Why would I need that? I'm making the walls of the castle out of suevite cobblestone and dry stone blocks, not just polished full blocks. I'm not that crazy.

Hello, I'm in the process of trying to build a castle out of Suevite, since I think it looks pretty (and I like the idea of a castle made of shock metamorphosed stone created by rocks falling from space). But I've only ever found three impact craters, all by accident, and that got me like 1/6th of the way there on my build. So any tricks or advice to finding the impact craters would be appreciated.

In my experience it's like any other stone type in the game (i.e. Granite, Limestone, etc.) where once you find a region with you you have all you need. In my own experience I often find it border regions with basalt, but that might just be coincidence.

I prefer to keep mine tall but functional. Although I do need to play around with tapered designs.

To be fair, if you can find a ruin at the surface, they make for good starter bases. Once you clean the mold off of everything and clear up the clutter. As you can see here:

Sadly for all of us, the letter ash has fallen out of the English alphabet despite the pronunciations still acting like it's there.

Welcome, glad to have you here. I hope you have a wonderful time in Vintage Story. And, remember, you can always come here to get help or advise. Now go out there and build something beautiful, be in a small cottage, a castle made from meteor deformed rock, or a simple longhouse.

Having now put a few hundred hours into this game over the last few months, I can say that (for me) the most fun in late game Vintage Story is the colored ceramics and the chiseling. There's just something so rewarding about filling the shelves with pretty cooking pots, crocks, and bowls. Especially for my current build where I got really into alcohol brewing, and decided to make my two storerooms have color coded jugs for each type of alcohol present (something that took quite a while since I didn't find blue clay deposits until 265 hours into this world, so 2/3rds of the blue clay jugs were made from panned clay. No I do not regret the 15 or so hours of panning gravel to get it, it let me catch up on podcasts ). For those wondering the jug color/fruit pairings I use are: Tan: Apple Orange: Pear Red: Red Currant Brown: Cranberry Cream: White Currant Græy: Blueberry Black: Black Currant Fireclay: Cherry and Honey (when 1.22 comes out Cherry will go to the new Earthen Orange) Dark Brown: All types of grain alcohol (Rye and Spelt). I also deeply love the specialty ceramic jugs and flower pots you can buy from traders. And would love it if they also sold bowls and jugs in those patterns (since it would let me add more types of alcohol to my shelves, and also I think a beehive pattern bowl/jug would look really beautiful). Apart from just food, having smithing molds as an option, even if by the late game most of them aren't the most useful, is just wonderful to have. And the bricks and shingles options make for wonderful additions to any build. So this is my way of saying thank you to the developers of this game for making such wonderful things as the beehive kiln and so many types of ceramics. It really is the small things that makes this game so special. If anyone else has screenshots of their ceramic setups or beautiful things they have made in Vintage Story, please feel free to share them below. It's always so wonderful to see what people are getting up to. So I'll leave you with a picture of my dinning set up. And now I'm off to find more meteor impact craters, as I've decided I want to build a castle made of Suevite. For how many can boast to have a castle whose walls were shock metamorphosed by meteors?

Well I decided to make a basement alcohol storage and color coat each type of alcohol by clay color, only to not find a Blue Clay deposit for the first 256 hours and 40 minutes. So I spent hours and hours panning gravel to get the blue clay to make all the pretty jugs I wanted. But hey, now I got a basement that looks like this:

In my experience I find that having two high fences is generally best because it both keeps animals from jumping over the fences during winter when snow builds up, but it also means that bowtorn have a much harder time of shooting you when you walk outside, assuming your base isn't beneath some cliffs (two high fences wouldn't help you then). Personally I find that having a base fence of stone wall with a wooden fence on top of it (especially the rough fences) looks really nice, and makes for a very cozy vibe when inside them. As can be seen in this build:

Yeah, they really are something to see. Especially since they happen naturally and so can be easily missed by being under ground, having a cloudy sky, or just sleeping through it. Really adds to the magic of the game.

Not at the moment. But they have teased some fishing stuff soon™. So maybe we will get it and maybe not. But as it stands now, no.

For me it's what I can get. First year is always berries, I try and get bushes of the five major types (Cranberry, Blueberry, Red/Black/White Currants). As well as cuttings of whatever fruit trees I can find planted near my base. In practice I find I always get pear trees and cherries, but then have to struggle to get apples just because I always have bad luck on finding them (at least finding red and yellow ones) and having the cuttings take to the soil. But I always go out of my way to get every type of fruit I can since I like the making alcohol game. I don't drink a tone of it in game, but I like making it. Can't say why.

It's very much a start. Well done. Keep at it. There's much to make.

Thank you. I didn't know we had a builds thread, I'm somewhat new to the forums. As for the large book, that's a prop item I found in a ruin and fixed up with glue to pick up. A lot of the things I have on display are like that. If you're unfamiliar with glue just Cook resin and charcoal in a pot (it will ruin the pot for cooking). It takes 3 units of glue to fully fix something up. And glue hardens after a time so you have to be quick about it. But there are a lot of things you can grab form those ruins that make for good decorations.
