Ozon__ Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 Hi. Currently 28 hours in to my first world. I am in august and I want to start with leather. Winter is closing in fast and I have explored so much, but cant find limestone for lime. Any tips to search for limestone? Just explore? I am in copper age.
Solution Broccoli Clock Posted March 2 Solution Report Posted March 2 (edited) Hello, and welcome to the forums.. Chalk and marble will also do for lime, as well as sea shells, as they all crush down to the same powder. Which gives you a little more wiggle room in terms of what you need. If it's specifically for limewater (for leather treating) then borax will also do (in fact, it's preferred as it's much more efficient in terms of mixing ratio). Aside from RNG pockets of limestone, you do tend to find them near sedimentary rock - like you would in the real world - but it's just a case of searching until you find some, it's not a resource that will be prospected using the pick. Here is another thread posted on the matter just a few months back.. You can also find lime and chalk at Traders, I think it is the commodities trader that you should be on the look out for. There are entire biome chunks of limestone btw, it doesn't necessarily need to be in small patches. You can turn on the coloured map at world gen, or use a command line (press [tab] to bring up chat, enter it there). I can't think of it off the top of my head, but I'll go searching and add it to this post. Edit: I'm an idiot you are using the multicoloured map in your attachment, sorry..!

Ozon__ Posted March 2 Author Report Posted March 2 Thank you. Then I will go for a search for limestone, I guess that is easier than finding chalk and marble? I have seen some sea shells, in small quantity. Usually things at the trader is expensive and I have nothing to sell them. 1

Like almost everything in VS, it just depends on how your world generation rolled. 20 minutes ago, Ozon__ said: Usually things at the trader is expensive and I have nothing to sell them. Just for reference, you can use both the items they want as well as gears. You probably know that, but just in case you didn't. Trader maxxing is a thing, you can find traders that take very easily found resources and trade them for gears - for example some will buy peat. They won't take a lot, but it's easy to get so just build up a pile of peat near that trader and continue selling it when they want it. This is a complete list of what the traders buy/sell: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/Trading Traders reset their stock mostly within a week, not sure of the exact period, but it'll tell you at the top of the buy/sell dialog. Gears can also be found by looting chests in ruins, as well as rarer drops from some of the mobs. You will also find random gears, on their own, in the cave system. Edit: Panning! I forgot to mention panning, as that has a low chance of dropping gears. It also has a chance of dropping gems; peridot, emeralds and diamonds. These can be dropped in differing qualities; called potentiality and they range between low, medium and high. An artisan trader will buy them, but they need to match that potential. So a trader may be willing to buy emeralds but only high potential ones, not the others. Good luck hunting. Edited March 2 by Broccoli Clock
