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.

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

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!)

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.

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

Dear Seasonal Community v1.13.1-rc.1, an unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager For this update I focused on the more exotic bugs - those that appear only for some players with certain settings or certain hardware or happening only in certain situations, as well as some very tricky to fix ones.

Game updates Tweak: Seasons are now also enabled for patchy climate worlds, although not gameplay-balanced for it Tweak: Stability updates to the world map The persistently stored chunks are now stored as-is.
