Tyron Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.21.0, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager. How do we always end up with such a massive list of changes. Over 640 individual features, tweaks and fixes... this was meant to be a small and swift update! I really need to have a word with those devs... And you all are just as prolific! There are now 4000 mods on the mods db and so many inspiring builds showcased, so many players recording. How am I supposed to work if I get mindblown from your content every single day Well, here's to another milestone on this incredible journey that is creating Vintage Story - version 1.21! As mentioned in our previous blogposts the focus was the polishing of existing content, and we also added a few things that we could not finish in time for 1.20 but had planned, such as the coral reefs. With this massive update out of the way, we are very much looking forward to building another epic update with 1.22, this time jam packed with game mechanics Until then, we hope this update will keep you engaged! - Tyron Installation note: All installations of game version 1.21.0 will need .NET 8 runtime on the computer. Links to it are on the downloads page for various platforms (or the Windows installer offers to install it automatically). If you are updating a hosted server make sure your server host has installed .NET 8. Existing 1.20.12 (and earlier) game worlds can continue to be played in game version 1.21.0. We recommend make a backup copy of the world file first ... just in case. When continuing an existing world, the map should usually be seamless between old and new areas. Note that by default there were no oceans in 1.20, therefore a 1.20 world which had default settings when it was made will still have no oceans nor their content (such as coral reefs) when generating new areas in 1.21. That can be changed using the /worldconfig landcover command manually in-game, but a change to that after the world was already started will very likely result in hard straight-line boundaries in some parts of the map, so is not recommended.

Added coral cobblestone, coral fence and wavy sand Ocean content: 30+ types of ocean fish Ocean content: Large waves (WIP) Sailboat upgrades: Can now name the sailboat and attach shields Sailboat upgrades: No longer need to hold a key to sail, instead furl/unfurl sails Homesteading Content: Can now place more items onto shelves Homesteading Content: Added colored crocks, bowls, pots, vessels and watering cans Homesteading Content: Ground storage improvements.

Visual upgrades: Majorly reworked deer / moose animations New blocks: Ceramic tiles, 2 new iron door variants, new papyrus variants of reed-ware New blocks: Wooden paths are now woodtyped and 3D UI Update: Can now select text Game updates since 1.20 Feature: Ocean content Added 33 types of saltwater fish Added coral reefs in bodies of salt water Different reef types depending on water temperature (players may need to head south to see most) Schools of small fish near reefs, as entity particles Coral can be broken, yielding chunks of coral; these eventually decay into dead coral over time; live coral can only be placed in salt water, dead coral can be placed anywhere Oceans now have large waves (WIP) Added wavy sand blocks, for sand that appears underwater. Wavy sand blocks drop normal sand blocks when mined Added coral cobblestone and fence, which can be made from chunks of coral gotten from reefs Sea plants now emit air bubble particles Reduced underwater murkiness and darkness levels to make reefs more visible Fixed distance fade out terrain that's behind water not correctly blending Feature: Added text selection with a mouse and various other selection enhancements - PR by Genhis Feature: Added Colored crocks, bowls, and pots Feature: Added new raw and colored clay versions of storage vessels, watering cans, planters, and flower pots. [Details for modders: Added via new blocktype files ("...-generic"), and removing the raw version from the old blocktype. This leaves the old blocks in place in old name formats, so the only remap required is the raw blue clay versions, rather than having to remap every single pattern.] Feature: Add colored crucibles and metal tool and ingot molds Different colored ingot molds can be placed in the same block space Feature: New blocks Added solid and barred variants of the iron door (barred variant not suitable for a cementation furnace) Added three new red ceramic tile blocks and slabs, sold by an Artisan Trader Added wood-typed paths and wooden paths are now drawn in full 3D Added papyrus chests, hand basket and basket traps Feature: New and improved clouds Volumetric cloud rendering The old clouds look is still available through Graphics settings Fixed: Dark edges on distant clouds Feature: Elk taming system Can now tame wild elk to make them rideable. Added a large crate trap, to trap creatures larger than can fit into a basket trap. Use it to trap a baby elk. Feed said elk into adulthood within one year to get a partially tamed elk. Place a saddle on it and "saddle break" it once per day for several days to get a fully tamed elk Feature: Elk riding system tuning Feature: A tamed Elk now follows the player if it is tied to a rope, making leading a roped Elk much easier Feature: Two players can now ride an Elk by adding a pillion cushion on the Elk's back, behind the saddle 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: Add ability for bow, falx and blackguard sword to be stowed on Elk's front left and right utility slots (as well as cooking pot) Tweak: Added spot to hang a string of up to 3 temporal gears on the Elk (behind the right saddle bag location) Tweak: Player now cannot accidentally harm their own ridden mount Tweak: Improved mounted position of player riding Elk, in 3rd-person view Tweak: If an owned / mounted animal is damaged by owner / rider it will not turn aggro, but will instead flee a shorter than usual distance Fixed: Tamed Elk still attacking the owner Fixed: Elk looking alive following a server re-start after the Elk was killed Fixed: mounting a sailboat with a rope in hands that is attached to an Elk makes the sailboat fling wildly Fixed: Elk medallion (Stiletto) and Long gem studded bracelet should now appear in loot randomizers Fixed: Game crashing when harvesting a dead tamed Elk after server restart Fixed: Multiple animation issues in multiplayer with the Elk and Sailboat with other players mounted Fixed: When two different cooking pots are attached to the Elk only the left one's texture was shown on both sides Feature: World generation tuning Tweak: Majorly reworked landforms to be more easily traversable. Warning: For existing game worlds, will involve some automatic terrain smoothing between old chunks and new chunks, some changes may be abrupt [Details: if you have a world you have played or created in release candidate versions 1.21.0-rc.1 through rc.6, chunk border issues may remain, for these worlds it may be best to regenerate large areas or use the /dbprune command to remove all chunks except the ones actually built in. 1.20.12 worlds should update smoothly to 1.21.0. Fingers crossed. Take a backup copy just in case] Tweak: Enabled 2.5% ocean at 500% scale by default - walk far enough from spawn and you should find an ocean eventually [Tip: in new game customisation, World Generation tab, set landforms % to less than 97.5% to have more ocean than this] Tweak: Fixed an issue with ocean gen where high landform scale would produce very square shaped oceans Tweak: Added 3 new ruins, fine tuned a few others Tweak: Added small red clay deposits in soil and gravel in cold climates where clay previously did not generate Fixed: Worldgen creature spawning could sometimes spawn groups of baby creatures only (or more generally, companions only) Fixed: Chunk border smoothing system not working properly Fixed: Large world height worlds had less surface deposits [Technical info: Correctly scale surface deposit chance by deposit depth to world sea level] Feature: Slow healing system Healing items now heal over time instead of instantly Slow healing, as well as taking damage, is now visualized in the health bar Armor no longer nerfs healing amount, but instead increases the time it takes for the healing to apply Feature: In multiplayer, players can now revive other players using a poultice Feature: Reworked seraph faces, added many new types of faces in the character creation dialog Feature: Added several new hairstyles New base hairstyles: Bowl cut, Box braids, Dense dread locks, Long curls, Medium curls, Rows, Dense rows, Short curls, Short curls2 New hairstyle extras: Back bun curls, Puffy back bun, Box braid bun, Cobra side braids, Knots, Curly ponytailurly, Creast ponytail, Segmented top knot, Curly sidebuns, Side puffs, Skep bun, Top roll, Back roll, Back roll bun, Thick roll, Fishtail braid, Steppe sidetails, Steppe braid loop, Steppe braids Several more hairstyles available in the game from the barber (I wonder where one would find a barber?) Feature: Added bear hide armor A new craftable trophy armor with average stats Feature: Monster autoharvest! The falx now extracts 1 drop per hit with a 25% chance from drifters, shivers and bowtorns (overall drop rate remains unchanged). There is a reason a falx blade is curved! Feature: Moon and stars position now closer to a real astronomical simulation Moon phase now consistently correct, based on relative moon and sun positions Rendered moon lit side precisely faces the sun current position Moon apparent path through the sky is now close to the ecliptic Night-time star field rotates appropriately for the current latitude Night-time star field varies over the calendar year according to the seasons / zodiac Slight increase in full moon light strength, as our astronomically-accurate moon is on average a bit lower in the sky Feature: Added a world customization screen in the savegame modify screen Feature: Add "traverse" permission to land claims, in multiplayer this allows other players to use doors and trapdoors in such claims without being able to use anything else. This can now be granted to groups or players per land claim - or set AllowTraverseEveryone true to allow everyone to open doors in the claim Feature: 2nd story chapter adjustments Feature: All traders (for a small fee) can now direct you towards a Treasure Hunter trader near your spawn point to get started with the story in the first place Feature: Tad can now give haircuts and heal the player Feature: All villagers now have their own unique dialogue Feature: Added new short story found in the Lazaret Feature: Tobias will now give you some food for the journey home Feature: You may now confess to your crime if you hurt Charlemagne Tweak: Added more environmental storytelling to the Lazaret Tweak: Devastation area temperature now at a fixed 17°C, which removes the unintentional snow cover and players freezing there Tweak: Timeswitch skill is available again immediately if the way back is blocked; and base skill cooldown reduced to 1 second in Creative mode Tweak: Significantly reduced distances between the 2nd story chapter locations Tweak: Many tweaks and jank-fixes to villager animations Tweak: Many many fixes on Nadiyan clothing Tweak: Elevator now can now be unlocked on each level in the tower Tweak: A number of tweaks to Nadiyan villagers (added spear melee attack, they now attack monsters, added tongs, various tweaks to villager hairstyles) Tweak: Reduced cooldown on the rickety translocator from 6 months to 2 months Tweak: Devastation Area mob spawn: reduce the mob spawn speed, fix potential overspawn issues Feature: Sailboat/Raft improvements Feature: The sailboat is now primarily propelled by the unfurling of sails; holding the Forward/Backwards keys has only a small effect now Feature: Can now write on the side of the sailboat, to name it etc - use charcoal on the name plate near the bow on port-side Feature: Can now attach shields to the side of the sailboat.

Tweak: Resin harvestable properties are now documented in the handbook Fixed: Mention using knife to change pie crust in handbook recipe Fixed: Antlers now properly grouped in the Handbook Fixed: Search in handbook not working properly with diacritics (e.g. Nawóz) Tweak: Performance improvements Performance - reduce GPU RAM used. 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] Tweak: Performance: Improve FPS in large fields of grass, heather and similar plants. From 80 FPS to 100 FPS in one particular test case. [Technical info: if grass/plants are short, draw them with shorter faces using drawnHeight] Tweak: Server Performance: Optimised the most bottle-necking AiTasks when many animals are in enclosures 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) Fixed: Significant memory leak with ground storage piles Tweak: Command/Config updates Tweak: Add ability to disable desert storm effects per world via /worldconfigcreate bool suppressDesertStorm true Tweak: The /land info command now also shows the AllowUseEveryone and AllowTraverseEveryone settings Tweak: Make a few additional weather commands available also in release mode Tweak: /wgen commands now may validly use 0 as the range to only work on the chunk the player is currently in Fixed: "/whitelist off" and "/whitelist on" was not saved to config file Fixed: Disallow invalid day-of-time setting, e.g. via /time set 0600 Tweak: More ingame information Tweak: Crocks will show what's in them in their name Tweak: Crocks now visibly indicate the seal on the model Tweak: Added seal hours info text for barrel recipes Tweak: Added error messages when item can't be added to an animal trap Tweak: Show harvestable skeps in creative inventory and handbook Tweak: Added shelf interaction help; Standardized container information inside of shelves and ground storage Tweak: More crock labels for differing contents Fixed: Added a missing tooltip to the firestarter Tweak: Majorly reworked Deer animations 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: Stone path blocks can no longer be water-logged Tweak: Aged firewood can now be crafted from aged logs 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: When getting up from a bed you can now also stand up next to the foot of the bed 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.

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.

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: When attaching things to a EntityBehaviorContainer it now adds the inventory slot code as a texturePrefix to prevent textures being overwritten from another attachable 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.

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 Tweak: Crock shape now taken from the defined shape in the JSON, seal and labels must be in the same folder, will use hard coded paths as fallbacks Tweak: Crock label names for label models defined in JSON, for easier additions of extra labels Tweak: Crocks can take crockable items out of the liquid slot of a barrel now as well Tweak: Futureproofing neckwear - Modified all necklaces to use a rotator element for if/when we add player breasts Tweak: Wooden path recipe now uses explicit allowedvariants, for easier modding.

Teh Pizza Lady Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 Quote this was meant to be a small and swift update! I really need to have a word with those devs... And maybe the testers who submitted so many bug reports it made *my* head spin! 1

Moltrey Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 Thanks Tyron. This helps to soften the blow of losing my brother this morning to cancer, just a bit.

NotHughesy Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 What does this mean for unstable saves? Can we transfer them to the new build?

You could always try it and see what happens. Sometimes the unstable saves will port and sometimes they won't. As a general rule, it's not a good idea to start "permanent" worlds in unstable releases, as there's no guarantee that they will able to port to a stable release. 1
maxwelljensen Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 Was something else changed with fonts on Linux? No matter what font I pick in clientsettings.json (defaultFontName/decorativeFontName), it ignores the settings. It is a minor problem since the font that is being picked does not have accents.

Professor Dragon Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 (edited) Love the list of changes. Have just updated my world and will dive in soon. As an FYI to people, this will happen during the update process. 1) You can choose the in-game update at top left. 2) It will give a dialog asking if you want to make a backup. (I did, but that's up to you.) 3) The game will then give notifications in the General dialog box saying " Ok, generating backup, this might take a while." In the meantime, feel free to have a mild panic attack as all of your existing storage vessels and flower-pots can't find their texture (Red question mark on white block). 4) BE PATIENT, as the dialog says, and it will move after a while to "Ok will begin remapping, please wait until this has completed. The server will be non-responsive during that time." 5) After it is done, exit and restart Vintage Story for the changes to take effect, and things will be back to normal. ". . . You can now restart your game/server" And yes, I'm showing off one of my garden rooms. Professor Dragon. Edited October 17, 2025 by Professor Dragon Attachements resized to save space.

Professor Dragon Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 I'll say it . . . there is so much stuff - good stuff - in this update that I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. Colour clay items (O.M.G.) , protection from "rainfall", Nvidia GPU updates!, shelf changes, fluffy clouds!, Handbook recipes shown!, default ocean settings!, honeycomb in fruitpress, crock names now show contents, commands . . . It's definitely "kid in a sweet store" time. Everywhere there is a new wonder. It will take ages to appreciate all this. So, thank you Tyron and the Vintage Story team. ____ Will need to work out what some things mean though. I'm still "soaking wet" while wearing my Merchant Hat, so exactly what does this do? Protect from hail? Tweak: Hats now provide protection from rainfall 2 1
SiofraTural Posted August 26, 2025 Report Posted August 26, 2025 This update is so beautiful! I’m still fresh to the game and I started a new world that I’ve been playing a bit of after work. However today I just noticed after installing the update that the fruit press is not working. I constantly use it to juice a few berries at a time since nothing fruits at the same time. Just a buggy heads up! 1
isradarker Posted August 26, 2025 Report Posted August 26, 2025 What about the list of Supported 3d Party Hosting all of those will support this new update with .NET??

E.g. it will take 6.6x times longer with the straw hat. We might need to boost the numbers if the effect is too small. 2 1

As far as I can see in the creative inventory, the merchant hat doesn't provide rain protection. The only ones that do are some Nadiyan ones, the bamboo ones, and a small handful of others like straw and rotwalker. Realistically I think the effect should probably be applied to a few more of the hats, and maybe a couple cloaks/ponchos. 1 4
