Most of what we call vegetables are technically fruits because they come from the flower of the plant. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and squash are all technically fruits because of this. Celery - stalk Lettuce - leaf Carrot, beet, radish, turnip - root Potato - tuber Corn, rye, and other grains are technically fruits because each grain is an individual fruit with a seed inside. The main difference is: If we're eating something that came from the flower and has a seed inside, then it's a fruit. If we're eating a part of the plant that is not a part of the flowering or seeding process, then it is a vegetable. -------- Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it into a fruit salad!

Really though, just adding a chimney block would go a long ways and help. It could even go sideways for short distances. Any chimney structure that has a fire beneath it will become filled with smoke and will emit smoke particles from the top of the structure. Chimney structures count as sealing blocks.

Did it actually compile? try adding a dummy modicon.png file (just make a blank image in paint that's 480x480 pixels in size) to your project to clear that error. Go see if it actually made a .dll file. To get there, you can just right click the solution and go to the bottom of the pop-up menu that appears. Then go to \bin => \Debug => \Mods => \mod and see if the .dll file is there.

The 8 block limitation on chimneys is a bit disappointing. I definitely think that if you have a hole in your house that is 8 blocks long, however, it should count as a ventilation shaft and not contribute to counting whether you're indoors or not.

I mean if you want to get technical, copper vaporizes at 2595C and the temperature of a lightning bolt is about 10x that. But lightning rods don't melt during a strike. Let's examine why. First the temperature of the lightning strike comes from the internal plasma of the bolt itself, reaching temperatures of over 25000 degrees Celsius. However the math works out that because the duration of the lightning strike is so short, that the temperature of the metal doesn't rise very much at all. Typical strike duration: t = 500 μs Typical rod resistance: R = 0.001 Ω (measured as the resistance of copper at its thinnest point) Typical strike current: I = 50,000 A We are able to use a formula to calculate the number of Joules the rod must be able to dissipate as heat: Q = I²Rt In our case: Q=50,000²×0.001×500×10-6=12,500J Copper has a specific heat capacity of 0.385 J/g·K. This means we can begin to calculate the temperature rise of a 5kg rod as. ΔT=mc/Q=12,500/(5×385)≈6.5 degrees C 6.5 degrees C is not enough to melt the copper. Let's re-examine using the data from the typical Lead/Tin solder. UH OH... we have problems. The melting point of solder is around 180 C and has a lower heat capacity of around 0.21 J/g·K. Plugging this information back into the formula gives a temperature increase of around 160 C which would be enough to melt 10g of solder in the rod which would already be at a temperature of around 25 C on a typical day. However the surrounding copper can serve as a heat sink and a sufficient mass of solder would increase it's thermal capacity, but I think it's safe to say that soldering pieces of a copper lightning rod together is not a feasible way of joining. Much better to use copper/copper joints with clamps to avoid thermal issues. In short, you're right. Solder wouldn't be useful unless it were used in excess and even then it wouldn't be as reliable.

Example (these were soft just before taking this screenshot):

Pretty much the title. People dump out hot ingots all the time begin forging them or cooling them. Why not here? We have magical tongs that can hold things that are over 2000 degrees F. Seems like a missed opportunity imo.

For me, bandages are also the last-minute emergency heal where I might die trying to soak them, but I WILL die if I don't, so I take the risk. 9/10 it works out.

I haven't done the RA boss on the pre, so I cannot attest to this but on 20.12, it's pretty quick and easy to drop the jug and 2-3 bandages in the crafting grid and soak them RQ. If you have an empty hotbar slot they will go there, you can close the menu and the jug will go back into your bags and you can use the bandages you soaked. I would never pre-soak them before a fight.

Yes the healing mechanic certainly does shake things up a bit. Have you tried soaked bandages to see if you can get more healing before you are moved vertically... dunno. I feel like the bosses in this game are supposed to be hard and take a long time to complete. For example, the chapter 2 boss very nearly killed me twice and it did kill my blackguard friend in one hit. Probably for future bosses, they will fine-tune things, but I guarantee you that the heal over time getting cancelled by vertical movement was implemented with the RA boss in mind. I would even wager on it being the reason they added the cancel to the heal over time because before that change, it was kind of an easy fight.

Very sneaky chapter 2 update there... now I'm all curious what you did.

I've been dabbling in modding... maybe I'll make a mod out of this idea.

I'm just now remembering that my spawn point is at a trader wagon just outside of the big nasty location in Chapter 2. We have a long ride home and there's a temporal storm coming some time in the near future. I can't wait to get part of the way home only to have to turn around and camp in the village.

Idk, it just didn't really seem like it added any value to the post at all. That's all.

haha yesss run away! I do the same thing now and I wear steel armor. It's just engrained that bear = bad juju. Also in case you haven't figured it out by now, exploring those deep dark places is the sort of thing you don't want to do early game... there are.... things ...down there. Vile, abhorrent things that really do go bump in the night.

Which... they used... and calling it out kind of detracts from the overall post. I'm just confused on what issue you have. The other block game has had this feature since 900BC. I think it should be integral to any block game. Also have you tried the Verticality mod? It allows you to crawl through small spaces or climb cliff faces up to 2 blocks tall (3 if you jump). It doesn't solve your problem at ALL, but it's a very fun mod to use (and potentially game breaking in a certain area). Having it be optional would better fit with the culture of Vintage Story. Perhaps a small telescope item that you can make early copper age? Make copper sheet. Use copper sheet with soldering iron in crafting grid to make copper tube craft copper tube with two pieces of glass and a chisel to make telescope Craft telescope with additional tubes to increase zoom ratio Idk, just spitballing here, but a lot of these QoL mods are an instant "no" from some players who might not like it being added as a default option in the base game.

I was torn between giving you a "haha" or a "wolf bait". I chose "haha" because I didn't want to send the wrong idea. Enjoy the game!

IF you see a threat, you mean? those bears like to be sneaky.

These are certainly some good tips for new players who are just wanting to get into the game and enjoy it for what it is, especially all the new mechanics to learn and figure out. There's only so much you can learn by reading the handbook, for example setting up a working windmill and all the parts that go with it, or learning how to smith weapons using a hammer and an anvil. I can see how especially green players could take issue with the lack of certain things in the game and the presence of others while ALSO having to deal with wolves and bears. Even now with steel armor in my game I still run when I see a bear, so I feel the pain, but I no longer feel like I need to tone anything down, so definitely learn to enjoy the game, but don't stagnate... some of the enjoyment comes from the challenges you'll face later.

I meant more along the lines of "Hey kiddo, not everything you see in a video game is real. If you want to try this, let me know first so I can make sure you don't do something stupid and get hurt", but what you suggested works, too.

I was just able to capture this from my server... this just happens when it goes to save.

It's more fun to watch you pontificate and ... idk where I was going with this. I didn't know that either.

If you watch primitive technology on YouTube, the guy shows that you do NOT need to fire your clay every time, just when making things that NEED the structural rigidity and impermeability to water of fired clay like bricks and roofing tiles that would fall apart in the first rain. Much of the stuff he makes is dried clay which works fine for his purposes. I don't see a reason that this couldn't work in VS as well, especially the clay pots to carry water.

see my smol edit

it was never about the bread. #mysterious It's about locking Iron behind decent copper/bronze progression. Otherwise you could just cast a bronze pickaxe and dig up iron without having spent much time in the copper age. Without requiring at least ONE anvil, the player can take a very obvious shortcut here and start stockpiling iron blooms before even casting a bronze anvil. Once the anvil is made, it's nothing to setup a helve hammer and start working away at those blooms super early in the game. I think the chisel requirement was to stop that shortcut. making a smol edit to say, that perhaps the oven shouldn't require fireclay to make or there should instead be a primitive oven that falls apart with use like the cementation furnace does when making steel. A more permanent oven can be made out of fireclay after if the desire to make bread is that fierce. I think this would improve the game the most: having two ovens like this. idk I'm just thinking out loud at this point blink blorp listen to my thought stream
