- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In today's episode, we get deeper into metalworking, both casting and forging! Our goal: a suit of armor perfect for exploring the shallower depths of the world in a future episode! We also look at some new tools and how to use them, including the scythe and shears! We burn through LOTS of copper today, and we'll have to secure a steady supply of it to fill our smithy!

I’ve been putting an embarrassing number of hours into vintage story these last few days, and your content has been absolutely awesome to watch while I wander around looking for copper. Your videos are so like, engaging but also calming. Perfect for watching while I funnel vintage story pigs into their new pen lmao. Thanks for all your tutorials :)
Oh yeah, it's easy to get lost in Vintage Story for countless hours on end, isn't it? :D I'm glad the Guide series can be a good companion on your adventures!
You can put the Drying Bow on a tool rack to dry
There is a config file in the ModConfig folder for CarryOn where you can enable various items to be carried; including the trunk. Also, the recurve bow stave dries beautifully on the weapons rack.
Ah, I gotcha. I probably won't mess around with that, though. Anything requiring mucking around in config files is probably off the table for the series, since people would ask "how do I do that, too?" And probably many/most of them wouldn't be comfortable editing a file directly like that.
@@Kurazarrh Understandable. I just edited my previous comment regarding bow staves. I wasn't finished watching...
also it's a bit cheaty. I wouldn't want to carry a gigantic chest on my back lol
I was excited when I saw a new episode, and now I can't wait for the cave exploration!
Hehe, awesome. Friday's episode is going to be a serious banger!
@@Kurazarrh awesome, I am also looking forward to the next episode. Cave exploration is difficult when dealing with drifters
Bless you for this series and your chill and wholesome as heck style. So refreshing!
Aww, thank you so much! :D Glad you're enjoying the series!
I completely thought you were having a go at us when you typed in "when will it stop raining" in the console command, but then it worked and I was like oh....ha! :D
Haha yeah, sometimes the commands are really esoteric... and then other times, they're weirdly literal!
I lit a brush fire earlier trying to get rid of a bunch of leaves and tule, ended up burning down half of my farm fence. It'll be scythe and shears going forward for me 😂
Uh-oh!!! Yeah, that'll do you in right quick! Glad it only got your fence!!
As usual constant uploads from @Kurazarrh making sure I get another 35 mins of procrastination in while I should be working :)
Hue hew hugh... It's what I do best! ;)
Yes we got more! Such a coxy series to play along with!
:D Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Dont run with Tongs , lmao. Dude I love this content, I've seen the future just by looking at your mods and I can't wait. Thanks for the Inspiration !
But how am I going to put anyone's eyes out if I don't run with tongs?!?! ;P Thanks for watching & commenting! :D
Smithing is so satisfying
It is a nice little minigame! Not so great when you need to pound out 100 metal plates, but for doing tools and such, it's a nice distraction and change of pace!
Made it all the way to the copper age doing a play along your videos!
Hey congratulations! :D
I love that the rain command is just /whenwillitstopraining lol
Hehe yeah it's very "it does what it says on the tin." XD
Hahaaa, once I was so depressed from the rain, I was nearly going to ask the game exactly THAT question!! "when will it stop raining?" I didn´t do it because I didn´t expected it to be so easy to ask and get an answer. Very weird :D , good to know. For your Let´s Play showing us some important features and the gameplay the rain however can be very annoying and noisy. Good to know, when it will be over :) !
Yeah, unfortunately we can't control the weather (at least not without Creative mode controls)... I wouldn't mind living somewhere with a bit LESS rain, though!!!
I love my recurve. I also use flint arrows for a really long time usually
It feels illegal to use flint arrows with a recurve bow! XD
@@Kurazarrh lol, I am not wasting my massive amount of ingots on arrow heads. Besides, a quick ten minute knapping session gives me plenty of arrows for a while. Especially for bear hunting.
@@skrepon13 I used to think metal arrowheads were a waste of material, but at 9 arrowheads per ingot, it's actually all right (even with the break chance). You're still getting, on average, about as many shots per ingot with arrows as you would if you had crafted them into spears, just a lot more inventory-friendly.
The other half of it being, if you really hate smithing arrowheads, you can always buy bronze arrows from Survival Goods traders! :)
I haven't messed with any config for my carryon and as long as you aim at the left side of the trunk you should be able to pick it up and slap it on your back, also loving the new guide series can't wait to see what you build next
Ahh, that would make sense. It also explains why when I was messing around with signs the other day that I couldn't put the sign on the trunk--I was probably aiming at the right side... Whoops!
Been loving your series I have been playing alongside in my own time, and love to compare how I'm doing with your guide.
Hey, that's really cool! :D Thanks for the kind comment!
3:13 Its fire enchanted 😏
Burn the grass! Burn it all!
@@Kurazarrh Precook your bread
Nice, very cool series, ty
:D Thank you!
wait, is /WHENWILLITSTOPRAINING a vanilla command? that‘s awesome 😂
Haha, yep!
Hey Kurazarrh, I started watching your most recent guide 2 videos a few weeks ago. Decided to go back to the start to watch you build that epic compound you call a base.
One question, I may have missed it, but can you put signs on double chests?
Love the game, love the videos!
Ps, my wife wants to know how you got a cat mask!
Awesome! I hope you're finding the early videos helpful and/or entertaining!
As for signs on double chests (aka trunks), you can't combine them in the crafting grid like with the regular chests, but you can attach a sign to the side (but the sign takes up block space since it's not part of the trunk model).
I got the cat mask in the Resonance Archive! (Shortly before episode 50). There are a few masks and things you can get there, though from what I've seen of other players, it looks like it's randomized, so you're not guaranteed a cat mask (but the marketeer's mask is a pretty good one, too).
Do you think the new beam blocks would look good as shelves for your chests?
They might work best as like, the edge of the shelf, since the beam blocks themselves are only about 1/4 or 1/5 of a block wide. We're not super flush with wood at the moment, so work with beams is probably going to have to wait for a bit!
👍
17:30 DANGER ZONE! buh duh duh duh duh, duhit, duh duh duh
Where did you get the glass before having a bloomerie ? I must have missed something in a past episode? Sorry i know this series was a while ago, do you remember?
I do remember, actually! ;) There is a way to acquire glass before having a bloomery (and even before obtaining a pickaxe!). The quartz you can find sitting on the ground, when you pick it up, has something like a 25% chance of being "clear quartz". Combine 2 clear quartz in the crafting grid with sticks arranged above, below, and on either side of it to get a "clear quartz glass block." It's a bit foggy, but it works well for basic windows!
@@Kurazarrh oooh awesome to know ! Thank you so much!
This may seem random but, why do lamellae molds look lie waffles?
Lamellar armor is basically a bunch of plates stacked on top of each other
With leather/clothing as padding underneath
I think the devs though the waffle pattern looked like a bunch of plates in a mold
You might need to ask Tyron that! I'm going to suspect that, while lamellae did come in various different shapes and sizes, representing them in a regular, tessellated shape in the game's style was easiest to represent clearly this way.
Either that, or we need to change the name of the armor to waffle armor!
Just to make sure with finding Dave, are you setting your view distance to the max amount? Dave is pretty shy towards low end systems :')
Haha, well the high view distance comes into play during the daytime, when you can max it out to see him in the distance. At the default view distance, he should be visible during storms except that it keeps raining or happening at night! XD
I really hope to see the space game you mentioned... lol. Sorry drawing blank on name.
love this series.
what are your thoughts about fan art? Specifically, like take vintage story or Stardew valley, they are in away a type of fan art, inspired, but different in their own right. When it comes to games there are so many examples, that includes songs, and movies, comics (Hyperion vrs Superman). The definition of art I use is very broad.
I'm already recording and editing videos for Starsector! ;) First one comes out Wednesday!
As for fan art and/or derivative work, I think it's fine and fun. Most of our ideas are in some way derivative or inspired by other people's ideas and observations, meshed with our own, etc, such that no work is truly "new and unique."
Very true.
does leaving tree stumps makes it regrow?
No, though I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mod that does that!
OK, I just have to ask. Can a rift appear in your house?
Technically, yes. However, just like in that other block game, you can keep them from spawning by lighting up the area! There are some other weird rules about their spawning, like requiring natural blocks and such, that can also keep them from spawning in an area.
#20Kuestions how do you do the 3rd person view where you face the camera? e.g. at 7:06 in this episode. When I do it my the camera looks at the back of my character's head
Are you sure you want to wait for me to answer this in a video? I certainly can if you want! (The #20Kuestions tag is specifically for that.)
@@Kurazarrh Oh, I guess I misunderstood! If you're willing to answer it here I certainly won't complain :)
@@jantona Haha, no problem. If you press F5 once, you get the "behind the head" camera. Press it again, and you can freely rotate the camera (though it starts out behind your head). Press it again to return to first-person view. If you want your character to look at the camera, there's a command you have to run and then restart your game. I'm not sure what the command is, though; I usually ask someone or search the official discord whenever I forget. XD
I think I have a problem...
35m of video is just enough to get me itching. With my laptop down atm, I am left jonesing for more!
#20kuestions How much scriptwriting is usual per episode?
Oh no! I hope you can get your laptop fixed or replaced soon!
Also, thanks for your question submission! It's been added to the list!
Combat is definitely the weakest part of VS. The bow is weirdly enough also way faster to attack with than most of the melee weapons, but imo all weapons deal way too little damage, relative to the health and density of enemies, which just invites people to cheese things. Also, I feel arrowheads should be salvageable from broken arrows too, since it's most likely that the shaft would break, not the actual tip - at least for metal ones.
100% agreed. Especially since there's basically no knockback mechanic or anything, it's just irritating when it takes 10+ hits to kill a nightmare drifter while you're being swarmed by enemies who also take 6+ hits to kill.
Part of me supposes that it might be Tyron's way of trying to indicate that "you're supposed to run, not fight," but then why do the tougher enemies have more rewards? And why do we encounter them in the places we need to go to regularly (deep underground) to get basic crafting materials?
@@Kurazarrh I don't mind some difficulty but spongy enemies isn't really the way to do that. It just makes things frustrating and I also don't feel too good about my gear when even steel weapons take ages to kill even basic enemies.
And yeah. If things are too annoyingly difficult then people simply won't go and explore, especially into caves or dungeons (especially if you use certain mods), or end up cheesing things to the point where it becomes even easier than just balancing the difficulty towards more of a fun gameplay aspect.
I heard they want to improve the combat though so hopefully there's something good coming in the future.
Very fancy with your new waffle armor!
Haha, indeed! Though once you turn the waffles into actual armor, it looks more like wicker or a screen.
@@Kurazarrh True! But I like that Vintage story has so many different armors. Nothing against the other block game, but I always missed such things as scale armor or even plate armor.
@@ShadowDragon1848 Yeah, that other block game is just less complicated in general, so it stands to reason the armors are also simpler. Though it DOES have chainmail... in a way. haha
The smithing in-game is very immersive
But carpentry isn't (well we really need to move out of the old grid crafting system)
Yeah, though I don't yet know how they could implement more immersive carpentry without making it annoying to use. If I had to run back to a specific functional block every time I wanted to make planks, I'd probably get annoyed, unless it was implemented like an easy-to-transport block like certain crafting stations in that other block game.
@@Kurazarrh I was thinking more like dynamic crafting (for autists that like extra steps)
For example you place down a stick on the ground then you use your knife to make a cut to attach the spear/arrowhead to the stick to get a spear/arrow
Or arrange the wood planks in different ways to make a chest and you could customize it by chiseling the planks
@@k3kr Oof, that would be a bit much for me, as far as building things goes. Realism is neat, but sacrifices need to be made to keep a game playable. That level of effort would probably turn me off unless it was graceful AND efficient.
@@Kurazarrh yeah it'll probably get annoying after a while.
The game already has a lot of grinding involved
But we still haven't really seen the automation part of the game yet
It's still an unexplored part of the game
The only form of automation we have is just a bunch of windmills that can run small scale errands
@@k3kr True, I think it would be NEAT to see a wind (or water) powered sawmill setup, as long as there's still a "slow" way that's not much slower than what we have today.
Ah crate, another chest guy.
If you're going to use metal on nails and strips you should at least go for trunks.
This comment exists solely for the "ah crate" joke.
XD
i have been watching from ep one to 10 and cant help but notice the British weather. is the game generally like this ? i cant help but recall in that other block game rain would be on average once per say 10 days, where as this it seems like a daily occurrence basically. is constant rainy weather a part of this games very nature and mechanics , something to brace for ?
It really depends on where you settle! If you open the character menu (I think it defaults to C), it'll show you the approximate local rainfall, from "Rare" to "Almost Always." I happened to settle somewhere that rain is "Very Common" so... yeah it be wet! XD
@@Kurazarrh thank you for the speedy answer ! i wasnt even sure ud reply given how old this video is
