ngl getting pieces of flax fibers most of the times and not even from every drifter feels almost the same as you used to get a feathers from zombies in Minecraft beta version - doesn’t really feel rewarding since planting flax is not a problem and even sometimes makes you ask yourself „why flax?”. Other thing when drifter happens to drop rusty gear or blue one - although from lv 0 and lv 1 drifters probability is so low that you usually don’t even want to waste your time for them. Many reasons why a lot of people play the game modded since vanilla is still missing tons of stuff.

Travel for ~30k block towards south to get to warm climates - palm trees, new animals, you wont freeze, can grow crops and snow doesnt trigger you. I also recommend creating new world in not deafult settings - There is way to less water so best setting it up for about 20-40% land and 400% size of ocean so that you can make use of rafts and boats if you want to travel. You won’t really be able to get a windmill until you grow bigger amounts of flax so yh winter do suck. Install a few mods - basic game is well developed and got a lot of features etc. but there are still a lot of things missing not gonna lie Get on a server - there are some great survival servers with mods and plugins installed. Vintage story is for now a whole different community so you dont really have to worry about griefers (even if there are claim plugins turned on on most servers) Lets say that you don’t wanna change anything and keep playing on your current world - during winter you can catch some animals, mine, explore caves and find some translocators or simply build (although ngl during winter it is annoying) it really depends on what youve already done.

Yep, there are not too many structures in the game that would make exploration that interesting. World generator is not the best, ruins are not the best (thats why you install better ruins mod), merchants are all the same and in caves you pretty much search only for translocators. Its not like I’m not enjoying the game because I am and I hope that many of these things will be improves eventually. The thing is that whenever I go out I usually go in search of resources (wood, leather, resin, ore, etc.) and not pure exploration. The game already has classes to choose so it already feels like 5-10% rpg, we should wind it up a bit and add some dungeos and (maybe) xp system (but a bit more limited since its vintage story), some more structures, villages, better world generation.

Yep, for me lakes are partly frozen as well even though there is at least 30C+. I hope they will fix that eventually.

Not sure if everyone feels the same but imho it is extremly easy to run away from things by holding jump and sprint at the same time - blocks are not stopping you if you know how to juke them with mouse. I think it should be somehow nerfed/limited or mobs a bit more buffed.
