I was unaware that holding a torch helped, I will try this next time. I was under 50% health and was harvesting 20+ skeps when it happened, lots of bees attacking me, lol.

Where does death by bees live in the strangest death list? When I died by bees on the TOPS server everyone was saying they have never seen it happen, lol.

+1 love this idea!

I think they all went into the deserts and died. I find cow sculls there all the time, yet have never seen a living one. Something must have made them go mad!

Can lava turn regular water into boiling water? If so, that is exactly what happened.

Here, here! These are my 2 favorite games of all time as well!

Boiling water... yes, I think you are correct. This makes a lot of sense.

Frustrating death: Several months ago I joined the TOPS server, met new friends and joined the town of Dawnreach. I chose to progress myself without help as it has been a while since I had played the early game. I got a full set of tin bronze tools and was ready to go exploring for iron. I found a cave in town that had a translocator, out of curiosity I jumped right in. Then suddenly I was burning to death in lava. I went in the portal over and over again trying to get my stuff back, or at least try and plug the lava leak in the ceiling.. no luck. Gave up lost everything. A few weeks later I decided to venture out to that location far away and fix the problem so no one else runs into it. I figured since it was below a lake, I could just dig down and the lava would turn to obsidian and problem solved. For some reason when I finally got down to the TL I was burning in water, lost everything again... Both times I almost quit playing on TOPS, but I love the fact they don't shut down the server ever so my builds will live on forever keeps drawing me back despite my losses. Ahhhh, good times.

In the 1.21 notes Tyron says they have fixed most of "animals sometimes escaping their pens if the player leaves the area" So hopefully this is now fixed.

Does anyone know if there are plans to upgrade the TOPS server so that there isn't a 30+ minute queue time just to play?

When I get the urge to start over I just dump everything in a chest and run thousands of blocks away and start from scratch there. Usually I do this because of terrain generation updates. But I would say around the 100 hour mark.

This sounds just like: Natural Trail Mod I just started using this mod, it's awesome!

Because of this when I see people mention the true name of "the other block game" I react just like they react to "He who shall not be named". "How dare they speak its true name in this community!" Lol Vintage Story is such a better game, I love it so much. It is better than I imagined "the other block game" could have been, and constantly improving. Thanks to the Devs, you are awesome!

I tested this a while back using "/db prune 0 drop confirm" and it seemed to regenerate chunks near me, but kept all my buildings, etc. I did notice that I had a trader camp that I had put a fence around stay, but a new one appeared 2 chunks away. And other traders disappeared. I also had some blue clay deposits nearby which I hadn't dug into yet, disappear. (As this was the update that added red clay) I ended up not pruning my chunks, but it made my save file like 2% of what it was, so totally worth it if your save file gets huge.

Correct. The barrel recipes have to be exact, as they cannot contain 2 types of liquids.

I totally understand the desire to stick with vanilla, that's why I only play with client mods, or mods I understand/have control over. If there are breaking updates I don't want to loose my world. So if I can fix them I can keep my world around forever

To be clear, the video was a one time occurrence, which I'm not really concerned about. My biggest question is when the blocks just disappear, most of the dirt instead of falling, wiggle then disappear. This didn't used to happen in the same world pre 1.20.4. I started this world in 1.19 then upgraded to 1.20 It sounds like it happens to more people than me, so I guess it's a bug. :)

I absolutely love this idea! To tie it into the existing game mechanics you could draw on it the same color as the pigment in your hand. Time to research how to mod the map.....

I made a mod specifically for this reason, adding cloth blocks: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/19533 And expanded the selection to include leather blocks: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/19568 Hope this helps.

I'm on 1.20.4 in this video, so it is still an issue with dirt.

I always wiggles and disappears now And sometimes it does this:

Thanks

I was just wondering if it is easy to buy multiple copies/accounts. One of which my son will be using to play with me and my wife. Both me and my wife bought the game separately, but I was wondering mostly because he is young and doesn't have an email or anything. So it would really just be my second copy.

I had a similar issue when I started a world with a terrain generator mod, saved quit, turned off the mod and loaded up the game. It wouldn't generate new chunks, luckily I was just testing so it didn't break a world I cared about. Could be a similar issue just a thought.
