oooo like after a nice long day of work :)

Time to make some armour i guess! (I have my storage full of food)

the main reason I chose to settle at this particular location in spite of multiple forests nearby and the deadly winters is because it's got surface peridotite and there's ample veins of hematite below the ground. because my friends decided to all settle elsewhere but don't have any iron sources nearby their bases im basically in control of the server's iron supply

If you want an in-between, you have 2 good options. Chain can later be upgraded to plate so it's good if you get worn out making the materials. This way you have above average armor and can still upgrade it. The second is brigandine. It's a lot cheaper and thus also quicker and easier to make than many and can still offer good protection. The down side is that it can't be upgraded.

Get it, you won't completely regret the lost time. All work and no play...

Do it.

@@tehNashty It took me two weeks to cave in... playing it right now!

There's a world setting to turn of class requirements for special recipes. You can also do that if you feel you'll enjoy it more.

You're welcome. :)

Animals dont die from lack of food, but they do lose weight and have less drops when skinned as a result.

Wrong kind of pelt. You need to cure the hide with fat first

@@MischiefofMice thank you ! You are a god send lol I spent so long trying to figure out why it wouldn't work lol love the content btw keep it up just got vintage story a few weeks ago and loving it

It's armor vs damage tier related.

If you can find any, plant it asap. Often when harvesting you will get more seeds than you started with.

@@MischiefofMice Just found one. Thanks for the hint!

@@Malitwa-654 I like to make flax farms in the early game and also dig a flat spot underground to harvest drifters. I will use a waterway to force them towards the kill hole.

@@tehNashty I never have gotten Flax fibers from drifters tbh

@@Malitwa-654 I get the feeling that you avoid drifters, especially ones that live deep down. Surface drifters don't drop much, deep drifters sometimes drop flax, the rest drop some and the really bad ones always do.

Nah, it's just difficult to time it right, but it is possible. Just make sure you plan this out and be prepared, because the predators don't wait until you build a nerd pole

@uncolored2060 I managed to do it today lol. But yeah my strategy is to run like he'll from Predators and jump. Jump a lot Use water to slow them down behind me or jump up blocks for that extra half a second it takes for them to do the same lol. Well... until I declared war on the wolves and bears near my base by generously applying a liberal application of increased gaseous heat to multiple foliages and arbors in an attempt to stem the tide of beasts and gain some visibility. ... I burned the forest down with a torch. 😂 it worked.... _phenomenally_ Way better than I had expected actually. Lol

@@alexanderrahl7034 is burning stuff safe in this game?

@uncolored2060 you _can_ set stuff on fire. And that includes your house if it's made of logs or wood. But honestly, unless you're a pro at the game, I doubt you're making your house out of those since it's so resource intensive in the early to mid game. But you can probably protect yourself by building a stone wall or a fire break if you're worried. I was only minorly concerned about our base when I did it. But we had a stone wall and a moat I dug (because of bears. They can climb up 4 to 5 blocks high) so I figured we would be safe. I also should point out, i had to light many fires. I was running through setting as many trees and bushes alight as I could, spacing them out every 5 to 10 blocks or so. When it was over, a huge swathe of the forest was burned, and several families of pigs, wolves, bighorns, and chickens as well as other animals had all died in groups and I harvested their meat. It was really surprising actually. We scrambled like mad to make fires and crocks to cook and preserve it all before it spoiled and we managed to fill almost 10 crocks worth of food.

@@alexanderrahl7034 fun fact: primitive (not really, but them too) people used to burn huge patches of tall grass and bushes for a nice, clean piece of land BEFORE they started building (it was for farms and such, or even for huge villages) So that's another thing this game is realistic at

The what now?
