I wonder, why there is no claim timeout. Even there is no such mods for claims subscription for rusty gears (I didn't tried CAN mods because they seems to be complex system). It is not issue for short-lived servers with frequent wipe, but in case of long-lasting ones, these abandoned claims are annoying, especially if building is not finished.

I know about command db vacuum, but I had no chance to run it, because server crashed. Unfinished prune is one thing, but such error may cause also other problems. How to produce more verbose logs?

World on our server size is above 40 GB, thus we decided to try prune command. We tried it on backup copy and server crashed: 25.11.2025 23:43:18 [Fatal] Caught unhandled exception in thread 'chunkdbthread'. Shutting down server. 25.11.2025 23:43:18 [Error] Exception: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Are there any tools to check integrity/repair vcdbs file?

10 is number of chunks? So, 320 bloks? Radius or diameter?

Same question as Irulana - how to refresh RA on multiplayer server? Does purge command works here?

In TerraFirmaCraft there was taste system - if I remember correctly, each player has different taste preferences and tasty meal was able to "overload" saturation. In case of such system, implementation of spices would be sensible. Also, currently existing diversity of meals would be more reasonable (currently you need few types of food, all other are redundant and for role playing purposes only).

Currently, repaired translocator is trying to spawn another one, far away. Is does work fine in singleplayer, but in case of long-running multiplayer server (especially with spawn radius 5000, like in wilderness survival preset), translocators are struggling to find "empty" spot to spawn another one. Player need to wait lot of time, and if lucky, finally another translocator is spawned somewhere below sea. But there is risk, that no free chunks exist within 8k range (for example, our map has more than 30 GB and we started to run into such problems). Therefore I propose to implement some kind of timeout, maybe 20s, if translocator can't spawn its counterpart due to lack of empty map, server should seek for already existing unrepaired translocator instead. If none exist within range, standard seek should to be continued.

The point is, that it is not possible to create mod, which grant exclusive smiting recipe for Blacksmith, or knapping recipe for Potter. I'm not talking about base game.

Currently, only 3x3 grid recipes can be player class restricted. It is slightly weird, when you can forge Blackguard sword blade, but joining it with stick is beyond comprehension of your class. Situations is worse in case of multiplayer server, when someone want to add/edit some class to get RPG-like settings. Who need Blacksmith, if everything can be done by anyone? Therefore my proposal, to implement trait exclusiveness in barrel, smiting (maybe also clay knapping) recipes. The only problem I see here is handbook, which is not very reticent in case of smiting or knapping recipes. This is another story, honestly, 3D sketch of vortexes required to craft given item would be very useful here, beside of of vague link to general page about smiting or crafting.

Sorry for late answer. I found your question while seeking same topic. Yes, you can patch another mods, similar to patching game itself. But there is no need to make new mod and put it on modDB page, if there are only some values patched. You can change these values manually inside these mods, because client is reading what server is "thinking" - no need to have such changes on the client side (they are ingored). The only need to put server patch/helper mod on ModDB is when there is some content, like new items/textures etc (visible by client).

Melting ores (which are complex metal compounds) directly in crucible is unsettling for me. Therefore I created mod, where first we smelt ores in firepit, then we melt pure metal bits in crucible. Only nuggets of native metals (for example native copper) can be directly melted in crucible. Minerals, like Cassiterite (tin oxide), Bismutinite (bismuth sulfide) etc, require thermal treatment in presence of carbon, to reduce these compounds into bits of pure metal. Bonus - whole ore chunks can be roasted, as alternative (but slower than using hammer) method of acquiring metal bits. Current version: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/33024

Additional question: after migration to another mod, there are old traits generating warning messages in Character window. Is there a way to edit character manually and remove/alter these traits?

We want to migrate our server to the newer version, the only one issue is with WorkingClass mod, which is not working (pun not intended) and no more supported. Not sure what happen with players, which chosen class from the mod, which no longer exist. The safe approach would be to change their class to vanilla one, upgrade server, change their class again to desired one (from new mod). Is it possible to do it by editing some files on the server side, or players need to do it manually by their own? I presume, that /player all allowcharselonce can be used by admin twice?

Honestly, I don't remember what I had on mind while writing about big vague square, I checked it now - there is Ctrl +RMB icon. Maybe there was issue with previous version. Anyway, there is lack of F tooltip for changing image, also no icon of current charoal/chalk icon mode on top of the screen (where other icons appears when given util is being hold) Would be nice to have it fixed, because I'm pretty sure that most of users have no idea about this feature.

By the way, handbook is overwhelming with its huge contents, also misleading with, for example, tools variants (oh no, I need meteoric iron knife to make club). With some "knowledge milestones", it would be reasonable to have handbook showing only subset of items end recipes (+setting to bypass such feature), for example only tier 1 tools (and items possible to produce with tier 1 tools) if clay was not found, tier 2 tools is anvil mold was not created, etc.
