@@Oscillascape generate creative map 25000x25000, place about 2500 schematics of island, and removing "creative" land peace by peace (1000x1000) blocks. It take me about 150-200hours. Everything is in creative.
In the beginning of the video, preferably during the setup and explanation I'd love to have seen a summary of what the starter chest contains. It kinda feels weird getting introduced to the items inside the chest if the player is like: "To break the blocks I used the copper pickaxe from the starter chest." "I was getting hungry, so I just grabed the food from the starter chest." "I also used the copper hammer privided by the starter chest."

@@Daniel-uo5lm fair enough. The starter chest was basically the same as the ones in the skyblock maps on the Vintage Story mod page. I will add it to the description of the video.

Good eye finding the Easter egg in the thumbnail! Thanks for the kind words.

It's probably not even the best way to do it, it's just a way that I came up with. Looking forward to your new video!
Someone should make an animated video of "what would skyblock look like in real life." How big would the island have to be in order to reasonably house an ecosystem suitable for "end game human society?" What would the weather be like with no ocean? If the planet is no longer a spinning ball of earth, would the winds exist, what about no magnetic fields? How many feet of soil is actually required in order for trees to grow strong and healthy? If the only requirements for skyblock is that the end game can be reached, what even would the ecosystem have to be in order to sustain human development? What is the ratio of human innovation? How many people have to live off the land in order to reach the end game in a timely fashion? Would there be birds and worms and insects galore. What actually is the most space efficient ecosystem that is capable of producing all the resources necessary for healthy humans? How would we get iron or bronze or copper etc? Would we have to form hypercomplex systems for drawing out these materials from the soil, is there even a way to do so without the prerequisites being hyper industrialized equipment?

Would you be interested in being a guest on the second episode? Tyron agreed to do the first one. I would love to pick your brain about Vintage Story, Streaming, RUclips and other things.
ah! I think i know what happened with the door. It can be one of two things. I also use the autopanning mod and sometimes it will "Miss" and right click any right-clickable object within its range. Doesnt seem to be a feature, just a bug. This will happen more frequently during alt-tabbing or while switching between hotbar slots. The other thing it could be is theres a setting in Dana's Tweaks that allows drifters to open doors. Im not sure if its set on or off by default, but if you do use dana's tweaks it is possible that the setting was turned on.
you can make your farmland two blocks wide to be more space efficient as each block only needs to be touching one thing of water. an even more efficient design would be to place a water block with two blocks of farmland in each direction then another water block at the end and just repeat that over and over.
@@BiggestBrother I wasnt too worried about being efficient. I am aware of the soil tech you are referring to. Keep those tips coming though, I learn something every time from comments.

i gotta admit, it aint perfect, its rough in spots, its still in infancy but this? is a proper start to a good skyblock modpack for vintage story VS is a great game, and its modding community is talented, but it needs a standout pack to really get things in gear (and a better way to buy it lmfao but thats not in our hands) really hope to see more of this in the future
Dude love these long form heavy effort vids but we need something regular. Upload hour long livestream vods. Something low effort then chop it all up and put your flavour on it for a big complete release like these. Keep going 🎉
I will be doing more regular content. It will probably not be gameplay based though. Eventually I am on board to stream as well but not in my current living situation. But I hear you. I wish I had more free time 😉
Hey mate! I just watched your video. Totally awesome! Thank you for sharing this. I learned that I could produce more soil, sand, and boney soil from this. I was worried that in my game if I used up all the same then I wouldn't get any more. I have been planning to play my game in the long term so when I use up resources I always try to replace them so that I would never run out.
I recently discovered Vintage Story (only videos) at it's so hard to avoid the Minecraft that's hard coded into my mind. Like, I was thinking: why would you make obsidian without diamonds...
This is far beyond what I should expect when I get it, but: Do I get Vintage Story? It’s been getting my interest. I remember being obsessed with survival comics as a child, and this game looks very promising.
Are you a gamer? Do you have any experience playing survival games? Those could be the questions to ask. But if it looks interesting, I would say dive in. The game is fairly inexpensive, granted by Western nations standards!
@@Oscillascape Yes, I do play games a lot. And I mean A LOT. I plan to actually dive into it youtube-wise someday. Well, if it’s inexpensive, it doesn’t hurt to try. Thanks!
@@Oscillascape Well, I certainly didn't expect my first day in the game to be running off my entire food bar to find flint, but it sure was! This is gonna be an interesting experience. Still, I thank you for introducing me to it.
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 really? Is that really a thing? I still don't know if that's a bug or some weird interaction with the auto panning mod clicking the door.
The most likely reason your panning room door opened was because you moused over it in your inventory while autopanning and the mod rightclicked on the door.
@ so basically you can use the Large Wooden Gear on the down shaft from the windmill with a regular angled gear on the axle to the helvehammer to make it run faster at the cost of less torques
@@omegahaxors9-11I am kind of a noob when it comes to gearing. I wish there were good tutorials on it. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet, learn and then make a quality one!
@@Oscillascape It's easy. Power in the bottom and out the side turns torque into speed and power into the sides and out the bottom makes turns speed into torque. The ratio is 1:4 both ways.
It’s a great game, and if you want that excitement you felt when you first played MC, check it out. But don’t assume it’s a clone, it’s tough and engaging and beautiful and I simply never went back to MC again.
Hello there, would you be interested in playing a SkyBlock meets One Block kind of map in VS? I'm cooking the map right now using command blocks. It is kinda chill. Needs no mods, though QoL mods and autosifter would make a more pleasant experience. The main concept is to use regenerating blocks like in One block maps (i tried to make a random one block but failed to implement it so far, so I went with the easier thing of adding different regenerating blocks(some do it fast, some with a delay for balancing reasons) to a skyblock like map with different islands and progression gated behind metal tools. The map goal is to reach steel and along the way get access to most of content possible from normal gameplay, but in a skyblock. If you have any other map ideas using regenerating blocks One Block style, would be nice to discuss it.
I am also thinking of some map, where you get resources you need by surviving in the arena with enemies. I think it is possible to pull it off with current functionality of command blocks. Make some sorts of home area where you prepare and then go for a run to get as much resources as you can from an instance before you either die or escape. Though this kind of map gonna take quite some time to do and probably gonna need to find some dedicated builder for decorations
@@polygonfighter6600 the community calls him Dave. We don't really know what that thing is though. We suspect it's some rust world creature/entity/god.
@@omegahaxors9-11 i just cranked the exposure by 2x, otherwise it's the same texture. The default obsidian was so dark that you couldn't see anything at night even with a lantern. It kind of bricked my initial Skyblock run.
@@Oscillascape The games textures overall suffer from undersaturation. This is fine for a lot of blocks but it really shows on others, especially with how phenomenal the lighting system is. You almost can't appreciate how good the lighting is with how washed out everything ends up looking.
@@Oscillascape maybe with a bigger map sized you could have a 3 biome starting archipelago. One volcano with hot spring moat, one flying iceberg, and one garden But maybe thats too much.
@@beefr0mi105 Yes, I have everything listed in the description of the video. The welcoming mat is part of Still Useful Stuff mod.

It got integrated into the mod at some point, but it's not well documented.

actually cool, great effort on your part, but i hate the textures, like actually, and in the end, i could only handle 10 minutes of high res block textures
Yes you can but it's also not reliable. I tested such tech in creative and found that the goodies will often get stuck in the stream. There are ways to bypass it but you need like a 9 hopper design, I couldn't have recreated it in this playthrough. Maybe someone smarter can come up with better tech.
@@rpcharly7611 yes it does, but it only pans a single item from a whole block, when you get 6 items per hand pan or the auto sifter. I couldn't afford to lose 6x efficiency.
@@catdarkness2434 I'll consider doing it as a side video. Meanwhile if there is interest I can let people download all the modified code in a mod pack!

@@Oscillascape English is so messed up with contradictory rules that no English teacher stands a chance of teaching more than 10%. Mine was good but that was in the 1960's. I have dyslexia so I notice these things.
When you build a charcoal pit you can take out 3 of the 4 firewood from the firepit to save a bit of wood (at least you could do it in 1.18 the last version i played).

if i'm being honest i really wish the base game had a "floating island" mode. or at least that someone made a "floating island mod" that made all the needed changes to play this kind of runs. i wish. keeping the modlist updated may end up being nightmare-ish between versions but a "single mod" would be less painful. i swear if i knew anything about programming i would try myself but i'm as dumb as a donkey in that regard.
I LOVE YOU!
I will be releasing a zip file with all the mods and modifications I made with instructions on how to install to be able to recreate this run. Maybe that will interest you?!
@@Oscillascape a lot!
@@JoachimVampire stay tuned for updates. I will try to put something together this weekend.
@@Oscillascape just saw this and ill def be one waiting for it now as well :3 this looks like some fun challenge
I made a skyblock map that needs no mods, you can find it on vintage story moddb
I was binge watching some vintage story videos yesterday and literally thought of sky block and how would it been done, so thank you very much for this video
@@gonelord5327 of course! It's just my vision on how it can be done. Maybe others will come up with their own progression loops!
I hope that vintage story will get sooo popular, so many will subscribe to you
@@Joebanana6969 it seems to be on the up and up! But regardless, I like where I am now. I like the community nice and small:)!
How did I miss you posting this for 7 hours what the heck! Now I gotta lock in and watch this start to finish!
P.S. Never listen to the haters! Keep on being awesome!
@@zacharycabrera7410 thanks! I try to take haters with a grain of salt and it's such a small minority. Most people that watch me, leave me such sweet and motivating comments.
@Oscillascape that's because your content is really good! And you aren't forcing anything like some content creators do! Just doing what's fun for you! The experience is always more fun when you actually know the person behind the camera is actually enjoying what they're doing! And it isn't just entirely in pursuit of popularity/money
@@zacharycabrera7410 that's true. I am just a dude enjoying playing games and making videos. Hopefully that's a trend that will continue.
@@Oscillascape I don't doubt it either! Keep on being awesome!
@@zacharycabrera7410 ❤️
this video was great! such a fun idea and you put so much work into it
@@aaronnagtegaal2008 it did take more work then usual. Mostly to set up all the mods and make the map.
Oo, a new youtuber I've found. I can already tell I found a new hidden gem. I knew strip mining would work soon, now I got to show my friends my new favorite youtuber gem
@@TopHattedTitan-b4z wow thanks! I promise to keep being humble and putting my passion forward!
34:00 yooooo I love redwood
A shame you literally have to wait half an eternity to harvest a single tree
Yes their growth speed is stupidly slow even with extra fast speed like in this video.
i gotta admit, it aint perfect, its rough in spots, its still in infancy
but this? is a proper start to a good skyblock modpack for vintage story
VS is a great game, and its modding community is talented, but it needs a standout pack to really get things in gear (and a better way to buy it lmfao but thats not in our hands)
really hope to see more of this in the future
It's a proof of concept more than anything else!
Great video, I liked the panning simulator 😂
@@rpzcsonli too real of a comment 🤣
you nailed it with this one mate
Thanks mate! I am good with a hammer.
Dude love these long form heavy effort vids but we need something regular. Upload hour long livestream vods. Something low effort then chop it all up and put your flavour on it for a big complete release like these. Keep going 🎉
I will be doing more regular content. It will probably not be gameplay based though. Eventually I am on board to stream as well but not in my current living situation. But I hear you. I wish I had more free time 😉
Okay, this sounds awesome as all hell. I'm in for watching this, lmfao.
Let's do it 🙏
Hey mate! I just watched your video. Totally awesome! Thank you for sharing this. I learned that I could produce more soil, sand, and boney soil from this. I was worried that in my game if I used up all the same then I wouldn't get any more. I have been planning to play my game in the long term so when I use up resources I always try to replace them so that I would never run out.
You will need Not Enough Sand and Expanded Matter mods to be able to craft soil, it's not a baseline mechanic!
@@Oscillascape I guess it's a good thing that the map is huge and that running out of resources will take someone 200 lifetimes :)
Ah finaly another vintige story video i cant wait to watch it ! ❤
@@vipertoxic8593 aww, that's very sweet. Take your time, it isn't going away!
Idk who Misha was but Im sure they would feel honored
@@nick11crafter my brother, and he would be proud. He was the reason I started RUclips in the first place!
Love this series!
@@sergioxd7232 happy to hear that! There will be more videos.
do you think that Drifters throw rocks too much?
I do yes. In my recent video I suggested adding ranged drifters and taking rock tossing away from everyone else!!
I recently discovered Vintage Story (only videos) at it's so hard to avoid the Minecraft that's hard coded into my mind.
Like, I was thinking: why would you make obsidian without diamonds...
Haha, I get that. I play the game very Minecraft like myself. It's hard to kill old habits. Pretty much none play the game like I do because of that.
I would love to try this out great video!
@@catdarkness2434 it's a bit complicated to setup, but if people ask, I can just pack all the mods together and let people download them!
Can you do a 200 days continuation of this video please!!!
@@lukaspeciura6225 maybe 🤔
This is far beyond what I should expect when I get it, but:
Do I get Vintage Story? It’s been getting my interest. I remember being obsessed with survival comics as a child, and this game looks very promising.
Are you a gamer? Do you have any experience playing survival games? Those could be the questions to ask. But if it looks interesting, I would say dive in. The game is fairly inexpensive, granted by Western nations standards!
@@Oscillascape Yes, I do play games a lot. And I mean A LOT. I plan to actually dive into it youtube-wise someday.
Well, if it’s inexpensive, it doesn’t hurt to try. Thanks!
@@Oscillascape Well, I certainly didn't expect my first day in the game to be running off my entire food bar to find flint, but it sure was! This is gonna be an interesting experience. Still, I thank you for introducing me to it.
Really cool video I'm also looking forward to other games you're going to play.(I also wanted to ask who misha is?)
@@Banana_12490 my brother. I want to play other games but Vintage Story is so goddamn addictive.
@Oscillascape I'm sorry to hear that your loss must've been difficult
@@Banana_12490 thank you! It indeed sucked. He inspired me to do RUclips in the first place. Hence my dedication to him.
Fun fact: Parsnips are actually poisonous to pigs!
That is a fun fact! I take it back, sorry for doubting you piggies.
Let’s go new upload! 🙌
@@Amieee a new upload indeed!
btw yes it's because you used a rough door that the drifters eventually broke through
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 really? Is that really a thing? I still don't know if that's a bug or some weird interaction with the auto panning mod clicking the door.
@@Oscillascape at least from what i know rough doors are cheaper to make precisely because they can be broken through for balance
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 more testing needed!
nice video mate
@@Czech-Dummass nice comment mate 👍
First time ive ever seen a skyblock where people *wanted* obsidian
@@ShakeNB1ake I know right. Obsidian was the name of the game.
Freaking awesome!
I know right 👍
The most likely reason your panning room door opened was because you moused over it in your inventory while autopanning and the mod rightclicked on the door.
@@DragooKnight I am 99% sure that's what it was. 👍
This is super cool but is there a reason you weren’t using a gear reduction with your wind mills
@@mintw4241 I am bad at gears, please explain. Someone needs to make an actual guide for those.
@@Oscillascape a youtuber called Chumber has a really good tutorial making a transmission, check it out!
@ so basically you can use the Large Wooden Gear on the down shaft from the windmill with a regular angled gear on the axle to the helvehammer to make it run faster at the cost of less torques
When using wind power on the quern it's best to use a large gear to step down the torque which makes it spin much faster.
@@omegahaxors9-11I am kind of a noob when it comes to gearing. I wish there were good tutorials on it. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet, learn and then make a quality one!
@@Oscillascape It's easy. Power in the bottom and out the side turns torque into speed and power into the sides and out the bottom makes turns speed into torque. The ratio is 1:4 both ways.
Why does a Minecraft clone look so fun
@@MsBluebl cause it's based on a great game!
It’s a great game, and if you want that excitement you felt when you first played MC, check it out. But don’t assume it’s a clone, it’s tough and engaging and beautiful and I simply never went back to MC again.
Hello there, would you be interested in playing a SkyBlock meets One Block kind of map in VS? I'm cooking the map right now using command blocks. It is kinda chill. Needs no mods, though QoL mods and autosifter would make a more pleasant experience. The main concept is to use regenerating blocks like in One block maps (i tried to make a random one block but failed to implement it so far, so I went with the easier thing of adding different regenerating blocks(some do it fast, some with a delay for balancing reasons) to a skyblock like map with different islands and progression gated behind metal tools. The map goal is to reach steel and along the way get access to most of content possible from normal gameplay, but in a skyblock. If you have any other map ideas using regenerating blocks One Block style, would be nice to discuss it.
I am also thinking of some map, where you get resources you need by surviving in the arena with enemies. I think it is possible to pull it off with current functionality of command blocks. Make some sorts of home area where you prepare and then go for a run to get as much resources as you can from an instance before you either die or escape. Though this kind of map gonna take quite some time to do and probably gonna need to find some dedicated builder for decorations
Kinda sad that map making in VS is currently non existent, there arent even a section for maps yet.
Anyway I've dropped the map on vs moddb. "neo skyblock"
I think I would yes. Are you planning to add it to the mod page? Where do you plan to host it?
Cool, I will check it out for sure at some point! The more the merrier, thanks for contributing to the modding scene.
as someone new to vintage story:
HOLD ON WHAT IS THAT THING AT 48:27 ???
@@polygonfighter6600 the community calls him Dave. We don't really know what that thing is though. We suspect it's some rust world creature/entity/god.
@@Oscillascape reading on the lore, I guess maybe he's apart of whatever caused the rust world or sent visions of the machines like the locusts
I like the custom texture for obsidian, looks a lot more vibrant which is something the base game kinda sucks at.
@@omegahaxors9-11 i just cranked the exposure by 2x, otherwise it's the same texture. The default obsidian was so dark that you couldn't see anything at night even with a lantern. It kind of bricked my initial Skyblock run.
@@Oscillascape The games textures overall suffer from undersaturation. This is fine for a lot of blocks but it really shows on others, especially with how phenomenal the lighting system is. You almost can't appreciate how good the lighting is with how washed out everything ends up looking.
Some like that more.
Now its time to do a skygrid 100days sometime in the future.
@@phoenixhubbard8745 what's a skygrid?!
Make "immortal Boiling water" craftable so boiler grinders could be made
That's a fun idea. Maybe a special item in the starter chest! Maybe a crafting recipe.
@@Oscillascape maybe with a bigger map sized you could have a 3 biome starting archipelago.
One volcano with hot spring moat, one flying iceberg, and one garden
But maybe thats too much.
Im fairly certain that pigs would eat the fruit mash.
They do eat fruit mash!
love your videos
@@malcolm-j6t love your comments ❤️
can you release a guide on how and what you made this map with?
@@ewa8723 I probably will! The response has been great so, I will most likely put something together for the community.
It sounds like 100 days of drifter hell.
@@chitin122 very close to how it actually played out!
Tahnks
@@the.pfonix you welcome!;)
i mean i GUESS the game started as a minecraft mod....
@@Phreias yes it has! And now the game supports mods and modders. It's a wonderful circle of life!
So you didn't eat cattail roots to avoid eating turnips and berries, and didn't give grass to the pigs?
Wait, why are your glass blocks generating a lens effect?
I have a shader mod in my mod list. Check it out! It's in the video's description if you want to know the name.
You can't feed pigs grass anymore. And I forgot about cattail roots, that could have been useful!
@@Oscillascape oh no, not the cheaty graaaassss
Are the summoning stations a mod? How can I get this for my server I’d like to build a cool village
@@beefr0mi105 Yes, I have everything listed in the description of the video. The welcoming mat is part of Still Useful Stuff mod. It's actually not listed in the list of features, but if you look up a welcoming mat on google you will find an older forum post that has details on how it works. It got integrated into the mod at some point, but it's not well documented.
How come you're able to replant your crops over and over in the same place? Are you using a fertilizer?
@@jedih8526 look at the description of the video, I list my mods there. It was a farming mod that did that. I wasnt expecting that behavior myself, but then I just rolled with it.
How'd you keep yourself sane through all that panning? This would have broken me
@@the_mangerine watching Netflix 🤔
actually cool, great effort on your part, but i hate the textures, like actually, and in the end, i could only handle 10 minutes of high res block textures
@@groblivsochbauggr what do you mean hi res? Those are the default vintage story textures?
@Oscillascape those defaults look like they are actually just ripped from a 'HD' texture/resource pack from Minecraft
I would love to play this with some buddies and if possible a map code or mod pack would be nice.
@@diablonoble9016 what's a map code?
Could you use flowing water to lead the auto sifter products into the hopper like in Minecraft?
Yes you can but it's also not reliable. I tested such tech in creative and found that the goodies will often get stuck in the stream. There are ways to bypass it but you need like a 9 hopper design, I couldn't have recreated it in this playthrough. Maybe someone smarter can come up with better tech.
bro useful stuff mod has a sluice you can use
@@rpcharly7611 yes it does, but it only pans a single item from a whole block, when you get 6 items per hand pan or the auto sifter. I couldn't afford to lose 6x efficiency.
You can probably remove lava with falling gravel or sand
@@SeigiEmiya interesting idea. I need to test it now.
Can you give us the configs so we can play this too?
@@Script2096 You right, I should. Life has been a little crazy. Keep your eyes open for an update, I'll try to work on it tonight.
I would like you to do a tutorial on how to get this set up please
@@catdarkness2434 I'll consider doing it as a side video. Meanwhile if there is interest I can let people download all the modified code in a mod pack!
I would definitely be interested in a modpack, and whatever else I would need to start this from vanilla.
@@NiteHunter13T sounds good. Thanks for letting me know! I'll work on it.
I’m interested in that too after seeing your video I did try and get it set up myself and couldn’t get it done
@@catdarkness2434 it's not that easy 😭
can we get links to the music used in the video?
@@glitchtabby it's from artlist.com website, designed for creators to pay for music in their videos. I will put the artists and songs in the description at some point today, not sure how easy they will be to find outside of the site though.
