Valsalan Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 Having now put a few hundred hours into this game over the last few months, I can say that (for me) the most fun in late game Vintage Story is the colored ceramics and the chiseling. There's just something so rewarding about filling the shelves with pretty cooking pots, crocks, and bowls. Especially for my current build where I got really into alcohol brewing, and decided to make my two storerooms have color coded jugs for each type of alcohol present (something that took quite a while since I didn't find blue clay deposits until 265 hours into this world, so 2/3rds of the blue clay jugs were made from panned clay. No I do not regret the 15 or so hours of panning gravel to get it, it let me catch up on podcasts ). For those wondering the jug color/fruit pairings I use are: Tan: Apple Orange: Pear Red: Red Currant Brown: Cranberry Cream: White Currant Græy: Blueberry Black: Black Currant Fireclay: Cherry and Honey (when 1.22 comes out Cherry will go to the new Earthen Orange) Dark Brown: All types of grain alcohol (Rye and Spelt). I also deeply love the specialty ceramic jugs and flower pots you can buy from traders. And would love it if they also sold bowls and jugs in those patterns (since it would let me add more types of alcohol to my shelves, and also I think a beehive pattern bowl/jug would look really beautiful). Apart from just food, having smithing molds as an option, even if by the late game most of them aren't the most useful, is just wonderful to have. And the bricks and shingles options make for wonderful additions to any build. So this is my way of saying thank you to the developers of this game for making such wonderful things as the beehive kiln and so many types of ceramics. It really is the small things that makes this game so special. If anyone else has screenshots of their ceramic setups or beautiful things they have made in Vintage Story, please feel free to share them below. It's always so wonderful to see what people are getting up to. So I'll leave you with a picture of my dinning set up. And now I'm off to find more meteor impact craters, as I've decided I want to build a castle made of Suevite. For how many can boast to have a castle whose walls were shock metamorphosed by meteors? 8 1

I would say most of them are still quite useful. Traders will buy bronze tools and weapons, so the molds are handy for making some gears. As for useful tools for the players themselves, bronze axes are good for chopping firewood, and bronze shovels are good for digging if you don't want to invest in an iron/steel shovel. Bronze tools in general can also be useful as emergency kit/throwaway weapons, if you happen to have an accident or otherwise want to do something dangerous without risking your really good stuff. 13 hours ago, Valsalan said: I also deeply love the specialty ceramic jugs and flower pots you can buy from traders. And would love it if they also sold bowls and jugs in those patterns I'd like this too, though I'm not sure that some of the patterns would fit properly on small items like jugs and bowls. At the very least, it would be nice to have labels for jugs, similar to what crocks have, so that you could easily tell what kind of alcohol is in them.
