Hey that's great! The intent is to publish both the VOD for folks who like big Vintage Story meals all at once, and then cut it up into these episodes for folks who like smaller bites. If you enjoy both, then go for it! :D

I hope to see you there! :)

Hey, I'm so glad you're enjoying the episodes! Thanks for letting me know!

Glad you like the vibe! I think some hanging and rooftop gardens are going to have to be in order, too!

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it! As for design plans, I don't talk about them until they're at least already in progress. Stay tuned to find out!

I'm looking forward to doing some serious building, myself! As for finding so much stuff--this series has the BetterRuins mod installed, so there are TONS more ruins, and most of them have somewhere between 5-20 times the loot you would find in a normal Vintage Story ruin!

@Kurazarrh I think I will do some digging first. 🤣 With my luck there will be nothing, but who knows. I know the ruins with the teleporter, btw. I built my latest home exactly opposite, in a granite biome, but my computer crashed and I lost it. It was a beautiful world, I liked it a lot. The first time I got to iron in a reasonable time. I watched your videos... 🤩 The next world I ended up in a biome .. Don't know what it was. A patchy world. ,Everything at once. I stopped at a big ruin and explored it. There was a trader, but there were signs of a big fight and lots of locusts. Dead and alive. I could not even loot this ruin. I looted a bit, mostly building materials, but at some point they overwhelmed me. Too many. I still settled there, if you count it all in it was a good place. Lots of mushrooms around the ruin, I had no food problem there in the middle of a desert. Strange ... I tried to hunt gazelles, but I had the same problem. They are too shy. One wrong move and they are gone. Reminds me of something ... Gone. Maybe the wind? Maybe I should eat mushrooms instead? Don't try this at home... Don't ride this lizard, it is... wicked. I have it on my shoulder. Keep your enemies closer than your friends. It's safer that way. It can't see anything. The tattoo artist fucked it up. It's too low. Maybe I should do the snake next to it? 🤣 To take care of the kids? Would that help? This tattoo is not what I wanted it to be. It needs repairs. I will alter it, at least it has to be a real lizard. The king is ... nothing but a clown. I'm afraid of caves - and the dark, I forgot that. VS reminded me, in a very personal way. It is very hard for me to enter caves, I hate them. They feel like mazes, and I hate mazes too. I know they can be helpful, they lead to destiny, but sometimes ... often .... it's just dark. And scary. And drifters. It's nice that Tyron & Co had fun. I don't. I really loathe them. VS is the best survival game when the sun shines. In the dark ... not so much. People who trust nobody for good reason and don't ask for help... Primal fear. The deep, mazes, the dark where the monsters are. T​hey scare me. Deep water? I hate you. May Cathulhu teach you how to treat your strange offspring. Just leave them be, they will learn on their own. They will find a way. Dogs help a lot, he was a good teacher, butä the dog is long gone. My mother made him go away. He broke her arm, but it was her own fault. Dont't move if a friendly animal charges you. They won't harm you. She did. Turned and he was confused. And he payed the price. She always hated him. Because I loved him. My black demon. He taught me not to fear the dark. Turned out he missed the caves. There are no caves where I live. There are caves in my live, but he could not follow me there. Barbarossa. My father was born on the foot of that mountain. I wonder if the ravens still fly. I had enough of the dark in real life. I too put a light into every corner, try to avoid the dark. Some monsters are real. Maybe I should try again to enter the deep caves. Sometimes you find treasures. Last time I chickened. And ended that world. I found iron and forgot the wheel. I never dared to go there again. Nightmare drifters with cloth armor? No way. I started a new world. With a teleporter right in front of my nose, thanks to better ruins. And it crashed after I built the windmill. I was proud of my build. I'm not good at building in 3d, but your videos taught me a lot. I felt much more confident, and my last built was much better. Not a mud hut for ages. That was after the previous game stole all my lumber. Don't know what that was. I came back from a journey and all the wood was gone. I built your blacksmith from your first season. With a high tower and tons of oak. I liked that too. I found a dead forest not far away and cut a lot of oak, enough for that build. To see it all gone was devastating. It is still somewhere, but I was done with this world. It was too painful. And then I discovered an old game... The white wolf. And I got stuck. So many decisions, so many memories... Too busy to play games 🤣 Love. 🥰

Just doing what I do best! XD

Sometimes - maybe everytime - the shiny things find their way to a new home. Sometimes it's a gravestone. Sometimes it's somebody else who takes the crown. It just takes some time. In my DnD game I buried all the tools and escaped the daddy issues my DM constructed for me. I cut the bond, a blood oath does'nt scare me anymore. As a druid level 13 I don't need tools. I can survive naked, if nessecary. Blood bonds? I command elements, blood is nothing compared to that. 🤣 I can send them to hell, I just need a fork worth 250 gold. I will ask my companion what he values his favourite fork. No time for the games of my DM. He will hate me, but who cares. We will have fun and he has to play along. He will recover, he always does. He likes to play and he is better at losing than most. I move away and I have to end my path. And I will go in style after 5 years.

I think it's an interesting idea, but it might be the straw that breaks the camel's back for a lot of folks who just want a minimap. Personally, given that we already have both parchment and pigments, color maps should be a relative no-brainer. Though I think pigments should be available from some traders (malachite and cinnabar are not currently for sale to my knowledge).

I'm familiar with it, yeah. I'm not sure I'll use it, though. I'll just try to do my clayforming in bite-sized pieces and get the molds done over time. Since we don't need much in the way of crocks, at least that issue should be obviated!

Great ideas! As for the trader, those certainly can spawn in the middle of water--even hot springs! Which does make them a bit dicey to get to!

That might be a pretty good solution to the panning problem, yeah.

Oh man. Super-arid playthroughs are challenging!

The thing in Vintage Story is that if he did place sand underneath the fences in the water, the crops wouldn't be watered as in VS, the farther away you are from water, the less moisture that crops get. I could be wrong tho 😮

Haha, you're over-thinking it, @zafriax ... I just ran out of sand and didn't want to spend time digging up any more sand... :X

Oh man, I forgot you can do that now! XD

Mm, that might be a good addition, to speed up the bookmaking process! I'll take a look around for that once we get closer to needing that!

I'm working on that! Sometimes Streamer Brain takes over and I forget, but I've been trying to get into that habit!

*Gasp!* You said The Word! Noooooooooooo! ;) Nah, nothing legal, it's just a community joke (not started by Rhadamant) that we don't say the other block game's name... As if it's some kind of curse word. But also it kind of acknowledges just how big that other block game is--you don't even need to say the name, and people know EXACTLY what you mean.
