I feel like the "<song title> was too <insert negative description here> at first, but after listening to it more I grew to like it a lot" phrasing probably sums up a lot of the disliked tracks. For myself, I like the entire soundtrack, although some tracks I enjoy more than others. I know the summertime music I wasn't a fan of at first, since it sounded a bit circus, but it did grow on me, partly due to the juxtaposition of crawling out of a deep mine into sunlight/surviving a tough temporal storm only to get blasted with what could possibly be one of the most cheerful, whimsical tunes ever. The music pieces for story locations are just spot on though.

Welcome to the forums! As far as I'm aware, there's not a fix for it.

I dunno, man. I've seen my hunter friend eat plenty of things that I definitely wouldn't. Hunter: "Hey how do you wash rot out of a bowl again?" *midway through the explanation I hear crunching noises*

Or a Blackguard. We'll eat just about anything, assuming it's edible.

Not to mention that a vote system could easily be abused. Just get your friends/allies to sway a vote in your favor, or invade someone's space enough times to force a vote on the claim. I think to prevent abuse of this sort, you'd essentially have to get a server admin to look over the claim anyway, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of an automated system. Yeah, this seems like the most fair route, assuming it doesn't already exist. I think MMO guilds have similar tools, in that guild masters/officers can see when members last logged in. If server admins have a way to track when players last logged in, it'd be easier to figure out which claims aren't seeing a lot of use and make a decision on whether or not to free up the territory.

Just going to point out that it's realistic to feed animals more in order for them to gain weight or have better milk yields(to an extent), as well as prevent miscarriage from malnutrition. But feeding them more doesn't speed up gestation--it takes time for the baby to develop.

Ancient Tools handles it pretty well. You can use bark in healing supplies, eat it(depending on the bark), make it into small chests, burn it...etc. Generally it's not terribly useful, but it can be in the early game if you want to save reeds or don't have grain yet. It's also a lot more satisfying to strip logs with an adze, than it is to do in the crafting grid with a hammer and axe. I think it'd be fine to allow bark to be eaten, or used for baskets/handbaskets since that would be incredibly useful for colder playthroughs. Making clothes out of it...eh, not needed, since we already have rawhide clothing and furs. I think in terms of material, it makes more sense to add jute for turning into burlap--that way the player gets a resource that takes some time to produce and process, but remains useful in the late game(storage sacks, specialized bags, etc).

It really depends on how well one's mind handles pathfinding. Those who have a good sense of direction and/or a photographic-type memory can find their way around without use of a map or man-made markers a lot more easily than those with poor sense of direction. Of course, it's not foolproof either, and all it takes is a brief distraction to forget critical information.

Should this ever happen again, it's worth noting that you can set yourself to creative mode(/gm 2) or spectator mode(/gm 3) and fly yourself out of the situation. /gm 1 will set you back to survival.

Honestly, a very engineer quality, in some ways. https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/27250 You'll enjoy this!

Kind of, but I would also say it's warranted. A lot of players arrive at Vintage Story after cutting their teeth in the other block game, and probably aren't going to be thinking in terms of "winter is coming, and it's cold. I should prepare". I recall reading one account from a new user recently who said as much--he was expecting wintertime to be like living in a cold biome in the other block game, and got a very rude awakening(though he did seem to enjoy the experience). I would also say it's a case of...VS veterans really like helping out new players. When someone asks for advice, we try not to spoil too much, but we're also...uh...perhaps a little overly helpful in regards to giving tips on how to avoid hardship in the game. I would say that I would be surprised...the average player really shouldn't be starving to death, yet it seems to be a thing that happens. There are plenty of opportunities and ways to go about solving the problem, but it's worth bearing in mind that the player needs to utilize the options themselves in order to solve the problem. A good chunk of learning how to play Vintage Story is just figuring out how to think outside the box and use the options you have available, which depending on worldgen may not be the "best" options in terms of meta strategy(like needing to resort to shells for tanning due to a lack of borax/lime supply).

I mean...if I took a bolt to the posterior, I'd be crawling too!

Do you have other mods? Unless you're playing vanilla(in which case, you've probably found a bug if you have inventory space and the world isn't lagging), it's very likely an issue caused by a mod. The general fix is to disable mods, verify that vanilla works properly, and then re-enable mods one by one and test as you do so to see when the issue crops back up. It's a tedious process, especially if you have a lot of mods, but it's the easiest way to figure out which one is being the problem if there's otherwise no obvious culprit.

While it may be a pain, I prefer to check the mods manually. Since there's currently no official updater, that cuts down on the potential for third-party software to cause issues. It also allows me to check the mod itself to see what's updated, and whether or not other users have been reporting issues with the mod. The latter point is more of a concern, since it's not unusual for things to go awry with updating code--a misplaced semicolon or forgotten lettercase can do wonders.

Welcome to the forums! A modlist would be handy to have here. Sounds like a possible memory leak. Have you tried rebooting your PC? You'll probably also want to go check the modpages of the mods that you downloaded and see if any of them have known issues regarding RAM usage. Aside from that, while it's probably a mod issue, the general way to figure out which one it is, is to disable the mods and ensure that vanilla works correctly first. Then re-enable your mods one by one and test them as you do so. That should make it obvious which one is causing problems.

It kind of varies depending on the location, I think. Not really, but do keep in mind that killing monsters returns a portion of stability, and you can also restore a portion of stability by sacrificing a temporal gear and a bit of health. However, it's also worth noting that while it's not unusual to have unstable areas within the Archive, it shouldn't be to the extent that you need to take breaks on the surface or utilize the gear method. It's good to keep an eye on the meter nonetheless, but I can't recall having ever needed to return to the surface for a reason other than hauling loot out or heading home after completing the challenge within.

I'm not so great at the coding aspect, but this is where I tag my friend who does the codework on our mod. @Teh Pizza Lady @Thorfinn and @xXx_Ape_xXx I've also seen cruise around the forums giving mod advice. If you're on the VS Discord, I think there is a channel specifically for modding as well, that's very active.

Nope, you go kill foxes, raccoons, and rabbits, scrape their hides, and turn the result into parchment. Much faster, assuming you have access to tanning, that is.

I'm indifferent about it, I suppose. It's a handy quality-of-life tool that players can turn on/off at their leisure. It does make things easier, however, it's worth bearing in mind that the player still needs to mark down the information themselves. While it might be more realistic to turn off the map/minimap, there's also an awful lot of information the player needs to keep track of, so it's a very nice feature to have. I wouldn't be surprised if the map system got overhauled into something like Craftable Cartography. However, I also think the current system is fine, in its own way, since there is a "realistic" map style, a true color map style(this provides a better aerial layout of large builds), and an option to disable the map and/or minimap entirely.

Welcome to the forums! @Bruno Willis already provided an excellent explanation, but if you ever need to look up the information in the game, it will be under the Guides section of the handbook, listed under the title Game Mechanic: Temporal Stability.

I mean, maybe the OP was trying to play on a server while he was in offline mode then?

Based on this, my best guess is that maybe there is an issue with your game account? I'm not sure. I would try re-entering your login credentials when prompted, or perhaps open a ticket with the support team if the issue persists. The game should launch fine in offline mode--I've played in offline mode without issue for a while. If I recall correctly though, it will still ask for login credentials.

Welcome to the forums! Is it generating a crash report? If so, you can submit the crash report on the Github bug tracker for the devs to have a look at. Otherwise, really need more information to work with here, as crashes can happen for any number of reasons. It could be a bug in the game, it could be a mod related issue if you're using mods, or it could be an issue related to your computer hardware or software.

This does already exist in the game, we just aren't allowed to build our own version...yet.

Right, and when you find high fertility soil it's nice to have, but terra preta is still better, and not at all difficult to craft. Charcoal is easy to make, bonemeal is easily obtained, and compost is easy to make and obtain as well...you just have to wait for rot to compost. It's still a bigger sink of resources than just opting to craft terra preta from the start, especially considering where saltpeter comes from and other things it can be used for. I suppose if someone just really wanted to go this route for whatever reason, sure, but it's a horribly inefficient way to obtain terra preta compared to the current recipes.
