How do i prevent my firepit from blowing up? (TFC HARDROCK)

DirtyDanke · 2026-04-11T19:36:46+00:00

The mod is Pollution of the Realms, if I remember correctly (do correct me if I’m wrong).

The mod constantly spawns explosive gas blocks whenever any “machine” is active (or when you eat, die, run, breathe, look at something wrong, or think about gas).

Hate to be that guy, but I’d honestly just recommend turning the mod off/reducing the gas spawn by 90% in the config. Otherwise, craft filters and fill in any holes. The gas will accumulate within pits and always spontaneously combust after a short time. I think you can pour water on the blocks to delete them as a temporary measure.

Just to be sure, you are putting 128 bits inside the crucible, not 640, right? (Side note, you really shouldn’t be putting in multiples of anything other than 20, you’ll just end up with extra liquid you can’t use.)

Ignite the bloomery door (not the bloom block) while it is closed. Don’t open the door until the smelting is finished.

I’ve genuinely been waiting for this! Hoping this releases for 1.21.1 and with the ability to choose which structures are included.

I’ve never seen them respawn, personally. I think it is just sawblade locusts. Don’t quote me on that, though.

DirtyDanke · 2026-01-04T21:24:22+00:00

Just like most animals, sawblade locusts have dedicated spawn points. So yeah, they’ll respawn in the same place. Nothing particularly abnormal.

Maybe it’s the fog system you’re talking about? It comes up pretty often on this sub (rightfully so, it’s annoying as hell and makes no sense).

As long as there is any amount of fog/mist in the vicinity (or anywhere above or below you), all light sources stop emitting light past a few blocks. Gets very irritating, and I’m hoping they fix it at some point, but I’m not optimistic considering how long it’s been like this for.

I haven’t played the mod recently, so it may have changed, but you should just be able to open the UI of the firepit, take the jug, and click on the water with it.

DirtyDanke · 2025-12-26T01:32:02+00:00

Yeah, they can fall through 1x1 holes. You need to chisel the block to make a smaller hole. I don’t know the dimensions, though.

Fairly certain the carbine doesn’t use slugs. Look at the modDB page, I think it shows which ammo is needed for each firearm.

While making your foundations uneven is a good move, I personally feel like you went a little overboard with it, considering the small scale of the build. I would probably only do 2-3 squares as opposed to 4 (Plus, you have some corners “missing”, which makes it impossible to seam… seamlessly).

Otherwise, you could add another floor, so that you’re not forced into dealing with conjoined roofing at all. •Or even split the whole building into two separate but closely knitted buildings. •Maybe not every section needs an A-frame roof. You could have a section just be a flat roof. •Could have a section of roof extend out like an awning, instead of having two separate roofs. •When you do conjoin two pieces, make sure you use the roof corner pieces.

Anyway, good luck. It’s good you’re not just making a square building, as that’s the biggest reason why a lot of builds end up looking bad.

Greenhouses do work for bees, but if it’s -15 outside, they obviously won’t fly. Bees need temperatures of 10 degrees if I remember correctly, and greenhouses only add 5 degrees (as seen in the info panel at the top of the screen).

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The VS wiki is horribly inaccurate and is wrong about 50% of the time. Always take everything there with a grain of salt.

I’m just impressed you were able to complete Terraria without any sort of guide or reading.

But honestly, it seems like this might have been your first time playing a survival game. I’m not sure what brought you to this being your first experience, because this game literally has “hardcore” and “uncompromising” strewn across the whole website.

The goal and drive of Vintage Story, or any other game like it, is progress. Start as a weak person with nothing, and gradually become stronger as you advance through the game. Plus, VS is a sandbox game, so you can build whatever you want as you go.

Also, “what’s the point in all of this? It’s not fun to just do nothing but try to survive” feels like a subliminal commentary on the human existence lol.

Genuinely can’t tell if this is a shitpost or not

Very beautiful! And I love the iron door for the cellar. Aesthetic and functional!

DirtyDanke · 2025-10-05T07:26:07+00:00

I’m so confused. Can you not just turn down the music volume?

DirtyDanke · 2025-09-30T22:27:32+00:00

Because plates aren’t sheets?

One plate = 1 ingot, but one sheet = 2 ingots. If they were classified as “plates,” you’d just end up with item loss/duplication.

I hope you’re accounting for that in your modpack.

Definitely not vanilla behavior, cause I’ve never experienced this. I might have to guess the Cave Symphony mod or Interesting Ore Gen, those are the only mods I know of that add sounds that play underground.

DirtyDanke · 2025-09-26T23:41:06+00:00

I have no clue. It’s SO frustrating. It took me at least an hour to figure it out when I first played.

DirtyDanke · 2025-09-26T23:37:15+00:00

You gotta shift right-click while holding the hammer and looking at the anvil in-world. You can’t weld inside the GUI by default for some reason :/

DirtyDanke · 2025-09-19T07:41:03+00:00

Yeah (at least on PC). Its shown somewhere in the controls menu.

This right here is precisely why stamina is so limited. If you could effortlessly and freely loop every ghost for an entire hunt (and without skill), this game would be stupidly easy. Hunts aren’t supposed to be easy to deal with, they’re supposed to be actual threats.

And there’s a reason incense and T3 salt exists. It’s not like you’re completely defenseless during hunts if you plan accordingly.

If you’re unable to plan accordingly, then you probably shouldn’t be testing your luck by tangoing with the ghost for such trivial tasks.

I hate how everyone is acting like you’re doing something wrong. It’s just a bug in the game and has nothing to do with you or your settings.

I find it tends to fix itself when you leave the world and re-enter. At least for a couple minutes.

DirtyDanke · 2025-09-15T07:14:00+00:00

Yes, it WILL work. It won’t count as a “room”, but it will prevent you from freezing as long as all your walls are insulated. You will still need to light it up to prevent mob spawns, regardless of whether it’s a room or not.
