Vintage Story - Smithing & Alloys! - How to Handbook Bit By Bit a

[@nathantaylor4942]

Oh my god. This is such a cool smithing system.

[@electrobob992]

Agreed! If I had to compare it to anything... It would be that minecraft mod.. Tinkers Construct. It has molten metal, it has molds, etc. If I had the skills I would TOTALLY make a VS port of Tinkers, with changes of course to make it FIT the game. For example tool crafting would involve the following method. Place Stick/Toolrod in soft ground vertically. Right click with Tool head *If it can have too different heads, a menu to select further addition will appear to select next head or continue with first head* Right click with Binding *Straw/Glue/Rope/etc* to complete the tool. Add modifiers by either putting it in a barrel with certain fluid solutions, or special workbench. Also I would add an option to disable default tool creation aside from knapping. Oh and make it so shale rock bits, or knife blades can be used as one time knifes on plants *Shale can be sharp after all*

Tin Bronze for 2 ingots: 36 copper + 4 tin (2 peat + 2 charcoal or 2 brown coal) for 4 ingots: 73 copper + 7 tin (3 peat + 2 charcoal or 2 brown coal) for 6 ingots: 110 copper + 10 tin (3 peat + 3 charcoal or 2 brown coal) for the anvil: 162 copper + 18 tin (1 stack /128 + 34 copper) (5 charcoal or brown coal)

[@uncolored2060]

That's a very small amount of tin, not sure how it works (probably the same in real life, but I still don't know)

[@NipapornP]

@@uncolored2060 "How it works?" Well, just heat and melt it" ;)

[@uncolored2060]

@@NipapornP I know, it's just a ridiculous copper - tin ratio

[@demigodzero9]

Modern bronze is only 10% to 15% tin those add up pretty close, a little low but the game allows for a bit of variability in the amount of tin to create bronze as tin is much more rare especially on the surface.

[@39224]

Actually really helpful ratios, thank you

[@Ben-Hollingbery]

Damnit, i've been using a firepit to melt copper. I've only been playing a few days and didn't know a forge was so easy to make.

[@entropic-decay]

regarding getting material back, this game does have a built-in mod API, and there's a mod that adds you getting some material back from what you split off from a smithing project. I believe it's called Anvil Metal Recovery

[@EnigmaAlpha11056]

Good to know that shortcut for tin bronze alloys! Like predicted, I've been playing a *lot* of the game (though, in my usual fashion, a lot of that time has been, well, taking my time) and I'm sitting on piles of copper, waiting to improve it with a bit of extra tin I recently found... but the winter's rolling in, the days are getting shorter.... video about the seasons, maybe? Unless I forgot, and you did one already.

[@UnknownFox]

Wasn't aware of the Chisel + Anvil, so much appreciated. :D

[@uncolored2060]

I wouldn't recommend making copper spear heads, since they are very common in the bony soil, I got like 6 spear heads in 20 minutes of work

[@robertlangen7080]

Love seeing more Vintage Story. Thanks for the tips

[@Nickday112]

I really love the smithing. I used to play terrafirmacraft so much as i loved the smithing so much but this style is unique

[@bench9201]

This review is great. Ive loved watched Mod reviews and this video was calming and nice

[@MischiefofMice]

It's part of a playlist on the game :)

[@uncolored2060]

They should add an option to cool down molds quickly using watering can Edit: just realized that too quick cooling down usually deforms the metal

[@noelka8134]

This option is already in the game (or probably one of my mods do it, but it's not stated anywhere, so i think this is vanilla)

[@Yorkington]

cant wait for your videos on mechanical power :)

[@noelka8134]

Check out "anvil metal recovery" mod. It simply returns you metal bits for any pixels you removed while smithing, which is pretty nice. Always hated just deleting my metal into nowhere.

[@julioce0389]

The more you post about vintage story, the more im interested in playing it. I even heard the game can be modded too. Ima give it a try and maybe ill end up liking it more the minecraft itself

[@MischiefofMice]

It has well over 1k mods at the moment. Modding and using them are so much easier too

[@julioce0389]

@@MischiefofMice i want to get te game but i might to have save u for it since its like 25 usd and since i live in mexico its like 400 mxn x,D. I hope its worth a shot

[@MischiefofMice]

@julioce0389 The return policy is very flexible and allows you to try it for 2 weeks. I should know. I process the returns for them. ;)

Nice forgery! 😉 What I do to minimize the tin I need: Decide how many ingots I need Use a calculator with the number of nuggets multiplied by the smallest percentage of tin and round up Add that much tin and remove that much copper

[@h.1699]

shears do not increase drop chances, you'll get the same amount of sticks and tree seeds as if you would have broken the leafs another way, only leaf decay like for example when cutting down the tree directly reduces the drop chances.

[@MischiefofMice]

You actually just contradicted yourself there. It's just perspective. Mine is that chopping a tree down gets you a normal amount of drops thus every other method would increase it. *shrug*

[@tehNashty]

How could we science this??? Spawn in trees until we get identical trees and use shears vs another tool? I wonder if there is a randomness to it as well. The world may never know.

[@NipapornP]

@@tehNashty ...but the wiki will tell you!

[@tehNashty]

@@NipapornP That's right, I always trust the wiki. I always trust politicians too, I never fact check them. Usually because I would need a whole team of experts to do that...

[@brianjohnson5272]

I love your forge. My og system had a water system to rapidly cool the molds when in use but the moving water never actually did anything.

[@Gfafu]

This game is like if you put the micro systems of Project Zomboid into Minecraft, I absolutely love it, absolutely banger of a game. I can't wait until the community or the devs add shaders to the game that improve the lighting and adds shine to metal materials and water, it would add a lot to the game, right now I think it looks quite dull (still good though).

[@Beef1188]

Black... bronze... spears - the most powerful craftable ranged weapons in the game!

[@tsguejay9928]

Ooooo, Nice copper roofing.

[@SWESalK]

You have helped me to find this unknown fantastic game vintage story. Thank you for that! I would love to play it with my 11 year old son but I really cant find any age limit/recommendation for vintage story. You have anything to say about good age to start playing this or have you read this somewhere?

[@drooskie9525]

It might be a little complex for a 11 year old, and might not grip his attention very well (or easily frustrated?). Though, I was doing WoW raiding (healer) and profession services at like 7 to 10 years old so you never know. lol

[@shigeminotoge4514]

I have a problem where every time I pick up an item after finishing it it reverts bact to before I used the first split action and is considered 'in progress.' If I set it back down on the anvil I have to split off extra voxels all over again, then I pick it up, and they're back, and it's considered 'in progress' again, repeat ad infinitum. Is this a bug or am I missing a step to properly complete the item? I feel like it's definitely something I'm doing wrong, but it's so frustrating, I've just been throwing away all the broken crafting projects and cheating in finished ones because I can't get this to work. At my wit's end

[@edaaa926]

Where can i find Claystone?

[@jlodo4huk9]

You can recover bloks by hitting them???

[@Dark__Thoughts]

The smithing in VS is so much better than the TFC minigame and so much more forgiving, but also so much more immersive.

[@BoogieBrando]

What do you press to allow you to use just the freemouse when smithing, and to freeview while in menus? Is it in the game settings?

[@MischiefofMice]

Immersive Mouse mode and yes, in the settings.

[@BoogieBrando]

@@MischiefofMice thanks!!

[@elusiverinkusu]

Mischief, please tell me, what is that container with water? How do I craft it?

Just some water. I used a chisel to make it.
