How migrate our inventories to an up-to-date world?

[Zaney_]

Me & my friends played a ton of vintage story around a year ago

We want to update out world to enjoy all the new features that've been added but also keep our progress. (items)

Is there a way we can cut and paste our inventories/profile data?

Also - how do we increase the amount of lakes/rivers when creating a new world? we hated our world a lot because there was barely any lakes/rivers to enjoy the boats with.
Any answers are greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Zaney

Welcome to the forums!

Unfortunately I cannot help you with the migration, but I can help with the generation of oceans. To my knowledge, rivers are not a thing, yet.

Oceans are not really present in the default preset, but you can enable them by playing around with the landscale options, as described on the World Configuration wiki page. Scroll down a bit to find the table with example screenshots and the corresponding options and their values used to generate this map. Hope this helps a bit!

Thank you so much, this really helps! We're thinking of installing a river mod too.

Solution for transferring inventories:

You cannot extract inventories easily because it's within the world/vcdbs file and would require hex editing knowledge.

So just stuff your items into a pile of chests, copy it as a structure with world edit and paste it into the new world.
