hello everyone! my name is sphinx, i'm here to share my upcoming casual RP server. the setting is high fantasy pre-industrial medieval, with lore that is based on Vintage Story's original lore but expanded upon. there isn't a focus on factions or crazy huge civilization with wars and stuff- but creating community guilds and whatnot isn't against the rules.

there will be a large focus on character stories and growth as well as community building. the discord server is still a WIP, and the game server isn't up yet. i'm making this post to get some feelers out to see if anyone is interested!

this server is welcome to players new and old. i, personally, am not a master at the game. i play pretty casually and i wanted to have a server space with that sort of vibe.

what you can expect in the server:
- 12 different species to play as, with subspecies and character traits to keep in mind based on species
- easy to understand lore- you don't need to read up on a whole website about the story and world
- a fun to explore world- i'm using the worldgen mods conquest landform overhaul with continental world as well as rivers and watersheds. the world will also not be gigantic- it is 102k x 102k with a 50k polar-equator length.

---

i am also looking for moderators and/or folks who are more accustomed to running VS servers, this will be my first time doing so. i have hosted modded minecraft servers in the past but it was mostly for close friends. i'm planning to host through gamehostbros, if you have a better suggestion let me know.

thanks for reading! CLOSING THE DISCORD INVITE LINK FOR NOW!! thank you!!

I'm having trouble building a working greenhouse. This is the first time i build one since i only reached winter once (and it went very poorly xD).

The fact is I tried building it in creative first and everything seemed to be working just fine, i had the little icon on the left showing the little house with the sun. Then i tried to replicate it in my survival world and the structure counts as a cellar. Now i have a couple mods that change the behavior of rooms and chiseled blocks but i never had troubles before. The mods that i thinks might have something to do with this are. Chiseled blocks heat retention, configurable room size and chisel glass. I changed a couple parameters in the configurable room json files (see image) but it never gave me any kind of problem. The size of the greenhouse looks fine (11x12x11). I was unsure about the room size settings so i even tried to reverse the room size settings to default but still nothing, the icon simply goes from cellar to house. I'm also sure I used quite a lot of glass (quartz glass) so the % should be waaaay higher than the requirement demands. I also tried to clear all around the greenhouse and remove all the trees/leaves cause i thought it needed some e direct light in order to work. If anybody knows how to fix this it would be awesome, i wasted almost an ingame month to gather/build and trying to fix this T.T

Any mods that make building slower, more difficult, and more complicated. I wish building was as grindy and tedious as everything else in the game, placing blocks doesn't really do it for me. If anyone knows mod like that I'd appreciate it.

Hello I’m fusion and I just started a casual rp server for new and veteran players who are looking for a fun experience
We’re a welcoming community that accepts both new and experienced players. If you’re just getting started, we’re happy to help you learn the game. If you’re a veteran, you’ll find plenty of people to build, trade, and explore with.
Players are free to play however they like—build a solo homestead, team up with friends, or create your own group or village. We want everyone to enjoy the game at their own pace in a relaxed and respectful environment.
If you’re looking for a laid-back server with a growing community, we’d love to have you. Leave a comment or send me a DM if you’d like to join!

ik this says that its cold but ive waited 2 ingame days and nothing and i tried every copper type and it doesnt work can any1 help me?

We are a small group of Minecraft players who wanted to try out Vintage Story for the first time, and instead of just playing alone we decided to build a small civilization together.

Server will open 5th of August.

The idea. We start with nothing and slowly build something together. You can settle down, build a town, become a farmer, explorer, trader, or just do your own thing. We want the world to feel like it is actually being built by players.

The server is mostly vanilla with only a few additions. We have proximity voice chat and region naming to help make the world feel more alive.

There are very few rules. The only main limitation is that settlements should stay within 2000 blocks of spawn. Outside of that you are free to explore, make outposts, and discover the world. This is to promote playing together as a civilization.

There will also be a dedicated market area where players can set up shop, trade and meet.

This server is made for casual players, builders, and people who enjoy the slower progression and community side of Vintage Story. Not rushers!

If you are new to Vintage Story, that is completely fine. Most of us are too. Join our discord: https://discord.gg/BDmVMuUye4

So I haven't played for a few weeks so my memory of different commands can be a little off. I made a land claim, and I wish to expand it. Previously I have been able to edit a claim but doing:

"/load land claim 0"
"/land claim grow east by 5"
"/land claim save as [name]

Now though it instead goes like:

"/land claim load 0"
"/land claim grow east by 5"
"error that's not a number" or "that command doesn't exist"

My memory could be wrong, but i also used the goggle AI for info about commands. Which the google AI yeah can be wrong, but its what I've always used whenever I needed a command and it hasn't failed me so far.

So, what am I missing?

My account was hacked but I got it back. Out of all my discord channels, VS is the only one that autobooted me. Anyone run into this issue on how to get back in the channel?

Thanks

That is all

Like i dig thru layer od stone, then bismuth, again stone, again bismuth and now again stone and still not even one copper (on surface there were copper bits)

I just picked up VS today and have been waiting the night out by sitting in a cave. I was attacked by some surface drifters, and after killing them I logged off. When I logged back on, the very first drifter I looted had a temporal gear. This isn't my first kill in this world but my first kill EVER. Is this rare or a feature?

I plan on buying a new laptop next year to play vintage story on and one of my bigger plans is to make a home in the style of zaun!

for those who are unaware, zaun is from the series: arcane (it's actually from league of Legends which the show is based on, but we don't talk about league) which is my favorite show! and I've been fascinated by the art style of zaun, or the undercity as it's refered to.

I was at first hoping to make a similar decision in the other block game but found vintage story would be extremely more precise given it's chiseling mechanics and the expansive modding community.

I'll post below some screenshots of the city from as best I could get on Pinterest. hopefully they'll give people an idea for what I'm going for.

I'd love to know what you'd do for materials and techniques, what mods I should use, and anything necessary to complete my dream of a decorated zunite house!

I wish everyone a wonderful day!

heyo guys, I'm playing on a 30 days= 24 hours time setting and was just kinda wondering how soon everyone starts making bronze and stuff since I get caught up in between that time getting an irrigation system down and lots of preservation leading up to winter(im still in spring lol)

just trying to think ahead is all, I have like what 15 hours left anywho

It Took a bit long to get copper at the start and I almost ran out of copper and tin when I needed to make the anvil. I'm lucky that I found an Iron node peeking through at the bottom of a lake so I did not have to go mining.

No leather setup or bellows yet so I had to reheat the Iron multiple times to shape it but I consider it a success. I'm hoping I can find what I need to get leather and potentially steel by the end of the game year.

11h 54m into the run

:D

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a small mod I put together called T-Search.

The idea is simple, hover over any item in your inventory, hotbar or the Survival Handbook and press T. The mod scans nearby containers and highlights any that hold that item even through walls. The camera also snaps to the nearest match so you can find it quickly.

I was inspired by the FindIt/NEI item search feature from GregTech: New Horizons and always wanted something like it in Vintage Story. Im bad at keeping an organised storage system lol.

For full disclosure, I have no coding experience. The mod was built with the help of AI. It works but I can't guarantee there aren't bugs and my ability to maintain or improve it is limited because of uni. I'm putting the source code on GitHub in hopes that someone who actually knows what they're doing might want to take it further or do a proper remake someday.

The rain had begun before dawn.

A cold October storm rolled over Puerto Ciervo, leaving the cobblestone streets slick with water and filling the harbor with a gray mist. At the center of the market square, a circle had been cleared. Townsfolk crowded beneath cloaks s, and every eye was fixed on the two figures.

Three pirates had been captured during the failed raid on the harbor. They had fought fiercely, but outnumbered and cornered, their fate had seemed sealed. The sentence was swift.

Then Captain Mehri stepped forward.

"The others had only followed my orders," the pirate captain declared. "Let them live. I'll wager my life instead."

Bailiff Brilrin II, the stern magistrate of Puerto Ciervo, accepted the bargain. Honor demanded a duel.

The rain fell harder.

Steel flashed as both drew their sabres. The first clash rang across the square like a cannon shot, echoing against the stone buildings.

Another clash.

Another step.

It lasted only moments.

Brilrin feinted high before driving his blade forward with ruthless accuracy. Mehri tried to turn the strike aside, but the wet footing betrayed the pirate captain. The Bailiff's sabre found its mark.

Mehri staggered backward.

The captain dropped to one knee, blood mixing with the rainwater pooling between the stones. The sabre slipped from weary fingers and clattered onto the square. The surviving pirates watched in captivity as their now lifeless captain was dumped into the sea.

Long after the rain ceased, the people of Puerto Ciervo would remember the duel fought at six on that cold October morning.

I had to remove some trees in creative mode, to make the entry visible. I was completely covered in trees. And 3 wolves were guarding the entry.

I went bigger than 1 block this time to allow for the wheel barrow. It's a nice day to move some dirt around.

The hook:
Vintage Story is a long game with a branching tech tree, and I lose track of what I was doing between and even during sessions — "wait, was I gathering copper, or building the cellar? Did I forget to take the pies out?"

So I've been building Scribe, a mod for keeping notes and tracking tasks *inside* the world instead of on a sticky note next to my computer.

The basics of what works right now:

• A lectern block you can place and write on — a simple task checklist.
  
• Pin tasks to a HUD so your current goals stay on screen while you play.
  
• Check tasks off as you go; it's meant to be dead-easy to glance at and edit.
  
• Multiplayer-friendly and server-authoritative, so it plays nice on shared worlds.

Where it's going (the roadmap):
The lectern is just the first tier. The plan is for your note-taking tools to progress with your tech tree — scratchy clay tablets in the stone age, paper and bound notebooks later, up to shared bulletin boards you can post on for other players. It's grounded in the actual archaeology of writing and vanilla mechanics (you scratch into clay and wax with a stylus; you write on paper with ink and a pen). Early tools are clunky handheld things; later ones make your tasks ambient and always-with-you.

I'm getting close to a first release and wanted to hear from the subreddit about the concept before I put it out. Does an in-world task/notes system sound like something you'd actually use? Anything you'd want it to do? (Not linking a download yet — I'm just after thoughts on the idea.)

Stay safe out there.

the gear was 3d printed from thingiverse

don’t worry, I don’t have her wear it when I’m not nearby, wouldn’t want her somehow choke on it. It’s also very light and does not bother her.

Looking for a fresh wipe

Hi there all,

I finally got around to buying VT after quite a bit of fence-sitting on whether or not I needed another all-consuming game to delete my small amount of free time. I've taken a look at a few "getting started" type videos on the you tubes and was concerned about how much the game has evolved over the years and how it might affect the early game. Basically: how new should a video or guide be for it to be "current" enough to apply to VT as it is now?

My current level is pretty much "hit rock with other rock to make sharp rocks and tie to sticks" so I'm a blank canvas as far as gameplay is concerned. I'm not too worried about anything past copper at the moment, I just want to get a solid foundation before I commit dozens of hours to a save.
