1.22.0 - Fishing, Mechanisms, Metalworking and More!

[CheeseLord2187]

Cant wait to make a new world to try the update! looks amazing 

[Lithembia]

I'm getting a weird thing where the game runs normally and then suddenly acts like it's hanged for 15 s or so, and then goes back to normal. So far it has not crashed.

Do sleek doors now close rooms? I think before they weren't "air tight" and would prevent a room from being considered closed.

[Michael Gates]

Un-mentioned QoL improvement: surface borax bits are now MUCH more visible. Look at this thing!

[Professor Dragon]

Huzzuh!

I've been waiting so long for the stable release - this will be fun! 

Time to roll a new world.

Thanks Dev team! ! !

Is it just me or do the new pig types not eat from a trough? I have several in a pen and fed with appropriate food in a trough but they haven't ate after several days.

I'm getting some issues there as well, though it seems to be less that they don't eat at all and more that they eat rarely and the number of portions that they've eaten displays inconsistently. My male goat also seems to have a similar problem, though the female goat is eating normally, it would seem. Probably a good candidate for a bug report.

Seems to be a 1.21.2 change.

Absolutely nothing was changed about the loose ores in 1.22. Nothing that I can find changed in game files and code at least.

Great Update!

2 small things you probably already know. the large bellows and quern are bugged.

I created a Liter of lineseed oil but seems like there is no use for it just yet. Did I miss something? 

[Facethief]

Please send help, my rawhide tunic turned evil and red upon downloading this update.

It’s still perfectly functional, mind you, but it’s very red and jarring to look at.

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.

are pants going to be able to be stored in cabinets?

So the update added raccoon and fox hides, but is there a possibility for a recipe that converts (for concept, using a knife in the crafting grid) them into small hides? Early game inventory management is rough (which I know is the point, duh), two more animals having a distinct hide type and each take up 1 slot of inventory, while having 2 new hat recipes, clogs up already small space, but they are technically a small hide. I think it's a little annoying having to throw them away just because they're not the same type of item and my inventory is packed with other goodies.

If this doesn't happen I get it 'cause soaked fox and raccoon hides lose their purpose altogether, so yeah. ¯\(ツ)/¯

[Krisch]

I am only here for the snow shovel

But holy shit!
This is an incredible update.

Danke an das ganze Team von Vintage Story.

Add flax oil, I have 4 fields full of flax and the animals cant keep up with eating that thing. Also a cauldron for making a huge amounts of meals(or candles) would be great

There is lineseed oil but I already asked what it is used for. Did not find any recipe with it just yet.

Didn't miss anything. Linseed oil currently doesn't have any use.

This is a great change, unfortunately it isn't working. I just spawned into a new world to immediately see four(!) wolves less than 50 blocks away, and a brown bear not far behind them. 

Lol, can confirm, I spawned into my current world and saw TWO bears chilling within 50 blocks of spawn

My entire quern is flashing constantly, I try not to look at it so it doesn't give me a headache. The stop stays still while a ghost top turns and z fights with the stationary top. 

Minor detail, I'm enjoying the patch and found copper before fall when I was afraid I would not.

Didn't expect update so fast .
Time for new world

[Moltrey]

It's early days for v1.22, but I am finding that so far the old nasty repetitive lag hitch is back. I need to spend some more game time to confirm; while not even close to debilitating, it is annoying. Curious if others are/are not seeing this.

[Kusagai]

nice

Soaked fox/raccoon hides process into small scraped hides, also seen in their handbook entry. Unfortunately no way to stack fox/small/raccoon hide before that at the moment save for someone making a mod to craft them into small hides eg. in the way you suggest.
For earlygame hunting trips I can only advise sticking to either raccoons/foxes at a time and chasing the others into a pit for later killing if possible. And for just one or two hides ground storage in a cellar should work if reed chests aren't an option.

I confirm, and it is quite annoying, since my government PC barely handles the version compared to the previous ones. I thought it would be a matter of the pre-release, but it seems it has reached the final version. I imagine it will be refined in the subsequent more stable versions, along with the non-Euclidean shape of the windmills and other minor defects.

[Neutralized]

After an update I have issues with huge 10 seconds game freezes, like don't know what cause it because it occurs like once per 10 minutes, once per hour, sometimes 3 times in a row. It's like overhalming my CPU or RAM because, it also stops youtube music. Weird, just don't know what causes it. It happens unregullary, might happen while I'm running or just standing and doing nothing.
