Tyron Posted July 22, 2025 Report Posted July 22, 2025 Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.21.0-rc.1, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager. Over 61% of you requested us to finish/polish existing content, so this update's main focus was just that. We've worked on better interactivity with blocks, more ground storage options, more documentation in the survival handbook, a better control scheme for the sailboat, more traversable terrain, more polished cloud visuals, adding the awaited elk-taming system, many adjustments to the 2nd story chapter to make it more approachable and more rewarding. And tons of bugfixes. Included in that list of fixes are two long-standing issues: ghost players seen in multiplayer games, and animals sometimes escaping their pens if the player leaves the area - at least we covered the main causes for those, time will tell if we found them all. On the engine side we have launched several large scale cleanup/polishing projects such as the slow introduction of the C# nullable context file by file, a major rewrite of the entity AI tasks, major file system level cleanup of our entities, and a Tags system for entities/blocks/items useful for modders. We also now run the game on .NET 8 with plans to go to .NET 10 in a future update. Can I start playing 1.21 now? We are decently confident that your v1.20 or older worlds will not break. If you want to be on the safe side, wait until the stable release. (But we recommend now not continuing a world you created in any of the pre-releases of 1.21.) We would highly recommend making a backup copy of your 1.20 worlds before upgrading the game to 1.21 - for example, although it has terrain smoothing, there is still a potential that the -rc.1 release will create chunk borders for some, due to changes in worldgen. v1.21 still unfinished / known issues The barber's hairstyling dialog is unfinished. The large ocean waves do not affect swimming entities. The new moon shader visuals might need some tuning. The Tags system for modders is a work in progress Forging ahead We'll now slowly shift to working on version 1.22, which we in the Team are all extremely excited about. We plan to focus primarily on game mechanics this time, especially mechanical power. Personally I'm looking very much forward to doing more dev streams where we can build new game mechanics together live. Secret Game Project™ In other news, we are also able to reveal our first teaser trailer for the secret game project that Anego Studios began working on a couple months ago. There is currently one developer working on it full time and it will be completely a separate game project, there is no lore or content shared between it and Vintage Story. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtYq59ka3vE Vintage Story "Adventure Mode" In other other news, the very recently announced new game mode that will focus on a brighter, RPG-y version of Vintage Story is also in the works, currently we are still in very early planning and negotiation phase, so nothing to show here just yet. It will take some time until we'll have something of substance to share. Final Words That all being said, thank you to everyone for playing Vintage Story, contributing to the online discussions, reporting bugs, submitting pull requests and all the other cool stuff y'all do! We hope this update will bring you joy.

Reduces the GPU RAM usage of terrain by approximately half. Some players can now try higher view distances, it may allow you to increase your view distance above your hardware's previous limit. As an additional benefit it may also save almost 1GB of process RAM in Windows with certain graphics drivers, such as Nvidia. If you need to disable this change, the setting can be changed in-game using command .cf allowSSBOs off or edit clientsettings.json file and look for "allowSSBOs". Changes to this setting are only effective after re-joining the world. It may affect framerate by -5% to +5% (depends on hardware, view distance, other graphics settings, and scene). [Known issues: GLTF and .OBJ models might not render correctly in-game, if the "allowSSBOs" setting is enabled. Setting is not available (and off by default) for MacOS and other hardware not supporting at least OpenGL 4.3, this is outside our control. If you already played game versions 1.21.0-pre.1 / 2 / 3, you will need to use command .cf allowSSBOs on to enable this setting, as in such cases it was off by default] Reduce duration of occasional lagspikes due to garbage collection [detail: the number of permanently held small memory objects is reduced by 350k (servers) or 700k (single player), or more in modded games, allowing the garbage collector to complete its work faster; the garbage collector must run sometimes, typically there can be up to 3 such lagspikes every 5 minutes of gameplay] Small server RAM reduction [detail for modders: servers no longer retain block and item render transforms] Faster worldgen for large water bodies [detail: reduce array allocations in underwater blocklayers generation] Fix one potential memory leak on long-running multiplayer servers [detail: it related to protobuf] Save RAM on both client and server when many entities are spawned (should also slightly improve multiplayer server TPS for spawning times) Reduced RAM use for animations on both client and server Client-side, slight improvement in tesselation speed (3%-4%, YMMV) Tweak: The /land info command now also shows the AllowUseEveryone and AllowTraverseEveryone settings Tweak: A small shader tweak seems to greatly mitigate black pixels around water / water waves Tweak: Carcasses now have more size-appropriate hitboxes Tweak: Glue is now a regular liquid and can be picked up with and used in bowls and so forth Tweak: Slightly nerf block light level boosts introduced in 1.20 Tweak: When joining Multiplayer, on the modify server screen, added "Copy to clipboard" button for the server address Tweak: Improved map marker position tracking for tamed elk [detail: the client now updates the ownership position to last-known position when it de-spawns client-side; the server updates the position in OwnershipsByPlayerUid when an entity is loaded; this means now the Ownership data should contain the last known position of an ownable, may help to track down missing elks] Tweak: When a support beam's selection box was out of bounds it became unselectable; now it is moved into bounds, albeit still not exactly at the location one would expect Tweak: Give back stick after squeezing cheese Tweak: Crocks now visibly indicate the seal on the model Tweak: When getting up from a bed you can now also stand up next to the foot of the bed Tweak: Added seal hours info text for barrel recipes Tweak: Added shelf interaction help; Standardized container information inside of shelves and ground storage Tweak: Moved server configs "allowFallingBlocks" and "allowFireSpread" to the worldconfig Tweak: Add vegetables and fruit mash to small trough Tweak: Some rare ruins artifacts now scrap-able (i.e. can recover material from them) Tweak: Tutorial will now take into account items already collected for collection steps Tweak: When there are no worlds the single player world list page will show a centered message and button to create a world Tweak: Cheese now requires more shelf space to place when larger than 1 slice in size Tweak: Could place chests outside the Tobias cave but not use them, now they can be placed and used Tweak: Cooking pot attachedshape models now attached to a shape separate from elk body, to more easily allow adaptation to other animals.

New Refactoring Project: From 1.21 onwards we will begin transitioning all Entity AI to a tag based system insted of using entity codes. Currently implemented: Tag registry, tag definition in the ai tasks. Still missing: Actually migrating the ai tasks to use entity tags. Likely to be completed for 1.22 New Refactoring Project: From 1.21 onwards we started refactoring all AI tasks. They are currently available in refactored mode by suffixing the task codes with "-r". Likely to be completed for 1.22 Feature: Added Tags system (WIP) Feature: Allow worldgen mods to specify their own worldgen/structures.json , worldgen/villages.json and also worldgen/storystructures.json along with their own worldgen/story/storyStructureCode/structures.json to easily add more structures to the various systems Feature: Fruitpress can now output a different item than dry mash when mash is fully juiced Feature: New Squeezable collectible behavior replaces hardcoded honeycomb item class Feature: Grid Recipe crafting: Added mergeAttributes to grid recipes that specifies ingredients which attributes will be merged into output stack. Allowed use of regexes in ingredient code. Allowed use of '{variant}' construction in ingredient code wildcard, several variant groups can be used in one ingredient and across ingredients, allowedVariants and skipVariants for them are specified separetly in recipe. Feature: For block textures, tiles and overlays can now be used together Feature: Can now limit certain items from being put into traps Feature: New IShelvable interface to define whether an item can fit on a shelf based on an ItemStack in code because a collectible attribute won't work Feature: Half and full shelf layout placement of large items on shelves Feature: Species other than chickens are able to use the hen box if they use a matching nest type Feature: Henbox now able to store and display different egg item types Feature: Now all paramters for drifters to turn into crawling type is configurable from json. Feature: AI task SeekBlockAndLay now supports multiple chick types (such as male and female) Refactor: Heavily reorganized the folder structure for entities and their models and textures Refactor: The newly introduced slow heal/damage system is now merged into the BehaviorHealth system so that hp affecting foods can also use the effect Tweak: Old iron door json and shapes moved to legacy folder. New format iron door json now under metal/door, rather than metal/iron/door. Iron hatch shapes also moved from metal/iron to metal/door folder. Tweak: Allow structures, storystructures and villages to specify AllowUseEveryone: false (default: true), AllowTraverseEveryone:false (default: true), ProtectionLevel (default 10). This is used by the village , tobiascave and treasure hunter to limit usage only to doors so you can enter but not take items and open chests. Tweak: Added OnTestBlockAccessClaim to the event wich is the same as OnTestBlockAccess but also includes the tested claim if there is one. VSLib methods TriggerTestBlockAccess, testBlockAccessInternal and GetBlockingLandClaimant have also changed to provide the claim instead of only the claim owner name Tweak: Added interface IProjectile. It is used to decouple spawning of a projectile from specific projectile class. Allows to use any projectile class that implements this interface in all code that uses it to shoot a projectile Tweak: When loading traits or character classes the game will now check if the vanilla traits/classes order has changed, or traits/classes were removed, and prints warning in logs. Removing or changing order of vanilla traits/classes can cause compatibility issue Tweak: Added EntityBehaviorGait, update EntityBehaviorRideable to use it Tweak: Fox, moose, deer and goat entity jsons split into separate 'baby' and 'adult' jsons Tweak: Fixed typo in DamageSource IngoreInvFrames field Fixed: Dead players having non-zero health Fixed: Ground storage restricts maximum stackable height properly Tweak: New IsFood property for cooking recipes, to avoid dirtying the cooking pot Tweak: Liquid ingredients in meals can have nutrition set per liter Tweak: Cooking recipes can now have different quantities of items per stack Tweak: Use GetCollectibleInterface for IContainedCustomName Tweak: Use GridRecipe in CollectibleBehavior.OnCreatedByCrafting Tweak: Allow maximum swivel angle to be defined in entity json Tweak: Traits & CharacterClasses can now be loaded from multiple files, you no longer need to json patch these files Tweak: ItemStone damage now json configurable Tweak: For entities with milkable behavior, made lactatingDaysAfterBirth and milk liquid stack configurable Tweak: Custom bloomery capacity in json; allow custom ore capacity in bloomery via collectible attribute "bloomeryCapacity" Tweak: Allow custom barrel sounds from json config Tweak: various changes to basket traps: basketCatchable property replaced by trappable, see vanilla creature jsons for examples The basket trap no longer defines bait by food category, now only by food tags Traps can now define a min weight value for bait, and food tags can include a weight value For both basket and crate traps, render transforms can be defined for the bait, can be different for different trap types. See vegetable.json, carrot attribute "inTrapTransform" for an example Tweak: Chests and other storage in ruins and dungeons can have contents refresh for each player: to create such a chest, use command: /giveblock chest-east{isPerPlayer:true} 1. The inventory can be seen and modified in creative mode, ctrl click clears a slot. Command: /dev pplr l[] resets all player usages for this chest Tweak: For creatures, gallop/trot sound is now configurable in json Tweak: In creature diets, one additional food tag: "egg" Tweak: (experimental!) added /debug chisel genshape command to generate a json model from a chiseled block Tweak: Added StoryLockableDoor and /dev storylock command to add locks to doors in story structures Tweak: Entity spawning temperature and rain condition tested Y coordinate now always at 109% of sealevel instead of at the current spawnposition, should prevent for example Arctic creatures spawning on tropical mountaintops Fixed: Wolf (and other entities) with a SeekEntity attacking AITask with a null leapanimation specified, no longer default to "jump" Fixed: CompatibilityLib was not replacing assets Fixed: Blended texture overlays not working when using different domains Tweak: For coded mods only, in the unlikely event that in your code you need to adjust AnimationMetaData for a single instance of an entity only (not for all entities of the type), if you need to change or add to these fields or Dictionaries, please .Clone() it first: .Attributes, .TriggeredBy, .ElementWeight, .ElementBlendMode, .AnimationSound Tweak: In server-side code paths, Block and Item render transforms are now set to null after server startup is complete. This may produce exceptions in mod code if mods attempt to access these transforms server-side (should be unnecessary server-side) Tweak: BlockBehavior.OnBlockPlaced() is now called after any BlockEntity for the block is created (until now, it was called before creating the BlockEntity) Tweak: IAnimator now offers a TryStartAnimation() method, does nothing if the animation is not available Tweak: Added IsAir property as a mod-compatible way to replace checks for block ID == 0 Tweak: new method IInventoryManager.CloseInventoryAndSync(): if called client side, closes the inventory and sends a syncing packet to ensure .CloseInventory will be called on the server also Tweak: Possibility of specific slot icons and colors e.g. for hotbar and armor slots; in code, can be changed dynamically at runtime Tweak: Add wildcard and regex support to BehaviorUnstableFalling exceptions Feature: Added OnGetMiningSpeed, OnGetMaxDurability,OnGetRemainingDurability,OnDamageItem and OnSetDurability to CollectibleBehavior Tweak: Coded collectible behaviors can now implement/override OnTransitionNow() [thanks to Dana] Tweak: Coded collectible behaviors can now implement/override OnHandbookRecipeRender() [thanks to Dana] Tweak: Coded mods extending BehaviorGrow can use overrideable BecomeAdult() method to transfer attributes etc from child to adult entity [thanks to sekelsta] Tweak: Farmland/CropBehavior class tweaks, added more parameters to the TryPlant and OnPlanted methods for CropBehavior modding Tweak: Less hardcoded EntityBehaviorMilkable Tweak: BEAnvil.cs now uses .GetInterface() instead of casting to get the IAnvilWorkable instance Tweak: Clay oven: Don't hardcode ovenFuelShape Tweak: Clean up berry bush code to be more moddable Tweak: More moddable crop seeds (use .Variant[".."] in ItemPlantableSeed.cs) Tweak: Use GetInterface for ICombustible, instead of "block is ICombustible bic" Tweak: Update GuiComposer to allow setting of TitleBar key via method argument Tweak: Remove NetServer.Name and ConnectedClient..FromSocketListener and use ConnectedClient.IsSinglePlayerClient instead of testing the socket for a DummyTcpNetServer Tweak: Ability to disable UI switches and sliders Tweak: new method ITesselatorManager.CreateMesh() including a texture source builder (for example used in vanilla by the Scroll rack, Bookshelf and Antler mount); ShapeTextureSource is now accessible through the API Tweak: Animal traps can now specify "destroyedDrops" in attributes Tweak: new block/item attribute "displayedShape", used to specify shape on shelf, in trap, etc. Tweak: healing item determines if it should be affected by 'healingeffectivness' stat instead of every healing being affected by it non conditionally. Tweak: A damage source can now decide to ignore invulnerability frames Tweak: Added a logger parameter to BitmapExternal constructors that can fail Tweak: Allows all AI task types to be enabled/disabled during certain hours Beforehand; only the idle task could be specified to happen in certain day time frames, using the "duringDayTimeFrames" property. This makes it so that all AI tasks can use the day time frames system. Properties without "duringDayTimeFrames" will act as normal. Tweak: NumberInput UI element only allows typing in valid input Tweak: Added IconPath to the ModInfo class, which now also gets loaded from json. Tweak: the shader shadowmapgeneric is re-named to chunkshadowmap Tweak: when the engine creates meshes from shapes, the order of the vertices for some faces (S, W, Down) has now been changed to a consistent order on every face. This should not usually affect mods unless they need to fetch individual vertices by vertex index: some of the vertex indices have changed. In rare cases this may also have an effect on the order of windmode/winddata specified in shape files for plants etc, please re-check that your plant models still look OK in-game. Tweak: IServerConfig.MaxClients now also returns the proper value if the --maxClients command line overwrite was used. ServerConfig.GetMaxClients() now gets its value from IServerConfig.MaxClients and is no longer needed. If you modify IServerConfig.MaxClients it will update the serverconfig.json and also update the value of --maxClients if it was specified at server launch. Tweak: Allow NatFloat Offset to be used in BlockDropItemStack properly Tweak: Store chick data as attributes on egg item Tweak: Marked the ModInfo property on WorldConfig as JsonIgnore, this property is set internally and should not be deserialized form worldconfig.json. Tweak: Load pie crust top types from JSON Tweak: mount points on rideables like the elk can only be mounted if the slot is empty or has a saddle or seat in it, this allows for slots to be used as attachable storage and as a mount point Tweak: IAnimalNest.TryAddEgg now takes an egg itemstack with chick info set in attributes Fixed: Clayform looks for clay and clayworkitem in the proper domain Fixed: IsFood cooking recipe property properly serialized and stored Fixed: Allow entities to lay eggs hatching into a different mod domain Fixed: Incorrect clamping of some NatFloat values Fixed: Method AllocateTextureSpace() was not working correctly Fixed: Exception thrown when a block is broken and a trait modifies it to 0 drops Fixed: Game crashing when mortallywoundable is used on non-rideable entity Changes since pre.3 (also included above) Feature: List when an item can be placed on/in bookshelves, scroll racks, antler mounts, and crocks in the handbook - ATP-Kraken Feature: Added coral cobblestone, which can be made from chunks of coral gotten from reefs.

Warmbo Posted July 22, 2025 Report Posted July 22, 2025 I am very excited for these changes. I have one small suggestion: >Feature: In multiplayer, players can now revive other players using a poultice Player revive should be non-trivial and require a temporal gear as default. With poultice, death becomes less consequential. A temporal gear also fits with the mechanics/aesthetic of using a temporal gear to set spawn. I heard about this change outside of the forums but couldn't verify it here until this announcement, otherwise I would have voiced this suggestion earlier. If I should post it someplace else, let me know. 2 3
Voldemort Posted July 22, 2025 Report Posted July 22, 2025 (edited) Thanks for the bug fix update. Now I need to go hibernate and wait until 2026 or 2027 for the content update. Edited July 22, 2025 by Adnyeus 2 5

Echo Weaver Posted July 22, 2025 Report Posted July 22, 2025 I see wood paths have 3D and variants. Do stone paths?

Not to sure what the issue is with patching up a wounded ally before they totally expire.

I think Tyron means revive as "heal", like you can heal another player with a poultice in your inventory the same way you would heal yourself. I don't think he means revive as, "Bring back a player who has died." 3

DEV24 Posted July 22, 2025 Report Posted July 22, 2025 I cant till the soil anymore? Made a flint hoe but I cannot even till the ground, right clicking just does the animation but nothing happens to the soil.
Teh Pizza Lady Posted July 22, 2025 Report Posted July 22, 2025 Very sneaky chapter 2 update there... now I'm all curious what you did. 1

Quoya Posted July 23, 2025 Report Posted July 23, 2025 uhhhh it is wonderful, thy for your hard work.
majestik Posted July 23, 2025 Report Posted July 23, 2025 It is probably silly, but I am exited for the new blocks, like the corral cobblestone and red ceramic tiles 3
Eaterr Posted July 23, 2025 Report Posted July 23, 2025 Very excited for those changes ! One question, will launching a 1.20 world automatically update the world gen parameters to include the new oceans or is there a manual step that is necessary ?
Rhyagelle Posted July 23, 2025 Report Posted July 23, 2025 God, I love this game! Thank you so much for the update! I seriously cannot wait to see what the future will bring us!
Wahazar Posted July 23, 2025 Report Posted July 23, 2025 Lot of cool additions to boat, but can we have functional anchor? I mean, anchor which can pin boat against flowing water? No issue with vanilla (yet), but would be very handy for players using rivers mod.

Dark Thoughts Posted July 23, 2025 Report Posted July 23, 2025 23 hours ago, Tyron said: We plan to focus primarily on game mechanics this time, especially mechanical power. Oh yes please! My personal wish list would be pulleys, rotors and some sort of inverter to make things like elevators, draw bridges, gates, portcullis, etc. along with conveyors and being able to place the large gears on walls & upside down - maybe also more interesting machinery, like saws for example. Like, there's Linear Power but would it not be cooler if we could smith some big ass circular saw that you push logs into? 3
TeaJay Posted July 24, 2025 Report Posted July 24, 2025 Any ideas how long it'll be until RC to stable? How long was it with 1.20? I'm asking because I have some friends looking to start playing, but it'd probably be wiser to wait a bit to get the proper version out and perhaps some mod support in.
Maelstrom Posted July 24, 2025 Report Posted July 24, 2025 (edited) It varies, but usually a few weeks. Now that the first RC is out, I expect to see patches showing up for the next 3-6 months or so. If you want a more accurate indication just scroll through the news forum for Tyron's announcements for previous versions. Edited July 24, 2025 by Maelstrom 1
Edgeville Pker Posted July 24, 2025 Report Posted July 24, 2025 I just want to say that I'm very excited for the more RPG version of Vintage Story. I was extremely excited for Hytale and bought VS just to support you guys since you seem to be doing good stuff. Hopefully we can see some in engine footage of the new mode by the end of the year. 4

You may not have seen the place where the game's plot begins. If you bring the Tin Bronze Pickaxe to the Treasure Merchant (he'll ask about it), he'll tell you where to go. This is where the adventure begins, and the long journey to find answers. This journey doesn't require technological advancement. But without it, it won't be easy. Yes, we could imagine a wider range of adventures while watching Hytale cutscenes. But I think this way of getting to know the history of the game world will also captivate you for a while. 2

AnniPicto Posted July 24, 2025 Report Posted July 24, 2025 11 minutes ago, Facethief said: What? I'm not sure I understood your question correctly. I assume that you (like many players) do not know that in addition to a simple sandbox, the game already has special places that complement the history of the world. (I will also note that the game has books and notes of those who lived during the apocalypse. It can be found in ruins or filtered from the soil with bones. And the game has also tapestries that can be collected entirely, hung on the wall and, looking at them, learn a piece of history) I will hide the rest under the spoiler, so that those who have already gone to forge a pickaxe from tin bronze do not spoil their pleasure from independent exploration. Spoiler The game has two bosses, a place where people are more talkative (than merchants), and they give several quests. The plot is not finished yet. At the moment, it leads to a person who knows more than us about the causes of the apocalypse. He will tell a lot (even about who the players are) and give a hint about the next update of the game.
