Dark Thoughts

Why not both?

Ah, you're talking computer history here, but at that time and long after computers and its users were all shunned as nerds and weirdos. The majority of boomers did not touch computers until the late 2010s (or even much later with the rise of smartphones) when they became much more mainstream. If I'm not aware of those old-school shortcuts (I got into computers in the 90s, but of course as a kid at the time), then boomers as far as the stereotype goes aren't either. This was basically a poke at tech illiterate people that rely on mostly millennials to fix their computer issues, which happens to be both post & past generations.

While I disagree that my suggestion is what you're describing, I guess I have been misinformed by Dracc's video on the update then.

Must be, because in my experience they almost always run when they get low. "Half health" is just an arbitrary metric of a gamified system. Realistically the game should use a proper system with injuries, body parts, bleed outs, etc. An animal that gets wounded will almost certainly flee, unless they're starving. Predators, despite their common media portrayal, are generally very risk averse, as an injury could mean that they potentially cannot hunt anymore and consequently end up starving to death. Early game I would suggest to just run, preferably through thickets, since bears are large and like to get stuck on slopes and trees. If they're near your base, dig out a pit for them (legit cavemen hunting technique). If you prefer combat, craft a bunch of stone spears and throw them. Increases the damage a lot and might even be enough to scare them off.

Variable refresh rate settings can cause issues like this. I had to disable it in my OS because it would cause short black screens every now and then with my monitor, especially under load.

The hell (can I say that evil word here without another punishment?!) are those supposed to do? CTRL + X = cut CTRL + C = copy CTRL + V = paste This goes for pretty much every operating system I know that uses keyboard & mouse controls. Edit: As far as I can tell those are just fancy ways of using F6 and Alt + F4? Doesn't seem relevant here.

I actually think vibe coding in a non professional setting is fine, although I still would argue in favor of a disclaimer regardless. A lot of people simply are not capable to learn to program themselves. I for example tried when I was younger, but I have very little ability to focus and concentrate (which got even worse over the decades). Programming also requires pretty much constant learning. It's an ever evolving thing where you have to continue to educate yourself on changes & additions all the freaking time. Not everyone is willing to spent that much time of their life on that. I see this more like people doing image gen for personal use, but maybe they think someone else might have interest in the mod they wanted too and decide to share it for those who may be looking for something similar. The only other options here are a) making mod suggestions and pray (I don't think modders really even lurk in those type of sub forums) or b) be rich enough and find someone to commission it - but that comes with similar caveats regarding maintenance, or even just finding modders who do commissions in the first place.

You can attack the resonator? Is this meant to be some Easter egg, like hitting the chickens in the Zelda franchise too much? I literally never heard about this before.

Needs to be updated for 1.22 but... https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/32420 They should lower the spawn light required to 0 instead of 7. Minecraft did this years ago too and it makes way more sense because it also allows you to have moody lighting inside of your builds without compromising safety, making oil lamps & candles actually viable instead of having to have everything brightly lit through torches, lanterns & chandeliers.

Just in case this isn't known, but you can store temporal gears fairly efficiently in crates.

They are definitely closer to fruit trees now, except worse in every aspect. The whole fertilizer requirement just doesn't make any sense. It's the same plant, the same soil, yet it suddenly won't work the same way anymore? Why not instead have soil quality in general affect fruit growth, regardless if natural spawn or cutting? Could even apply to fruit trees too. Low fertility soil = less fruit yield compared to medium or high fertility soil (and maybe even less bushes on world spawn), or even terra preta, and of course fertilizing it could boost it further. Would make way more sense and, imo, fit much better into the game too. It could even be used as an indicator for high fertility soil spawns, by having a much more boosted berry bush spawn chance on high fertility soil, making it easier to find on worlds with more smooth / flat terrain generation (it's virtually indistinguishable from regular soil if you do not see the sides, and some mods make it even harder to see the sides too!).

Personally I think the boat is way too small for this to make sense. If we had a proper ship to build though, that had the appropriate mass... That would require proper hitboxes & vehicle systems without anchor points though. Something we can't even have for our boats, or other things like beams.

They do run away if they get low on health, all animals do afaik. I am definitely in support of a AI behavior change for predators though. Neither bears nor wolves are hyper aggressive like in VS. Especially black bears are even rather skittish and wolf attacks on grown humans are incredibly rare. On that note, I also feel the black bears should not even exist. The game world is playing in Europe and kinda excludes new world stuff like crops too. And the black bear in the game does not seem to be modeled after the Asian black bear, with its distinct white mark on the chest - it would also be more of a fruit & nuts scavenger than a hunter, and even less aggressive as the US variant. They shouldn't. Wolves don't really target humans. It's super rare and typically the boogeyman propaganda of farmers who saw them as a nuisance. And in the setting of VS there should be plenty of wild animals to keep them well fed too.

For the zoomers & boomers: After copying the settings, create a new world, go to customizing the world settings and then press CTRL + V.

Sounds like a bug? Or what would the explanation for that be?
