Dear Steeled Community v1.14.0-rc.7, a release candidate, can now be downloaded through the account manager. As expected a few major things broke, but this patch should fix it right back up! Screenshot by Ava on our Discord server Game updates Fixed: Crash with incomplete Pulverizer fed items via chute. Fixed: Pulverizer handbook entry to refer to Olivine now not Peridotite Fixed: Firepit contents rendering issues with a rotten food pot Fixed: Should hopefully fix client side block entity load order issues (which threw exceptions on the client) Fixed: 3-way chute crash when placed against back face Fixed: Large Gear unwanted unbreakable rim blocks on client when jump-placing fails Fixed: Pulverizers not always showing items it is fed automatically Fixed: Game crashing when placing 2 blister steel on the same anvil Fixed: Prevent crash in sound engine unload when leaving a world Fixed: Exception thrown from /kill View full record

Dear Steeled Community v1.14.0-rc.5-6, a release candidate, can now be downloaded through the account manager. I spent significant time trying to improve the frame rate, and fix stuff as usual. It may be that this caused the game to become temporarily less stable, until I fix all newly introduced bugs. In any case, let's see if I was successful! @radfast has also been championing work on mechanical power to fix some of its derpiness! Also info to modders: Please ensure that anything you do in blockEntity.FromTreeAttributes() does not depend on the chunk being loaded. I've added a client side optimization that runs this method in a separate thread now. [Edit:] Also release rc.6 to fix - Game crashing when closing the inventory - Missing translations on the character class dialog Game updates Tweak: Performance improvements Mitigated lag spikes caused by loading new chunks that have lots of block entities in them, particularly chiseled blocks Improve sign performance (Sign texts are no longer rendered when outside the viewing angle of a player) Improve container (chest, basket, vessels) performance (Chests no longer run through the animation calculations if there is no active animations) Reduced lag spike intensity when opening survival inventory Reduced lag spike intensity when shift crafting many items from the 3x3 grid Mitigate one more source of lag spikes related to the new clothing conditions Tweak: Greatly reduced derpiness in immersive first person mode (removed neck, screen doesn't wobble like crazy when doing an action + walking) Tweak: added /tpwp [starts with name] to teleport to a waypoint. Requires the teleport privilege. Tweak: Tier 2 and Tier 3 refractory brick now require crushed olivine instead of crushed peridotite Tweak: Rain splash particles slightly larger Tweak: Crushing of items/blocks now fully linked in the handbook. crushing properties are now an engine feature Tweak: Quern grinding sound a bit louder Tweak: Reduced Pulverizer throughput speed by 40% Tweak: Added a "required crushing tier" info to pulverizable items Tweak: Fix demon-jitter of hell for dropped items floating in water Tweak: Increased temperature at which lake ice melts Tweak: Improved stack tool tip performance to mitigate lag spikes when moving around quickly in the creative inventory Tweak: Reduced spawn rate of arctic foxes during world gen Fixed: Many Mech Power issues Fix unwanted windmill speed oscillations Fix Quern grinding speed now correctly matches rotation speed Fix large gear small gear network sense correct in complex builds Fix placing large gear down in existing spot correct connections Fix axles placed on small gears network sense Fix a few orientations of angled gears rendered rotating backwards Fixed: Snow above lakes in cold areas, killing the client when snow gravity is on Fixed: Odd panning crash? Fixed: Placing a curd bundle crashed other players Fixed: .charsel not properly disabled Fixed: Exception thrown when a locust dies Fixed: 1 hp too much applied from traits Fixed: % value stats rounding errors in the character dialog Fixed: /clearentities threw an exception Fixed: Character preview z-clipping in the character dialog on high ui scales Fixed: Broken button texts when setting the language to arabic Fixed: Sword hit tp/ifp animation gone missing Fixed: Sneaking no longer reduced animal detection range Fixed: Stone coffin carburizing 10 times faster Fixed: Rendering issues with some dropped items Fixed: Color list link in waypoint dialog not working API Refactor: blockEntity.FromAttributes() is now also called in a separate thread on the client side (As before, FromTreeAttributes() is called before Initialize() and you should not read or set blocks in be.FromTreeAttributes() unless Api is set!), and it is now possible that be.OnBlockUnloaded() gets called before be.Initialize(). Please update your mods to account for that. API Tweak: Added capi.Render.DefaultFrustumCuller View full record

Dear Steeled Community v1.14.0-rc.4, a release candidate, can now be downloaded through the account manager. This release candidate will probably break some mods that have been upgraded to v1.14 already, I'm very sorry about that. On the bright side, mod authors should have an easy time upgrading to it, because it only changes two small spots related to inventory handling. Normally I try to not introduce any API breaking changes during release candidates, but I believe it was worth it here to fix a rather serious issue for a new feature that we would need to give up otherwise. Also a big thank you for everyone that has been reporting bugs! Most of the bugs that I fix nowadays are because you reported them! Game updates Feature: The wooden pan is now place-able Tweak: disabled .charsel, but therefore added "/player [name] allowcharselonce" for server admins to allow 1 more skin and class change (also creates class clothing) Tweak: Updated all language files.

Probably still needs more fine tuning. Tweak: Drifters now approach players ~35% quicker Tweak: Headbobbing frequency reduced when sneaking, it looked wrong Tweak: Fur items sold by the survival trader now notably more pricey Tweak: Clay deposits rebalance Now also spawn in much colder areas Are half as common Drop slightly more than double the amount of clay per block Take nearly twice as long to dig up Fixed: Hunter harvesting speed bonus was reduced instead of increased Fixed: Game crashing when an invalid or corrupt was in the character inventory Fixed: Opening journal crashes the game Fixed: Knapping interaction help on stones that weren't knappable Fixed: Should fix burning coal piles not updating their height continuously on the client Fixed: Rare crash related to mold racks Fixed: Eating deadly stew from a bowl left the bowl in the players inventory upon death Fixed: Some gems not sell-able to the trader Fixed: Anvil eating endless amounts of iron blooms when the anvil already had something on it Fixed: Shift+left clicking twine and linen made it repair clothes Fixed: Immersive first person mode allowing player to see through terrain. Now it will be blocked by an "inside render" of blocks until we can properly fix the clipping. Fixed: Finally fixed weird sun halo in some odd cases Fixed: 2 different default values for world sizes, depending on how a world was created (1000000 and 1024000) Fixed: Incorrect/broken tapestry sold by the artisan trader Fixed: run.sh shipping with the server archive Fixed: Should fix malefactor gear exploit with placing and breaking gears. panning now also is affected by the gear collection bonus. Fixed: Unable to fill barrels with creative mode liquids Fixed: Maybe fixes body temperature not applied (potential client<->server desync) Fixed: Worldedit imported sheep lactatable forever Fixed: Missing remappings for longblade molds Api refactors: Added argument "EnumMergePriority priority" in Collectible.GetMergableQuantity() to fix a rather serious bug. Consequently, also added the same argument to ItemSlot.CanTakeFrom() View full record

I'd love to but I need detection names. I don't have a PC for every antivirus program out there, I'm afraid. Symantec I already tried to report, but their max upload size is 100mb >.>

I think the time is not right yet to do worldgen. In the back of my mind I've been aiming to do significant worldgen changes no earlier than May next year, which means the last major worldgen update would be 2 years ago, which feels about right

Dear Community, now as v1.14 is around the corner its time to decide what we'd like to do in v1.15. What is your favorite pick? Disclaimer: Poll results are no guarantee that all of the advertised features will be in v1.15. The VS Team still reserve the rights to make the final decision on what to add next. That being said, community poll results usually have strong weight.

Thank you, we'll adapt the naming!

Yes, install the files into different directories and use a different --dataPath arg

I would also prefer to keep foul language outside of this forum. In any case, the game is advertised as "an uncompromising wilderness survival sandbox game". If we were to make knapping easier, we would compromise our mission. It sure is tempting to make the game accessible for everyone, but we'd end up with a lower fidelity product, in believe. I did however spend a lot of extra effort in making sure that inteprid players can at least adjust the game to their needs with lots of configuration options and easy modding. You could create 3x3 grid crafting recipes - minecraft style - for all the tools and weapons in the game. Go to %appdata%/VintageStory/assets/survival/recipes/grid and e.g. copy bed.json over to flintaxe.json and adjust the input and output parameters as needed. You can find the item codes in the creative inventory by hovering over items and with debug info enabled (type .edi in chat). Any mistakes you make during recipe creation should be logged in server-main.txt so you can find out what you did wrong. I've attached an (untested) example that you could drop into that folder flintaxe.json

Yes, use the worldedit gui. There is a tutorial video on it that explains the most of it: The rest is documented on the wiki

this should be fixed in v1.14

To remove the trader you need 2 things. This will show you the trader entityid. Then you do And regarding removing the claim, I think thats actually missing right now [Edit:] Added the command /land adminfreehere to remedy that.

You can tinker together your own setup for multiple VS versions with/without mods by using the --dataPath argument on the VintageStory.exe file, but a convenient launcher is still missing, yes.

Dear Feature-Rich Community v1.14.0-pre.1, a preview release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). We wanted to dedicate this update to the endless list of small-ish ideas that have accumulated over time and never got the chance to properly implement. As usual, we only got about half way through our list Please notice 1. This is an unfinished update, mostly intended for modders and very adventurous players. You will encounter major bugs, incomplete features, performance issues and crashes. 2. New "pre" updates will only be posted in discord #news and not on the blog. A new v1.14 blog post will come when the first release candidate is ready. Until v1.14-rc.1 we still hope to add Steel age (~50% completed) Finished character classes and seraph skin customization's Updated ruins with detailing blocks and containing mossy and lichen covered blocks Meteoric iron armor set Maybe some fish (no fishing mechanic yet though, sorry!) More body temperature addition Screenshots and Videos Player Character Skin Customizer (and later character classes/traits. Very unfinished!)

Place it on the ground, add a stick, then twist the curd bundle to squeeze out the whey. Right click again to open it, to reveal raw cheese Salt your raw cheese, optionally apply wax for greater freshness Raw cheese must be placed on shelves in a cellar to ripen it. Rumor has it that certain conditions even allows the growth of edible cheese molds. Ripe cheese is place-able and can be sliced with a knife for direct consumption Feature: Added meteoric iron working, tools made from meteoric iron are roughly 20% better than normal iron.

@Allan Nielsen, @Hurlyclaw be sure to be on the same Wifi / Lan network and that your local firewall lets through port 42420

Wait, you're trying to connect to your own server running on the same computer? You should definitely be able to connect using 'localhost' as address

Its quite interesting, yea. Last minecon they added foxes and berry bushes, which we already had in VS. Then they added bees, which we also already had in VS. I don't think Mojang knows about Vintage Story though. But if they do, it would sure be nice to know

A VS server should run notably better than a Minecraft server on the same hardware. It is still getting somewhat bottlenecked by single threaded performance when 20+ players are online, but we also don't have much data on high player volume servers. I wrote some specs to the bottom of this page now: https://www.vintagestory.at/selfhosting/

Yup, it'll definitely run on those specs, not at max graphics settings though.
