    Lol, brilliant as always. Terrain ruggedness is something I'd like to address still. Clunky world edit and prospecting should be improved in 1.19. Chiseling a block is actually 4096 voxels, because 16*16*16 :P

      My favorite way of looking at it is like this:
      Minecraft is about macro, vintage is about micro.
      Minecraft is known to have massive sprawling creations, be it with redstone or just the sheer block count.
      Vintage story is known for its ability to chisel blocks and add extreme amounts of detail on each.
      Because for vintage story, it's the little details that count. The micro.

    Important bit of info: gear IS NOT a sanity meter! It's more like a Geiger counter that shows the level of temporal unstability in your near proximity. Low temporal stability = more drifter spawns in the dark. Some areas on the surface and most areas underground will have a permament low stability and this will push your gear backwards. Being in temporally stable area will push your gear forward. There's also Rift activity that is more like temporal weather - it will change over time and affect spawns of the temporal Rifts.
    The misconception about the temporal stability being sanity is so common, it started to annoy me a little...

    • @SxSxG666
      @SxSxG666 4 місяці тому

      The gear not only turns to show temporal unstabilities and the likelyhood of drifters to spawn it also loses it's color in order to show your own stability. If the gauge loses all color you start to lose health. With the xskills mod you can even get skills that affect your own stability to reduce the speed your "sanity" drops down. Maybe you don't get it right after all.

    • @theguyfromsaturn
      @theguyfromsaturn 2 місяці тому

      I think a reason some people associate temporal stability with "sanity" is that drifters only seem to be perceived by player/humanoid characters. To animals, they do not exist. And some of them really do appear to just be partially phased into this world. I reserve judgement if it's a valid take until the lore is fully fleshed out. I am not currently sure that the Drifters are meant to be .

    • @cattsythekitty
      @cattsythekitty 2 місяці тому

      @@theguyfromsaturn I'm assuming that's because only the person seeing the drifters is "temporally radiated" and this personal instability draws them only to this person. And for why they're phasing after the temporal storm?... Maybe the local stability is rising rapidly after the storm ends and they're struggling to stay in the world? Like they want to stay, but are being forcefully pulled back to their dimension? Only Tyron knows 🤷

    I'm an old gamer that played Minecraft when it was in its infancy and have seen Minecraft grow to be the wonderful game it is today. So when I found out about Vintage Story, I jumped in...and immediately felt overwhelmed. Not gonna lie. My first few hours, I died more times than I care to count because "XXXX believes food is optional". Then the wolves... and the bear... Holy crap though, I persisted and let me tell you, it is as immersive of a game as you will find. It's a tough game and not for the faint of heart. I have struggled but having the help built into the game is a winning move by the devs. I am looking forward to many years of getting to love this game. Tough yes.. but nothing easy is satisfying.

      Same here. I played Minecraft since about 2010 (and I am feeling old now), and I still like it very much. I do think it kind of lost its vision since the time after the nether update, but it is still nice to play.
      I started Vintage story about three weeks ago and am now on my first steps into bronze age. And let me tell you, when the first temporal storm hit, I was sure I would just put this game away and be done with it. I loved the atmosphere, the more realistic design, the complex chains to craft even the simplest stuff, because the payoff was far greater than in Minecraft. Not only emotional, but a copper pickaxe takes less resources and holds for more blocks than an iron one ever did in Minecraft.
      But the Temporal storm mechanic caught me off guard. I was expecting something like in 7 Days to Die, Hordes of Zombies crashing against my non-existent defenses. so I searched for defenses and found none that I could build. Alright, I killed one or two drifters before, and maybe I could just hide in my little hut, so how bad could it be? After all, the game had to give you something to not kill you outright, right?
      The temporal storm hit, and I could look outside through some small holes. It looked amazing, and again, I loved the atmosphere, how the world warped, and the thing-that-should-not-be in the distance. And then a wendigo-looking drifter spawned inside of my hut and killed me in one hit. I was more perplexed than shocked or angry. I was now back at spawn, not at my bed how I had expected, and died a couple more times trying to escape those drifters right in the middle of the night. I managed to dig a little hole in the earth, hid there, and realized I needed this for my base, stupid as it was. But from then, it was just a waiting game, which kinda sucked. I don't know how people survive temporal storms in the early game in any other way except for cheesing them in a "murderhole", as I had learned afterwards.
      Afterwards, I went back to crafting and the progression, and I liked the exploration of the caves, mining, occasional more dangerous drifters, and loved it again. So it stuck with me, and I am absolutely happy. But, the temporal storms need more work, I feel.
      TL;DR: Love the game, especially the horror vibe, but some mechanics might need to be improved to make it at least a little bit less frustrating for new players.

    honestly, i'm sold. i'd been kinda been ignoring vintage story, writing it off as just "another slightly too realistic minecraft ripoff", but watchin this has me totally convinced. i adore minecraft, but it feels like mojang (though let's be real, it's prolly microsoft makin em dilute everything) doesn't or can't cater to more seasoned players like myself. it's the main reason i enjoy modded so much; it freshens the experience, giving me more to do, harder challenges to face, and more complicated gameplay to work with. and vintage story just has all of that in the default game! it feels like vintage story is a version of minecraft that's had a chance to learn what it did right n what it did wrong, n work off of that experience to make something even better. gonna go get it for me n my friends right now!
    EDIT: AND MAN, ACTUAL LORE?? i forgot to even mention that in my praise, i love lore so much. i do appreciate quasi-lore like what MC does, givin ya lil bits n pieces to clue it all together with is a fun way to do things, but sometimes it feels like a lack of commitment to an idea more than it does giving freedom for players to decide

    Finally giving this game a proper go over the passed couple weeks.
    Had it for over a year but I was too confused and afraid to play it by myself.
    Having started my own server with friends, it makes things much more interesting.
    The game adequately satiates what I would like out of minecraft, and what I feel like is reminiscent of old school minecraft.
    Minecraft fails to capture me anymore and hasn't in years, I've largely lost interest around 2013-2014 and I find burnout to exist rather quickly.
    Whereas VS, keeps me constantly doing things and working towards the next struggle. It kinda gives you constant things to do, similar to Rimworld. Thusly, you'll wake up and play till the sun comes up without realizing it.
    There is so much content and things to do in contrast to minecraft. Much more risk factor and higher amounts of personalization/affinity towards your crafts.
    I love that the game doesn't plateau quickly with each age. You more-so have a plethora of things to do in each age, to pad them well out. Where as Minecraft, the most padded out age is the iron age. Which loads of craftables tied to it. They still feel rather insignificant in the grand scope of things, whereas VS gives everything you have a purpose. You will still do primitive survival things while in the Iron Age. Bronze also has quite the extensive purpose as well. Alas, I can ramble on and on, point is, Minecraft has a very straight forward gameplay loop that flattens out quick, when VS gives you constant goals to work towards. There is no room to be completely clueless as to what your next objective should be. The game hands them out to you when you run out of personal goals.

      A combo system like Zeno clash? Directional attacks?

      I think bullseye is also a great ranged mod, I would love it as standard but sling users might be upset.
      More weapon types with unique properties gets my vote. Weapons that might stun, others that cleave, maybe one that applies a DOT... Could be a mace, great sword, and dagger respectively.

    I have got to try that new build. The dungeons alone!!
    I adore VS. I've never played a game like it.
    I think my favorite bit is the food system. You can swap out dry dirt for more lush dirt that has more minerals, once you've found some. You need to rotate crops so the dirt replenishes those minerals over time. The herbivores and omnivores will try to steal your crops, so you need them fenced in, or in a greenhouse once it gets cold. All of that is before ever actually cooking, which has hundreds of possible recipes, and needs wax sealing, and a cool dark place to store it so it doesn't go bad in the heat of summer because it's hard to collect food in winter.
    The smallest things feel like an incredible achievement, like actually locating a beehive, and getting the bees to migrate into a skep to relocate them to your home. Beehives are very difficult to find, and you need to listen for them, and watch the tops of trees for tiny bees flying around. Also note that skeps need protection, too, because racoons want that sweet, delicious honey!

    Yep, this video is pretty accurate. Of course you CAN mod Minecraft to have a lot of these features but it just feels way better when they are built in instead of tacked on. The game does feel quite time-consuming to play though, everything takes a long time. Whereas in Minecraft you can fill a whole world with your creations, in Vintage Story building just one big house can feel like a huge achievement (also because of the chiseling, which encourages you to detail every little thing). VS is better than Minecraft if you're looking for that. It's not better for you if you just want to chill and build. I'd definitely encourage everyone to give it a shot, though.

    The world is actually not infinite. Its round. The equator is hot, the poles are cold and from the equator to either pole is 50k blocks. Meaning to travel from 1 pole to the other is 100k blocks. This isnt that bad in MC but because terrain is so rough, its a hell of a trek.
    However, since it is round, you have quite a lot of land available to you as well

    Im so glad more people are getting into this game, tried it awhile ago and Im waiting for more content to really sink my teeth into it with some friends. MC became just too ez and shallow for me personally especially with how strong armor and weapons are now as well as how easy they are to acquire via villagers and nether bed mining, and Hytale is sufficed to say, not coming out any time soon so this game is right up my alley.

    I'm curious about this game, but a couple things keep me from giving it a fair shake.
    First is the ridiculous-looking player characters and npcs. They don't feel like they quite line up with the rest of the world, and just look sorta uncanny. It's a bit confusing since the rest of what I've seen looks very pretty.
    Second, which I didn't know would even be a problem until this video, was all the talk about extra steps and "realism". A lot of stuff shown here doesn't look fun, engaging, or immersive. Just tedious. The only way I could justify the idea personally is if there's no durability system, which didn't seem to be mentioned at all.

For future players I would recommend only 3 mods. Better Ruins, Simple HUD Clock and ViesCraft Machines. I have played many games but always get bored, but this game is different. But there are few things to mention which I dont like about this game. This game is little grindy, low varianty of enemies / bosses and prepare, that your free time will disappear. GL HF

    Fun Fact:
    While game updates BREAK Minecraft mods, Vintage Story's game updates don't always break them.
    Meaning players can keep using a mod from v1.00 in v2.69 if desired, all depends on what files it references and what exactly changes.
    So just test them BEFORE thinking they won't work.

    Vintage story and minecraft are fundamentally different games and shouldn't be compared overall. Minecraft is more sandbox based while vintage story is more survival/story based.
