@RubyFlareon YES! It was that mod! Thank you so much! I like having body temp and wind speed on my HUD since it's stuff that's mechanically important but not immediately obvious, and I feel like it's fair to have on hand since it's stuff you'd be able to just feel with your senses in an irl situation. The room indicator too since it makes house/cellar building less of a pain.

Since there's only One thread here at time of posting I thought I'd add a basic "What mod is this from" thread since I have a mod I can't remember the name of but I want to use again. Please tag me if you know what I'm talking about, if you don't know my mod but have a mod of your own you can't remember, please feel free to reply to my post with your "what mod was this?" Description. Hopefully we can help each other out -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There's a mod I want to download again, but I can't remember the name and I lost my original game files in an OS switch so I can't look and see what it was. It was a UI mod that let you add stuff like temperature, wind speed, time of day, and a bunch of other minor things to the game UI. I remember you could adjust the size of the UI elements and also set each individual element to appear at the center, edges, or corners of the screen, and then further adjust the X/Y position to get them in just the right place. Searching UI on the mod DB doesn't get results that look right to me.

I'm just curious about that since I read that the seasons will be different depending on whether you're close to the poles/equator, and I thought it'd be neat if the day/night cycle changed in a similar way. Also wondering if the sun stays in the sky for months on end like in the IRL arctic/antarctic circle, does that mean there's months with now drifter spawns (outside of storms/caves)

I've been trying to remake the vintage story modded experience I had on my ex's steam deck on my current computer, but I guess all of those mods don't play nice anymore so it's been a lot of trial and error. I tried running an older version of VS, 19.8, and see if that works, but I gave up on that and uninstalled it to try again with the current stable version. But something weird happened cause now the mod manager is still saying I have a bunch of mods in the mods folder, yet when I look in the folder it's empty save for the default basegame stuff: Mods folder contents: Mod Manager contents: I want to find wherever these are installed so I can delete all these mods, some of which are duplicates for different versions of the game, and start from scratch, but I can't find where these are installed on my computer because windows search is absolute garbage... clicking "open mods folder" just opens my documents folder in the C drive, which is not where I even have VS installed (I have it installed in my D drive) I also tried installing the Vehicles Library mod using one click install to see if I could search for it in my files and find where it was put, vehicleslib showed up in the mod manager, but I can't find where it is in my system despite searching for it in both my C and D drives... UPDATE: so searching for vehicleslib did work I just needed to not capitalize anything and also search in My Pc rather than one drive or the other, it took a while but I did find where one click install put it. the mods were installed in C:/Users/[my username]/AppData/Roaming/VintagestoryData/Mods Hopefully this helps anyone with the same issue as me in the future

(I know there's lore one can find, but i haven't found anything in-game regarding the drifters yet so this may or may not reflect their canonical appearance) The weird segmented neck and tiny dark spot on the otherwise blank "head" reminded me of a bug larva, I wasn't sure what the deal with the feet was beyond having 3 prominent "claws" so i drew them as Tapir feet.

Wait are there NPCs besides Traders? I've literally only seen three people in my whole single player world and they were all traders.

You can hit the "disable UI" button (I forget what the default keybind is but it should be listed in the options somewhere) while in bed you don't get the screen blackout and can see when the sun rises if you wanna get up as soon as there's light

I think it would be cool to make a small shrine to a chunk of meteoric iron. I have two blocks that I was able to quarry and I want to chisel one of them into a cool statue. I'm not sure what I should carve though, I've been playing around in a creative world but nothing is clicking yet.
-
Now that I've actually chiseled something allow me to share it here: I wanted to see how round I could make a block of polished sandstone be, then I added some slate smiley faces to it and carved a little fancy pedestal for it to sit on. I had to wait till daylight to take a decent screenshot cause the ones I took at night have a uhhh...unintended vibe

I think it would be fun if there was a "freeform" option when choosing what clay thing you want to sculpt, and then you could use the clay forming tools to make little sculptures of whatever you want. The resulting creation would have no use, but itd be a fun alternative to chiseling to make little decorations. The clay sculpt can be put in the crafting grid to "recycle" it back into clay, or it can be fired to make it a permanent object. Being able to paint the sculpt with dyes would be fun too but idk how easy that would be to implement

I wanna get into chiseling cause it looks fun but I don't even know where to start, show me what yall've made with a good ol hammer and chisel

There was also the time when I was ambushed by a steppe lion* after a fruitless round of prospecting below a frozen lake. We both ended up slipping and sliding across the ice like god damned loony toons before the cat eventually ended me. I was pissed at the time but in hindsight that was a pretty funny way to go *From the mod "Fauna of the Stone Age: Pantherinae" by Tentharchitect

It was spring of year 0, I had only just spawned in a few days ago and was still figuring out the basics of survival... I was sitting in a dirt pile I'd made for quick shelter, night was falling, there was thunder and lightning outside, and I could hear wolves nearby. I'd happened upon some clay and decided to pass the time making a crock, id just built and lit the pit kiln when I realized I didn't have any food with me, and my hunger was rapidly reaching critical levels. I lamented my lack of forsight and mental prepared for the inevitable pain of starvation...and then I shit you not a rooster ran into my hut through the single block window I'd left open to observe the weather. The bird couldn't figure out how to leave so it ended up running circles around my pit kiln, where it immediately caught fire and died. When I recovered from the shock I quickly butchered the bird and had a nice chicken dinner to tide me over till it was safe to explore again. I will never forget the sacrifice of that beautiful stupid chicken

I can't get screenshots rn so I drew an image of what I mean: I'm trying to make a more rounded looking roof, which means the roof isn't always at a 45 degree angle, and I can't figure out how to make the roof tile blocks look good. Ive been playing in creative mode to make a house before I build it for real in survival, so I can see what all the materials look like

I'm so used to the other block game where you need to hold down a button to raise the shield, but that doesn't seem to happen in this game when I have my shield equipped. Does my character automatically use the shield to block blows or is there a button I need to press/hold?
-
I figure I should have a decent weapon for exploring the overworld (looking for a good spot to build a windmill) and upgrading to a metal spear seems good, but the smithing tooltip for a bronze spear head says it "breaks easily". Is this just flavor text copy pasted from stone spears, or do all spears just have inherently low durability regardless of material? I like the reach a spear has but I don't want to waste good metal on something that will break after a few uses.

LADDERS CAN WORK EVERY OTHER BLOCK? That saves me so many ladders holy moly
-
Ooookay that makes sense, I wasn't going down deep enough. I'll return to my old bore holes and keep digging, see if I find something.
-
I am using the node search mode, and I'm prospecting frequently as I head down. I started with spiral staircase holes but then switched to using water elevators to try and save my last pickaxe. I haven't counted how deep my bore holes are but I'm consistently getting low enough that my temporal stability gear starts spinning backwards.

Im not sure where to install the abc files on steam deck, my error says "ABC error: could not find folder at app/extra/vintage story/abc" I can't find the folder it's looking for to add the ABC files into

I found a spot on the map that measures Very High for Native Copper, but it's on the coastline which makes mining there a huge pain, I've dug like 11 holes downward prospecting for a vein and found nothing, it is immensely frustrating. Am I having bad luck, or is it harder to find Ore in lower elevation/flat areas compared to mountainous areas? My map is pretty hilly so most of my previous pre finds have been in mountains.
-
I'm not sure if this is a skill issue on my part or just added difficulty from me playing VS on a Steam Deck and having to use the analogue sticks to aim my spears. I have yet to win a fight with a wolf, I tried to pillar up last time but I wasn't able to aim my block placement fast enough and ended up making a short platform for the wolf to kill me on

How important is Leather for winter prep?
ToothedMammal replied to ToothedMammal's topic in Questions
Do you not need to make leather to make fur? I might have been mixing those two things up... -
I want to make leather armor and backpacks and other stuff, but I am still looking for any rock strata that I can grind for lime. I don't feel ready to go cave diving so for now I'm just prospecting on the surface, but as the greenery turns orange I'm wondering if there's more important things I need to do before winter... I have a rammed earth house, and a cellar, and copper tools, but my amor is still just sticks and logs, and I only have one container vessel of vegetables and berries stored away for winter
