Catching fish in the arctic waters may be a bit much however i think adding a few mods would enrich your experience quite a bit. Simple things like the "More Ruins" mod for more variation in the world you explore would be nice. "Expanded food" Is another neat choice as it adds more food recipes and ways to preserve food and get salt for a long term world. "Primitive survival" is a good one that allows you to slice and dry meat into jerky which would be FANTASTIC for this, It also adds fishing mechanics and some.. extra rituals.. For things like carrots, cabbage, and grain. The final mods i suggest are "Hud Clock" For ease of viewer so we can see: How cold it is, What time it is, When a temporal storm may come, and many other things. "Body heat bar" is still a hard push from me because its a kindness untold. Being able to see exactly when you should stop and warm up as to minimize the risk of when you take cold damage. Another standard gameplay suggestion: Dig in ruins more and get the bony soil! You can find very warm clothing in some ruins but they will be torn to absolute crap (I think this is base game, even if its not its still a good idea to keep your base clothes. Bony soil when panned can drop flax strands which can be made into flax twine. A single, SINGLE, piece of flax twine repairs clothing by 10%! Apart from my suggestions i am LOVING the series. I love listening to you and watching while i work or play other games. Keep up the good work!
I've caught up to here, it's good to see Blue Guy is hanging in there. AS for using tactics you don;t like, play how ever you want. Personally I don;t care if you pillar, make bunny pits, wolf traps, or bear murder holes... just please stop using a pejorative to describe it. For a few reasons, one; it's just a different way of playing within the core rules of the game, two; it's not "even cheating" (if htat makes sense) because it's single player, you set your own 'hardness' preference; and three; it's a pejorative. It's using a demeaning word to try to enforce that it's a "morally wrong choice". As for "your preference of hardness", mate, yer on hardcore (one life), hard mode (glacial biome), with an extra crank of hard difficulty on the side (Black Guard that relies on ranged combat, foraging, and Cracked Vessels). Make a damn pillar or murder hole and kill a damn bear to give yourself some breathing room. (I know, I know, I'm 15 episodes behind, you've clearly continued on waaaay past this point, this is me reacting in the moment.) Lastly... I don't know if I like the Arctic Supply Ruins. Maybe if it only gave clay? It's that it makes getting Linen Sacks and Handbaskets so easy... eh. We'll see. i might //warm// up to them.
I had no idea you could knap something with a different something! That's actually really good to know. Rocks and flint are so hard to find in the cold climate.
Risky crossing the water but it paid off! I love that they finally implemented the arctic ruins. I'm not sure going South will do anything, since you picked snowball, I think that setting affects the entire world climate, unlike the Icy climate start, which is just where you start out at.
You know, they aught to make it so you can eat bones. Crack them open and get a little food, or make a dish, fill said dish from a water source (you shouldn't need a bucket for that, or for several of the things they gatekeep behind buskets) and boil them for a soup. Also, Really stop eating the fat. You need it to make pelts for the next tier of bags, since there is no way you are gonna get leather bags or linen for sacks.
You dont manage your hunger properly. Vintage story character is a glutton, especially blackguard. If you feed it all your food - he will go hungry again really fast. You need to ration your food, keep character barely above starvation. It drastically decreases hunger drain but you will get almost no health regen. I survived like this in the arctic for a long, long time without the need to constantly hunt. Also, when i played in arctic - i hunted bears instead of foxes. With an inventory full of spears. They have much more meat and huge hides. 1 cured huge hide can be made into fur coat/shoes/gloves. Warmest type of clothing in the game.
If you haven't already you should try out the Primitive Survival mod, it adds fishing lines and traps you can place and bait to catch food passively. Plus, it would feel quite immersive doing a little bit of ice fishing. :) It gives also the ability to cut and dry bush meat and red meat into many smaller pieces of jerky that last longer but only give back a tiny bit of saturation each. It makes for decent emergency food rations and can be used as bait in traps.
As far as nerd poling goes, I don't do it because I'm inept and will die anyway. :D But I am not averse to making a safe house and luring a bear there to kill it through the doorway. I also make use of the trader inventories when I can. :D
So good to see you start up the grind but as some one mentioned before it might be a good idea to get some mods that add a bit more to your playthrough still remember watching the og series and cheering u on!
the clothes in the collapsed chests lie to you btw. they'll always display 100% and immediately shoot down to tattered% as soon as its in your inventory (you can see this happen in 36:12-13)
The music is a bit quiet to me now, along with the rest of the game sound, but not by too much. And I don't think you should adapt to my unusual sound setup and preference, I might compare with my other headphones. Sprinting absolutely does take stamina, or satiety as the game/wiki calls it, as it makes the satiety bar flash. So does holding light sources in the off-hand apparently, didn't know that yet. The maximum danger of the water seems to be lingering +50% hunger rate from the temperature drop. Perhaps you should save the leather and fat though and try to make a pelt, as this will greatly reduce the effect of the cold and help in moving forward. Similarly, the Hunter's faster running speed and hunter's backpack recipe make a big difference too, makes you able to outrun bears. I don't mind the somewhat clumsy play, I'm not much better either, the technical side of running a server is more my thing. That said, you'd probably benefit from looking at ruins in noclip mode to get a feel for where the pots are, activated with the F3 key while in creative mode. If I find the time I'll see if I can do the same in a fresh world and can give pointers, in the case of the large ruin with the grass in the middle I already can. It has a pot in the rings of stairs which is usually open to the air, another one in the water trench accessible by digging it out by one block and a third pot deeper underneath the entrance. These videos are inspirational for me, I've been meaning to pick up the game again (and adding useful stuff like vs.wyvern.red). Will soon trek to the north in my own server, pick up a similar playstyle for a bit and go looking for a good spot to build a new base. Which will be a sort of re-creation of my old Minecraft base, stopped playing before I completed it and I want to give it's concept another try.
But u can make a a spear with one Flint u Just knapp it with the Andasite Stone. Flint is the only Stone where this IS possible! Edit: u got IT way to late😢

I appreciate the sheer level of bravery needed to play Blackguard in this situation
If you get too desperate, you can pan sand and gravel for stones and flint. Long live Bloo Guy!

Sprinting increases your hunger at a higher rate than walking. I am considering trying a Cold Start VS series on my channel. Thanks for the series :)
Yes, music to voice balance much better, thank you! I too love the music and also want to hear your commentary.
Hey, sprinting does eat more satiety, as does holding something in your off hand and wearing armor.
Thought so ty for confirming.
@@Enns13 no problem man. Love your stuff, keep doing what you are doing!
best vintage story content, was definitely screaming about the knapping though
I thought the worn out, not been sleeping much comment was in character. Dude, get the rest you need.
Audio is good, a torch will light first time every time!
They must have nerfed flint/rocks in the arctic, last time I played a cold start it was everywhere.

Idea: nerd poling is allowed, but only from natural 2 block tall hills - you can't build one

Let's good! More cold guy for my Saturday workday!

He's got fat, I love this boy. "Dead Female Arctic Fox."
Polar Bears used to (when the ice actually still existed) eat seals mostly. But sadly, no seals in Vintage story.
A polar bear eating a penguin would be weird... Penguins = Antarctica, Polar bears = Arctic.
???
ice still exists?
polar bears still mainly eat seals as well?
Wow that was intense, best of luck with the next episode.

Yeah that mod sounds cool a few have told me about it. I think I'll give it a shot after I feel satisficed with my vanilla attempts.
As far as nerd poling goes, I don't do it because I'm inept and will die anyway. :D But I am not averse to making a safe house and luring a bear there to kill it through the doorway. I also make use of the trader inventories when I can. :D
I enjoy your videos bro
So good to see you start up the grind but as some one mentioned before it might be a good idea to get some mods that add a bit more to your playthrough still remember watching the og series and cheering u on!
Loving the vids, only advice video wise the end sequence the music drowns out the last 10 seconds or so. Keep it up for our cold lad !
I do it on purpose cos im a weirdo. ty for feedback
I love you.
stone types dont have to "match" to knap with them....
the clothes in the collapsed chests lie to you btw. they'll always display 100% and immediately shoot down to tattered% as soon as its in your inventory (you can see this happen in 36:12-13)
All bagged up
this shit is gold!! thanks for the vids ill be watching till you get malled by a bear or a little fox :)
Get home from work 'Cold Guy' episode. Life is good
I’ve been trying this challenge too with all the same settings. Is the only way to get dry grass is from the winter supply urns?
I tested spawning into warmer areas with same settings and found natural soil and grass. Need to head south, how far south I dont know.
@@Enns13 confirmed grass will spawn in certain areas
audio levels are good
Cool
re 56:08 yes I was going nuts about the knapping lol
my dude i don't understand... there is a flint in your hotbar the whole time
The cringe is real. I was basically dead by the time I remembered you can knap one flint with another stone.
The music is a bit quiet to me now, along with the rest of the game sound, but not by too much.
