Alright, you sold me, maybe I could take it easy for a while, I am just worried that I might get spoiled and then suddenly take a crack into my singleplayer world and end up getting owned by a rabbit or something like that.

I can led you my "expertise" if you will have it. I may be just a cut above intermediate in vintage story, but I am pretty nifty around block in games in general, I have considerable experience in minecraft and space engineers.

Did you start your server yet?

Don't cast ingots until you've had multiples of 20 nuggets in the crucible. To fill a mold, you need multiples of 100 units of ore per ingot or tool mold (The tooltip will tell you for the rest, both cruicible and molds).

If you happened to have a surplus that you need to pour in and it doesn't fill the mold, let it cool and then use the chisel to tear it apart into nuggets for it to be recombined and melted again later.

I recommend you go supervise your friend, this is a bit of a step up from knocking rocks together, it may be a bit too much for him. If he doesn't get it, you can still knock some sense into his stone age skull by smacking him in the face with a shovel... in-game of course!

*SIGH*

I'd love to join, now is not a problem, but when my sick leave ends, I would be able to do it only the weekends. Food spoilage would be a massive issue for me.

That one seems a bit too cozy for me. And the reason behind classes is that encourages players interaction and trade. Do you want to take that away from people?

Hey guys,

I just got myself on sick leave from work due to a nasty injury, which I means I have plenty of time on my hands. I am not exactly a beginner, since I have around 130 hours of singleplayer on my hands, but now I figured, sure, I'd go for it.

BUT THERE IS A CATCH!

Eventually, my sick leave will end. That means I will probably have only the weekends available to play. I would like to join a server where the community would be okay with that should it come to pass. But that has rather some implications. One of these is food decay. I would not be able to grow my own food, therefore I would need to be able to aquire it through alternate means. Either through hunting, foraging (which is only seasonal) and through trading for it with my services. This be not be an issue however, if the community has taken settlement in a zone where one could leave their crops sitting mature indefinitely.

However to make it worth your while, I would be disposed towards choosing a class that may be disliked but needed by the community as a whole (I suspect tailor is the case or maybe another class for some modded server).

Any takers?

Btw I play on Linux...

I'll take your corny mountains, match them and then set the scenery to spring. Then I'll raise your bet with a pretty amazing sunset with god rays and a plateau.

After 110 hours of playing, I found bees for the first time. To commemorate this occasion, I build a glorious underground apiary to house them. Underground, because its pi***ing down almost all the time, and all that rain is good for crops, but bad for everything else. Even built a "mini" underground tree house for rare trees if you look at my mini map.

So the limit is 39MB, not 2GB? Okay then...

I can no longer post pictures on this forum. Any screenshot I've ever uploaded on this site has always in the single digit megabytes. I don't see how I could have reached this limit so soon.

Well, I'd  start by using an actual mouse instead of a hamster. But other than that, mods are under the purview of the author. Any concerns and failures should be taken up with him personally, not this community. Considering the fact that you are familiar with the very concept of modding in any way, shape or form, I would expect you would know this by now.

And if the game crashes, then it IS a critical error. No other choice than to ditch the mod, especially if the author is no longer active in keeping it up to date.

thats not what happened though, the OP stated 27 hours on a server. Probably did not even see world settings, or options... just hopped on a server, and started basing everything off that experience. 

You would think he never played a survival crafting game before.

You want pain and suffering? Adjust the world settings, crank things up as hard as they can be.

Lets how how you will be full of yourself when you get one-hit killed by the first hostile thing you encounter. And with permadeath, your world will get deleted as soon as it had the chance to fully load in.

I promise you, you will never complain again about having it easy on the default settings.

A glass of milk along with it for projectile diarrhea?

So for Linux, vintage story runs on Mono. And Mono also runs on an ARM cpu.

So then technically speaking, you could run Vintage Story on something like a raspberry Pi?

I don't happen to have one, but has anyone tried?

What an absolute madlad! We need this in vintage story!

(Why isn't the code working?)

It takes some time (IMHO up to ~5-10sec) for the power train to get re-calculated after having some change like adding an axle or enabling the clutch.

Especially on long chains like 70 axles of the rotors tower and the tens of axles from the bottom large wheel to the consumer.

Until then the whole chain is stuck.

You don't understand... its spinning but its acting like its not connected to anything, no milling, no resources being lifted by archimedes screw, nothing. As soon as I touch it it reverts to manual spinning unless I restart the game. If I do that, and the clutch is connected, then it works.

Let's solve the quern problem first. I had once such a problem of bugged quern when placing it on vertical axles line. I.e three blocks high construction: axle from bottom, quern, axle on the top - which is probably illegal as you power only from one side. In your case it was the hopper on the top - also illegal block. Once it is replaced with vertical chute section - it is not illegal anymore.

Solution was to break the quern and make sure the bottom axle is rotating. Then place the quern again.

No, I just figured out that using the clutch on a quern is broken. Every time I use it I have to restart the game because it loses the connection to the axle. And here I was, thinking I could get away with just having one rotor on the mill.

P.S.: Same with the archimedes screw.

Alright, I've been doing some tinkering, and restored the 1:1 gear ratio - same problem with the quern. The problem isn't power because it is not stalling when I run it. Also, the T-shape is working correctly, as the goods are indeed going into the screw below, they aren't just going up the screw. I will try your suggestion and see what happens.

P.S.: What'ya know, the damn thing works now. It seemed to have been bugged in a way that it stalled in spite of showing the spinning animation. What is unusual is that before there wasn't any problem with the T-shape as the stuff went into the screw, it just wasn't pulled out properly, but now there is a problem. I will rework the system to compensate and get back to you.

Nah it regrows, just very slowly.

By the way, if your scythe is set to "trim" and you cut already trimmed grass, it will completely remove it. That way you can get 2 cut grass per per tile. Grass also won't grow in the winter.

You mean you have some Beef with the bears?

Finally somebody who understands.

Bears have gotten me into trouble on more than one occasion. I seem to have anger management issues in vintage story, and the trouble I get into has usually not directly to do with them.

You see, I am appaled everytime I encounter a predator. The insolence of them appearing in my fov drives me into a reckless murderous rage where after killing that particular animal, I go on a mad dash to find more animals to kill with complete abandon, and usually end up getting killed by the environment more than anything else. Hunger, cold, bottomless pits, you name it, I've died to it, all because I happened to see a bear sh*** in the woods and have gone out to kill anything that moves for the outrage!

You could say I'm unBEARable to be around when angry!

Go to Settings > Controls and there should be something that toggles between views. It might be F5?

That doesn't do it, it just toggles between first and third person.

For the job you want performed, use a chute section in place of the hopper. That one does allow for items to fall out of chests into the system

Ooooh, I must have overlooked this particular detail in the guide. Alright now, thanks for that, 1 down, 3 to go.

I have a very simplified powered quern setup but its not working as intended:

The hopper is not collecting items from the crate and depositing them into the quern. If I try to load the hopper directly, it does shuffle items into the quern, but as soon as something grindable goes into the quern, this happens:

The quern is successfully powered and it is spinning, but I tried to put grain into it and its head vanished. It reappears if I try to spin it manually. What is strange is that I am able to do so in the first place despite of it being connected to the mill, and it only grinds if I spin it manually. Cutting the power and restoring it does start the spinning animation, but it does nothing else.

This is the setup I use to shuffle it back up into the quern level. Nothing fancy, just chutes being used. While they successfully move items into the archimedes screw, the screw itself is not pumping items up the shaft and into the crate. It has stalled at its input point. Note the message on top of it, stating that something is in it.

This has created a backlog into the chutes, at least it proves these may be set up correctly.

All I can say is that everything is successfully powered, everything is indeed spinning. The only thing worth telling of note is the fact that I've used a large gear to speed the grind and pump actions. And it doesn't stall while running. So I wonder:

1) Why isn't the hopper taking items from the chest and putting them into the quern?

2) Why isn't the quern grinding by itself when items fall into it, in spite of it being powered AND RUNNING... why does it only grind manually?

3) Why isn't the archimedes screw pumping items into the second chest in spite of it being powered?

4) In the past, I used only the quern without the hoppers and chutes and it worked fine, why won't it work now?

5) Why are big, angry bears attracted to the noise the Archimedes screw makes? Its like world war 8 with the bears everytime I got down from the ledges into the valley below!

This is a bit silly since I don't know how that happened, but my character's arms have disappeared in first person and I don't know how that happened!
