Dear Homesteaders
v1.15.8-rc.1, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager.
While working on our next major update, I noticed our pretty ground fog system stopped functioning in 1.15, that with a couple other notable issues made another stable patch worthwhile. Also I think I finally fixed the bug with Left click+Drag distributing of item stacks!
Oh ground fog, how I missed thee.
Chiseled Painting event results
In other news, the popular community driven VS server Aura Fury ran a very fruitful chiseled painting event called “Essence and Moments of Vintage Story”. Contestants were required to create chiseled painting in survival mode with vanilla items only. They had to use their own materials, tools, and follow a set of other contest rules. 12 contestants competed for a set of prices that were to be awarded to the top two painting chosen by the judges as well as one contestant chosen by community vote as their favorite.
The judges Ashantin, copygirl and Saraty chose Eye of the Storm by Aorsak for 1st place and Winds of Hope by Ahueono for 2nd place. Three honorable mentions in no particular order were: Every Farmland's Nightmare by Rammgirl, Hyenas by Kendi64, and The Edge of the Dragon Ruins by Arkan. The Aura Fury community voted for Risk & Opportunity by Aledark as their favorite. The works turned in by everyone were astounding it was hard for both the judges and the community to decide the winners! Congratulations to all the winners and all those who joined!
