Expanded still doesn't work haha. The game just crashes every time I try to leave it. Sadness.

I redownloaded 1.17.11 to try and see if I can get Expanded to work. I've played the mod before and LOVE it, so I really want this to work. 

Fingers crossed I can get it eventually. 

Thank you again Thorfinn for all your help before. 

EDIT

I don't even know, but it's working on 1.17.11 now with Expanded story. I have redownloaded that game idk how many times. This is so funny and so weird but I'm happy it's working!!!

Yeah, that's the one I'm running now.

So what's server-main sayng now?

I DOWNLOADED 1.18 FOR VINTAGE STORY!!!!!

IT LOADED! I WAS ABLE TO BE IN A WORLD!!!!

i don't know why but it's working!!!!

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you using 1.18? The new release candidate? Sorry. I thought you were on 1.17.11. The version of ACA you are using is ONLY for 1.18.

I am using 1.17.11. 

Do you think that's why it's not working? I'll go look for the right version of Culinary!

Edit - 

I went with the 1.0.11version of ACA but Expanded still doesn't work. Sad.

Yeah, there's something weird going on. That modlist takes around a second from the time the dots show up on my machine, but I'm on a top-of-the-line i7 with 32 GB RAM, running on a mostly empty high end SSD, but if you are loading almost immediately without EF, and never loading with it, that's just weird.

Does server-main.txt at least complete? The last lines before a single-player join would be something like

If not, where does it stop?

it doesn't seem to stop. 

it keeps repeating the last lines about error in the item code

No, that's what my modinfo.json says, too.

What do you mean by "the issue"? You can't select the box for the mod, or it's sitting on the dots for a long time (like more than a couple of minutes)? It's typical for it to look like it's doing nothing. Depending on your machine and mod list, you might have more than a couple of minutes between trying to start the game and the world opening, sometimes with those dots just sitting there doing nothing.

Sorry just frustrated. I've never had a problem like this before.

Yes, the dots will keep loading, vanishing, and loading, but nothing changes. The world just never generates. 

I turned off Expanded foods by clicking the little blue square, and the world will load up almost instantly. 

I tried again but now I have a didn't issue that I have on and off with expanded foods. 

I can pull up any logs from the logs folder if you need them. 

Just now, Thorfinn said:

Oh, sorry. Open the game and on the main menu, click on Mod Manager. If they are showing up in Cache, they are almost certainly in Mod Manager.

It was staring me in the face lol. Yes, they are showing up in it. It's just Expanded foods that's the issue. Do I need to change anything inside the mod? 

(When I go into the Expanded foods file and go into Mod Info, I see that networkversion is currently null. Is that an issue? )

I can't seem to wrap my head around why it's not working but everything else is, and no one else is seeming to have this issue. 

1 minute ago, Thorfinn said:

Are they not showing up in Mod Manager? Are they at least in the Cache folder?

Where do I find the mod manager again? (I'm going crazy)

And they do show up in the cache. I am deleting the cache every time as you mentioned earlier just in case. 

I currently only have 3 mods right now to try and see the issue easier. Expanded Food, Culinary, and Acorns. 

3 minutes ago, Thorfinn said:

Marvelous. Delete the Cache directory in your VintagestoryData directory, then restart VS.

Still doesn't work. Everything else does expect for Expanded Foods. I have redownloaded the game. Every single mod. I honestly don't know what else to do.

Thank you so much for helping me.

What is in Mods?

5 minutes ago, Thorfinn said:

By default, AppsData\Roaming\Vintagestory

I don't seem to have that. In either of the vintage Story files under Roaming

Also, do I need the item's dates 2/6/23?

Thank you for your help with this. I really appreciate it. If you get annoyed please tell me. I don't want to be bugging you too much. 

21 minutes ago, Thorfinn said:

Oh, then you probably somehow got them in in Roaming\Vintagestory\Mods instead of Roaming\VintagestoryData\Mods. If so, make sure those are the correct ones for the version you are using, move them to VintagestoryData\Mods (or just redownload them -- they are pretty tiny unless you are using an acoustic modem) and re-delete the Cache directory.

[EDIT]

Make sure you don't leave them in the executable's directory. I'm pretty sure the Mod Manager can figure out what to do with different versions in different locations, as I made that exact mistake back in 1.14 or 1.15, but I don't know what it does with similar versions.

[/EDIT]

They should be fine zipped or unzipped. Moving them from Cache will probably just copy them back and leave them in Mods as well. But I'd prefer to go with the known quantity. I'd just delete the cache folder, re-download them, then open the game, go to Mod Manager, click on Open Mods Folder, then copy from downloads to the Mods directory that VS opened for you. Click on Reload Mods and see what happens. I just verified that process works for my install.

Good luck!

[EDIT2]

I don't think deleting Cache will ever cause a problem. When the game loads the mods, it unzips everything in Mods into Cache. Deleting Cache would have just let you know you were missing the two mods without having to go hunting for them.

I probably overdo deleting cache -- I do it every time I change my modlist.

[/EDIT2]

[EDIT3]

A thought. Delete the Cache folder, restart the game, open the Cache folder and see if ACA and EF are there. If so, you need to find where those copies are and get rid of them. Most likely they are in the Mods folder in the executable directory.

[/EDIT3]

What's the executable directory? I can;t seem to find that.

OK. Worldgen is always kind of a crapshoot. You can have the same modlist and it works 10 times in a row, then the 11th crashes. I think probably its just that some mapgen feature happened to be spawned in your starting location. If you have tried loading your world in repair mode and it didn't work, I fear you are probably not going to get it back, at least with EF included. 

It bothers me that as you read through, say, server-main.txt that there are all kinds of mods that have unresolved warning issues. For example, I kind of wonder if Culinary Artillery and Primitive Survival both neglected to define an optional dependency on Wildcraft Trees, because according to the load order, those tree types have not been defined before ACA and PS try to use them in recipes. Depending on what else is in a modlist, it might yank the mods into the right load order anyway and mask the problem. Thus what appears to be caused by one mod is really the product of some other unrelated shuffling in the background.

Hi question, I've been fooling around to try and get it to work. I've gone to App Data, roaming, Vintagestorydata.

I found my mods folder inside but it doesn't have the expanded foods mod or the culinary mod. Those I found in Cache folder then unpack folder, but unzipped.

Could this the problem? Or would I be destroying the game if I move them?

Thank you!

Are you running on 1.17 or 1.18? How do you get out of that condition? Does it eventually say, "...it Sighs", or does it crash to desktop or what?

And did I understand you correctly that when the only 5 mods you have loaded are Creative, Survival, Essentials, Culinary Artillery and Expanded Foods, it does that? Or is it that when you remove EF, you can now load? If the latter, I would suspect a circular dependency chain. EF has so many optional dependencies that problems can be not only inconsistent, but really bizarre. For example, Cuniculture causes problems with EF. No idea if it's just that some resource has been reused and overwritten or if there is a dependency issue (seems unlikely) but it is what it is. Leave Cuniculture out and things load fine.

Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news, but the only real way to tell is to start with the 5 mods, then add stuff that it has optional dependencies on, like Primitive Survival, Wildcraft, Acorns, Alchemy, More Animals, Ancient Tools, um... I'm sure I'm missing a few there, but I'm drawing a blank. You can read through these 83 pages and try to find them or just go on to the next phase -- adding in the rest of the mods a few at a time until you find whatever it is that causes issues.

[EDIT]

Dopey me, the very first post lists compatibility. I missed Wild Farming, but I don't think it works. And I'm sure he's got stuff in there from Alchemy and Ancient Tools. 

[/EDIT]

[EDIT2]

Oh, and don't do this with your old world. Create a new one each time. Delete the whole mess when you figure out which one (or more) is the problem. Then try to load the your old world with a modlist you know works, and if that crashes, try to load it in repair mode. But I know for a fact that 1.17.11 should work with ACA, EF, Primitive Survival and Wildcraft because I just tested it on my machine, just to make sure.

[/EDIT2]

I did try but I think it's just weirdly broken for me, but thank you. I appreciate your help. Maybe it's just a me issue lol. I'll try again when a new update happens for the mod or something. Thank you!

What does "nothing happens" mean? What error message is it throwing? I can't really tell from your description. Are you starting a new world, and it gets up to the spot where the sets of dots appear repeatedly at the bottom of the loading display? And then the error handler pops up?

Reason I'm asking all this is as near as I can tell, you are encountering a mapgen issue, but to the best of my knowledge, there's no mapgen in this mod.

Yes, that is exactly what is happening. Everything finishes like it is about to load up the world, the three dots appear and then keep loading but then nothing else happens. It just stays stuck in that position loading the entire time. 

I know it's only this mod because I went through all my mods one by one loading up the world to make sure they work. IDk how to fix this or what to do.

Have you installed Culinary Artillery? That's also required for this mod to work.

I do have it installed, and it doesn't mess with my loading. Just the Expanded Foods mod. 

When I add this mod and try to start a world it just won't load. It'll be right there about to load up but nothing happens. It's just with this mod, and none of my others seem have an issue with loading the world in seconds. How do I fix this?

this is so cute! how did you do this?

Hi @KarsT, thank you so much!  Sadly, I cannot recreate your issue and no one else has reported it.  I tested using VS version 1.14.7 and some smaller animals (hen, rabbit, piglet).  If I you could attach a copy of your server-main.txt log file that would probably tell me what's going on (in like C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\Logs)

I suspect that this is either (1) two copies of my mod installed simultaneously, or (2) a conflict with some other mod, either a mod that changes the default animal behavior (i.e. Farm Life?), or a mod that adds new animal(s).

I got ride of farm life and your mod works perfectly now! That was the problem! Thank you!

I love this mod! But whenever I use the rock and stick trap, the dead fall my game crashes because the animal stops moving and won't die no matter how many times I hit it. 

I saw a couple pictures of people using x-ray on worlds and seeing ores, crystal areas, lava, old rooms, etc.. in their worlds and wanted to use it too. I can't seem to find anything in my world and need the help. Does anyone know how to use x-ray? If so please tell me! I've looked all over the site and the internet but nothing. Thank you!

I deleted it then added it again. It works. Awesome MOD!

Are you sure the mod has loaded at all? There should be cages of all kinds of metals.
Do you have the latest version of the mod (1.1.1)? VintageStory version?

I have the latest version 1.1.1. But do I need to do anything to code part to make it work? This is the first time I;ve added a mod to Vintage Story so I am not sure if I did something wrong or anything. 

I can not figure out how to craft a cage. When I look it up all I get is the wooden cage, nothing metal except metal locust cage. So I don't know how ingots are supposed to work to make it. I can't see how to make it form any ingredients be it resin, wood, coppor ingots. I just don't know what to do. The only thing that seems new is the chutes(?) and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Please help!

I finally got a hive big enough to venture out and got a skep filled with bee's. Except I couldn't pick up the skep and when I broke it, it just fell onto the floor in the little miniature version of its self and I am unable to pick it up. I can push it around by placing blocks but unable to get it into my inventory. I did try picking it up using an empty slot, as well as using shift and the right mouse button, and broke it with the left mouse button. Anyone else having trouble?

And if someone can tell me how to mod so I am able to just give myself a skep filled with bees. 

Thank you.
