Maelstrom

I believe there a couple of mods that increase cooking options which include smokers and I believe grills.

So I recently set out to finish the 1.20 lore locations. Don't worry no spoilers. Starting out at moonset... Some interesting terrain along the way Somewhere around 8,000 blocks from home... Are we there yet?! Sunset a few days later. This one about 20,000 blocks from home on the way to the second site in this chapter. Courtesy Fancy sky and spyglass mods. Finally at the second site and exceedingly, horrifically saddle sour! Found a good parking spot as close to town as possible, turned around aaaaaand... HI THERE! I wasn't sure if it was Yogi the Bear coz the town behind me or Smokey the Bear coz the forest behind him!

Indeed! People Eating Tasty Animals will show up with BBQ grills, smokers and all kinds of sauces and seasonings.

So very satisfying finding iron. Whether it's your first or your 101st. Gratz!

I think so, but can't say for sure as I've never encountered this problem. 1.20 is the first time I house animals under a roof.

The wiki is quite often out of date. Drifter spawn before 1.16 was anywhere and everywhere when light level was low enough.

Animals despawn when they are in an unlit space that does not have access to the sky. This is to prevent animals collecting in caves. To prevent this put a lit torch, or better yet, lantern in the building in which said animals are located.

If you play with the default map, you aren't likely to spot them. On the color map, they will pop out with an almost florescent green color. It is a small smudge of shockingly bright green.

Not even worth mentioning. So I didn't. Linen sacks only require 20 flax fibers per bag. I can usually get 20 fibers from wild flax I find and definitely from the first harvest of 8+ flax that comes about in mid July. Because that flax is so important for early game items (looking at you gambeson armor) I make sure I drop a farm in the first half of May to get at least some flax for bags (if necessary) or the main goal of gambeson armor. I'm always collecting flax whenever I find it. By the time I get to April 1, year 1 (when I plant my flax coz I like the default temperate climate) I typically have at least 1 stack of flax to plant, if not 2 stacks. As for the leather backpacks once upgraded to sturdy packs? I believe there's a trader that will buy leather backpacks.

Before weak tannin you need to make scraped hides which requires limestone, chalk or borax. Missing those and you can't even get to the weak tannin barrel for leather. Then there's this little thing about boards to make barrels. So that's firmly in the copper age with an anvil which is going to be painfully hard to get without a pick axe to mine copper out of rock. If'n I'm fortunate enough to have one of those three resources early in my world I go from reeds straight to leather backpacks. Otherwise I will invest in a couple of linen sacks as the improved inventory space is well worth it.

No wonder I don't encounter this bug. It is another reason to just not sleep!

I don't wanna know. I just don't want to know!

I don't get thumbnails, thus my original comment. 40MB is sufficient. I've got lots of pics posted all over the place. Most of the time those pics are less than 100kb, but rarely more than 250kb. What I mean is save your pic as a .jpg BEFORE uploading to the website or at the least check the size of the pic on your computer before uploading.

Also, run around the countryside. While they're easy to spot, the aren't as prolific as the local forestry. They generate more like wild crops.

Do rift wards work vertically?

Unrelated note - I noticed that earlier pics removed but have .png suffix. I suspect that's because you reached the site limit for uploads. You may want to convert pics to .jpg or .jpeg format. Those formats (and others I'm not familiar with) will compress the size so you can upload more pics.

I'm going with the first. Especially considering that there's 75% yield to the crops. I'll bet that as winter progresses and there's more time the outside temp falls below -17 the yield will drop more. While greenhouses will increase the ambient temp and extend the growing season, it doesn't mean that year-round farming in colder climates is possible.

Did you use anything to help lay blocks? Or is each one placed by hand?

For over 2 years the smell of dust was very strong from the visual of the dust clouds from landslides and sandstorms. I don't know how Tyron so successfully implmented Smell-O-Vision!

Likely a bear nom'd on the moose and left, if your pit trap is only 2 blocks deep.

Yeeeeeaaahhhh... The flute was in the saddlebag. D'OH!

Elks like to go Spelunking? So I took my trusty mount Banzai to find the least difficult way to the Lazaret. Along the way I find more traders, swim some lakes (finding my second miniscule deposit of blue clay in this world) and generally having a pretty good go of it. While trying to make my way to a trader through some very abrupt terrain terrain we happen to slip down a death hole and land about 10 blocks down. "Well, bugger me!" I thinks to myself, "THIS is a fine mess you dun got us into there Banzai!" He looks at me askance and so I dismount to better assess the situmatation and figure out how to get back up to the surface. Did I mention it's the middle of the night in Sept? No? Well. It is. You think you know where this is going don't you? You're probably thinking, "Ooooohhhh... This ain't gonna end well." Well, you're partly right. Suddenly I hear Banzai bugle and see the light of his lantern YOLOing it's way down the death hole, about 20 blocks down is a nice little spot where the death hole splits into three different paths deeper into the bowels of the earth and I watch as that nice glowing lantern pick one and keep on going at impressive speed. In the fourth second after dismounting I get plugged by a bowtorn. Welp, that explains Banzai's sudden desire to... well... BANZAAAAAAAIIIII down this here cave. So I gives chase to the misguided mount cave diving his way to the center of the earth and finally find him standing on a nice patch of basalt and surrounded by a wonderful collection of death drifters of all shapes, sizes and lethality. I quickly jump into the saddle to save our lives but there is no easy way up, even with Banzai's better climbing abilities. I find the safest place possible to start digging my way up and the friendly neighborhood death bowtorns decide they'll help with the digging. Only their aim ain't so good and they keep hitting me and poor Banzai. We scream our outrage at their horrible help when I notice that poor Banzai is mortally wounded. I hop off to administer some first aid with the linen horsetail poultices I brought with me in a rushed attempt to patch him up but before I can get more than one poultice on him the death drifters caught up to their bowtorn brethren and done did poor Banzai in. I'm proud of my steel chain armor. As a hunter it gives great protection while not impeding my archery skill that much, but alas; it was not up to the task and I was given the royal beat down just as unceremoniously as Banzai. Ok. You were mostly right. I'm not playing spectator mode in this world. Welp. Off to the traders to milk their rusty gears from them so I can get a new mount. I'll have to be a bit more careful about naming my next loyal steed. I think Banzai took his name a weeeee bit too seriously.

I doubt it they'll be more often than 2 a year. The coding team is small. Like I think 2 full time coders - one animator and the other (Tyron the project lead) codes with a very small handful of part-timers to help.

Excellent distinction! Thank you for clarifying my comment.
