Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.9, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). [Edit:] Also released 1.18.10 to fix an issue with the installers and removed a untested fix. Screenshot by Galejro, shared in #screenshots on Discord Game updates New since 1.18.9-rc.1 Tweak: Minor held item info tweaks. (Removed Light absorption info, added clutter notice to clutter block) Fixed: Should fix a rare crash with lightning strikes in creative worlds Fixed: Support beam placement derp when used on chiseled blocks Fixed: Rafts sinking while moving (caused by the speed changes in 1.18.9-rc.1) Fixed: All liquids in container no longer halftransparent Fixed: Not able to read current value via /worldconfig if its one created via /worldconfigcreate Feature: Game servers can now be launched in standby mode (via command line argument -s). In this mode the server is ready to accept connections from clients, but has not launched yet. As soon as the first connection attempt is made, full server launch commences. This allows server owners to launch servers with very low RAM usage until the first player connects - tests show a 20-fold reduction in RAM usage (557 MB -> 25 MB). This can be used in conjunction with the "Players last online" counter of the /stats command to auto-shutdown idle servers and restart them in standby mode. During standby mode, only the commands /stop and /stats are available. Feature: Added new world config to define the despawn time of items dropped on death - only affects those dropped on death, not other dropped items. Can also use /worldconfig droppedItemsTimer command and specifying the time in seconds Tweak: Increased raft speed by 33% Tweak: Windows Installer: Add option to install .NET 7.0 (if not already present) Fixed: Pies in water crashing the game (#3041, thanks Dmitry221060) Fixed: More farmland moisture level oddities Fixed: Weird visual artifacts in the foliage tinting during certain times of year Fixed: --port arg not applying to master server advertising Fixed: Massive lag spikes when loading or searching in the public servers list Fixed: Rare game crash due to a 3rd party dependency not installed on the system (#3028) Fixed: Other players crashing when a player cancels during world load (thanks Dmitry221060) Fixed: Rare crashes on Ubuntu v22.04 (including crashes for clients, if the server was running that version of Linux) #2999, #3009, thanks to all who investigated the issues View full record

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.9-rc.1, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). Work on v1.19 is underway! It will likely be a smaller update than usual, but also completed sooner than usual. In the mean time, there are more important changes that we would like to release as part of 1.18 still.

We will likely re-add support for ARM within a year or so

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.8, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). As mentioned in the previous devlog post we are migrating from the .net4 to the .net7 framework. It was a half year long parallel project that is now finally ready. Thank you to everyone who tested our net7 testing releases, that was immensely helpful! Screenshot by ElvisAlligator, shared in #screenshots on Discord Game updates (compared to 1.18.7) Changes in 1.18.8.rc.1 Feature: VS now runs under the .net7 framework, improving overall performance Feature: added option to set the window to be always on top (useful for multi-monitor setups with the net7 versions of the game) Tweak: server.sh for Linux servers: Fixed check for requirements and use the net7 dotnet binary to not require DOTNET_ROOT to be set to start the server Fixed: RiftWard stuck in off state when turned off and the world was reloaded (thanks Eugene [Discord] and korobya [PR #21]) Changes since 1.18.8-rc.1 Fixed: Able to refuel the terminus teleporter by breaking and placing it (thanks korobya) Fixed: Able to freely transport boiling water from hotsprings. Will now turn into normal water instead. Fixed: Should fix water not rendering on AMD cards with dynamic shadows disabled View full record

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.8-rc.1, an unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). As mentioned in the previous devlog we've decided to push forward the .net7 migration of our game. To recap, .net (also written .NET but we think lowercase looks nicer!) is the software framework that we use to create the game and its latest incarnation, .net7, brings wide ranging performance optimizations that we are looking to capitalize on. This update 1.18.8 is functionally nearly identical to game version 1.18.7 except we have upgraded from net4 to net7. Players running this have been reporting large performance boosts... Note that it may require a download of the latest .net from Microsoft (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/7.0) if you do not have that already. Vintagehosting (our server hosting service) does not yet support 1.18.8 but we hope to get that ready in a day or two. Vintagehosting support for 1.18.8 is also in testing phase. If you run into issues please downgrade to 1.18.7. This .net7 project had its roots in a proof-of-concept made in a couple of days by some of our community members. One of them now works for Anego Studios overseeing the net7 migration! I estimate it took us roughly 450 man hours to fully support it. One software library the modding community depended on wasn't even available for net7 until late this spring. As always, the devil is in the detail You would not believe how many issues we ran into when preparing this for public release. Glad to have this mostly complete now - let's squeeze out every last bit of performance from this engine!

We'll try to do 1.18.8-rc.1 as full switchover to net7 this week still, maybe even today

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.7, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). This update contains a number of high priority fixes that make another 1.18 release worthwhile. Anego Studios Status update After the hectic release of 1.18 most off us went off the gas pedal, took some time off to recharge and enjoy the summer days. Most of the team has now returned from their holidays and activity is picking up again. As for me personally, there are a number of loose ends that I need to tie up before I can fully focus on actual game content again. I started on some updates on our model creator so that our artists can work to the best of their abilities, as well as some improvements to our world edit commands for Elvas, our builder. At the same time th3Dilli is finishing up the .net7 version of the game and so we are looking into perhaps making the plunge to .net7 as a minor update to 1.18. The release is however tightly coupled to also supporting .net7 on our Vintagehosting servers which is now in testing phase, while (again) at the same time we are in the final phases having principal mod support for Vintagehosting, which also requires a couple of updates on the game client for convenient mod management. On another front I am currently attempting to delegate more work that I have been doing so far, which is also a time intensive process. The first step in that direction was to promote Vallen to community manager and disabling my direct messages on discord, as about 50% of all DMs were things that can be handled via support tickets. I'm also looking into handing over development of Vintagehosting as well as a potential rewrite of the model creator. Redram has been churning out some very interesting mechanical power and animal models, but we don't know yet into which release those will go. Radfast has embarked on a grand journey deep into the game engine code, possibly never to be seen again . Should he re-emerge on the other side then the game engine will have an epic new feature that I shall not disclose for now Elvas is currently doing a full rework on our existing surface ruins, but I also cannot tell when that will make it into the game - soon or later for sure The next story event is in planning phase as well, I personally hope we can prepare some of it already as part of the 1.19 update - we still need to figure out what to prioritize, as we already have a gigantic list of things we would want to address as part of a dejank update. And lastly, most of the team, including myself, will meet for the first time in real life in London this October. We'll also take a peek at the EGX Event that happens around that time, and we'll likely also invite every one of you to come say hello. More information on that later. While taking quite some time organize, I believe it will greatly benefit us in the long term. In short, lots of things happening! Screenshot by Ave_Maria, shared in #screenshots on Discord Game updates Tweak: Can now eat honey comb directly Tweak: Added logging to identify issue with missing textures on toolracks Tweak: Show all processes on Linux and Mac too with /debug threadpoolstate Fixed: Completely broken visuals on some items stored on the ground, such as shoes Fixed: Block ticking not working at all in some cases in large worlds Fixed: Do not spawn massive amounts of threads during worldgen on CPUs with high core count. Should fix high cpu usage on CPUs with 20+ cores (and my game servers running at the same time) Fixed: .reload textures command not working and producing invisible chunks on redraw Fixed: Farmland had incorrect moisture level calculation from rainfall (thanks Amzd!) Fixed: Game server freezing completely on certain chunks from old savegames Fixed: Landform scale world config missing translation entries and using wrong default values Fixed: Able to build a coke oven from any material Fixed: Copying positions to clipboard should be disallowed if allowCoordinateHud is off and not with allowMap being off Fixed: /time add command result message only returning invalid language key Fixed: Coal burning only in layers (2 items) instead of per single coal Fixed: When only one coal was left in a coal pile you could not pick it up Fixed: .charsel leaving changed class on the client side if the player did not have permission to change it in the first place View full record

Dear players, as part of our net7 upgrade we also exchanged much of the framework required to run the game, which also has better support for mac, so we would be very interested to know if this version works for mac users now - with the potential of officially supporting Mac again. You can download the net7 build from info.vintagestory.at Thanks!

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.6, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). Hopefully the last release for 1.18.x unless something is critical enough to fix. Optionally, a .NET 7.0 build of this version is also available on info.vintagestory.at. It offers better and smoother performance and - in the vanilla game - no disadvantages that we are aware of. If you play a modded game, a very small number of the available mods for 1.18.6 will currently not load in the .NET 7.0 version, try your favourite mods and see! Gameplay in single player and multiplayer is identical between the .NET 7.0 build and the regular stable release. There are micro-differences in startup and shutdown which are hardly noticeable, for example in the way that it switches in and out of fullscreen mode. Modders: if your mod is coded and uses any GUI, please see the API Tweak mentioned below, this should help you to create a 1.18.6 version of your mod which works in the same way under both stable and .NET 7.0 releases. In future, we plan for upcoming 1.19.x and later versions of Vintage Story to be released in .NET 7.0 only, so this .NET 7.0 build can be seen as a sneak preview of that! As a reminder, .NET is the software framework that players must have installed to run the game. Its latest incarnation, .NET 7.0, provides us with noticeable performance and stability gains for the game. Our .NET 7.0 page provides a link where you can download .NET 7.0 from Microsoft if you don't have it already. NET 7.0 also greatly helps Mac and Linux compatibility, we are pleased to see large performance benefits on Linux, and we are working on getting back to the game being fully playable on Mac OS as well. As for 1.19 - we still plan that one to be focused on De-jank. That means finishing up some loose ends, adding a few small new features and one major new feature (which will be a surprise!), as well as reworking a few of the not yet optimally designed mechanics. Stay tuned! Screenshot by alostgrue, shared in #screenshots on Discord Game updates Tweak: Updated community translations Tweak: Added a number of missing translation entries Fixed: Avoid a rift ward crash Fixed: Sign/Label typing oddities (text didnt autobreak) Fixed: Using 1-click mod install while a game world is loaded caused undefined behavior.

Also includes all the fixes from 1.18.6-rc.1 and 1.18.6-rc.2: Tweak: Polar bears now cannot climb, but can swim faster than other bears Tweak: Polar bears visually lower in the water when swimming Tweak: (cosmetic) Bear respiratory rate slower when sleeping, sitting or standing still, depending on size of bear Tweak: Handbook display of baking result now shows "(in oven)" not "(in firepit)"Tweak: Additional optional parameter for command /debug logticks to include off-thread data in results Tweak: Changed command /entity cmd [selector] wipeall to /entity wipeall as it does not require a selector Tweak: v1.18.5 had fixed the server privileges escalation issue only by ~90%. This version should be 100% secure now on that aspect. 1.18.6 clients require servers to be on 1.18.6 as well. (Technical info: Completely reworked client<->server handshake) Tweak: Added capability to disable player-2-player collisions (/worldconfigcreate bool player2PlayerCollisions false) Tweak: Added frameprofiling capability for server threads to help find a performance leak likely in one of the threads. Add command /debug threadpoolstate Fixed: Crocks, bowls, and other food containers were losing cellar protection if picked up in 1.18.5 Fixed: Stone, wood and brick slabs placed vertically adjacent to snow could show Unknown (?) texture Fixed: Bears stuck in running animation forever (when chasing a creature which is in a hole the bear cannot fit into) Fixed: Electrum plate could not be smithed Fixed: Drifter drops are no longer affected by weight; drifter info no longer shows Low Weight (or any weight at all!) - so you should generally now receive more loot (on average) from killing drifters Fixed: Bees not being aggressive since 1.18.2 Fixed: Night Vision Mask duplication by putting in more then one gear as fuel Fixed: Decor blocks and also sometimes entities (armor stands etc.) were missing from any structures rotated by worldgen prior to placement Fixed: Axe breaking while felling a tree left floating leaves Fixed: Bucket with alcohol portion showing up in handbook Fixed: Player in bed rotation being backwards Fixed: Raft animations getting broken when pressing too many keys Fixed: Metal parts not centered in GUI Fixed: When unmounting a mountable (raft/bed) placed by someone else, the server did not unmount the using player, when seen by others Fixed: It was possible to read coordinates in other ways in games with worldmap disabled Fixed: Prospecting Pick results (and other chat window output localised to the individual player) are now shown in English if the player's own language is missing the translation Fixed: Extended picking range when mouse is not grabbed (thanks to @noelle-lavenza) [details: Github issue #42] Fixed: Log spam from EntityPhysics after a mod caused an exception in called entity code (for example, if an entity died during physics ticking due to walking into fire or lava, and a mod could not interpret that death reason) Fixed: Rare crash in Clay Oven Fixed: /land claim grant|revoke crashing the game if the claim had not yet been loaded Fixed: Rare client crash in CullVisibleFacesWithDecor due to multithreading Fixed: /wgen testmap rockstrata not working API Tweak: Deprecate methods in GuiElement with Bitmap parameters, please use equivalent overloads with BitmapExternal (this helps to prepare your mod for .NET 7.0, so that re-coding a mod for .NET 7.0 may then not be necessary: note that System.Drawing.Bitmap does not exist in .NET 7.0) API Feature: IServerAPI.AddServerThread() allows mods to create ServerThreads: advantages are that thread pause, shutdown and tick profiling are managed by the server API Tweak: IContainedMeshSource can now return a null mesh to ask the caller to make a default mesh instead; and the container block may be smarter about drawing the textures of IContainedMeshSource items (needs testing!)

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.6-rc.2, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). We are currently hunting down a small-ish performance leak on the loose, which should not impact most players, but has a significant impact on our Vintagehosting servers, as the problem is multiplied hundredfolds there. That is the reason I am a bit wary of going stable still. This is probably also a good opportunity to give you a small update on the current state of the game. Th3Dilli and radfast have been tirelessly working on 1.18.6 bugfixes, further performance tweaks, .NET 7.0 preparations as well as developing a new build pipeline for .NET 7.0 releases. Meanwhile the rest of the team is starting to work on 1.19. It is very likely that 1.19 will become the version where we fully migrate to .NET 7.0 and drop the .Net 4 builds. As a reminder, .NET is the software framework that players use to run the game and its latest incarnation, .NET 7.0, will provide us with noticeable performance and stability gains for the game. It will also help Mac and Linux compatibility, we are pleased to see that the .NET 7.0 test builds appear to be back to being fully playable on Mac OS, and have large performance benefits on Linux. As for myself, I had to take some time off to visit family, tend after my attention-hungry garden and to generally go touch some nature after spending a long cold Latvian winter in front the screen . That being said though, I've been itching to get back into some coding again! As for 1.19 - we still plan that one to be focused on De-jank. That means finishing up some loose ends, adding a few small new features, as well as reworking a few of the not yet optimally designed mechanics. Stay tuned!

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.18.4&5, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager (section "Other Goodies"). [Edit:] Also released 1.18.5 to fix issues isolated to some players. Dear players, please update to this version, it fixes a number of issues in 1.18.3. Multiplayer games: There is a server privileges security issue in 1.18.3 (and earlier game versions) which can affect especially the admins and other staff of multiplayer servers. It will not affect anything outside the multiplayer game and so far we have not gotten reports that this security issue has actually been abused by anyone, but even so we now advise everyone playing multiplayer to update to 1.18.5. Will tell more info about the issue in a couple of days. Note: a 1.18.5 client will require a 1.18.5 server to connect to.
