I know, but you have to take into account that there are performance considerations to be had. Forests are already an issue for medium-low end hardware, and adding logs that are so strictly round would make your framerate come crashing down as soon as you get close to a greened area.

No they're not fast enough. They strategically chase down their victims until its either surrounded by the pack or to exhausted to run.

IRL roe deer follow behavior patterns somewhat similar to what rams do ingame. Small packs of one male and multiple females. The problem is they're FAST, and right now there is no predator that could currently match their speed.

When I'm home this weekend, I'l place some logs down and chisel them to give a better picture of my suggestion.

I know forests make performance issues for certain types of hardware due to large amounts of foliage being present, but would it be a big performance hit if you were to just clip off some edges from those blocky tree trunks? It doesn't have to be much, just a few voxels from every edge to just roughly approach roundness. Your foliage generation algorithm is already way superior to that certain other block game, this action would sever all (even if entirely coincidental) ties to it completely.

I am a master fabricator. I do not say this to brag, but rather to express that I know how build something from scratch. When you build something, you don't do it like "a little bit here, a little bit there". You male wholistic pieces, phases. You finish smaller parts that you then merge into bigger parts. And even then, there are certain parts that can only be fitted once everything else is complete. So those obvious holes you see isn't room left for modders per sé, these are actual components that developers have put aside to be done at a later date due to limited resources or lack of time. Sure, modders can still step in to temporarily fill the gap, some may even do it so well that the developers will leave it be as it is or just port into the game as a standard feature.

No... not yet annyway. But you're not the only one raising eyebrows over this lack of options. At this point I would like to point out the paradox of you, or anyone else for that matter, ascribing lack of features to an unfinished game. Vintage Story is already deeper than minecraft is ever going to be. I am eagerly awaiting to see just how far they will take it.

Holding the control key while scrolling will let you move your selection to your backpack menu. You select the beehive, then place it down like you would a chest.

OP what you posted is straight up wrong. I have been with Minecraft since it was open beta, it went to the crapper when Notch sold his ass to Microsoft, not before.

Or if you are blackguard, the blackguard shortsword.

Well, in all honesty, they are making some efforts to accommodate otherwise less active players, such as slowing food spoilage. But if you want what you asked for, then you can simply have a server that closes on the weekends. Doing that would basically set the game to be likewise to opening it to LAN, which in my opinion is no longer an open server but just "a little something" to for people to get together on weekends.

My card is 15% faster with 1GB more VRAM, running Linux , which means I have also more system resources overhead. Newer doesn't always mean better. Back in 2015 it was so over the top that my vendor turned pale when I explained the parts I wanted. In the end I had to order them to be shipped from germany. It even has the third revision prototype pci-e 3.0 storage, which is today called m.2, a xeon processor equivalent to the i7 4790k, and and 16GB of RAM when no-one in their right mind put more than 8GB in any home desktop pc. Back in the day, there were a lot of smartasses who told me that this is not how a gaming rig is made. 7 years later, they all had to completely replace 2 computers while I, just this year, began contemplating my next masterpiece of long-lasting gaming performance. I am a pc building expert of over 20 years now. I do everything except showcase "bling bling" pc's... these are for scrubs that want hide the fact that they're nothing more than audacious noobs. But enough self promotion. In short, my pc is faster, and 15% may not sound much, but it compounds into quite a bit higher framerates.

Don't winters or tropical summers kill crops?

1440p, 125% resolution scale, 608 view distance, god rays enabled. This is running 80fps, with 1% lows being at 40fps on my 7 year old gtx 980 with 4GB vram on Linux. So I don't think there is any justification for such low frames.

I am someone with not a lot of time on their hands. How would multiplayer suit someone like me, since mechanics like food decay are present even when the player is absent from the game. I can only play on the weekend, saturdays and sundays. Would I be able to function in such an environment?

My comment pertains to availability of any particular resource when crafting helve hammer heads. You will have access to large quantities of Iron by the time you're in a position to able to make one. It pays to save copper for alloys, meant for decorative purposes. Most people usually carry a knife around, they don't usually carry an axe. I am talking about dispatching the occasional drifter nuisance, not going deep underground, fighting sawblade locusts butt naked with a knife. Of course the axe will be better in that regard. ... Or just go mining armed. Can never have enough gears...

Here are some helpful tips I learned the hard way, something that no tutorial or let's player hasn't mentioned or doesn't know: Go slow when exploring. Not only is there a danger of you falling into a concealed pit and dying, it is also easy to skip over valuable resources since they are often hard to see. A casual stroll in the woods will net you a bounty of valuable resources. But keep your ears, yes your EARS, not your eyes open. Forrests are thick, and you will more often than not, hear a potential threat before seeing it. Bears and wolves will growl when they're coming after you, giving you MAYBE half a second to mash that sprint button and run! Molybdochalkos is an excellent material for lanterns since both lead and copper are easy to obtain. Drifters are crazy. Sometimes they will fight and kill each other just so that the winner would be the only one who tries to murder you! Foxes are a good source of fat and they die with a single metal spear throw... but only in spring and summer. Some bronzes are harder to make & obtain than Iron. The first bronze, any type of bronze item you should make, is an anvil. If you have enough left over for a pickaxe, you can skip straight to Iron if you knew where there is some. Black Bronze spears are the most powerful craftable ranged weapons in the game. First hit won't make the wolf run away, but the second will already kill him. Making pounder caps or helve hammer heads out of anything lesser tier than Iron is a waste of resources. If you don't have wind power yet, don't bother processing all the iron blooms. When you need to smith, just heat them up, shape them into ingots, then instantly smith then into whatever you need, they cool very slowly. Pick all the berries you can! Its okay if they rot, you can make compost in barrels, which in turn leads to making high fertility soil if you don't have enough Terra Preta, and they are good for fertilizing crop fields. Bears are present in Vintage Story. And those eency-weency fences won't keep them out. Build a stable to house the animals, totally sealing access to them. Unless bears are the ones you want to tame, in which I case, PLEASE record your efforts. The community would LOVE to see that suicidal suicidal comedy! Tameable animals can't swim against the current. Build a trench two blocks wide and at least two blocks deep to where you want them to go, then use water buckets to "flush" them in your desired direction. Make sure you spawn that water outside the trench since they can swim up water sources. Making dirt scaffolding? That will make you need a shovel to knock it down efficiently later on. Use hay blocks instead. Knocking down hay scaffolding is faster than a steel shovel with dirt, and you save a little bit of space of not needing tools. Brown bear? Don't. Just don't. Your guts will be on the ground before you had time to charge the second ranged shot. Only the heaviest armor and weapons will let you take one head-on. Unless you're a low-down, good for nothing, yellow-bellied cheesing coward. An Iron knife is a decent weapon against tier 1 enemies that hits really fast and often.

Look what I found 100 Tiles from where my intended house is! They can't seem to be able to fight the current; 2 males and 2 females - perfect! I shall build a stable nearby and a trench towards it, then lure them in with a trough.

Utter Lunacy! Disclaimer - many player built ships were severely harmed in the making of those videos!

My guess is that its not accidental. In multiplayer environment, people can claim lands. If one happens to have too much of one thing and not enough of the other, then trade is encouraged. Explore FAR away from your home. I believe you will find it eventually.

I saw shriveled prunes in that knit jug and I recognized the taste on whatever taste buds were left that the drink didn't fry. I can assure you, it was Schnapps, cousin cooks this stuff too, but he is a bit conservative on the condenser. Aber dieser schnapsen hat gefuhlt das es wie von teuffel gekommen ist, so stark war est. Hausmeister und hausmeisterin haben beiden auf mich gelaucht wenn der schuss hat mich fast am rucken geschmissen!

It took me 50 hours to figure out I had an obscenely large limestone deposit just casually sitting 100 blocks away from where I based. Stupid me have been digging LIMESTONE SAND the entire time for panning and didn't know the treasure that lies beneath. To add insult to humiliation, it looked bleach white on the map in the middle of summer. I felt so stupid that barely resisted the urge to do a rake jump, hoping the handle would smack some sense into me. (The rake jump) Chert sand, chert stones and chert gravel has chert rock underneath. Granite stones etc. have granite underneath. But nope, couldn't put 1 and 1 together for the most valuable building and tanning resource in the game. On second thought, please excuse me... (walks with determination to the nearest tool shed)

The game has no mercy on you. You will die. Don't try to understand how and when. It will even happen inside your own house. Death lurks around any corner. The only only control you have in how you will face it: You can walk around the world, clad in heavy armor, like a coward, with a plummeting hunger bar and inability to get anything done from being weighed down from all that plate, and it still might get you, and you will fall with two puddles of blood surrounding you, one crimson red, and one brown. OR You can go about the world with your head held high and face it, only conveniently armed and armored, and ready to fight to the death should your predator surprise you. Anything else than that is being huddled around the light with a false sense of security.

What you need to do next is to glug down a couple of pints of liquor. Then the whole scene will be like a wibbley, wobbley, winkey, wankey, monkey!

"TL, DR: I would basically just like to ask why did the developers choose that word for the last stage of liquor brewing in Vintage Story instead of one more recognizable..." Well, my history teacher's threats of knocking some sense into me with her giant slide rule have paid off, thusly I understand that "Aqua Vitae" Is a medieval term for a concentrated spirituous liquor, derived from ancient Latin as "the water of life" for it's falsely inferred healing properties. Yet, considering that, the word "Aqua Vitae" is deemed more obscure than "Schnapps", that word being recognized almost on the same scale as american moonshine. You would argue that concerning both words, Aqua Vitae is meant to have higher alcohol content than Germanic Schnapps, but I have reason to believe that is a misconception. You see, I was once on vacation in Tyrol (That is a pretty hilly region in western Austria), and I've had a taste of the homemade thing. I tossed one right off the cap, and 15 minutes later I felt like I was one step away from talking to unicorns in my room. I think the store-bought stuff is quite diluted for public consumption... and even that is around 40%! We Slovenians know our liquors. The region I come from might as well have its regional symbol replaced with a still. So either the devil was under the cap of that bottle or the homemade brew has WAY more than 40%! So why would you not want to name it Schnapps? Or maybe Alpenschnaps to sneak in a bit of Austria into the game?
