VINTAGE STORY IN 2024 - Motherload - Fresh Start Gameplay [3]

[@theonlysinisharm]

I was so ready to talk about how trunks give you an extra 8 inventory spaces over 2 chests, and then you brought up the point about the carry on mod and I was just floored by your considerations. Farmland can NOT be dug up again after it's made, it'll simply be destroyed. That said, if you live in or near a place with medium soil, there's not much stopping you from simply replacing it every time you'd farm. The non growing period of winter also makes all of your farm plots effectively fallow for 4-5 months, replenishing most or all of the fertility in farmland, so crop rotation becomes relatively moot by all practical means. Regarding ore veins, vintage story tends to spawn them as disks on staggered, but singular layers. I like to place myself such that the ores are on eye level, and then carve them out using a T shaped tetromino, so that I can reach every ore broken and dig out the greatest amount of ore with the least tool durability. It also conserves inventory from stones, which becomes a real nuisance in between building projects. It ALSO has the benefit of hindering drifter movement in your mineshaft, and with a spear you can simply hit them across the 2 block gap that they can't jump past. I'm loving this series, and it's making me think about recording some of my own VinS gameplay. Thank you!

Thank you for the tips and for watching! That'd be great, always nice to see some more VS content.

[@chibifishy97]

A cool tip, if you hoe a fully mature crop you find in the wild, you'll get more when you harvest it.

[@dannyrothko]

Oh interesting, thanks for the tip!

[@rachelsuegoodman]

Really enjoying this. Wish my computer wasnt down. Im living vicariously through you right now.

[@IyseHexxo-br8uo]

I feel your pain. My faithful laptop of over 10 years has passed away on me :-(

[@uacko8986]

Vintage Story speed run, lol! It's a fun series to watch. With 9 in-game days you're already ahead of me with my couple hundred hours of play. I'm avoiding spoilers so I'll have to wait to watch more of your playthrough. One comment about windows -- you can use plain glass, which doesn't need lead. Just quartz and a bloomery. (I believe you did run across lead earlier, but skipped it, oops.)

[@dannyrothko]

The seed is really great for a quick start so far! I don't really like how the black border looks around the normal glass so I'm planning on doing an expedition for lead soon! I totally missed it if I walked past it haha.

[@darcksage1]

Great playthrough so far! can't wait for more!

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you for watching! There's more to come for sure.

[@kae5717]

Well played! I'm enjoying the slow and steady adventure. Moose can in fact hit back, just like rams will, so beware of that. Glad the pillar kept you up and safe. You can use glass half-slabs (any glass + saw to the right) as windows too, they count as insulating as long as the "flush" side is against the interior.

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you! Yes I've learned the hard way with a moose before haha. Thanks for the tip on the glass, I may end up doing that if I can't find any lead soon.

[@biohazard0482]

I’m absolutely loving the play through! I can’t wait for the next episode!

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you! There's more to come!

[@jbskyfall9271]

There's like a 1/2000 chance for a temp gear to drop from sifting. So not a bad option. Sifting is what I do to pass the time no matter what stage I'm in the game.

[@dannyrothko]

Ooh good to know, I might need to try that out more

[@newkkl]

Great progress! I know what you mean about trying to prioritize, there’s always another hill to peer over or ruin to plunder.

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you! A lot of progress, but so much more to go haha. And yeah I'm always getting sidetracked in this game, too much to do!

[@JamesAlexanderMartin]

Worth keeping hold of the rot you find, throw a stack of it in a barrel and 20 days later it's compost, a critical component for crafting terra preta. And you need a lot of compost to make it. Also, I don't really know why people sleep in VS. There's no benefit and there's so much to do so why sleep?

[@dannyrothko]

Oh that's good to know! Definitely want to get some of that for the farm. I only sleep if there's nothing I can really do in the night.

[@Andreavorhies2010]

Thank you for making a great video for us. Aprreciate your time!

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you so much!

[@Kyassady]

Man! Nice series!!! Just a tip I found! You can seal a croc with the animal fat

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you! Yes I do do that to a couple eventually but I'm really stingy with my animal fat, I want to save a bunch for a windmill in the near future!

[@Zazyski]

I got really hooked on your VS series, do you have any posting schedule for it?

[@dannyrothko]

I usually upload 1 video per week alternating between Icarus and VS. Next episode is this week!

[@wild1971child]

can't wait to see the next one

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you! More is coming soon.

[@BandManDRizz]

i love these please keep doing them :)

[@dannyrothko]

Thanks for watching! There's definitely more coming.

[@scoobertmcruppert2915]

18:11 Missed opportunity…Juicy Moosey

[@dannyrothko]

😆😆

[@SweetestCub99]

Animal fat can be used to seal crocks as well 😊

[@dannyrothko]

I'm super stingy with it haha, I want to save some for helve hammers and such in the future. I may end up needing to use it if I can't find bees though.

[@SweetestCub99]

@@dannyrothko I'm playing with a friend and every time I say "we're out of animal fat" he'll put in another 13 😂 I understand how much harder it has to be by yourself

[@Pinnix]

@@dannyrothko Domesticating pigs is the way to go. Keep one or two litters going and you'll have plentiful fat hides and meat. After a few generations they become much easier to manage as well.

[@Jamesdodson33]

Good stuff as always Danny!

[@dannyrothko]

Thanks for watching as always!

[@grannyswatchingu7060]

You might consider a fence around your farm so small animals can't eat them

[@dannyrothko]

A fence is definitely coming soon!

[@VinceDemi]

❤

[@_cutpaper]

Hehehe what are Firestone shingles

[@juniormint5065]

So many size jokes lol

[@marcysiamadziamisia]

this game seems too complicated for me to get into, especially if it costs like 20 dollars, but i AM interested so just watching a let's play is best option here, found your channel and your videos are genuinely a good watch!!! way underrated, and nice voice btw :3

[@theonlysinisharm]

I personally bought vintage story and only played about 10 hours in the span of 4 months before a group of friends spontaneously decided to start playing it, and that's when I got more invested in the game than anyone else and began playing it for real. It's a slow and deliberate game for sure, but once you've given it an earnest shot, even if it takes a bit of help from friends, the investment will come naturally and the game gets very rewarding from there.

[@BandManDRizz]

It’s so worth it

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you so much! It is a super complicated game so I understand, sometimes watching a playthrough is a nice experience.

[@Pinnix]

Totally get that. It's a LOT. The complexity was what made the game attractive to me though. I got really bored playing solo Minecraft after 12 years but SMP isn't really a good option for me. Vintage Story was just the solo crafting/survival challenge I wanted.
