Hello fellow vintizens, I am a little ashamed to say I only just found out about this game through a minecraft youtuber called Boffy. They made a 2-hour video on the game. They struggled a lot: 30-or-so minutes of edited footage of them trying to do clay pottery, let alone fire it. Now my question is: I have seen a fair bit of stuff about how this game will work. So my title here isn't really accurate. But still: should I go in as blind as is still possible right now, or will it be too frustrating? I saw that the in-game help system is very good though. Some people suggested in their comments to change some settings, like tool durability and food spoil rate. Should I do any of that, or should "standard" be balanced even for a beginner? All in all, I heard this game is very good. I just don't want to ruin it for myself - maybe I already did by not going in completely blind? I wonder what you guys' opinion is here. Does it matter?

Distro / Kernel release : NixOS 25.11 (Xantusia/unstable), linux 6.12.31 Mono / .NET package version : dotnet-runtime 7.0.20 Graphics driver version : mesa 25.1.1 / intel-media-driver 25.1.4 Works for client, mp server or both : both Installation method used : NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1 nix profile install nixpkgs#vintagestory Hacks (if needed) : Updated the package myself, but I maintain various packages in nixpkgs, normal user wouldn't have to do that By the way: is there a way to get the latest stable version number of vintagestory programmatically? Like with a bash script? That would allow for an automated update.
