but once you get a base, a saw and copper tools its really not that bad.

The stone tools are a filter for minecraft babys

>>719223910
uhh, from what little I remember things that are implemented for the secondary gamemode will also end up in the base game in some form, also the secondary gamemode was more of a way for the new devs to familiarize themselves with the developer tools for Vintage Story.

caves are pure shit. either infinite spawning or put torches everywhere like an idiot. fix your shitty combat tyron

>>719223129
tedium the game

gross

ill take my cozy farming sim

>>719222943

Tedium is spending hours to make a hobbit hole

Massive oak tree I chopped. Damn it feels good to be in copper with upgraded backpacks. Now I just have to work on leatherworking.

>>719225002
that's clearly an anglo-saxon pit house, a hobbit hole would be built in to the side of a hill

Should I move my shit just for the vibes? plains are probably better for visibility, farming, traversal and pretty much everything else, however, the valley looks pretty.

what do they do when it rains?

Flooding and torrential downpours when?

Starting my house build, exciting stuff. I'm going to add a balcony lookout on the side and another room possibly to the right as an extended kitchen.

>>719225340
do it, why not.
Its gravel too, makes it easier to see most bears and wolves.

My issue is that I never end up moving far enough down south, so I only have like 5 "months" I can really get any building or other stuff done in.

i fucking love bees, but this world has no fucking BEES, I NEED BEEEEES. BEES GIVE ME HONEY.

Anyone got interested in cooking after fuckin around with expanded foods. I get hungry looking at the crap i make in game

Gonna miss out on the elk ride but meh.

No.
I'm sorry I just do not like the minecraft look.

>>719225340
Vanilla map gen? I got these to jaggy useless mountains on them too much I only used terra pretty now. But yeah, multiple bases are good for you, I had multiple temporal portals spawning near my main base its unusable because of the bowthorn sniping and my temporal bar getting raped hard.

>>719226209
the anglo-saxons would only build those pit houses in areas with high drainage soil and the roof would overlap the foundation by a good bit.

what the fuck is wrong with notch bros? why is he such a loser shilling here?

>>719232091
ye

i'm still baffled by the fact that the lead dev thinks the combat is in a good state

>>719231985
Tyrone wants to sell it for higher on Steam to account for the Gabe cut and Steam doesn't allow that

>>719232228
whats wrong with it? spearing wolves then throwing it through their ass when they turn to run is fun

capturing animals to be livestock and breeding them is so cozy bros

I regret getting the amazing idea of burning a tree to get warm when I live in a forest, granted it was on the opposite side of the forest but its made the whole forest ugly. The next day when I saw it making its way to me I did do a panic cut down of local trees but it veered away from me all the same.

>>719230398
This. It's either a false flag to shit on the game/dev's reputation, or the dev utterly lacks any self awareness and just shills every other day while insulting anyone calling him out.

>>719232605
you usually want to burn forest around your homestead anyway so you dont get spawncamped by wolfniggers

Threads like this make me want the poster count back. The overly defensive and shilling posts here are telling, and I suspect it's just one faggot on a shilling campaign.

pigs are basically all you need in terms of animal husbandry if you just wanna "beat the game" and i guess bees so you can make better torches

>>719231502
I have a full plate armor and that fucking bell still sends shiver down my spine

>>719219250
Honestly my biggest gripe with caving in this game isn't even that you have to prepare meticulously, or that you have to advance carefully so as to not get overwhelmed, it's the fact that visibility is reduced in caves, I can't see a torch twenty blocks away from me even though I have a clear line of sight to it because of this gay ass cave fog.

>>719233029
do u need some world gen mods for shit like this

coolest thing in my game was probably a random open air limestone mine with an indoor pool

>>719233068
Wait, you can rope chicken? Shit...

>giving money to ukraine
lmao no

>>719233293
you can rope anything I think
but to lead animals they must be domesticated, otherwise they just get stuck to you
useful to have a friend build a hole around them

>one obnoxious faggot did this and became a billioaire so I must be an obnoxious faggot too!

>>719233251
Yeah I have TerraPrety: Plains and Valleys, RiversGen, and some random mod that adds the snow caps. Plus I usually bump the world height a tick above what these mods recommend to get some funky shit like this.

Does tempature even do shit? I never paid attention, even in winter I walk around with 0% rags.

>>719233464
>RiversGen
How does it compare to Rivers?

>>719233464
Not that anon, but get farseer too if you havent, feels more immersive since it will render mountain ranges beyond your view(or render?) distance.
>>719233564
I died once and woke up shivering and dying once trying to mine some desert copper. Most of the time I play on temperate.

>>719233564
I think its biom dependent but you can start to freeze in winter in temeperate forests and plains without winter gear

>>719233129
what's the point of pigs rather than sheep which you can feed with just plain old grass?

>>719233763
nta but i always have surplus of turnips and carrots after summer and its simply more convinient than going out with a scythe to just get grass

>>719233607
It doesn't add the waterwheel and stuff, just terrain gen. As far as I know.

>>719233649
Oh yeah I have farseer, it really pulls the view together.

>>719221208
I think we should get early steam machinery and a few magic shittery machines powered by the flux, but other than that I would hate to see the tech tree turn into some industrial minecraft mod slop

When the screen starts frosting over you are fucked and need to find fire fast, in some areas it will start getting bad if you've been out all day just before nightfall at 4pm.

>>719232410
Spear thrust sucks ass, may as well use a falx. Spear throw uses too much durability, wasting multiple slots for more spears.
Blackiron sword and steel falx are very underwhelming endgame weapons.
Bow sway with shot spread is unfun. The hunter class does not improve this either.
Arrow loss is nonsense, especially when you are going out of your way to smelt them or, God help you, smith them. I don't care if the arrow shaft breaks; at least return the heads to stick on a new shaft.
Shields are worthless; I am not going to freeze myself in the middle of combat to have a chance for it to maybe do something.
Armor is heavily discouraged so you have to waste inventory slots carrying around a separate outfit so you don't starve while riding your elk to where you're going to fight.
Several armors only exists as a noob trap because everyone skips them for the easier to make superior armors, just like pelt backpacks.
Dev puts ruined great axes and other weapons in as clutter with no way to repair them while also having entire sets made from repairing ruined armor. Also not a single weapon short of bombs has multi-target hitting/cleave.

Is this game worth buying in its current state? I dropped Minecraft when 1.0 was released because I felt like all the ender stuff was out of place.

>>719235015
Well if that's your problem with minecraft, then vintage story doesn't have that, the story stuff is pretty well integrated in to the world

>>719235015
no, try it for free first

>>719235015
If you like more realistic approach to minecraft then i would say go for it, 20 dolarinos is not that bad of a deal for what you get but if you are really unsure just pirate it and see if it clicks for you

>>719235015
I feel you, and I think VS kind of has that issue but not really. What I mean is that the game becomes unreasonably arcade and combat oriented if you want to do the story content, and it's for very little benefit. But then it's exactly because it gives so little reward that you can perfectly fine ignore it, and only do stuff like that when you're done homesteading and chiseling for five hundred horus and start to feel a little borad.

>>719235221
>Dolarinos

>>719232410
Its serviceable but too simple, easy, boring, and there's a lot of broken elements to it like animation desync, shivers clipping into you and bouncing you everywhere like a pinball, terrible enemy hitboxes, and so forth.

No

The game started its life as a submod of a popular mod (TerraFirmaCraft). They decided to go their own way so they could do what they wanted to do with it. Good, too. It's a pretty slick game, all things considered.

>>719233464
my only problem with those big mountains is that they are useless. to find shit in the game you need to travel on the x,y and those fuckers block them entirely since you travel at 1/5 the rate having to parkour up them. idk why these games dont just have a feature that automatically climbs blocks that are 1x tall as if they were half blocks. actually traveling around is the core aspect of this game and its just shit because of the vanilla mc mechanics.

>>719221208
Water wheels

The more I realize base building is an art and a skill the more I realize that I need a creative world to practice building.

Please don't spend a retarded amount of hours in survival mode planning what you want to do.

Go practice in creative and try out asymmetrical houses, different styles, lengths and widths, different block colors, floor plans. Everything is a skill, that's how the human mind works. Nobody is truly gifted at something it all takes learning at some point from some source.

Don't expect to build a beautiful house when you have no skill in it.

>>719233763
you get so much surplus animal feed from your farms that its whatever. also a single litter is like 10 piglets vs. the 1-2 baby sheep

>>719234787
>Spear thrust sucks ass
sounds like a skill issue bro flint spear op. also lets you poke to death shit in 3x3 pits like bears.

>>719236913
I like to improvise when i build houses and usually integrate them with the terrain that i chose to build them on as it is far more interesting for me than to preplan them in creative

>>719236738
I'm afraid you have the wrong kind of autism. The goal isn't the breeze through the content and then go complain on online forums. Mountains like these make for great fantasy base locations or just as backdrop to builds or shit to look at while travelling, or for landmarks for navigation. It's about the journey and all that.

>>719237179
And that's cool, but if I do that and then realize I don't like it 5 hours into resource gathering and 3 hours into building i'm quite likely to blow my head off with a shotgun, so i'll preplan as much as possible in creative

>>719236738
>idk why these games dont just have a feature that automatically climbs blocks that are 1x tall as if they were half blocks.
The elk mount does exactly that

>>719237564
That reminds me of Elin, I figured I'd make a really nice and fancy mansion for myself, I ended up making a monstrosity that I couldn't bare to look at. Luckily I did it in the part of town I didn't yet use so I just blocked it off and left it as a reminder for myself to keep things simple.
I've been saying I need a new house in Vintage story too, my current one is a bit small. I think I'll just build upwards instead.

>>719221208
water wheels, boilers, pumps, turbines whatever so we can have power but also things to move other things like pulleys, pistons etc

>>719228160
anyway to make it faster?

>>719238164
nvm found the settings

>>719237771
it should be a default feature, and elk should just up your ground speed and let you hop large distances.

>>719229116

Oh, I thought you spawned near the "Ecuator" of the map (does it even have that? only thing that clued me in a little were the world gen options).

>>719229941
>Vanilla map gen?
Yeah, not a fan of using mods untill I know what things I would like to be fixed/added.

how easy it is to pirate and mod?
iirc the game is hosted on a server even if you want to play solo

>>719240905
World gen mods are usually bug free, some might conflict with the dungeon gen mods or the story dungeon last time.The river mod can conflict too but mostly just looking ugly or meh rivers from the mod complaints page.

>>719241158
no idea about modding but the usual sites have it.

>>719223129
>posts example of exactly what made minecraft into dogshit

>>719241158
probably not too hard to find a pirated version that works
I'd check /vg/, I think there's a general for vintage story

i hope they dont fall into the trap of adding electricity or steampower. ther is so much cool shit pre industrial revolution 1 that would make the game much more interesting and appealing

>>719231593
The building in the top pic looks amazing
You just convinced me to buy Vintage Story.

>>719241158
Look in usual places
Mods hosted by the dev have a one click install when the game is running then click refresh mods
Yes, if you type /stop you get disconnected from yourself solo kek

>>719221208
Mechanically powered irrigation could be cool.

>>719241605
There will be steampower
It's on the roadmap https://www.vintagestory.at/roadmap.html
It will be probably resource expensive given how much coal steel consumes (and this is fine)

I caught 2 deer in a hole but they can't be bred or domesticated :(
their weight is low, will it increase if I wait? or should I just eat them now?

>>719242552
devs could literally copy-paste code to make deer domesticable but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MORE PIXEL FISH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>719219065 (OP)
I do play Vintage Story!

I play it with rifts turned off because rifts are retarded and can bypass walls, I play it with temporal stability turned off because I shouldn't be locked out of building someplace cool by sheer random chance (though if the ability to cleanse these areas and make them stable is added in the future, I'll turn this back on), and I play with temporal storm turned off because while that shit LOOKS cool there's literally zero benefit from engaging with it and I'd rather be actually playing the game than parking my character in a safety bunker to wait out the storm for ten fucking minutes while I go take a shit.

>>719242552
>deer
They can't be domesticated but fattening them up with food is possible

>>719242552
You need to feed them. Even if the deer and elks can't be domesticated or bred, they can still be fattened up. They are also a source of food that won't spoil, but that is less important in single player.

>>719219065 (OP)

Is this recent enough to give a good idea of the game?

Terra pretty or Plains and Valleys?

>>719241330
I decided to check the mod page very briefly, not disappointed.
I did see mods that make mobs leave trails of blood and get exhausted when injured, which were things I thought the game could have.
Ah the dilemma "do I mod this shit while I'm still early enough to not care about lost progress or do I wait to know exactly what I want to change".

>>719243012
yeah

>>719243012
The major thing you'll miss the story dungeon, progression hasn't changed much yet
Make sure to gen a fresh world with more ocean in 1.20 and onward to use the sailboat
New world > customize > world gen > land cover
Generally I do 70% for decent oceans

>>719243040
PaV with geology addon and strata varaiation and rivers

>>719243339
Landcover 50% and Landcoverscale 400% has the best oceans

>>719243041
I personally recommend the From Golden Combs mod. It adds those bee hive boxes you normally associate with bee keeping, as well as ceramic hives, which is apparently how Egyptians used to do it.

>>719243040
PaV seems to flat and too much rounded hills rather than mountains imo from the mod page, while you can still get imposing craggy mountains in terra pretty but not untraversable too much like vanilla spiny mountains and hills/valleys similar to PaV

>>719243362
Cool I'll check that out, gonna wait for all my mods to update before I jump into 1.21.

>>719243669

you can refill your bowl by picking it up in your inventory with the mouse curser then clicking on a crock pot in your inventory.

gnomes arent real stop bothering us

>>719243930
Rolling hills with sparse vegetations are nice but my game either the primitive survival or wildcraft tree mod or biome made them full of those smaller brush and weeds I cant see shit. Worst wolves attacks there than in the forest.

>Yeah I have TerraPrety: Plains and Valleys, RiversGen,
I thought TerraPrety wasn't compatible with other terrain mods and rivers?

Waiting for Firearms to update to the stable release, then I'll update to 1.21 and start a new world.
I really like this game but I need the carrot of eventually getting shitty blackpowder firearms to induce me to play.

>>719244487
Vintage Story's in game wiki is actually pretty good.

>>719244528
and that is another reason why its a damn shame that slash-and-burn farming isnt in the game

>>719244625
why even bother updating, this update had added literally nothing interesting

>>719244330
Combat Overhaul helps but isn't a cure-all. The combat still feels quite stiff.

>>719244685
Well, I want to see the new things, and make bone piles and check out the new hairstyles. Plus the world I was on (1.20) I'd got to the second part, but I'd added on Better Ruins and it gave an error with one of the big ruins not being added to the map so I want to start again.

>>719244548

>>719244685
Vanilla multiplayer is just better now. That's it

>>719244606
It's compatible with some. RiversGen can randomly cause it to generate chunks differently so sometimes you can see the chunk boundaries when adding it to the world later, but otherwise it looks good.

I'm perfectly capable of coming up with my own ideas while simultaneously reviewing the mistakes and successes of previous recorded attempts by other people. This is the basic fundamental pillar of education as a whole anon. It does not cheapen the experience to read that you can only boil water in a pot and not your hands.

>>719245960
Bowtorns can't oneshot you. It's pretty easy to hide from them, or just get a shield and you can literally facetank them. Shivers usually pop out of fucking nowhere and from that point on you have a very small chance not to be onehit or be torn apart by its burst attacks that you can barely block in time if you want to fight back. And you can also barely outrun it.

Aw shit, culinary artillery and expanded food isnt up to date yet.

how do I fix this? maybe a mod that makes this process easier by highlighting things? guess I can compensate by reducing the yield

just walk around and explore normally intstead of hyperfocusing on the ground while sprinting like a tard

Nugget or ores? I have visible ores mod and there are similar mods. If you have problem spotting those surface copper stone pieces, might wanna try look at desert biome, easier to the eyes.

>>719240905
>Oh, I thought you spawned near the "Ecuator"
Default spawn is pretty far north, which is why winters get pretty damn cold, and last so long.
If you don't tinker with world gen settings, the distance between the Equator and the poles is I think 100k blocks, in the north/south plane of travel. Your initial spawn tends to be closer to the first "north" pole, by how much I can't say.

he nerfed the satiation value of raw fish

Just pirated 1.21 and downloaded a dozen mos to give this a go. It better not suck

why are they adding ocean content at the rate of one feature per update instead of just working on everything related to it at once and releasing it in one update?
at this rate it's gonna take years before they add actual fishing

>>719255460
you forgot
>juan drops nothing, we don't want to encourage players to hunt juan :)

>>719255593
it's better to make hunter backpacks to get more inventory space first if you haven't made any linen sacks yet

>>719255593
you'll need a fursuit to survive the winter

>>719255970
still in spring right now I have time, just finished my first patch of coal

>>719255771
I would never make linen sacks, there are so many better uses for linen and by the time you have a consistent supply of it you should be more than capable of making actual leather. it's not like you're staying farming in the stone age for multiple years

>>719222147
>Worst feeling was looking for limestone for 3 irl days in a row.
Look up the Rock Strata Variety mod. It fixes some unintended issues with rock type generation in the base game so you get more sedimentary rock spawning. It's an old mod but it still works.

>>719256304
do I have to restart or just run really far?

>>719222147
seashells give some lime, traders sell it too
each seashell gives 2 lime, which is enough for 2 litres of limewater
(takes 2 litres per small hide)

>>719256240
leather is gated behind borax or lime which you are not guaranteed to find near your spawn
it took me 50 hours to find limestone in my 1.20 playthrough, flax is trivially easy to farm just by making a simple kill chamber in a busy cave near the mantle which you can make right after getting your first copper tools

>>719256647
Limestone can be a pain, but borax is pretty abundant.

I used to play on /vg/ and might play it again, but can't affording to no-life it anymore.
It was fun.

>>719255593
>is the armor worth it?
It feels like the best early game armor to be honest - 4 fat + 2 bear pelts + some rope and bones gets you a full tier 1 armor set with minimal negatives, AND boosts your temperature buffer for the cold.
Only issue is durability is shit, unless you get the right kind of bear pelts.

>>719256851
what bear has the best

It's a pretty great game for what it is, but combat is terrible and it already starts falling off and being less novel post copper age.

>>719219065 (OP)
Tried a couple of times, both time i dropped it after getting copper tools, sorry but walking a quadrillion kilometers to prospect shit for bronze/finding limestone for leather is not fun

>>719256914
Looks like Polar bears, followed by Brown and then Black.

>>719219065 (OP)
>le minecraft but more serious!!!
kys retards

prospecting fucking blows. Finding metals shouldnt be such a chore

>>719258447
Once you get steady source of copper its all downhill from there

It's got the same feeling as playing something like factorio but instead of the factory must grow, the township must grow. I love it.
The progression systems also seem to gate keep most from joining it which is also a plus.
>>719258563
Once you're at the Iron age and you have an iron vein you're not going to run out of it for at least 100 hours. By then you'll probably have found multiple new ones just from exploring the world.

Needs way more enemy variety, as well as letting NPCs move into your base. No i dont give a fuck about the NPC village that requires you to walk for hours across the map doing gay story bullshit. I want NPCs to live in MY base
