The DARK SIDE of Vintage Story! 

Love the home improvement, who needs food when the house you starve in looks amazing!

Copper ore spawns right under copper bits

*Watches Timmy lose his mind waiting for Leather to cure* *Laughs in Steel Production*

Another episode, hell yeah. Btw, in case you are not aware yet, surface copper/other metal bits can mean underground veins directly underneath. So if you can find those areas you found the bits on, you're going to have a ton of copper

8:41 so there is a phenomena called a "dry thunderstorm" where it will literally randomly start thundering out for no reason

i love seeing the progression of tools, similar to how people historically advanced their technology. from hunting and gathering to preserving cooked goods and tanning leather. i absolutely love the detail of this game.

if you ever find an "ancient bed" (or whatever they call them) in those cobblestone ruins in the caves make sure to take it. they let you sleep for the longest time of any of the beds i believe.

Spawning into an area with no limestone, marble or chalk nearby is always depressing. Good thing you found the trader. For the slow winter months, I bring in a bunch of gravel and sand, and any bony soil I can find. Sifting is also tedious, but you wind up increasing the quantity and variety of resources by doing it -- and it's cold, outside. If you go out hunting, the coats of all the animals have changed colors and they're on you before you can spot them. I also hold off on base improvements until the snow starts to fly. Use the summer months to gather resources; use the winter months to process them into useful things.

I appreciate that you immediately got captivating by the chiseling mechanic, it really is too good to resist. These have been fun to watch.

Wherever you found meteoric iron, there is an impact there. (suevite stone and meteoric iron blocks which drop more meteoric iron) You wont be able to do anything with it until you have iron but it is a great find. Suevite can also sometimes drop diamond when mined which you can sell for a good amount of gears!

I really hope you have been marking all those spots where there was copper bits laying around. That means there are "surface" deposits under it, usually like 5-10 blocks under. If you want an actual bountiful copper harvest then randomly looking in caves will not cut it, you will need to learn how to use the prospecting pick! I wont spoil too much but you got really really lucky with those copper spawns because ore generates very different in this game compared to Minecraft. Interesting watching you learn though :) Edit: Limestone is just a regular stone layer like granite for example so look under the dirt layers in gravel deserts or actual sand deserts, they have a high chance to just have limestone layer underneath wich stretches the whole biom

I love your editing style, its really natural and laid back compared to a lot of the content that tries to be in your face and "challenging" but youre just enjoying the game like normal, and youre creative and charismatic enough to make it enjoyable to others. keep it up!

Made me excited to learn how to preserve food finally, my adhd ass could never sit through a tutorial explaining every little detail, love the vids bro

Have you looked into trying out raising animals? It takes a few generations to completely domesticate them, but it's a steady supply of red meat, fat and hide, and you can eventually get milk from the sheep... All in all, really enjoying watching you figure this game out. Best of luck!

If you want to look for other stones, such as lime and chalk or borax, try the prospecting pick! I would also recommend the clientside mod prospectinginfo. All it does is record the data of your prospecting to your map, so you can keep track of it. Also, when you see bits on the ground, dig under them! There are typically veins of whatever the bit is, directly underneath! So mark where you find copper bits for sure, and then return with a shovel and pickaxe! :)

tips for vintage story 1. tap F4 to remove every thing from screen while playing 2. tap F5 to change camera 3. tap F6 to enable/disable minimap 4. tap 'C' to see stats, date, temprature and filling all stats like protein grain dairy etc will increase your hp 5. hold Alt to use mouse mode can be useful

Idk if anyone mentioned it or not yet as there's just a massive amount of gameplay to sift through when you're first getting started. But, when you hold an object in your off-hand it increases your hunger (satiation) drain by 20%.

I love how you stack up for winter yet you still almost died from hunger😂😂

Good to see more people experiencing Vintage Story

19:47 You absolutely CAN make porridge with your grains. They just have to be the base of the meals instead of the meat or veggies. You can then add either fruits or vegetables to them for other nutrients, or more grain to make them extra thick. The game figures what the base of a meal you are cooking is from what's first put in the pot. The easiest way to do this is to use two of something that is exactly the same in the first two slots to set the base. Two of the same meat gets you meat stew, two of the same vegetable gets you veggie stew, and two of the same grain gets you porridge. You can then add two optional things to make the meal more hearty and flavorful and to provide other nutrients. Meat can have up to two veggies or one fruit, or a combo of both. Vegetable stew can have up to two other veggies or two soybeans, or a mix of both. Porridge can have any combination of two fruits, veggies, or grains. If what you put in the pot is a valid meal recipe, it will state what you are cooking in a short description above the cooking pot slots in the campfire. If what you put in the pot is NOT a valid meal recipe, there will be no description of it above the cooking pot slots. You must also make sure that all the ingredients are of the same quantity, so that you get equal servings.

Every time you find any ore on the surface you will find more in the ground right underneath it. So surface copper has at least a small surface vane of copper under the soil layer and maybe a coupe stone blocks down.

Just FYI, If you hold the alt key you can unlock your cursor from the camera so you don't have to look at every single pixel when you're smithing/knapping/clayforming. And that bismuthinite you found can be used to make bismuth bronze if you can find some sphalerite to mix it with along with your copper. And definitely get a prospecting pick too because cave diving is super dangerous until you hit the bronze age at least, plus you have no way of knowing how much copper is in an area without one and you might just be jumping down a lethal cave for nothing. You can find shallow surface deposits by looking for copper bits on the ground but those veins aren't very big compared to the ones you can find deep underground. The best way to get ores is really just to prospect until you find a good reading and then dig down while prospecting every 10 or so blocks on the node search mode until it picks up ore nearby. love the series, please keep going!

By pressing C you can inspect your status effects, access your clothes and armor and look at your current time and date of the year

never had so much fun watching a lets play like this in a long time, this is so much fun to watch!!! Really hoping you had a good time making these videos because i can tell you put a lot of effort into them and it really pays off :)

The caves remind me of Castleminer Z. That game had cool caves.

14:10 Meals are even better than you thought. They are also extra filling. Eating a meal will give you 30 seconds of no hunger loss for every 100 satiety it refills. This means with some of the better meals you can get between 5 and 7.5 minutes of not losing hunger after eating. Plus, if you happen to only eat a partial serving, it will keep the other part for leftovers (shown as 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 etc.) so you can finish it before you start on a new serving and not lose anything.

I appreciate the editing you have in this video. A lot of VS videos are drawn out and kind of boring because they dont have cuts and humor like you have put in. I really appreciate it!

I don't know why I am so enamored of the fact that you know nothing. The copper bits on the surface hide small pockets of ore near the surface

Poleeeaase keep going with Vintage Story, your playthrough has been so entertaining, lol!!! Make moooore and faaaaster! XD.

Man for someone who started a month ago, that was really impressive and hilarious, watching you improve and do whats needed, I enjoy your videos, definitely subd, definitely hope you choose to find a server to join as well, keep it up! I look forward to your progress and stay safe!

i hope this series continues

As usual, great episode! Btw, you should start growing plants during spring. Not only vegetables (or fruit trees), but also flax. Flax will be very useful to you because you can make fabric from it (for a mill sail, clothes, bandages, etc.). If you want to prevent animals from eating your plants, you will have to invest in building a fence. Good luck!

Must be hard watching this back knowing you could have probably dug under most of those copper nuggets you found and found massive veins :D

Someone has probably said this already but If you put the grain in the first 2 slots of the cooking pot you can make porrage which you can add meat or vegtables into the last 2 slots

Just recently found your channel Timmy and have been enjoying your Vintage Story videos. Looking forward to future vids :)

Love it. Remember the surface copper is a sign that there is a node down below.

Yayyy best thing to wale up tooo. Good video brother!

Some tips on farming for after winter: crops will be killed by rabbits, temperature, or if planted near saltwater, so build a fence and dont use saltwater. Also, make sure you are using medium quality soil or better because crops consume soil nutrients. Further down the road, you can make a greenhouse to grow crops when it gets colder.

i dont know if anyone told you yet, but bismuth can be used with zinc and copper to make bismuth bronze

You can make multiple portions of food, not just one. You can make up to six at once, 4 fitting in a croc.

Another awesome episode, thank you!!! Not surprised you went ham with the chisel,, it's very fun to use lol. You'll probably have lots of time during the winter to spare, too, once the nights start getting really long.. so I've found just decorating around with it is a nice way to spend it ^^ Also, speaking of winter - you should probably look up how to make a pelt in the handbook, and the clothes you can make from them.. you're gonna need them. And on the topic of food - you _can_ make meals using grain: the recipe is the same as with the meat stew pretty much, only grain replaces the first two (or more) slots in the pot; the same with veggie stew. You can also make soup by filling the first spot with 1L of water per each portion, in case you find yourself short on ingredients. Also, you mentioned linen - that's made from flax, which is gonna be really important down the line. It's probably too late by now to start planting, but just noting that for future reference :)

Hey! Next temporal storm, turn your view distance to over 400! :D Edit: Next time you find copper surface deposits, mark it, because there is nearly always a copper deposit underground under it

25:00 I see you have suevite which indicates a meteor. Meteors contain meteoric iron, the second-best metal type. Make sure to mark it!

Finally made time to watch the new episodes. I’ve been getting scared to play my own world cause of how stressful the farming is but watching this gave me some new confidence lol. Great vid. Cane wait for more. 👍

love your commentary and editing!

The true dark side of VS is 1x1x1 chiseling.

You should check the guide book for prospecting its an easier method to dig out huge veins of ore without risking your life going into caves seriously watching you go into a cave without armor is crazy to me, caves are really dangerous end game areas, some enemies in there can 1 shot you if you dont have armor and i would be more careful, just try to not go too deep.

Hey king. Really love the series and I hope you continue. Always remember the H guidebook is your friend. Make sure to get a prospecting pick to start doing some geology to find ores and MIX THOSE METALS. Keep it up though, I think you got a winner with this one.

These videos are so awesome

I don't think lightning can start fires, but you certainly don't want to be standing out during a storm.

Welcome to the Leather Age!

man even with a prospecting pick I don't find as much copper as you did just stumbling around

you *will* need that borax later, by the way. specifically for an iron (or even steel) anvil.

my man's FOV is making me sick lol, forever sprint mode

You know you don't have to take all your smithing and crafting tools with you everywhere right? :P You may want to look into Bismuth alloys.

5:19 LOL

No Luke. I am your FATHER!

I pan for copper. it is relaxing and safer than hunting it...

How lucky are you? I never find any copper just like you did. Also if you found above bits of ore than down it are more ores

12:38 i am triggered a croc can hold 4 serving and he has enought meat todo that lol

where u found that meteor iron: under it there is way more iron ;)

wait you found meteoric iron thats rare make sure that you marked that area from you got meteoric iron bits because meteoric iron tool are the best but you need iron anvil first

what up with the map ?

Just why are you not numbering your videos man !!!!!!!??????

You think this game has a dark side? Wait until you see/meet Dave 💀

don't chop down any trees that give you resin. the trees you grow cant' give resin. only wild spawned trees do.

777 Likes. Let me ruin that.

Bonita casa bro, vives como hobbit

Next episode when?? 😡

you should prospect instead of looking for caves

this series has taught me more than dedicated tutorial videos might start my own series on my channel JimmyTwoTeats
