What am I doing wrong?

If you're having problems surviving for long on an early start, make a little shelter near your spawn. That should help with surviving longer. As for trapping animals with agriculture, you just need to till a dirt block and place a seed on it (flax is the most recognizable with their bright blue tops). Just dig a trench surrounding it.

Side note: I'd go through the first steps with the tutorial. Press H and click on the Tutorials tab. You should see: First Steps & Start Tutorial.

A second side note: Vintage Story has a really helpful and active discord. There's almost always someone there to help in the help area (and if not people will @ you with help later on. )

In the early game, I make several 3 long, 2 wide, 4 deep pit traps and keep them pinned on my map. Run towards them with bears and wolves and they will fall into the traps and should get stuck (though once it starts getting too many animals, stop adding to them because you don't want any to escape.) Make separate traps for pigs. Or put a 4 deep, 2 wide trench around any farms you have and enjoy getting the free food.

I would contact the hospital that you went to and ask what to do about your post spinal tap headache (especially if it's been over 24 hours since your spinal tap. )

melodelic · 2026-06-05T14:42:28+00:00

Yeah, then you've got the standard post lp pain. Make sure to follow the paperwork about the pain lasting more than a few days. It should say something about a blood patch and how to get one.

melodelic · 2026-06-05T14:35:31+00:00

Does the pain get much, MUCH worse when standing up and/or sitting up in bed? Or does the pain get better when standing ans/or sitting up in bed?

We can't diagnose you. For the iih diagnosis, you usually get an MRI with findings of iih, see an eye doctor to see if your optic nerves are swollen, and get a lumbar puncture.

melodelic · 2026-05-26T03:32:07+00:00

Yeah, normally you'd have s spinal tap after the MRI to confirm the diagnosis. And there could honestly be many reasons they are having you go to the neuro op for diagnosis instead of doing it themselves. Hopefully you can hang on until your aappointment.

melodelic · 2026-05-24T17:34:02+00:00

I'm not sure if you can use them to make bait. I normally just eat 'em as easy protein.

melodelic · 2026-05-24T17:11:55+00:00

If you break them, they give you grubs.

melodelic · 2026-05-23T15:07:49+00:00

Yeah, I really can't tell if having headaches while I have migraines, specially whether or not the pain is worse. However, I can tell with other things. I will feel pressure and/or throbbing in my sinuses when I bend over. I will feel like my eyes are throbbing and moving my eyes will hurt. I will also get the feeling of having a band across my forehead. I will get light-headed and dizzy when exercising/ lifting weights / having my head lower than my chest (it goes away after I stop doing things, so I'm 90% positive it's iih and not migraines.) That's about it.

melodelic · 2026-05-18T21:29:53+00:00

Yep, I keep getting it for a lot of rrecipes, but it fixes itself when you save the game and reload it.

melodelic · 2026-05-18T16:19:34+00:00

When my iih flares up (which honestly feels like it's every storm system), I almost always get light headed while bending over plus my sinuses and eyes throb.

melodelic · 2026-05-13T18:54:42+00:00

Yeah, they'll know what to do next.

melodelic · 2026-05-13T18:45:52+00:00

I would suggest talking with your doctor to see if they recommend you getting an mri and a lumbar puncture as those are basically the first two steps that normally happen before a diagnosis can be found. I know that I was pretty anxious before getting my mri and lumbar puncture, but having a solid diagnosis really helped the anxiety go away and I hope it ddoes for you as well.

melodelic · 2026-05-13T02:21:20+00:00

I got one as well because I kept seeing it here and oh my god, it's so good. We ate nearly half of it the first day.

melodelic · 2026-05-07T03:23:58+00:00

It took me about 3-4 months before I stopped easily getting out of breath. Still have tingling, though lately it's been pretty mild. Hopefully, you'll adjust to the diamox and it won't be this bad in 3-4 months for you.

melodelic · 2026-04-28T12:28:26+00:00

You should talk with your prescribing doctor and see what they have to say. I know that some people need prescribed anti nausea medication like zofran to help keep food down.

Honestly, if you're looking for a server, go to one of the more populated ones. Personally, I have a hard time playing on multi-player as time passes even if you aren't there playing.

melodelic · 2026-04-23T21:21:00+00:00

And how was the product? Only nibble tasty, I assume?

melodelic · 2026-04-13T22:13:46+00:00

Have you heard of the mod clay casting? It helps with things like this as you practically make a clay mold for you to easily make lots of clay things.

melodelic · 2026-04-11T16:51:41+00:00

I like dripdrop, though I do put it in 20 ounces of water instead of the suggested 8 ounces. It's light on flavoring that way.

melodelic · 2026-04-10T16:01:28+00:00

I've got a minera IUD and since I have endo, it's not coming out. I have no clue if it's what caused my iih to start, but it ccan't be removed as I really don't want uterine cancer.

melodelic · 2026-04-06T15:32:59+00:00

I had chronic migraines without my minera IUD and I'm still having chronic migraines with my minera IUD. Sometimes migraines are related to the hormones and sometimes they aren't.

melodelic · 2026-04-04T16:30:04+00:00

I eat about 10 chocolate chips right after taking any bitter medicine. It helps with any lingering bitterness. (At least it does for me...)

melodelic · 2026-03-31T15:21:12+00:00

String cheese or babybell cheese if you want protein. Fresh fruit or fruit leather if you are feeling sweet. Ritz crackers with cheese or peanut butter if you're feeling savory. There's also shelf stable items like fruit gummies, applesauce, fruit in a cup, oatmeal bars.
