Popular Post Tyron Posted Tuesday at 04:53 PM Popular Post Report Posted Tuesday at 04:53 PM Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.22.0, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager. Well, here we are again. Another update is ready for everyone's enjoyment. We recommend everyone to update to 1.22.0 now, unless you need to wait for mods to update. In this update we focused heavily on bringing you new and improved game mechanics. No extravagant update blog post blurb this time - I'm out of ideas and I just keep repeating myself every major update anyway lel. Suffice to say, we hope you enjoy this absolute unit of an update, encompassing over 700 individual features, tweaks and fixes! There is more content that we came close to finishing and for which we might make a smaller update before 1.23: Inventory Item/Block sounds More procedural dungeon content Mechanically powered bellows In-Barrel/Crate content visual rework Metal tier mechanical power (and once that is available, then wood tier elements turning too fast may ignite ... !) Update trailer video Screenshots and Gifs Added cabinets and much improved storage system, allowing voxel-precision mixed item placing on cabinets, including books, clothing, chiseled figurines, all previously storable 1.21 items, and more! Cabinets are wood-typed and can be upgraded with cabinet doors. Added fishing system with fish bait preferences and location-specific fish populations Added mannequins to display your clothing Added over 20 species of freshwater fish Fish behavior rework. They now quickly escape melee weapons, and killed fish are collectible as a whole Added Taxidermy for caught fish. Displayable on the antler mount block - now renamed to just "Wall mount" Major forge rework. Updated model, added optional bellows, added metal tongs, fuel types matter now, and more Tool head quenching and tempering system: Quench items to improve their power value or durability (but not both) Added grinding wheel. Lets you sharpen tools for a critical hit bonus (WIP) Added waterwheels New type of rivulets: The Rapids. A comparison with the standard rivulet on the right Mechanical power upgrades: Added large windmill, in-wall axles and spur gears Added snow shovel mechanic Fully rebuilt trader outposts Added the first iteration of dynamic dungeons to Survival mode Trader clutter: Trader outposts are further individualized to the type of trader inhabiting the place Oil & Fat mechanic rework Added iron and steel spears. Each spear now has its own spear head model Boar rework: Full model overhaul. Added huge variant, warthogs and red river hogs. Two new farm-able crops: Fennel and Licorice - specifically added for fishing Eight new Mushrooms Added side effects from eating certain mushrooms Fully reworked berry bushes with rare traits and a more in-depth propagation system Four new flowers: Bluebell, Ghost pipe, Daffodils and Mugwort Refined tule plant textures Added 6 new hair colors Fully reworked Trader models Added many new clothing sets for the player Papyrus chests now have their own model and texture Sleek doors texture rework and they now have a glass window Oil lamp model reworked and ground storable Added wood typed ladders Added 8 new variants of storage vessels Added earthy orange ceramic color Added travertine rock type and block variants Added survival mode craftable clay tiles Tweaked glass textures. Smaller frame and textured reflections More new blocks: Aged acacia planks, aged bookshelf, fence and scroll rack (the previous aged ones are now "very aged"), leather decor, smaller lanterns and light mudbrick slabs Can now attach chiseled figureheads to sailboats Added crowbar for easier removal of wooden beams Added crock labels for fruit jam Placed backpacks can now be opened Creative mode tool: Can now place decor (such as moss or dust) on most blocks Reworked bighorn sheep model and added mouflon sheep Creative mode tool: Added entity mover wand Game updates (everything since 1.21) Feature: Fishing System Fish rework Added over 20 species of freshwater fish Fish now require large bodies of water to spawn Killed fish no longer sink to the bottom, requiring to be harvested. Instead they float up as a collectible item Fish now flee very quickly if melee attacked Some fish - arapaimas, pike, piranhas, and sheatfish - may attack players if cornered. Red-bellied piranhas are especially aggressive towards injured players Fishing pole Craftable fishing pole from sticks or bamboo Casting with a fishing pole launches a bobber, which floats on the water and signals when a catch happened The fishing pole catches fish that you can physically see and sometimes also small, juvenile versions You can also (very) rarely catch 8 rare collectibles exclusive to the fishing system Fish distribution system Fishing in the same location eventually depletes the fish in that area Different types of fish can be found at different locations, so you will need to travel to find every kind of fish Fishing bait Without bait, catching a fish will take much, much longer Added Earth worms and Worm Grunter to catch earth worms. Worms frequency depends on rainfall and temperature and also depletes over time if over-harvested in a given location Can now cook stink baits from fennel and licorice plus meats and dough Fish collecting Dead fish can be preserved (taxidermy) and placed on mounts for display. Added zinc sulfate and crushed sphalerite, which is required for the taxidermy process Feature: Forge rework Added fancier Forge model Tongs now have durability. 1 durability point is subtracted per each item picked up Added metal tongs, which provide 10x to 100x the durability of wooden tongs Added bellows. Reaching higher temperatures in your forge now requires a bellows Forge fuel types. Fuel quality now determines heating temperatures and duration Can now also heat up tool heads in the forge Creatures standing on lit forges will now get damaged Glowing hot ingots can ignite unlit coal in the forge Feature: Quenching and Tempering system You can now improve their power or durability of tool heads by quenching them, but at the risk of potentially destroying the tool instead The chance of destruction can be reduced by tempering the tool, but with diminishing returns each time you temper Quenching can be done in barrels of water or pools Throwing hot items onto lake ice will cool them down and may melt the ice Covering the tool heads with clay before the quench increases durability, if uncovered increases the power value Feature: Tool buffing system with the grinding wheel Added grinding wheel to sharpen bladed weapons A sharpened weapon adds a critical hit chance, at the cost of durability. A critical hit is +100% damage New Sound Tracks Added "Latvia" sound track, plays at Latvian latitudes Added 4 village exclusive tracks, one per season Feature: A first, proof-of-concept fully dynamic dungeon now spawns in Survival mode.

As of 1.22 you can now use tags for all crafting recipes. In future updates we will expand tag compatibility to other systems. Though please wait before using these, the syntax might still change in pre2 or pre3 Paradigm shift: You can now precisely time creature sounds by defining them as part of the animation meta definitions. This lets you bind a sound to the exact animation frame where the sound should be played, independent of how fast the animation plays. You can define multiple sounds per animation. This is how we added bear and wolf step sounds. We have migrated our source projects from .NET 8 to .NET 10. You will need to install the .net10 sdk to compile our public code. entity.ServerPos is no more. You can still access it but it now redirects to entity.Pos We moved world generation code from the survival mod to the essentials mod, so that total conversion mods can also utilize it CollectibleObject has many of its field turned into methods that also call their respective methods on behaviors Each landform in the landforms.json now must have a unique code. Previously you could use duplicated names. The game will now crash instead. For the red tinting hurt overlay of creatures to work you now need to add "Health" behavior to to the list of client side behavior as well Experimental feature: Mods can now modify the main menu background pictures. If any mods sets one, then the game will disable all vanilla ones. Also noteworthy and just for your awareness, there are currently several notable ongoing projects within the VS coder team: The entire code base of Vintage Story now compiles without warnings, consequently we have either fixed or removed our own game engine's use of deprecated features We have a multi-year long goal of switching over to nullable value types in all code files We continued to slowly integrate a comprehensive tags system. New since 1.21: Changed types of tag arrays and renamed them to tag sets Block and item tags merged into general tags General tags have limit of 65k tags now Tag sets now provide API with set methods Modders no longer need to interact with tag ids directly, they are hidden behind the tag set implementation Modders now can register their own tag types NOTE: there may be further changes to tags code before -rc.1 We continued to refactor, improve and consistency check all our entity AI Tasks We continued our efforts to un-hardcode game engine and content, to make it easier to patch game content as well as reducing unexpected behaviors when modding the game API changelog Feature: Rewrite stone throwing code into its own "CollectibleBehaviorThrowable". Allows one to make an item or block throwable with json changes only Feature: Food in a meal automatically gives a 30% bonus to the base satiety if no in meal nutrition is defined Feature: New server event "HandInteract". Called before any server side hand interact code is executed Feature: New parameter "MinCuboidsPerModel" for ground storable behavior that fixes problem with partial models in ground storage Feature: Item buff feature. Can now buff buffable collectibles e.g. when holding a falx in hands with command "/debug cbuff add sharpened attackpower 1.2" for +20% damage or "/debug cbuff add sharpened attackpower 1 2" for +2 flat damage. Available buffs: attackpower, maxdurability, durability, miningspeed. In code can also define durability of a buff, which is reduced alongside the item durability Feature: Allow BlockBehaviorHarvestable to require a tool Feature: Anvil blocks keep track of their metal tier Feature: Mods can now supply background images for the main menu in their modinfo.json. Currently, if any are supplied then all vanilla ones are disabled. Feature: Added the ability to create custom mixed pie recipes with multiple food categories as fillings Refactor: Major rework of the recipe systems in order to support tags Refactor: Move most of worldgen code to essentials mod and added modularity in some areas so that full conversion mods can use it Refactor: Changed args in capi.StartTrack() Refactor: Move onhurt invulnerable timer code from Entity.cs to BehaviorHealth.cs where it belongs. This however means the Health behavior needs to be client side as well, on all entities. In order to stay backwards compatible, these will automatically get added upon entity load, for now. It will print a warning if that is the case Refactor: GetBehavior(...) methods in Entity now avoid nullref exceptions inside them Refactor: Rename CollectibleBehavior.OnGetMaxDurability to .GetMaxDurability() and altered return value behavior Refactor: Shields now much more mod-dable. The shield code is now type/variant-agnostic Refactor: Rename dirtfloor.json to packeddirt-trampledearth.json, and aridpackeddirt.json to drypackeddirt.json Refactor: BlockUtil.GetKnifeStacks replaced with ObjectCacheUtil.GetToolStacks Refactor: EntityBehaviorRideable and EntityBehaviorGait code cleanup. Now more moddable. Ridden creatures no longer ignore swim sound set from json. Leave blank for silence. Set ridden movement speed only through gait, not through rideable controls. Also allow gaits to have an environment set for land or water, and provides logic for multiple speeds of swimming Refactor: Rename EnumBlockMaterial.Liquid to EnumBlockMaterial.Water Refactor: Lava now has EnumBlockMaterial Lava instead of Liquid Refactor: Merge ItemTagArray and BlockTagArray into CollectibleTagArray Refactor: Cleanup and Document AiTaskManager.ExecuteTask() and .StopTask() Refactor: Made methods of ItemWearable and ItemWearableAttachment virtual, also made private methods protected Refactor: Allow for multiple "AnimationSound" per animation meta. AnimationMeta.AnimationSound is now an array. Make sure to update all anim sounds in your entity json files from animationSound: { ...} to animationSounds: [ { .... } ] Refactor: Added dropQuantityMultiplier to BlockBehavior.OnBlockBroken() Refactor: In AI task json, rename chance, wanderChance, and searchFrequency to executionChance Refactor: Mushroom textures were placed in many individual folders. Now all are under the base 'mushroom' folder. Refactor: Replaced "noConsumeOnCrafting: true", used in the glider schematic itemtype with "consume: false" in the grid recipe Refactor: ItemWearable is now obsolete, replaced by CollectibleBehaviorWearable Refactor: ItemWearableAttachment is now obsolete, replaced CollectibleBehaviorWearableAttachment Refactor: Many fields of Collectible now more moddable Implemented GetAttackRange for CollectibleBehavior Implemented GetMiningSpeeds for both CollectibleObject and CollectibleBehavior Implemented GetDamagedBy for CollectibleObject Implemented GetTool for CollectibleObject (interaction tooltips still use Tool directly) Implemented GetToolTier for CollectibleObject (interaction tooltips still use ToolTier directly) Implemented GetCombustibleProperties for CollectibleObject (interaction tooltips still use CombustibleProps directly) Replaced NutritionProps with GetNutritionProperties where possible Replaced TransitionableProps with GetTransitionableProperties where possible Implemented GetGrindingProperties for CollectibleObject Implemented GetCrushingProperties for CollectibleObject Implemented GetRequiredMiningTier for Block API Feature: Targetable AI tasks can specify a minimum and maximum injury amount of the target API Feature: Added MouseWheelMove input event API Feature: ItemSlotCharacter now uses virtual CheckDressType instead of static IsDressType API Tweak: BlockMultiblock now uses .GetInterface() instead of .GetBehavior() to find interfaces API Feature: Added texture bleeding system for seamless block transitions Feature: New block properties for controlling texture bleed behavior: BleedPriority (auto from material or manual override) CanReceiveBleed, BleedOverlayTexture BleedTopFaceOnly, BleedGroup, BlocksTextureBleed Refactor: Collectible.OnCreatedByCrafting() and CollectibleBehavior.OnCreatedByCrafting() "gridrecipe" argument is now of type "IRecipeBase" instead of "GridRecipe" Refactor: Worldgen: Moved ChunkColumnGen event registration from StartServerSide to InitWorldGen() Refactor: New tag condition matching system. Complex tag conditions hold either a set of disjunctive entries ([a and b and c] or [d and e]) or as a set of conjunctive entries ([a or b or c] and [d or e]). In both cases each of the inner sets can also have a set of forbidden tags that is always disjunctive. The syntax for using these in json follows one simple rule: If no junction verb is specified, the group is treated as conjunctive (a and b and c) examples: [["all", "of", "these"]] [["all", "of", "these"], (or) { allOf: ["all", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] }] { allOf: ["all", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] } { anyOf: ["any", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] } { anyOf: [["all", "of", "these"], { allOf: ["all", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] }] } { allOf: [["anyOf", "of", "these"], (and) { anyOf: ["any", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] }] }11:20 AM these can be used in recipe ingredients and entiy behaviors for now* Replacement Tag System Tweak: Use GetInterfaces for all instances of IIgnitable Tweak: Add stencil buffer API to rendering interface Tweak: Collectible.DamageItem() - Added optional arg "destroyOnZeroDurability" Tweak: Frameprofiler (.debug logticks xx) now records mousedown/mouseup event cost as well Fixed: Collectible.OnHeldDropped was not called server side Fixed: Rideable behavior no longer ignores minGeneration setting Fixed: Crash when entity tries to play sound it did not have Fixed : When using a villages.json to specify modded villages a non wildcard schematics path would not resolve properly Fixed: Unable to export texture atlasses when intallation folder did not have user permissions, they now go to the data folder instead Tweak: New overload CraftingRecipeIngredient.Resolve(IWorldAccessor world, string sourceForErrorLogging, IRecipeBase recipe) should be used to Resolve input ingredients, to ensure they are registered to the new fast recipe matching Tweak: IWorldAccessor has new read-only property IWorldAccessor.FastSearchRecipesByIngredient; this will be populated by the new CraftingRecipeIngredient.Resolve() method mentioned above Tweak: Transform editor dialog now has firepit transform support Tweak: Spawner blocks can now define rain and temperature conditions Tweak: Added OnContainedInteractCancel for use in ground storage interactions Tweak: The Block animation system now also hooked up to the animation sounds system. Example implementation: Bellows Fixed: 'scale' property in shape overlays did not work Fixed: Offsets from mounted entities now make sense, existing ones will need adjusting The mounted animation should position the player relative to the hitbox The attachment point on the mounted creature should go on the part of the entity the player's movement follows The seat offset adjusts the location of the player's hitbox relative to the attachment point* Internal: Change pelt grid recipes that accept multiple sizes, to new 'anyof' format, for Rennorb to check, as they don't seem to work. Tweak: Hides and their various associated items now use the tags system for recipes, with the result that bear hides can now be used directly in the same recipes that only generic hides could be used in directly before. Tweak: 'item-crushed-leadoxide' renamed to 'item-crushed-galena', to better align with standard naming formats. Tweak: Better logging for errors in grid recipes Tweak: New construction options! Structure generation via structures.json now also supports placement: "Shallowwater", supports minForest/maxForest constraints, and fixes some structures generating under water Tweak: The grid recipe loader will now print a warning if a ingredient wildcard never matches Tweak: Allow for custom attribute based grouping of things like shields or bookshelves in the handbook Tweak: Added BroadcastMapRegion to the WorldManager to force send a map region for example after using /wgen regen to update structures debug wireframes Tweak: Correct handling of CollectibleBehavior.OnHandbookRecipeRender. This also means a new argument "ref EnumHandling handling" is added, breaking compatibility with mods implementing this method Tweak: Clothing no longer renders onto seraph skin by default, set collectible attribute "renderOntoSkin" to true to reactivate that Tweak: AnimatableRenderer now supports mixed rendering of opaque and transparent geometry. It'll automatically extract it from the supplied mesh Tweak: Structure placement "Surface" now also checks U blocks Tweak: Removed logged startup warning "Is a {0} mod, but .cs or .dll files were found. These will be ignored." in dll mods that had a worldconfig property set. It served no purpose. Tweak: Added IWearable and IWearableStatsSupplier interfaces, which are now used in new behaviors Tweak: Implemented following methods for CollectibleBehavior: RequiresTransitionableTicking, ConsumeCraftingIngredients, UpdateAndGetTransitionStates. UpdateAndGetTransitionState, GetMergableQuantity and TryMergeStacks Tweak: Metal types of lamellae, chain, and scale items that do not have corresponding armor sets have been removed.

Instead of weird save/load/close stuff, instead register to event bus events "onsettransform" and "ongettransform". See ItemTongs.cs for example Tweak: Added HabitatSize property to spawning conditions, only works for animals with Habitat=Underwater or Habitat=Sea. Default HabitatSize is 2 Tweak: Added animal spawn maps. This lets you further constrain animal spawn to certain regions only. Example implementation: Fish spawn Tweak: Items and Blocks can now define a "ParticlesTextureCode" to specify where block/item breaking particle colors should come from Tweak: When checking the nutrition properties for liquid inside of containers, fallback to the default for the liquid if per litre properties are not found Tweak: It's now possible for meals to be intoxicating Tweak: It's now possible to specify a non-default groupBy to use when creating an ItemStack slideshow in the handbook Tweak: Trait attributes can now define blend types Tweak: New CollectibleBehavior for harvesting items in ground storage Tweak: Ground storage now uses GetCollectibleInterface to obtain IContainedInteractable, making it possible to add it to collectible behaviors Tweak: LiquidContainerTopOpened now uses IContainedInteractable, Ground Storage code for this interaction removed Tweak: Existing elk sounds moved from creature/hooved/large/elk folder to new creature/animal/mammal/hooved/deer folder, to conform with new shape/texture/entity folder standards.

Currently used by the character selector, so right now this event only triggers once the player has selected his character (or right away if he selected it already in a previous join). Cleaned up XML documentation for PlayerJoin, PlayerNowPlaying events Tweak: Animal generation check happens from EntityBehaviorHealth instead of BehaviorHealingItem Tweak: BlockEntity tick listeners now log their positions on exception Tweak: Incorrectly formatted strings sent to ILogger methods now will throw compile errors instead of crashing ingame Tweak: Unhardcode antler item names from antler growth behavior Tweak: Changed Entity.ServerPos and Entity.SidedPos to refer to the Entity.Pos property, so they are no longer different from the Pos property. This is to remove confusion about which to use where. Tweak: In EntityBehaviorMultiply, can now provide an array of requiresNearbyEntityCodes from json. On the code side, more fields made accessible. Tweak: Sailboat-mounted lantern no longer uses a separate model. It instead attaches the 'wall' lantern shape to an invisible LANTERNPARENT element in the sailboat shape. One less model to maintain.

Default implementations are in BlockForFluidsLayer.cs. Modded liquid blocks should ensure their implementation is correct otherwise particle or entity motion may be wrong, or other bugs Deprecation: ItemPoultice moved to Legacy folder. Use BehaviorHealingItem instead. Fixed: EntityVillager modding robustness.

Helps when there's an absolute unit of a dev team putting it all together and making sure that it works. 6 minutes ago, Tyron said: More procedural Dungeon content Definitely glad to hear that there's more dungeon content planned for 1.22 rather than waiting until 1.23. The current is definitely fine for what it is, but a bit more variety is definitely appreciated! 4 1
Lithembia Posted Tuesday at 05:06 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 05:06 PM I hate to leave my first world but I think there's so much changed it is better to start new. I see there's a way to download old versions. Can you install two at the same time or just the one?
MattyK Posted Tuesday at 05:19 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 05:19 PM Do they finally have the rivulet carver enabled?

Pre-1.22 berry bushes are now legacy blocks: they will no longer be available in the Creative inventory, but any in existing worlds are still functional blocks in-game Fully reworked models Can only be propagated by taking a cutting with a knife which when planted takes 6 to 12 months to mature into a new bush Berry bushes require fertilization or they will stop bearing fruit. Berry bush nutrient use tapers off by 15% per year (resulting in about 5% use after 20 years). Some bone meal each year should be enough to give you a decent harvest A handful of rare traits will be added in the next release candidate - traits propagate to the cutting taken Flowering/Ripening behavior still mostly similar to the old system This really feels like it should be updated, and not just copied from when the rework was initially revealed. Most notably to add more complete information about traits and the fruiting cycle, which have already been implemented. Also, it could be nice to explicitly mention that replanted/cultivated bushes require fertilizer, to avoid the confusion with wild bushes which don't. It feels quite appropriate to plug my poll on the berry bush rework, with a detailed description of the changes and some feedback as well: Absolute unit, this update. Really enjoyed the unstable cycle. Edited Tuesday at 07:05 PM by MKMoose 8

Angie P Posted Tuesday at 06:27 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 06:27 PM Thank you for being so consistent, and genuinely SO FAST on these massive updates. Honestly, you're all getting through your want-list/roadmap in such a timely manner! Time for a new world! 2

Ev3rardd Posted Tuesday at 06:44 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 06:44 PM Yay! That was quicker than I expected after the last rc
Minty Boi Posted Tuesday at 06:47 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 06:47 PM Berries requiring fertilizer still feels like a really bad update. Growing up in the woods, there were some massive berry patches out there that produced plenty of fruit with no input from us. Berries tend to be very hearty plants, and needing to fertilize one of the worst foods in the game feels weird when the real life equivalent doesn't need oversight. 1

Propagated berry bushes don't need much fertilizer at all, and even the most common one (bone meal) will already help 7
EnbyKaiju Posted Tuesday at 07:10 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 07:10 PM Thank you so damn much for the incredible update, Tyron & the rest of the VS team! I hope you are all so hecking proud of all you've done, and the amazing game you've created I don't think I'd still be around without this game, and the dedication & care you've put into making it what it is shows in every single update. So, thank you, from the bottom of my monstrous heart. 5 2 1
Michael Gates Posted Tuesday at 07:15 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 07:15 PM What, no war elephants? Don't you know this game is literally unplayable without war elephants?!? Seriously, daaang that's a lotta content+, and an impressive new release. 1 4
Narcosis Posted Tuesday at 07:23 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 07:23 PM (edited) This release actually came out faster than I expected. Lovely but not without major bugs - the quern milling/stack bug is still here. Output material from quern will disappear after closing any container that's not your own inventory. Quern then doesn't reset it's progress bar, which results in ultra fast, near instantaneous milling of entire stacks of materials; it does not matter though, as they will all disappear if you try to craft something out of them or place them in any container or move any other item/stack into their place on the grid. Also, a lot of block entity models are now duplicated in a single spot upon placement, quern being one of them; this results in constant Z-fighting. Other than that, this is probably one of the most major and substantial updates to the game in quite a while. Thanks for all the work and I can't wait to see what the future will bring.

MKMoose Posted Tuesday at 07:59 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 07:59 PM (edited) 1 hour ago, Tyron said: wild berries should yield the same amounts as in 1.21, forever. That's... not really true, though (though they indeed don't need fertilizer). Wild bushes might not be too much worse, but they're definitely significantly different. The average yield is ~6% lower, variance is much higher, and the fruiting cycle changes mean that the total ripe time for a single bush in much shorter, as well as that in most climates it's only possible to harvest one or two times per year, with the minimum temperature for two harvests landing somewhere in the temperate zone (variable due to multiple sources of randomness). There are more species of berries, which brings the average yield per unit of area back up a fair bit, though the availability time is still short. I think this is roughly the right direction and is actually surprisingly close to a proper seasonal fruiting system, and proper seasonal fruiting could actually allow to fix some issues with the current system, e.g. bushes being initially completely random and then synchronized after the first winter. Pizza has said that seasonal fruiting can't be added due to berries being one of the primary foraging foods, though I personally don't see how that is an issue, as the current changes are arguably much more detrimental for early-game foraging than a seasonal cycle would be. 1 hour ago, Tyron said: Propagated berry bushes don't need much fertilizer at all, and even the most common one (bone meal) will already help What many people including the person you're replying to seem to be taking issue with is that the bushes require fertilizer at all, not how much they require exactly. This gets mixed in with people who are overreacting or misinterpreting the changes, and it makes a right mess out of the average discussion on the rework. While communicating the changes a bit better would have helped with the initial partially unwarranted pushback, there is still a large portion of more reasonable criticism which is essentially impossible to significantly address without just redesigning the bush health system, because what is being criticized is in many cases the design and not the balance. Keep in mind that the largest portion of pushback is specifically about the fertilizer requirement and bush health in general, as shown by my poll if nothing else. Other parts of the rework are generally welcome, even if not exactly what some people including myself would like. New visuals, new species and cuttings are especially well-received and seem to be quite clearly net positive for the game. There's been a lot of discussion on it, though I wouldn't blame you if you're not intimately familiar with all of them, especially the almost 17k message long thread.

You pick them back up into your inventory, but their smaller "pick-up-able" model stays on the ground, and then when you place the basket from your inventory back down again, you can never open it, losing the contents forever.
