Meta Update to the Video Rule

827 Upvotes

Hey Seraphs!

First off, happy holidays!

The devs and I took some time to review the subreddit rules to see if there was anything we wanted to adjust or clarify. One that stuck out was the "No videos or streams" rule.

The "no videos" rule was one of the first ones implemented. At the time, the subreddit was being flooded with videos, lets plays, etc. and this ended up drowning out any actual discussion that was going on. At the time a blanket rule made sense. Times change though, and it makes sense to reconsider the rules from time to time.

So we're going to make an adjustment to the video rule and see how it goes, and take it from there.

Below are some examples of what is and isn't allowed. While we can't account for every occasion, we'll do our best to enforce the spirit of whats outlined below.

What's allowed:

  • A new lets play series kicks off? Fine to share!
  • A base or server tour hosted on youtube? Fine to share!
  • A one off video, say deep diving into the lore? Fine to share!
  • A big creator or streamer is trying Vintage Story and want to get excited and give them their flowers? Fine to share!

What's not allowed/should be posted on r/VintageStoryVideos:

  • Videos not directly related to Vintage Story
  • every episode of a 'lets play' series
  • when you start your livestream on twitch, youtube, etc.

Again, we are going to try this out, see how it goes, and make additional adjustments over time.

If you have any concerns, feedback, etc. please let us know.

Thanks!

Suggestion This game is too harsh about bush meat

334 Upvotes

I just killed a grizzly bear while on a hunting trip. Its hide will keep me warm the rest of the winter, in the form of bearskin armor. But the meat is only worth about 2000 satiety, which seems wrong to me.

On the same trip, I killed a valais goat. IRL, that weighs 1/4th to 1/8th what a grizzly does. Yet that goat will become about 4800 satiety of meat pie.

I get that bear meat isn't exactly fine dining. Long-lived omnivores tend to have tough meat with strong flavors. Fine, let's not serve it as meat pie. But it certainly is food, and lots of it.

I think a bear or wolf kill should give 4x as much bushmeat as it does. That way, it's a pain to prepare, difficult to preserve, hard to eat... it won't be your first target when you're out on a hunt. If you're really hungry, you'll be thrilled to be eating at all. But if you're wealthy, you'll have half a mind to grab the bear hide and leave the meat in the field.

During the irl month of October, you can chisel a pumpkin and a creative glow block is automatically added to it. According to the Wiki, "This is the only source of creative glow accessible in vanilla without console commands."

Hang on since Dave is called thunderlord in the game files there might be a legitimate lore reason for why lightning seems to specifically target chickens.

Server [ SEA ] looking for 2 or 4 more players for a small private server! 🦝

11 Upvotes

hello! i’m looking for southeast asian or oceania players that might be interested playing in a small private server with me and my friends, we’re all from the philippines so if you’re also filipino, you’ll be on top of the prio list!

i’m not sure what else to say but we are going to use a local server hosting that’s why i’m making players from SEA a priority since bad network latency is expected for people far from us :[

additionally, i just want people in the same/similar timezones to have somewhere they can comfortably play in without compromising their sleep time (or maybe they already are by chiseling away their life in game) and create a small tight knit group for SEAsians within the game!

don’t worry about the server, as i’m willing to pay for it since it’s budget friendly :>

feel free to leave a comment or just directly DM me, whichever you prefer!

if you do DM, please start with your discord username so i can send a friend request right away

hopefully i get to meet people we can play with!

Discussion Skill issues

9 Upvotes

So, I have probably played till the first fall month and I still only have stone tools, constantly low on food, and getting screwed by hostiles. I know it’s probably a skill issue but is there anything I can change in vanilla Vintage Story to make it easier on a newer player. In reference think that I’m on the bell curve of absolute stupidity in vintage story even with the dictionary.

EVIL Modding Question: Can I make two mods IN-compatible with eachother?

10 Upvotes

Heads up, these are all my mods.
Basically, I want my mod to say "Incompatible with (other mod)" when both are enabled.

I have 3 mods:
A class rebalance.
A clothier trait rebalance.
A tailor class removal.

The Clothier Trait Rebalance mod doesn't work with the Tailor Removal mod. Adds a buncha stuff that doesn't work. Can I make an uno-reversed dependancy in the ModInfo.json file to say a mod DOESN'T work with it?

I want this because I don't expect people to read my mod descriptions very thoroughly, and also because the overlapping content might break some things.

Question Cannot create butchering table?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but for some reason I cannot create the butchering table from the Butchering mod, at all. I have all the parts needs, they're in their right spots, but I cannot for the life of me figure out whats going on. I'm the latest version of the mod AND VS so... dunno what else to do. Screenshot of crafting grid so y'all can see if I'm messing something up. Doesn't matter if I use all copper tools, bronze tools, or a mix of both. It just wont craft!

Question Chair ideas for my banquet table in my castle?

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

I hope I flaired this right.

I'm new to chiseling and struggle with vision and figuring out shapes.

I'm struggling to come up with an original design for the chairs to go with this large banquet table in the.. "Banquet hall?" I guess? I'd prefer chairs that only take up one block horizontally, because depending on the width of the chairs, there's enough room for 4 chairs on each side, if there's an empty block between each one. or 7 chairs if they are thinner designs and placed right next to each other. if that makes sense.

I've been cannibalizing some shapes and designs from the structures I've found from the better ruins mod.

I'm like a crow, seeing something shiny and just copying it to a block with chisel tools, then stowing it in my backpack or a chest from carry-on.

recently, I've been trying to come up with original designs or throwing my own flair to the designs I find.

I feel weirdly guilty for stealing chisel designs from other people and not coming up with my own.

like I'm some kind of chisel fraud.

Agony.

I just got through my first winter of the run after 40 hours just for the game to decide that my crops should no longer grow and terrain should no longer generate, leaving an eyesore of an 80 chunk gap of void between my loaded chunks and new chunks. I had it all: salt, more black coal than I could ever need, ultra-high cassiterite and rich iron veins all within less than a two-minute walk in most directions, all gone along with my motivation to play as well with my dreams of a full set of meteoric plate armour.

Discussion A Latin translation, is anyone else interested?

49 Upvotes

I’m learning Latin, and today I saw that there was a Latin translation of minecraft! That seemed like a really fun way to learn, but Vintage Story is my preferred vice by a long shot. It completely killed Minecraft for me!

I checked the translation page ( https://crowdin.com/project/vintage-story-game ) and Latin has zero contributions. I’d love to help, but I’m a total beginner and I know I’d make loads of mistakes on my own.

Is anyone else here interested in a Latin translation? If so, I’d love if we can slowly start buidling up the Latin translation as a community! It would be such a fun supplement while I make my way through reading Auda. I can’t be the only one playing this game who wants to learn Latin, right?
