25:50 I think it's important to remind everyone that when you put down one of your bags, anything that was in the corresponding slots in your inventory will be left behind with the bag. I've seen several new players forget that the bags *are* your inventory slots and lose items. It happens when they get a bigger bag, throw the old one on the ground, become confused at not being able to pick it up again because it has items in it, and allow it to despawn with everything inside it.
Great point! I think I touched on that back when we upgraded from reed baskets to the hunter's packs, but it's been a while both for me and the series, so the reminder is nice!
Just accidentally stumbled upon this game while browsing Humble Bundle (which I never do) and bought it. The depth of this game is phenomenal. Outstanding series you got, learned a lot by watching you.
I think nuisances can have value in survival games. As long as it's something you can overcome and stop from being a nuisance permanently. It makes progress feel more rewarding.
The "stop from being a nuisance permanently" is the part that I'm still waiting for. There are some threats that get downgraded once you have decent armor (like wolves) but I really need some kind of cologne that will keep them from attacking me in general... XD
@@Kurazarrh Would be nice to find a way, yes. But i was speaking generally. One good example is making the first windmill in better than wolves. You have to manually use a stone mill with a hand crank to process a lot of material to make the first windmill, but once you make the first one, you can hook the stonemill to the windmill and forget the handcraft forever. It takes a lot of time and food, since using the hand crank rapidly decreases your food meter. But you get a really high sense of acomplishment since it's a high jump in tech and you don't have to do it ever again.
@@Niyucuatro Ah, yes. Vintage Story has many similar progressions... also mostly associated with wind power! For me, nuisance reduction is more things like controlling mob spawns, and other interruptions that get in the way of doing whatever I'm trying to do. At some point, I just want to build without being bothered! XD
@@Kurazarrh Yeah, to make that in better than wolves you just build walls, and light areas or replace the surfaces for wood. Going out is still dangerous, but you can feasibly tame a region to be safe all day in it.
@@Niyucuatro That would be awesome in VS. The rifts that spawn drifters won't spawn in areas that have above a certain level of *artificial* light (they can spawn in broad daylight). But they won't spawn drifters unless the rift itself is in darkness. But if it is, it can spawn in drifters anywhere within 25 or so blocks, whether or not they're lit. So you need to light up a WIDE area around your home if you don't want drifters spawning inside your home or basement! >.
Hey man, been slowly watching an episode here and there between me playing myself and learning the game, and I wanted to say that I'm really enjoying your playthrough so far and it helps alot as well with figuring things out, or learning some tips that I have missed myself while progressing. You sound like a chill dude, thanks for making videos for us to watch!
I’m stuck right about here. Bees are hard to find. No borax or bauxite either. It’s hard to travel far enough enough in a day or two even without the dangers of wolves and creatures
It's a challenge, but if you can find a static translocator and repair it (assuming you have better luck than I do!) then it might open up new areas for you! Also, if you're traveling a long distance, my recommendation is, instead of carrying a crock with some food in it (or multiple crocks), just bring a cooking pot and your bowl. If you hunt every 3-4 days and pick up wild onions & berries, you can easily live off the land rather indefinitely on long outings! Bees are actually a lot more common than they seem, but finding them can be a challenge. If you have some good headphones (especially over-ear cans), wearing them while exploring can be a great help!
So, I just found this series like, yesterday, and I've been binging while working on keyboards for my fiance's etsy shop. Anyway, when you almost ran into that wolf, it made me think of this one time while streaming with my friend when I fell off a cliff and onto a wolf. Ran away screaming for my friend to rescue me lol. I'm enjoying listening and am looking forward to the rest of the series. :)
Haha that sounds like a traumatic experience! Meeting a wolf after breaking your ankles in a fall!! I'm glad you're enjoying the series. Thanks for watching & commenting!
Yeah, there's a certain level of mechanization. Right now there's only wind power, but there are mods for water wheels and other power sources. Tyron's road map for the game includes eventual steam power!
Mostly, I get terra preta by adventuring and just keeping my eyes open! Granted, we also got that surprise windfall in an earlier episode while digging the farms. I think you'll find that if you travel ~1-2km in a direction and back the same route a few times (say, on resource-gathering trips), you'll spot a few terra preta deposits along the way. It helps if you deviate from your route slightly, to get a marginally different angle on the terrain, while your brain gets used to the terrain and you have the mental space to look for resources (terra preta) instead of holes and other dangers!
Yes, deviate your traveling routs is an important thing, and at different times, you get different (sun)light angles, which makes it much more easier to find terra preta, when the light comes from behind you, as it then has a high contrast to the light brown soil. AND: Terra preta isn't that "holy grail" you need to have. You can grow crops on every soil as well, just a bit slower. With some fertilizer and daily watering with a water can, it's nearly the same. You can always exchange blocks later on, when you find terra preta somewhere. Patience is the key! ;)
Good question! I can only answer this question if you're on Windows, but if you go to your Vintage Story data location (default: %appdata%\vintagestorydata), your save files are located in \saves, and your backups are located in \backups. You can just copy the backup you want back into the saves folder and launch the game. It'll show up in the list of saved games.
IMHO, you need only a few (4 or 5), but mark their places and harvest every 4 days, which is important to get the tree producing new resin again. That will be just enough resin (20-30), when entering the "mechanical" age, to mechanize the basic machines.
I know that this is WAY too late to be useful but BORAX AT 16:07 on the little sand Island. Edit: And he found it at 26:30, all's well that ends well I guess.
Resin can be tough to find, and it's not in every pine forest! Mushrooms on trees should be fairly common but you'll have the most luck in oak forests, especially on the 2x2 trees.

you need to cut the leaves back higher up the trees for the resin ... it hides !

Looking forward to seeing how the bees work!
Oh we'll put them to work all right!
Another great episode! I look forward to this series continuing!
Thank you!! This series is so much fun to make, and the encouraging comments from everyone make it even better!
You got them skills on that bow.
:D 🏹🏹🏹
Who is "them"?
@@NipapornP It's an English idiom... Hard to explain, but it's a stand-in for "those" and is kind of backwater/hick-ish.

THERE IS MECHANISATION/MACHIENES????
OMG YES, GAME IS BOUGHT IN AN INSTANT
Yeah, there's a certain level of mechanization. Right now there's only wind power, but there are mods for water wheels and other power sources. Tyron's road map for the game includes eventual steam power!
@@Kurazarrh AYO SO COOL.
I GOTTA GET 18 EUROS SOMEHOW.
Also i really like your VSGuide, it really helpes me understand the game!
@@spekulatiu Thanks! I'm glad it's helpful!
That growl at 15:03 was really creepy.
Oh yeah. The sounds in this game can be absolutely hair-raising!
@@Kurazarrh Or even jump seat, when I think to the bells inside caves! ;)
The thing about items randomly disappearing:
Just reconnect (Ctrl + F1), and it fixes it.
Didn't know that.... Thanks for the tip!
How do you find so much Terra Preta??? I can barely find any! Must be with the Limestone...
Mostly, I get terra preta by adventuring and just keeping my eyes open! Granted, we also got that surprise windfall in an earlier episode while digging the farms.

@@Kurazarrh Yup! Will have to keep my eyes peeled! Anyways, I'm off for my VS recording this evening, and I'll mention you in it! Hope you don't mind!
@@Rakoona Good luck! And thank you for the shout-out! :)

Quick question: You showed how to back up your player data with /genbackup, but how do you restore it?
Good question! I can only answer this question if you're on Windows, but if you go to your Vintage Story data location (default: %appdata%\vintagestorydata), your save files are located in \saves, and your backups are located in \backups. You can just copy the backup you want back into the saves folder and launch the game. It'll show up in the list of saved games.
@@Kurazarrh Thanks. I don't have the game yet. If I had it, I would've seen the folder structure and figured it out myself. lol Much appreciation.
@@FrethKindheart Haha sure deal, no problem! :)
As far as I know they dropped the spawn rate of resin down to almost nowhere.
They did, but in 1.16.4, they bumped it back up again. Not sure exactly how high, but "2.5x" of what it was.
I'm also having trouble finding resin. It's probably with the Terra pretta lol
Haha, maybe buried underneath!
IMHO, you need only a few (4 or 5), but mark their places and harvest every 4 days, which is important to get the tree producing new resin again. That will be just enough resin (20-30), when entering the "mechanical" age, to mechanize the basic machines.

Haha, yep! That borax came in mighty useful! :D (eventually)
Bro, I had such a hard time finding resin, and have still never seen mushrooms on a tree :D lol
Resin can be tough to find, and it's not in every pine forest! Mushrooms on trees should be fairly common but you'll have the most luck in oak forests, especially on the 2x2 trees.
@@Kurazarrh :D yup thanks!
