VS starts off pretty unforgiving but it's really simple to get situated. Remember to harvest leaves to get seeds, you can plant trees at your base and away from wolf spawns. Just don't plant so many you create a new forest. Play with your volume up and don't run everywhere you go, especially if the hunger mechanic is 'tedious'. Wolves tell you not to come any closer before they attack, just stop moving and turn around. This is where you run - away from them. Improvised armor is useless. If you can find some resin make the wooden lamellar to start. Just takes firewood to repair once it's made and it'll let you survive a wolf or two. Carry multiple spears, don't throw your last one.. Wolves aren't as good at climbing as you also, can lose them going over hills and jumping across pits.

Dig down to rock, sample, dig down 3, sample, dig down 3 more, sample. (bring rope ladders). Cover the top and move 50 blocks to the next spot.

You can chisel slabs as well, not sure if that's a recent feature or not though.

hmm sad. if blue clay can be used to make it, it should be blue. Maybe they'll fix that

Will red/blue fireclay have different textures? IE: Can I haz blue oven?

As I sit here with it not even 1700 and it's pitch black outside with snow on the ground and the wife needs cold medicine, I realize we need doordash in VS.

I just wish there was a fishing pole.

Copper can exist in 'surface nodes' that are indicated by nuggets on the surface or in underground veins like other ores which are 'not' indicated by nuggets on the surface but can be found by prospecting. I can't give more advise than check the book for mother rock and just keep prospecting until it starts to show up. My current world gave me cassiterite before copper but I finally found that large rich vein so all is good in the world. Until it runs out cause things take too damn many ingots 40 ingots for a set of chain is ouch man.

Don't we want salt for pickled veggies? TBF I got VS because I saw it on youtube. Couldn't tell you who, don't care about youtuber's names etc. I watch videos that look interesting and almost never sub to any thing. Was watching minecraft vids and VS popped up, looked like a better version so I bought it. Great decision. Never give it away though.. If these people are so famous they can afford to buy it.

Midnight campfire thing?

I ended up just knifing them all and replanting. Lost around 70%, definitely did not get 70% back They're all growing already so I'm guessing it was related to planting 'dry'. Hasn't reached freezing yet, pretty warm climate. Hoping to get another two plots lined out and the whole 80 block farm put inside a greenhouse but that 'large' cassiterite vein needs found first. It's been located! But damned cave ins make mining slow.

This is where we need fire. Molotov that pit and save cook time.

V 1.19.8 * Water was taken from a pond, used the water from 'plot 1' for 'plot 2' so same in both spots. Only changes to default are 12 days, cave-ins, and enabled 'underground farming' because the sun doesn't stop working when the land is below sea-level by a few feet.. (No, the farm is not underground even by game mechanics) The two plots are right against eachother, I think 2 plants in the OG farm started growing but they were planted 'after' all the ones that are growing. Only thing I can think of is that I planted the seeds before the water had irrigated the blocks. Is there any way to retrieve the seeds at growth stage 1/x?

Have plots not growing and dunno why. First I planted along a river and they grew fine. First harvest last night. Made my first farm plot (20 around a water block) and every planted block is watered, 50% all nutrients, growth stage 1. Won't go up. Been 2 months now almost. Made a second plot right next to it to expand, thinking it's just season etc. Temp is good for all plants. Second plot is all growing just fine. Only the first set of 20 are broken and I can't see any differences with them. Replanting is hard cause I don't have a lot of seeds.

Rope ladders, huh? Didn't know that was a thing. You may have just made my decision to enable cave-ins less painful.
