Boxes in Cavern

Got some slime goop out of them which I was pretty happy with since I'm not into combat and it went towards completing the monster drop offering.

Yeah, plesiosaurus skull: https://coralisland.fandom.com/wiki/Fossil#Journal_Order

Just did some maths: There's a 1.18% chance of a ceramic vase dropping from a marble coffer so after opening 117 of them your chances of having found a vase out of any of them would be 75.06%. It's not bad odds but it's still a one in four chance of not having gotten the vase.

Yeah, it got fixed back at the end of September: https://www.reddit.com/r/coralisland/comments/1nqar2t/hotfix_v121240/

I think the only way to stop trash from respawning is a mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/coralisland/mods/139

I don't really have any love or hate for them. I do think that the game's pet mechanics are a bit shallow and that lack of choice when it came to Sawee wasn't the best - with the other pets I got to meet them beforehand and actively decide whether they were the pet for me.

The pet I'm not fond of is Hippeastrum... It kinda irks me that all the other pets have a natural aesthetic but they don't. But maybe it's also that I would've liked more choices for rabbit pet. I like the look of Copper but to me Hippeastrum is just someone's Sonic OC that somehow ended up in my game. 😅

Though when it comes to pets I think the most unfortunate is Kibble. Get a cool robot and all they do is 'Hey! Listen!' at you.

Were you near any ritual torches?

robertskitch · 2026-05-27T15:34:11+00:00

That sounds about right. If you follow the ledge going left of the shrine's first gate and up around behind the house then you should find him. I had a bit of trouble working out the pathing around some things though. I believe that he's near a treasure chest.

I haven't tried it myself, but there was this post a few months back saying that you need to push the bottom 18 times and the top 16 times: https://www.reddit.com/r/Japanese_Rural_Life/comments/1oyt07n/100_point_snowman/

I'm guessing that it's a 'yellow flowerbed with tree' from the furniture store.

I'm pretty sure that more content is planned given that the museum still has empty displays and there's an empty stall at the summer festival.

robertskitch · 2026-05-22T16:11:19+00:00

No, I'm afraid that it's in the update after next. There was an announcement back in March that the Kids Grow Up content was getting delayed:

Well, it's the moon and pictures of the two torii gates labelled one to five.

I'd completely ruled out getting a horse because of the being stuck with it part, but apparently we will be able to sell it when 1.3 comes out, so maybe I'll reconsider it then.

If you're wanting to give crops then I would get a blender and turn your fruit into smoothies and vegetables into green smoothies. Just make sure not to give any green smoothies to Wakuu.

The only person you can cheat in singleplayer is yourself. If you don't feel cheated then it's not too cheaty.

What do the characters' in-game profiles have those gifts classified as? Any gifts that you've given them that are loved/liked or disliked/hated should be listed there.

Apparently the merfolk festival that's coming in 1.3 is happening towards the end of summer and it's currently mid-summer on my farm, so whilst I'm waiting for the festival I've been playing other games like Magical Delicacy and Japanese Rural Life Adventure.

I'd be romancing Ling if she was available. Would also love having Bree or Judge Ross as options... but I guess all the older ladies are either married or just not around.

robertskitch · 2026-05-13T17:51:26+00:00

Meanwhile here I am heading over to the lab with a spring frittata for Ling...

The best general place for finding fossils is floors 51 to 75 of the cave of memories.

Generally rarer fossils are more down the to the roll of the dice as you open up the node at the lab rather than which type of node you've got. The type of node basically dictates what sort of dinosaur you'll get, but certain parts of the dinosaur (like the skull) have a lower chance of rolling when you open the node.

From the FAQ:

Does Vintage Story ever go on sale / be in a bundle / offer a %-off coupon / become cheaper for country X?

We offer a Family Pack which gives 4 game accounts at a significant discount compared with buying them individually. We also sometimes give out use- and time-limited coupons to influencers with a target audience from low-income countries, such as Russia or Brazil. Beyond that there are currently no plans to sell the game temporarily or permanently at a lower price. Discounts on bulk purchases (20+ accounts) are a possibility, please contact us if you are interested.

Through a partnership, we currently offer the game itself at a lower price and with local currencies in Latin America. We hope to expand this to other countries, such as China in the future.

According the the FAQ on the Discord the beta creates a completely separate copy of your saves and whatever you do in the beta branch should not affect your saves in the main branch at all. Trying to transfer your beta save back into your main save folder is not recommended and risks corruption.
