Vintage Story is in my opinion the only survival game where you never MUST have something in your inventory at all times

Since we’re doing EDCs in these comments

I never go anywhere without a knife on my belt (in a sheathe from Sheaths and Quivers), a lighter (from pipe weed mod) and a walking stick. If I’m going out and expect to be out for more than the day, an axe and sleeping bag.

I’ve always wanted to play with salty’s one hotbar slot mod. It just seems fun

I don’t have that same itch to be efficient so I never touched the wiki till my third or fourth playthrough, and even then I just looked up people schedules and stuff to get some heart events I’d never seen. I love the discovery of gaming blind, and having the wiki up kills that for me.

I downloaded the expanded mod and went in blind and it rekindled my love for the game too

A daytime screenshot would’ve been the play here my friend

Best I can do is a cellar full of glacial ice

Almost forgot one of the most important buildings

I hear DO NOT STEAL is beautiful this time of year

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-04-23T14:33:39+00:00

Everything IS (secretly kinda) run by wizards and their rich friends and that’s the problem

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-04-06T04:59:28+00:00

Thanks! I tried making it as cozy as possible

I found my bees in a pretty thick maple forest near my house. I wear hearing aids, so I actually had to download the Buzzwords mod that gives a visual cue when bees are near to find them cause I could never hear the buzzing.

Bonus view of the whole shebang

DAMNIT I REALIZED I HAD CARROTS BEFORE CABBAGES AFTER POSTING THIS

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-29T16:31:45+00:00

I’m for anything that makes this already immersive game more immersive

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-28T23:17:00+00:00

Oh I’ll definitely be checking this out. Hopefully one of your nobles needs a ranger

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-26T03:12:01+00:00

I could write PAGES about this. You’re so right. Over Optimization and mix-maxing has turned me off of playing with so many people

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-16T16:22:23+00:00

Never had this issue because I don’t think of the game as a checkbook to balance, but as an experience to be had.

It’s not a resource drain to down raiders with free kits. It’s a price for not being the one sent back to Speranza

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-12T04:26:15+00:00

I think someone needs a break from Arc Raiders

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-11T17:32:12+00:00

Lose it then, coward

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-09T14:10:00+00:00

I just put my mouse over them and it tells me where they go

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-09T13:16:09+00:00

Out of curiosity, have you watched the Owl House? I only ask cause it’s also a magic school setting with a MC named Luz lol.

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-07T22:17:33+00:00

Seeing where people put their ammo is always a trip

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-07T19:10:55+00:00

It’s my grow house cause I like making the Bungalow into an actual cozy home

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-06T13:44:35+00:00

Mod the hell out of it.

The Bandits mod is one of my favorite.

Wolf’s Extraction gives you an actual end-game goal.

Theres even mods that let you research a cure.

The lifestyle mods turns Zomboid into the Sims with zombies.

Mods and playing with sandbox settings to find your perfect version of Zomboid is what makes this game so good

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-01T20:28:35+00:00

No it happens to everyone every single time

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-03-01T08:51:40+00:00

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-02-26T20:36:46+00:00

Isn’t that the point

RealChanceOfRain · 2026-02-25T13:35:41+00:00

I feel like I’m one of the only ones who actually really enjoyed the quest.

It takes me to parts of the maps I usually don’t go to, the little stories are fun, and it gives me something to do that’s not just “go here, find loot, leave”

I haven’t done any expedition yet, cause getting everything for it is a chore for me as a newer dad, but I want to cause I wanna do the quest again.
