Sticks and Stones! Setting Up for Success In a New World! Vintage Story Guide S2 (1.18) Ep 1

[@Kurazarrh]

Hey everyone! Since there have been reports of people not being able to generate the same world shown in the series, I talked with my very understanding Patrons, and it was decided that I should provide a download of the very first world backup here in order to work around this issue. You can download it here and put it into your %appdata%\VintageStoryData\Saves folder: www.mediafire.com/file_premium/2d4r0c5n4kw9tcn/guide_season_2_first_backup.vcdbs/file

[@arcticcirclepit2008]

I just bought Vintage Story, realized I was lost, then found this series and man, it's been absolutely CLUTCH for learning what to do. This rules.

[@Kurazarrh]

Hey awesome, that's exactly what I like to hear about the series. I hope you continue to find it helpful!! :)

[@andrewcullen2527]

Idk why I been seeing this game in my recommended recently, but how up to date is this guide compared to whatever current build Vintage Story is on?

[@Kurazarrh]

@@andrewcullen2527 It's reasonably up-to-date. There is a new version coming out Soon(TM), so it'll fall a little farther behind, but most of the core gameplay is largely unchanged.

[@arcticcirclepit2008]

​@@andrewcullen2527 Seems pretty practical still. I wound up getting bored of VS though and went back to Minecraft, so maybe this has changed.

[@gman1515]

If you mark the map with pickaxe and choose the orange on the far right of the top row of colors, it will automatically label it copper, or at least it does for me.

[@Kurazarrh]

Yeah, I had forgotten about that feature--plus, since the text box comes first, I tend to fill it out before anything else! XD

[@chitin122]

better to just use the default dot and make it orange and label it c for surface copper

Just bought Vintage story for myself, so I'm excited I'm starting season 2 for the first time.

[@Kurazarrh]

Oh awesome!! I hope you have many exciting adventures! :D

[@HeruKane]

Just finished the episode! Awesome stuff. Nice start and explanations and such. Also the trader conversation was cool, nice that they are building up the story and universe and stuff. I wonder if in time there will be the 'secured villages' he talks about. That could be interesting. Good stuff, looking forward to seeing what comes next. Especially the building, I love the building. hehe Well, onward to the next episode!

[@Kurazarrh]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, I'm excited to see where the traders / villagers go. I would LOVE to be able to explore a generated village and have meaningful interactions with the people living there!

[@Zulban48]

Alright I've been waiting for this. Looks like 777 is a lucky seed, I had to travel about 5km from the start in my world to find a spot to settle I'm only somewhat happy with, and I haven't found any Larches like I was hoping to.

[@Kurazarrh]

777 has treated me VERY well so far! If you're looking for larches, you're probably going to need to look on mountains. Especially where there's a large amount of upheaval, you can sometimes find enormous larch forests in high-altitude terrain.

[@Enesyuu]

Larch seem to grow in colder climes? I generally start my worlds from the north pole and head down on a journey to find a home. The first two trees I invariably find a lot of are Larch and Pine, usually in that order.

[@Forvala]

Nice jumpscare with the ram😂. Also sticking to time honored tradition of demonstrating fire starting in pitch darkness. (Well, on my screen anyhow).

[@Kurazarrh]

Haha, yeah that ram was a squeaky bum moment. I'd have liked to get to the firestarting earlier, but it took way too long to find enough reeds! @.@

[@crone2219]

Your back! Yea, I waited very patiently all week. A couple of things, first, I thought if you didn't break the mushrooms with your knife, they didn't grow back? and for #20Kuestions I have been hoping since I started watching you forever ago, for an explanation on the green stone, and the picture of the guy? So my question, what is the dealy with that? Happy to see the series started, I really enjoy your explanation of how to go about playing with the game.

[@Kurazarrh]

Hehe, I'm glad you got to catch the episode shortly after it came out! The mushrooms were changed in... either 1.16 or 1.17 so they no longer require you to harvest them with a knife. They now have "areas" where they'll respawn regardless of how you harvest them. And I've got your question added to the list! :)

[@radflip]

First time playing this game and I've been doing a sorta play along with your world and it's been tons of help! This game is quite fun!

[@Kurazarrh]

Hey that's so great to hear! Welcome to the game! :)

[@Enesyuu]

All this time and I never knew about the left shift to mass craft. Holy moly.

[@Kurazarrh]

:D Yeah, it's handy. If you play that other block game, it works the same way. Though in Vintage Story, it ONLY works with left shift. I need to bug Tyron again because it's been a while with no movement on some lefty-righty accessibility issues.

[@DarkManifesto]

What you can do to cheese the fire is light a torch first, as somehow the fire lighter works faster on it then light the fire with the torch.

[@Kurazarrh]

I thought the firestarter just had a random 20% chance of lighting whatever it was pointed at?

[@DarkManifesto]

@@Kurazarrh I don't know, somehow the firestarter for me just works faster on the torch. So I light a torch before lighting the cooking fire thingy or the kiln

I set up my first ever base right next to a rift. I didn't see it on the first day so I would like to think it popped up and I didn't just miss it several times. Haha

[@Kurazarrh]

Oh they do pop in and out of existence! Most rifts only last for about a day, and there won't be any at all whenever the rift activity is "calm." You can keep rifts from spawning in an area by placing bright lights (generally lanterns, since torches burn out quickly).

[@wordydird]

[@BA1Gang]

That mushroom patch you harvested about the 20 minute mark, you didn;t use a knife, there will be no more.

[@Kurazarrh]

That mechanic was changed in 1.16. you no longer have to harvest the mushrooms with a knife in order for them to grow back (and you'll see that harvesting them with a knife also no longer leaves a little mushroom stub).

[@Enesyuu]

Was wondering about that. Didn't realize it was a version update that changed it. I thought I had a mod that affected mushrooms in prior versions or something!

[@l0g1cb0mb]

careful lighting fire with torches with combustible things nearby; attempted to light one of mine once and some how lit grass that got in the way of targeting the firepit, and everything lit up, fire spread to burnable bushes, baskets, even me! I had water nearby but the loss in fruit bushes, and baskets that were too close as I panicked vs. destroying the burning block and or placing dirt. Tried to use water, but the water source block became a problem of its own! T_T Learning lesson from school of hard knocks learned! lol But I ain't one to gossip... .

[@Kurazarrh]

Yep, that's definitely a potential problem! I don't recommend putting firepits on flammable blocks, and I usually prefer to have at least a 1-block ring of other non-flammable blocks around them (or at least in front) just in case I miss while trying to light them.

@@Kurazarrh I very much am. a lot of youtubers and streamers are tooo slow, including everything...I'd just play the damned game myself if it were 1:1 like that. but where you can easily "skip the night" or use time lapse it definitely keeps it watchable. also...KUDOS to your patience about making an entire stack of arrowheads! even 9 at a time...that's soooo boring! [you did make me decide to give archery a try....the sling at 1 damage a stone is great early game, but once you get metal arrows and high tier bow...yeah....I need a faster kill time.

I'm happy season 2 is here! Something I never noticed before is that they categorize mushrooms as a vegetable? Which is just plain weird in my opinion since fungi are much closer to being animals than plants and they contain a lot of protein.

[@Kurazarrh]

Thank you! Glad you're excited for the series! If I had to guess, it's probably because from a culinary perspective, mushrooms are treated like vegetables. Kind of like tomatoes that are actually fruit, but you wouldn't put it in a fruit salad (unless it's salsa!). ;)

[@loviebeest]

@@Kurazarrh That explains a bit. I wonder if that's why there isn't tomato in the game because of having to categorize it as a vegetable or fruit. XD

[@Kurazarrh]

@@loviebeest Haha, possibly! Or more than that--tomatoes are a highly cultivated plant, and the world has gone through an apocalypse event, so anything that requires cultivation would be gone!

Point of Information: Cranberries provide the least nutritional value of any berry, but last more than twice as long without rotting.

[@Kurazarrh]

True, they do last longer. It makes them fine for foraging on longer trips, and if you're hungry, the best food is any food! But later in the game, cranberries are pretty much best used for pink dye and decoration!

[@paaph8747]

Cranberries take twice as long to rot. I like them better!

[@Kurazarrh]

They're not bad in the early game, especially when you're in the "stuff my face with whatever's on hand" phase, or if you're on a long journey and living off the land. But if I'm cooking, I'd rather have just about any other fruit (but not cherries or lychees).

So randomly, I just started watching this video cause life got distracting, but I had to comment on something - when making a knapped tool I am surprised that the recipe doesn't include some sort of fiber or grass string to bind the stick and head.

[@Kurazarrh]

I would guess because in order to get grass, you need to have a knife in the first place. It could be done by substituting cattail reeds or papyrus, I suppose, with grass as an alternative once you have your first knife. I'll bet this is already on Tyron's radar, though! XD

You can tell it's a larch tree because of the way that it is.

[@fictitiousnightmares]

58:26 Actually you can cook red meat and veggies with a single piece of wood. I cook all my meals with one piece of firewood each.

[@Kurazarrh]

I probably should have been clearer in my explanation there: you can cook a *full pot* of meat and veggies, which is six meals, with as few as three pieces of wood. It's not possible to cook an entire six-meal pot of meat & veggie stew on one piece of wood, though a pot with just one serving in it could be done.

[@fictitiousnightmares]

@@Kurazarrh I probably should have been clearer myself. I cook a full crock worth. 4 meals with one firewood.

[@Kurazarrh]

@@fictitiousnightmares I tried this out just now. You're correct, though this behavior appears to be due to a bug introduced in 1.18. It's not supposed to function this way--and the UI glitches out when you do this, too! What's *supposed* to happen is, after the log burns out and the fire's temperature drops below the pot's temperature, the pot's temperature is supposed to start dropping as well. Typically, by the time the fire temp hits about 100C, the pot temp should start dropping, and by 50C, it should be dropping even faster. Once the pot's temp gets below 150C, the cooking progress bar should reverse (pretty quickly), and completely reset after a few seconds.

[@fictitiousnightmares]

@@Kurazarrh Yeah, I saw the bug where the temp/progress bar stops updating and showing what it should once the fire goes 'cold', but it still has the temp and finishes cooking. The temp DOES actually drop, you just can't see it. If you tried to cook 6 servings with 1 log you would see that it does the same thing, except it fails as the temp dropped, even though you couldn't see it due to the progress display bug when the fire goes cold. So not sure there is actually a problem with the temps, just the display of them.

[@Kurazarrh]

@@fictitiousnightmares I'm still pretty convinced it's a bug, unless Tyron also changed how quickly the food temperature drops in 1.18. I don't see mention of that in any changelogs, though.

[@annak804]

You have to go through winter before the fruit trees will bloom and until they bloom no fruit

Think that “voice” of your character is not annoying, it is adorable.

Alas, that Vintage Story has no such creature! Possibly you could impress the hostiles with your cooking skills? 😉

Thank you!! No, I didn't die over there, but I thought I heard a bear. Unfortunately, I wasn't recording at the time, but I'm going to have to start recording more of my random little travels--bears and wolves no longer seem to be restricted to spawning in forested areas, which is a big pain!

[@Kurazarrh]

[@aries999]

I feel like I'm missing something, could you answer this please: is there a reason why you only make one bowl and one pot instead of 4 each? I thought that when firing stuff in a pit, the time it took was uniform depending on material used to fire it, and that you always consumed the same resources to fire a pit kiln (a certain amount of hay and sticks, as well as logs or peat).

[@Kurazarrh]

In the very beginning of the game, when time isn't on your side and you need to be out gathering resources, the last thing you want (as a new player, at least) is to spend more time or resources than you really need. You don't need more than one pot and one bowl at the beginning of the game, when digging up clay is a very time-consuming task. Hence, for a new player, one of each is enough, and maximizing for longer-term efficiency doesn't pay out in the short- to medium-term (and that added efficiency is so negligible in the long term that it might as well not even exist). Granted, if I left two slots open in the pit kiln, it probably wouldn't have hurt too much to make one additional bowl and pot (or three bowls total), but IIRC I was trying to conserve clay for other things.

[@aries999]

@@Kurazarrh That makes sense, thanks for replying

@@Kurazarrh okay with that I agree. I liked the first variants of the musical ones more but a lot of folks complained sadly.. As for the length I thought that was a bug lol

[@lostarsm9240]

my 777 worldseed only shares very shallow similarities; granite does indeed start there but the topography is totally different and even looks kind of stretched as though it is being artificially warped.

[@Kurazarrh]

What version of the game did you make your world in? And did you change any of the other settings? I've also heard that 1.18.3 might have changed the world generation a bit, so you might need to make the world in 1.18.1 and then upgrade again.

[@lostarsm9240]

@@Kurazarrh I did update to 1.18.3 before making the world. That makes more sense now.

[@Kurazarrh]

@@lostarsm9240 Yeah, someone else reported a similar issue with a world created in 1.18.3. It seems the main difference might be with the upheaval? But I'm not sure.

[@lukrezialaval2406]

@@Kurazarrh Same problems here with 1.18.3. Standard of upheaval is now 30% not 40%, I tried both with 777 as a seed, but the map looks quite different to yours. Anyhow, I just discovered Vintage Story this Sunday and you yesterday. Really like your Videos :)

[@Kurazarrh]

@@lukrezialaval2406 Hey, I'm glad you've discovered Vintage Story and my channel! Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot I can do about the seed mismatch, but if you temporarily downgrade your installation to 1.18.1 and create the world with the 777 seed, then you should be able to update to 1.18.3 and it *should* still work. I'm not sure how upgrading in the process of playing affects how the world generates (whether it has no effect or whether all chunks generated after updating will be "1.18.3" chunks).

This looks interesting, I've been getting the itch to play Terrafirmacraft which i believe this is based on, but neither Vintage Story or building a TFC modlist are really an option for me.

[@Kurazarrh]

Not an option? That's too bad. I hope that situation changes for you soon!

[@ham8426]

@@Kurazarrh Unlikely, i could go and load up an old pack with the 1.7.10 version of TFC but the content it has is limited, no real support for mods outside it while the 1.18 version seems to have some modpacks that include Create which sounds like a neat combo but my system doesn't like the latest versions of MC. On paper I should be able to run Vintage Story, but I have tried and the game just refuses to launch.

[@Kurazarrh]

@@ham8426 Ah, I read you. Strange that Vintage Story won't launch, since it should run on just about anything (though if you're running a Mac, it may have issues). Sorry you're having problems with it! =/

[@seonab]

I just bought the game and I'm very confused about the mapgen. I've used all of the same settings as you, thinking I'd play along, but even when I get myself to the same coordinates you're at I have a completely different-looking terrain - the shapes of the lakes in particular are notably different. I understood from your episode 0 explanation that it would only be the vegetation and NPCs and the like that would change, but the actual structure of the world would be consistent across uses of the same seed? Or did I miss something?

[@Kurazarrh]

As it turns out, there are a couple things that have happened since version 1.18.0 (were on 1.18.15 now) that are preventing folks from generating the same world. 1) In 1.18.3, Tyron made some changes to the terrain generator to fix some bugs. This means that the map in the series can't be generated if you're on 1.18.3 or newer. In theory, you SHOULD be able to temporarily downgrade to 1.18.0 and generate the world, BUT... 2) Tyron just fixed a bug for the upcoming 1.19 release where he basically found that even worlds generated with the same seed sometimes have different appearances due to inconsistent values being set for the other parameters. I'm going to put up a "first save" world download in the description, so check back in a few minutes or an hour and check the video description for that. The only thing I worry about in addition is whether *additional* terrain generation after the initial load is going to also be affected, but I hope not.

[@seonab]

@@Kurazarrh Aha, that all makes sense. Thank you so much for both the explanation and the save file. 🥰

[@Kurazarrh]

@@seonab Sure thing! Good luck! :D

[@seonab]

@@Kurazarrh So in answer to your question about whether it makes a difference to the rest of the world, the answer is... kinda? Point the First: When loading your backup file, I appeared at roughly the same coordinates that you were at the start of the video but those coordinates were on a different part of the map. Thankfully you were between two fairly distinctively-shaped shorelines, and I wasn't too far away, so I made a cross-country dash to match up with you. Takeaway: Playing along, I won't be able to rely on matching your coordinates since it looks like my map's been shifted to the north-east by maybe 50 bocks or so. Point the Second: The fruit trees were in the same places you found them and were of the same types. Yay! Takeaway: Maybe specific one-off vegetation spawns like fruit trees are stable across the board? Point the Third: When I got to where you found the cattails, they were extremely under-represented. I was only able to harvest enough for 3.5 baskets, never mind the storage box. So I will be on the lookout for more cattails as I follow you around, and in the meantime be very conservative with what else I collect. Takeaway: Maybe general or area-covering vegetation is created on the fly as you get near it? Anyway, I'm still going to give following along a go. Hopefully the RNG won't screw me over too badly. 🤞

[@Kurazarrh]

@@seonab Hey awesome thanks for the feedback on the experience! It's odd that the world coordinates shifted... While I definitely experienced that while regenerating worlds using the same seed, I would have thought that a world that already had been partly generated would keep its coordinates. Very strange! As for plants (apparently other than fruit trees!) They are not seed-deterministic, so you will definitely see some differences but should generally be in about the same area.

lol, Kurazarrh, um, I am still working on watching both your rust world, and vintage story guild 1.16 (think that's what its called). which category does that put me under? I wonder how much I will get confused between the series. ? Hope you don't mind if I end up leaving a comment, and not realizing its for your other, other series. I work 3 jobs, so I'm usually running on, sleep depravation. 2 full time and one part time, that's about 75 hours of working. Either way, I am enjoying your videos. I still laugh about your comments about other block games. Is there anything you have been dreaming about the creators of Vintage adding to the game?

For the big map/minimap? Not a mod, that's part of the base game. Though if you're playing in Wilderness Survival mode (I think maybe Homo Sapiens mode, too), the map and minimap are disabled. You can toggle them on with (I think) F6, or by going into the interface settings.

hey!!!!! im here for this i think you shouldve reduced food spoiling rate a tiny bit. this game is so brutal with food.

Thank you! I've never really had a problem with food spoilage, especially once I get a cellar up and running. You generally WILL lose some berries and meat to spoilage, but as long as you're somewhat proactive about finding and planting crops and digging/building a cellar, the default timers should be just fine (as long as you don't live way far north or have very long seasons!).

[@Durzza]

@@Kurazarrh i was living in the south- china type biome with bamboo and pandas, so getting ice was a NIGHTMARE i ended up just always making sushi and fishing. i never ended up needing a cellar back there because it was so bountiful but when i went north and winter came- oh man
