Version 1.7-rc.1, a testing release, is now ready for download in the account manager. The goal of version 1.7 was to add more gameplay mechanics and boy do we have lots of new gameplay. I'm still the sole programmer for all the gameplay content but nonetheless we somehow managed to cram in a huge amount of tweaks and features into this update. The trader update didn't make it, the mechanics are basically finished, but I find it needs some more balancing and also is probably better bundled with a future worldgen update. We added some experimental new sounds and animations - for the spear, axe and pickaxe. These might change still if they don't feel pleasant during long-term play. Enjoy! Pretty pictures Animal Husbandry: Boars, Bighhorn sheep and Chicken can now be fed with Troughs, which will cause them to reproduce. Chickens will lay eggs every 8-15 days. Each generation of raised animal will be less afraid of players. Cooking System: You can now cook porridge, stew, cooked vegetables and soup in a pot over the fire pit. Each of them are dynamically composed based on the ingredients you put, allowing for a huge variety of meals. Nutrient System: Reduced base Health points from 20 down to 15 points. Can now raise max health points until 25 hp when eating food from every nutrient category. Much Improved Dropped Items: Dropped items now behave more realistically and move out of blocks 3D Models for Meat, Bread, Ingots and Stones. More Meat varieties Improved farming: You're no longer need to plant besides water, you can water your farmland with a watering can, which keeps the soil moist for 24 in-game hours. Hoeing the ground is no longer instant. Added cabbage crop. All crops require twice as much time to grow. Improved bucketry: Buckets now can hold up to 10 litres of water or honey. Dough crafting recipe is now much more liberal as it is now shapeless simply consumes 1 litre of water per dough. Can now pour honey into the bucket and take it out again Combat improvements: Spear Attack animation is now much improved and the hit feedback is now instant instead of delayed Drag left click to distribute items in inventory. Also can now do CTLR + Left/right cursor to jump words when editing text Improved Lava: Now more glowy and has bubbles Improved mining experience More particles, custom rock mining sounds, custom rock breaking sounds Improved brightness The game should be less of an eye strain now New blocks - stone path stairs and glass slabs Full game updates list Feature: Animal husbandry Chicken now lay eggs every 8-15 days on the ground, be sure to check regularly though, as they disappear after 2 days Chickens, Boars and Bighorn sheep can now be fed through troughs which will cause them to reproduce. Every generation you raise will become less afraid of the player (and should no longer be afraid after 50 generations) Chicken: Feed with small trough, fill with any grain Boars & Sheep: Feed with large trough, fill with any grain or dry grass Feature: Cooking System Added clay pot, can placed in a firepit to have 4 cooking slots available Can now cook 4 kinds of meals which will yield the combined saturation and health gains when eaten.Here are the valid recipes. Note: the vegetable part encompasses all the crop vegetables, mushrooms, pumpkin and soybeans. Fill each slot with max. one item for one serving. Porridge: 2-4 grain, 0-2 berry, 0-2 vegetable, 0-1 honey Soup: 1 water (from bucket), 0-3 vegetable, 0-1 redmeat/poultry/egg Stew: 2-4 redmeat/poultry, 0-2 eggs, 0-2 vegetables, 0-1 berry, 0-1 honey Vegetable Stew: 2-4 vegetable To eat a meal, place the pot on the table and take a serving with a clay bow in hands, or vice versa Don't forget, you can also cook multiple servings at once in the clay pot! Feature: Improved dropped items No longer bobbing and rotating Cast shadows Bob in the water instead Are now larger Added throw sound Now push themselves out of blocks Feature: Farming Improvements Can now water farmland with watering cans, which makes it watered for 24 ingame hours Creating farmland with the hoe is now animated and no longer instant Crops take now twice as long to grow New Crop: Cabbage. Can be found in loot vessels (seeds and farming vessels). Feature: Food improvements Bread is now in 3D Meat is now in 3D and is now divided up in Bushmeat, Red meat and Poultry Feature: Nutrient System The player now has a base max health of 15 points Different foods supply different nutrients. Eating a healthy balance of all foods will raise the max-hp to 25 points In the character dialog one can now see the current nutrients levels Feature: Basic Leaf Decay Decays small chunks of leaves if a nearby leaves block has been broken. Large chunks of leaves still will keep floating in mid-air Feature: Poultice Now intended as the main healing item, crafted from reed/linen plus horsetail or honey+sulfur. Depending on ingredients it heals 2-7 hp Nerfed honey bowl eating properties. Now only heals 0.5h instead of 4 hp, therefore gives 60 saturation. Feature: Combat improvements Hit feedback now instant (used to be 50-100 milliseconds delayed) Greatly Improved spear attack animation. Actual impact now also delayed. Feature: Mining improvements Stones and Ingots are now 3D Models Breaking ore/rock with a pick now plays a more distinct sound Breaking and Hitting sounds can now differ. Added rock falling apart sounds upon breakage More particles! Mining with a pick sometimes creates sparks and a lot of sparks when trying to break a block whose mining tier is too high Feature: Rusty gears now randomly spawn on cave floors Feature: Added entity spawner block (creative mode only feature) Feature: Improved chunk generation and chunk loading performance by 40 to 100%. (techical details: Worldgen now longer runs expensive sunlight flooding algos on empty chunks above ground (doubles chunk gen speed on a 2048 high creative world), Client now tesselates multiple chunks per tick if they are empty.) Feature: Reduced lag spikes. Particularly when the game loads world chunks (technical details: the large object heap compacter tries to not compact during normal gameplay, increased the chunk data pool size and uncached chunk data elements are now released at a slower rate) Feature: Improved bucketry Buckets can now hold honey Easier to create dough as the recipe is shapeless and just consumed 1 out of 10 litres of water from the bucket Can be thrown in water for filling Feature: Left click drag item stacks to evenly distribute them Feature: Better Lava Graphics - now more glowy and bubbly Feature: Improved godray shader performance by ~25% Feature: Improved overall cpu performance by ~1.5% (technical detail: Now using Environment.TickCount instead of Stopwatch.EllapseMs in chunk.Unpack() which is way more performant. Since Unpack() is called *very* often inside a lock(), it seem to have caused notable lock contention of 2.5seconds over a 2 minute period. This is now down to 80ms) Feature: The game now remembers the maximized window state Feature: Added credits page Feature: Can now hold CTRL + Left/Right cursor to jump words when editing text Feature: Improved crash reporter, now also displays the last 3 entries of the event log, should help us find hard to track crashes Feature: Block info hud now also shows infos on the targeted entity Tweak: Increased overall brightness of the game by 25% Tweak: Gameplay Balancing changes Wolves, Hyenas and Foxes now drop less nutritious bush meat Boosted worldgen spawn rates for chicken by 50% Reduced respawn rates of creatures Hyenas 33% less Locusts 65% less Chicken, Boards and Bighorn sheep: 70% less Log => Firewood recipe now yields 4 firewood instead of 3 Halved the health gain from vegetables Fixed Smelting quartz in the Bloomery yielding half as much glass than it should have Breaking a harvestable skep now returns some of the cattails Knifes now break plant blocks a little faster, including reeds. E.g. iron knife gets a 2x break speed boost Buffed arrows: Chicken now drop 6 feathers instead of 4 Arrows that impacted creatures now have a 50% chance of not getting destroyed. 65% chance for metal arrows. Used to be 0% for either Tweak: Coordinate hud now displays absolute y position Tweak: Standing still now drains saturation 3 times slower Tweak: Reduced default mouse smoothing value from 50 down to 30 Tweak: Beehives are now a bit more informative - they will now show if the hive is going to swarm Tweak: Shovel and Axe smithing recipes now only require 1 ingot to smith Tweak: 3 new tabs in the creative inventory: Creatures, Tools, Clothing Tweak: Added a writable check for savegames for better error reporting Tweak: Standing still now drains saturation 3 times slower Tweak: Axe and Shovel smithing recipes are now smaller so that they only consume 1 ingot Tweak: Can now transfer a portion from a held bucket into a placed bucket Tweak: Added command .reload sounds Tweak: Added glass slabs and path stairs Tweak: New chop sounds when chopping a tree with an axe Tweak: Straw dummies can now be picked up by their owner with sneak+right click. Pre 1.7 dummies can be picked by anyone. Fixed: Might fix the issue where a multiplayer server sends a disconnect message to the client but the client only errors with "No bytes were received" Fixed: Filling multiple wooden buckets in the same slot deleting all but 1 bucket Fixed: 3rd person camera clipping into the terrain in some cases Fixed: The check to ensure that Vintage Story runs only once was not working Fixed: Scrolling through creative inventory with mousewheel now consistent and independent of total height Fixed: Protected areas (through land claiming) not reverted on the client side, making it look like breaking/using blocks suceeded Fixed: Worldedit mirroring of slabs and trapdoors did not work correctly Fixed: Raw clay blocks not blocking light Removed: Crafting recipe for grass covered soil blocks Removed: server.sh - replaced with server-old.sh Removed: Player starting bread. Therefore the player is not hungry for the first 12 minutes (unless he dies) Mod API Updates Feature: The survival inventory now has a scrollbar, allowing ~infinite extension of the survival inventory Feature: Player start items are now moddable (survival/config.json) Feature: Vanilla mods refactor. There is now an VSEssentials mod that includes the json asset loader code, which used to be in the survival mod. Survival mod can now be disabled and that also disables all the survival assets, without disabling the json asset loader. TL;DR: More Blank Slate engine! \o/ Feature: Added variant groups system also for Entities \o/ Feature: Refactored random block color system. Now has a notably cleaner api. Feature: Mods are now sorted by dependency again Feature: Added api methods api.TesselatorManager.GetDefaultBlockMeshRef() and api.TesselatorManager.GetDefaultItemMeshRef(), Feature: Added new api methods that lets you more conveniently update the texture atlas during runtime: CompositeTexture.RuntimeBake() ITextureAtlasAPI.InsertTexture() Feature: New particle property - particles can now spawn new particles upon death. See Lava block as example. Feature: Refactored all attack/interact methods of Blocks and Items they now take in the ref argument EnumHandHandling handling that gives you more fine grained control over the engines behavior. Removed the boolean return value as it is now obsolete. Feature: Crafting recipes now allow multiple wildcards in the ingredients Feature: Buckets can now handle modded liquids Feature: Block hit/break sounds are now separate. Can now have tool specific block hitting/breaking sounds. See rock.json for example Tweak: Highlight blocks system now also available client side Tweak: Converted most of the client side events to C#-Style Events, sorry for the breakage Tweak: Smeltables/Cookables can now have a maxTemperature (example: cooking pot) Fixed: Removed hardcoded check on entity render LoadShape thing (as found by doan) Fixed: Block json property AllowSpawnCreatureGroups not properly loaded. New recipes: (Clay pot and watering can are made with clayforming) View full record

Version 1.6.10, a stable release, is now ready for download in the account manager. Ok this should fix the current major showstoppers. Only affects server owners, multiplayer players and mac os users with non english keyboard layouts. You can stay on 1.6.8/1.6.9 if you are not affected by these bugs. Game updates Tweak: Added server commandline arg --genconfig to generate config files without starting the server Fixed: Some MacOS users not able to type '@' - so as a temporary workaround added a button to insert the '@' into the email field. Proper fix is more complicated and will take some more time. Fixed: Game crashing on multiplayer if another player joins the game that is out of range Fixed: Game crashing / worldmap dialog going all wonky if map is closed with Esc-Key instead of M, then reopend Fixed: Game crashing upon leaving the world when the map was never opened Fixed: Standalone server trying to launch the ErrorReporter dialog upon crash, crashing from that and no longer displaying the original crash View full record

Version 1.6.9, a stable release, is now ready for download in the account manager. Sorry, some bugfixes I introduced 1.6.7 and 1.6.8 produced crashes Game updates Fixed: Some blocks (filled tool mold, filled ingot mold, clay forming surface) exported/imported through WorldEdit schematics not properly updating their block/item mappings, causing crashes on the client when imported. Fixed: A few more small memory leaks Fixed: Digging all the way to the bottom causing the world map to crash Fixed: Various issues related to the .clients command and worldmap player overlay. Fixed: Server exception thrown (and kicking out clients) when placing blocks near ladders API Updates Tweak: The client event api now has 2 new events: PlayerEntitySpawn and PlayerEntityDespawn. These trigger when a player gets in range of the player or out of range of the player. The events PlayerSpawn/PlayerDespawn now have been renamed to PlayerJoin/PlayerLeave which indicate when a player connects/disconnects to/from a server

Version 1.6.6, a stable release, is now ready for download in the account manager. Spent some time to improve memory usage and frame rate smoothness. Game updates Tweak: Improved godrays effect performance: Low quality godrays no longer have graphical glitches, making them on par with high quality godrays, so the high quality godrays setting is gone now. This eliminates the large fps drop that came with high quality godrays when looking at a 90 deg angle away from the sun Tweak: Improved GUI redraw performance. This might fix the rare case where coordinate hud causes regular stutter. Fixed: Two dozens of memory leaks in the GUI system Fixed: Large memory leak when leaving a single- or multiplayer world Fixed: Fox hitbox too large Fixed: Windows Installer not asking for destination folder when the game is already installed Fixed: (Rare?) Server side crash Fixed: Gravel/Sand not falling in some cases where it should (e.g. when placed above water) Fixed: Worldmap dialog coordinate tool tip emtpy right after opening it, until the mouse was moved

The 1.6.0 release was a tad less stable than I hoped for I also updated a 3rd party library (with the help of @Stroam), which may fix a long standing issue with memory usage slowly skyrocketing after playing for more than an hour. And maybe it also fixes the strange lag spike issue that sometimes appears when you have the block info and coordinate hud opened. Both bugs I presume to be caused by that library (Cairo graphics). Anyhow, have a 1.6.1 - with bismuth lanterns! Game updates Feature: Added bismuth lanterns. Crafted like a normal lantern, but made from bismuth! Tweak: Spider webs now break much faster Tweak: The players 3rd person break and place animation now smoothly ease out Fixed: Drifter death sound not positional Fixed: Players able to place water in protected aras Fixed: Placing a plate pile deleting other blocks Fixed: 2 different crashes caused by using the quern Fixed: Closing worldmap dialog not relocking mouse cursor Fixed: Updated Cairo graphics library to latest version, might fix the long standing memory leak issues that appear after an hour of game play \o/ Fixed: Page break issues in the journal Fixed: Bow shooting arrow heads Fixed: Intro music playing in-game, on top of the normal music Fixed: Rare deadlock issue causing the server tick rate to go to 0 Fixed: Small tweak to maybe prevent a crash of the sound engine Fixed: Small memory leak in the world map, and the log spam it causes Fixed: Error reporter dialog not showing server side errors Fixed: Beemobs and dropped items never despawning Fixed: Placing a straw dummy crashes the game View full record

Trady Vintarians Version 1.6.0-rc.1, a testing release, is now ready for download in the account manager. This was the release to finally contain traders that spawn randomly throughout the world from which you can buy unusual items and make a buck or 2 from selling wares. Turns out my desire to create high quality content makes it explode scope-wise. I wanted that you can easily find traders once you discovered them, so I added a world map. When I started adding the world map, I came to the conclusion that all of the GUI system should be made moddable, so I did that too. After that I did manage to complete the selling/buying mechanic and the time came to add small trader stations to world generation, but those should definitely be build protected so that they can't be griefed, and hey while we're at it, let's do it properly and turn this into a land claiming system that's also available to the average player! And lastly in-between all that, let's a "small" fun feature - Weather! Turns out that is way bigger feature with huge implications on the rendering system. In the meantime, Saraty did a massive overhaul of all the Seraph clothing, badly needed 2 more character slots and improved the graphics fidelity in various areas of the game. Tatazaki spurred the development of a few bugfixes and a convenient crash reporter, copygirl further stabilized our mod api, creativemd did some great work on an easy-to-use modding environment setup (WIP) and Luke added 2 new great looking animals - the fox and hyena family! He also did a few gameplay balancing changes for which some of you might be very thankful for! So this update contains a massive foundation for the trader update, a lot of other small fancy features and a fat list of bugfixes and mod api improvements! Before you update This is a testing release, so bugs and unpolished features may be encountered more frequently Make a backup of your world before installing version 1.6-rc.1 After you update Worlds started before version 1.6-rc.1 will have broken leaves and clothes. Fix them by applying the remap commands as listed on the wiki page "Updating Old Worlds" If the game crashes when trying to create/load any world, please delete the file %appdata%/VintageStoryData/serverconfig.json once and try again Screenshots Ingame Worldmap Dynamic Weather System and Mist (no rain or snowfall yet, sorry!)
