If... if you're near the equator, you'll be in the torrid zone. Not the temperate zone. It'll be super hot and get colder in both directions. You're thinking of like, a eurocentric latitude?
Upon further investigation you are correct. For what it’s worth I’ve also learned you actually spawn north of the equator in Vintage Story, so temperate still works but not for the reasons I stated. 😂 I’m a programmer not a climatologist! 🤷♂️
Cool tutorial :)) One error i noticed though is that you said without the hunter class a bow can only be obtained in bronze age - that's not true though since the first basic bow not tied to a class can be crafted with just sticks and flax twine which can be obtained even before copper age.
Yeah, I got taken down by one yesterday. I had just taken my armor off too so that I could chase it properly, and then it ended up killing me once I got it against a rock wall.
Nice video, thanks for making VS content. I wish VS spawned closer to the equator. It's nice and warm at the VS equator and not 5 months of snow. Be careful about your mods when you are talking about taming. That doesn't exist yet in vanilla.
One tip that my friend and i discovered is if you are getting chased by a brown or black bear. Turn around and throw 2-3 spears at it. This will cause the bear to run away for a short time, giving you a chance to escape. However if you stick around he will come back to fight you. We actually use this method to hunt them in the early game.
Or you could just dig a 3x3 hole 4 tiles deep (bears can climb 3 blocks iirc) and chase / lure animals into it. Works better as part of a trap fence, but just a hole alone will do fine early game.
the pot of food, but I wonder...I bet...having cabbage in it, with perhaps some berries, to get 3 food groups covered is ideal, no? and of course cabbage giving more satiation.
You don't actually spawn at the equator. You spawn at an axis based on the settings for your world. If you chose a temperate starting point, you will spawn above the equator; meaning you will have to travel south to get to the equator. In VS (again, it's all based on your world settings), the equator and the poles repeat themselves. If your world is large enough, you will go from pole to equator to pole, and back to the next equator and the next pole, ad continuum. If you restrict your world size, you can actually make it such that you only have two poles (with upper and lower bounds, meaning you cannot go in a circle around your world to let it repeat itself).
Heres a tip that has helped me kill wolves and bears in the early game, so rather than staying on their level (the ground) ill make a 4/5 dirt block verticle tower and attack them from there, now if you use this method, make sure you have the hunterbacks equiped as youre going to need atleast 6/10 flint/copper spears and if you have a bow already, then id reccomend bringing that aswell. Now what is the sucess rate of this method you may ask ? I'd say its actually almost impossible to die if done correctly, so for example, when youre hunting bears, always make sure you are 4/5 blocks tall as i think they can hit you from 3 blocks, im not fully sure tho. But from doing this method, it really has made hunting the aggressive animals much easier, same with the passive aggressive ones too, now it can be annoying having to build up, but you can easily get atleast 64 meat plus lots of hides and fat from a single day of hunting and using this method in active areas. The last thing is make sure you are 15/25 blocks away so you can build up without them attacking you, you can risk it and go closer if you keep missing shots but the closer you are means the faster you need to build up, I died last night due to attacking his friend, so I ended up getting him low so I thought the wise decision would be to hop off my tower to finish him off and then this black wolf appears out of the bushes and runs at me so I attempted to build but he wasway too close and fast and hit me faster than I expected so then I tried killing him with my falax blade but I was already at half health so I ended up dying, make sure you check your surroundings properly and don't get too confident because it is easy to make mistakes when first starting.
Didn't know that you can build traps and catch small animals that way. I was always wondering, why one of mynpcs would buy a wolf pup....like...how do you get it? XD Learned something, after playing for 30 hours. Ps. Loved the Digimon Music in the Background XD had to think a while where I know that soundtrack from
Very entertaining and well crafted info video, but there are two big pieces of mis-info ... 1) The equator is the name used in game for the hot zone furthest to the south in the world. The "polar equator distance" in the world settings is the measurement between the hottest and coldest points of climate, not the temperate middle zone. 2) Not mentioning bone axes. The extra durability from bone axes makes them a lot more useful than wood ones, and they end up being the primary wood chopping tool in early game when flint stockpiles may be low.
Bless him, "also like Earth, it gets hotter the further north you go and colder the further south." ...should we tell him there is a whole Southern hemisphere, where it's reversed??
Yeah thats the point. Its just YOUR opinion. People dont look up guides because they wanna ruin their fun, people want to get into stuff and explore the other stuff for them self, its not like " yeah im gonna watch that and now the game is boring "
Whoops, I forgot about Bighorn sheep! They’re like deer but instead of running they impale you repeatedly. Still less terrifying than Foxes.
also bone handle for the axe.
@@ijkdenemOh wow, I never realized! I remember trying it with a spear once and it didn’t work so I assumed it was knife only. Thanks for the info!
@@waddlesjr631 from all of the videos i have seen it only works for knife and axe handles so it is easy to miss.
On Earth, the further south you go, it also gets colder... great vid though!
😂 Fair point, it’ll get warmer for a bit though! Lol
Hottest at the equator as well haha

Oh, good catch! There's so much to this game I forget about some things - I'll add it to the description.
Chop chop vintage boy, I need more tips
🫡
@@waddlesjr631still no clay vid 😢
Great guide for new players. Thanks!
Thanks for watching - Happy to help!
One note. Deer absolutely will fight back if you corner them, and they hit hard. My second death in my world was by a deer
I had no idea! That is very good to know, thank you!
Yeah, I got taken down by one yesterday. I had just taken my armor off too so that I could chase it properly, and then it ended up killing me once I got it against a rock wall.
The best tutorials on this platform period. I am recommending this
Thank you for the high praise, life’s been busy, but I’ll try my best to get more out soon!
Im trying to get into vintage story and these tutorials are life savers, using them as an intro, do make more!
Nice video, thanks for making VS content. I wish VS spawned closer to the equator. It's nice and warm at the VS equator and not 5 months of snow. Be careful about your mods when you are talking about taming. That doesn't exist yet in vanilla.
Oh, damn. For some reason I could’ve sworn taming was in vanilla these days! I’ll add an update, thank you!
Actually you can domesticate sheep,goat,pigs and chickens but you can't tame wolves
Waiting for the next video! I really enjoy them!! :)

Good callout - Do you hunt together or solo?
@waddlesjr631 usually together but it can be done solo with a little practice
Your videos are great. Hope you are doing well. would love to see more of your hard work.
Thank you for the support! Im hoping to make more in the near future. Every time I start these up again I forget just how dense this game is!
Going to the south would be getting nearer to the equator. Players spawn in the middle of equator and the north pole
Noted and added as a correction in the description
The temperate zone is actually north and south of the equator, the equator is actually the tropics and jungles.
Really like your videos! I'm looking forward to the next one!
Running the butcher mod and bringing back 4 pigs is the best feeling. I honestly didn’t know that about traps tho. Chickens just got easier
Thanks for the video! Hope you haven't quite given up on the clay video yet!
You don't spawn near the equator, but midway between the equator and the north pole.
Perfect amount of info greatly delivered and paced. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
That psx Digimon soundtrack ❤
i need more guides come back its been 10 months i just got the game 😅
Any update big man? Just got the game and absolutely love your videos
Very informative and well edited. Thank you kindly from a new player :)
Glad you enjoyed!
I think what you've meant by equator is actually the 45th paralled, the center of the temperate latitude
Great video. Helpful. Where's your clay pots video then eh? eh? ;)
I've seen deer fight back when cornered. But I was playing the latest non stable version tho
Mushrooms count as a vegetable for storage, but does it count for traps?
Great video! Please make more :D
Ellinia, the old tree trunk placeee 😍🥺
Or you could just dig a 3x3 hole 4 tiles deep (bears can climb 3 blocks iirc) and chase / lure animals into it. Works better as part of a trap fence, but just a hole alone will do fine early game.
We need the Clay Tutorial. Im enjoying your videos ! Get to work. Make us some videos @WaddlesJr

well made vid, looking forward to the next
please make a lets play on this game, I love your 2 videos I saw on this game
Is the clay video still on hold? I couldn't find it in the playlist thingy
Yeah, life got busy. Itll be coming soon!
Where’s the next video?
more.....more......MORE VIDEOS!!!!
please and thank you :)
Well good sir, I would like one ticket to you talking about food, cooking and preservation please
I think the author got the equator confused with the median lattitude of a hemisphere.

yeah btw the male deer will absolutely murder you if you attack it (near 1 shot without armor)

So old traps don't work anymore do they?

Few mistakes in this video
So many errors and misinformed information in this video. Wow.
I thought this was Minecraft
It’s Minecraft on steroids!
guides ruin the fun and longevity of any kind of game. just my opinion. it's like spoiling the destination to Christopher Columbus
Yeah thats the point. Its just YOUR opinion. People dont look up guides because they wanna ruin their fun, people want to get into stuff and explore the other stuff for them self, its not like " yeah im gonna watch that and now the game is boring "
