Let's become hunter-gathers together!
I discovered this game recently, and it's pretty enjoyable. Despite the Minecraft-like appearance the game is so much more in-depth
and realistic when it comes to its gameplay. Crafting, for example, can require multiple items within a crafting space, and creating things like tools requires you to actually knap stones into shape, creating pottery requires shaping clay, mining requires finding surface copper, etc. The built-in survival guide for looking up crafting recipes is basically a necessity.

You can buy the game from
https://www.vintagestory for 20 EUR.
The refund policy is really generous if you don't like it:
"We offer refunds within 2 weeks of purchase or 10 hours of play time, whichever comes first. However, even if you fall outside those limits you can still request a refund and we'll take a look. In principle, if you don't like our game, then we also don't want to keep your money."

... But, I'm sure for many 20 EUR is a steep price for a game without an up-to-date demo. So:
Crack:
https://files.catbox.m Rename to "VintagestoryLib.dll" and overwrite the file in the installation directory. Then, you can launch the game. Once you get in, click the "Logout" button in the bottom left and put in any username you would like. I won't vouch for the safety of this file other than to say that it works, and
passes virustotal . From this point, you can play singleplayer and join multiplayer servers that don't check user auth (basically the same as a cracked Minecraft server).

I've had my eye on this game for a long time but I decided to wait until it's closer to feature complete since I don't tend to come back to this kind of game after I burn out on it the first time.

That being said! Please gaze upon my small vineyard. I collected a bunch of cranberry, red currant, and black currant bushes and have a little plot.
>>5962 It's cool! And fun! I think the closest game I can compare it to is maybe Haven and Hearth since it places much more of a heavy emphasis on realism than games like Minecraft which is more arcade-y.

I was thinking about this looking at the minecraft thread. Were it not for the lack of 2hu mods it would be perfect.
>>5962 This one is very good. It's slow, but progress feels very rewarding. Moving through the material ages is a nice natural progression that I could best describe as an explosion of possibilities at each stage.
My only real gripe is the major bottlenecks have a time window. If you don't plant enough flax to make a ton of linen then you're going to have a hell of a time trying to get into iron, and steel is out of the question.
For a niche game it surprisingly has a nicely sized modding community, so there's lots of stuff there.
>>5967 I remember that, was a ton of fun. I do feel bad for committing arson on fort fumo…

Am learning the game right now, thanks to
>>5959 for bringing the game to attention and to
>>5960 for the links and infos to take a proper look at the game before having to spend 20€.
At first the crafting systems appeared to be much more tedious than what I remember in Minecraft (haven't played that in over a decade though) but the results feel more satisfying. Also because products like pickaxes last much longer, the low durability of tools in MC always annoyed me.
Finally left the stone age by smelting my first copper pickaxe yesterday. Me make shiny stick now! \o/

This game really needs a lot for you to make a proper chest.... But I'm having fun with it. It's kinda like a mini Haven and Hearth.
Anonymous 05/05/25 (Mon) 04:58:54 No. 6107
>>6098 Three ingots tops, two if you just make a saw and the smallest nails & strips batch size. Crates are cheaper since it's the same recipe but with a saw in the middle instead of nails & strips. Honestly, once you make a batch or two of that your storage problem vanishes because you have a few dozen chests to work with now.
I had to drop out short yesterday, but that was next on my list. Unfortunately I burned through all of our charcoal and didn't have the time to make more, so those copper ingots were without greater purpose.

I've molded some copper into tools, but haven't found much to replenish the existing supply at the base. How do you go about finding more copper?
Anonymous 05/06/25 (Tue) 03:27:09 No. 6156
>>6155 I thought we had a bunch of tools, I know there were two sets of hammer and pick when I logged off a day or so ago, unless those got used up or absconded with. Oh, and I know for a fact we had enough ores to make two ingots (200 units) worth of bismuth bronze, the ratio went like 6 bismuth, 10 sphalerite, and 24 copper.
Anyway, the best early game source of copper are the bits you find laying around, because beneath those is a decent surface deposit of ore you need a pickaxe to mine out. So anytime you see surface bits of any kind, mark that location on your map and come back later. Goes for everything, like tin, iron, lead, quartz, etc. For larger deposits you'll need to learn prospecting, which is a whole method on its own.
Something I also want to ask (in general) is what times do people tend to log on?

Oh yeah, I was kinda wondering because I wasn't much considering nutrition before, but does having good nutrition have good benefits towards your hunger bar lasting longer as well? Because that'd be pretty useful if it were the case. I think I'll try to preserve my character a bit more if it means I can venture out further without starving to death.

If you want to stay full for longer then you MUST make and eat meals, making an actual cellar and kitchen was up on my list of things to do (among other things to the shitshack spawn camp), but in short I was going to make a million pots of turnip and spelt porridge and store them in crocks on shelves. Eating a bowl of something will freeze your hunger for a bit.

>>6848 Good post, thanks for addressing these matters.
As an attempt for a countermeasure regarding the spoiling food of inactive players, I built a simple 'food house' near the standard spawn. It has a cellar (slows down the rotting process) for storage and is supposed to be used for meals to be prepared and stored.
My idea is that by storing surplus in food there, returning and newly joining players would not have to suffer through the starvation-suicide-cyc
le and could focus on establishing themselves.
I put some food and cooking supplies there for a start. Feel free to improve the place if you want. Rot could also be collected there to make compost later.

My thought would be to do something like have the server open on Thursday at 12PM UTC and close on Friday at 12PM UTC. Then, a general meetup time of Thursday at ~6-7PM EST (10PM UTC). Would that work for everyone?
Bear in mind, the server time pauses when there are no players.

Animals you capture do eventually grow up, just takes a while. For larger animals like that I have more luck slapping one to piss them off and have them chase me into their new pen. Skips to having adults ready to mate.
>>7533 I wouldn't kill all of your animals since they become docile after a few generations (depending on the animal), and if you feed them before the slaughter it would fatten them up to raise drop chances.
As for crock sealing, I've found that the 30 some days each crock lasts for unsealed in a cellar works just fine, and they'll last longer during winter because it's cold. Sealing crocks become much more important when you want to travel or have so much food you cant eat all of it before it spoils.

I wanted to skip copper anvil thing entirely by getting black bronze pickaxe and mining out more silver and gold from quartz. Thing is I cannot get the other silver nugget anywhere, with only one getting as a loose chunk on the ground. The gold was acquired via trader.
Hell, I was panning gravel in desperate attemot for getting silver (but according to loot tables I need bony soil that I already used up) and guess what? I got a golden coronet. This game was mocking me, so decided to drop the idea and just go with copper for now.
Anonymous 06/15/25 (Sun) 19:50:30 No. 7660
>>7659 I'd use whatever metal you can get your hands on, anvil made tools are such a game changer and getting a saw is a huge leg up.
Black bronze is the best of bronzes, but it's rare and moot once you get iron which comes in practically infinite amounts. Personally I prefer to make longer lasting items out of it because it just looks cooler, like lanterns or a helve hammer head. Wish we could make jewelry.
If you can somehow scrape together enough tin nuggets (15 for 9 ingots) you can just make a bronze anvil to work iron later, but a copper anvil works just fine and you can break it down with a chisel once you've replaced it with better.
When you do get around to wanting to set up a farm, all you need is one male and as many females as you can stand to grab. This male is all you need since babies inherit the generation from the mother, so cull off all the male offspring once they've grown and got fat. Since pigs can be aggressive, it's easier albeit risky to slap one in the ass and have it chase you into the pen you intend to keep it in. This works for bighorns as well, but be prepared to die a few times with them. Pigs will eat most garbage except grass and parsnips so feed them your excess vegetables or fruit mash, and bighorns just need grass.
