Maelstrom

Hello there! Pleased to meet you... I think? So I was in my fantasy mod world figuring out my forever home so I can move out of the cave I dug in the hillock. Can't think of anything to go off the main entrance and decide to chop some trees coz I'll be needing wood soon anyways. The sun is setting. It's a nice partly cloudy day, nice calm rift activity as I'm joyfully chopping trees with my stone hatchet when out of nowhere a shiver chomps on my backside hide (not unlike certain unnamed blackguards) all unanounced (also not unlike certain unnamed blackguards we may [or may not] know). I turn to see what caused my health to dramatically drop to see a most irritating yapping shiver flapping it's jaws at me. We'll I'm playing hunter since 1.20 and beat feet right on outa there, through my micro artificial forest to get some distance and switch to one of the spears I carry with me (blackguard instincts still run strong in me). As I turn the corner of the trader caravan I have settled next to and I can't find the interloper. So I run to the end of the trader's caravan where my artificial micro-forest is and still can't find it. I run through the micro-forest and in the mini cavelet next to my tiny seraph-cave. Nothing. This thing just upped and poofed out of existence just as rudely as it poofed into existence. Of all the nerve! I just wanted to pet it. Gently. With my spear. Repeatedly. And remotely. From about 5 blocks away. Ungrateful twit! Ok. Maybe I didn't want to pet the thing so gently. Now I'm wondering if Jonas wasn't some kind of quantum physics engineering mad scientist.

Get out. See the world. Spelunk for ruins and translocators. Stumble across resources, wanted or not. Trip over things that go bump in the night. Come sail away! or run. whatever *ahem* floats your boat. Prospect for rare minerals like cinnabar (which unlocks reindeer herder clothing), meet the *ahem* locals, err.. traders and engage in capitalism. Stumble across more resources you may or may not want. Take photos of your travels and share with others. Tell silly tales of your (mis)adventures in the Humorous Stories thread. shameless plug.

Well... FAFO is a thing.

I don't think so. Considering the homepage originally tied the game to Lovecraftian themes. Lovecraft rarely delved into travelling to alternate dimensions. When he did it was a dream world type dimension.

Dimensions in VS are used to handle certain game mechanics, like boats and lighting effects. The closest thing to TOBG dimensions is and I'm not sure if that could be used in the more classical sense of dimensions.

If at first you can't fricasee, fry fry again. Or in this case solve and re-solve.

Stop pushing them off of tall mountains, buildings, etc.

I'd think Malefactor would be more likely to get a damage bonus from throwing stones.

Meat stew must have meat in the first two slots of the cookpot. The other two can be any combo of veggie and/or fruit.

The only thing that affects breeding is female status, proximity to male of the same animal type (swine, fowl, etc). Seasons and different generations do not matter. It seems that the different goat breeds does matter though.

Not with my "vanilla" world that is mostly QOL mods. For my "fantasy" world, I probably would.

Why not just pick a warm spawn climate?

What fuel are you using to cook the meal?

Per the 1.21.4 patch

Welcome to VS and the forums! To my understanding, fire clay generating under black coal is possible but not guaranteed. Given the plentiful deposits of red clay, gather up a stack of flint, bake it, grind it then mix it in with red clay. You'll get 8 stacks of fire clay. Best if you use the Better Firepits mod to make baking all that flint easier. Also automate the quern with a windmill.

Thanks to @Professor Dragon there is this on the wiki. It's probably the best answer that can be had. Scroll down until you see a bunch of minimaps. World Configuration - Vintage Story Wiki

You're good. @Redforge must be a necromancer extraordinaire necro'ing a 3 year old thread with this first post.

Necro'ing a 3.5 year old thread to provide answers? First, I doubt this is an issue for the poster anymore. And second, a LOT has changed since this was posted. Like acacia's use in leathermaking.

I can confirm unequivocally that bears do NOT go after tamed elk. Somewhere I posted a pic of a bear outside Chapter 2 story location 2 (I thought it was humorous stories, but after checking, it isn't there.) That bear was about 10 blocks from me after I had tethered my elk to a fence. I returned to my elk much later and it was unharmed. Still don't know if I had stumbled across Smokey or Yogi.

Ditto. Frankly, they're immature behavior has caused me to reduce my posting here. Although, they have created an opportunity for me to continue developing my ability to calm down and compassionately (if bluntly) confront them instead of reigning down my GenX snarky sarcasm attacks of anger, so I guess they're good for something. Hopefully the recent bannings are evidence of the mods taking a more aggressive stance by removing the problem children rather than closing the playground. I change that I wholeheartedly endorse and appreciate!

I concur with the others. You seem to want to be banned. Your opinion is coming across as arrogant, entitled and quite immature. "I want this. I demand that!" much like my children when their ages were single digits. Two people have been banned in the past few months for this kind of attitude. You don't want to play the game now? Fine, stop playing. Check back in a year or two from now; there'll be 2 to 4 updates in that time. Nobody here is twisting your arm forcing you to keep playing. This kind of whiny immature posting is disgusting. I am sure that you don't look in the mirror much but I'll hold it up for you anyway. You are coming across as just another new fart player expressing their "opinion" that Anego should be as fast as a AAA developer and produce a fully finished and polished game in months. When confronted with their arrogance instead of introspecting the immaturity ramps up another level. I will state this again, TWO people have been banned in the past THREE MONTHS for this kind of attitude polluting these threads. Be bold! Look in the mirror and see if there's a streak of selfishness in what you see. If you need help look at the reactions I've gotten for the post you quoted. There's others here that appreciate my comments trying to softly point out what is going on around here and help you understand. This post is much more direct because you completely missed the point of my previous post. It is obvious to the the community at large that this selfishness of yours is large and in charge coming through loud and clear to the rest of us. Please stop with the "my viewpoint is the only viewpoint" schtick. If you haven't stopped reading by now, I applaud your courage. I was blunt and that can be hard to listen to. I think I can say this on behalf of the veterans here (who will roast me if they don't, and that's ok) that we do want you to post and contribute in the community; we also want you to be mature about it. It is perfectly ok to state and own your opinion, just do not expect others to agree with it. Be mature enough to let others have their opinions too but remain friendly even if you don't agree with or, heck, even like their opinion.

Let's see here... Join date 11 months ago. So you've seen just two updates which was planned to be a single update but because of the unexpected increase of sales had to pivot to add an unplanned focus on performance. So the two updates you've seen are typical of a single update. About half of the implemented items on the roadmap have been completed in the game since 1.14 when I joined. In the 4 years I've played I will unequivocally say that the devs are achieving their vision. Each update typically contains a major new mechanic and a large assortment of minor additions, the exceptions to that are when Tyron and Co. take an update to dejank (1.17) or polish (1.22) the game. Meandering through development? You don't have the longevity of seeing the game develop to say the dev team are meandering. You don't understand the monstrous updates in the past 18 months 1.18 introduced the RA 1.19 introduced a MAJOR rework of world generation 1.20 introduced Chapter 2 AND major upgrades to performance 1.21 completing the content of 1.20 because of pivoting to focus on performance Download 1.16, play through iron age, upgrade to the next version and repeat. Then you might begin to see how the devs are doing a phenomenal job!

Hematite. Magnetite is unlikely to spawn like that because of the restrictive list of host rock magnetite can spawn in.

Multiple veins of iron are possible. They can even overlap. Back in 1.16 cleaned out an iron deposit, did some prospecting around the edges to make sure I had gotten the strays and got a medium result on node search. MEDIUM?! Seriously?!! Dug up just 5 blocks and hit a second deposit of iron. @junawood streamed a similar occurrence a few years ago.
