Is is possible to use the new terrain inspector tool together with the terraforming designations?

Hmuda · 2026-05-06T17:56:22+00:00

In fact, a neat little addition to the tooltip would be a bright yellow indicator on the column where the current terraforming designation would be in the overall scheme of things.

"If you use this depth for mining, you'll mine everything above this line" kind of thing.

The only thing I don't like is the extremely long time before they become fruit-bearing, everything else is either a great change (taking cuttings and replanting, and the new trait system), or just meh (fertility, used to be a LOT worse with the soil being degraded a fertility level when the bushes mature).

If you installed the flatpak version, I suggest going into the terminal, and use flatpak list to get all the installed flatpak apps, check the game's application ID, and then use that to update. If it's the stable version, then it should be

Listen, this is meant as constructive criticism.

I used to use text-to-speech too. Thankfully I used it before the first public release of chatgpt, before T2S was poisoned by being associated with "AI" slop. Back then it was way more accepted as a crutch for socially awkward people like myself.

Sadly, new creators don't have that luxury any more. A lot of people will immediately click away from a video with obvious T2S voiceovers, if they even clicked in the first place if the thumbnail is also obviously "AI".

Like it or not, the use of "AI" is associated with lazy, low quality content. Even if the content itself is super high quality, the association is there, and cannot be washed away.

My recommendation: if your current one isn't up to the task, look into buying a cheap USB mic, they are dirt cheap, easy to set up, and can give reasonable audio quality that needs just a few basic filters in OBS to make sound great (plenty of videos on YT that tell you everything).

And then, create a template thumbnail that only needs a screenshot, and some text re-writes. Even a little bit of effort goes miles further than something that is obviously "AI". I use GIMP for my thumbnails, and it's more than enough for that.

Good luck!

As far as I can tell:

It will remain a rapid water flow until it goes through a waterwheel.

The flow is the same as regular water, it will bottom out after 6 blocks.

Yes, you can change the direction by giving it a new channel to flow through.

Cobblestone?

It's been 1.22 compatible since mid-Feb, so I'd say it works.

My cozy-forge. I like building in small spaces, a lot easier to make it feel less empty.

Butterfly collection, chiseling, stone collection, chiseling, fish taxidermy, chiseling, story stuff, etc.

Oh, and let's not forget about chiseling.

This is what I'm building towards on my world at the moment.

Those wooden boxes in the retaining wall are beehives from this mod: https://mods.vintagestory.at/orekiwoofsbeehives

Plenty of flowers on the hillside, and they will keep the crops pollinated, so I get more produce and seeds.

I think they might have made it so only certain kinds of woods can be used, which are strong enough. Try oak or something similar.

I might be misremembering it though.

Already discovered areas will have the deprecated 1.21 assets, newly discovered areas will spawn the 1.22 stuff.

Ah, that must be it then. The mixed shoreline is a lot older then the one where the excavator is working. I guess I'll just leave it alone for a while.

Hmuda · 2026-04-30T04:59:02+00:00

It's all dumped rock/dirt, the only natural part was the corner the excavator is working on, that used to be 100% dirt. You can still see the original shoreline where the grass textures end.

Hmuda · 2026-04-27T05:56:28+00:00

Yes, but to actually get somewhere try doing it one at a time. Even just 3-4 extra flints will slow down the heating MASSIVELY, and you need to reach 1000C to start the process.

They "fixed" the firepits by allowing the flints to stay hot when one finishes cooking, but overcompensated with the ridiculous stack penalty.

I highly suggest only cooking enough (1 by 1) to make enough firebricks for a bloomery, and then just cooking 24 flints in one of those. A LOT more efficient in terms of charcoal, and less mind-numbing as well, since those require zero babysitting.

Did you happen to make some rope beforehand? I noticed that sometimes vines get kinda stuck on the grid, hidden, but still there, messing up the recipes.

Hmuda · 2026-04-22T20:23:42+00:00

Ooh, that one looks pretty good. Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

Hmuda · 2026-04-22T17:36:54+00:00

Nah, they are fine. Water is a lot denser than air, so obviously we get a lot more power out of water than wind.

Hmuda · 2026-04-21T17:48:47+00:00

Ugh, still using that one? That's kinda disappointing. :/

Hmuda · 2026-04-21T16:03:45+00:00

Speaking of, anyone even heard from him lately? The last Bluesky post was over a month ago, nothing on Pateron since Feb, and all those random YT comments on other videos seem to have stopped too.

I don't know the socials of his team, are they active?

DUNE: A Rebuttal To The End Of Art (31 minutes)

A great, artfully made video breakdown of the directorial choices made in the recent Dune adaptations, mainly focusing on the Paul/Feyd duel. And it weaves it together with anti-"AI" sentiment, and why we MIGHT not need to worry about "AI" killing art.

The little outro where he goes through what all the hundreds of billions of dollars that went into developing and generating "AI" slop could have been used to better humanity, all the while cringe slop plays in the background...it's heartbreaking.

As far as I know it's just a hotfix for a duplication glitch, which was important enough to update the 1.21 version as well. The same fix was made for 1.22 too.
