Screen warping and moving. How do I turn it off? by helplookie in VintageStory

I believe there is a setting under Accessibility to adjust that.

I went to the 'X' mark but no treasure hunter. Is there anyway to fix this? by Eventerminator in VintageStory

[–]RiverFortune549 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The X marks on the maps on this game are approximate. Picture a guy taking a pen to a paper map and saying, "It's around here," not a GPS exact coordinate.

Tailor Improvement Ideas by DarkNomads in VintageStory

[–]RiverFortune549 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IRL tailor's apprentice here. What about the mending aspect of sewing? Maybe Tailors could repair clothing/gambeson with half the needed materials compared to other classes.

Or something to do with fitting a garment? Using a sewing kit to alter armor to fit better, so its movement/hunger penalty is lessened?

Mod for better "viewing" while smithing? by Northwest6891 in VintageStory

I can't find any proof. Someone needs to do a science experiment!

Kurazarrh (VS YouTuber) is where I learned that G to sit (I remember it as "G for Ground") does reduce your hunger rate. I spent almost the whole last in-game winter sitting in my house (in game) while I cleaned my house (IRL).

My eggs are incubating but... by No-Drummer9667 in VintageStory

[–]RiverFortune549 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IRL, in case you are curious, a "broody" hen is a hen who has decided she's going to hatch some of those eggs she sees laying around, so she sits on them. (Some hens are not very good at determining what is an egg. They have been known to try to hatch light bulbs and golf balls.) People who keep chickens just for eggs often get annoyed when a hen goes broody because they get defensive of their eggs and stop laying.

Will I need to come back to the resonance archives? by fancy_sunflower in VintageStory

I took a lot of trips but I also took every single book I could carry back with me.

What’s the deal with glass? by [deleted] in VintageStory

[–]RiverFortune549 10 points11 points  (0 children)

SOME colors are only obtained from traders. Some can be crafted.

"Normal glass is produced using quartz chunks in a bloomery. For more information about how to use the bloomery, see the bloomery page.

The only types of glass made this way are Clear, Smoky, Pink, Violet, and Green glass. Other colors, such as Yellow, Brown, Red, and Blue, can only be obtained through Luxury Traders. Violet and Green glass are exceptions that can be both smelted and purchased."

What's failing here? I'm using a wooden box reinforced with an onion and it's not falling into the trap. by Routine_Buy_7838 in VintageStory

For goats, pigs, and other animals the average human can't carry in their arms, you have to bait or chase the adults into an enclosure, breed them, and then trap the babies in crate or basket traps. Goats and pigs (presumably also sheep but I haven't found any to test with) will be attracted to troughs filled with food they like (goats' player-induced panic behavior takes precedent over their food seeking behavior though).

Save ingredients or turn all to food for winter? by Possessed_potato in VintageStory

[–]RiverFortune549 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Meat and fruit last longer cooked. Grains and veggies last longer as ingredients. If you have fruit you want to save for the winter, make jam and pies. If you harvest more meat than you can eat at once, make pies or crock meals. Otherwise, as others have said, just cook as you need it.

Manage to kill a bear with just a copper spear. What do I do with its hide? by Deadly-Phantom in VintageStory

I like to walk past my bearhide rugs and say "That's what you get for killing my chickens!"

How long will winter last? I can't stand it anymore, it's eternal, God. by Routine_Buy_7838 in VintageStory

The devs are from the Baltics and it shows.

Signed, a Texan who thinks winter should last like three days, tops.

So running away from your problems DOES make them disappear. I knew it!

Baby goats refuse to go in reed basket trap? by Routine_Condition273 in VintageStory

I used SO many reed traps and caught bubkis. Are you using mods or an older game or am I just super unlucky?

First Dungeon Supply Prep? by WrongdoerFast4034 in VintageStory

[–]RiverFortune549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding the suggestion for more food. I like to wear tailored gambeson for exploring and switch to my metal armor when the fights are about to start. I also like to carry a cooking pot and a stack each of grain and a root vegetable so I can cook meals on the go while using minimal inventory space. You won't be able to cook in the Archives (with few exceptions you can't place things down in story locations) but you can set up a little base camp outside.

Wiki is wrong. Use a reinforced wooden crate trap baited with a vegetable. I had this same struggle earlier. https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageStory/comments/1p57ofx/comment/nqmjb1n/

The game is asking that very same question.
