Hey everyone! I think it would be really cool if Vintage Story had glassblowing or more advanced glass crafting. Right now, glass is mostly just for windows, but imagine being able to make bottles, vases, jars, and other glass objects! Why This Would Be Awesome Better storage & immersion – Glass bottles could hold wine, juice, honey, etc or even something like potions when alchemy is added. More decorative options – Vases, candle holders, fancy glassware—stuff to really make builds feel more lived-in. A unique crafting process – Maybe a glassblowing furnace where you shape molten glass? Could be done with molds or freehand shaping. Fits the historical feel – Glassblowing has been around for centuries, so it would make sense in the game’s world. I’d love to build a huge wine cellar filled with glass bottles on wooden racks. Right now, we don’t have a great way to represent something like that, and it would add so much atmosphere.

(Disclaimer: This is just some dumb pasta I wrote because I was bored. Your peat is probably safe. Probably.) Alright, so there I was, chilling in my world, doing what any normal, well-adjusted Vintage Story player does—ripping entire forests out of the ground like a lunatic—when I started getting that feeling. You know the one. That weird, back-of-your-neck itch that says, “Hey, something is watching you.” I look around. Nothing. Just trees, grass, and the overwhelming burden of existence. Then I turn back toward my base, and there it is. Just standing there. A player model, but wrong. No name tag. No movement. Just standing way too still at the edge of my lantern’s glow. I stared at it. It stared back. Well, I think it did. It didn’t have eyes. Or maybe it did. I don’t know, man, the whole thing was moistly unsettling. Naturally, as a person with great survival instincts, I walked right up to it. And the second I got close? Gone. Just poof. Like my will to live on a Monday morning. Weird, but okay. Vintage Story does spooky stuff sometimes. Maybe I just imagined it. Fast forward five minutes—I’m back at my base, pretending that everything is fine, when my chat types a message all on its own. "Do you hear the chimes?" I do not. I do not hear the chimes. I do not even own chimes. What the actual hell are we talking about, my guy?? Then my screen goes black and my game crashes. Solid. 10/10 experience. I log back in, expecting my world to be fine. And it is. Except my peat. All of it. Gone. Not in my storage. Not on the ground. Not a single lonely little pile anywhere. Just vanished. Like it never existed. Like the game knew I needed it and decided, “Nah.” So yeah, PSA for all you Vintage Story players out there: if you ever see The Hollow Watcher, don’t panic. It won’t kill you. It won’t grief your base. It won’t crash your world. It just steals your peat. And honestly? That’s worse.
