>>Very Extremely WIP, please use with caution<<

This mod aims to add a village system into vintage story.

Features:

  • A new (and very rough) pathfinder that lets entities climb up (not down yet) ladders and walk through doors
  • Villagers that have a daily routine, they will go to their workstations during the day, rest by the fire during the evening and go to sleep at night
  • If provoked, villagers that own weapons will draw them and defend themselves

Roadmap:

  • More villager professions
  • Let villagers actually do their jobs, not just standing near their workstations
  • More villager outposts
  • More ways to interact with villagers (hire them, trade with them, ... haven´t decided yet)✔️
  • Dynamic village generation system✔️
  • Introduce ways to found your own villages ("breeding" existing villagers, transforming drifters into humans, ... haven´t decided either)✔️
  • Quests (if I get that far)✔️

💬 Cookieie, 1 day ago

Gerste, I am thrilled to see you posted a new update.  I have yet to install it.  I am anxious to see how it affects the villagers/villages already established. 

Also, thanks for the mention.  I am looking forward to others maybe posting vids about their village experiences. 

💬 GersteAuthor, 1 day ago

When I originally created the mod back In the day I was like "Hmm, if a villager does not have access to a bed he might still have an urge to sleep" and decided to let them sleep on the floor if they did not find a bed.

So it occurred that villagers would sleep in the open if they had no bed or could not find the way to their bed.

Then someone decided it would be a good idea to add in a bunch of new doors (and old doors that still work differently, and fences, and gates...) my pathfinding could not really handle.

So now villagers might decide to sleep out in the open if they dont like the door to their house.

Until I fix this I can recommend Lauras little worlds. She has probably the most experience of anyone out there with this mod and knows exactly what a villager needs to be happy (and what doors he can open)

I would encourage anyone to check out her channel, its just lovely to watch her care for the villagers and her videos have been a huge motivational boost for me.

I do plan to fix up the pathfinder for the 1.0.0 update though Wandour 

💬 Wandour, 1 day ago

I got a question

I don't know but I feel concerned when I see villagers starting to sleep outside of their house that contain their tables and beds 
every day i check on them they are sleeping further and further
have this been addressed yet? (this interaction with me was 1-3 months ago i think so im not sure if it was addressed yet)

💬 Artor, Mar 14th at 1:01 AM

Do you ever plan on adding features like Minecraft Comes Alive? I really enjoyed starting a family and having them help with chores in that mod.

💬 IAMspEeDex, Mar 13th at 7:38 AM

Is there a way to Revive a dead Mayor? He doesnt seem to want to use the beds i provide aswell

💬 Cookieie, Mar 11th at 9:11 PM

Gerste, thank you for the explanation. I do hope things turn for you. You will be in my thoughts. The little villagers and those of us who love them need you. For me, they are about 75% of why I play this game.  As I am sure you have figured out, I built a tiny YT channel based soley on these little creatures. Presently I am trying to create workarounds for the defects they are expericencing. Fences, lots of fences. They keep wandering away from the safety of home and get unalived. 

💬 GersteAuthor, Mar 11th at 7:44 PM

I watched a couple of your videos some time ago and loved every bit of it. Cookieie

Unfortunately my motivation has taken quite a hit and I havent really done as much as I wanted to in the past (or anything at all tbh).

I hope this gets better soon so I can fix those things and add some cool new features.

💬 Cookieie, Mar 11th at 6:51 PM

Gerste, Croteau and OakLucy, For a year I have primarily played with the villages. (Not the Quest mod tho) I've Traveled around fixing them, living in them, expanding them with expected results. After the 1.19 update my villagers have been confused. They do each others jobs, they don't go home, If they do, they end up in the wrong houses. They wander away from the village and never return. In some of the villages they can not operate the doors nor can they operate gates. I loved them then and still love the village mod and my little villagers, but I do wish they were the way they use to be, maybe better. 

For the people being introduced to this mod presently and facing issues that make it almost unbearable to play with, hang in there.  This really is a fun addition to the whole game and I have faith that the powers that be will fix the issues.  If you'd like to see some village game play look for Laura's Little Worlds on YT. I am not an expert but I did manage to figure some things out without a manual. Maybe it can help you. Look for the earlier episodes. 

💬 Croteau, Mar 11th at 6:01 PM

Hello, I believe I am having the same issue as some people previously where none of the villagers (to include the mayor) will speak to me? Does anyone know a solution? Currently running only this mod and VS quest on 1.19.4.

💬 OakLucy, Mar 11th at 5:24 PM

Hi. This is mod I really want to play with, but can someone tell me what i have to do to get the villagers actually live in my village? I call the Mayor with horn, finish his quest, he called 3 villagers, but they are not living in my place. when i look on the work stations, there is "resides in:" and its empty. the same vith villagers... they are just wandering away of my house, their workstations or beds... i dont know what to do... :/ i am new in VS game at all, so can someone tell me how can i play with this mod? :D i need instructions! :D

💬 Robertson, Mar 11th at 1:56 AM

SuaveDoggo

Unfortunately yes, that's the downside of doing it via the method I mentioned below.  I've experimented with deleting the player village entry in an existing save and it seems to keep the old details in the "Resides In" window for the existing villagers and workstations but adding any new ones doesn't seem to work and ends up with the "Resides In" details being blank, sadly.

Editing an existing village's entry temporarily to include only a well or clutter (as you've mentioned in your edit below) should hopefully work - just as long as you don't forget to change it back after you've made the village zone and want to go exploring again. I'll definitely have to test that out at some point later this week when I've got a little more free time, but I strongly suspect that Gerste is already in the process of devising a much better way of allowing the player to create a blank village zone from scratch for a future update. ;)

💬 Hydromancerx, Mar 5th at 12:44 AM

SuaveDoggo

Hmm that is a good point. I guess I could copy the tiny village and paste i. Means there will be more tiny villages but better than just a well village 

💬 SuaveDoggo, Mar 4th at 10:46 AM

Hydromancerx

While this method works, I wanna point out this means your player village is also added to the general village spawn pool as well so you're going to start finding villages consisting of just a well now. I couldn't find anywhere to define how common the different village types spawn so I'm not sure how if there's a way to prevent it, and i imagine removing the player village from the file would result in you losing your player village zone :/

 

EDIT You might be able to work around this by instead temporarily editing one of the existing village parameters to only generate a single well and generating that specific village type, then immediately changing the parameters back to default so not only future villages generate normally, but your specifically spawned village retains it's village zone status ! Otherwise you might want to add a few other structures to your player village so future-spawned ones aren't so empty

💬 Hydromancerx, Mar 3rd at 6:44 PM

So the placing of the player village worked! I had to try a few times to get it where i wanted. So go NW from where you want it and it should generate SW from you a few blocks.I haven't spawned a new mayor yet but I assume it should work if I stand next to the well.

EDIT The NEW Mayor is part of my village! Huzzah!

💬 Hydromancerx, Mar 3rd at 6:13 PM

Robertson

So something like this added to the villagetypes.json?
{
"Code": "player",
"Height": 1,
"Length": 1,
"StructureGroups": [
{
"Code": "well",
"Size": "SMALL",
"MinStructuresPerVillage": 0,
"MaxStructuresPerVillage": 1
},
]
},

💬 GersteAuthor, Mar 2nd at 11:31 PM

Very cool approach. Robertson
I hope to add a GUI to the mayors workbench in the future where you can found and manage villages.
But this is a really cool way to circumvent this missing feature in the meantime.

💬 Robertson, Mar 2nd at 5:22 PM

Unfortunately for personal use I've had to unpack the mod and edit the quests.json to change some of the conditions required by the mayor to make it a little less grindy and combat orientated. With regards to the NPC's not using the workstations or the Brazier - that's because those only work with worldgen villages, when you use the horn of summoning to spawn the Mayor and begin the quest line to hire NPC's and found your own village it doesn't actually generate a village zone around the player - I've gotten around this by editing the villagetypes.json and adding a new entry named 'player' which just contains one entry (a small water well), then I just use the console command "/genvillage player" to create a village zone with a well but no other houses right next to where I'm standing, that way any beds, work stations or NPC's that spawn nearby will automatically reside in that particular village zone. Hydromancerx

 

You need to use the horn of summoning to spawn in the Mayor NPC, he will offer the player some quests that spawn in additional NPCs for your village, including the trader that sells those workstations 'etc'. SuaveDoggo

💬 Hydromancerx, Feb 29th at 9:56 PM

So i can get the trader to follow me due to the trader interface but cannot get the farmers or mayor to. Is there a way to get them to go to their workstations?

💬 Hydromancerx, Feb 29th at 6:54 PM

 i play on settings where there are no drifters and I cannot do the begining quest with the mayor. Is there a way around it? I tried using creative mode to spawn drifters to kill but that didn't work either.

💬 SuaveDoggo, Feb 26th at 9:44 AM

Am I missing something, or is the only way to found a new village by pillaging the workstations from others or getting insanely lucky in finding one for sale from random traders ?

💬 MCRusher, Feb 25th at 5:30 AM

Thanks for the cool mod that breathes life into the singleplayer/local server experience.

 

Not sure if possible or not but it'd be nice if villages claimed the area they inhabit so I can't just rob them blind and cheat myself out of the hardcore experience.

 

When I'm starving early game and they have full fields of mature crops and don't retaliate, it's hard to resist.

💬 Khana, Feb 15th at 10:42 AM

dispite there bein beds for everyone, theyre sleepin on the floor... in the open.

 

 

💬 Khana, Feb 14th at 11:42 AM

is there a page that explains the workbenches? Villagers are not goin to bed instead jst sleep on the floor... and dnt stay in their area. is there a way to set a certain villagers spawnin to the workstation placed out instead of a random villager spawnin when the horn is blown? coz i dnt need 5 mayors n jst killed them all instead. plus the bodys clutter the area then as u cant delete them so had to dig a hole to hide the body.

 

 

💬 Daggeran, Feb 8th at 9:04 PM

On a small server that uses this mod... Villagers are going walkabout, not staying near the workspaces. Before 1.19 we found a villager had gone off to be with nature (ie: three hills over away from the village.) and it seems like these ones are trying to do the same. Several of the farmers are away from their workbenches near the center of town and are in fact hanging out with the soldiers around the perimiters. None of them go to their beds either. Our builder made neat bunk beds but they don't use them or even the singular beds, we have to remove the doors to get them in and out of buildings.

💬 Cookieie, Feb 8th at 3:25 AM

My villagers have decided to do each others jobs. Smiths are hanging in the gardens and Farmers are chasing predators with no weapons. I think there might be a problem. Also, the issue with them not being able to open some doors and gates still persists. I read the last comment. . .  I myself have never found the villages boring.  You get from them what you put in. I make them functional and pleasing to visit and move on to the next one.  I can roam the world from one to another and If I set them up correctly I can get different things from each of them. ie; food, meat, honey, ect. I love the villages and I am making them work for me. 

💬 TheEngineerGuy, Feb 4th at 11:26 PM

So far I liked visiting some villages for resources and so. In my opinion, it becomes quite boring after the 3rd or so, because they all look and feel the very same. Same loot, same buildings and same crops. I would like to see some variations in theme and style. But so far, it's excellent.

💬 Khana, Feb 4th at 9:00 PM

has anyone found a bug where tryin to break a hay bed throws u off the server? i ""Think"" its this mod doin it, the config says something abbout vs villager after yeetin me..

 

💬 GersteAuthor, Feb 4th at 3:40 PM

Automating stuff is exactly the scope this project does not have. I want to create some sort of village that is just fun to look at, with villagers roaming around and doing their own thing in this world. They do not actively produce for the player, yet they enhance your experience if you enhance theirs. Farmers will boost crop growth occasionally, shepherds will sometimes feed your sheep, soldiers will protect you if evil foes are nearby. I want the player to be able to help the villagers expand, but I have not really decided on how that will work yet. EveOfTheRoses

💬 EveOfTheRoses, Feb 4th at 1:52 PM

So from the description it seems to be sort of finding or creating settled and intricate versions of the trader camps and finding/attracting traders to live in them? With some quests to appease them with an additional mod?

What scope do you think you'd be interested in exploring with it in the future? Because I was thinking that something along the lines of Minecolonies would fit way better within the world of Vintage Story than most minecraft modpacks, especially since it is such a pain to set things up, but well, that's everything in VS and that's sorta the point. But really getting to build residences and workplaces for people who will in turn produce items related to their jobs and provide them to yourself and others, dictating where you want your builders to put guard towers and the smithy and then either providing them with the materials yourself or ordering some poor sod brave the mines to do it for you? Because this game requires so much from so many different professions and doing all this singleplayer means constantly juggling between numerous fields of progress it would be so nice to be able to sit back once you have a nicely managed town and let the potters form and fire clay, the smith make weapons and tools, and your farmer cultivate; whilst you get to focus on what brings you the most joy. Panning in a river for 8 days straight. Or exploring sure

 

💬 Wandour, Feb 2nd at 2:35 PM

I been having a problem with villagers especially the mayor

they seem to keep wandering off too far and never gather around a braizer

is there something we missing? because I cant find a guide

💬 vevi33, Feb 1st at 7:31 PM

Unfortunately rain is still falling though the building blocks (ceilings) in all villages. They have collision but it doesn't effect the precipitation. (Using the newest version).

💬 GersteAuthor, Jan 31st at 8:30 PM

Should be fixed in v0.9.2. Wandour

💬 Wandour, Jan 31st at 7:10 PM

there is a bug crash when trying to break a braizer

💬 BadRabbit49, Jan 26th at 5:59 PM

On Dedicated multiplayer server players crash when using horn and when trying to break items placed (Workstations, Braziers, etc.)

Hoping this can be updated since it's quite gamebreaking. I'm unsure if this is happening in singleplayer or not, but I'm assuming so.

💬 9Revan9, Jan 26th at 8:19 AM

Grifthegnome yeah that has happened to me and my friends on my dedicated server; for us, it eventually became breakable again and allowed us to move it without a server restart. This happened to us with the Aged Wooden Bed and the Braizer. Alos, when we getting kicked and returning, we had a duplicate of the item that threw an exception when we tried to break it.

💬 Grifthegnome, Jan 26th at 7:29 AM
My Friend Stole a villager's bed so that he could have a bed in the bed spawn point mod. But every time he put the bed down and broke it to pick it up. His client would crash and the bed would duplicate.

I believe that picking up a brazier from a village, placing it elsewhere and then attempting to remove it again crashes the game (at least while in multiplayer)

Also noticed the rain going through the structures of this mod, which in 1.19 seem to also mess with the new indoor ambient sound since the outside rain noise does not fade out when indoors. The structures can also eradicate vanilla trading carts if they spawn in the same spot. They also seem to use a weird copy of the sleek door.

Hi, 

Is there any chance of a command to recall missing villagers. i have 3 bodies.. fair enough i know 1 was a farmer and 1 was a guard. but i am missing my trader, 2 guards, a herbalist and farmer. not sure where my mayor hides during the day i hope he turns up for campfire.

Thanks

Hiya, my villagers seem to be unable to talk to me. Anyone else having this issue/have a fix? Also checking VSQuest side.

💬 ScantLobster, Aug 13th 2023 at 2:38 PM

Are we supposed to be able to light the braziers? Sometimes I come across a village where it is lit but mostly they just stand around a dark one and I can't figure out how to light it for them. Since we can buy them from the trader, it'd be nice to be able to use them as light sources that we could control. 

💬 Resserfi, Aug 6th 2023 at 5:42 PM

the problem its that if you choose to destroy the spawn of a villager and u kill it for the fall damage it die and respawn infinite and cause that 1 time my game crashed

 

so be carefull with the spawns

💬 GhiestWulf, Aug 5th 2023 at 4:35 PM

Is there a way to keep villagers out of my home, it's getting rather full, i got one dead one in the cellar and two up stairs, they seem to be attrached to my bed, i'm having to detsroy my bed and place it back again just to kick them out of it, which starts a fight,(note the dead body in the cellar)
maybe a totem of sorts, which has a radius effect for keeping them away form certain areas for a number of blocks, something small like a skull or flower pot, it could also work the other way and keep them in a local area as well, also it would be good if we can pick up bodies and move them, a couple of drifter killed off some town guards type and it's a bit messy having the dead bodies lying about.

Summry: 
- a totem for keeping the villagers away from or within a certain area.
- Moveable dead bodies
- lootable dead bodies

Really love creating my town and spruking it up, landscaping it and so, cheers for the great mod keep up the great work.

💬 GhiestWulf, Aug 2nd 2023 at 3:07 PM

Hi, ..Umm when you kill an npc how do you get rid of the body?

I mean it just stays where it died and doesn't seem to decompose, would be cool if it was lootable.

Also when you accidently hit an npc they stay mad forever, any chance of a cool down, say 24hrs, or till next dawn whichever comes first, that way we don't have to worry about getting rid of bodies, they can be very annoying when there mad at you, unless they kill you first then they forgive you, doesn't work the other way round thou, now Oliver corpse is stuck on my roof.

nice mod thou..

I and another player have noticed after updating to 1.18.6 and vo.7.3 that the villagers can not use gates. Nor can they use the original Wooden Doors (but that is fine, we have options for doors). Has anyone else had this issue?  Is there a fix for it?

💬 Voidwalker, Jun 27th 2023 at 5:06 AM

Yeah It would be cool so see the guards defend the town from natural threats though I know adding them in can be a pain. I had to make my own patch for Feverstone Wilds and the Bandits mod to make Direwolve's and Golems attack the various Bandits and hunters and Vice Versa but I'm still very new to modding in Json so it took a good bit to figure it out how to do it and work correctly.

I also found a Weird bug where the Trader would generate with a Old Male body but a Female name and tag in the tooltip. So far it only looks like it only happens to the Trader but its a pretty consistent thing.

💬 IAmJade, Jun 9th 2023 at 3:39 PM

We're having problems with the villager behavior in the .NET 7 version of the server game. The villagers "clump" together and seem to scramble alot. Also, they follow players incessantly. This is just an FYI. I know the .NET 7 is experimental.

💬 Voidwalker, May 8th 2023 at 7:36 AM

This mod has always been one of my favs, and is always included in my modlist, so thank you for updating and keeping it going!

Have you considered adding things like a graveyard or a Church to the Villages, or maybe a Tavern or shop area with traders near tents?

For Outposts what if it was just the Castle or a smaller version of the castle that only spawned with traders and soldiers and maybe a farmer or two? Maybe you could reuse the older Villages you made as smaller outpost templets? 

Also is there a way to patch in new things for the guards to Hunt/Fight? Cause im also using Feverstone wilds and some towns have packs of Direwolve's just hanging out making them impossible to visit safely

This mod removes the creation/existence of vanilla trader carts and their traders during World generation in 1.18.0-rc.2.

Surely, this is not what you intended? We (our server anyway) want to have the vanilla traders and their carts still in the game.

I noticed a Bug in the 1.18 Version causes an issue where you cant interact with the trader the town spawns. Not sure if its my Build or a minor bug but I'm running a slim mod list for 1.18 testing so i don't think it was an incompatability but I wont rule it out.

Experienced same issue as Vilderos and MrMoonshine for two times, while playing on server. I got locked in the bed and time just keept passing. One time on aged bed locked by herbalist, second time on hay bed locked by trader (even can say more... there were 6 different beds in a row, 2 beds of each type... he choose mine 🤣)
Rejoining didn't help, only server restart.

VS v1.17.11, VS Village v0.6.2, lots of mods, server on Linux.
Tried to reproduce it in single game and on local server on Windows with same mods - no sucsess, all works fine.
If someone have same issue let's cooperate to understand why it's happens.

VS and mod versions?
Bug appeared at single/multiplayer?
Operating system?
Have you mod OneBedSleeping?

P.S. For saving our server we just make for villagers and trader sleep "priority": 0.0, hope it will help for a while. Not sure, need to test.

It is cool to see life in Vintage Story, but the villages doesn't really have a function, I expected them to be all traders, different types of them in a single place, but they don't do anything, they just work as farmers and the blocks they are not good either. But its a fine mod if you want to add a little bit more life into the lonely world of Vintage Story.

Is it possible to have more control over where villages are generated. For example, the minimum/maximum height of the world at which villages will start generating or disable village generate on the water area? On my modified world, villages generate at water level.

In 1.17.6 houses with bookshelves spawn invisible bookshelves. Why?

💬 Edrein, Oct 4th 2022 at 2:16 AM

Some 1.17.4 (now trying on 1.17.5) issues I've noticed:

1. No matter what 'biome' a village spawns in, the plants report always being having heat-diffuculties and end up dying if you don't replant them.

2. Having done a few of the quests for the villagers the rewards seem a bit lackluster/weird at times:
2a. Farmers: Killing predatory animals seems to only give gears as rewards and usually a low gear amount; I've only seen 2-3 gears even if the quest was Kill Wolves or Kill Foxes.
2b. Farmers: The quest dialogue seems to be broken or the rewards seem to be for the Gather 20 meat quest. Half the time this quest states that they will give you seeds for the meat. The other times they don't actually say what they'll give you. But the quest name says something like, 'Turnips for Meat' and in turn you actually get turnip seeds. Feedback wise I'd love to see this be broken into two variants, one for seeds and one for actual crops.
2c. Blacksmith: Charcoal quest did not give me a reward. Or if it did it must have been a low amount of rusty gears.

3. Dead bodies linger for a loooooong time before finally decaying. Is there a mechanic to revive villagers perhaps that I'm missing, hence the corpses sticking around for a while? Additionally would it be possible to have dead villagers drop their gear.

💬 PeterSanderson, Sep 23rd 2022 at 10:48 PM

Love the concept, and want to see where you take it.

I noticed a few issues, others may have already commented on them.

The mod seems to be trying to generate in the same spots as translocator network temples and often ruins, with the resultant village being pretty much mangled and mixed with the other structures.

And also you end up more often than not with flooded villages.

 

I noticed also that in the spawn of a brand new village, brand new world, the terrain was also breaking up village spawning so that terrain would blot out fences or walls.

Is this due to something that is hard coded in the way VS distributes spawned locations? I have no idea how that works.

The same thing has always plagued spawned villages in particular in Minecraft. You end up with villages overtop of caves and chasms with huge holes needing to be filled, or in the case of the mingled spawns, fences and walls obliterated by the terrain or other structures.

Anyway, keep up the good work. I loved the larger village in the latest release, aside of the issues mentioned above

💬 SIN1K, Sep 13th 2022 at 8:30 AM

Not sure if this is a bug or just intended design, but I met with a blacksmith npc who wanted 1 iron ingot, 1 charcoal and 5 gears to make a weapon for his quest. I gave everything and completed the quest but didn't recieve anything in return, no said weapon or rusty gears. Am I supposed to wait a couple days in game for the NPC to give me the weapon after forging it or was I supposed to recieve it immediately upon quest completion? If it was the later, then that might be a possible bug to hash out. Loving your mod regardless though, really makes the world feel lively haha 😁

💬 SIN1K, Sep 8th 2022 at 8:44 AM

Heebeejeebees From what I understand, and from experience with using the mod in my game, you will need VS Quest for VS Village to work with the quest system integrated by VS Village. So if you're trying to install this mod with your game, I'd suggest installing both mods. Hope that clears it up 😁

💬 Heebeejeebees, Sep 8th 2022 at 6:15 AM

Update (fixed) from my last for folks having similar issues:  I had prior versions of this mod loaded in my mods folder but unchecked on the mods menu. I decided to go ahead and delete all versions and reinstall the most recent version of this mod and the VSquest mod fresh.  That got it working for me and it's working on the new rc.2 VS release.  

💬 Josyph, Jul 27th 2022 at 10:38 PM

Is the current version working with the new rc.2 release?  I am having trouble getting the mod to load right now without doing weird things to world gen--like, villages are loading but they are empty of villagers and surrounding chunks stop loading and i'm getting temporal instability. I might be diong something wrong like using the wrong vs quest version or something, and of course, I know that these are development versions and I'm happy to wait for more stable VS builds to get things working perfectly.  But I just want to be sure that 1) VSVillage 0.2.2 + vsquest 0.0.3 are both necessary (and are the right pair--I assume these two go together based on their similar release date, and 2) that they are more or less working on the rc.2 release.  Thanks!

(Ps this is a really really cool mod that really exhibits a lot of excellent work on your end).

This should be due to bad luck. The fortresses are generated in the same way as trader carts and should not interfere with the sanity system. Stejer

💬 Stejer, Jul 27th 2022 at 7:27 PM

I dunno if I just was extremely unlucky with my seed but everytime im in those fortress buildings my sanity goes down, is it a bug? im also using VS quest btw

💬 DemonBigj781, Jul 23rd 2022 at 2:02 PM

I got a crash when a villager sleeps on a bed.

The village was flodded btw. It is in the Issue tracker

💬 BlueFuryDragon, Jul 14th 2022 at 8:04 AM

So sad, I really like this mod a lot. Now I will be forced to wait until a stable 1.17. @Gerste

💬 GersteAuthor, Jul 14th 2022 at 7:39 AM

No sadly the updates are not compatible with 1.16.5. I already updated the village and quest mods to 1.17 before working on these new updates :/. BlueFuryDragon 

💬 BlueFuryDragon, Jul 14th 2022 at 6:58 AM

Are any of these updates applied to the 1.16.5 stable version of VS?

💬 iotid, Jul 10th 2022 at 12:27 AM

No worries!  Really love what you're trying to do with villages all around, a few bugs are to be expected.  I have a lot of fun slowly building up areas around the villages to look more lived-in.  Looking forward to some of your roadmap ideas.  😀

Thanks for the positive feedback. wwwolk

Sry for the inconvenience. I will attempt to fix these issues for the 1.17 release, but for now I think its best to roll back to 0.0.5. Lash iotid

💬 wwwolk, Jun 27th 2022 at 5:07 AM

Этот мод восхитительный!!! Вдохнул в игру новую жизнь!! Наконец-то мир ожил и в одиночной игре!. Жители дают квесты -это круто! Очень ждем развития данного мода. Авторам респект!!

💬 Lash, Jun 20th 2022 at 4:28 AM

Re: What Iotid said, we rolled it back but I was also experiancing that as well.

💬 iotid, Jun 20th 2022 at 12:16 AM

Have a player who's throwing exceptions and being disconnected from our server almost every time they kill something with v0.0.6.  From the server console, it looks like the game thinks that they have a VSVillage quest that they do not?  (The last quest they picked up and completed was one to turn in charcoal, rather than a combat related one.)  It's crashing both on killing mod-related creatures like anything from More Animals, as well as base game things like rams.  Another odd behavior is any time they kill a deer from Lichen's, it instantly turns the body to bones, or despawns it entirely, nothing lootable left behind.  Going to go throw the error logs up on github for you in a minute here.  Is there any way we can make this playable for the affected player in the meantime, like forcefully remove them from any quests, or should we just roll back to v0.0.5?

💬 Big_Bunga, Jun 16th 2022 at 12:05 AM

Love this mod, stuff like this that adds more ife to the world is exactly what this game desperately needs. I've had decent experiences with it so far, only real complaint is alotta settlements have a tendency to like to spawn in water for some reason. But besides that keep up the good work. cant wait to see what this mod turnes into.

💬 Zelascelar, Jun 10th 2022 at 4:29 PM

To me there's a big potential for a survival/strategy mix, I come from Age of Empires and the nr 1 dream with a mod like this would be the ability to hire villagers as soldiers who follow you or a banner. Then you can command them to attack or defend. Plus making buildings that works like Barracks for example, required to turn villagers into soldiers, at the cost of resources stored in another building. Just a dream!

To have villagers who gather resources for you would be a huge thing, with the need of managing the feeding system you mentioned, to keep them happy and not rebellious.

For the founding part I vote for breeding, but rather have it dependent on the amount of resources stored in the major building by villagers/players, and/or their happiness rate, rather than the numbers of beds or doors like Minecraft.

I like the system in Millenaire too, with how a village builds certain buildings - which can have unique features - where you can help with gathering resources for it.

But one step at a time! I'm keeping my eyes on this mod. :)

💬 Rufkut, Jun 2nd 2022 at 12:37 AM

I created a topic on the forums to discuss ideas further:

www.vintagestory.at/forums/topic/8861-villages-ideas-discussion/

💬 Rufkut, Jun 1st 2022 at 6:18 PM

Here are some ideas inspired by Settlers 6, Odd Realm, Banished, Tektopia and the Millenaire mod for minecraft:

 

FOUNDING A VILLAGE - Create a way to revive abandoned villagers which are already in the world. Alternatively you can purchase a trading post block from a trader which attracts nomads who you can turn into villagers and given jobs like in tektopia

 

PREGEN VILLAGES - Pre-existing villages have their presets for NPC jobs. Preexisting villages do not grow beyond their size and are self-sustaining.

 

NPC NEEDS - villagers have stats and three classes (TIER 1 - these NPC require food, clothing, tool, happiness; TIER 2 - require coal, wax for soaps and candles, bread; TIER 3 - alcohol, entertainment, cheese) 

 

HAPPINESS - Warmth, Entertainment and education 

 

FATIQUE - Villagers have a limit to how much activities they can perform before they need test.

 

EDUCATION or SPIRITUALITY - Provides happiness boost and makes NPC more efficient at their jobs

 

ENTERTAINMENT - Villagers especially higher class NPCs need entertainment or else they receive penalties when working or stop. They include a tavern, festival around bonfire, singing bard job 

 

CLOTHING UPGRADES - Clothing can be upgraded for increased weather resistance, shoes for increased travel speed, and increased storage when doing jobs by providing baskets, linen basket or leather bagpack

 

TOOL UPGRADES - The various tool tiers provide bonuses and speed based on the type of metal

 

JOBS TIED TO CLASS - villagers need to be of a certain class to do certain jobs 

 

VILLAGE LEDGER - This would provide a village ledger that provides a list of all villagers and the jobs or actions allowed by specific NPCs.The game Odd Realm could be looked at. From here, you can see villager stats and manage what jobs they are allowed to do. 

 

NPC HOME - Similar to Tektopia, buildings must be designated and have certain blocks based on the type of building it is. Each NPC home has storage. NPC will bring food to their home for storage and tools for their profession to limit travelling to a warehouse. 

 

PRODUCTION BUILDING - Each production building has storage. NPCs with the laborers job enabled will pick up material from production sites and bring them to the relevant warehouse or storage site. For instance, harvested material from farmer plots to granaries to bakeries. If there aren't any NPC with the laborer job enabled, the NPC with the job will pick up whatever item they need and bring it to the production site

 

BLUEPRINTS - Lost knowledge can be obtained by having special NPC trading the old blocks blocks you find underground. These provide points which can be used to purchase blueprints. These blueprints are used to unlock special buildings to put in the village, gear set, blocks special weapons and crops. This encourages exploring the game and ties into the vanilla lore, lost knowledge. 

 

TEMPORAL STORMS - Village area has spawn protection from mob spawns however during temporal storms mobs spawn outside the designated village area. These mobs are attracted to the village and try to destroy the NPC. These are monster raids. Defeating enemies in the village during these raids increasing the player standing with the village if it's a preexisting villager. 

 

CONTRACTS - NPCs can be contracted to tasks. This can be to dig a designated area. Clear all the trees in an area. Terraform an area. Craft goods with a long production chain over time if given the resources. Build a schematic/preset building once provided with the resources. 

 

VILLAGE CULTURAL THEMESE - Village presets can be made based on building schematics, though it is not limited to that. This is similar to the Millenaire mod. My ideas so far for the four factions mixing the following cultures:

 

EUROPEAN - Norman-viking 

BUILDING - 

SPECIAL ITEMS - 

 

AMERICAS - Mayan-aztec-

BUILDING - 

SPECIAL ITEMS -

 

AFRICAN - Kush-askumite-zulu

Buildings - Obelisk, More Pyramid, 

SPECIAL ITEMS - 

 

ASIA - Edo Japan - Zhou chinese - Mauryans

BUILDING - Temple 

SPECIAL ITEMS - Samauri gearset 

 

💬 Artor, Jun 1st 2022 at 8:40 AM

Would love to see this become something like Millenaire or Minecraft Comes Alive. Vintage Story can get rather lonely.

💬 GersteAuthor, May 25th 2022 at 5:18 PM

I tried fixing the crash in the newest version. ate0ate AVeryDandyLad

The settlements are already filled with filler blocks. The problem is that the fillerblocks get removed by worldgen and the water/ vegetation gets generated after the ruins section, so the village can still be seen as a perfect location for a body of water by worldgen. This might be something for later if I actually get to implementing dynamic village generation. NiclAss

I also tried adding a little bit of compatibility to the outlaw mod as a lot of people seem to use these two in conjunction.

💬 NiclAss, May 14th 2022 at 9:01 PM

A fix for @ate0ate 's problem could be to fill all air blocks within the settlement or lets say structure with Filler blocks to prevent Water or else to spawn in there

💬 ate0ate, May 10th 2022 at 11:00 AM

Amazing work! Definitely a lot of potential to something like this. Really makes a single player world feel a bit more dynamic and lived in. I also had the crash mentioned by ADandyLad below also resulting from a trader/village overlap. One other small issue I thought worth mentioning was if a village spawns in a wetland area or other biome with lots of water, then the village itself gets filled with water. Looks like terrain gen reads the village as some sort of lake meant to be filled and does its thing. Kind of amusing opening the village doors and being greeted by a wall of water:)

I hope this is the info you're looking for- as I said in my previous post, a village had a vanilla NPC merchant territory inside of it soo-

💬 GersteAuthor, May 9th 2022 at 7:16 PM

I have started fixing some stuff today, like the villagers not attacking wolves but running after them.
But I need more specific info on the error you are receiving in order to fix it AVeryDandyLad.

What would be very helpful ist the errorstacktrace. You could open an issue on my githup with that include or you could simply post it here.

💬 AVeryDandyLad, May 4th 2022 at 8:30 PM

Hi! There's an issue where traveling merchants that have spawned on top of villages causes the game to crash.
So far as I can tell, this is because the VSVillagers try sleeping in the merchant's claimed territory after which several chunks near the village cannot be approached without players immediately crashing their games completely.

This is one amazing mod that adds so much to my world and I'll be looking forward to whenever you do decide to take another swing at it!

💬 GersteAuthor, Apr 29th 2022 at 5:52 PM

This can happen due to the way the world gen works as of now. Villages are created together with vanilla ruins before plants and water. Because of that villages can be flooded/ overgrown just like ruins.

Thanks for reporting, I will look into the fighting behavior of villagers again next time I revisit the project. BlueFuryDragon

💬 BlueFuryDragon, Apr 29th 2022 at 6:25 AM

I found a flooded animal pen in one of the villages.

💬 BlueFuryDragon, Apr 27th 2022 at 6:16 AM

I absolutely love this mod. I have run across the mini castle like structure that has a lot of guards, no main gate, a boar and chicken pen, the problem is at this structure the guards go after the wolves but aren't killing them, I killed one of the wolves they were tailing and then they were tailing me but not harming me. Now I know that if you hit one they will kill you and thats ok, but this behavior seems broken? Is there something I can do?

💬 Amigurumi, Apr 25th 2022 at 7:16 PM

One thing I'd love to see eventually on this (especially if you add questing) is having the world gen aspects toggable in the config. That way servers could use the villagers and the mechanics in their own builds still if they don't have a set up that can handle a lot of world gen modding.

💬 GersteAuthor, Mar 18th 2022 at 6:36 PM

At the moment I have not set up anything like patreon or kofi, but I am always happy to read feedback in any form. If you are missing a feature, you could open up an issue on my github or you could simply post it here if github is too technical for your taste. If I like an idea (or if I think its easy to implement) I might add it to the mod. Rufkut

Yes WIP stands for work in progress. This mod is in a very early stage, so i figured it would be best to at least warn people that it could be responsible for all kinds of issues. BlueFuryDragon

💬 Rufkut, Mar 18th 2022 at 2:30 AM

What does "WIP" mean? Nvrm, I figured it out! Means "Work in progress?" I'm slow!

This mod is a solo player's dream. However, I tried to find a village on three different maps :) I hope that more villages will be generated in further updates. Very very great mod
💬 GersteAuthor, Mar 3rd 2022 at 6:24 PM

Thanks for the overwhelming feedback. Rhaela, RayTC, WickedSchnitzel, hussar, SilverBird

I actually missed the bug where villagers get stuck their beds ^^. I will attempt to fix this together witch the unnessecary rare villages. Rhaela

I really like the idea of something like a hearthstone as the village center. I will attempt to implement a central block that can be crafted and used to recruit new villagers if certain conditions are met. hussar, SilverBird

💬 Rhaela, Mar 3rd 2022 at 3:56 PM

This is awesome, and will def be looking forward for future updates. I feel villages(ers) are the one thing this game is really missing for singleplayer. There are a couple bugs, but at the same time, not sure if its this mod alone or with combination of others. One was after making my own bed and sleeping in it,  a villager ignored their own beds, jumped into bed with me, causing the day/night cycle to go wild. It skipped 5 days in 10 seconds lol. Was able to stop it by logging out and back in, but then, and I do think you are aware of it, the villagers became stuck on their beds. 

One other issue I noticed, though I dont think really a bug, its EXTREMELY hard to find villages. Towers can be found easily scattered throughout, but after traveling 18000 blocks, 15000 south, 3000 east, and updating the map throughout, I found a total of two. On another map, 5000 blocks in all directions, and only 1. Is it possible to increase the likely hood of finding a village? One more that might not be a bug, just bad placement, one of the two in the first map was submerged in a lake, the villagers freaking out lol. 

Thank you, and again, verry awesome mod, will be looking forward to future updates. :)

💬 RayTC, Mar 2nd 2022 at 1:33 PM

this is amazing. I've built tons of villages and until now they were empty. Can't wait for a stable release!

💬 WickedSchnitzel, Mar 1st 2022 at 7:19 AM

Even though this may be more relevant to singleplayer, i would also love to see players being able to attract npcs to villages, giving them jobs to gain ressources and experience to get better in their profession. Much like suggested down below and maybe something similar to the Dragon Quest Builder games.

💬 hussar, Mar 1st 2022 at 4:34 AM

I love this idea. It would be fantastic if the player could somehow build a village, attract villagers, and earn resources from their work.

If I may make a suggestion (and augment SilverBird's comment):  you build a hearthstone, spend large amounts of food and resources there to attract villagers (a certain number of SAT points of food for each new villager, and enough stone/clay/wood for them to build their home, and specialty items such as an anvil for a smith, an oven for a cook).

Farmers would produce raw food resources, cooks would turn raw food (from the farmers or from you) into food, smiths would process ore, etc.  

💬 SilverBird, Mar 1st 2022 at 12:07 AM

Ooo, this mod has tons of potential!

I would reccomend that, to bring in new villagers, a player would create suitable homes, provide jobs, and perhaps other incentives to attract newcomers from the world, basically they are people who choose to join your town. "Breeding" or transforming drifters just sounds rather strange.

Perhaps creating better conditions for your villagers would result in improved performance, better trade prices, attracting more/better villagers, etc.
