Maelstrom

Be warned, it's a LOT of copper. But it sure does grind a LOT of stuff quickly! The windmills in this pic are maybe 20-30 blocks above sea level. Go 60 blocks above sea level to get maximum wind power.

BratWorst has an excellent video on Vintage Story power. Tried getting a link, but goggle and network at work won't let me find it. It's a GREAT explanation of VS mechanical power.

@Thorfinn Tyron is helping everyone learn the Freedom Units system of converting between different measurements, coz deep down he knows that Freedom Units are the way to go.

There is this stuff called iron that does not require the laborious carbonization process. Just sayin'.

Another reason I wish I could relocate to the RA after deactivating Murphy.

Got lanterns covering the area, plus where it spawned is not covered by roofing yet.

My first run through the RA was in 1.19, managed some RNG luck and squirmed my way over the pile of rubble. Descending the library in the dark was way cool and then the reveal of it after lighting the gasifier made the experience even better! I think that was a much better first experience of the library than the one intended.

I have consistently seen since 1.15 (when pit kilns were introducted) that lighting multiple pit kilns may leave one that seems to extinguish when all the others complete despite being lit at the same time.

@Dealman You do realize this is early access, right? Best estimate has this game at 25% complete at this point. While I agree combat can be better, there's bigger issues; like the 1.20 update having more issues than previous updates. I'll take the current combat with a more polished update than better combat and the game issues 1.20 is currently suffering. Given Tyron (until recently the sole full time developer) has recently added some help, it seems like 1.20 is showing some growing pains in bug/issue squashing.

Best use of Jonas parts? Resonator and play the tunes of your choice near a rift.

Some of us aren't so artistic and not good with the putting pretty things together. Chiselling at that level? I could practice for 100 years and still not be that good.

It's fun playing a resonator near a rift though. Hard to do if they're invisible.

updated to 1.20.10 and had to fight off a shiver that spawned during the day. Inside my home. Less than 10 blocks away from me. And no, there was no temporal storm in sight. /edit but I have temporal instability ON. Seems like random drifter spawnage during daylight hours regardless of rift activity has become an issue.

VS be like...

Tyron shoots for 2 updates a year. Next one will probably be coming up around August since 1.20 started dropping back in Feb.

Some more things I wish I'd known... To identify grass from crops - grass grows in crosses, crops grow in a grid. To keep the screen still when knapping, forging, etc. - press alt or open an inventory screen, like pressing the "C" key. The fastest way to make compost is to let dough rot. Dough converts to rot 1 to 1 ratio unlike most other rot-able foods.

I think the bakers/cooks on multiplayer servers might appreciate this. I built this to grind stuff faster in my single player. No items will fall past the axles so no loss from stuff falling on the floor. I think the pics provide enough info for the build. To connect the axles, place a block for axles to connect to so the angled gears can be connected to the axles. Once the axles are connected to the large gear and querns, the corner chutes can be attached. Each vertical pipe is the same, just rotated 90 degrees.

Looks like you're using granite. Try mixing in some granite drystone and suevite cobble stone. The different textures and suevite's darker shade will help break up the monotony of the granite cobble.

@Rocktavious Welcome to the forums! Your comment would have higher visibility to Tyron and devs if you posted it to the github.

This belongs in the Humorous Stories thread in Discussion forum!

Or excellent joke!

It got me the first time or three as well. I am just hyper anal retentive about making sure I don't waste things (thanks mum and dad) that I figured things out when I couldn't pick up the old basket or linen bag.

Bar-B-Que!!!! NomNomNom!!!

Not exactly. I think visiting a bunch of floating islands was the desired outcome.

Uhhh... VS? Are you trying to tell me something here?
