Thalius Posted June 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Greetings Vintarians! Another Wilderlands update.. Currently waiting on the stable release for version 1.15. Once it is here and free of major bugs, we will be updating the server. Very much looking forward to the new content! In the mean time, we have been taking a hard look at temporal storms, drifter mechanics, and loot drops. One of the key mods on the server is the Wilderlands' version of Mr1k3's Better Drifters mod. The Wilderlands version aims to make drifters a bit more dynamic and challenging, with rewarding but not too overpowered loot drops on harvest. We ran into a snag though with temporal storms providing an opportunity for drifters to be afk farmed via traps, with the player being able to avoid any chance of harm while away from the pc, then coming back when the storms concluded in order to harvest their already dead catch- sometimes as many as several hundred drifters. So, unable to find a way to rectify the issue under current game mechanics, we opted to remove temporal storms altogether but make drifters much more interesting over-all. For full details, see the Better_Drifters_Wilderlands_Version_1.2.0 release post here: While we hated to see temporal storms go, because they are quite fun and creepy, we'll have to wait till we have better drifter ai that prevents cheesing the system before we can enjoy them properly. Until then- The Wilderlands drifters have a few new tricks in their bag, and they will keep you on your toes. ~TH~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolyenka Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Any chance you would be willing to share the world seed? My computer doesn't hold up well to multiplayer, but the map looks really cool. I understand if you'd rather not post it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a lot of striking mountains mixed with plenty of plains and many very large lakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalius Posted August 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 The Wilderlands server has been updated to version 1.15.5, and a few new mods added. In the process we encountered a few technical issues with our hosting service that put us in the position of either starting fresh or spending a decent amount of time trying to salvage our original world and hope it was not corrupted. A discussion with the server community settled on starting fresh, especially given the new content. New measures are in place to backup our server world apart from any hosting service, should such an event occur in the future. SO.. the Wilderlands is offering a fresh new world to explore, and one that is more challenging than ever, in many ways. There have also been a few new mod alterations and additions that bring some new features and challenges to the adventure! Be sure to see the OP for a brief overview of the server conditions, and join our Discord channel if you would like to know more: https://discord.gg/DgwfgsSbr5 We hope to see you in The Wilderlands soon... ~TH~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalius Posted October 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hullo, Vintarians! The Wilderlands server has been updated to 1.15.7. I will also soon be updating this thread with some new info and some screenshots from the community. Things are going well on the server, and a nice little community has emerged around Hogsfoot, our village at spawn. Some other communities in outlying areas are in the plans. If you have been thinking about joining the Wilderlands, now is a great time to join and get involved. Hope to see some of you there soon.. ~TH~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalius Posted November 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Greetings once again! Server mods have been updated. We also added a few new ones to shape the Wilderlands experience: Dynamic Foes Expanded Foods Fields of Gold Wild Farming Wilderlands Ethology We are also in the process of working our way to a new village area to the north. Hogsfoot, our spawn village, stays pretty warm and does not see snow in the winter time. Temps there only fall to just above freezing. If you don't like snow, it is a great place to settle. A good portion of the community long for snowy winters though, and the northern village will provide all four season. Roads, both above and below ground, are providing easy travel between communities, and lots of access to new terrain and caves in between. If you have been thinking about giving The Wilderlands a try, it is a great time to join the community! Hope to see you there... ~TH~ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalius Posted January 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Greetings Vintarians! Time for an overdue update as it has been quite some time since anything was said, and we do have news to share! The Wilderlands is in the process of moving to a new hosting service that should put us in a better position to maintain and manage the server with our growing community. This has been a need we have been aware of and discussing for some time. Also, with all the new features added to VS version 1.16, it seemed a good time to reset the Wilderlands to a new world. What better time to move to a new hosting platform as well then? So that is what we are doing. We have chosen CreeperHost as the new hosting platform, and are setting things up now. Along with the move and a server reset as we update to 1.16, we are going over our mods and making some changes, some of which include building some of our own. We have a talented group of modders in our community that have taken on a few projects, and are excited about what their work will bring to the Vintage Story world. If you are looking for a solid community of players to enjoy Vintage Story with, and like the idea of living in a challenging and dangerous world that, at the same time, offers diverse options for creativity in building and crafting, give the Wilderlands some thought. And if you decide you would like to be a part of the Wilderlands, now would be a great time to join us on Discord as we prepare to launch the new world. Hope to see some of you there... ~TH~ Edited January 25, 2022 by Thalius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalius Posted February 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Greetings once again, fellow Vintarians! Just a quick update to let the community know that, after a long slog updating mods and getting things ready, The Wilderlands will be launching a new server world this Friday, February 25th, in the late afternoon/evening. The past few weeks have been busy updating some of our custom mods and even creating some new ones, while waiting for other mods from other authors to update. We have a pretty solid vision for the server, but getting it where we want it has required quite a bit of custom work. We did not want to launch the new world until we had everything in place. As it is, we will be launching with two important mods missing- Fields of Gold and From Golden Combs, but hope to add them in soon, once life allows the author to devote the time needed to updating them. If you have considered joining the Wilderlands, now would be a great time to join us on Discord as we prepare for the launch!https://discord.gg/DgwfgsSbr5 Wilderlands spawn village location in new server world, Hope to see some of you there! ~TH~ Edited February 22, 2022 by Thalius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
