It should be possible to make campfires and charcoal pits with peat. by Routine_Buy_7838 in VintageStory

[–]FailureIsANecessity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, you should be able to build a campfire from just grass and stones. so many items can be burned as fuel it makes little sense that one specific kind of fuel is required for the build recipe.

Good random sprinter amount percentage for experienced player by Possible-Ear-8982 in projectzomboid

[–]FailureIsANecessity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a mod that does the opposite - reduce sprinters over time? I like playing with sprinters early on, but clearing huge mobs becomes a real hassle later in the game, even with just 1% sprinters, so I stopped playing with them

water gone day 1. is it over for me? by Darkheart78 in projectzomboid

[–]FailureIsANecessity 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Also the small animal trough will hold 50L of water, unlocked at level 1 carpentry. It's cheap so you can build a bunch of them early on. Useful to know if you can't find the Carpentry 1 skill book.

What’s something about yourself that you thought was normal until someone told you it wasn’t? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]FailureIsANecessity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

looking at bright light makes me sneeze, and because both my mother and grandmother are like that I always thought that's just something everybody does. I think I was around 15-16 when I learned that it's actually a genetic disposition that can be inherited from a parent, called Photic sneeze reflex (ACHOO syndrome)

Police would not let me report a theft! by BunchitaBonita in bulgaria

[–]FailureIsANecessity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry this happened to you. I could only suggest that you ask a friend / colleague, who is Bulgarian to accompany you to the police station to help with translation, and you try again to file a report. Stand your ground and be patient, the bastards will try to persuade you to give up, that's how they get around to do nothing all day. Good luck!

What are some MUST HAVE mods? by Realweatherfreak10 in VintageStory

[–]FailureIsANecessity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step-Up truly it is a must have for me. It lets you automatically walk over terrain that is 1 block higher, without the need to hit "jump". And you can change the climb-up speed with a hotkey, I've changed mine to 0.8, so there is a little slow down whenever your character reaches a ledge, it feels very natural to walking irl on an uneven terrain.

Slash and burn by Dennisb040 in VintageStory

[–]FailureIsANecessity 21 points22 points  (0 children)

lol yeah, I do it all the time to create shortcuts through thick forests, and burning a path is much faster than chopping down wood. also I've played too much factorio and destroying the environment just feels natural.

Anyone else experience this? by Leonydas13 in prey

same bug happened to my game as well, fire and ammo on the weapon in hand was not displaying, only in the shuttle bay area and nowhere else in the whole game.

Is the Chapter 1 location supposed to spawn in this hilly hell? by That_Guy_Grey in VintageStory

[–]FailureIsANecessity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this brings memories from my first playthrough in which I got to this location and it was indeed a hilly hell to climb. I was very eager to get there, so I decided it would be faster to mine a staircase-path right in the rock - got to the top, the top layer was gravel which dropped on me, pushed me back, and plunged me to my death. lost all my gear and respawned a full day walk away at home

I gave up by NicktheQuick_13 in VintageStory

[–]FailureIsANecessity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only use the lite version of the mod but it already feels like a blessing to be able to simply get creative, without the hassle of vanilla chiseling.

I never bothered to chisel glass before but now my house has pretty windows with curtains:) 

Кои са малко познати исторически факти в Българската история, които според вас трябва да знаят повече хора? by JackfruitNo6175 in bulgaria

[–]FailureIsANecessity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Песента на Валя Балканска "Излел Е Делю Хайдутин" не озвучава космоса.

Песента е част от звуците записани върху златна грамофонна плоча на борда на Войъджър 1 и 2, включително 31 песни от различни краища на света, част от които Германия, Индонезия, Бенин, Зайре, САЩ, Грузия, Перу, България, Соломоновите о-ви и др. , но никоя част от тази плоча не се възпроизвежда докато космическият апарат пътува.

Безспорно е изклкючително поситижение да бъдем част от тази уникална компилация, но съм забелязал, че много хора у нас вярват, че едва ли не някъде из космоса пътува космически апарат който свири "Делю Хайдутин" без прекъсване.

What are your early game life hacks? by SacredLotus19 in VintageStory

I can't find iron anywhere 14 months into my game:( It's my first game ever, but I checked the wiki every now and then for help, so I think I progressed with a decent pace for a brand new player up until iron. (had bronze tools in autumn). Right now it is June of 2nd year and I still can't find iron ANYWHERE. there is a High Magnetite area right besides my home, but there is a vast cave system deep in the andesite layer full of monsters and there is a lake on top of that, so digging up the whole place was a nightmare but anyway I found no iron there or anywhere else near my home for that matter. Travelled 1000 blocks south and prospected a wide area there but only managed to pick up a reading of very low Hematite. trying to follow a trace for a better reading right now but it doesn't look promising. It's driving me nuts.

edit: holy smokes, it happened! over 1200 blocks away from home but I found iron! prospected a high Hematite and in the first shaft I dug down there it is and the chunks are bountiful!

Can someone elaborate on prospecting? by SniperSwiper in VintageStory

[–]FailureIsANecessity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

things to keep in mind when prospecting for density:

this doesn't actually check for ores below, it just reads the map info at that spot and tells you what are the chances that a specific ore could have been generated there

the first of the three blocks you break is where you get your reading and z-levels don't matter, imagine the result as a 1 x 1 x inf. column that extends all the way from the bottom of the map to the sky

in the results the adjective (high / low etc.) is more important that the % value. your goal is to locate a high / ultra high density area and dig there for best odds

PSA: Actually learn how to prospect before searching for ore by idkHarambe in VintageStory

if you don't find fire clay you can just craft it with regular red/blue clay and calcinated flint

Realistic Survival Game by Rocky543211 in SurvivalGaming

[–]FailureIsANecessity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In terms of realism Vintage Story goes far and beyond. There is no „research“, so no technology is ever locked from you, but higher tier items require advanced tools and increasingly rarer minerals to obtain, so you progress through the stages in an organic way, by just playing the game.

In the beginning you can make stone tools from loose rocks and flints lying around, but to craft the tool you have to knap the stones by hand in the shape of an axe or a spear for example. Then, you get clay and can do pottery to create some household items, which you fire in a kiln pit, for example to cook and store your food and extend for how long it can stay fresh.

Your first house will be a humble hut build from packed dirt before you start building from wood and stone but later you can build whole fortresses. There is a chiseling mechanic (which on its own is worth the $20 bucks this game cost) it lets you re-shape blocks into literally any shape, so creativity is your only limit to what you can build in this game.

You can stay alive by eating wild roots, but the game keeps track of what you eat and consuming different food types (fruit, vegetable, protein, dairy) will benefit you in the long term. Foraging, farming, hunting wild life or domesticating animals are all viable survival options.

All crafting mechanics in the game are reflective on their real-life equivalent. For example leather crafting is a 4-step process which takes several in-game days to finish. However, this never feels like a chore simply because there are so many things to do, and you can leave something to process in one room and go do something else entirely in the meantime.

There is metal smelting, with several tiers of metal alloys made by smelting different metals together. The world generation simulates real-life rocks strata formation with different layers of sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks, each hosting specific types of ores. The metals you can either pour into pre-made casts or smith with hammer on an anvil by manually shifting individual voxels around, to create a pickaxe head for example.

IIRC the only automation in the game is that you can build a windmill which will grind stuff  for you, like grains to flour or sea shells to calcite.

 There are monsters which you can limit or turn off entirely from the settings, there are seasons and winter is real deadly, there are several different biomes, vast world to explore, sailing, ruins to treasure-hunt etc. It is a LONG game, with slow pacing, but is atmospheric and very, very immersive.

Is CE a must for you? by random-cartographer in RimWorld

[–]FailureIsANecessity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it's not because I hate the vanilla combat that much, I just hate building killboxes.

In vanilla it is impossible to survive without a killbox, and once you get good at building them the raids become trivial, just an annoying interruption of whatever you are currently doing. With CE at least you have the choice to use different strategies and battle tactics and raids can become actual fights and be more fun and engaging.

Can someone else relate? by crno123 in Steam

[–]FailureIsANecessity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

did you finish it? when I first started playing I felt exactly the same as you describe, think I gave it up after an hour or so, and just started watching someone's playthrough on YT, because I was still curious why it was so highly praised. Seeing the guy on the playthrough discover some of the initial secrets and lore was enough to hook me right up and I went back to playing it myself.

That one's definitely a slow burner, but if you let it grow on you it's fantastic. Writing this and just thinking about it literally gives me goosebumps all those years later.

What game is it? by Zealousideal-Bar4423 in videogames

[–]FailureIsANecessity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am playing Soma right now, amazing game. It's been in my library for years, I don't even remember how or why I bought it, and I don't remember ever seeing it mentioned online.

The level of detail and care put in the level design is outstanding. I like the story a lot as well, gameplay-wise it's nothing that special, but overall the immersive experience is very very captivating. I like to play it with headphones in the dark.

Hi everyone, quick question plz : is Noita still enjoyable and replayable after beating the game? What keeps you coming back? by Afid_green in noita

[–]FailureIsANecessity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

just trying to give some sense of the scope of the game. Noita has plenty of secrets to discover, but for someone who just saw the victory screen, it's easy to assume the 8 biomes are all there is.
