i think an improved firestarter is a bit redundant, the torch is already the improved firestarter, and then the lanterns would be as well if you could use it to re-light torches and other lamps as well in this context. i feel like with it, you're more likely to forget this item (or, not want to waste the entire inventory slot) and then just end up making a disposable one with grass and sticks?

the quality of life seems great, until you accidentally leave the door open and the lantern extinguishes next time you take a dip (evil laughter)

Aseprite is a high recommendation, it's very clean to work in and I use it for sprites specifically If you're doing a slightly bigger scale or if you need really smooth pixel lines, i'd recommend paint tool SAI. it is a $50 one-time-purchase license but it's made by one person and genuinely has the best pixel tool i've ever used, as well as running extremely fast and light. (totally shilling since it's my main art program but, i love it.)

if you click on your profile in the top right of the forums, you can go to 'my attachments' to deal with that

ooh just like the three sisters! even if it isn't directly on top, would be neat to have certain crops boost soil nutrients they're on or adjacent.

personally a huge fan of QP's chisel tools, i think just the pantograph and hand planer would fit really well into vanilla. the pantograph does feel like it has an insane amount of durability for casual builders, just being a copy-paste shape tool, but it's well-balanced for huge projects imo. the hand planar is just a quality of life that i'd die for (shave off one layer of voxels at a time). those two tools just have the same specific feel as some other vanilla ones to me, like the crowbar

i used to rely on a survival goods trader like that for halite all the time!! defo look for one if you rely on bread for gears :3

inventory is the best as most have said, but if you have a large quantity.. crates left out in the open are what i've always done with big leftover veg/grain that's destined for the rot barrel, it's not as good as the inventory spoilage rate but it is efficient storage wise, and you can just walk past and see if the crate says rot or not if you're vanilla, all you can do is store your seeds for later or plant them up. if you've got the culinary artillery / expanded food mods, you can put them in a fruit press to get some free oil.

we once had a heavy temporal storm coincide with apocalyptic activity, and after fighting in our little hut for a while, we ended up breaking a hole in the roof to see what was going on outside... growing pulsing mass of drifters building up outside killed themselves because they all tried to throw rocks at once. somehow every storm i've been through has just been a little different lol

yess that last part is absolutely true, i do it all the time sleeping has a side effect of reducing your hunger rate by a lot just because you're standing still and not clicking for 3 seconds, which in turn should reduce how quickly you burn through hunger pause as well, if i'm understanding the wiki correctly so it would understandably make it feel like it's lasting longer!

ahh, they probably can't go in troughs yeah. but you should be able to throw them on the ground and they'll graze on it that way. i've never tried feeding mushrooms to pigs honestly O:

i think it should be more expensive than that leather-wise, looking at the other recipes for boots they use at least 8-12 leather something like this, just with the two knife blades. ooooough....

VS ownership is based on account, so i think you should click on where it says 'Client Area' at the top to get a fresh install, log in using your vintage story account, then import your worlds. (not quite sure how that part works personally!)

omg i want this too

i know it won't perfectly align with your stone fences, but you could just chisel this out of one of your cobblestone blocks to be a perfect chimney (and then, the rest of the supports if it's bothering you that they don't all match now)
