Dear Homesteaders
v1.16.0-rc.6, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager.When will this bugfixing ever end? Will we still be alive to see the light of 1.16 stable? Do buzzwords like the cloud, NFTs, the Metaverse, 5G and blockchain rank this blog post higher in the google search results? Only time will tell!
Until then, here's some more bugfixes, for us, the "play to have fun" people
Game update

- Tweak: Added a rare drifter variant to temporal storms, which always drops a temporal gear (With a 20% chance instead of a corrupt/nightmare drifter. Spawns only once per player per storm. Hint: You should be able to increase the chance of it spawning by repeatedly killing corrupt/nightmare drifters)

This fix is now part of rc.4

oooh, there is actually a fix for this. Thanks for finding it!

Aw, that's unfortunate. Not much I can do on my end here, except forward the bug report to the mono devs.
Say does it also crash when you run VintageStoryServer.exe?

Dear Homesteaders
v1.16.0-rc.3, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager.Besides the usual round of fixes, we've also added a few extra creative mode blocks that felt lacking. They are essentially a subset of the current creative blocks, but light emitting. One with light level 22, and the other one with light level 4, the latter of which allows for some interesting chiseling possibilities. In total, there are 58 new creative mode light source blocks. I hope it inspires you to make some fancy colorful builds
Here are all the strongly light emitting ones
And a smaller selection of the faint light sources, but still strongly glowing ones, chiseled into rock:
Game updates
- Feature: Added 2 new sets of colorful creative mode blocks. One set of strong light and another with weak light, but both with max glow.
- Feature: Leather can now be dyed to make certain clothes (and a shield) instead of making the clothes in a barrel.
- Tweak: Boosted durability of steel armor to make it worthwhile (lamellar: 950->1600, brigandine: 1900->2600, chain: 1000->2000, scale: 2000->3500, steel: 3200->5500)
- Tweak: Added guides for alcohol and fruit trees, and other minor handbook entries.
- Tweak: Added recycling recipes for hay bed and thatched roof
- Tweak: Improved 1st person sling animation.
- Tweak: Leather is now a 3d model instead of a 2d sprite.
- Tweak: Slightly reduce fern tree density

- Fixed: Game crash when looking at rotten pots
- Fixed: Game crashing when an invalid language was set in the clientsettings.json

Dear Homesteaders
v1.16.0-rc.1, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager.
[Edit:] Also released rc.2 to fix a crash bug.Alrighty, 12 updates later v1.16 is feature complete. All that is left is to balance some mechanics and fix (hopefully mostly minor) bugs.
As with the last major update I will only list everything new since pre.1 and then for the first stable release present you with a complete feature list again. Anyhow, check out our update video!
Game updates- Everything listed in the pre.1 blog post + tons of bugfixes for all newly introduced features
- Feature: Easy multimaterial chiseling - can now easily add more materials to a chiseled block, by dropping blocks into the tool model selector dialog

- Feature: Added vertical planks block
- Feature: Added 11 colored tailored gambeson + recipes
- Feature: 3 more fruit tree types: Breadfruit, Lychee and Pomegranate
- Feature: Added Rifts. These appear and disappear at random in the world. Drain your stability when close to one. Surface drifters now only spawn within a 25 block radius of rifts.
- Feature: Clockmaker exclusive feature - hacking spear. Each hit with a hacking spear gives the clock maker a 15% chance to hack a locust, which will then fight by his side. Beware, hacked locus are extremely jealous on one another
-
Feature: Mushroom worldgen & growth rework
- Mushrooms no longer leave stumps when harvested, but will still regrow over time

-
Tweak: Major Crop rebalance. Doubled growth times and yields for most crops with some exceptions. (Experimental)
- Rye Cold Dmg changed to -12, Cold Mult to .75, and Heat Dmg to 27 (same heat dmg as turnip). Spawn conditions of Rye were changed to be in the -12 to 14 temperature range. Overal rye should now be more suited to northerly climates.
- Rice Heat Damage ceiling increased from default to 46.
- Peanut growth time was doubled, but yield was left alone.
- Amaranth growth time not changed, since its already about 50% of irl. Yield still doubled though.
- Cassava growth time was left alone, being already rather long (though still nowhere near irl). Yield was still doubled to keep the satiety per day vaguely 'competitive'.

-

- Tweak: Added white and gray dye

- Refactor: Begin Engine paradigm shift - recipe systems are no longer engine exclusive. The meal cooking recipe system is now moved from api/engine to the survival mod, with the plan being that all recipe systems (grid recipes, barrel recipes, smithing recipes, clay forming recipes and knapping recipes) will be transferred to the survival mod. This means:
- If you need to look up cooking recipes, reference VSSurvivalMod.dll and exchange world.CookingRecipes with "Api.ModLoader.GetModSystem<RecipeRegistry>().CookingRecipes" or through the helper method "Api.CookingRecipes()"
- If you only add cooking recipe json files, no changes are required
- You can now add your own recipe system. Check out RecipeRegistry.cs for reference (still needs handbook support, though)
- Refactor: The Handbook and all recipe system except grid recipes are now part of the survival mod. If you accessed any of the recipe lists via api.World.XXXRecipes, you now need to reference VSSurvivalMod.dll, then you can access them via api.GetXXXRecipes()
- Refactor: All Barrel recipes that have liquids as input or output, instead of quantity and stacksize respectively, these should now define "litres". However for backwards compatibility, if the recipe loader encounters a liquid ingredient or output without a litres definition, it will assume quantity/stacksize = litres and log a warning.
- Refactor: Rename BlockLiquidContainerBase.GetInContainerProps to BlockLiquidContainerBase.GetContainableProps
- Refactor: The block code for planks has changed from planks-{wood} to planks-{wood}-hor
- Refactor: Minor refactor in Weather/WeatherSimulationParticles.cs
- Tweak: Holding sneak key with .edi enabled shows you item attributes in the itemstack tooltip
- Tweak: RegisterAiTask and RegisterVtmlTagConverter is now in ICoreApi (through C# class extension in the esentials/survival mod)
- Tweak: Shape elements of zero size are now no longer tesselated
- Tweak: New tool: /debug heldstattr key type value
- Tweak: Added CollectibleObject.TpOffHandTransform
- Tweak: Added helper methods for ITreeAttribute Set/GetVec3i, Set/GetBlockPos and Set/GetVec3is
- Tweak: Added ISaveGame.StoreData<T> and ISaveGame.GetData<T>()
- Tweak: Added SendBlockEntityPacket<T>(IServerPlayer player, BlockPos pos, int packetId, T data = default(T)) BroadcastBlockEntityPacket<T>(BlockPos pos, int packetId, T data = default(T))
- Fixed: Handbook crashing the game on invalid grid recipes
- Fixed: Json patch addeach not implemented in the engine
- Fixed: game crashing when removing the hunger behavior from the player
- Fixed: Wildcard liquids in grid recipes crashing the handbook
- Fixed: CreativeInventoryStacks property not working properly for items
- Fixed: Wildcards not working on grid recipe returnedStacks
- Fixed: Failure to resolve itemstack for a crafting recipe ingredient did not print a warning
-
Fixed: Texture Rotation not applied to alternates when using * wildcard
New/Changed since pre.13
- Feature: Mushrooms no longer leave stumps when harvested, but will still regrow over time.

i'm a bit confused... using a rx580 i didn't feel that stutter, so i guess the tweak will cause it?
I experienced heavy stutter on a new world, on a RX 6600 XT, which was greatly mitigated by this change
12 hours ago, Hal13 said:under which circumstances didn't they do that? Or does that mean now they don't emit light anymore? But shouldn't they? I mean they are kinda just big campfires the way they are built... thought about using pitkilns for the light of a light house...
They were not emitting light, now they do

2. Changes to GUI-Control seems also fixed the `System.InvalidOperationException` Crash-to-Desktop, but will still invest some time to be 99%sure.
You probably have a line like this:
private void OnInventorySlotModified(int slotid) { SetupDialog(); }replace it with this
private void OnInventorySlotModified(int slotid) { // Direct call can cause InvalidOperationException capi.Event.EnqueueMainThreadTask(SetupDialog, "setupquerndlg"); }-

Tweak: Gambeson no longer High Damage Tier Resistant. Gambeson and leather armor also reduced to Tier 1 protection.
There's actually an error in this. The leather/gamebeson is still Tier 2 and will stay tier 2. I've fixed that now. The high damage resistance only has been removed. We felt removing both was too much of a debuff.

Dear Homesteaders
v1.16.0-pre.1, a preview release, can now be downloaded through the account manager. (section "Other Goodies").For this update we wanted to complete some of features that didn't make it into 1.15 as well as a few unplanned ones. It includes several features that some of our VS Team very much has been looking forward too. I personally am very happy with the new wind sway system - its programming is now way cleaner, more powerful, and likely a tad more performant. But also visually it feels way richer. Together with the new forest floors and new mushrooms, wandering the forests now feels amazing to me. That being said, the community will be the ultimate judge of that
Server owners will be very happy to see that one large barrier for players will soon be gone - the manual installation of mods. Highly frequented servers should now also become a lot more interesting with the addition of the auction house - as you can finally fully live out your merchant dreams.
The long promised bears, despite the teams large efforts, something like in the 200 man-hour range, are still not done yet, but we hope to have some version of them until rc.1.
Anyhow, we hope you'll enjoy the new updates. Thanks for playing and sharing your experiences and screenshots with us
Still planned for rc.1
Bears, Torch rework, Mushroom regrowth, fine tuning to mushroom world generation, a clock maker exclusive item, one more special drifter behavior, installing mods via command line, in-game mod browser, functional uses for alcohol, and maybe rifts
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. Worldgen might also significantly change and produce unknown blocks until rc.1
2. New "pre" updates will only be posted in discord #news and not on the blog. A new v1.16 blog post will come when the first release candidate is ready.
Screenshots & Gifs
Server wide auction house: Buy and sell on a global scale...for a price
Crates: Beautiful single item mass storage, with item labels and visible contents
Trunks: Like 2 chests together, but better!
Alcohol making: A fruit press, juice fermentation and a distillery for the ultimate drunken VS experience \o/
Liquid system rework: Now easier and more satisfying to use for modders and players alike!
Fruit Trees: 9 types of seasonal fruit producers. A flowery delight in spring!
Fruit tree dynamic growth: A fruit tree takes a while to mature
Fruit tree grafting: Fruit trees are propagated by taking and planting a cutting, but you can also graft it onto an existing fruit tree
Forest floors: Forests are so much more foresty now.
Mushroom bonanza: Over 26 new types of mushrooms (WIP! Mushroom regrowth still subject to change)
Improved wind effects: Rewritten and triple polished wind sway effects. Example - here's a wind swaying sunflower, before and after
Wind effects editor: VSMC, our official model editor now allows you to configure the wind say mode in great detail and with live preview
Ground storage tweaks: Can now 4x4 place pots, bowls and also optionally center place them
Ground storage tweaks: Can now place shoes on the ground and on shelves
Easy modded server joining: The game now tries to download mods from the VS Mod DB, no more manual installing required
Armor Stand Feature: They can now carry tools and weapons
Drifter Rework: They will now throw stones at you. Added a rare variant that spawns only during temporal storms
Improved hit knockback (experimental)
3D Models for berries and for the new fruits from fruit trees
Permadeath mode: Disabled by default, but now available for those that like the extra challenge
45° Signs: Can now also place signs at a 45 degree angle
Game updates-
Feature: Auction house! Every trader now gives you access to a server wide auction house where players can buy and sell items
-
To still encourage direct trade, the auction house comes with multiple (configurable) fees:
- 1 rusty gear for each week of having your item listed
- 10% sales cut for each item sold
- Transpot costs of 1 to 8 gears or direct pickup for free
- Everytime you join the server, you get a status update send to you in chat about your active auctions
- Server owners can configure the cost or disable the auction house altogether
-
To still encourage direct trade, the auction house comes with multiple (configurable) fees:
-
Feature: Crates
- Can now use any pigment to draw the contents of the crate. Added crafting recipes.
- Paper
- Feature: Added trunk block, a double sized chest
-
Feature Distillery and Fruit press
- All fruits can now be juiced in the fruit press
- Juice can now be fermented into cider
- Cider can be further distilled into spirit

-
Feature: Fruit trees
- Trees for red apple, pink apple, yellow apple, peach, pear, cherry, orange, olive, mango now spawn in newly generated chunks. Break the side branches for a chance to retrieve a cutting.
- This cutting, when planted, should sprout after a couple of days and eventually mature into a full tree (does not require fertilizer or watering for the time being)
- Fruit trees will yield fruit once a year, depending on the sort. They'll go through various distinct cycles: Flowering, Fruiting, Ripe fruit, No fruit and then Dormant for decidious trees, which is a leafless version only with branches. The evergreens (mango, orange and olive) stay green all year round.
- Ripe fruit can then be used for cooking and juicing
- Fruit trees planted in an unsuitable climate will die
- Feature: 26 new types of mushrooms, some of them now growing on the sides of trees
-
Feature: Greatly improved mod support

- Made storm level winds more impactful
- Added water storm particles
-
Feature: Ground storage rework
- Any 2x2 storable can now be placed in the middle
- Pots, bowls and crocks are now 2x2 ground storable, while still able to transfer foods between them
-
Feature: Liquid system rework
- When operating with liquids, instead of showing the stack size it shows the amount in litre. Implemented min. transfer size. Buckets let you transfer 1 litre each, bowls 0.1 litre each

Feature: Auction house! Every trader now gives you access to a server wide auction house where players can buy and sell items

At 3:13:61 it seems like that was caused by grass growing. Once it's done growing it'll probably won't make moss disappear anymore

@TyronThanks for answering!
Yay, I'm relieved it's not intentional. 
Now I just hope you find time to work on it someday. The moss is really great for decorating structures like dungeons.
Yea, sorry for not replying to your DMS yet, they are very large and I didn't find the time to read them fully.
Did a quick test with the moss - placed some then reloaded the world. All seemed to stay. Do you have a reproducable case where the moss disappears?
-
Sounds like a bug. Moss is an unfinished block, so maybe thats the reason
