I have been doing that! That lead me to the cassiterite vein. It's not a gigantic vein, but it definitely was enough to get me started into the bronze age - and soon iron age. As a bonus it's right next to a limonite vein and very close to my home. I've been trying to but I dare not to travel too far with winter coming in. I have managed to get lucky with a couple spots.

I've been digging around towards the east from my home, my best lead so far for cassiterite is 0.1‰. Fortunately enough, there's a massive vein of copper and limonite there! I've been finding what seems like ruined trading posts. I can't modify any blocks there as they are claimed by traders, but weirdly enough there weren't anyone around the structure. My area is strangely barren besides one tree house containing a building materials trader. Update: I found the cassiterite vein at that 0.1‰ prospecting point. Thankfully this will make for a good amount of bronze for me in the near future, especially with the massive copper veins around me and the couple of iron veins around.

Poor cassiterite, very poor sphalerite, and decent bismuthinite.

I've been traveling for a while all over around my home and the maps below are the results of cassiterite, sphalerite, and bismuthinite. The highest results I've found so far in order are 0.07‰ cassiterite, 0.50-0.59‰ sphalerite, and 2.06‰ bismuthinite. Hilariously enough I've found a 4.02‰ hemitite reading nearby. Are the readings for bronze alloy component materials usually that low? I got lucky and found 12 bits of cassiterite from a ruin urn, but I don't quite have enough to make a bronze anvil and hammer to go into the iron age yet.

That they do, they've jumpscared me a few times at this point but with spears I managed to circle around two and take them down! I'm breaking the pelts I got from them into leather but I definitely will save some to make into warmer clothing... I got a lot of bushmeat from those bears too. I cooked them all into meat to ease my food situation for a few days and it definitely helped. However, I'm wondering if it was wiser to venture out to the lake a fair distance away and turn all of that bushmeat into bait to try to fish? Fishing seemed a bit...inconsistent for me so far.

Okay, I shall start marking spots where I see specific animals and check if they reliably spawn there. I didn't realize this either but I sure will be breaking all the crops and plant them all down, especially since I have access to an abundance of medium fertility soil and a bucket at this point. I put flax seeds in the trough because I thought the grain would attract animals. I shall try filling it with hay! Would filling a small trough with grain work for chickens?
-
How can you tell those locations? Just keep an eye out and make a mental note whenever traveling by specific spots?

Pretty much! I leave the markers for spots where there are still crops that aren't fully grown. So that's why I've been getting drops from the monsters despite not harvesting them. Good to know! I'm also trying to get leather started so I could make a set of leather armor. I know they may not be the best in terms of protection seeing as copper lamellar is right there should I want to pursue it but the hunger increase seems to be unwise for me at this moment.

Some quick Pythagorean between my home and the bottom most prospecting node comes to about 950 blocks, if my math was correct. I didn't want to travel too far from home yet because my inventory space is still limited - 2 linen sacks and 2 hunter packs - and my food situation hasn't been quite solved yet. I do have a copper falx and was planning to work out a shield for some bear hunting along with a bow. Would it be better for me to pivot into copper spears instead?

Thank you! I'm wondering if that's been actually fixed because I haven't seen a singular animal in the moat I dug around my farm and I was on rc4... I've gotten myself a clay oven so I've been making pies whenever possible and stews/soups for other times. Hunting for meat wouldn't be so bad now that I can make copper arrows for my bow (hopefully I can get to bronze soon!) but it's the grain for flour that I've been struggling with the most, since I am still stuck to foraged grain. (Maybe rc5 fixed why my crops has been taking forever to grow lol) It does sound like it might be time for me to do this since I need to venture out and find some other ore to make bronze!

I've foraged most of the berries and mushroom near my home, which usually means I'll now have to go far out to have luck finding them. But thank you, I'll keep that in mind. Are there recommended ways to trap animals? I kept seeing videos about pit traps to capture rabbits and such but I haven't been able to capture anymore than one.

Hello! I'm a new player to Vintage Story. So far, I've gotten to the late copper stage with an anvil and saws, but I'm still struggling on food needs. I have a farm going with a large variety of grains and vegetables, including a lot of flax, bit I still need to figure something out while the plants take their sweet time growing. I've captured a boar in a pit by sheer luck, but I've yet to lure a sow to the same pit. I dug out a pit with a trough with some flax grain in it plus moat around my farm and a reed basket trap a bit away from my home. However, I've yet to passively catch any animals those ways. Playing on the 1.22 rc versions means I can fish, but I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong? Am I supposed to just forage and hunt a lot before my first winter?
