you would be suprised at how close to your base clay can be. clay normally generates near water bodies (not always, I had clay spawn halfway up a mountain capped with snow near my base on one map). If the clay is covered with grass, it will make it harder to spot it from the top though. So try to look again, but pay more attention to the ground, and what the tool tip says on top.

Heck, you could use say the 1.17 version, and turn that into a demo version. If they like it, they'll buy it. If not, less work with the refund process (with the current problems from transaction managers)

You dont need to maintain the demo version to the latest version of VS, all you plan to do is show some (not all) of its capabilities. Meaning no lore content, some of the monsters, and animals. Basic crafting up to the copper or bronze age. No ability to install any mods, and nothing else. With a time limit of 1-2 hours.

If you can stand there with a falx, and tank a RA boss, then the sawblade locust will be no issue (just make sure to scurry away before it can swing that sawblade around though, its got a meaner swing). Ran into more sawblade locusts than I care to count that I just have to deal with sooner rather than later.

Vintage Story REALLY needs a demo version for people that want to try it. Will greatly reduce the amount of refund tickets the devs get, and help them in the process.

Yeah, no. I'm still lost regarding that acronym. Got every other result except the result I was supposed to look for.

I never said it is not worth pursuing just cause other things need work first. They are still working on the second half of chapter 2 for one, and introduced a new mechanic for healing that has a lot of people fuming regarding the archive boss fight. And there is still a lot of work to do to polish the content, and fix bugs that they find (as happened with 1.20.x). I'm happy with what I got so far, and whatever content that I need, that the base game doesn't (yet) provide, the mods fill that gap nicely.

Would be a good mechanic to implement, but for now, we will need to settle for Primitive Survival for smoking food. There are other parts of Vintage Story that needs to be fixed tbh, and that includes the rooms themselves. What we would consider as a room, the game sometimes doesnt recognise as such.

My mouse is a G700s. Goes through batteries like a landrover chows petrol tbh. But I love it.

A lot of people swear by AMD. But for me, my perfect setup has always been Intel (anything but celeron), GForce graphics card, and a Logitech mouse. Brand loyalty these days looks dead in the water now.

And any server administrator or owner that doesnt comply, will have his own service, and those of the members be flagged as well. And as a result this will affect his income as well.

This is not the end goal. The end goal is to have everyone registered on a database, and for whatever reason in the future, with the system you described, be denied service for wrong think, and not allowed to have any interaction with any online community. You are probably right regarding that. The government will be using a centralised database, that they own and control. And expect everyone else to refer to that database.

Ok, this is seriously getting out of hand now. I used to be a huge NVidia supporter. Not anymore.

For some odd reason, flax can be the hardest crop for me to find sometimes. That and cattails. My current map has the closest cattails a good 300 blocks away from my spawning area. And on single player worlds I tend to make my base close to, or at world spawn itself.

Personally though when I have children that I need to take care of for the day, and they are not old enough for VS, i just put the other block game on for them, or if I happen to play vintage story, I let them watch, seeing they like to see what I am doing. Once they hit age 12-15 though, I try to introduce them to VS, and see if they like it. Generally though its been a hit and a miss... But they are at that point aware of the game, and may return to it at a later stage.

Bout the same for me regarding some of the order. Expand the personal storage. Find a good point to plonk down as a base, and collect food, bones, and hides. Every map so far, I still make the same mistake (leaving the farm for too late), yet still manage to collect enough crops to last me past winter. With enough food in trunks, and cooked into meals, it becomes less of an urgent matter, and more secondary. That is when I pay more attention to exploring.

You hit the nail squarely on the head with that one.

In your case, I honestly don't know. Just to clarify my point though, I am not advocating for violence, nor condoning it. Use their (collective shout) playbook against them for one. Also, look at their past activity, and what they were defending in the past (Defending the cuties movie for one). I just find it odd that they would do this in the aftermath of what "Stop Killing Games" were trying to do in getting the AAA gaming companies to stop killing their game servers though. Beginning to think they are behind collective shout.

Same thing still applies there. If the activists fail to change what they perceive as hateful or fail to stop the developers from working on said game they will run to the hosting provider of the developer. Going so far as to try to have the developer web page removed from the internet. And theybwill lay a complaint with the payment process as a last resort. Just like with steam and itch.io If they get their way they will push for exactly that, and I guarantee they will not stop there till the target is financially ruined and unable to make a living in future even. There is a lot we can do, if we start right now. Or we risk loosing everything. By writing them off as no big deal, we fall into a trap. Treat them as a threat, and deal with them.

Some of the discussion was also done on

If I were you, I would break the charcoal pit open right now, and recover whatever of your firewood is still left. I had the same situation myself a few times, and it only happens when the pit is not 100% full about 99% or so. The other 1% is the game glitching. When you are done recovering your firewood, restack everything from scratch, verifying you stacked 100% full. Finishing up with the firepit, and covering that up. That should resolve the problem. If you were busy with baking pottery or other clay items, you forgot to leave a 1 block gap between the pit, and the block covering for when it rains.

The way I understand the situation, it can go the following ways. if you host your own server, on your own hardware, you will be responsible for age verification. Fail, and if it was connected to the internet, enforcement will come from the network providers. If you rent a virtual, cloud, or barebone server from someone else, or another company, they will be responsible for the age verification. Regardless of what you allow on your rented server. And if the person or company fails to enforce the age verification, it will fall again on the network providers to do the enforcement. Either way, this could also end up with you being reported to the financial side (banks, or transaction managers, etc...), who could decide to penalise you financially (which will be the end game imo if they manage to push far enough with the Online ID verification, which is nothing to do with children, and everything to do with rolling out the Social Credit System on a global scale.).

Its a fairly old series from 2000 to 2002. Cancelled after season 2.

It'll be more like Dark Angel imo. The tech is allready moving in that direction. Activists couldnt get their way to pressure gaming companies, so they ran to the payment processors. Who did the dirty work. Government in its infinite wisdom (never let a good crisis go to waste, and if none is available, manufacture a crisis), is getting involved now. And this is the excuse they need to start to censor not just games, but movies, books, and whatever else they deem a problem for them. 1984, and Brave new World was meant as a caution, not to be taken literally as a "handbook for dummies" for Dictators. In a sense we are allready seeing Idiocracy been enacted in real time. Some places more than others.

Had a similar problem before I realised the game was lagging due to insufficient ram. Now I pay a lot more attention to the ram remaining when installing any new mods.
