I enjoy this game so much, it really only was a matter of time until it made a reappearance on the channel... but before anyone asks: No, this doesn't mean the cancellation of any of my other series!! I just needed something easy to record while so much of my time is taken up house hunting (and I get itchy if too many of my uploads are Stream VODs xD)
I 100% feel you on the "house hunting takes 110% of my time" - (in the US, at least) college/uni searching is very similar! (As is house hunting, of course)
My Singular Stonehearth Vet Tip for the Sake of the Foxes: keep two little stockpiles near your Trapping Grounds and Farms, one each location, zoned only for cooking ingredients/raw food respectively. The pets will go to the stockpiles and grab food they like from them. A pet can't get food out of storage items like chests, so keeping those stockpiles makes sure they don't starve to death. The kibble pet bowls aren't reliable for whatever reason. I have had abundent bowls before and my pets still starved. T_ T I got really upset having to watch my pets starve to death and I couldn't save them before I learned this trick. Anyway, I am SUPER excited to see you back in Stonehearth. I love this game and it is great to see my favorite content creator playing it once more. I hope you have loads of fun exploring this world again and make it to the point you take on the titan. :D
Seeing as how you are in a desert, I would love to see you try your hand at designing a pueblo-style city built onto the sides of your local mountain; with little walkways made of wood and wide clay windows. I think it could look amazing and you could honeycomb tunnels through the mountain for shortcuts. :)
Getting early food in the dessert: 1(optional) pause the game 2 search with the camera for fruitbearing cacti. Don't search too far 3 tell your hearlings to harvest said cacti an haul them closer to base
A dwarf playthrough would be fantastic. Build an above ground keep as your entrance, then dig a stairway down and have your entire settlement on the same Z level below ground. Just dig straight down from a flat open place. This makes it very easy to see your entire settlement all at the same time (minus the gatehouse which is on the surface). Or, even better, go entirely underground if you can manage it. Gatehouse below ground. Entire fort on the same Z level. Play it like Dungeon Keeper. I've always been fond of Dwarf Fortress forts built in this style.
I'm so glad you're making a series of this! To your point at 20:20, desert people carving towns out of cliffs is totally A Thing, like Mesa Verde and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and it'd be cool if you decided to do it too
See; I adore making head-cannon civilizations. My faviourite one to make, is the last hold of the Phoenix kingdom. I've done this way too many times, slowly expanding my Frosty start across 3 plains, 1 highlands, 2 deserts, and 4 Tundra's. Each time I've played as Ryass's (?) Children ( I love the Clay in this game ). It is always fun to go from a small village, to a fully detailed Castles, "Port," Cities, Military Forts, and some ruins. I adore the world of Stone Hearth, and I love making stories. This game is amazing, and your channel fills the itch of wanting to play the game and make a new settlement ( Because my PC is broken ). Please keep this series going, and the absolutely amazing Content!!!
While my true love of Aavak games is Rimworld, StoneHearth Dwarf Fortress and Terraria are close runner ups! So I’m so happy and grateful that you are making a new series of this game. Hugs!
Ah! Thank you Aavak :) I was waiting for the return of Stoneheart! I love how much this game allows your creativity to go wild~ I really liked the failed past attempts with the fidgety archer heroes :P
I'm the same way with trying to keep my place looking decent from the start. Because it still takes a bit to build stuff, its definitely hard to go back later and move or change things around, so a lot of times I keep starting new games haha. But I'm glad you're doing this playthrough, the ACE mod is really fantastic!
I am very happy to see more of this game, as the first game that got me watching your channel was Gnomoria and this is the same style of game. I loved those playthroughs quite a lot, and will enjoy seeing you go through this one. Spiderslaughter and Castlegoat forever!
Woo, glad to see stonehearths return! The game is quite dear to me having watched it since you played it back in early development years ago, and have played it quite a bit at this point.The dev's originally decided they were done last patch, and ACE mod came around after that and the dev's pointed it out and basically said it might as well be official, as far as the story went iirc. ACE is actually installed in the game by base instead of having to pull it off the steam workshop. Edit: Skylands looks really neat to play on! Last I played was a few updates ago, about a month or so, and it wasn't in yet. I might jump on just to get into a play through of that myself. Edit2: For future playthroughs I'd suggest generating a smaller map. The larger map doesn't really benefit you (you'll normally use about 1/4th or so of it anyway, about the next size down map) and it adds a lot of needless lag on even higher end computers. The only time it might be useful is on the skylands map where you have so little land to begin with, if I was to guess.
:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) lovely to see an actual series, fan tastic in fact. It seemed like everything uploaded recently were Twitch VODS, so pleased to see something like this again, thank you Aavak I'm sure all your loyal youtube followers will be delighted. I certainly am!!!! I know you are extremely busy as always but is there any chance of a Thea 2 lets play in the future at all? Thanks again Aavak and best wishes with the move.
Make sure to check the reviews on steam first. Apparently the game has pretty much been abandoned by the original devs since they got bought out by Riot. It's still buggy and can get super laggy, and most likely won't get fixed. So be careful.
Awesome video. Thanks for putting it up. I always love this game, wish I had time to play it myself. I’d also like to be added to the list of names to consider when naming the new hearthlings, if that’s an option.
Do like the Stonehearth. I really Love and Miss Thea the Awaken series. WOuld love to see a series of that were trying to get more of the demon as member of the village
Cool glad this game is back, I am interested in seeing ACE I haven't tried it out yet myself :D Edit: Also I really like the new outro sequence, much better than the shrunk down video was :D
So, clearly when you play the Dwarves it'll be with the Skylands setting turned on, right? Where better for the hardy dwarves than in the sky, as far from the ground as conceivable? Makes perfect sense to me.
This game looks more awesome now. I am glad that I get to see you play I love how you always make a wonderful back story. If you could I would like to get a character if you get the chance. Thanks.
You can get thatch by digging up the top soil. You get a lot of it by building roads and buildings. You need a mod to enable your archers to hunt. Also you might want to at the better storage mod (the vanilla version works with ACE, but an ACE version is in the works.) If your are looking for building templates (even if only for inspiration). The Vasedro and Lattice work Sets are really good (You need to replace the vanilla crafting stations with the ACE ones before committing to construction.)
Hi Aavak! I know I don't comment often but I would love to be a character in the series! Your videos are always a delight to watch and I love the RP and narratives you add to your little virtual worlds. Light, love and warmth to you!
Woo! I'm so glad you're enjoying this game! I've spent so much time on it myself. If I get picked for a Hearthling you can just call them Pris instead of my full name =)
Perhaps you could make the mountain into a temple dedicated to (insert preferred deity here), but keep it functional as a storage place. Then maybe put the market just below so that (chosen deity) can watch over, protecting.
Hi, Avaak! So happy you are playing this game again. When the time come, I would love to have my name added, Deszaraeh. If possible, I would love to have a red head with a fox as a familiar 🦊 Are there artists in the game?
Hey Aavak have you ever tried xenonauts? I bought it recently and I have found it to be fun if a little annoying as far as money is concerned since I’m used to the original X-COM where if you wanted money you just became an arms dealer selling laser pistols by the thousands but you can’t do that in xenonauts unfortunately if you do decide to play it i strongly suggest the community edition mod as well as the barley’s troop mod I think that’s the name it just raises the minimum stats of soldiers
Aavak cool any advice as far as finance goes? As I said I’m used to just selling dangerous laser weaponry to whoever will buy it so in the first game I played I was always just short of going into debt I know I should do every UFO mission I can and the ones I can’t I should air strike but I’m still short on cash
Caravan 76? Is this your 76th time starting a settlement or is this a strange reference to Fallout 76? I would not know why or what the connection betweeb both is besides the desert maybe. Anyway, I enjoy these! Thanks for the effort :)
Your Series got me interested. But after i looked the game up on steam i saw mixed reviews, with many reviewers complaining the game was abandoned by the devs. What you think?
My biggest Issue with this game is that If I try making a walled settlement then usually it will lag a Lot due to the enemies trying to get in and not finding a way in and getting locked in the circle logic of trying to get in and not being able to. Therefore I have to make a "sluce" for the to filter in rather than them maybe attacking the wall of something
While the devs had to move on from the game once they were acquired by Riot, they did pass on the torch to the ACE mod team (hence it being the 'authorised' community expansion)

Good luck with the house hunting.
You said you like mostly the start of stoneharth. Will you make a full series anyway?
So glad it's back! Been waiting for another SH series :D
Seeing as how you are in a desert, I would love to see you try your hand at designing a pueblo-style city built onto the sides of your local mountain; with little walkways made of wood and wide clay windows.

Aavak: Chooses hard difficulty
Me: *Battle of Dapper Deep flashbacks*
Getting early food in the dessert:
1(optional) pause the game
2 search with the camera for fruitbearing cacti. Don't search too far
3 tell your hearlings to harvest said cacti an haul them closer to base
Aavak playing Stone Heart and it has a number! It is a series! I am so happy in giggling!

I think we all know the logical choice for the next playthrough, sky land dwarfs, floating keeps!
This series reminds me of when i watched lathrix playthrough this game. The reason i discovered aavak!!!

Yes!! More stoneheart! This was the game that got me to watch this Channel, and I’m so happy to see this coming back.
Super happy to see you playing this again! I bought the game not long after your livestream of it, actually. :) It's so much fun!
10 minuets in and i am chanting "Sky Dwarf! Sky Dwarf!"
While my true love of Aavak games is Rimworld, StoneHearth Dwarf Fortress and Terraria are close runner ups! So I’m so happy and grateful that you are making a new series of this game. Hugs!
Actual gameplay starts at about 20:00
Ah! Thank you Aavak :) I was waiting for the return of Stoneheart! I love how much this game allows your creativity to go wild~ I really liked the failed past attempts with the fidgety archer heroes :P

I am so happy to see you playing this again Aavak it is so relaxing and fun to watch. Reminds me of watching your Dwarffortress and Gnomoria.
Wooooot I loved this game when you first played it and I was hoping for this mod!
I am very happy to see more of this game, as the first game that got me watching your channel was Gnomoria and this is the same style of game. I loved those playthroughs quite a lot, and will enjoy seeing you go through this one. Spiderslaughter and Castlegoat forever!
YES YES YEEESSSS!!! I LOVE this game and I LOVE when you play it!! So excited you started this up again!
Well, being half dead is better than being all dead. At least I survived being beat up by stone kindergarteners. lol
To be fair, their fists were literal rocks.
I'm excited for this series, can't wait to get more!

finaly you are playing a game i like. First time back on the channel after you quit From The Depths
Welcome back in that case, hope you enjoy the series :)
I am so happy this game is back and that it's getting a series :D

A Thea 2 series is unlikely while I have an ongoing Thea 2 stream game, but far in the future, almost certainly :)
Yay Stone Hearth thank you Aavak =)
Oh, you've convinced me to want to get this game! When I have the money to spare, I'm going to get this!
Make sure to check the reviews on steam first. Apparently the game has pretty much been abandoned by the original devs since they got bought out by Riot. It's still buggy and can get super laggy, and most likely won't get fixed. So be careful.
@@Amariel30 I suppose that's why there's community mods that add and fix things. Thank you for the warning!
WAT. HOW DID I MISS THIS?!
If Stonehearth ever was multiplayer, you should totally play with Lathrix. XD
Stonehearth has a multiplayer mode
my man you deserve a sub
Awesome video. Thanks for putting it up. I always love this game, wish I had time to play it myself. I’d also like to be added to the list of names to consider when naming the new hearthlings, if that’s an option.
I love watching you play stonehearth
Oooh, StoneHearth video. I'm excited to watch this one ^_^
I hope you enjoy :D
@@Aavak I most definitly will ^-^
Super happy to see this game back!
Ah, the perfect Background-Vibes to start cleaning up my place. =)
Do like the Stonehearth. I really Love and Miss Thea the Awaken series. WOuld love to see a series of that were trying to get more of the demon as member of the village
Cool glad this game is back, I am interested in seeing ACE I haven't tried it out yet myself :D
Edit: Also I really like the new outro sequence, much better than the shrunk down video was :D
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it ^^
love your videos it help with the boredom i felt during my cancer
You're more than welcome, I hope your recovery is going well!
Great video, looking forward to the series
Sleeping under the stars is AWESOME if the weather is nice. The weather looks nice here.
We just have to hope no dust storms catch us before we have a proper roof!
I love this game. Your the reason I actually started playing it.
Really glad you are playing with ACE wanted to see that being played quite a bit.
Super excited for this series!!! YES!
Whaaaaaaa-!! I wasn't expecting more of this! So excited! :D
So, clearly when you play the Dwarves it'll be with the Skylands setting turned on, right? Where better for the hardy dwarves than in the sky, as far from the ground as conceivable? Makes perfect sense to me.
The glitches will make everything better. Whether they’re glitching due to being dwarves in the sky or due to Hearthling logic, we’ll never know...
This game looks more awesome now. I am glad that I get to see you play I love how you always make a wonderful back story. If you could I would like to get a character if you get the chance. Thanks.
You can get thatch by digging up the top soil. You get a lot of it by building roads and buildings.
You need a mod to enable your archers to hunt.

a fellow dwarven architect, glad to see it.
Marvellous. I luv this game!
Wiii!!!! I love when @Aavak plays stonehearth :D :D is such a "him" game
Yaaaaaay! Stonehearth! I love this game!
Woo more StoneHearth!
(And with ACE as well!)
As always, my name is free for pulling from a hat! "Kd" as always :)
I got inspired by this LP to build myself a desert town in Starbound ^^;
Ah fantastic; this is something I'll want to watch ;P
New StoneHearth?! LETS GO! ^_^
When ever I hear your voice, I just have to smile :)
Thank you :)
yes!!! I’m so glad this series is back :D also Pick my name for a villager 🙌
Hi Aavak! I know I don't comment often but I would love to be a character in the series! Your videos are always a delight to watch and I love the RP and narratives you add to your little virtual worlds. Light, love and warmth to you!
And the same to you ^^
I have the same thing where i end up restarting games before i finnish them. Dunno why
The Mod (Smart Crafter) may be a great add
We're going to end up with sky Dwarfs next series aren't we...
I really enjoy your StoneHearth gameplay, I would love to be a Hearthling.
THE DAWI!
Woo! I'm so glad you're enjoying this game! I've spent so much time on it myself.
If I get picked for a Hearthling you can just call them Pris instead of my full name =)
It's back, better then ever.
I'll have to check out this ACE mod. I found vanilla to be rather lacking the last time I played.
I hope when the dwarves get released you'll make a series on them as well >.>
As we all should know, dying is FUN (ahhhhh dwarf Fortress)
loosing is FUN, dying is never fun.
I mean... to be fair, dying is sometimes fun in adventure mode, just because of the hilarious ways you can die in that game...
So thats what Soulwind and Big Al are up to when Aavak doesnt play Kenshi
Finally. I was worried you didn't want to play the game again.
Perhaps you could make the mountain into a temple dedicated to (insert preferred deity here), but keep it functional as a storage place. Then maybe put the market just below so that (chosen deity) can watch over, protecting.
How about naming a dwarve ( dorvari ironhearth )
I just noticed at 18:15, Caravan 76.. hmmm I'm afraid that spells more trouble than you'd initially wagered.
*_*Gotta catch up intensifies*_*
thx aavaaaaaaaak
the potter's wheel sound sounds like a bed when it's used by two people ;)
Hi, Avaak! So happy you are playing this game again. When the time come, I would love to have my name added, Deszaraeh. If possible, I would love to have a red head with a fox as a familiar 🦊 Are there artists in the game?
If you think of art in a broader sense, any of the craftspeople are artists ^^
I’m super excited for this playthrough, love this game! (I would like to toss my name in the pool if you please)
Has Radiant stopped developing Stonehearth? If so, did they finish or just quit? I think I've missed a few things in my absence of playing this game.
I'd also be happy to join your colony. (Just Mirage is fine.)
Good thing you got too ACE before RIOT sends them a cease and desist.
The game creators gave them specific permission to release that mod, hence the "authorized community expansion" name.
Ooooo... more Aavak Stonehearth. Add me in to the possible victi... I mean, possible hearthling names list.
Putting my name in, StormSinger
Oh man, I wonder how this will go.
I would love to be a Hearthling. Please Mr. Chaoticles let me be chosen.
A friend of mine raises Fennec foxes, they love berries and fruit.
I would like to have a villager named Jullos (yule-los) I'm looking forward to the series aavak :D
Omg yes I am so happy
eyy, cant wait.
Hey Aavak have you ever tried xenonauts?

Yup, have streamed it several times :)
Aavak cool any advice as far as finance goes? As I said I’m used to just selling dangerous laser weaponry to whoever will buy it so in the first game I played I was always just short of going into debt I know I should do every UFO mission I can and the ones I can’t I should air strike but I’m still short on cash
Just rebind the R key to rotate right. Set town alert to T, which is being used to make a trapper zone
I couldn't hit the like button quick enuf loved the twitch play through
The daystar burns, but i would suffer through it to join your colony.
moat and draw bridge?
Caravan 76? Is this your 76th time starting a settlement or is this a strange reference to Fallout 76? I would not know why or what the connection betweeb both is besides the desert maybe.
Anyway, I enjoy these! Thanks for the effort :)
It's always 76 from what I understand.
Your Series got me interested. But after i looked the game up on steam i saw mixed reviews, with many reviewers complaining the game was abandoned by the devs. What you think?
My biggest Issue with this game is that If I try making a walled settlement then usually it will lag a Lot due to the enemies trying to get in and not finding a way in and getting locked in the circle logic of trying to get in and not being able to. Therefore I have to make a "sluce" for the to filter in rather than them maybe attacking the wall of something
i love the sub count 202001 +1
Aavakeen - is that a Dune reference?
does this game still lag late game?
Not played this for a long time, but looking at Steam now its been abandoned since being purchased by Riot. I must play it again.
While the devs had to move on from the game once they were acquired by Riot, they did pass on the torch to the ACE mod team (hence it being the 'authorised' community expansion)
