This is one of the best seeds I've ever had, and I've played a lot of games - I love starting over. Here's the seed: 2025-12-25 (I always use the ISO date of the day when I start the world) It's on chalk with slate and perodotite underneath. There's 4 translocators very near spawn, at least 4 more translocators that I've found less than a trader's journey from spawn. Also uncommon rainfall, which I really like to have where I settle down. There's a lot of other nice things too, but I don't want to spoil it for you. I can assure you there are some nice surprises for you.

Distro / Kernel release : NixOS 23.11 Mono / .NET package version : dotnet-runtime 7.0.15 Graphics driver version : Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (i915) Works for client, mp server or both : only client has been tested Installation method used : NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-shell -p vintagestory Hacks (if needed) : none, the above command was the only thing needed and worked right out of the box This will give you the version currently in nixpkgs, which is 1.19.1 at the time of this post. Installing the most recent version is only slightly more work. Copy the vintagestory nix file from nixpkgs to a local file called vintagestory.nix, with a small wrapper around it: let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}; in pkgs.callPackage ( { lib , stdenv , fetchurl , makeWrapper , makeDesktopItem , copyDesktopItems , xorg , gtk2 , sqlite , openal , cairo , libGLU , SDL2 , freealut , libglvnd , pipewire , libpulseaudio , dotnet-runtime_7 }: stdenv.mkDerivation rec { pname = "vintagestory"; version = "1.19.2"; src = fetchurl { url = "https://cdn.vintagestory.at/gamefiles/stable/vs_client_linux-x64_${version}.tar.gz"; hash = "sha256-iCvgmZdJLahkmUa+oWiGvuEkL6TQUlUGM6i1jGx6dmI="; }; nativeBuildInputs = [ makeWrapper copyDesktopItems ]; buildInputs = [ dotnet-runtime_7 ]; runtimeLibs = lib.makeLibraryPath ([ gtk2 sqlite openal cairo libGLU SDL2 freealut libglvnd pipewire libpulseaudio ] ++ (with xorg; [ libX11 libXi ])); desktopItems = makeDesktopItem { name = "vintagestory"; desktopName = "Vintage Story"; exec = "vintagestory"; icon = "vintagestory"; comment = "Innovate and explore in a sandbox world"; categories = [ "Game" ]; }; installPhase = '' runHook preInstall mkdir -p $out/share/vintagestory $out/bin $out/share/pixmaps $out/share/fonts/truetype cp -r * $out/share/vintagestory cp $out/share/vintagestory/assets/gameicon.xpm $out/share/pixmaps/vintagestory.xpm cp $out/share/vintagestory/assets/game/fonts/*.ttf $out/share/fonts/truetype runHook postInstall ''; preFixup = '' makeWrapper ${dotnet-runtime_7}/bin/dotnet $out/bin/vintagestory \ --prefix LD_LIBRARY_PATH : "${runtimeLibs}" \ --add-flags $out/share/vintagestory/Vintagestory.dll makeWrapper ${dotnet-runtime_7}/bin/dotnet $out/bin/vintagestory-server \ --prefix LD_LIBRARY_PATH : "${runtimeLibs}" \ --add-flags $out/share/vintagestory/VintagestoryServer.dll '' + '' find "$out/share/vintagestory/assets/" -not -path "*/fonts/*" -regex ".*/.*[A-Z].*" | while read -r file; do local filename="$(basename -- "$file")" ln -sf "$filename" "''${file%/*}"/"''${filename,,}" done ''; meta = with lib; { description = "An in-development indie sandbox game about innovation and exploration"; homepage = "https://www.vintagestory.at/"; license = licenses.unfree; maintainers = with maintainers; [ artturin gigglesquid ]; }; } ) {} For me, the following worked. First, update the version number, then run NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-build vintagestory.nix This produces an error message about the hash not matching. Update the hash to match and re-run the above command. Then start the game with result/bin/vintagestory
