100 Days in Vintage Story: Skyblock Challenge

[@abxx5]

The nature of humanity is making Skyblocks out of survival games

[@Oscillascape]

@@abxx5 it's a natural evolution. God created humans, humans created Skyblock 🙃

[@CrazyBeardedGamer]

We need ark survival skyblock

[@Starlok007]

If it can run things, it will run Doom, if it can play things, it will play Bad Apple, and if it's a survival game, it will have skyblock

[@Pultreeman]

Didn't think vintage story skyblock whuld work. But...apparently it can

[@Oscillascape]

It takes a lot of tinkering around, but yes it can work. This video is a kind of proof of concept.

[@Oscillascape]

@@icedelectriced my point was to show that there is a logical baseline progression that can be followed, and I think I achieved that!

[@DejFidOFF1]

Yes. Even Skyblock server is running :) We pushing limits of Vintage Story to the sky.

@@DejFidOFF1 how did you guys generate those spherical islands, is that something that you just generate with creative?

@@Oscillascape generate creative map 25000x25000, place about 2500 schematics of island, and removing "creative" land peace by peace (1000x1000) blocks. It take me about 150-200hours. Everything is in creative.

[@Daniel-uo5lm]

In the beginning of the video, preferably during the setup and explanation I'd love to have seen a summary of what the starter chest contains. It kinda feels weird getting introduced to the items inside the chest if the player is like: "To break the blocks I used the copper pickaxe from the starter chest." "I was getting hungry, so I just grabed the food from the starter chest." "I also used the copper hammer privided by the starter chest." I'm like what else? at 7:12 I got the fist glimpse of one of the chests. Players want to see and know the entire circumstances of a challenge video from the beginning, rather than being introduced to them one slice at a time. Other than that, this was a really enjoyable video once again!

[@Oscillascape]

@@Daniel-uo5lm fair enough. The starter chest was basically the same as the ones in the skyblock maps on the Vintage Story mod page. I will add it to the description of the video.

[@Oscillascape]

Good eye finding the Easter egg in the thumbnail! Thanks for the kind words. I know some people criticize that this was all mods and nothing to do with base games, but my point was to show that there is a logical progression based way to do Skyblock in Vintage Story. It's probably not even the best way to do it, it's just a way that I came up with. Looking forward to your new video!

@@shinrakishitani1079 I will be stealing this idea 💡

[@impurityashes8205]

Someone should make an animated video of "what would skyblock look like in real life." How big would the island have to be in order to reasonably house an ecosystem suitable for "end game human society?" What would the weather be like with no ocean? If the planet is no longer a spinning ball of earth, would the winds exist, what about no magnetic fields? How many feet of soil is actually required in order for trees to grow strong and healthy? If the only requirements for skyblock is that the end game can be reached, what even would the ecosystem have to be in order to sustain human development? What is the ratio of human innovation? How many people have to live off the land in order to reach the end game in a timely fashion? Would there be birds and worms and insects galore. What actually is the most space efficient ecosystem that is capable of producing all the resources necessary for healthy humans? How would we get iron or bronze or copper etc? Would we have to form hypercomplex systems for drawing out these materials from the soil, is there even a way to do so without the prerequisites being hyper industrialized equipment?

[@Oscillascape]

@@impurityashes8205 did you take a big bong rip before typing this? Actually this would make a cool concept for a sci-fi novel. I always wanted to write one, maybe this will be my concept 😎

Love how the start of the playthrough is the opposite of the minecraft one. Minecraft wants you to avoid making obsidian, meanwhile here its vital to make obsidian.

[@Oscillascape]

Minecraft's obsidian is very hard to work with, that's for sure!

[@BiggestBrother]

you can make your farmland two blocks wide to be more space efficient as each block only needs to be touching one thing of water. an even more efficient design would be to place a water block with two blocks of farmland in each direction then another water block at the end and just repeat that over and over.

[@Oscillascape]

[@nine_lives5597]

ah! I think i know what happened with the door. It can be one of two things. I also use the autopanning mod and sometimes it will "Miss" and right click any right-clickable object within its range. Doesnt seem to be a feature, just a bug. This will happen more frequently during alt-tabbing or while switching between hotbar slots. The other thing it could be is theres a setting in Dana's Tweaks that allows drifters to open doors. Im not sure if its set on or off by default, but if you do use dana's tweaks it is possible that the setting was turned on.

[@Oscillascape]

@@nine_lives5597 it wasn't the dana tweaks, I checked to make sure the feature was off. Most likely auto planner clicking on the door 🤣

[@Sami_LessVODS]

Really cool to see a full edited skyblock run. I tried one myself, got up to bronze, a windmill, and autosifting. Ultimately the amount of mining I would've needed to do with my notsogreat basalt gen in order to dirt up my land made me quit. Im sure if I had your stone generator designs and actually knew what the welcome mat did I would've kept going. For me all thats really missing is some sort of autoblock breaker. Panning and mining from a stone gen are the uninteresting, tedious parts of skyblock and only half of that can be automated.

[@Oscillascape]

@@Sami_LessVODS that's cool to hear! Yes, many parts of the gameplay were tedious, but knowing it's material for a video is a great motivator for me. This concept would be cooler with a bit more automation like the block breaker you mentioned. I will have to really think hard about how to make Skyblock a real thing in vintage story for the masses!

[@11darklight11]

Check out vintage story moddb. I've uploaded a skyblock map that should be less grindy and more fun than using only basalt generator for progression

this HAS BEEN AMAZING!!!!!!! i recentrly returned to the skyblock from the other famous game just because i needed that "experience" once again but i had in the back of my mind that i wanted to make such a run on vintage story. i made a bit of research and found the "vintage story modpack launcher" (which i don't really know how to use) and hopping for someone to have made a pack but no luck. i also found the islands you showed up. if i'm being honest i really wish the base game had a "floating island" mode. or at least that someone made a "floating island mod" that made all the needed changes to play this kind of runs. i wish. keeping the modlist updated may end up being nightmare-ish between versions but a "single mod" would be less painful. i swear if i knew anything about programming i would try myself but i'm as dumb as a donkey in that regard.

Hello there, would you be interested in playing a SkyBlock meets One Block kind of map in VS? I'm cooking the map right now using command blocks. It is kinda chill. Needs no mods, though QoL mods and autosifter would make a more pleasant experience. The main concept is to use regenerating blocks like in One block maps (i tried to make a random one block but failed to implement it so far, so I went with the easier thing of adding different regenerating blocks(some do it fast, some with a delay for balancing reasons) to a skyblock like map with different islands and progression gated behind metal tools. The map goal is to reach steel and along the way get access to most of content possible from normal gameplay, but in a skyblock. If you have any other map ideas using regenerating blocks One Block style, would be nice to discuss it.

[@11darklight11]

I am also thinking of some map, where you get resources you need by surviving in the arena with enemies. I think it is possible to pull it off with current functionality of command blocks. Make some sorts of home area where you prepare and then go for a run to get as much resources as you can from an instance before you either die or escape. Though this kind of map gonna take quite some time to do and probably gonna need to find some dedicated builder for decorations

Kinda sad that map making in VS is currently non existent, there arent even a section for maps yet.

[@11darklight11]

Anyway I've dropped the map on vs moddb. "neo skyblock"

[@Oscillascape]

I think I would yes. Are you planning to add it to the mod page? Where do you plan to host it?

[@Oscillascape]

Cool, I will check it out for sure at some point! The more the merrier, thanks for contributing to the modding scene.

can you release a guide on how and what you made this map with?

@@ewa8723 I probably will! The response has been great so, I will most likely put something together for the community.

I like the custom texture for obsidian, looks a lot more vibrant which is something the base game kinda sucks at.

[@Oscillascape]

@@omegahaxors9-11 i just cranked the exposure by 2x, otherwise it's the same texture. The default obsidian was so dark that you couldn't see anything at night even with a lantern. It kind of bricked my initial Skyblock run.

[@omegahaxors9-11]

@@Oscillascape The games textures overall suffer from undersaturation. This is fine for a lot of blocks but it really shows on others, especially with how phenomenal the lighting system is. You almost can't appreciate how good the lighting is with how washed out everything ends up looking.

This is far beyond what I should expect when I get it, but: Do I get Vintage Story? It’s been getting my interest. I remember being obsessed with survival comics as a child, and this game looks very promising.

[@Oscillascape]

Are you a gamer? Do you have any experience playing survival games? Those could be the questions to ask. But if it looks interesting, I would say dive in. The game is fairly inexpensive, granted by Western nations standards!

[@KujiArgisia]

@@Oscillascape Yes, I do play games a lot. And I mean A LOT. I plan to actually dive into it youtube-wise someday. Well, if it’s inexpensive, it doesn’t hurt to try. Thanks!

[@KujiArgisia]

@@Oscillascape Well, I certainly didn't expect my first day in the game to be running off my entire food bar to find flint, but it sure was! This is gonna be an interesting experience. Still, I thank you for introducing me to it.

So you didn't eat cattail roots to avoid eating turnips and berries, and didn't give grass to the pigs?

Are the summoning stations a mod? How can I get this for my server I’d like to build a cool village

[@Oscillascape]

@@beefr0mi105 Yes, I have everything listed in the description of the video. The welcoming mat is part of Still Useful Stuff mod. It's actually not listed in the list of features, but if you look up a welcoming mat on google you will find an older forum post that has details on how it works. It got integrated into the mod at some point, but it's not well documented.

[@SeigiEmiya]

You can probably remove lava with falling gravel or sand

[@Oscillascape]

@@SeigiEmiya interesting idea. I need to test it now.

[@VitorEmanuelOliver]

Could you use flowing water to lead the auto sifter products into the hopper like in Minecraft?

[@Oscillascape]

Yes you can but it's also not reliable. I tested such tech in creative and found that the goodies will often get stuck in the stream. There are ways to bypass it but you need like a 9 hopper design, I couldn't have recreated it in this playthrough. Maybe someone smarter can come up with better tech.

@@groblivsochbauggr what do you mean hi res? Those are the default vintage story textures?

bro useful stuff mod has a sluice you can use

@@rpcharly7611 yes it does, but it only pans a single item from a whole block, when you get 6 items per hand pan or the auto sifter. I couldn't afford to lose 6x efficiency.
