I don't normally scrutinize every single video thumbnail to make decide whether or not it's AI generated, but I immediately noticed the little honey pools at the bottom of the skeps were kinda suspicious. Can't say why, but this trips off my internal AI detector.

This one is from my most recent world: Very close to initial spawn was a surface cassiterite deposit, which are very rare by default. By picking up the surface pieces, I managed to gather just enough cassiterite bits to make enough tin-bronze for a pickaxe and hammer. To this day, I pride myself in the fact that I have still never once casted anything out of pure copper.

You might have a hard time starting a VS club from scratch, but chances are your university has a minecraft club. You could join it, work your way up the ladder, and then find a way to introduce a VS server as a sort of secondary side thing under the minecraft club umbrella. I've been trying to spread the good word of VS among my fellow students. Problem is, we're all in engineering, and therefore have precious little free time during semesters. People with limited time to relax are not as likely to try new games as they are to play ones they already own. I do believe though that the depth of VSs systems has an appeal for engineering students. Either that, or they would prefer an escape from that sort of thing.

I'd be very interested in trying this once Valve's new vr headset releases. I bought a Valve Index years ago, but the linux support on that thing is hopeless.

Why FreeBSD? I don't know anything at all bout the BSDs, or why one would prefer to host a server on FreeBSD vs linux.

No, that tracks. It's been the better part of a decade since I last used windows, but from what I can remember, that's just how it is.

What happens when you try to run the .exe from the terminal? That might give a more detailed error message. If that still doesn't tell you anything, try running it with the --logPath option set to get a printout of the log, or else locate where the logs are saved by default.

Wait, are they really? I've been pretty disconnected from the minecraft community for years, but I figure a bombshell like that would have hit my ears at least by now. If it is true, then that's actually kind of hilarious. Before I withdrew from the minecraft community, I was warning people that exactly that was going to happen eventually, but no one believed me. I was always told things like "Microsoft would never do that, They're not stupid. Microsoft can't do that, the java modding community is too well established." Because Microsoft, as we all know, has never ever been known to make decisions that ruin the quality of their products. Not once.

Create a creative mode world, and place both types side-by-side.

I love just about everything about this post. Was kinda hoping for new lore content in 1.23, but a combat update is also very welcome. The story trailer you're working on tells me you haven't totally given up on it. I quite like the story a lot. Very pleased with how you decided to handle the AI controversy. It's a good example of the lost art of compromise. Since much of modern day society has seemingly forgotten how to compromise, I expect there will be some vocal few who are very unhappy, but I believe capitulating to one side or the other does irreparable damage to a community, both online and IRL. I quite like the Vintage Story community. Would hate to see it ruined like so many others. Some will claim that anything less than taking a hard non-compromising stance on a divisive issue will ruin the community, but I have yet to see that happen. Been so curious about the other projects, like Glint and etc. Glad to hear they've not been forgotten about. There is just one thing that worries me, and that's the creator program. @LadyWYT has already sorta touched on my concerns on that. While I do not at all believe VS is at risk of turning into the minecraft marketplace, I still struggle to think of a case where funding, either through monetization or official license, ever actually benefits a modding community. Who knows though, maybe Anego will be the ones to pull it off. In the mean time though, I sure hope you guys elaborate on what you're planning.

I think I've decided to make a compilation of all my favorite sound effects from VS. Definitely one of those things is the sound chutes make when they pass an item.

Here's a concept that new players seem to frequently miss: The perceived scarcity of materials depends a lot on your ability to travel. When you first start, hunger, cold, weakness, and other factors prevent you from traveling very far from your home, and so you end up finding fewer resources. Your goal in the early stages should be to find ways to increase your ability to travel. Crafting armor, warm clothing, improving food production/preservation, etc. As you cover a larger area, important materials become more and more common. Edit: Oh and on that note, whenever you go exploring, always bring a prospecting pick with you. Sample every square kilometer or so.

As far as I'm aware, a large hide can only be crafted into a medium hide, right? Well, you can craft medium hides into small hides from there at any rate.

Does being near a heat source reduce hunger rate (when past 100% due to cold)? I was under the impression that the hunger-rate debuf remains in force, no matter your internal temperature, but depends only on whether or not the game considers your current position to be indoors or out. The magnitude of the hunger rate debuf does depend on outside temperature, but in my own testing, it seems being near a heat source doesn't alleviate it at all. The only thing that puts a stop to it is going inside a building.

Also on a Linux laptop with an NVIDIA GPU. What I've discovered is that my gpu is pretty much capable of handling all graphical settings at their highest value except shadows. Even with everything else turned all the way down, shadows still kill my performance.
