I use both of those mods and they work fine for me. I've not changed any volumes in AT though (I use it for visuals).

That sounds like a valuable clue for the Team: Issue Tracker

Acacia logs will also work, although I have no idea if Agricultural Traders sell acacia seeds.

Oh, man! That really sucks. In that case, I would definitely bring this to the attention of the devs via the issue tracker. Clearly they intend for those handicapped by the absence of stone/flint to be compensated by means of the specialty vessels. Therefore they must not be aware that custom settings such as you've used nether generate stone/flint, nor the specialty vessels.

What you've proposed could be fun. However I also think this approach would spoil the replay value for me. I enjoy the 'setting up' phase of games and will play the early days over and over ad nauseum. I cannot relate to the concept of playing a game to 'complete' it. For this reason, I would hope that implementation of your proposal would be an entirely separate mode (or mod, as you've said) in the same manner as we currently have the "Homo sapiens" mode. I do think that I would enjoy trying it out. I also suspect that (for me) it would be a one and done type experience.

v1.17 added "Arctic Supplies" cracked vessels that drop flint, stone, clay, and various plant material. I wonder what exactly prompts the generation of this type of cracked vessel -- is it the same conditions that prevent stone & flint from spawning?

I'm glad you've asked, as I've wondered the same thing! I had no idea that we even have a referral link associated with our account. I'd assumed it might have something to do with someone using the VS discord invitation link that I sometimes post in the forums. I've certainly never posted my referral link anywhere.

I encountered this in an earlier version (a much earlier version). I fiddled around with mouse wheel sensitivity, which seemed to help to some extent. However it finally resolved itself when I replaced the mouse. I've not had the issue repeat since then.

Oddly, was looking again for butterflies while playing tonight - didn't see any in maybe half an hour of playtime. Then exited and re-entered the game, and 2 butterflies immediately flew up right in front of me! I mean, almost seeming to emerge right from under my feet. I've never had this happen before. No idea what caused the change. @AutumnCreature22344

I see what you mean now. There is a post about this in the issue tracker. There is another setting that must be made when rebinding shift and ctrl. Please see the solution which is shown in a screenshot.

Are you aware that knapping stones works slightly differently than knapping flint? When you place a piece of flint, you instantly see choices for knapping. However with stone, you place a piece of stone and it just sits there. You have to act as though you are placing it again to see the choices for knapping. I suspect this may be the problem you're having, since you say that you "can only knap flint." Regarding rebinding the keys: I think you already know this, that when you rebound Crouch to Ctrl (instead of Shift) it changed knapping to Ctrl right click. If you can actually knap flint using Ctrl right click, then I think the issue is what I wrote above.

Vanilla already has trader camps. They don't happen very often, but they are there.

Do you have "Block Interaction Help" turned on? It is in Settings > Interface. With this enabled, you can see which tool will extract a material by looking at the material. I understand your frustration with the manual. Please know that it is not finished, and will not be finished for quite some time. You may be able to influence the design by posting in the "Suggestions" area of the forum.
