Alex Koch Posted July 29, 2025 Report Posted July 29, 2025 Hello everyone ! I recently downloaded the last version of vintage story (1.21.0-rc1) because the devs said they were pretty confident it would not break the 1.20 worlds. I updated, then I started my old world to see if it would work. First thing that appeared is a dialog explainning that a structure related to the main story could not be generated because there was some player constructions. There was a bunch of command for me to execute in order to make it generate somewhere else. The probleme is, I missclicked and closed the dialog... Now I can't find the solution anywhere ! If there is anyone that knows the steps of the process and the commands to execute, please help ! Thanks 1

Also this was just a fixed location treasure hunter trader so its not critical if you already found one. 1
Alex Koch Posted August 7, 2025 Author Report Posted August 7, 2025 Ok thank you I thought I'd miss an important part of the story !

TheRealBrainbug Posted August 26, 2025 Report Posted August 26, 2025 Yes please, where can one find an online version of that message that pops up after server update to 1.21.0 when story locations can not be created? There was something I had to do in creative mode, but when I closed the message it never showed up again. I see many people looking for this.
ErikderFreak Posted September 19, 2025 Report Posted September 19, 2025 Yeah me too. If someone has the instructions this would be nice.
Echo Weaver Posted September 19, 2025 Report Posted September 19, 2025 I think this error converting worlds was fixed in 1.21.1. If it's possible to convert your world again from backup, I'd do it. I tried to convert my (originally 1.19) world from 1.20.12 to 1.21.0, and I got that message. It even said it couldn't place a Treasure Hunter, and we'd literally just found one a few game-days before the update. That was a red flag to me that there was something weird going on, so I went back to my pre-upgrade backup and tried again when 1.21.1 came out. When I converted that time, I got no errors about story locations.
ErikderFreak Posted September 19, 2025 Report Posted September 19, 2025 I just now tried to update and had this issue. But I found it online and it's damn easy to spawn him in. Just go into creative with /gm c, take one out of the creative inventory, spawn him, and go back to survival with /gm s

I guess that means it wasn't fixed for everyone. That solution is technically correct, but since the first story quest is essentially finding the Treasure Hunter, I wouldn't be wild about just cheating it in where I was standing. I don't know if there's a way to do it in a way that doesn't kill gameplay because I also didn't get all the details from that error message when I got it. Seems like that information should be presented to the user in some way it can be easily found again.
