My biggest problem is, that once I build a nice looking building, I want every other building to look at least as good. And on previous saves that has straight up paralyzed me at times, because I've built something nice looking and then couldn't get myself to build anything more (even if it's stuff I needed to progress) because what if it doesn't look as nice?
>Damn shame this game has no npc in single player.. Except traders that is.
Yeah I've been thinking about this ever since playing medieval dynasty, more of these games need NPCs. It always feels so weird to build a big castle or some shit and then be the only person living in it.

What is a "carbine"? First time I ever see that word.

>>558316324
It’s a long rifle that has had its barrel drastically shortened.
It basically sacrifices range for maneuverability.

>>558317089
So... a long rifle with a short barrel? That sound unintuitive. What kind of situation would require higher maneuverability? Fighting in tunnels or in a building?

>>558317325
Basically yeah, it’s also lighter and easier to transport.

>>558316324
short answer it's a smaller, lighter rifle (shorter barrel is the main thing)
easier to move with especially in tight spaces, less precise at sufficiently long ranges
sort of a few notches closer to an smg

>>558317494
I see. Something between an assault rifle and a submachine gun, then?

Tried Shadow of the Matrix.
I'm not quite sure why there's even a demo, the game doesn't even feel like it's in alpha. It feels like a bunch of random assets together.
I could go in, but it's an indie game, so I feel bad about tearing it to pieces.

Obra Dinn's OST is surprisingly good.

I'm mad that the only game I know with a lot of cosmetic options is the very predatory Conan Exiles.
I remember playing Enshrouded and trying to make a Roman-styled villa, but it didn't have enough options for it. It came out as a Germanic take on a Roman mansion.

>>558359714
Who's forcing you to stay in one place?
Granted a full nomadic playthrough is probably difficult, though with the elk and boat I can imagine carring enough supplies for quite some distance.
I once ahd the idea for a playthrough, where I move whenever I make a big enough jump in technology potentially with the bonus rule that I have to survive in each one for at least a year, though that might be too boring, so I can have multiple bases each looking period appropriate, without having to tear down my mudhut once I get into metalurgy. The idea is currently on hiatus, but feel free to steal it.
Or you could build and expanding network of outposts and connect them with roads. Maybe embark on a journey to one of the poles.
I've set my current world to
>Landcover: 50%
>Landcover scale: 300%
during generation. I've only explored a tiny bit of it in noclip, before resetting to make sure I dialed the settings in correctly and so far it has fiven me a very nice ratio between vast oceans and big continents. So you bet I'll be exploring the oceans and settling far off lands as soon as I can.

>The sheer amount of infrastructure needed to build a boat means you ahve to settle in one place.
fair enough, though you could also use that to "trick" your brain into accepting not constantly moving on, you know? At the end of the day it's probably the same phenomenon that makes people never finish games because they keep starting new ones, or never get far into an RPG because they're constantly thinking of restarting with a new class. Our brains crave and reward novelty, so focusing on a single thing (be that a single game, or a single location in an exploration game or whatever) can feel very broing sometimes, because the gratification of building a cool base or whatever is delayed compared to the instant gratification of going out and finding new shit.
>where setting outposts have sense.
I mean in a creative game like VS it still relies on you setting your own goals to some extent, but if you want to travel to the pole for instance, then outposts are definitely useful as a place where you can store supplies, hold out for the winter and prepare for exploring further out.

>>558363449
You tried that npc mod? I wish VS had some Npc's, i disdain playing MP but playing sp can be boring and the sheer amount of work one needs to be doing is clearly meant for multiple people.
>At the end of the day it's probably the same phenomenon that makes people never finish games because they keep starting new ones, or never get far into an RPG because they're constantly thinking of restarting with a new class.
Been there done that - i have like 500hrs in Skyrim and i never got past the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller quest.

I'm curious how you fucker plan to play VS online. I'm playing it solo and I struggle hard to not starve to death.

>>558363051
Yes

>>558364379
Well isnt survival in MP easier?
You have multiple people that can do multiple things at once, unlike in sp where you are flying solo.

>>558364439
I played it like 3 years ago I think it went through a few changes
interesting

>>558364515
You also have more mouths to feed, and animals aren't easier to hunt online.

>>558364515
In default VS settings you eat a lot. Unless settings are adjusted everyone will be spending most of their time foraging or hunting

>>558364610
True but you get multiple people so conversly farming, foraging, animal husbandry AND hunting is easier and can be done all at once.
There is a raeason why people bonded into tribes in our early history.
>>558364673
Thats also true, i need to tweak the rate down a bit when i start new game now especially given how i have thrist mod.

>>558364765
...mmm. I think I see.
I'm just worried because with my friend, I'm the permacook/farmer, and Vintage Story is a lot harder than Runescape Dragonwilds or even Valheim.

>>558364874
Its always a gamble at first but VS is truly one of these games that benefits from having multiple players in designated roles. And with depth to back it up.

>>558365061
My friend and I make a decent team: he prefers to explore and he doesn't mind mining and building.
I prefer farming, cooking, and crafting.

>>558365302
>>558364874

I'm pretty sure a person hunting and foraging as a full time job can sustain a group of players until they set up farming, even if it means he has to go out in a bigger radius. In fact I imagine multiplayer being a lot easier because of this. My game is usually divided in "phases"
>first 10 days
no enemy spawns grace period, first priority is finding a place to settle and building a house. Mostly just eat whatever I find on the way looking for a place and gathering resources
>have a house, but no farm yet
focus on getting claymaking set up for farming, interspersed by going on hunting/foraging trips because most nearby food sources are probably exhausted by this point
>have a farm
at this point I have a mostly sustainable food source and only go hunting occasionally

Having someone skip right to step two for the whole day, while others can still progress through the "tech tree" to set up a farm sounds super easy. Even if the farm might have to be 4 times the size.
>>558363904
Wasn't aware there was one. But also I unfortunately try to be as light on mods as possible, so my save isn't at risk of being broken by updates moreso than it already is, thanks to a worldgen update or something
>i have like 500hrs in Skyrim and i never got past the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller quest.
to be fair that also comes from the fact, that the open world is much more interesting than the main quest. I have 800h and only made it past that quest once I think.

>>558364765
>>558364673
>>558364610
>>558364515
Also speaking of Vintage Story, foraging and farming. I still in love with how perfectly my first playthrough of this game illustrated the importance of the advent of agriculture. Of course I knew beforehand it was important, but actually "feeling" that yourself, how much time you free up and stress is lifted, once you don't have to spend half your day looking for food and can focus on building and metallurgy for instance is something else. Even just in this simplified form.
Though on that note it's interesting that there were still hunter gatherer societies that were able to build quite impressive structures as I've learned not too long ago.

Cool puzzles in the update but the rainbow numbers changing colors is disorienting. If they are gonna do that it should be much slower, and not vary between light and dark colors. The developer should know that people who play this game aren't here for flashy colors.

>>558390619
>>558391085
Oh yeah. Vintage Story is excellent at making you realize how big achievements are. Even going from stones to flint specifically feels rewarding.
What worries me is that I suck at hunting, and I'm not enjoying scavenging, so I'm terrible at it. My ideal game is to stay at home and farm, but with Vintage Story's system, it's really not encouraged.

Hmmmmm

I guess, it probably depends on how long you spend thinking about your turns. I was more into it for the TBT aspect, which it delivered on well enough.

Very productive day today. Need to go to sleep and have been falling into the "just one more task" trap I know all too well from Factorio.
Finished my house, I'm not used to my starter home being this huge, but with all the new ground storage options I'm starting to find use for the extra space.
Also built this little shelter for my pit kiln, though I think I'll replace the posts for thicker logs and move them one out, because I think they can catch on fire otherwise. Also turns out I'm living right on the edge between uncommon and common rain areas, so it's constantly raining over my kiln, but not my house.
As soon as the clay vessels, watering can and cooking pot finish I can get the rest of my stuff from the temporary camp, set up a small vegetable garden and get into popper meal preparation.
Until then I think it's finally time for a hunting trip, which I could also use to collect any of the wild growing vegetables and grains on the island. Plus maybe take some berry bushes home.

>>558399085
I never bothered making a roof for the pit kilns. Maybe I should.

You'll have to tell me what seed you use, I've been trying to get something like this but failed.

>>558428032
I think the game settings are more important than the seed here.
I used
>Landcover: 50%
>Landcover scale: 300%
in advanced world settings >>558360934
To make sure I toughly get what I want I also generated the world, hopped into creative mode (/gm 2) and enabled noclip (double tap F3, F1 & F2 for speed control) and flew around for just a minute or so, trying not to spoil myself too much of the map but just to see if it looks roughly like what I want.
Then go to the menu, copy the seed from the world I just flew around in and generate it again, this time adjusting all the settings and so on.
I thought I would have to repeat the process a few times, but found this one right away and was happy with it.

3 of my cats ended up downed in the hippo fight, and now everyone is low HP. (First time going the hard route in Alley). Is this an "Cut your losses and go home" kinda situation, or is this a "try to salvage it" kinda deal? I'm not sure I can heal these guys back up and now they all have injuries except the Cleric.

>>558427071
Yeah, dwarf metal is cool.

>>558429412
Islands sound good in theory but in practice it suck, because;
>Spawns are fucked so 1 island will have like 7 bears on it while the other has none but 10 wolves
>Ressource gathering is a pain because one crucial ressource may not be found on your spawn island and is overall very limited
>Any sort of travelling or exploration require a slow ass raft which cant be upgraded until way later on
>Going into copper and iron age is an absolute pain due to less ground coverage = far less chances for surface copper to spawn

I think a direct sequel would have faired far better. What creates an actual uncanny valley here is they're trying to match DE but just changing out the names and voices. There are actual lines in the demo that I'm pretty sure are lifted directly from DE too and that just makes it worse for anyone who played it.
I suppose they figure they burned all good will with the existing fan base and none of them are going to play the game so they can just copy things directly and the new fanbase will be none the wiser.

Well as I said, I can recommend messing with the world settings a bit and doing a little "testrun" of the world in creative just to see if the area around spawn roughly looks like what you'd like it to be.

>>558438115
Kinda depends on how you'd do it.
It would definitely feel a lot less out of place to have DE sounding writing in a game set in the DE universe. But another draw was the whole thing of you talking to your skills and from what I recall it's heavily implied that this is something unique to Harry, so I'm not sure if you'd have to come up with something similar yet distinct which honestly would still feel like copying DE imo or have Harry be the playable character again, which would cheapen any impact of the first game, at least for me for a variety of reasons
>>558440529
Yeah, I've seen some dude has done a multi hour documentary on it, that I was meaning to watch, but then he made another update video of the same length and I'm honestly not sure if it's worth my time, especially if it's a developing situation.

you could definitely recover by just playing it safe for a few rounds if you wanted, especially since your cleric is the healthier one

>>558428970
Salvageable, but depends on the situation. Your cleric would be very helpful, but ideally you'd have a second form of healing from items or something like that. Injuries aren't run ending, I regularly have a cat go down on the more challenging areas and still usually make it to the end, with a full team. On the other hand, if you had 3 go down at hippo (a relatively easy boss) I'm not sure I'd be confident in the team's ability to take on upcoming bosses.

After hearing that Scrapyard is supposedly actually easier than the sewers, I decided to say "fuck it, I'm gonna keep going", And kept the run. It for sure was a challenge healing the cats back up, but I even managed to take the hard route in the scrapyard, and I guess I lucked out with the boss (the headless duo) being relatively easy and avoidable by being careful and not doing stupd stuff.
I think the early game of this is a lot more difficult, because you are relying on cats that usually only have 1 or maybe 2 stats at 7. My rule of thumb now is to never take any cat that has below 5 on the constitution, it just ain't worth it. You can beat most normie enemies with low constitution cats, but bosses will hit back, and having below a 5 is basically just guranteed dead cats.

>wood lamellar is a thing

>>558493948
I'd more or less agree, with the caveat that things change as you progress. Once you get breeding going and have better stats and mutations, not to mention a bigger box to hold good starting items, the early game becomes much more consistent. At the start though, I would regularly pick classes that gave +con for my less healthy cats just so they could have a decent pool. The scrapyard duo is a real dice roll, sometimes they practically kill each other and sometimes you get fucked because your familiars uncontrollably hit them for 2 damage ten times and now your tank is dead.

There is a misconception that samurai armor was made of wood, but it was mostly iron plates from very early on. Earlier patterns being iron lamellar and wide iron plates, later patterns being more form fitting iron or steel plate akin to european plate armor.
They also knew how to make chainmail and had their own chainmail suits worn alone or in addition to heavier armor.

First time I played VS I was wandering through a cave, turned a corner, and found myself within kissing distance of a bowtorn. Panicked and accidentally threw my torch as it waddled away, I fumbled around until I found the exit and sprinted, and right as I got out a big spike of bone embedded itself in the ground beside me. Ran home, turned the game off, and didn't touch it again for a week.
Hell of a first impression.

I would absolutely love to play a handcrafted Vintage Story map one day wouldn't even be surprised if there is one out there
Not even necessarily a 100% handmade one, the world generation can be pretty good as is, but just someone going over a procedurally generated map and placing some ruins/traders by hand and maybe just adjusting a few terrain features here and there.
Because the better ruins and better traders mods add some really cool structures to the game, but that makes it even more disappointing that they exist "in isolation". Like I've got picrel in the middle of my island (screenshot taken form modpage) in a zone of temporal instability. But it sucks to know that that's just a happy accident, none of the structures around it really relate to it and any thoughts about who built this place and what made the island special to them is just shit I make up in my head.
Same for traders. There is a trader who lives in a little fortified hut near this temple in the middle of an open field. I can headcanon that he felt drawn to it and scavenges around it occasionally. But that's just a silly headcanon that doesn't make sense considering the things he sells.

Plus if all the stuff was placed by hand, you could have breadcrumbs leading from one point of interest to the next

>>558596995
That's eerily close to my first encounter with one of those bell head motherfuckers, whatever they are called.
Hearing that sound and having no idea where it comes from or who makes it was peak horror. Especially since at that point I've only ever encountered drifters (and I'm not sure if the game even had any monsters beside the two)

>>558597565
VS is just real fucking good at horror in general. Looting an abandoned mine and hearing a bell up ahead, then hearing them everywhere as more spawned in from behind, was a level of dread I haven't felt since nighttime in Darkwood.

Don't even get me started man. Just the other day I thought about how that game made me jump at literally just pixelated text on a screen.
I was exploring some house that I was convinced was empty, suddenly the music faded out and I was left with deafening silence only disturbed by my footsteps and something moving around outside turned out later it was just some animal, but I didn't know that at the time and all of a sudden I see a line of text appearing in the darkness and it literally made me jump.
To this day I'm impressed how the game managed to pull that off.
Combed through my screenshots folder and I think it was this place, but I can't be sure.
