Darn it. And I'm guessing there was no other setting listed that looked likely? This really needs some documentation that is easy to find.

Go to Settings > Controls and there should be something that toggles between views. It might be F5? eta: I think the default is to not show arms

Considering how many people are playing VS this cannot be the first time this has happened to someone. I'm willing to bet that @Tyron has some solution or recommendation so that you can play without being attacked.

Oh no! I don't know how much Tyron reads this area of the forum. If you post your problem over in Vintarian Support, you may have a better chance of getting the help that you need. Best wishes! I hope they get you up and running safely very soon.

Yes, I like your idea about limiting the scythe. Personally, I've only used the scythe for grains and grass. I didn't know it cut other crops until your post.

If we are to have a tool for gathering root crops, please let it not be the hoe. As an avid gardener, that would just... just. It would spoil in-game gardening for me since hoes are so NOT the type of tool needed for that task. Perhaps an alternative idea to making the hoe more useful: Require hoeing at the start of the growing season, or between planting crops. Or the hoe can be used for destroying/cutting grass on farmland. That would be much more in keeping with the real use of a hoe.

You could also use sea shells, chalk, or borax. Some (all?) of these ingredients can also be purchased from traders. I hadn't thought about the possible process for taming a bear. ugh! There is no way I'd go through multiple generations of breeding. Personally, I'd rather use a magical device that tames them instantly. I would like to see a handsome stag as a mount. That would be glorious!! Is the new animal a gazelle? Or antelope? Whatever, anyway their animation is so nicely done that it gives me hope that a nice stag is possible.

There was talk of Polar Bears being used for mounts. This came up during a MP youtube video. I can't remember if Saraty was there, or if someone was quoting her (and of course I've no idea if or when it would be implemented).

I didn't notice anything, but then again I've only played SP and don't really pay attention to things involving servers.

This was just asked by someone else in another thread and @Zandramasprovided the solution: If you go to the linked page, Tyron provides a temporary fix (download and instructions in his post here).

If you scroll down on the page Zandramas posted, you will find that Tyron posted a temporary fix (so you won't have to wait for the next version). There is a download, and some instructions, in Tyron's post.

You may get better help by posting your question in the Support Forum. Best wishes! I hope you will be able to play very soon.

Animal riding and boats are already on the roadmap. meh.. linkage isn't working, here is url: https://www.vintagestory.at/roadmap.html/

I see it as a server that meets the needs of those players with limited time (weekend only). I would do it... if I could get up the nerve to be around other people. Ah well.

I've not played MP. Is it the case that time passes only when players are on the server? Could a solution be to play with others that restrict their playtime to weekend only?

I haven't had chickens for awhile but unless something has changed in recent updates, roosters will fight each other even to death. Of course that does not explain what you've described. But with a crowded chicken pen, it wouldn't be surprising to have rooster deaths.

With that information, I searched the News forum to learn more. There were 2 recent additions preparing for ropes and boats to be implemented: I could not find the wiki information on these, but maybe the rope simulation did not work out and was removed in 1.16.5? I do not know. This is the first I heard of it.

Boats and ropes for animals have not been added to Vintage Story yet. I believe they are planned for the future. If you've already seen them in the game, then it must have been a mod.

Is it possible that this is an issue of installing the update version versus the full install? Several years ago someone had no music and the solution was for them to use the full install (which contains the music), but that doesn't quite sound like the same problem you are having.

Just realized I misread your first post. I had it backwards (that it couldn't make a wooden club). Sorry about that!

Hmm. That's interesting.

No authority on the subject but a quick search shows that kapok wood is light and porous, best used as carving material and making dugout canoes. My guess is that the crafting choice was intentional.

Kurazarrh has amazing accuracy with a spear, and at quite a distance!

I didn't know that clay wasn't supposed to be in areas of low precipitation. Are you sure that was not just a coincidence within your past world gen? I use patchy climate, so maybe that makes a difference? But my last two worlds (1.16-1.17, possibly began one world in 1.15) had base in low precipitation area and there was also clay.

No, immature crops do not always drop a seed. It seems to me that wild crops in the earliest stage of growth have the highest likelihood of dropping seed.
