Here is the view of my newly renovated lakeside apartment on the server. I dare say I may be the most skilled builder around! And it only took me 2 days to make!

VS is pretty comfy, but it gets boring quite quickly and I'm too much of an autistic neet to play with other people

>>1107913 >and I'm too much of an autistic neet to play with other people Well you're in luck, because everyone here is exactly the same. That's for who this game was made for, after all.

>>1107933 I will go and check the server when I'm drunk enough, some day

Okay based is this our migrant thread now

>>1108167 Paste the link to everyone on the server when you're on. This place is pretty fast, I hope the thread doesn't die when I'm asleep.

>>1108646 I did that but I guess be prepared for a backup solution just in case.

>>1107554 I prefer terrafirmacraft plus but that's because of personal preference and tfc+ having more content

>>1107554 hey this is just minecraft? where is the chicken jockey?

I was forced to say NIGGER in chat to play in this server.

>>1107554 Dischuck won. /vm/ (4chan) has fallen...

>these posts Yep, definitely a halfchan thread Anyway, isn't this game just "Minecraft, with even more fucking grinding"? Why is it better than it? That's not a rhetorical question, it's not difficult to be better than modern MC

Sell me on this game. Everything I've seen of it just seems tedious and bad. <godawful character models mirroring the uncanniness of minecraft blender animations with even worse art direction and midi instruments for character voices <everything from tool crafting to building a home is ten times more tedious and involved than minecraft <minecraft hunger mechanics but worse <shoehorned in eldritch horror reality bend autism <the people trying to sell it are sharty/halfchan subhumans using ainigger images and soyjaks

>>1119158 >godawful character models cannot refute that, honestly the worst part of this game. >everything is 10 times more tedious Eh, more like 5 times. It takes longer to do things, but resources are more condensed. >hunger mechanics but worse, If you hate minecraft hunger mechanics your not going to like this game, But harvesting food is a bit more interesting since 1 animal can provide more then 1 meal. >Eldritch horror stuff, Aww, I like that part, the monster designs are actually decent compared to the normal characters and work with the artstyle. You could always just turn that off if you want a simple wilderness survival sim. >The creators, Eh, never followed the drama, I can respect their dedication to maintaining their own platform instead of selling through steam. Aside from that I have no opinion of them.

>>1119072 Honestly, I like the game. It's far more immersive, as much as that is worth. You have to actually grind stone and hammer ironworks. Also chiselling. I did not scroll up. Now I have noticed what you meant. 4niggers need to behave

>>1119158 >>1119072 It's literally just Minecraft, but better. In fact, mechanically it shares little with MC beyond both being blockgames. I won't lie to you and say that VS isn't grindy as shit, but the grind pays off massively via the game's progression tiers. If you're into autistic survival games, or TFC, you will like this game. Mechanics such as prospecting, metallurgy, forging, etc. allow the progression to actually feel meaningful beyond 'oh cool I found iron within literally 10 minutes of playtime' a la Mineshit. Chiselling greatly expands upon building/ art within the game, and literally adds another dimension to buildfaggotry. Hunger and seasons actually force you to plan ahead for food instead of just stockpiling a dozen stacks of bread a la Mineshit, and combat actually demands skill. This game isn't for everyone. It's filtered plenty of anons. >shoehorned in eldritch horror reality bend autism You can ignore 90% of the loreshit (blame troons) within the game, asides from rifts/ storms and temporal stability. >the people trying to sell it are sharty/halfchan subhumans using ainigger images and soyjaks The /vm/ VS community is genuinely one of the only communities left on 4chan that has managed to avoid metagroup and discord faggotry. There's one lolcow nigger here (doesn't even play on the server), but that's it.

>>1119599 Also, here's a pic to show how autistic you can get with the chisel mechanic.

I did all the story content and I was not impressed after having to walk for an hour real time to go fight the awful flying chicken boss in tetanus tower. I hope future updates focus more on mechanical depth.

I tried to play this game but then hit a wall of living in a hobo shack with a few copper tools and unable to find anymore surface copper.

>>1119768 You need to prospect and look for tin or zinc and bismuth deposits to get to bronze tools and from there just jump straight to iron. Bronze is fucking annoying to make.

>>1120397 The problem is I didn't even have enough copper to make an anvil, so I went all over my immediate area looking for more copper, should I really just start digging down or what, I have no concept of how to progress.

>>1120444 Copper shouldn't be hard to find, shit is everywhere. Just look at the ground for small copper rocks and once you find them start digging directly under them because there's gonna be a shallow copper deposit underneath. Make a pickaxe first, then hammer and then the anvil, in that order. You need a pickaxe to mine deposits and a hammer to break the ore. Getting an anvil after that is piss easy.

>>1120494 Maybe it's a skill issue on my part but believe me when I say I looked

>>1120552 I mean, the only thing I can tell you is to look harder. It should be there, unless you're getting super trolled by terrain generation but that's unlikely. Copper doesn't have any geological prerequisites to spawn here. It can be pretty pretty hard to spot if you don't know what to look for. If you're REALLY desperate, make a wooden pan and start panning sand and gravel. The odds of getting a piece of copper are 1 in 6.67, so you will rope yourself before you get 180 pieces required for an anvil that way, but if you really need copper then that's an option.

>>1120444 You can pan for copper in sand and gravel if you're really desperate. Also remember to mark any sites where you found copper on the ground, since that usually means there is a copper vein nearby just below, for later when you get your first pick.

>>1107554 Where can I download this gem?

>>1119072 If you enjoy watching webm related and being comfy, then the game is cool. That's just it. Minecraft with a lot more depth in interacting with the world. Combat is ass tho. I recommend getting a bunch of mods to enhance your experience further. I personally like rustbound mage as I'm an autist for anything related to wizardry and it's the only game to make me actually feel like I'm working for my magic and doing utility stuff with it (even though it's underpowered as fuck).

>>1119158 The food mechanic is far more interesting imo, with MC you get 3 wheat seeds and you're good for the rest of the game, if you want to breed animals for food you can do that too, but there's really no need. With VS varied food makes you stronger & the spoilage means you need to make a pantry, which I like. I prefer the survival/homesteading aspect of VS more than the raiding/adventuring MC really wants you to do. It helps that there's not 3 villages within render distance of my house, looking ugly and giving me mid-tier items within 5 minutes. >>1121498 https://www.vintagestory.at/, I hear it's easy to pirate if you don't want to buy it.

>>1121498 Figured it out, the linux package manager has vintage story, and you can get the crack from cs.rin.ru

I LOVE PEAT!!!

>>1119599 spamming spears isn't skillful doe

>>1120444 Surface copper indicates that there is a copper deposit directly below it. You should mark every single surface copper deposit you find on your map so that when you get a copper pickaxe and hammer you can go back and dig it out.

Posting this (hopefully up to date) Borea to Sahara translocator line chart so it doesn't get lost due to 4chins shitting itself.

Hanging out on the serb

>>1119158 You have reading problems. Sorry, that's not my field. My work assumes a certain level of literacy.

>>1119230 But enough about 4chan, >>1119599 I will commend you for being honest, though I can't say this exactly sells the game.

>>1107554 Finally I found the thread :D

>>1107554 SO THIS IS WHERE THE 4CHAN RAPEFUGES WENT TO?

>>1128651 How's it been duca?

>>1128718 soup

>>1121602 Food needs to be nerfed Maybe pests and shit

Are we still alive?

>>1129746 no, it's over

I've watching a guy play this, but I'm not autistic enough to sink time into it myself. It's cool to see what others do with it though. Chiseling allows a lot of interesting creations. Still, it desperately needs more enemy variety from what I've seen. Wildlife is a bit lacking as well. Did they ever add birds? There is some disconnect between what they'd made annoying realistic thus time-consuming VS what remains very gamey.

>>1129949 Where does the portal go to

>>1129996 Your mother's pussy. A vast and open world of horror.

I bought the game last week, is it normal to die from hunger so often at the beginning?

>>1130287 Which class did you pick

>>1130287 hunger shouldn't really be an issue in the beginning if you've spawned somewhere with lots of berry bushes if you're struggling you can also cook cattail roots and eat them

>>1131421 I wonder what my grave looks like

i have weak mental and no willpower is there an option to disable console commands yet? i cant not cheat when something goes wrong. i like minecraft for having this option and hate everything else about it

>>1131512 Play MP so you're not inclined to cheat and instead become a braingenius mechanics exploiter >>1131421 That got finished the week after now jannies are building an aqueduct

>fell off mount ram and lost half a week of xp yeah I'm okay for now

>>1131509 It's got the trans flag on it.

>>1131994 Did you put ackrinus on it?

Why do plank blocks stack to 32 but slabs stack to 64?

Posting a link to sister threads. Idk with form the refugees will use but I like 8kun most. https://8kun.top/vmg/res/1.html https://www.soyjak.st/mtv/thread/88189.html https://8chan.moe/v/res/1107554.html

>>1131421 6 quadrillion anons died on the 15/04 attack on 4chins...

>>1132489 I can finally die in peace

dafuq is wrong with this version of the game? every map I try to play on gets spammed by those ugly mini-deserts.

/vm/ thread >https://8chan.moe/vm/res/2.html

This is the last post on 4/vm/ board.

>reply count >site quality I think we should agree that this thread or at least, 8chan.moe is the new home of vm for the time being

>>1133640 Why a /vm/ board in this place?

>>1133640 >>1133742 Yeah I don't think there's a need for that in this place, the thread has stayed alive and well for like 2 days now. Unless you want a super specific server only thread I guess? We're already split across like 4 chans at this point.

>>1133773 8chan is slow enough. If 4chan is truly dead I see the need for some shit. I think for now we can just stay here

>>1107554 why this game is so hard? any tips on how to play it?

>>1129981 I think birds would fit the niche of being hunted by the Malefactor's sling very well, just like bunnies. That's something I would like to see. But on the other hand, food is already relatively easy to come by, I wouldn't want to make it even easier. Maybe we should start seeing a degradation on the amount of meat acquired from a hunt based on the weapon used?

>>1133821 It plays literally just like terrafirmacraft. Plus read the wiki

>>1133206 Flat plains of whatever biome are nice. There's so much hills to traverse over that you want a teleport device to get by. >>1133821 The game is slow burn learning process. Use H on items or read the progression guide.

>>1133821 Playing it multiplayer makes it easier, especially near towns. Single player or away from a town, night one priority is get light. Speed-run a knife, fire-starter, axe, firewood, then torch. Once you have a torch, focus on baskets. Get 4 baskets for more inv space. Then focus on food. Early game, esp single player, berries and veggies are easiest. Collect bushes and seeds if you can. Once you get good at spotting food, it gets easy. Make a temp shelter and some baskets to store seeds. Especially flax seeds. For hunting, get 3-4 flint spears. Lure wolves to water and kite them while throwing spears in the water. Always be on the lookout for hostile wildlife. Until you are good at spear kiting, just run like hell if they chase you. When you have early game downtime, work on pottery. In urban server areas, you get copper by panning. Otherwise I find it faster with surface nodes while running around. Mark where you found surface nodes, there is always a deposit right under it. This advice should take you to iron age.

>>1133821 It's not really that hard, you just have to kinda know your place in the food chain. You are not the king of this world. Stay on your toes in forests because bears and wolves are stronger than you. Bunker down for the night, especially if rift activity is above calm. Unlit caves are enemy territory, do not go there or you will shit yourself. Try to keep a balanced diet as satisfying different elements of it will give you extra hit points. Try to increase your inventory size as fast as possible. Anyway, there's too much shit to explain. You just have to take it in slowly piece by piece and eventually you'll get comfortable.

>>1108955 Still waiting on the hell stuff. Or even just the spider nests dunk talked about.

>>1133940 >You are not the king of this world. >anon when he gets full steel plate and a steel falx Vintage story does a pretty good job of going from grug hiding in a dirt shitbox to becoming the thing that goes bump in the night.

>>1119158 You can mine big resource deposits dry, plus can't afk too much i guess

>>1133773 Can you link them?

>>1133742 >>1133773 Fair enough. I guess it's there just in case this one prunes.

>>1134083 Scroll like 3 posts higher

before downtime I lagged under sahara

Best thread on the chan

>>1134330 Vm vintage story has had so much oc lately. It is my fav breab since the old school 4chan days. I do miss 2011 global domination threads

>>1107554 Will there be able plans to keep a /vs/ thread going over on ourchan as well?

>>1134808 any plans* Only reason why I ask is that the /v/ board over there is basically empty so /vs/ would have almost free reign over the board. Also, just from experience, the site itself seems to have a bit more qol features to it than 8chan does.

>>1134083 There's one on soyjak and one on 8kun, plus this place, the /vm/ thread and 4chan whenever it comes back. >>1134808 You need to ask proper server jannies, I just made the thread because I could and there wasn't one yet. I feel like keeping a thread on a dead chan/board would be pointless, we need new people playing.

>>1134808 I am very much for this thread being on 8chan. A lot less niggers. 8chan fits the vm vintage story ideal more than the nuchan shit. We do not have to constantly defend against reddit and discord tards here.

>>1129981 Depending on what version you've been watching your prayers may have been answered. The 1.20 patch added like 3 new enemies or something. To be honest I haven't played 1.20 yet so I don't know any more than that.

1.20 fucked the spawning up. Pro tip: /tp yourself to some crazy coordinates to start somewhere more exciting.

>>1107554 has the game managed somehow to not get incredibly boring in single player?

>>1130287 Driggers don't want you to know this, but berry bushes are free, you can just take them.

>>1138294 you have fun by playing videos or audio while playing, this is like euro truck simulator, but instead of trucks, it's copper age. >>1138745 i started picking all the bushes, kudzu, grapevines as soon as i spawn. shit's cash, you get a day 0 farm.

>>1139015 What is over exactly my negroid?

>>1139238 Server was down for 1 minute.

>>1139474 Oh sorry no one posted but there are like 4 or 5 restarts daily same time everytime catches someone off guard always

>>1138054 If solo just modify spawn conditions

The basement of my in progress castle keep. Still looking pretty mediocre overall but I'm trying to finish all the major things on each level to make it livable before moving to the next, detailing will come later.

starting a new barn build in borea for all 12 types of goats, gotta catch em all... because 'tism. >>1141046 nice, what kind of ashlar are those corners? looks good.

>>1141594 >nice, what kind of ashlar are those corners? looks good. Thanks, they're cracked granite ashlar. I was considering using the andesite version but I didn't like the contrast.

>>1141833 can you craft that in suplayer or is it gm2'ed in?

>>1141897 I'm in singleplayer, the better ruins mod adds blueprints for various blocks like that that are impossible to gather in decent numbers and in other instances make certain existing recipes more efficient. You can find the blueprints in just about any ruin with a storage container.

tyrone i need tanning racks to scrape scrape scrape scrape

>>1138006 The crawling niggas make me shit my pants because they can sometimes crawl out of caves in the day and give me a heart attack. The bowtorn are fucking ass and exist only to piss you off because they're ranged and they don't run off like driggers do once daylight comes in.

>>1142392 We need a carpentry/lumber mill system with water wheels plz and thank you

Sup, its ya N'wah, Dagoth. I wish I could play on the serb more often but my internet fuarrking sucks :( ive been enjoying the new update, heres a few pictures of Roma, my base in my singleplayer 1.20 world im working on getting steel first time and finishing the games story! happy to see OG lives on

jannie I demand a refund, precisely 62 blocks of high fertility soil got spirited away during a server restart due to my crime of daring to hold a stack

:)

>>1140326 how?

>>1145002 you can regen the terrain via some server commands, but fucking off to somewhere else is also always an option

>>1145002 When setting up a world, you can change forestation, world height/terrain gen, ocean/land coverage, spawn temp, world temp, equator distance, and world humidity.

>>1143165 It looks good!

>>1119072 >>1119158 Most of it is just taste. If you enjoy the survival and gradual progress then you'll like it, if not then you won't. I'd say the two main problems it has are that the combat isn't good and more importantly that once you get to the "end"game you still don't have that many tools to reduce the simple grindy parts. I haven't played in a while but I think that in vanilla helve hammers can't even do anything besides plates, blooms, and bars. And that's one of the biggest grind reducers you unlock in the entire game. I'd recommend trying it out if you're interested. If you don't like it then drop it, but keep it in the back of your mind for when it gets future updates. It is supposed to get more advanced endgame content eventually. >>1120552 Yeah, it's definitely a skill issue. You need to pay attention to the little rocks you find on the ground everywhere you go. Finding copper ones isn't uncommon, and wherever you find copper rocks on the surface there'll be some copper ore a little underneath it.

The aqueduct turned out okay. I'm gunna connect it to the sewers under sahara

>>1153723 Wow, nice!

>>1158612 Vs is a whole different game when you live in a city. Never worry about driggers or food. Hardly worry about resources. It is fun being in a new but heavily populated city when everyone is starving though.

I'm too lazy to actually chisel it into a continuous arc so this is the best I think my spiral staircase is gonna get

>>1163703 We need a better way to make arches. They are beautiful when done right but I almost never have the time to make really good ones. Even if I use a mod to copy/paste shit. I guess beams can be used for kinda easy ones but chisel works are better than any beams or clutter

>>1143165 I love how sandstone looks against lush grass in this games. Your shit looks like a roman outpost.

Is this game good for nomadic murderhobo exploration, looking for cool ruins and worldgen and shit

>>1164875 Vanilla ruins kinda suck, but the better ruins mod has some pretty sick stuff, both aboveground and underground.

>>1164909 we need that mod

>>1164875 It is good for that. Solo you need better ruins. OG has enough ruins and tl netowrks that you can do this normal. Especoally with the new tl network from sahara to hyperborea

>>1164287 tyty, roman outpost was the goal. heres some old pics of the base. i love base timelines >>1163703 looks nice >>1153723 aqueducts are SOVL. i wish VS had the aqueduct / water mechanics from TerraFirmaCraft >>1164875 seconding the better ruins mod, id say its one of the best mods for VS. however, there are a couple of ruins added by the mod that are not lore friendly (like the industrial mining facility) i wish there were better underground ruins. maybe add some large city like ruins with translocators that take you to other large ruins. that way you could dungeon hop for the best loot rather than jumping in caves hoping to find anything

>>1168209 Short walls are comfy. Walls+lights+roads keep driggers and wolves away

>>1107892 Memes aside. Csam, eulen, bek, mellow, ederet, and dove are some of the server’s best builders imo.

made kidney bean sourdough off a whim, didn't even cuck to a recipe just made it cuz it sounded good. would I make a good tradwife? on a related note jannies also made some nice asian-style soup the other day.... in other news we have some visitors in 'Borea and one is building something! very exciting. I am headed to sahara down the elkway myself rn. was looking for andesite and chalk sands but must have missed it so i might as well make the full trip. Also it seems like we have a newfren! tomarrow if anyone is on i might just hold an easter service at the new borean church!

I'll probably be on in the morning sometime

so whats the deal with this big fuckoff bridge if the tranny goes nowhere??? im lost

ok nvm found it, had an old mark.

finally made it to desert gonna pass out tho

Does Combat Overhaul mod make the game easier or no?

>>1170385 its a meme mod dont bother with it

>>1170773 but what makes it a meme mod? qrd? I know I hate Bullseye because it basically nerfs all ranged (the only acceptable combat) by annihilating its shots per second and makes dealing with anything that much worse. I haven't tried it recently, but I imagine having iron and steel spears doesn't exonerate it, same goes for lead sling shot (especially since slings are fucking dogshit in vanilla now)
