Teh Pizza Lady

You are ALL missing the obvious issue here. VS prospecting is broken but not for the reasons you think. Why? Density search. No where in the space of anywhere at any time has anyone ever been able to scratch the surface of a rock and know what lies deep inside? Geologists know what lies below the surface because they dig and drill. Node search should be the default and only option for the prospecting pick. You should have to dig down to where you think the ore might be based on your best guess. And then you have to use the prospecting pick with a max radius of 3 to find your ores just like they did back in the good old days. Prove me wrong. .

I believe my statements are not entirely contradictory with what both of you said here, so I'm not sure I understand if you were intending to write that as a rebuttal to my argument or not. I said that when the players broke the game, the devs had to fix it. They found ways to avoid certain game mechanics so the devs had to modify those mechanics to be unavoidable. They found ways to make an unforgiving atmosphere a little safer. Fighting is of course required at some point, especially to complete the game content. I never said it wasn't. What I actually said if you read the words I wrote was that part of the game was learning what you can and cannot do at certain stages of the game, with one of those things being to hole up in your dirt hut and just wait out the night by doing things inside (like panning bony soil, smelting metals, cooking food, etc.) or just sleeping through the night so the daylight can chase away the monsters with the implication that you won't have any hope of fighting them until you get proper weapons and armor. After that, whatever you decide to do is up to you. So, I really feel like we're saying the same things, just with different words. Exactly correct in what I was saying, yes.

two spear tosses with a flint spear will kill a bowtorn if you play on hunter. I think every other class takes 3 tosses. Never tried to fight a shiver at night without armor and usually by then, I have a falx and a shield which makes them pretty trivial aside from the fact that they run away when low health. I think this is a very dishonest statement about the devs. A large part of how the devs make the game is to align with Tyron's vision for the game. If players figure out a way to break the game, then the devs will patch it out, but for the most part, he leaves it up to the player to decide how to tackle the challenges, with the most obvious solution being the easiest path forward. But they aren't doing these things to spite the player, but rather to keep the game in line with how Tyron and Saraty envisioned it. I think something that has really stood out to me in your messages is that you are under the false impression that fighting the mobs is actually worth your time. It's not. All it serves to do is injure you, wear down your weapons and armor, and for what? Paltry loot drops that can be gotten by other, less risky methods? Vintage Story is unforgiving. If you make a mistake it will punish you, but it's also supposed to be a game. Part of the game is figuring out what you can and cannot do at certain stages. One of those things is holing up to work in the safety of your dirt hut or sleeping through the nights because anything else is a waste of time. Later, you will find it beneficial to take the risk of the creepy crawlies at night. As others have pointed out, the game is NOT Minecraft. Treating it as such will end in frustration as we veterans have seen time and time again. Players come to the forums complaining that the game is too hard. We ask, "What did you do?". Usually the answers come back as some variation of something that would happen in Minecraft as a result of the normal gameplay loops there. https://tenor.com/view/we-dont-do-that-here-black-panther-tchalla-bruce-gif-16558003

or enough hours of gameplay to know all the cheese strategies for the game's enemies *cough cough* @Thorfinn *cough*

I think you misread my comment. But whatever. The fact of the matter is that you've presented an ultimatum... which usually doesn't end well. "Change this or else I quit playing." Okay, bye Felicia.

If you get bored for the 5 seconds it takes to sleep through the night, then the bowtorn and shivers weren't ever the problem.

Update: Added Hunger Bar to show how full the expanded stomach is Added configuration options: Toggle Hunger bar on or off Toggle whether bar hides when empty Adjust vertical placement of bar

We already have a Cementation Furnace for steel making. Is this what you were looking for?

Came here to say this. I use Prospect Together even in single player because it draws borders around the chunks so I don't have to guess where the next chunk is. It saves me a LOT of time prospecting!

my face is always pizza face

Noodles existed in Europe as early as the 13th century and were a common staple of the Arab and African nations. It was introduce to Sicily at that time and from there it spread across Italy and the rest of Europe. It wasn't until Marco Polo went to China that they realized that noodle were a more global food than earlier realized. The African noodle was, of course, couscous. You mean you don't form your pasta directly on the floor like a real cave man? Preposterous! Pretentious! Pre..pre...Presumptuous! Dare I say it... Predatory?

A meter of water is not a light flood. A light flood is a few cm of standing water, no less than 30cm give or take. Anything over that would warrant a significant natural disaster that would affect more than just the floor of your hut getting wet. Your farmlands would be completely submerged for starters and your plants would die. This isn't a good idea for the base game. Best for a mod, tho!

just play hunter or malefactor and acne is instantly made a useless feature.

I mean it makes sense... Kimberlite is diamond ore which is volcanic in nature and comes from deep within the earth. Source: I used to work at the largest public diamond mine in the USA. I know my rocks.

This post reminds me of a very bad pizza I had once. 0/10 do not recommend. There is enough stuff in Vintage Story trying to kill you already. I think Diseases would be over the top... especially since the last time we had a disease in Vintage Story it didn't end very well!!

20 years ago I would have said to check your VGA cable, but I'm glad you found a solution!

I have screenshots of... close to 50, maybe more, of the highest tier bowtorn just chilling outside my house. Had to pop into creative mode and admin blade them.

Generally you can copy all files, just backup your server.sh if you're running Linux! I have a script that can help you update your server if you are running linux. Otherwise it's just a simple copy and paste for Windows. Script: #!/bin/bash # Check if a URL was provided if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "Usage: $0 <URL>" exit 1 fi URL="$1" OUTPUT_FILE="vs.tar.gz" ASSETS_DIR="assets" # First backup server.sh file mv server.sh server.sh.old # Download the contents of the URL into vs.tar.gz curl -o "$OUTPUT_FILE" "$URL" # Check if the download was successful if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Error: Failed to download $URL" exit 1 fi # Remove the local assets folder if it exists if [ -d "$ASSETS_DIR" ]; then rm -rf "$ASSETS_DIR" echo "Deleted existing $ASSETS_DIR folder." fi # Unpack vs.tar.gz into the current directory # Overwriting all contents if necessary tar -xzf "$OUTPUT_FILE" --overwrite # Check if the extraction was successful if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Error: Failed to extract $OUTPUT_FILE" exit 1 fi # Restore server.sh file rm server.sh mv server.sh.old server.sh # Notify completion echo "Successfully downloaded and updated Vintage Story." Here's how it looks when you don't run it correctly and when you do: Good luck and happy Vintarianeering!

That sounds like either a temporal storm or someone went cave diving. In either situation, it's best to just say "NOPE" and run away.

Also all this talk about how to combat the bowtorn and people have missed one crucial detail: Just go in the opposite direction or run away from them. You don't have to fight any of the enemies (with rare exception) in order to proceed and complete the game... and at that point you'll probably have several spears if not a falx of your own. And if you truly must fight, one thing bowtorn do not like is being close to the player, so use that to your advantage. Get in close. They'll run away, leaving you to aim your spear. It takes about two hits of a stone spear to take one down and they are easy to make.

Maybe if you throw a rock and you miss your target you weren't really aiming at the target.

Have you tried putting an apple on his head?

It's not a bad game design to force the player to eat or die. What you're suggesting sounds more like a personal thing because you didn't like that other players chose to play the game in a different way than you.

I recommend getting https://mods.vintagestory.at/simplehudclockpatch for starters. It's simple, out of the way, and can be added to any existing game without much fuss. Also https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/25352 is really good if you struggle with finding items that drop from doing things like mining, chopping trees, or farming, since these items don't bounce and rotate like they do in the other block game. Also if you're a red-blooded American like me then this mod is a MUST HAVE: https://mods.vintagestory.at/freedomunits

and cookpots/crocks. Honest if she was that hungry she should have just said something. I would have put the cookpot down..... >_>
