BetterRuins

I will try to answer your questions individually now:

Q: Now you're contradicting your own statement. You told me that desert story POIs spawning in cold regions is normal and can't be helped, and now it's apparently not intended and not happening, even though I just showed you a screenshot with two of them NORTH & nearby of the temperate spawn?
A: I never said that its normal but its true that it cant be helped and is possible to happend depending on specific worldsettings mainly equator distance. The screenshot you showed me shows them in completely fine spawning. They are close to spawn being temperate climate and no where near cold climate. Bcs again they are aimed to not spawn far enough from spawn that they will generate at complete cold climate temperatures (if you change equator distance to something around a distance where at 5k north you would be in deep snow this would be exactly the issue you are talking about but since this is an unusal setting change this cant be prevented by us. But even then you have a 50/50 chance of it spawning more north than south.

Q: What worldgen setting on my end would cause this to happen?
A: If you set your eqatordistnace very low it can cause it to be in more extreme temperature distances.

Q: I never touched any temperature settings, which by your previous statement aren't a thing for story structures anyway and I also cannot even see any story structure related settings within the UI.
A: I said that there is no way to define in what temperature a story structure spawn but its possible to define the temperature around the story structure. And I also wrote that you can modify the story structure temperatures in the mod files (not config) storystructure.json (this is not a global config bcs its not intended for the average user to change that)

Q: I'm feeling kinda gaslighted right now.
A: I guess you are feeling gaslighted because you are not understanding what Im trying to explain to you and Im not understanding what you mean with some if the statements and questions but im happy to keep trying to answer them.

I will also try another approach and explain our thinking for implementing such structures with the crossroads as an example:
Size of the structure is larger than 100x100 it goes into story structure category. It should be able to be found by players by a map from a trader this also needs it to be a story structure. It needs a flat desert to spawn in this makes it a story structure with a set temperature to set a desert around it. (only the higher temperature allows deserts to generate around it / other way around for glaciers for the forlornhope stuff for example)

Now you're contradicting your own statement.

What worldgen setting on my end would cause this to happen? The only thing I changed for the mod config is through the in game UI by increasing ruin spawn chances in general, and the removal of spawn distance. I never touched any temperature settings, which by your previous statement aren't a thing for story structures anyway and I also cannot even see any story structure related settings within the UI. I never went into the config files or let alone the actual mod files themselves so I'm feeling kinda gaslighted right now.

NiclAss , Mar 14th at 7:14 PM (modified Mar 14th at 7:16 PM)

I hear your concerns, but we’re circling the same points now. To be clear: these structures and their temperature settings have been in the mod for over two year. In all that time, they have functioned exactly as intended for the users of this mod without being flagged as a major issue.

As I’ve explained, this is a technical choice to ensure the structures spawn correctly within the limits of the vanilla engine.

And I will repeat again the positions of the temperature story locations are set that they dont spawn in extreme temperature settings like desert story structure will not be as far north spawning. If you change worldgen settings ofc that will affect that.

One of the best things about Vintage Story is how moddable it is. The mod files are open if the immersion break is a dealbreaker for you, you are more than welcome to go into the JSON files and adjust the temperature or spawn conditions to your own liking.

However, I will not be changing the mod or removing these features. I’ve provided enough technical context for you, so I’m going to end the discussion here.

If you want to get rid of the temperature difference you can change the temperature values or remove them in the storystructure.json in the mod. With the 1.22 version of this mod you can even make a patch mod that you can then share with people if you feel like that.

Other than I can gather some user feedback regarding that with our next survey.

Of course no one is forcing you to play with this mod either way.

DarkThoughts, Mar 14th at 6:39 PM

Alright. Sad to see this mod go, but if you don't see how instantly changing climate blobs with african deserts, cacti, hyena and roman bathhouses inside of polar regions is totally going against the point of realistic climate distribution and the spirit & balance of the game and many of its mods, then I'll have to frankly remove the mod at this point.

NiclAss , Mar 14th at 5:28 PM

We have multiple of these set temperature storylocations crossroads, huaca and the forlorn hope tower and dungeon the first 2 setting a warm climate the other ones glaciers and cold climates.

Im not sure what your goal with this discussion is. I already told you that parts of your worries are valid but its by far not as problematic as you want it to be.

And again we are limited to what the game gives us to some extend and we implemented these structure in this way bcs its the correct way to get that output.

I will just let you know that if there would have been a better way to implement them we would have done that but in the current state this is the best way and its working well for what it does. I by far do not see it as such an issue as you do.

DarkThoughts, Mar 14th at 5:14 PM

I indeed do not understand. How is scorching hot desert close to the starting temperature of near freezing tundra?! 50 degrees Celsius temperature difference is about as much as you can get. I'd have to travel tens of thousands of blocks to reach such climate zones, not have a perfectly round blob of African Sahara desert that spawns desert animals, plants & structures in the middle of Nordic regions next to moose.

And the worst part? This isn't even the only structure that does this. This weird pyramid dig site is the same. Here's both of them next to each other, close to spawn:

NiclAss , Mar 14th at 4:31 PM

I think you are miss understanding the point.
I tried to tell you that our climate story structure are intentionally close to starting temperature to avoid bigger temperature changes. (being close to spawn having a lower chance to spawn in northern climate zones having less chance of increasing the temperature diff unecessary)
I appreciate your ideas and suggestions but this is the currently correct way to make them spawn how we like them to. And I dont share your opinion that it heavily clashes with worldgen.

DarkThoughts, Mar 14th at 4:12 PM

5k-6k blocks is nothing as far as climate distribution goes. The default polar to equator distance is 100k blocks. After 5k blocks you're still within the temperate climate regions. And that is of course assuming you walk straight south and not north, west, or east AND that you did not touch the polar to equator distance. If the vanilla game does not support more specific spawn conditions, then I would suggest not using such climate specific story structures to avoid clashing with worldgen this heavily.

NiclAss , Mar 14th at 3:37 PM

Hexwall

With Terra Pretty its a issue on how they change the landforms which doesnt always work out with our story structures and also changes how the terrain works on a scale that changes the spawn chances of structures so you can run both mods I just put a warning up there that some things might spawn not as expected or lets say with vanilla or other landform mods.

Its not a huge issue but enough that I had to put a warning up bcs many people running both mods reported issues for those cases. (Different spawnchances than normal and storystructure terrain clipping mostly)

Hexwall, Mar 14th at 3:28 PM

Actually in what Better ruins version did this issue start? Maybe if I use an older version I can have both?

Hexwall, Mar 14th at 3:23 PM

Well Ill be dammed, such a shame. Really wanted both

NiclAss , Mar 14th at 3:22 PM

Hexwall

Its known on the 1.21 version.
Since Terra Pretty is not yet updated to 1.22 no idea and im expecting the same minor issues.

NiclAss , Mar 14th at 3:21 PM (modified Mar 14th at 4:16 PM)

Like I said everything correct and everything you are suggesting would be better than the current system but that not how it works. The story structure system which is vanilla which we use works like I explained. And it works good enough for those specific structures. We will not be implementing or changing such core vanilla behavoirs for the sake of complexity/perfomance and maintanence of this mod. I also have communicated these improvements of the system with one of the vs devs but until vanilla needs them there will be no changes like that it seems.

Also our storystructures that have climate specifc surroundings are fairly close to spawn while changing the temperate it should not be extreme as of having a desert biome in the north. both warm climate story structures could only spawn up to 5-6k in the northern direction on default settings.

Hexwall, Mar 14th at 3:20 PM

Is the incompatibility between this mod and Terra Pretty only happening in the latest iteration (1.22) or does it also happen in the 1.21.6 version?

DarkThoughts, Mar 14th at 3:09 PM

Distance of spawn is not the same as guaranteeing it spawning in a hot climate. That just guarantees that it does not spawn within a certain distance around spawn - which can not just be cold either. And neither is the distance at which it can be spawn guaranteed to be cold. If the spawn distance is set to 1000+ blocks I could also just travel 1000+ blocks further north towards the north pole and it would be able to spawn this scorching desert inside there. It needs more spawn conditions than just "distance from spawn" to avoid being placed in the wrong climate, because right now it would only make sense to spawn this way if you'd use the Patchwork climate distribution instead of the realistic climate zones. Distance from spawn should only be used to gatekeep you from potentially immediately stumbling onto larger ruins, nothing more.

NiclAss , Mar 14th at 7:12 AM

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pnUqqcTIrlJs9xc7v72paSk07g6ykcvI/view?usp=sharing

While what you are saying is correct that's not how story structures work. They can be defined by a distance of spawn. Not by temperature or latitude. And I have a set temperature which is also why they generate that desert which is needed for the structure itself. This is all intended.

The incompatibility errors with primitive survival I can resolve thanks for the report.

DarkThoughts, Mar 14th at 3:20 AM (modified Mar 14th at 3:31 AM)

I'm sorry but WHY is the Crossroads ruin generating this massive superheated blob around itself?! If it is meant to spawn in hot climate deserts, then it should simply not spawn in cold ones. Having some 40+ degrees Celsius heat blob in the middle of a below 10 degrees Celsius area makes absolutely no sense. The temperatures can change by about 50 degrees there!

Edit: This mod also gives startup errors:

Damn cool I didnt know that.

Roughgalaxy, Mar 13th at 10:28 PM

NiclAss The sun storm is actually by QPtech you can snag that right now (Doom storms). I hope they reach out because they got some damn cool poi's.

NiclAss , Mar 13th at 10:22 PM (modified Mar 13th at 10:23 PM)

Roughgalaxy

I am following the series aswell. Looks very nice in that desert theme.
Depends on how Rubix and their community does stuff they could puplish the structures packed in a mod similar on how betterruins works. And if they need help with it or want me to pack it they can reach out but since this is a custom setting thats up to them :)

Love all if Rubix Vintage Story series. especially their lore building.

I think it would also need their mod for the sun event thing and prob their worldgen changes to make those structures like the skyscrapers to feel good ingame. Wouldnt really fit in a vanilla worldgen I think.? not sure tho.

Roughgalaxy, Mar 13th at 7:39 PM

Please tell me we're getting a bunch of the Torched youtube series poi's... I want to rebuild Elysium!

KahvozeinsFang, Mar 12th at 3:22 PM

I've noticed if I change the polar equator distance to 15 or 25k ruins become extremely rare. My world has plenty of flat area, I'm talking like hundreds of blocks of open fields in every direction, but almost nothing spawns.

When something does spawn it's usually either a vanilla ruin, or a super small one from this mod, and they are not anywhere close to each other. Is there anything that can be done to counteract this behavior?

eggwhites, Mar 11th at 9:11 AM

I would also appreciate a backport to 1.21 for the newest update, I understand if it's not possible tho :)

Mamorka, Mar 11th at 5:51 AM (modified Mar 12th at 5:24 AM)

НиклаАсс

last — 1.22 rc2.

I don't see any problems in this log. But the result is the same (the list of loaded mods shows that only the base mods and BetterRuins are loaded).

UPD: I created a new world in Creative mode – the result is the same. There are no errors in the logs, and only one mod is loaded (besides the basic ones). There are also no recipes in the mod's handbook.

UPD2: I tried completely clearing the appdata folder (the game folder), thinking maybe some old configs were to blame.

I loaded up Creative, which also hasn't seen any other mods yet, and the result was the same.

andersonian_mind, Mar 10th at 9:48 PM

Any chance of a backport to 1.21 for this update? I'd love to explore the new ruins on the server I play on, but they won't be added because it's a 1.21 server

NiclAss , Mar 10th at 8:20 PM

Mamorka

Pls share all the relevant informations to replicate this.
Server-main.log would be one of them aswell as what versions you are on.

Mamorka, Mar 10th at 2:45 PM (modified Mar 10th at 2:51 PM)

For some reason, am I the only one not seeing any blueprint recipes in the handbook?

I even tried disabling all other mods except this one, but the result is the same. It looks like there's a broken link to the crafting items somewhere.

H4RLYN, Mar 9th at 12:43 AM

NiclAss Ta, I don't know what grudge he has against me but I "made the trade"

Dhiox, Mar 9th at 12:07 AM

Estel88

Bcs of reaccouring issues with armorstands and worldgen we tried to get rid of them when possible to avoid this in the future.
You should find chests at the locations of the armor stands with forlorn hope armor loot randomizers which even support mods (like some that add new forlorn hope specific armors)

NiclAss , Mar 8th at 9:41 PM

H4RLYN

It worked for me spawning in the gun with creative mode and talking to the trader

This is the map you need:

Estel88, Mar 8th at 8:57 PM

Hi, thanks for this awersome mod!

I have an issue with one of the story ruins

Spoiler!

Ruin - Forlorn Hope underground Bastion.

No Forlorn Hope armor stand has spawned inside the structure, have they been removed?

H4RLYN, Mar 8th at 8:20 PM

I've got an issue where a Trader is asking for a Gold Scythe for clout purposes but won't recognise that I have said Gold Scythe.
Now I have Toolsmith, but I've used the vanilla recipe (which typically works for Traders) and even a creative-spawned scythe, both of which don't work. Is this a known issue with Toolsmith tools or something else?
The quest locations is a "perfectly spherical crater with dozens of sprawling tunnels opening into that pit". If anyone knows what map that equates too I am more than content with "making the trade" via Creative

NiclAss , Mar 6th at 11:09 PM

Tweedlee

Pls check you server-main.log
It seems you either didnt install the mod or the mod is not loading bcs of another reason.

If you can share the log that works aswell. Prob best on github or discord.

Tweedlee, Mar 6th at 8:32 PM

Hello, so i have been using this mod for a couple of days now and while it works fine i recently moved the world over to a server with all my installed mods, and for somereason now all my schematics that i had and 1 that i found nearby are entirely balck sheets and called betterruins item:br-schematic-pipes or whatever it was for, does this mean the mod has broke? is it just a corruption on what i have? structers that i found seem to still exist at least visually on the map

someone help me understand please

Snakehead41, Mar 3rd at 10:16 PM

Heya! if any of the devs see this, If You want the TOPS SPAWN for a ruin get in contact with T.reads on the VS discord, as the TOPS wipe is happening soon!.

Already have a new story structure implemented by Nybygget and lore by quilladile for the next update.

NiclAss , Feb 24th at 6:48 PM

https://imgur.com/a/5cBSCiq

Yeah I suspect something with that new mod tbh. This is a worldgen bug which is very likely caused by that mod.

I also think most story locations are bugged with that mod so vanilla and betterruins. But I havent tested with that mod just heard it on the discord.
You can check you worldgen log for entries on the time around when that structure got generated.

DarkThoughts, Feb 24th at 5:48 PM

Was there a command to identify nearby structures, because something here went clearly wrong.

The ruin spawned inside a river from Algernon's Watersheds, if at all relevant.

Stalag, Feb 24th at 2:44 AM

NiclAss Just want to say My wife and I totaly love your mod. Will you and your team add more stories and quest to the mod? Thank you for an awesome Mod.

Phant0mCobra, Feb 22nd at 9:10 PM

dergahn I recommend the World of Fortune mod if you want a worldgen. I am currently using it and it is working extremely well with both Rivers mod (not rivergen) and Betterruins. I just reduced the distance from spawn and distance from each other. Of course when I was testing on other worldgen I changed temp values and forgot to reset it for my current world so I ended up with a few badly damaged forlorn hope towers near me. Not complaining though!

dergahn, Feb 22nd at 1:17 PM

I am not 100% sure if I am just dumb or if it is a conflic / problem, but with the rivers mod enabled I am not able to find any ruins....

dergahn, Feb 22nd at 12:50 PM

Phant0mCobra

same for me... it does not spwan at all... but also if I disable all the other stuff as well...

ender_slayer3, Feb 22nd at 2:30 AM

Hey, not sure if it's just a "me" thing, or if it's how me and my friend have configured the mod, but for some reason at the University, the cave that is full of the crystals is completely filled in with stone. In spectator/noclip I can see the stairs, I can see the crystals, I can see where the hall leading to it is supposed to be, but it is filled with stone. So I'm not sure if this is intentional or not. Please advise and thank you for your time.

InternetDragon, Feb 21st at 9:53 PM

ThyUglyDuckling

It's called the university. you need to find a large intact globe and then bring it to one of the traders (pretty sure it's the luxury trader)

ThyUglyDuckling, Feb 21st at 5:22 AM (modified Feb 21st at 5:22 AM)

hi everyone. i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find out what these ruins are called and where i would be able to find them. the ruins im looking for are on the 8th picture in the showcase photos its also the thumbnail or 1:50 into the showwcase video. thanks guys! i wasnt able to paste a photo

NiclAss , Feb 19th at 10:24 PM

There are multiple chiseled riftwards in there and also 1 intact one so you get your reward just explore enough to find it. We always offer enough loot and stuff to find. But Yes a lot of chiseled blocks in there aswell.

FourParsecs

There is 1 story structure forlorn hope tower which is only once per world and is getting marked by the map.
You can find more of them and they are even in different damage stages if you adventure into the far north colder climates. They can spawn there.

FourParsecs, Feb 19th at 4:17 AM

Hello, love the mod! I am having an issue where I cannot get another seperate Forlorn Hope Tower map from any luxury traders. I have gone to 4 of them, all 5,000 blocks or further from each other and they all sell me a map that says, "Location already marked on your map". I thought I read somewhere that we could receive more than 1 to explore, but maybe I am mistaken. thanks for the help in advance!

Rodda, Feb 18th at 3:38 AM

Love this mod so much but Since the last update I've been getting an issue where some ruins will generate with "Aged crate (closed)" will spawning as a white question mark blocks and crates are unable to be opened and both will not drop any loot when broken. Not sure why this is happening since the last update.

Thanks for making a fantastic mod though.

SeatStealer, Feb 15th at 2:54 AM

Hello! This mod is absolutely incredible and one of my genuine favorites. I love how much love and care has clearly gone into every ruin, and I think it is really nice that not all ruins are crazy and spectacular, some are pretty mundane and just make the world feel alive.

I do have a question/suggestion, the paver's blueprint is absolutely incredible and has been a godsend for helping me create roads, I am wondering if you have ever considered making a similar blueprint to increase the yield for crafting cobblestone? I have some large scale projects and would love to have a new thing to find to help me out!

Thanks for making an amazing mod!

NatPro38, Feb 14th at 4:39 PM (modified Feb 14th at 5:16 PM)

I'm getting a strange issue on some ruins where there are partially invisible blocks. See Image:

Spoiler!

While I was looking for issues in the logs i found that it appears some ruin and betterTraders schematics are still using "game:bowl-fired" instead of "game:bowl-blue-fired" & Schematic t2-4.json is using "game:skep-empty-east"
Some Vanilla Schematics also still have "game:bowl-fired" but i'm not sure where to report it as I don't have github.
EDIT:
Should note I am using BetterRuins 0.5.7 on VS 1.21.6

Phant0mCobra, Feb 10th at 1:32 AM

Conquest Landform Overhaul is definitely not working with BetterRuins. I cranked up the spawn chance almost to the max and not a single structure spawned. Getting the small cobblestone ruins but that is it

NiclAss , Feb 9th at 1:37 PM

MrHappygoboom

Yes you are right that might be something that they have changed I recommend to not use blueprints if you are already on 1.22

Thanks for the confirm I will update that for our 1.22 version of this mod.

MrHappygoboom, Feb 8th at 11:24 PM

I know you're getting ready for 1.22 but We've run into an issue of the lumberwright blueprint being consumed while building beams, we shouldn't have anything else that conflicts with it...

paxen, Feb 8th at 2:19 PM (modified Feb 8th at 2:19 PM)

DiPig7970 TP and Conquest Landform Overhaul are different takes at the same type of landgen changes, making them redundant and as far as I know they are not meant to be run at the same time. IME either mod will block BetterRuins above-ground spawn locations at present. I had success using ONLY World of Fortune for landgen. Good luck!

DiPig7970, Feb 8th at 1:30 AM

paxen Maybe I'll have a chance to try starting a new save and experiment with the mod you mentioned! Also, I want to ask, when you play, besides the World of Fortune mod, do you have any other mods installed that affect world generation? For myself, aside from TP, I also have Conquest Landform Overhaul installed.

paxen, Feb 6th at 6:26 PM (modified Feb 6th at 6:27 PM)

DiPig7970 That's cool that the megastructures that spawn with maps works for you! I didn't actually test that. What I was testing were medium, large and megastructures that spawn above ground with the general structure spawn and village spawn rates. I cranked it to 100, which should have them showing up all over the place, literally carpeting any relatively flat area. In my tests with most landgen mods, the terrain is so dramatically altered that very few if any acceptable locations exist for these ruins to spawn. If you haven't seen this mod run in vanilla, you might not be familiar with just the incredible variety, especially of large and mega ruins that can populate the surface; TP and similar seem to almost universally block these. Again, World of Fortune didn't, so that's what I play with now. Good luck!

NiclAss , Feb 5th at 6:27 PM

Currently no. We might add something like that in the future prob to support individual builders. Still need to set that up and all.

NiclAss , Feb 5th at 6:24 PM

DiPig7970

If you grab those 2 maps from the creative menu they will not work we are using a vanilla mechanic that lets the trader from which you buy those select a nearby structure of that type.

The oil wells are from another mod.

DiPig7970, Feb 5th at 2:42 PM

paxen I recently started a new save for testing. I used all the BR-related maps, only Hidden Tomb and Hidden Passage couldn't locate their positions, while the others showed locations normally. Then I flew around randomly in fly mode, and it really felt like there were fewer types of ruins. Along the way, I only came across one abandoned oil well.I'm not sure if this is normal or if there's a problem.

paxen, Feb 5th at 1:45 PM

NiclAss Thanks for the reply! Yeah it really doesn't work with TerraPrety recommended settings (or Praries and Valleys, Conquest Landform Overhaul, etc). I've cranked spawn rate to 100, and still no large ruins anywhere above ground. Amazing mod though, and fortunately I found it works with World of Fortune.

DiPig7970 TerraPrety is the problem for me. World of Fortune is the only landgen mod I've found that works with BetterRuins, and I've tested a bunch.

DiPig7970, Feb 4th at 2:16 PM

I played for a while and noticed that I didn't see any ruins like the ones in the video, most of them were small ruins like the original. Personally, I use multiple terrain mods such as TerraPrety and follow the recommended settings of TP to generate worlds. I wonder if it's because of this reason that I haven't seen any traces of this mod?

VanduJunior, Feb 4th at 6:47 AM

I standby that this is probably both the least intrusive and best mod that should straight up just be vanilla. Everything inside this mod could (and HONESTLY SHOULD) be in vanilla. It is a MUST-HAVE for any world.

wizardlyfroggy, Feb 2nd at 2:16 AM

NiclAss The problem was that they WERE spawning. I was expecting them not to spawn. I believe it was an issue with Rivers

Andris, Feb 1st at 6:14 PM (modified Feb 1st at 6:18 PM)

NiclAss BoogerNugget I have the same issue with golden scythe. I am no own MP with following mods. If i go into creative then cannot find Map to The Temporal Calix Project. Other maps visible and other ruins have found.

Do you have a place to leave a tip/donation online? We've just played thru "The Coal Mine" and "Temporal Calix Project" and are absoluely blown away. This is incredible work, and has made our gameplay experience so much better.

Thanks this will be fixed with the next update for now it can be ignored it will not result in any issues besides the Error in the main log thanks for letting me know about it.

Mungey, Jan 31st at 10:31 AM

Sorry to doublepost but I did some testing and found a fix to my issue. Deleting the mod's cache and reinstalling worked. IDK why but a whole bunch of schematics were missing from my cache.

Mungey, Jan 31st at 9:55 AM

Having some trouble with this mod on a world genned with PlainsandValleys, FieldsandPlateaus, & the rivers mod (not rivergen). Multiple structures arent spawning and when I load into the world I get several errors about missing structure schematics (notably forlorn hope tower). The only other notable worldgen changing mod which isn't listed on the modpage as compatable is Terrain Slabs. If y'all have an idea what could be causing this any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

GLaDOS_cz, Jan 30th at 12:46 PM

There seems to be compability issue with meteoric steel mod: "(Server Warning) Failed resolving crafting recipe ingredient with code game:metalblock-new-plain-meteoricsteel in Grid recipe

(Server Error) Grid Recipe "betterruins:recipes/grid/schematic-mechanical/mechanical.json": Output Block code game:metalblock-new-plain-meteoricsteel cannot be resolved

NiclAss , Jan 29th at 9:21 PM

Zarkonnen

Would love to add something like that and I have suggested to the vs devs that a system for spawners to allow them to be easier moddable would make a lot of sense. This will come with one of the upcoming vanilla updates so from there it will be easier configurable and overall more interesting to also spawn modded entities or change stuff via config or external mods. Please be patient until we get access to that feature to implement it. Until then lock in and dodge, run or kill mobs rather than die from them :P

Homosapiens mode removes all structure generation so this behaviour is expected.

Thanks a lot! Glad you like what we do.

NiclAss , Jan 29th at 9:14 PM

Tbh, not a lot more you can do. Terra Pretty changes landforms quite a bit, resulting in quite different structures spawning, so overall I would just recommend slightly increasing spawn chances and reducing mindistances between them. But I have done a lot of testing with Terra Prety at this point bcs we also have had some issues with how their terrain affects our story locations thats also why we marked terra prety as kinda incompatible with betterruins at the moment.

paxen, Jan 27th at 8:06 PM

I love this mod! Absolutely my favorite worldgen addition and I've had many hours of fun delving and restoring ruins. I recently tweaked the config file to generate megastructures fairly regularly which was something I was looking forward to in my upcoming playthrough. But when I installed Terra Prety, the same BR settings won't generate any large or mega ruins. I get only very small ones, even if I crank the spawn chance up to 100 for both structures and villages. I've tried everything but BR just doesn't seem to find suitable generation sites for the larger ruins. Is this a known issue with Terra Prety? I've used the default TP settings, I've tried lowering the slopes, etc. Even valleys and other flat areas are devoid of structures. I'd love to get the improved terrain of TP but the awesome ruins of BR. Any help is appreciated!

Bastien, Jan 27th at 2:44 PM

This is outstanding work, y'all. Seriously well done, the sunrift experiment experience was absolutely incredible.

Thank you so much for all this hard work, your passion, talent, and skill really show!

wizardlyfroggy, Jan 26th at 4:16 PM

Im having trouble with ruins and traders spawning in Homo Sapiens settings. Is this a known bug?

Pupek, Jan 26th at 1:15 AM

Is there some kind of debug/commands that would let me to spawn location where i am for testing?

Zarkonnen, Jan 23rd at 11:09 AM

So I loved this mod until a surface ruin spawned a bell head shiver that one-shotted me in a wilderness survival playthrough. Would it be possible to config/fork this to have an enemy strength progression more in line with what's needed for wilderness survival?

Ravnius, Jan 22nd at 5:40 AM

I don't normally leave comments on mods, but after my friends and I fought our way through the Forlorn Bastion for hours tonight, I have to say that this is an incredible project. Thanks to the whole team for the amazing adventure.

Undea, Jan 21st at 9:00 PM (modified Jan 21st at 9:00 PM)

yes it did.

i see some villiger buildings which are only 1/3 on outside the menson and one roof inside xD

i will post on vs village too

NiclAss , Jan 21st at 8:45 PM

Undea

Im guessing a vsvillage has spawned inside of our story location mansion? Not a lot we can do besides letting the author of vsvillage know about it so maybe they can prevent that in the future?
Images always help if you have any. Ty

Undea, Jan 21st at 8:29 PM (modified Jan 21st at 8:49 PM)

ok i was right sort of.

the npcs where villigers from vs village

i dont know what they where doing there.

is the menson even from your mod?

edit: ok it looks like vs village overrites the luctus spawner.

Undea, Jan 21st at 5:23 PM

hi there, i get massive laggs in the menson and it looks like the npcs in it are the cause of it.

i could fly in backwards and as soon as they popped up it did get worse, then they become invisible, it did get better again.

But still very bad.

NapTheLean, Jan 21st at 12:21 AM

Rambo_Turkey There are ruined farms, but they aren't sprawling ruins. You will find VERY useful material in the barns if you like farming though.

NiclAss , Jan 20th at 10:26 PM

Clamhoy

If we mean the same structure. This is not in the mod anymore and was the reworked to the dome shopping centre. It was in a way earlier version of the mod yes.

Clamhoy, Jan 20th at 9:45 PM

Is this the same ruin mod that adds the shopping center? Not the dome one, the other mansion like one. with all of the different shops

NiclAss , Jan 20th at 9:32 PM

Fromqebec

Cheadle

Easy way is checking the handbook for our blueprints. Otherwise check you server-main.log if the mods is getting loaded and you are not running any errors.

But generally this is never an issue people either just dont know which are vanilla or betterruins. 99,9% the mod is running correctly.

NiclAss , Jan 20th at 9:28 PM

BoogerNugget

This can happen with mods that change stuff regarding to tools to not allow the trader to accept your item.
If you can share me your modlist in a zip file I can try to replicate it.

For the mechanic to work you just need the item in your inventory and it has to be undamaged. Then enter the trader dialogue and it will give you a new option which then will grab the item from you inventory and give you the map.

NiclAss , Jan 20th at 9:24 PM

Feycat

Works on my machine pls provide a way to replicate it. Easiest way is a server-main.log and a zipped modlist. Or a video.

NiclAss , Jan 20th at 9:18 PM

Thanks I uploaded to our crowdin project they will get applied with the next update.

NiclAss , Jan 20th at 9:15 PM

Thap

The spawning should have enough randomization atm so not a lot more we can do. If you have some images of structures that accour more often for you please share them. Otherwise I would just say its you luck atm.

NiclAss , Jan 20th at 9:14 PM

SunriderKSY

There is an infinite amount of blueprints in your world bcs most of them share a more global loot randomizer and can basically be found random in any ruin. Some have additional dedicated loot spots. Some info can be found on our wiki.

NiclAss , Jan 20th at 9:12 PM

Latrios

Yeah for most multiplayer server is makes sense to not base inside the story structure but overall most of them are in that category bcs of size limitation in the worldgen system so yeah.

Its possible to move and duplicate a story location so lets say if someone settles in one you can set a new location for this story location so other people will then go to that new location as this will be marked on their map and not the player claimed one. This is something you will have to ask you server admin or make a ticket on their server to req something like that.

Cheadle, Jan 20th at 7:06 PM

having same issue cant see any structures

Fromqebec, Jan 19th at 3:14 AM (modified Jan 19th at 4:30 AM)

How do I know this mod is working ?
It's enable in mod manager, but how do I know ingame without just exploring ?

I've been exploring in 2 differents world in creative and for now nothing.
It's just gettin annoying ...

The only mod I have is Rivers right now.

UPDATE : I removed Rivers, don't seem to change anything

BoogerNugget, Jan 19th at 1:06 AM

How do you hand quests into traders? This agricultural trader asked for a scythe made of gold so i forged one, and forged one with a mold. I went to hand them in and neither gave me the option to hand them in. Just the same dialogue of asking about anything interesting, him mentioning the treasure hunter and the crater with sprawling tunnels, requesting the scythe then rinse and repeat. I've dropping them on the ground, going through the dialogue with each in my hand and nothing. I'd love to be able to fix this and if anyone could help that would be great. Mod list is posted in the comments of this post BetterRuins Cannot hand in quest item : r/VintageStory

Feycat, Jan 17th at 8:41 PM

I've followed the command instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

/wgen structures list - 106 is 18jumblestonecastle in the structures list

I am in creative, target a block and type /wgen structure spawn 106

The game freezes for a BRIEF moment and then nothing has happened. No structure appears.

This is not a creative world.

What am I doing wrong?

koitsu, Jan 17th at 8:34 PM

hiller Nobody answered your question from almost a year ago. This was driving me insane too, but I figured it out. You need to move the map item itself into your hot bar (at the bottom of the screen), then right-click it whilst it's there. After that, your General chat window will say "Approximate location of {map name} added to your world map". The map icon used is a red X, and defaults to being pinned. Just zoom out a bit on the map screen and look at the borders of the map window.

ChimMAG, Jan 17th at 7:34 PM

Updated the Russian translation.

Vakothu, Jan 16th at 8:47 PM

SunriderKSY Yes, there are multiple copies. The mod doesn't track which blueprints have been 'found' by someone at all, they're just placed like all the other random loot. In fact even you can find multiple copies of a single blueprint if you get lucky (or unlucky, depending on your view).

Thap, Jan 16th at 8:45 PM

Would it be possible to somehow randomize the ruins? It gets somewhat weird to keep running into structures with the exact same layout...

SunriderKSY, Jan 16th at 7:26 PM

Are there multiples of each blueprint that spawn in a given seed/world, or just one copy of each? I'm on an SMP and was wondering when find a blueprint, would anyone else find another copy somewhere else in the world.

Latrios, Jan 14th at 3:41 PM

I adore these ever so much.

A bit of me wishes there were non-story versions of the story dungeons that could potentially generate, so one could base inside them without worry of something nasty like a deepsplit or bellhead showing up... or more bells.

Would that be at all possible? Apologies if it was asked recently, I looked and didn't spot anything, but perhaps I didn't look hard enough.

I ask only because a server I'm on occasionally resets these ruins so other players can have a go at them, and it wouldn't do to let one player like myself hog all that space... not that I'd really want to with the nasties that can appear in there.

Parkatine, Jan 14th at 1:32 PM

Hey, I hada questions about a book I found within a ruin the other day if anyone knows anything about it? The ruin was the 'Sunrigt Experiment', spoliers below

Spoiler!

So I found a book in there called 'Monster Compendium' which I could 'consume' like with the skill books from the xSkills mod. I didn't get any popup or anything when doing this and as far as I could tell nothing about my character has changed. Is there something I am missing about it?

ChimMAG, Jan 12th at 6:08 AM

Yes, of course.
“metalblock-corroded-sheet-temporalit” is from mod "(Not Only)Spear-Expantion".

Tarred from the “TarMod” mod, but I couldn't find the “woodenpath-tarred-ns” key there.

Soapstone and vermiculite from the “Deepvein: Asbestos” mod, but I couldn't find the “cobbleskull-soapstone” key there.

Nephelangelo, Jan 12th at 12:25 AM (modified Jan 12th at 3:03 AM)

NiclAss

"Recently" is a funny word to use since Terra Prety's landform and story structure systems haven't changed in like half a year. As far as I can tell it's not broken, we've gotten no reports of story structures being messed up, all my testing around story structures looked clean over the last several releases, seems to run perfectly well for other players using Better Ruins according to the feedback we've been getting on Discord, and the seeds and story structures should be generating identically to the last six months. Have you actually investigated this and tried to reproduce the problem or are you just assuming Terra Prety is the problem? Have you checked what other mods players are running? Are they using Terra Prety's recommended worldgen settings or are they altering them configs dramatically?

NiclAss , Jan 11th at 6:49 PM

Please provide your modlist these are all materials added by other mods I can create patches to resolve these errors which are basically just warnings but its hard to find them I found one is from spearexpantion but pls just provide a mod list or maybe from using those mods you know which ones are adding these materials that are clashing.

NiclAss , Jan 11th at 6:33 PM

WARNING: TerraPrety is recently causing issues with their landform terrain at storystructures so I would not recommend using it with this mod anymore until they get it fixed.

I'm having problems with my server finding the configs for certain structures (shopping centre, coal mines, mansions, etc.) when launching. I have the Gui and config library installed with all the latest versions (config 1.10.12, vsimgui 1.1.16, and betterruins 0.5.5) does anyone know why it's doing this.

ChimMAG, Jan 4th at 7:09 PM

Okay, I'm still putting the compilation together. Initial testing showed that not all of the merchants' phrases have been translated. A search for the phrase returned two mods where it appears. I'll write down all the untranslated phrases (so far I've only found one ‘culprit’) and write about it later.

NiclAss , Jan 4th at 11:33 AM

With 100% vanilla and 100% betterruins translated to german. It works for me.

I will let you know via discord aswell if you have ways to replicate it I would love to take a look at it. We can chat via dc if you want bcs its a bit easier for both of us I think :)
Thanks for translating btw really appreciate it and the community aswell.

NiclAss , Jan 4th at 11:08 AM

These are vanilla lang entries so they have to be translated in the vanilla language files.

So you will not find them in our files.

If you can send me the translated files if lets say you 100% vanilla and this mod and its still not working I can test with that but for me it still looks like everything works as intended.

I will try to translate german for myself and test with that.

ChimMAG, Jan 4th at 8:21 AM (modified Jan 4th at 8:26 AM)

NiclAss I have completely translated the en.json file, all 757 lines, but some of the dialogues are still not in it. Take a look at the agriculture.json and luxuries.json files yourself.
There are lines:
code: "always",
owner: "trader",
type: "talk",
text: [
{ value: "game:(He nods soberly) As always." }
],
jumpTo: "main"
However, there is no key "game:(He nods soberly) As always." in en.json.

SherylSwann, Jan 4th at 4:10 AM

The shopping center made me wanna cry how you going to throw me a platinum ingot when I can't use it lol Also had a trader stuck between the walls he can't decide if he wants in or out

NiclAss , Jan 3rd at 8:13 PM

They are translateable in the game files last entries in en.json.

you can use the crowdin project to translate

ChimMAG, Jan 3rd at 8:08 PM

The text of the traders' dialogues is not located in the language files, but in the mod code files. For example, in the (agriculture.json, luxuries.json) file.
Can you transfer this to a language file so that it can be translated?

ChiefKrogan, Jan 1st at 10:56 PM

fatbuds001 your issue is literally adressed in the mod description. Have you checked? Every time a new version comes out that adds new massive structures you need to re-generate the chunks with existing massive structures connecting to it. And I also use better traders and got the quest just fine.

Promercules there are mods that stop any monster spawn altogether and they override better ruins, like no lore creatures. Maybe try that?

fatbuds001, Jan 1st at 10:20 PM

Hi, love the mod, have only 2 things to ask:
Was the shopping center (or perhaps glass dome megastructure, found conflicting names for it) recently added in the latest patch? As I did not find the map in the crossroads.
Secondly I'm not able to see the golden scythe dialogue from the agricultural trader or the iron pick from the luxury trader, is that due to better traders? Or were these also added recently?
The server me and my friends play on was updated just a month ago, while the mod is awesome (and thus you devs are too by proxy), I doubt you're pushing out more updates than vanilla devs (though if you are I'll tip my hat and congratulate you), so I don't think it should be that. Mod wise we have better ruins, better traders, butchering, millwright, a chisel mod (don't remember which one to be exact but it should be the one that allows you to copy and paste) and a mod to pick rock blocks while using the chisel and hammer; I don't think these should be conflicting in any way, the only one that I would think could mess with the mod is better traders, which you guys made in the first place so I'm not sure honestly what is the issue :(.

NiclAss , Jan 1st at 5:51 PM

Promercules

Sadly not possible otherwise I would have already added it.
I wrote with one of the vs devs and when they will add dungeons they will add moddable spawners which will easily allow to define what entities can be spawned and also allow to turn them of when providing no list of entities.

Thats something I have suggested for some time and if we lucky we will get it for the next main update. Fingers crossed.

NiclAss , Jan 1st at 5:48 PM

Hercutheus, Jan 1st at 5:39 PM

Could we possibly please get a patch made for this mod which gives the ruins but without the possibility of freakazoid monsters? Encountering nightmare shivers on the surface on day 1 is just a little too crazy lol, honestly I'd love to have one without the other, have the ruins without the crazy monsters they sometimes come with. I play permadeath so it just makes them into death traps and it makes it so I cannot use the mod even though I love the ruins themselves

ChiefKrogan, Jan 1st at 5:24 PM

"Solus sum, sed vivo.

All the guaranteed spawns so the hand placed ones can be found on our wiki.

What determines the spawning of blueprints? When I played before, I had 3-4 identical recipes, but now I'm playing again and I only have one, and I've already looked through a lot of ruins.

You can configure the mod when you install configlib and imgui they are linked from this page.
You can then change the distnace from spawn where they will spawn.
Still need to get lucky to spawn something base worthy near spawn.

WarDog723, Dec 25th 2025 at 3:01 AM

NiclAss Cool, anyway to make it so they spawn close to you? Also, would you recommend looking for them or just building your base first and explore them later on?

Omg what a cool update! I'm actually really glad we haven't explored hardly anything in our world yet.

I'm not too familiar with doing Regen stuff, but would a /db prune clear stuff up for the update just in case? I used that before when I had some ? Blocks in a ruin and it changed the whole thing.

PureWinter, Dec 22nd 2025 at 6:14 AM

pimblokto Are you using strata/geology type mods? I had this issue with better ruins in the past and it turns out the 'foreign' rock types don't always play nice. Might be that?

pimblokto, Dec 22nd 2025 at 3:07 AM

shopping center still generating with a ton of ? blocks on the west side, even after new update

TheNaikan, Dec 21st 2025 at 11:27 PM

SherylSwann I found a map there but it's to the Coal Mine :(

LiothTheBrave, Dec 21st 2025 at 10:34 PM

Ngl I'd love a sister mod that generates a few of these structures intact and ready to be moved into.

SherylSwann, Dec 21st 2025 at 7:58 PM

TheNaikan Mansion map is in the crossroads structure in a crate near a corpse per better ruins wiki my bad

TheNaikan, Dec 21st 2025 at 3:39 PM

SherylSwann I have exhausted all of the Lux trader's maps and there is no Mansion map to be had from them unfortunately. The only ones offered are the Crossroads and Forlorn Hope Tower. Does anyone know the command to spawn this map?

SherylSwann, Dec 21st 2025 at 8:56 AM

TheNaikan I believe the map comes from the lux merchant I'm stuck with him atm keeps trying to give me maps I already explored maybe I missed something I was suppose to find

SherylSwann, Dec 20th 2025 at 11:15 PM

I find so much stuff any chance of getting lucky enough to find a couple steel ingots hiding anywhere seems like such a waste of materials to have to start with lvl 2 refractory bricks to get lvl 3

TheNaikan, Dec 20th 2025 at 1:58 PM

Can anyone tell me where to find the map to the Mansion?

Cecis, Dec 20th 2025 at 9:20 AM

Thank you for letting me know! il Disable the library as well and wait!

NiclAss , Dec 19th 2025 at 8:14 PM

CrowOfTheWest

Ye thats ours well nice it works :)

CrowOfTheWest, Dec 19th 2025 at 8:14 PM

i can't edit my comments for some reason so i'll write a 3rd one. They've actually started to spawn now, got like 4 in one place :DDD

CrowOfTheWest, Dec 19th 2025 at 8:08 PM

Actually, i think the mod work but the tructures spawn rarely like this one

CrowOfTheWest, Dec 19th 2025 at 7:07 PM

the blueprints are there in the crative menu and handbook so the mod is loaded, i also downloaded the mod that increases it's spawn to 300% so not sure what could the the problem

NiclAss , Dec 19th 2025 at 6:49 PM

MiraLeaps

Yeah thanks for the heads up we will be reducing the chance for something like that to happen for 2 structure with the next update but its just random hickups in the worldgen sadly since we are using all vanilla worldgen we rely on tracking it down and reporting it to the devs.
The shopping center and the library will have changes to prevent it happening to them specifically.
Cecis

NiclAss , Dec 19th 2025 at 6:47 PM

Butler741

Worldheight can change the spawn rates of structure but overall its more like the flatness of the world which will the more flatter the world the more ruins can spawn so yeah it does affect it but not massivly you can change the spawn rates for that if you notice anything excessive.

NiclAss , Dec 19th 2025 at 6:46 PM

Sir_Aroun

I would say overall yes but in detail no. Its up to you to judge.
We have a wiki which should give you a scope of what the bigger structures feel like
https://github.com/NicIAss/betterruins/wiki

NiclAss , Dec 19th 2025 at 6:44 PM

_WillowWisp_

I think we resolved that over discord but for others the issue is that chiseled blocks which are showing destroyed or ruined parts like broken rock or destroyed furniture will not drop itself as a chiseled block and are called disabled chiseled block which can not be interacted with like a normal chiseled block and can not be edited or fixed.

NiclAss , Dec 19th 2025 at 6:43 PM

Thanks for the feedback !
The Panopticon is getting an update with the next versions so might be time to revisit (after regenerating the chunks of the structure to get the new changes)

NiclAss , Dec 19th 2025 at 6:41 PM

CrowOfTheWest

Check your server-main.log if the mod is loaded you should find them every now and then.
You can also check if our blueprints show up in the handbook then you know the mod is loaded.

NiclAss , Dec 19th 2025 at 6:40 PM

SherylSwann

The Villages are ruined not with people in them. We might go into that direction in the future but only as once per world locations.
Here a link to our wiki showing all the ruined villages: https://github.com/NicIAss/betterruins/wiki/villages

The 7 story locations are outdated bcs we now got 10 with more coming more here but massive spoilers: https://github.com/NicIAss/betterruins/wiki/story-structures

NiclAss , Dec 19th 2025 at 6:34 PM

Yes, this is a known issue in vanilla in the recent versions. It’s a very rare occurrence, though, but indeed very annoying. I have just tested on vanilla version 1.21.6 and it seems to not happen anymore. Maybe when you update you can test that again, thanks!
https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/6392

TheNaikan, Dec 19th 2025 at 6:29 PM

I figure dit out. I spawned in a new Lux trader and got the map this time. Not sure why my existing trader was not cooperating.

TheNaikan, Dec 19th 2025 at 6:10 PM

I upgraded my BetterRuins from 5.0 to 5.4 to get the Sunrift quest, went to the Lux trader and got the dialog, but he won't take the iron pick nor give me a map, even though the dialog says I got the map. Am on VS 1.21.4. ANy way to spawn the map in?

NiclAss , Dec 18th 2025 at 8:25 PM

greatorder

Im aware of the compatibility warning and this will be resolved with our next update for now it can be ignored and will not result in any issues. Thanks for the heads up tho tyty.

greatorder, Dec 18th 2025 at 8:21 PM

I've added the pewter mod and the game's thrown an error. Not crash-worthy but it's a bit upset with the riveted pewter block for some reason.

SherylSwann, Dec 16th 2025 at 9:08 PM

The description says villages were added ruined? Or am im looking for villages with villagers? Also the 7 story locations I've been to 5 places so far that aren't main story events and just got a new map can someone list the seven locations

CrowOfTheWest, Dec 16th 2025 at 5:11 PM

am i unlucky or new ruins don't spawn like... at all? Created a bunch of new worlds and still couldn't find any :(

Maethius, Dec 15th 2025 at 8:48 PM

Really love all the detail and love put into these locations! Just finished the Panopticon... marvelous work! And I think I understand WHY this location was created...

Spoiler!

Admit it! The Panopticon was made to help us light up an entire base! 20+ torch holders and 21 candles?! Time to brighten up my castle!

_WillowWisp_, Dec 14th 2025 at 7:29 PM

im having i issuse were i cant copy or chisel the blocks in ruins. not sure why it doesent work in survival or creative i have a chisel and a hammer it just doesent select
Mods i have
Better ruins. Schematica (blocks just appear as white question marks)
conquest landform overhual and rivergen. QP chisel mod.
every time i go to try and chisel fix or copy a block it just does nothing

Sir_Aroun, Dec 10th 2025 at 6:39 PM

Are all the new lore and buildings is in line with vanilla VS lore? Making a vanilla+ modlist

SherylSwann, Dec 10th 2025 at 8:49 AM

No villages for me yet and whats the purpose of abandoned trader camps?

Maethius, Dec 8th 2025 at 5:53 PM

Wow... I really wanted to craft some anti-rift equipment out of viridilite! That was until I started to read the diaries... probably best to let that stuff alone. ;-)

Great addition to the world! I would love to make a base out of the new location, but the instability is simply impossibly high!

Butler741, Dec 7th 2025 at 6:42 PM

Hey,
Very noob question, but I have a world on a server going, and I am a lil affraid because I set the height slider pretty high when I made the world. Does this interfere with the generation of the ruins from this mod?

MiraLeaps, Dec 7th 2025 at 2:18 AM

Hey, just wanted to +1 the report about the ? Blocks littering a few ruin spots.they cause a crash if you mine them.

Going to try the regen

NiclAss , Dec 5th 2025 at 10:42 PM

Cecis

You can share an image here or on github or discord.
You can try to regen the area and see if that fixes it...

Cecis, Dec 5th 2025 at 12:56 AM

Hello! I have a problem with the SHOPPING CENTER behin full of "?" blocks where should i report?

Secondary, Dec 2nd 2025 at 9:10 PM

BetterRuins is pretty much a must have in my Vintage Story worlds now.

There are so many different ruins, villages and weird places to stumble into that exploring never really gets boring and I keep thinking “ok just one more hill then I log off” and then I dont.

So yeah big htumbs up from me for this mod.

This looks amazing:

DEDomain, Dec 2nd 2025 at 3:29 PM

This is one of the biggest and most fascinating mods I've seen on this site. The level of creativity and building skill displayed in everything from the smallest ruin to the largest megastructure is genuinely incredible, so hats off to you guys- excellent work!

However, it is a little disheartening to see the usage of AI generated dialogue and text, particularly with the luxuries trader. I hope at some point that will be changed. Heck, even I'd be willing to write up some quick paragraphs to just be slotted in. But other than that, you guys are doing good work :)

NiclAss , Dec 1st 2025 at 9:40 PM

GwynDelight

Thanks a lot glad you like our mod.
and thanks for playing with it :)

GwynDelight, Dec 1st 2025 at 7:57 PM

I love your mod and all of the different ruins it adds to the game.

Thank you!

NiclAss , Dec 1st 2025 at 6:40 PM

OnyxDragon

Mhh yeah I was able to replicate this with the creative light blocks which this block is.
I will have to report that to the vanilla devs to fix it. I dont know of any commands that fix this sorry.

NiclAss , Dec 1st 2025 at 6:39 PM

xXNuclearKidXx

We recommend default settings we dont have mod specific settings at this point. Maybe ask other people that use that combo on discord.

OnyxDragon, Nov 28th 2025 at 8:14 PM

Found a coal pit, and got my hands on a block I don't think I should have (Temporal Light Block). It seems to put a permanent light effect into the world even after breaking the block. Is there any way to remove it, through commands or anything? Half my base glows green thanks to my testing lol.

xXNuclearKidXx, Nov 28th 2025 at 2:15 AM

I just installed this mod for my first ever playthrough of the game today. Alongside this mod I have Falling Tree, Plains and Valleys, Terra Prety. My focus as of now it to have a game that feels lived in with natural looking scenic terrain without any clashing but it's been difficult. The Better Ruins mod so far has been difficult to adjust the settings to get just right, can anyone prodive any screenshots of there settings? I want a decent amount of mega structures and villages with less misc generations like smaller ruins.

Marquitos, Nov 27th 2025 at 11:58 PM

NiclAss Thank you very much for the immediate response, your reply cleared up my doubts and now I can install it with confidence. The mod is really interesting and I’m sure it will change my pace of gameplay. I really appreciate the work you’ve done!

NiclAss , Nov 27th 2025 at 9:58 PM

Marquitos

Adds new structure random ones around you world but also dedicated once per world structures like the RA.
It doesnt change anything in the vanilla lore.
We have our own lore.
Talk to the treasure hunter for vanilla lore.
Talk to the lux trader for this mods lore.
This mod also adds blueprints which you can find around the map which allow you to craft some cool stuff.

You can install the mod on existing worlds but keep in mind that the structure of this mod can only generate in chunks that have been generated with the mod active.
Story locations of this mod might be blocked from spawning if you already generated chunks where they normally would spawn.
The game will give you a popup on how to resolve this issue.
This is a vanilla feature btw.

Let me know if this answered your question

NiclAss , Nov 27th 2025 at 9:53 PM

Permarin1

Village buildings can not be spawned with the vanilla commands sadly so its only possible to spawn in with the schematic file itself and worldedit.

NiclAss , Nov 27th 2025 at 9:52 PM

FroggyJunior

Thanks a lot for the feedback this structure is 99% siraynes work and I agree its amazing!

Marquitos, Nov 27th 2025 at 9:47 PM

Hello, I would like to know roughly what this mod is about, since I read somewhere that it changes something in the story or adds more lore. I couldn’t fully understand it. I already have a world in progress and I would like to be able to use this mod in it for the new chunks that haven’t been generated yet. I assume that when I travel to those areas, the map will generate with the new ruins, but I have some doubts about installing it. I appreciate any response in advance!

KenshiKitty, Nov 27th 2025 at 4:24 AM (modified Nov 27th 2025 at 6:18 AM)

A rock I found in the new dungeon told me to say hi to the cat Pluto, so hi Pluto!

Also just realized the guy in the trailer, you find the same helmet he had but broken in the dungeon, 07

Permarin1, Nov 26th 2025 at 2:59 AM

i am seed searching for a new world. and i came across a structure i really like, found out on the wiki it was the ogdreds village. a real nice castle type structure. but i didnt like the location it generated in, so i tried looking for it on the spawning list, but i just cant find it anywhere. came across a reddit post about it being called "Mods\betterruins\assets\game\worldgen\schematics\overground\main\village-ogdred\main\main2-o9.json" even though i go through the ingame spawn list, i cant find anything called o9 but i see many structures from br surface from o1-o11 but o9 is just missing.

FroggyJunior, Nov 24th 2025 at 5:27 AM

The Sunrift Experiment ruin is peak! The team did a great job making it feel so vast.

NiclAss , Nov 22nd 2025 at 8:07 PM

Nosh

Betterruins can be used alongside rivergen but just not update bcs its very likely to generate chunk borders.
Just stick with 1 betterruins version when you got rivergen

Nosh, Nov 19th 2025 at 2:39 PM

Which is the last version that was compatible with the RiverGen mod?

MikeisaGoob, Nov 17th 2025 at 2:06 AM

Just found a prison complex that had a blackguard sword and shield lol

Heya, NiclAss!

Odd question...as always, I'm LOVING this mod and it's a must-have for any of my adventures. I have recently come across a lovely ruined sandstone cathedral of sorts and am in the process of renovating it as a second base, but for some reason any time I leave and return, I'm beset upon by locusts that spawn in the foyer and upper levels leading to the tower. I've searched inside and out and I cannot find the nests that are spawning them so that I can rid myself of this minor hassle, but they're nowhere to be found. Can you offer any insight on how to exterminate them permanently, or am I stuck with these midly dangerous roommates?

EDIT: It's entirely possible that I just found it in an embarrassingly obvious place. Will update ASAP.

NiclAss , Nov 12th 2025 at 9:25 PM

Xoatl

Vanilla bug since one of the 1.21 versions we are aware of it and looking forward to the vs devs to fix it again. If it takes them too long we will remove those antler mounts temporary until its fixed.
But thanks for the info :)

Xoatl, Nov 12th 2025 at 9:12 PM

The mounted antlers in the churches spawned inverted so it looked like the horns connected to the wall and were holding up the plaques attached to the horns.

NiclAss , Nov 9th 2025 at 10:45 PM

CaptHarlowe

We dont change any vanilla schematic so no. But maybe if you share some more details about your bug maybe we can help. Preverably not in this comment section so either on our github or vanilla github or on discord offical or ours :)

CaptHarlowe, Nov 9th 2025 at 10:40 PM

Question, does this mod touch Tobias' Cave at all? I've been trying to track down the cause of some unknown blocks and I can't find any pics or whatnot of the bugged room. Tryed regenerating the area and moving it to no avail. Thank you for the wonderful mod nonetheless.

NiclAss , Nov 9th 2025 at 10:14 PM

Zelascelar

TLs shouldnt not be less overall.
but both spawn so betterruins and vanilla tls
You also get surface translocators with betterruins so yeah.

Maybe install the block overlay mod (xray mod) and scan for translocators to see if they are actually rare.

Zelascelar, Nov 7th 2025 at 6:31 PM (modified Nov 7th 2025 at 6:48 PM)

I also found the university. This mod is insane, spent hours exploring it and found a lot of secrets. It really gave me that dangerous kind of exploring feeling I've missed, so big thanks for this mod!

But do betterRuins fully replace vanilla ruins?

I'm having issues finding translocators. I first thought they disappeared completely after changing the config to make them more rare (to me the big ruins are too common) but it seems to be a thing even before touching config.

I can barely find a vanilla ruin and TLs are way too rare now. is there a setting I've missed? Traders do spawn for me.

Only worldgen mods I'm using are Terra Pretty and RiverGen

Maethius, Nov 5th 2025 at 6:34 AM

Got the old University wiped away and regenerated a new one fully above ground and ready to explore! Thank you for all the help on this issue! I've spent several hours exploring the location and I've only just seen most of the ground level... the tower and sewers await! ... I need a LOT more light sources if I ever hope to repair this massive thing and make it into a base. ^_^ It is a serious work of art.

NiclAss , Nov 4th 2025 at 10:39 PM

Voodooozo37

Thats about how it is atm. We can prob improve this and also make it a more streamlined experiance with a bit of lore added and the underground part extended.

NiclAss , Nov 4th 2025 at 10:38 PM

Darcmut
The once per world structure is something that can only be done by modding not config itself.

Voodooozo37, Nov 2nd 2025 at 10:20 PM (modified Nov 2nd 2025 at 10:27 PM)

Hey guys, I found the mansion and explored I think all of it? I didnt check every nook and cranny in the hole with locusts but is something supposted to be here other than the translocator to the other room? I only found one bellhead and no good loot or anything. And the room at the end that you access with translocator didnt have anything good either

Darcmut, Nov 2nd 2025 at 2:24 PM

NiclAss Ah, so is it possible to configure the structures like this on our side, or is it something you guys would have to add on your side?

Voodooozo37, Nov 2nd 2025 at 10:22 AM

I spawned that map from a command but it would not show me any location sadly : (

Baedel, Oct 31st 2025 at 3:32 PM

Sorry, that was caused by another mod, but thank you for your quick response.

NiclAss , Oct 31st 2025 at 2:58 PM

Baedel

What do you mean? The schematic is not consumed so why should I make it a tool????

noConsumeOnCrafting: true,

in the itemfile

Baedel, Oct 31st 2025 at 2:29 PM

I would appreciate it if you could craft blueprint recipes not just one after the other, but several at a time, like with tool recipes.

Spoiler

By adding "isTool: true, toolDurabilityCost: 0" to the blueprints in the recipe, this would be easy to implement.

Example:
"X": {type: "Item", code: "br-schematic-road", isTool: true, toolDurabilityCost: 0 },

NiclAss , Oct 29th 2025 at 9:54 PM

RPilcrow

Thats how it can generate atm.
It not really bound to spawn in cold climates but depending on other factors the chance exists that It can spawn there. I will improve this in the future lets say next big vanilla update so this is less likely to happen in the future but atm this is what can happen.
You can move that story structure manually we have video on this page its linked in the description which will allow you to move the structure and then regen the other chunks to regen those to normal colder terrain.

NiclAss , Oct 29th 2025 at 9:50 PM

Thanks a lot PureWinter! I will forward it to the team! <3

Go into creative menu then item tab and then search for map. It will list all the betterruins maps.

Voodooozo37, Oct 29th 2025 at 9:46 PM

I have slight problem, I bought a map to underground hideout from a trader but my game bugged and I dint get the map, however the trader shows that I have already bought it and he cant sell me another, is there a way to spawn this map by command? I couldnt find it in creative inventory : (

PureWinter, Oct 29th 2025 at 4:35 PM

Thanks for the hardwork by everyone who contributed to this amazing mod, and thanks NiclAss for keeping it up to date as much as you do. ??
The game would not be the same without this mod and playing without it is 'wanting' and far less fun. Thank you all so much!!

RPilcrow, Oct 29th 2025 at 3:19 PM (modified Oct 29th 2025 at 3:20 PM)

This is generating the desert ruins & its corresponding 40+ massive circle of degree desert near icy (-15 to 0) starts, by the by, which is a little frustrating given dealing with the cold is the interesting part of that. It'd be a lot more fine if the desert was just a no-rainfall area with sand, without changing the climate. It's also so sharp a change that the game will generate a snow transition at the border that it then removes because it realises it's too hot.

I'm also using the Rivers mod and Conquest Landforms, for posterity.

Also, is there any way to blast that off of my world and make sure it doesn't show up again or am I just stuck with a big-ass desert?

NiclAss , Oct 28th 2025 at 9:04 PM

DeathSeven

This noted under the MUST READ for Rivergen.
Completely break no at least there is no reason to do bcs nothing really changed in regards to RiverGen

Trader wagons are not related to this mod. So no idea whats going on on your end?

Started new world and some traders dont spawn in their wagons anymore???

I can't seem to turn in the meteoric knife that the Luxury Trader wants to get the map to the desert. The option appears to turn the knife in, but the trader doesn't take it, and doesn't give a map.

AtrophyTwink

Please try to select the Item tab in the creative inventory specifically. Only then they will show up. I might change that in the future to also display on the Everything tab but currently thats the way to go. Dont know about any incompatibilites in that way so pls re check

AtrophyTwink, Oct 23rd 2025 at 8:33 PM

NiclAss First thing I tried, but nothing came up when I tried multiple searches, so I had to resort to commands. Maybe thats some sort of mod conflict on my end? The only betterruins items I have access to in the creative menu are the blueprints.

NiclAss , Oct 23rd 2025 at 7:17 PM

Anyone know how I can cheat myself a coalmine map? I had one but before I got to use it to get the icon on my map, I accidentally threw it out and didnt realize until it had despawned :( 100 hours into this save and it was my first one so I'm pretty bummed!! Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: figured it out after some trial and error. For anyoen who ever comes across this and has the same problem, its /giveitem betteruins:locatormap-coalmines

Thank you for the help. I will take the issue to github.

NiclAss , Oct 14th 2025 at 8:59 PM

If you want to provide more info for the issue pls contact me on github with creating an issue (link on top) or discord (link on top) you.
You did send the client-main.log which are nice but I was looking for the server-main.log :P all good but for me to replicate this that would be useful.

This comment section is not made for bug reports and longer convos imo so I recommend the mentioned platforms.

NiclAss , Oct 14th 2025 at 8:57 PM

Yeah you can also import the structure via worldedit but It seems like something weird is going on bcs there should be no reason to result in the university not having normal terrain :P

You can try to regen the chunks but that will prob not help in your case.
If you want try to place it with worldedit but will prob need some time to get used to it and get it correctly placed.

Vintage Story has a video tutorial on worldedit which should cover the basics.

Dengeir, Oct 14th 2025 at 6:10 PM

Hi.Maethius! U can respawn University using World Edit and schematic from BetterRuins Modification! If u need advanced help u can Join to BetterRuins Discord and get more helps or tips !

Maethius, Oct 14th 2025 at 5:07 PM

Since I know I can reset the chunks containing the University, is there a way to re-spawn the megastructure?

Crash

NiclAss , Oct 12th 2025 at 6:15 PM

You can try to regenerate the chunks around the location yes it will still point you towards it.
I will still need a detailed bug report with complete modlist and server-main.log to track this down why this happend?

Maethius, Oct 12th 2025 at 5:40 PM (modified Oct 12th 2025 at 5:40 PM)

Machine: Windows 10 potato

VS version 1.21.4 (stable) - however, I believe it was 1.21.1 or 1.21.2 when the Univeristy was added to my map

BetterRuins version = 0.5.0 when the location rendered, but was the prior version when the location was added to the map.

I do not have the TerraPrety mod.

I know I can reset the chunks where the University generated, but will my system still say that location has already been added to the map? I know there is a World Edit command to spawn structures, but haven't tried to use it yet. Ironically, there is a large, flat island less than 100 blocks from the underwater generated location. If I used the command successfully, I could simply generate a new Univeristy there and still have my boat and elk nearby to explore it.

NiclAss , Oct 11th 2025 at 5:29 PM

Roflnomish
https://github.com/NicIAss/betterruins/blob/main/assets/game/worldgen/schematics/overground/main/largeruins/0501-freianofvoid-largeruin-o10.json

This sounds like a bug recently that Tera pretty introduced and fixed with their latest version.

Since you might not be able to update this mod it might be hard for you to experiance it correctly. But this is just my guess.
For normal worldgen this structure should spawn in plain flat land and not in any case in water.

If you can share some more details like versions and modlist I can look into it but from the information presented this is what I think the problem is.

Maethius, Oct 11th 2025 at 5:10 PM

Good morning!
I finally achieved my dream of reaching the University! ... I sailed to it with my trusty elk and... is it supposed to only be a largish tower sticking out of the water? It appears to have spawned at the bottom of an ocean trench! I could see maybe the top 40-50 blocks, but the rest is, naturally, flooded.

Is there a way I can spawn the University in a location I can actually experience it?

NiclAss , Oct 10th 2025 at 8:24 PM

ArmaDillidallier

These are the 3 locations for books.
The Glass Relic is just a chiseled block
You can grab it. No functionality tho

ArmaDillidallier, Oct 9th 2025 at 11:54 PM

Came across this POI and assuming its from Better Ruins mod. there are supposed to be 3 lore books around an ojbect called "Glass Relic (cold)" but I can only find 2. Any information on interacting with the object, collecting it, and the third lore book would be appreciated. the journal entry for the lore is The Dark Heat.

r/VintageStory - Would like info on this POI

NiclAss , Oct 8th 2025 at 9:16 PM

This is the schematic file from your image.

NiclAss , Oct 8th 2025 at 9:13 PM

ShaeTsu

Yes this is part of the structure environment.

ShaeTsu, Oct 8th 2025 at 9:07 PM

Are the Crossroads supposed to force generate a giant 40°C desert around them? It's surrounded entirely by an expected temperate climate.

NiclAss , Oct 8th 2025 at 7:49 PM

Migo

Thanks like discussed on dc I will wait a bit for the Meteoric steel mod to finalize a bit more. To then add a compatibility mod if still necessary for now it can be ignored.

Roflnomish, Oct 7th 2025 at 12:16 AM (modified Oct 7th 2025 at 1:35 AM)

is it this mod that adds in this mausoleum structure? i found one by chance on my last save and really liked it, but i've searched thousands of blocks in this new save and had no luck. i also looked to see if i could spawn one in with commands or something but i can't see any reference to a mausoleum in the files

Migo, Oct 6th 2025 at 8:57 PM

When loading with 1.21.4 it has a json error for one of the recipes.

6.10.2025 20:55:21 [Server Error] Grid Recipe 'betterruins:recipes/grid/schematic-mechanical/mechanical.json': Output Block code game:metalblock-new-plain-meteoricsteel cannot be resolved

Looks like an issue with Meteoric Steel and this mod.

Archadria, Oct 6th 2025 at 8:39 PM

NiclAss

so its generating at the bottom of the ocean in total, and with regeneration its making maybe a 20x15 room total. Some textures are broken and ect.

NiclAss , Oct 6th 2025 at 3:38 PM

Darcmut

Only story structure can generate once per world. So yes its possible.

NiclAss , Oct 6th 2025 at 3:37 PM

Aleh

Yes the teasers from the showcase are still being worked on.

None of them are finished at this point. But I think over the end of the year we could see some of them come into the mod.

NiclAss , Oct 6th 2025 at 3:34 PM

Archadria

This might help you.

Also if the location is already set but not generated you should be able to just /wgen delr <chunkradius>
To fix it.

But a bit better description of the problem would help if it doesnt work out.

Archadria, Oct 6th 2025 at 9:40 AM

I have had an issue probably fro another mod with the forlornhope dungeon/bastion

Is there a manual procedure to generate this?

Arasine, Oct 5th 2025 at 11:11 PM

Heya, any chance you can stop using Imgur to host images? Nothing shows in the UK if its hosted there now :( They banned UK due to not wanting to comply with child saftey checks, they'd rather ban an entire nation of people who have nothing to do with making the laws rather than do the minimum to protect kids:/

Alehzinho, Oct 5th 2025 at 9:13 PM

Won't this new castle from the video appear?

Darcmut, Oct 5th 2025 at 5:38 PM

Is there a possibility to make it so certain structures are only able to be generated once?

NiclAss , Oct 3rd 2025 at 5:15 PM

Mia_Bbzinha

Sounds like the forlorn bastion to me?
talk to the lux trader he should have a map to the forlorn hope tower which in the top has a map to the forlorn bastion in it.

NiclAss , Oct 3rd 2025 at 5:13 PM

Shannymara

Yes this is a common issue for heavy modded saves. It should adjust automatically from vanilla but for some it doesnt and need manual editing.

Shannymara, Oct 3rd 2025 at 5:07 PM (modified Oct 3rd 2025 at 5:10 PM)

I was having the "missing textures" issue with some structures. I would encounter them normally the first time but on return have lots of missing texture blocks, with both this mod and Better Traders.

Increasing the texture atlas size did seem to fix it for me. This is what I did:

Edit ...AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\clientsettings.json

Change maxTextureAtlasWidth and maxTextureAtlasHeight both to 8196.

Save the file, restart client.

Have not played enough yet to see if this might cause other problems with performance but it seems fine so far. My game is heavily modded so it makes sense it was the texture atlas issue now that I know about it. Hope this helps someone.

CascaMia, Oct 3rd 2025 at 11:48 AM (modified Oct 3rd 2025 at 11:49 AM)

Hey guys! What is the name of this ruin and how can I find it? (I tried to add an image here but I couldn't). It has white ancient columns with a big statue holding a spade and it has blue lights.This is the only big structure that I haven't found yet! Thank you!

NiclAss , Oct 2nd 2025 at 8:46 PM

NotHughesy

The math is def a bit complicated bcs panning is something you can plan and decide to do but finding certain ruins is def not.

This is the randomizer which has the crown in it. But it could also be found in it as a ground storage but maybe this can help you :P

NotHughesy, Oct 1st 2025 at 2:23 AM

NiclAss Thanks for making this great mod. I took a look through the Github but I couldn't figure out the loot table rarity. My group is curious if the Gold Coronet is more or less rare than panning for it - the answer determines if the person who found the crown is our king or not. Is it possible to determine this, or is the math a bit complicated?

NiclAss , Sep 28th 2025 at 8:38 PM

Setmose

Certain groups of structure do not spawn close to spawn so thats prob what you are running into.

NiclAss , Sep 28th 2025 at 8:38 PM

TehKey

Most structure have a certain distance from spawn where they can not spawn so thats prob what you are running into.
More details on each group of structures min spawn distance can be found in the config. with the config mods or on this page hidden in a spoiler.

NiclAss , Sep 28th 2025 at 8:36 PM

MelbaMel

The only way to help you is with more informations and for that I would recommend a bug report on our discord or on our githubs issue tracker.
I think you might have installed a new version of the mod not suited for your game version but its hard to say without any details.

NiclAss , Sep 28th 2025 at 8:14 PM

Apocalypse_Andy

Thanks I will look into it and if its an issue it will be fixed with the next update. Good find!

NiclAss , Sep 28th 2025 at 8:14 PM

daepicdude123

No. Seems like you are just unlucky.

NiclAss , Sep 28th 2025 at 8:10 PM

luxferens

That issue sounds like a texture atlas problem to me.
Are you running a bigger mod list some people experiance swapped textures so please download a texture atlas fix mod or increase the texture atlas manually.

Here from a message from the vintage story discord

Texture Atlas Problem

Some players have reported problems with missing/broken textures in game of late, so I am bumping the conversation that was had here between Tyron and Tels:
https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/402173001178677268/1061258434659487754

Most notably: "*its also quite possible that the array texture system is too limiting to be even usable for us*" - Tyron

I believe that there are maybe a half dozen mods that use a LOT of textures, and those mods are causing other completely unrelated mods to have broken textures. **Meaning this is a problem for ALL MODDERS.**

I have brought this to the attention of a couple of modders to hopefully alleviate some of these bug reports. Long story short - if your mod uses a lot of textures, or textures that are larger than, say, 128x128, then use these commands in both vanilla and with your mod installed...

`.debug exptexatlas item
.debug exptexatlas block
.debug exptexatlas entity`

...to ensure that you are not having too much impact on the SHARED texture atlases. These commands will create png files in `%AppData%\Roaming\VintageStory`, like itemAtlas...png, blockAtlas...png, and entityAtlas...png. Visual representations of the texture atlases. Example here:
https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/351624415039193098/1097210131529347082

It is a difficult conversation to have with modders and I don't particulary want to be "that" guy, so I'm just trying to raise awareness of what I perceive to be the issue.

----- MORE INFO FOR PLAYERS -----

You CAN increase the size of the texture atlases but it may come with a performance hit.

Either: Use chat commands in game, and then reload the world:

`.clientconfig maxTextureAtlasWidth 8192
.clientconfig maxTextureAtlasHeight 8192`

Or: Edit `%AppData%/Roaming/VintagestoryData/clientsettings.json`
and change these like so:

`"maxTextureAtlasWidth" : 8192
"maxTextureAtlasHeight": 8192`

NiclAss , Sep 28th 2025 at 8:04 PM

Rackhamm

The maps in Treasure Hunters tradelists are still added so its a random chance that he sells them.

NiclAss , Sep 28th 2025 at 8:04 PM

OrangeAkita

If you have the mod installed on the server and your client and they are the same version they will not have to be downloaded bcs you already have them.
Im guessing that is what happening.
So if you see the blueprints of the mod the mod is def loaded also on your client.

OrangeAkita, Sep 28th 2025 at 4:51 PM

Im using a dedicated server that I made on an old home PC. For the most part everything runs great. I am having what I think is an issue? I have the mod put in the mods folder of my server and it shows up there. But when I go to get into the sever on my laptop, it doesnt prompt me to download the betterruins mod nor does it appear in my laptop's mods folder for the server. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone had this issue?

(When im in game on my laptop I do see blueprints in my handbook that say "mod: better ruins"

Rackhamm, Sep 27th 2025 at 9:05 AM

Are the Treasure Hunter traders in 1.21 Better Ruins no longer sellings maps to locations like underground hideouts and the like? I've played for a while on a few different new seeds and have yet to find a treasure hunter that cycles these map locations through their sale inventory. Am I missing something?

AdamC, Sep 27th 2025 at 12:54 AM

The more new types of ruins I find, the more I realize the scale of effort it must have taken to make all these. Thank you guys so much this is amazing!

luxferens, Sep 26th 2025 at 5:50 PM (modified Sep 26th 2025 at 5:52 PM)

I've been using v0.5.0 on 1.21.0 and unfortunately some of the support beams in the four-tower castle/keep (with the broken floor revealing the basement) are textured as cobblestone blocks oddly. I did see this happen to some crumbled village ruins aswell. It's very unsightly and i can tell it isn't intentional. Does anyone know if this is fixed in a later version and if updating it would ruin things? I stopped messing with updates of mods after one of them turned the interiors of ruins into question mark blocks. I should add that breaking the beams, which is annoyingly difficult to do, drops aged support beams.

daepicdude123, Sep 24th 2025 at 12:47 AM

Is there something preventing large structures from spawning in medium fertility areas, or am I just unlucky?

Apocalypse_Andy, Sep 19th 2025 at 11:28 PM (modified Sep 21st 2025 at 4:22 AM)

I am unable to smith cupronickel plates. The plate selection does not appear. v1.21.1, mod v0.5.0. So I cannot smith the plates to create blocks with the machinists blueprint. Anything I can check on my end? Thanks. Edit: I was just going to assume that it was all the non vanilla plates, but zinc and tin work. Nickel and cupronickel do not, haven't tested others.

Unrooted, Sep 17th 2025 at 2:36 PM

NiclAss Thanks for checking! At the start, there were no issues, when we first got to that location I gave you. Anywhere worked fine. Overtime is when things got bad. I couldn't give you a time frame but after several weeks of gameplay, it just started to get choppier and choppier until I'd get frozen like that. I really can't explain it.

BrownishStorm, Sep 16th 2025 at 4:23 PM (modified Sep 16th 2025 at 4:39 PM)

I have done some more exploring and determined this section I found it's a perfectly square island in the ocean. I believe it may be because this mod generated a dungion there. I am so excited lol

BrownishStorm, Sep 16th 2025 at 2:32 AM (modified Sep 16th 2025 at 2:36 AM)

Hey so I added this to an existing save. I set the world gen on creation such that the world is an island world. With this mod installed I sailed west and ran into a streight line of continet (including a mountin range thats been cut in half where it meets the water) and some sweet ruins. Is there something I need to do so that the new chunks being generated still conform to my water to land ratios?

MelbaMel, Sep 16th 2025 at 1:54 AM

I had to transfer my game to a new computer by downloading the files from the old computer to the new one. Now the mod will not work properly. I have tried deleting the mod and redownloading it, but it has not fixed it. It's most noticable with the blueprints that I have, they are just black squares. Is there a way to fix this so they work again?

TehKey, Sep 14th 2025 at 4:30 AM

Sussu Setmose NiclAss I'm having pretty much the same issue. The ruins just aren't showing up around spawn, but vanilla ruins are still? I tested the Battle Towers mod and that one seems to work fine. It also seemed like setting the spawn rate under BetterRuins config affected the spawn rate of the Battle Towers while not spawning anything Better Ruins related. I teleported 4000 blocks south of spawn and found a few Better Ruins ruins, though.

lmperfect, Sep 13th 2025 at 3:32 PM

I found a ruin with an Item I could not see, "Unknown Block ID 13114" I believe its supposed to be possibly a Pipe or perhaps a broken item holder? uncertain, if anyone knows what item its supposed to be greatly would appreciate that :) for now its just gunna stay a silly ? block

Setmose, Sep 13th 2025 at 12:14 PM

Sussu NiclAss I'm having (sort of) the same issue. Before, I could jaunt barely a distance before seeing an interesting location on the map to head towards, but now even vanilla ruins are barely showing up, and yours just aren't there at all.. at least, never anywhere near the starting area. I disabled all mods except yours, created a new world, and flew around for a bit, only finding 2 vanilla ruins. I did finally find a lot of ruins I assume are yours, all very close together, but I had to fly around -4000, -4000 to find them.

Archadria, Sep 13th 2025 at 3:33 AM

Normally the mod works fantastic, but it shares a common problem with a few story locations in a max height world.

The ruins tend to spawn on the ocean floor, so does the lazaret and devastationarea btw. (already submitted to github)

Thanks for the amazing work!

I got it fixed, but I don't know whether or not it took a game restart, since I went to another trader and everything worked out.

NiclAss , Sep 12th 2025 at 8:15 PM

Sussu

Mhh if the Items are working the structures will also spawn. Can you please send some images of other ruins which are not th3dungeon ruins as images.
Otherwise a server-main.log would help aswell either here but preferably on our github tyvm.

NiclAss , Sep 12th 2025 at 8:13 PM

GreatHefty

The quest for the university is completely isolated to any other quest so you should get the map.... Dont need to visit any other place before.

NiclAss , Sep 12th 2025 at 8:09 PM

I think this might be a rare vanilla issue let me know if it is similar or the same as you can see in this issue created on vanilla game.

NiclAss , Sep 12th 2025 at 8:08 PM

You will need both config mods on the server alongside betterruins and then you need to either upload your previously setup config file to the server or you straight up edit the file on the server. Bcs iirc config lib doesnt let you edit those values which are server sided from your client in the UI only in the file on the server.

Hope this helped otherwise let me know or create an issue on our github with necessary informations.

Check your server-main.log if the mod is running and or if you can see our blueprint items in the handbook then you know the mod is loaded.

NiclAss , Sep 12th 2025 at 8:03 PM

Thanks a lot for creating the issue. I will keep you updated on the github issue but I recently tried to launch my game with your modlist and it seems to now want to launch without crashing. I will look into it again and will let you know.

NiclAss , Sep 12th 2025 at 7:59 PM

Ahh ok thanks a lot for the message good to know for the future. Glad its resolved.

Sussu, Sep 12th 2025 at 3:44 PM

hello, i also have a problem with this mod not spawning any structures anywhere. The blueprints added by the mod do load into the game.Vanilla and 'ancient dungeons' ruins do spawn, though they don't have any better ruins content in them either.

GreatHefty, Sep 12th 2025 at 8:25 AM

Do I need to clear the the Tower before being able to get the map to the university? I found what the trader was looking for, but they won't drop either the map or the 10 gears.

moonbeer, Sep 11th 2025 at 2:31 PM

I have a small problem with the mod in the 1.21.0 version. In SP its function normal and can be confiq, but in MP its disappears and cant be confiq and no structures of the mod loads.

This even happened when it was the only mod beside the confiq lib mods. Hope you can help me with that.

TheWelp, Sep 10th 2025 at 8:53 PM

Is there another mod prereq for this? I've just encountered the coal mine on my modded server and past the initial house is all ? blocks.

Unrooted, Sep 9th 2025 at 10:34 PM

NiclAss Tried my best to make the issue, sorry if it's bad or not even your mod that causes the problem, it's just that it did seem to get fixed when I disabled it. I was going to update my mods and the Vintage story version, thinking it might fix it. I held off because of wanting to let you check this out and to go back to explore and find out more if you asked me, but if you tell me it's fine, I'll update things, and I'll update BetterRuins, and I'll see if it happens again? Whatcha think?

Anabella, Sep 9th 2025 at 9:54 PM

NiclAss I was told in the discord that it is a fog issue. That fog shows up below ground and it doesn't have the fog look but just darkness. It had happened to me in this ruin two times, so was why I was checking here. It has gone back normal. I also dug a 2x2 hole down to let natural light in so if it happens again I, in theory, should be able to see the fog.

NiclAss , Sep 9th 2025 at 7:06 PM

Mhh this is not related to this mod. Either a landform mod or your world settings?
You can still create a bug report on either our page or on vanillas issue tracker bcs its either vanilla or other landform mod or stuff that changes terrain.

NiclAss , Sep 9th 2025 at 7:04 PM

and what vanilla version your are on is interesting aswell.

NiclAss , Sep 9th 2025 at 7:04 PM

Yes zip file with all your activated mods in it.
And if you have world where the issue is replicateable share that aswell with coordinates where to look at it.

NiclAss , Sep 9th 2025 at 7:01 PM

Anabella

Sounds like a normal lighting bug to me.
try
.debug relightchunk
if that doesnt work try to update a block in that chunk by either breaking or placing a block and let me know if any of that fixes it. ty for the report

NiclAss , Sep 9th 2025 at 6:38 PM

chorzo

Yes those village formation structures can spawn in water its sadly not possible to prevent that for that structure type it shouldnt spawn in oceans tho just in lakes.
Thanks for the images btw.

Mans_laughter, Sep 9th 2025 at 5:26 PM

NiclAss sorry I should have specified that I am spawning at the bottom of the ocean, not structures. Whenever I make a new world the first thing I see is a wall of water and I have to swim up and find land. I'll create a github issue and specify what I can a little later when I have some spare time. Thanks for the response though :D

Unrooted, Sep 9th 2025 at 4:52 PM

NiclAss Do you mean a zip with the actual mods in it? Just haven't really dealt with github or issues an stuff. Or you mean their zip names? But I'll give you all what you need, when I get the answer so it's in one thing. And thanks for checking into it!

chorzo, Sep 9th 2025 at 2:13 PM (modified Sep 9th 2025 at 4:19 PM)

Hi, NiclAss, you asked for a screenshot of the ruins underwater. Here is one from my example. I would like to mention that it is with TerraPrety mod, but after reporting this in the comments TerraPrety mod, the author said that it is not the fault of this mod, if I understand correctly. Best regards.

https://ibb.co/jZZDQ1gN

https://ibb.co/bj3PqY6q

Updated: I try on default Landcover (97.5%), It's better, but ruins can still spawn in the water

https://ibb.co/1YV0D7K0

Anabella, Sep 9th 2025 at 2:03 PM

Is there anything in the mod that makes one of the larger ruins stop letting lighting work? I can put down torches or paper lanterns and they worked for a bit then all of a sudden they just stopped. I had looted a good little chunk of the place before this happened. I am thinking it is a bug in the game but making sure there isn't in this mod that causes this to happen. I can barely see in front of me.

NiclAss , Sep 7th 2025 at 7:53 PM

After some testing I couldnt find any ruins in the ocean so pls provide a way to replicate this or images. tyvm

NiclAss , Sep 7th 2025 at 7:46 PM

This is our issue tracker its the best way to figure out what is causing and how to resolve a problem.

https://github.com/NicIAss/betterruins/issues

NiclAss , Sep 7th 2025 at 7:45 PM

Mans_laughter

Hey thanks for all that input would you mind creating issues on our github? Where we can gather all the relevant information to debug this?
Im especially looking for exact modlists as .zip if possible and vanilla version mentions.
and if possible a world file with coordinates where such problem happens.

a seed would also do with a exact modlist.

Something I dont understand in this whole issue is that there is something causing a performance problem in existing chunks which doesnt make much sense for betterruins since it only affects worldgen besides the blueprints and lore.
so all of the ruins and stuff are still present if you uninstall it so it doesnt make sense that the lag is just gone. bcs all of those are still around you.

NiclAss , Sep 7th 2025 at 7:38 PM

Mans_laughter

Interesting can you share some images so we can confirm those are betterruins structures bcs vanilla has a function which lets certain structures spawn above sealevel but it doesnt work for all structures.

You can also use our github to create an issue its simpler to look at then this comment section ty.

I will do some testing with latest tera pretty aswell and let you know if I find something odd.

NiclAss , Sep 7th 2025 at 7:36 PM

wael6

Mhh I see yeah.
The items are actually called schematics but I decided to name them blueprints bcs it was fitting more imo.

wael6, Sep 7th 2025 at 7:08 PM

NiclAss sorry for the late response i was unavailable, this is about the blueprints being called blueprints and not schematics and the items not being schematic type items, what i meant is that in game similar items are called schematics and not blueprints, just a consistency thing, and the vanilla schematics have a special ground storage taking up a full block, and yes purposefull storage is another mod and it adds a bunch of storage options like a schematic rack

Mans_laughter, Sep 7th 2025 at 6:25 PM

When used with Terra Pretty I encounter extremely frequent spawns at the bottom of the ocean in a middle of nowhere :(

Unrooted, Sep 7th 2025 at 2:27 PM

BroccoliClock : I do use Terra Prety. I got some mods that generate things differently, but Terra Prety is the biggest one. The others are BetterTraders, five different FloraZones mods that spawn plants and whatnot. The rest of them are mostly mechanics and crafting recipes. So just so you're aware, even if you're using Terra Prety, it was still a problem for me to use Better Ruins.

BroccoliClock, Sep 7th 2025 at 12:06 PM

Thanks for the heads up. I had thought that it may be a conflict between the world gen mods I was using and BR, as it seems to have resolved itself (at least for now) switching to using Terra Prety. You don't mention if you have used any world gen stuff, so maybe it's not the world gen that is at fault.

I probably should have said this earlier, but I really do appreciate the amount of time and effort put into producing the mod, both you and your colleagues. :)

Unrooted, Sep 7th 2025 at 1:04 AM (modified Sep 7th 2025 at 1:36 AM)

BroccoliClock :

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one with that issue! The problem is I've got like, 100 mods or so, not just a handful like you, but I was going through my list to update them, and I read this message you wrote! I live in a crater, like a large bowl area, and it's in singleplayer. I get these areas that get me to just get choppy visuals, basically frame drops, and then I get home, and it's fine.

So I thought of testing this, and anyway, I hit those areas, which I'd explored in the past, I don't recall having issues then, but it gets so bad now that my character freezes in place. I can spin my head very slowly, and if I try walking, it makes my camera bob down into the dirt, and back up to where it should be, as if I'm walking but it's amplified. I can see other people, but they see me just standing there, even when attempting to move. They have no issues running where I am, at least nothing as bad as I have had. I'm having my friends try it out themselves too as we play while I'm hosting.

I have no other mods that you have but BR. The only way for me to exit the area is to run home, before it actually freezes my legs, otherwise I have to restart the game, booting everyone else. I was hoping that updating the mods I had would fix the issue, but if it's this mod, I'd be able to test that by removing it. I'll do it soon, too, so I can confirm it and write an update here.

NiclAss :

I'll write a confirmation that it was BR soon, but it's really unplayable with this happening, if it is because of BR, unfortunately. I haven't exactly crashed from it so I'm not sure where to see data or anything on what's causing it.

Keeping you guys posted. o7

Edit: Also, still very nice mod, and hello! o/

Edit after testing:

I first went to the area with my friend, without disabling anything. I started lagging and froze, while he could still run around, break blocks and do anything. Then we restarted, I disabled BR, and tried again. I WAS FINALLY FREE!~ I could run up the mountain and the forest, all ran smoothly--but he rejoined and started having the issues I was having, freezing in place.

He never had that before. It's like it targeted one player only? I'm not sure, but we forgot to make him disable his own BR. I had him go and do that, and he had some lag but I think it was internet more than anything, because we both could just run through the area I couldn't even step into. So yeah, that's the extent of my tests. I'll check back in later to see if there's questions or if you need me to test specifics, I'd do it. Thanks BroccoliClock , for pointing out your issue, because I wouldn't have known which mod caused this, EVERRR.

Nixus, Sep 5th 2025 at 5:28 PM

NiclAss: We've updated to 1.21, lets see if this is now working :).

But the /wgen was also working, thx for the hint.

Greetings NIXUS

BroccoliClock, Sep 5th 2025 at 3:06 PM

Just a little update, I regenned my world but this time I used Terra Prety, while ditching Continental World and RiverGen. While I have not explored a lot, I've certainly not run into the same issues as I had before.

BroccoliClock, Sep 4th 2025 at 10:15 AM

yeah, I appreciate it's hardly a "I installed X and now Y happens, here is an image of Y and here are the debug logs", sorry for that.

I have a feeling it's the world gen mods creating a world that for some reason conflicts with BR, and in turn causing a freak out when it renders. As I say, I never went looking for the specific "ruin" (if it is that) that may have caused the issue due to such a severe drop in frames, although the rest of the map was totally fine. I do get frame rate drops in "busy forests" but that's just the nature of voxel rendering, it's never a huge drop and nothing quite like I'm experiencing now.

It's a new world so there is no issue with regenerating it. I see that Terra Prety states it "should be compatible with BR" (although no rivers, which is a shame, and a bit disappointed to see that haven't been added into the default generation code) so I might go with that.

Ultimately if I am the only person to mention this, then it's probably a very niche bug (or a very specific condition based on the way RiverGen/BR affect the geology) and not worth your time testing for.

Thanks for the quick feedback.

==[bc]==

NiclAss , Sep 4th 2025 at 7:53 AM

BroccoliClock

Mhh thats a tough one.
For the future check the wikis perfomance guide you can run a command that outputs possible reasons for your lag spikes.
https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Debugging_Performance_Issues

Did you install betterruins after worldcreation?
Im guessing not but this could explain the lag bcs RiverGen is partially incompatible with betterruins.

Other than that there could be a lot more reasons for it but without more logs and like the debug for the lag spikes its hard to say.

I have not received any other reports of such massive perfomance issues.

I will try to replicate this in the next days but if its not showing up in a reasonable time I will drop it and blame it on rivergen and betterruins incompatibility.

NiclAss , Sep 4th 2025 at 7:42 AM

Alhef

No should not cause any problems related to betterruins.

The only incompatibility was updating vanilla or betterruins alongside old rivers version and rivergen.
But the og rivers mod fixed that recently.

NiclAss , Sep 4th 2025 at 7:38 AM

Smoke03

That is intended. Its just a left over and foundation work and can be used as loot for the player to excavate. Yes it could be changed to soil or rock but currently its just loot.

BroccoliClock, Sep 4th 2025 at 7:28 AM

I started a new world for 1.21, I had not used BR before and planned using it for this one. My mod list consists of QP Chisel Tools, Juicy Ores, River Gen, Continental World, and one of my own which simply allows you to craft sticks from planks (just a json file).

:: links: Continental World - https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/21831 , River Gen - https://mods.vintagestory.at/rivergen , Juicy Ores - https://mods.vintagestory.at/juicyores , Chisel Tools - https://mods.vintagestory.at/chiseltools

All was working fine until I hit a forest area, quite dense, and I suffered lag. Ok, possibly just a bit "busy" in the forest, and the latest update maybe needs a tweak, but as I got further into the forest it got worse, much worse. I decided to drop the quality from high the medium. No change. I was running at 30fps on med when before I was in the high 80+ on high. At that point I thought it was a memory leak, so relogged not just the save but restarted the game too. Load back into the same spot, and sadly the lag is still there.

As you can probably tell the next step is removing mods, and as I have so few of them BR was the prime candidate. Once removed, I reloaded my save and the lag was gone, I could put the quality levels back up and I was sitting at 80+ again.

The weird thing is, I had no structures (that I could see). It was a forest, a dense redwood tree one at that, and while I didn't scan the whole chunk it just seemed like normal.

I could provide you with the save file if that would help, but removing BR immediately solved my game breaking lag. Sorry this isn't as specific a bug report as you'd like, it's all a bit nebulous, but the lag was so bad I wasn't going to search the area for whatever was causing it.

Is it specifically something in BR? No idea, it's a very well known and loved mod, I would be surprised if I was the only person suffering it. I have so few mods I can't see where the conflict would be, if there is one. I checked the comments for the world generation mods, RiverGen and Continental World and there was no comments that people were suffering lag.

As I say, lots of people use this mod and if they aren't getting such drastic lag, then it's going to be something specific to my game/mod list/pc, but the problem resolves itself by removing Better Ruins from my mod list (sadly).

==[bc]==

ElTioGaara, Sep 4th 2025 at 3:53 AM

I have a question, I updated to 1.21 and I had the Riversgen mod, if I already deleted it and I have the Rivers mod (the normal one) is there a problem? = because I can't find the mod structures

Smoke03, Sep 3rd 2025 at 8:58 PM (modified Sep 3rd 2025 at 9:13 PM)

I think I found a bug with this castle structure, the path that leads throughout it appears to have limestone cobblestone of various types along with muddy gravel spawn above the stone path blocks that im assuming should make up the pathway, top right is the map of the castle structure.

NiclAss , Sep 3rd 2025 at 8:36 PM

Narg

Yeah those are prob filler blocks which do not really exisit but are in the schematic file to prevent blocks to spawn there.
It shouldnt display on the map but the colored map is not really a thing anymore on default so I didnt bother to let the vs devs to know about it. They prob know about it but its just not very high prio.

Im not aware of any mods that fix this tho.

NiclAss , Sep 3rd 2025 at 8:33 PM

ClosedBoudy

Yeah gotcha. Its how we do it currently tho and it has its ups and downs.

Narg, Sep 3rd 2025 at 6:34 PM

NiclAss hey, figured here is as good a place to ask as anywhere else. I'm getting broken airmap problems with one of the ruins just like caves give, that white map block and all. The sunken keep with a giant oak tree if that matters for anything. I was using the mod Broken Map Cave Fix until recently but that seems to have broken with 1.21, any suggestions?

ClosedBoudy, Sep 2nd 2025 at 9:42 PM

NiclAss it does sort of, but we had wished to incorporate our renovating by chiseling in new stone where old stone had broken but it seems like we'll need just just fully break all the damaged blocks. It is abit of a shame since i feel like it would look cooler if i could fill in the little cracks and nooks with chiseling

NiclAss , Sep 2nd 2025 at 7:52 PM

Nixus

Glad you like the mod.

Regarding the issue you posted vanilla might have fixed stuff like that on 1.21 otherwise there is not a lot you can do besides /wgen regen the area where the issued structure is at. and hope to either make it spawn correctly or be replaced by non or other ruins.

NiclAss , Sep 2nd 2025 at 7:51 PM

ClosedBoudy

Those are chiseled blocks that are disabled which means they are not chiseled blocks itself but drop their stone material if they are stone typed.
Otherwise they will not drop anything.
This is used for all the damaged parts of ruins but not on stuff like windows and other decoration which are still droppable for the player.

Let me know it that answers your question.

Nixus, Sep 2nd 2025 at 4:04 PM (modified Sep 2nd 2025 at 4:05 PM)

Hi,

first of all, nice Mod we love the more "WOW" structures :)

About our problem:
On our server in version 1.20.12 with Betterruins version 0.4.15 all looked fine at the beginning, until we found a big structure which had many many question mark blocks.
They are unknown or of the name is "Unusable clutter" but with no type:

The server has the following mod list:

ACulinaryArtillery 1.2.5

alchemy 1.6.56

axleinblocks 1.21.0

BetterFirepit-1.1.6

BetterRuinsv0.4.15

bricklayers-3.0.3

buzzwords 1.8.0

configlib 1.5.3

electricalprogressivebasics 2.0.1

electricalprogressiveqol 2.0.2

ExpandedFoods 1.7.4

expanded matter-3.2.3

foodshelves 2.2.1

Immersive Corpse Drop 1.0.3

KsRealisticFarming v1.0.5

levelup 2.0.3

more-map-icons-cs-1.1.0

nbcartographer 2.1.1

petai v3.4.3

primitivesurvival 3.8.0

rivers 4.6.0

rustboundmagic 2.5.7

sortablestorage 2.3.1

spyglass 0.5.2

TerraPrety 7.0.5

vinconomy 0.4.0

vsimgui 1.1.8

vsinstrumentsbase 2.0.3

wildfarmingrevival 1.3.8

wolftaming v3.0.8

The server was new set up (no update, all mods includes from the first time) in the version described above.
Any idea why the question mark block are there or did I missed somthing about other mods?

Many thanks

NIXUS

ClosedBoudy, Sep 2nd 2025 at 10:17 AM

Hello! first off my group absolutely love this mod, but we're having issues trying to renovate one of the smaller ruins but i can not seem to chisel any of the blocks unless they are full blocks

NiclAss , Aug 31st 2025 at 5:33 PM

Tehgarin

There is no mechanics like you explained.
No structure is marked completed in any way.
You just explore them and decide on your own when its "completed"

NiclAss , Aug 31st 2025 at 5:32 PM

Ando01

Yeah should be fine I have booted it with betterruins and Terra Prety and it works.
But I cant tell you how much different the ruin spawn chances are bcs of their changes to the terrain.

Q_qTip, Aug 31st 2025 at 3:32 PM

Tehgarin - like on map, when you hover? I dont get it at any location, mine, tower nor bastion.

Tehgarin, Aug 31st 2025 at 2:27 AM (modified Sep 1st 2025 at 8:35 AM)

Thank You for that info about how to regen the structure. ANother question.

The forlorn tower after you visit it the X on the map says completed..? Butthe Forlorn Bastion didnt..? I even went into god mode and looked to see if there was anything I missed and could not find anything. Does this Forlorn bastion or (dungeon) not haver a complete.. like the tower or did I truley miss somthing.?

Thank You again for Spactaculer mod..by the way..

Updated Edit: Man sheesh it was just my sillyness I had originally marked my X marker as completed.. OMG..? The shame.

for some reason in 1.21 verson no better ruins are spawning at all

Running mod version 0.5.0-rc1 on 1.21 stable.
Structures seem to generate as usual, the blueprints i've obtained are still in my chest and recipes involving them also still work.

My settings from the 1.20 version of the mod have been retained, and using the in game config menu works if using Config Lib 1.10.1 (for 1.21.0-rc.6) + ImGUI 1.1.12 (for 1.21.0-rc.4)

KillerJam25

There will be a update today but for now the latest rc version of betterruins should still work? I havent tested it enough so thats why it is still not marked compatible.

So prob just wait for the update today in like 5-10hrs depending if there are larger issues that came with vanillas changes from 1.21.0-rc.7 to 1.21.0 stable

NiclAss , Aug 26th 2025 at 9:55 AM

Im not familiar with the latest changes on TerraPrety mod so I cant tell you what the best settings for betterruins are but you can make some test worlds and try it with different multipliers like 1.4 or 1.7 sound reasonable to me.

That is a chiseled block so there is no block id I can give you. You need to regenerate that structure and then grab it again. /wgen delr 5 around the story structure you grabbed it will reset it.

Hello, was wondering If I could get an item id for an item in the better ruins mod. It was from the Forlornhope Dungeon. It was a Block item next to a grave with bars on the gravecant remember the name of it but it was like Sir--- somthing. I accidently deleted it when I got back to my city and Would like to get it back. Tried looking through modinfo.json and many other files for mod but could not find it.. I have the others still from the graves but missing the unique square block item. ANy idea what the code is so I can spawn it in..?

Thank you in advance..

KillerJam25, Aug 26th 2025 at 12:43 AM

as wondering if the mod will be updated?

DragoKnight, Aug 24th 2025 at 10:02 PM

Hi, the mod runs great and I love the ruins. However I've recently installed the Terra Prety mod and it's recommended to change world configuration for Landcover and Landcover Scale. I understand this might affect the generation fo ruins and it appears that it makes them exeptionally rare using Terra Prety suggested configurations. Would you happen to know the best world config for Better Ruins while using Terra Prety?

NiclAss , Aug 23rd 2025 at 3:10 PM

ToastyNon

No guide for it. You can prob take a look at the structure in a new world and gather screenshots or spawn in the schematic in creative mode.

ToastyNon, Aug 22nd 2025 at 9:24 PM

Is there a way to reassemble the weeping knight? maybe a guide? I took it apart to move it to my friends base and i forgot to take pcics

Hey I think there is no difference between having them called schematic or blueprint a blueprint doesnt have to be blue.
What do you mean with into an actual schematic type items?
In vintage story there are just items and blocks what do you mean by that.
Also what is a purposeful storage schematic rack? Another mod?
They are ground storable and are all on the same size which makes sense so I dont see some of the issues you mentioned.

Would be nice if you further expanded on your statements ty

wael6, Aug 22nd 2025 at 12:49 PM (modified Aug 22nd 2025 at 12:50 PM)

could you please make the blueprints into actual schematic type items and not regular items please ? its really annoying them not having the right size when place on the ground and not working with purposeful storage schematic racks, also the "blueprints" aren't blueprints since the paper isn't blue, they're schematics,

MachineOfMekhane, Aug 20th 2025 at 3:40 AM

oh, you know what would cause these problems? not having the mod enabled like the absolute moron i am

MachineOfMekhane, Aug 19th 2025 at 9:17 PM

just rechecked the luxuries trader and the treasure hunter trader, neither of them have dialogue or trades for the forlorn hope tower, only for the resonance archives and the lazaret on the treasure hunter

MachineOfMekhane, Aug 19th 2025 at 9:14 PM (modified Aug 19th 2025 at 9:17 PM)

i thought neither of those were vanilla structures, ill recheck all the dialogue for the luxuries trader

NiclAss , Aug 19th 2025 at 6:46 PM

MachineOfMekhane

Most of the story structures which only spawn once per world can be found by going through the dialogue of the lux trader. Thats where you will get a map to find them. The chance to find those structures by luck is insanely low.

MachineOfMekhane, Aug 19th 2025 at 6:16 AM

is there any way to find a specific structure in the world? im super late game and have covered a ridiculous area but cannot find the forlorn hope tower (and by extension, the bastion).

Greebus_Gringle, Aug 18th 2025 at 7:44 AM

Guess I have some mod removing the normal support beam recipe, for some darn reason. My bad.

NiclAss , Aug 17th 2025 at 7:00 PM

Greebus_Gringle

You seem to have misunderstood the blueprint. It doesn’t change anything about the normal support beam recipes; it just lets you craft them more efficiently if you acquire the blueprint. It also allows you to craft some support beams (ropes) that aren’t craftable in vanilla. So please recheck that and let me know if it works out.

Greebus_Gringle, Aug 17th 2025 at 6:43 PM

I absolutely love this mod but there is one tiny thing bugging me. The shipwrights blueprint locks support beams behind itself, stopping players from using them for building or recipes added by other mods, for example Toolsmith.

If this recipe change could be removed or made toggleable I would be very happy.

Until then I'll just spawn it in in creative.

Thanks both of you for the nice feedback!
We are glad that you enjoy the mod so much!
Thank you for playing with our mod :)

And Stratateles no there is no structure after the University.

This issue came up with vanilla 1.21.0-rc.4 and is now fixed by the vs devs on 1.21.0-rc.5

Thanks for the heads up tho!

NiclAss , Aug 17th 2025 at 3:15 PM

This sounds like a texture atlas issue to me. Have you tried increasing the texture atlas with either commands or such a mod.

Here a snippet from SpearAndFang:

Increase your texture atlas sizes!

If your game's texture atlases are too small all kinds of problems can crop up, from things in game having wrong textures to invisible blocks to the game crashing.

Pick ONE method below:

METHOD 1: Have the person that is experiencing the problem run these two commands in game (and then restart their game):

.clientconfig maxTextureAtlasWidth 8192
.clientconfig maxTextureAtlasHeight 8192

METHOD 2: Have the person that is experiencing the problem edit their %AppData%/Roaming/VintagestoryData/clientsettings.json file and change these two settings to something like:

"maxTextureAtlasWidth" : 8192,
"maxTextureAtlasHeight" : 8192,

El_Neuman, Aug 16th 2025 at 12:15 PM

This mod should be part of the game rather than just a mod. I hope the developers use it in a future game update 10/10

Asmodus, Aug 16th 2025 at 2:31 AM

Ran into an issue on 1.21 rc4 where the coal mine maps you can get from some ruins lead to nothing. Not sure if there's another conflict going on but so far I've found two maps and both locations have nothing there above or below ground.

breeze108, Aug 15th 2025 at 9:23 PM (modified Aug 15th 2025 at 9:53 PM)

I'm playing single player 1.20.12 and I have probably way to many mods added. I love this mod and have found many wonderful ruins. But i'm having a problem with things that have cloth; banners, beds, pictures, table cloths. They are a white ? block, somethimes. Once a while they are normal, then the next tiime I log in they are the ? again. sometimes the pictures change to 'running wolves' although they keep the proper names, and then they change back.

Do you know of any mod conflict that may cause this?

El_Neuman, Aug 15th 2025 at 5:42 PM

Objectively, one of the best mods for VS, adding a perfectly fitting atmosphere to the game

Stratateles, Aug 14th 2025 at 9:39 PM (modified Aug 14th 2025 at 9:40 PM)

Just wanted to say 11/10 mod, couldn't recommend it more after finding and exploring the University. Literally had my mouth hanging open from the sheer impressiveness.

Speaking of, is there something in that ruin that'd lead to another one? I'm just asking because I didn't find a map or anything like that and I wouldn't like to miss out on more amazing structures!

NiclAss , Aug 14th 2025 at 7:56 PM

ereskyy

Please create a complete bug report preferably on our github.

The Information you share is not relevant to this mod. We do not add anything to the Clutter bookshelfs or change anything related to them.

How is that crash happening? vs version? mod version?

ereskyy, Aug 14th 2025 at 7:17 PM

Vintagestory.GameContent.BlockClutterBookshelfWithLore.genCombinedMesh
→ MeshData.AddMeshData
→ Index was outside the bounds of the array

getting crash all the time with same reason... any help?

NiclAss , Aug 14th 2025 at 5:52 PM

GarnetAnimations

No list currently. Might get added to the wiki tho.
You can find all the blueprints besides one in any ruin.
Dedicated loot pools will be added to the wiki at some point.

NiclAss , Aug 14th 2025 at 5:51 PM

Chicktorias

Yes we only make the vanilla blocks craftable and this is somehow how they are designed in vanilla so you can use something to put in that second spot like make a chiseled block to get a hitbox or put anything else there.

Chicktorias, Aug 14th 2025 at 5:22 PM

Hey i was making a tavern using the craftable tavern tables and noticed that the double table has only 50% collision.

GarnetAnimations, Aug 11th 2025 at 5:20 PM

Is there a list somewhere that shows where to find the different blueprints? Trying to find the shipwright one atm & struggling lol

For vintage story you don't want to unzip any mods just drag and drop the mod file in your Mods folder or one click install them.

Michael08, Aug 11th 2025 at 9:59 AM (modified Aug 11th 2025 at 10:03 AM)

the mod itself oesn't load despite bein the correct version and nothing in the logs...did I install it wrong? my first time, I just dragged what was inside the Zip File into the mod file

something about "Missing modinfo.json", I probably installed it wrong, didn't I?

NiclAss , Aug 10th 2025 at 5:50 PM (modified Aug 10th 2025 at 5:50 PM)

Also check if you have the correct version for your gameversion installed.

NiclAss , Aug 10th 2025 at 5:50 PM

Michael08

What doesnt load? Pls send your server-main.log to see what the problem is.

Michael08, Aug 10th 2025 at 5:36 PM

it won't load for me

NiclAss , Aug 10th 2025 at 4:56 PM

ereskyy

Looks like something went wrong when generating that structures. Maybe the mod got toggled off or some other worldgen changes did happen. Which resulted in a half generated structure.

Go and regenerate the terrain around it with
/wgen delr 3
which will delete and regen the chunks around your player (be aware).

Let me know if that fixed it for you and thanks for reporting.

ereskyy, Aug 10th 2025 at 8:40 AM

Does anyone else have a problem with having a lot of question mark blocks in many ruins?
Or anyone know how to fix it?

Check photo

MiseThePloob

Glad you figured it out. Have fun exploring.

MiseThePloob, Aug 8th 2025 at 10:12 PM

It seems I've somehow resolved it? May have had one of the mods be new experimental versions without realizing or something.
Regardless deleting both mods and going onto files and redownloading the ones intended for 1.20.7 seems to have fixed it. (Playing the game in 1.20.12)

Still odd though since I used the 1-click download on both mods which were both the 1.20.7..
But oh well, thank you so much for being willing to help regardless gonna see about cranking up the spawnrates now to enjoy all the wonderful creations :)

NiclAss , Aug 8th 2025 at 9:18 PM

MiseThePloob

Yes that is the correct one thank you :)

In the log you can see that configlib is throwing an error and thats why its not showing up for you. This results in you not having a config. I can not read the version you are using from the log so pls check both configlib and imgui for updates or if you installed the correct version for your vanilla game version.

From what I can see regarding betterruins you installed the correct version of betterruins for your game version so that is running correctly and the ruins are spawning as intended.

MiseThePloob, Aug 8th 2025 at 9:07 PM

NiclAss
Yes sorry, this is my first real time interacting with the Vintage Story community so I'm sorry if i'm not doing it well. I think this is what you meant?
And thank you for your time as well 😁

MiseThePloob

Please either make a detailed bug report on our github or send your server-main.log so we can see whats going wrong or if everything is installed correctly.

There is no known issue regarding this so pls share more informations.

MiseThePloob, Aug 8th 2025 at 8:41 PM

So this may have already been covered, but I'm 7h into a game with the Better ruins mod on and have not found any ruins except for the smallest cobblestone ones despite going quite far away from spawn.
Trying to look into the config of the mod it seems I don't have the config file in the VintageStoryData>ModConfig folder to view or edit spawn rates and such. Does anyone know of a solution?
1.20.4 - 1.20.12 with configlib and imgui downloaded as well

NiclAss , Aug 6th 2025 at 10:35 PM

EldinDC

On this page you can find a some Links to videos that would help you to either spawn individual structures like Auldburg or increase the chances for that specific one.

kalevosfr

If you think the mod is not working please open a bug report with relevant information on our github or get in contact on discord.
The mod does work and it does spawn structures so either its not installed correctly or not enabled which can be checked with the server-main.log if you share that.
You can also check the handbook for our schematics/blueprints which should tell you that the mod is running correctly.

There are no known issues like you described just fyi.

kalevosfr, Aug 6th 2025 at 4:01 PM

having the same issue as EldinDC having players report seeing no structures at all aswell as i havent seen any myself in about a week of play
Currently using BetterRuins 0.4.15

EldinDC, Aug 1st 2025 at 5:08 AM

I for the life of me cannot find any of the megastructures. Been spending 6 hours a day for 4 weeks trying to find Auldberg (i think thats the name). The big Fortress Castle, I've ran millions of blocks horizontally on so many different strips of the map and have not found it. Found 20 or more of the mega mall ones but 0 of the fortress castle. Had to download a hoarder mod just so i could be a pseudo nomad while trying to find one to base in.

NiclAss , Jul 31st 2025 at 7:41 PM

pixxz

This mod only uses vanilla blocks so that chest is vanilla so its a bug on carry on side.
Did you remove everything from your offhand when trying to remove the chest from your back?

pixxz, Jul 31st 2025 at 8:25 AM (modified Jul 31st 2025 at 10:57 AM)

I picked up a chest in some ruins with the carry on mod and now i can't put it down or change items or anything. I've soft bricked my save?

Edit: i removed the carryon mod and it fixed it.

LordCrimson, Jul 30th 2025 at 6:55 PM

NiclAss

Thank you! i just didnt talk to them enough XD im so stupid thank you!

NiclAss , Jul 30th 2025 at 6:48 PM

LordCrimson

You should get other maps from that trader aswell. Pls make a bugreport if necessary.
read the dialogue if you can get the other mods to work.
Otherwise check the creative menu and then the items tab there search for map

LordCrimson, Jul 30th 2025 at 6:38 PM

how do i spawn in maps or how to find more maps?? i have been trying to find the forlorn tower for ages, i got the crossroads but everytime i try to talk to a trader it only gives me that map

NiclAss , Jul 29th 2025 at 6:19 PM

Bannta

Thanks for the nice suggestion but this is out of the scope of this mod.
Both structures and temporal instability are currently completely individual systems and I dont plan to introduce this in this mod. Maybe another modder will find interest in such thing then we can look at making this mod compatible.

Bannta, Jul 28th 2025 at 5:49 PM

I have been enjoying this mod, well done. I wonder if maybe you could have a configuration setting to make the area where these ruins spawn have temporal instability. I believe it would add to the lore of why these structures are ruins and abandoned.

Regards,

NiclAss , Jul 26th 2025 at 6:55 PM

All good glad to get it resolved.

ChiefKief69, Jul 26th 2025 at 6:49 PM

NiclAss Sorry for wasting your time, the server provider I have is creeper and it automatically downloads the most recent files I'll be more diligent in the future.

NiclAss , Jul 26th 2025 at 6:44 PM

A Culinary Artillery 1.2.5

Yes, pls dont auto update mods.
But the mod has something in place that doesnt load the mod if its installed on lets say a non supported version like if you install a version for 1.21 on your 1.20 server it will not run the mod.
Should be posted in server-main.log

ChiefKief69, Jul 26th 2025 at 6:35 PM

I think I just figured it out, could it be because my server auto downloaded the 1.21.r version?

Yeah seems like you uninstalled betterruins? Or what did you do to result in this? can you make a detailed bug report with vanilla version, modversion, modlist and server-main.log

Does this mean these structures will not spawn?

Asmodus, Jul 26th 2025 at 5:40 PM

Got a pretty reliable reproducer for the bug report so hopefully they'll be able to fix it

Asmodus, Jul 26th 2025 at 4:54 PM

Woops, sorry about that then, I had assumed that the grid recipe stuff and the blocks were connected somehow, didn't even cross my mind that it was a vanilla bug. Thanks :)

NiclAss , Jul 26th 2025 at 4:49 PM

Asmodus

That is actually a vanilla ruin so pls report it to their github issue tracker :P

https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory

-Issues/issues

Its a rare bug that happens in the village structures worldgen it can happen to any of those structures sadly but I think they dont know how to fix it bcs its too random to reproduce...

But thanks for the screenshot.

I have reported this and similar stuff already a couple of times they are still not resolved. But its also not a big issue tbh.

Asmodus, Jul 26th 2025 at 4:46 PM

https://imgur.com/a/R22Xgxb

I would assume it's supposed to be a vessel?

NiclAss , Jul 26th 2025 at 4:28 PM

Asmodus

Thanks for the report the "?" blocks I can not reproduce or confirm pls send images of them.

For the recipes I fixed that in the dev version already which will fix it with the next release for rc1 currently betterruins doesnt "support" rc1 but besides the recipe erros and warnings everything else should work.

Asmodus, Jul 26th 2025 at 4:21 PM

With both this mod and better traders I'm running into a few "?" blocks in some of the ruins in fresh 1.21 rc1 worlds.

Also on loading some of the grid recipes can't be resolved so there's some error messages in the logs:
26.7.2025 09:18:22 [Warning] Failed resolving crafting recipe ingredient with code game:woodenpath-ns in Grid recipe
26.7.2025 09:18:22 [Error] Grid Recipe 'betterruins:recipes/grid/schematic-road/road1.json': Output Block code game:woodenpath-ns cannot be resolved

26.7.2025 09:18:22 [Error] Grid Recipe 'betterruins:recipes/grid/schematic-stone/stone.json': Output Block code game:agedstonebricks-coral cannot be resolved

Thanks for your work on these mods

NiclAss , Jul 26th 2025 at 10:28 AM

JeBidouille

I have tested a bit on 1.21 on a 320 world.
Could not spot any issues so far if you come across something weird again pls let me know and send some screenshots pls. Ty

NiclAss , Jul 26th 2025 at 10:23 AM

FentonCheese

Yes config lib and imgui makes the config work in the first place.

FentonCheese, Jul 26th 2025 at 9:59 AM

Do i need to keep config lib installed to use my editied better ruins config?

JeBidouille, Jul 25th 2025 at 2:12 PM

NiclAss

No i restart a new world , i lower it a bit to the value you have mention and now i did not encounter any bug with structure .
For the structures that where bug above 320 blocks in my game where the huge underground bibliothec and one of the castle that spawn in tropical place , i did not have any screenshot sorry i delete the world and start new to find a good seed .
i do not play with any other structure mods , i'm only using BetterRuins
Thanks for the quick reply !

NiclAss , Jul 25th 2025 at 1:47 PM

JeBidouille

Did you increase the worldheight on a current save? I hope not.
For world creation you can easily play on 320 blocks should not be any problem. can you send some images of the issue ruins maybe I can pinpoint it. Are you maybe running th3dugeon aswell?
Images recommended on discord or github or here :P ty

JeBidouille, Jul 25th 2025 at 12:29 PM

Hello , i'm playing with this incredible mod for a long time now , but i have started a new world and after a few try to know what the problem i have still no clue .
I have change the world heigth to increase it so i can get bigger mountains , but now most of the structure i found are half inside and outside the ground , i see in the FAQ that if you lower the world height it will spawn more of them but i did not see something about increasing it , if someone know how to fix that issue i would appreciate it :)
And as always best mod out there !
PS i increased the world heigth to 320 blocks

IratePrimate, Jul 23rd 2025 at 5:48 PM

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not seeing any indication that it's running. I'll send the .log file when I get home.

NiclAss , Jul 23rd 2025 at 5:34 PM

IratePrimate

If you did like you explained thats how it works yes.
If it doesnt pls send your server-main.log to check if the mod is loaded.
On github or discord pls

IratePrimate, Jul 23rd 2025 at 5:17 PM

Stupid question. How do I use this mod? I dropped the .zip into my mods folder as well as the .zip pfor configlib and imguilib. I verified that they are in my mods list in game. I booted up a new world for my server. I do not see the the betterruins yaml file in my modconfig folder. I also do not see the mods settings option when I hit escape in game.

NiclAss , Jul 16th 2025 at 11:05 AM

bcde

Could you with the knowledge you gathered from this now create a new or reopen the mentioned vanilla bug reports?

I will also try to replicate this with trying multiple vanilla worlds. To make a video of it.

bcde, Jul 16th 2025 at 1:07 AM

NiclAss Sorry I don't want to make a new github or youtube for this. I noticed reproduction is not 100% of the time and occurs while scrolling/hovering nowhere near that bookshelf in question for me. I'll scroll to the bottom and then back up a bit and kind of randomly for 30-60s to see if a crash will occur before creating a new world and trying again.

This log took me 4 worlds created, default settings, with only betterruins installed before I got one that crashed: https://hastebin.com/share/favabujima.txt

Retrying on the same world, it took me 11 save&exits to reproduce.

Retrying on the same world with BetterRuins disabled, it reproduced after 8 tries.

Haha, well, I guess that last bit indicates it's not BR at all but just vanilla! Whoops!

NiclAss , Jul 15th 2025 at 5:51 PM

bcde

I can not replicate this. Also there would be no reason for this issue to come up bit since this mod doesnt add anything or change anything regarding that block the clutter bookshelf.
Yes it adds new lore but that should not conflict with that.

I scrolled to the creative inventory multiple times and also highlighted the bookshelfs specifically.

Can you make a video how you do it and then send your server main log aswell. preverably on our github.

I believe the lore additions from this mod cause a crash on v1.20.12 (Stable) - and probably going back way further!

As others reported here here:

https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/5999

https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/6241

https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/3430

Reproduction is straightforward, enter creative and scroll the item list in your `e` menu by hand until you crash. Somewhere near the bottom 3/4ths you'll cause the lore bookshelf to try to render, and crash with the below stacktrace.

Mhh ok glad its resolved.

NiclAss , Jul 13th 2025 at 6:56 PM

ASILiara

For now this mod will not try to add any new blocks to the game. Its out of the scope of the mod but could easily added by another mod yes. Maybe this is your way of getting into modding :P

But yeah good idea.

Deadman357, Jul 12th 2025 at 2:10 AM

It seems to of righted itself when I restarted computer, it was stuck in that loading screen for ages earlier just got back from work

Deadman357, Jul 11th 2025 at 11:43 PM

Sorry I literally just brought the game, it literally is just stuck on creating new world, it just keeps repeating the starting stuff when creating world, what do you want me to show, this was the first and only mod and mod related thing I've downloaded for this game, the game isn't crashing, my computer takes like 30 seconds to create a new world and load, I left it on for 10 minutes and it was still in the loading screen, so what do I need to show, sorry new to this

ASILiara, Jul 11th 2025 at 11:03 PM

NiclAss, yes, hence why I said a variant, as in a new block that shares models and textures with the old one, but opens like normal.

NiclAss , Jul 11th 2025 at 10:46 PM

Deadman789

this mod is running on over 900 puplic servers and on a lot of single player worlds correctly so pls make a detailed bug report with all the necessary informations to debug your specific use case. We have a issue tracker on our GitHub which will ask you for all the relevant informations.

Deadman357, Jul 11th 2025 at 10:34 PM

game is stuck on world creation with only this mod enabled please help

NiclAss , Jul 11th 2025 at 7:33 PM

JACO1989

You can configure a lot with the conifg mods which gives you either a UI or you use the generated configfile and then disable the spawn chances to 0 for all the megastructures. Story structures will still generate in your world tho.

JACO1989, Jul 11th 2025 at 7:05 PM

Hello, I would like to apologize to all those who worked hard on the mod.

I have a question if I delete the folder given below:

BetterRuinsv0.5.0-pre.2\assets\game\worldgen\schematics\overground\megastructures

so they won't appear much construction anymore? Is there anything else that needs to be done?

I don't want huge construction projects to be generated in the world, I'm more of a minimalist and it would be a bit overwhelming for me.

Regards.

NiclAss , Jul 11th 2025 at 2:08 PM

ASILiara

No they are vanilla blocks and they are also used for the resonance archive which means they are not allowed to be opened.

NiclAss , Jul 11th 2025 at 2:07 PM

Kayk_P

There is a lore toggle which will remove 99% of the lore books from this mod which are being dropped in loot. So this might be the thing you want to untoggle.

Sabio, Jul 11th 2025 at 1:31 PM

Would there be a way to deactivate the lore from your mod, but keep the structures?

ASILiara, Jul 9th 2025 at 12:56 AM

Any hope of getting functional variants of the rusty doors that can be opened by hand, crafted with the blueprints you add? I'd really like to actually be able to use those big-ass metal doors.

Kaschperle, Jun 30th 2025 at 1:19 PM

NiclAss , Jun 30th 2025 at 9:31 AM

Please use the latest version for 1.20.12 which is version v0.4.15

It contains the same fixes as the version for 1.21.

Mors, Jun 30th 2025 at 7:29 AM

Kaschperle I just tried, it won't let you select the mod as it required 1.21.0-Pre.1 to load sadly and i wasn't game enough to modify that and run it in my world as i don't know what other changes might have been made that could mess things up in 1.20.12.

NiclAss is it safe to run 0.5.0-pre2 it in 1.20.12?

Kaschperle, Jun 29th 2025 at 10:23 PM

could i use the pre 1.21 compatablity patch of vintage engineerin on the latest 1.20.12 version?

NiclAss , Jun 29th 2025 at 8:26 PM

TaxMage

Yeah I already got a fix for that in the dev version which I just now release but thank you very much for the report! Let me know if that fixed it for you. Btw the error or warning was nothing big so you could have just ignored it :D but better safe than sorry :P

TaxMage, Jun 29th 2025 at 6:02 PM

NiclAss I just started playing the game (and am starting to add mods after a few hours) and noticed the same bug/warning as Scorives below. On my end, it seems to be the Vintage Engineering Mod: https://mods.vintagestory.at/vintageengineering. Loading with a number of other mods caused no issue. As soon as I add Vintage Engineering, the error pops up regarding the ironfence.json handbook issue. Wanted to mention it here in case that might be helpful. For now, I'll leave out Vintage Engineering (as I haven't gotten further than surviving a week anyway).

The vanilla worldgen behavoir likes to spawn them in flat areas im not doing anything specific to make that intentionally in any special way.

TheVerto, Jun 28th 2025 at 8:55 PM

hey, how did you make it so structures only spawn on flat terrain? I'm trying to make a structure mod myself but they often spawn halfway in a hill or levitate on top of a hill

NiclAss , Jun 26th 2025 at 9:06 PM

Nilek20

I think I have tracked down the mod that is causing this and I have added a compatibility patch for the next update.
Its swordz. For now you can ignore those errors and warnings.

I will prob push a quick update for swordz and another mod regarding compatibility.

Thanks for letting me know about it.

Dolador, Jun 26th 2025 at 6:35 PM

I added this mod, and Ancient Ruins, and BetterTraders on a save I already have, but it appears nothing changes on newly generated chunks. I spent about 20 IRL hours exploring new areas to only find the same old ruins every time, no procedurally added non vanilla dungeons, and the traders are all vanilla.

NiclAss , Jun 25th 2025 at 7:11 PM

Nilek20

Looks like incompatibilty for those recipes with another mod that adds new metals.

None of the posted warnings and errors will crash your server tho.

Pls make a complete bugreport on our github or discord.

Nilek20, Jun 25th 2025 at 7:06 PM

Better ruins 0.4.14 seems to be crashing my server. I can log in for about 60 seconds before the server kicks me and the error message gets thrown up in the console.

Taeo, Jun 24th 2025 at 4:37 AM

I don't mind inventory spam myself, if I broke a chiseled block I don't actually want I can always get rid of it.

But on our server we literally tore apart the entire statue room in the forlorn bastion block by block and moved it to our town, as well as all kinds of ruins and things. You never know when someone is going to want a particular chiseled block, and not knowing if you'll get it when you break it is scary!

dakko, Jun 22nd 2025 at 9:35 PM

Oh! Thank you so much for the explanation. I think I've got it now, woo hoo! :D

NiclAss , Jun 22nd 2025 at 9:14 PM

dakko

Yeah you could also export your current one in your world and move it with worldedit over to your new save.

If you use the file from the mod and import than with worldedit you will have it in granite only tho. Be sure to check if it generated nicely with toggeling the meta blocks in creative press Ctrl+F4 you dont want to see any bcs if you do I think you need to reimport it with /we rm toggled to the different value xd

There are commands to spawn structure similar to worldgen but manually which would give you the local stone type.

So yeah mutliple ways of doing it.

dakko, Jun 22nd 2025 at 7:37 PM

That's the one!!! Thank you so much -- you've made my day!

I play with patchy climate, which sometimes produces deserts close to spawn.

Do I understand correctly that using the export feature in Worldedit allows me to copy the one I have (which is built with shale), whereas manual spawn will use whatever native stone exists at the new build site? (eta: or maybe I've misunderstood what you meant, and worldedit allows me to use the filename instead -- currently watching instructional videos to learn about worldedit)

Thank you again!

NiclAss , Jun 22nd 2025 at 5:01 PM

dakko

You mean this one?

If so thats a desert ruin so prob will not spawn close to spawn :D

You can prob spawn it in yourself its called

desertclimate-o2-stadrian-deserthouse2.json

in the mod files if you want to import it with worldedit or the manual spawn command.

NiclAss , Jun 22nd 2025 at 4:52 PM

Sounds like a mod incompatibility. Please make a detailed bug report, including your mod list and the vanilla game version - preferably on our GitHub. Thank you very much.

Seems like the error was occuring due to an incorrectly uploaded file. Did a clean upload of the unzipped BetterRuins mod file and the error has gone.

Thanks for all your help

dakko, Jun 20th 2025 at 7:46 AM

Can anyone please help me find the name of a particular ruin?

It is a sweet little cottage, fully furnished and in good repair, with exterior cobblestone stairs leading up to a flat roof topped with fireclay. There is a child's toy (like a stick horse) lying in front of a little headstone on the back side of the house. There is a wagon wheel on the outer wall at the front of the house.

Much to my delight, I found it on my first night in a new world. I'll be starting fresh when 1.21 is more stable and would dearly love to spawn it in manually.

NiclAss , Jun 19th 2025 at 7:19 PM

Taeo

Not customizable
It should only be applied to ruined chiseled blocks so some of the chiseled decorations which are intact will still drop.
Its just way less inventory spam and its the same way vanilla does it.
But thanks for the feedback def looking for it since its quite a new and bigger change.

Taeo, Jun 19th 2025 at 6:38 AM

It seems from the patchnotes that the issue I've been having lately where chiseled blocks I try to retrieve from ruins just disappear is actually intended? Why? Can I turn that off?

Exmortis, Jun 19th 2025 at 5:20 AM

I'll pull everything out and run a clean server with just BetterRuins and then add things one by one till I figure out whats triggering the error. Will see if I can find out the specific cause, otherwise will at least let you know which mod it's not playing nice with
Thanks again!

Exmortis

I will say I dont recommend to run the mod with those Server Errors. Try to figure out what is going on with your server instance and why this is happening to you. the mod is runnning on 900+ puplic servers so it seems like a very specific issue that only you run into.

Smoke03, Jun 16th 2025 at 1:04 AM

Hello, I seem to be having a bug where certain structures regardless of type that make use to biome specific rocks like claystone rubble for example are missing their textures, is this a mod conflict problem with terra pretty or something else?

I am assuming it's a mod conflict, I have quite a few on the server, but haven't been able to figure out what it's relating to.

After a bunch of testing it doesn't seem to be negatively impacting the game. Ruins are still spawning and everything looks good.

Thanks for your help!

I have people see having problems with unzipping it. But it was on some server providers interface bcs they couldnt unzip it correctly. No idea why its normal windows zip.

Try to unzip the mod yourself and delete the zipped one in the mods folder.

You can also upload the mod unzipped so you unzip it on your pc and then upload it.

I've running into an error with a dedicated server I'm trying to setup with BetterRuins.

Specifically

16.6.2025 00:57:25 [Server Error] [betterruins] An exception was thrown when trying to extract the mod archive to 'Data\Cache\unpack\BetterRuinsv0.4.13.zip_0e8842170a4e':

NiclAss , Jun 14th 2025 at 9:41 PM

M4sonnn

They start spawning a bit further away from spawn. So at least 3k blocks out and they prefer flat terrain. You can play around with the config if you installl the mods configlib and imgui to get certain stuff to spawn more reliable. bcs on default the structure pool even for larger structure is quite big so its very lucky to get the exact strcuture you expect.

BriarBlack, Jun 14th 2025 at 6:15 AM

The new riveted blocks are awesome! Thank you so much for adding them!

M4sonnn, Jun 14th 2025 at 1:06 AM

how rare are these giant castle ruins like in the trailer? been flying around in creative to make sure the mod works for like 30 mins and I haven't found a single one. I know its noted as compatible, but the only other mod I have that would effect terrain generation is terraprety.

I need to you to make a detailed bugreport and a way how to reproduce this. Preferably on github.

The desolation stuff are also just blocks which are being imported in the same way in vanilla so this should not be related to them. And if so you would be the first that this happend to in like 1 year and like I said a lot of usage.

Looking forward to further input so I can take a look at this tyvm

Thanks Gemini xD :

Title: [BUG REPORT] Cross-Mod Crash: NullReferenceException at BlockGroundStorage.cs:line 388

The Issue: We are experiencing a persistent, game-breaking crash. Approaching a specific location (a "Better Ruins" structure in our case) causes an instant client-side crash for all players on the server. This creates a permanent "no-go zone" in the world.

The Cause & Evidence: The crash is always a NullReferenceException at Vintagestory.GameContent.BlockGroundStorage.GetPlacedBlockInteractionHelp on line 388.

This is not an isolated issue. We have found multiple, identical crash logs from different players with different mod lists. The pattern is always the same, pointing to that exact line. The issue seems to be triggered by mods that interact with ground piles, such as Better Ruins, More Piles, and DanaTweaks.

Our conclusion is that a mod is creating a corrupted BlockGroundStorage entity (a "poison" pile) in the world save. When the game tries to read this corrupted pile to display its interaction help, it crashes.

The Workaround: The only way we could fix our save was to manually delete the region file containing the corrupted pile from the save folder. This forced the game to regenerate the chunk, which removed the issue.

We hope this information helps in tracking down the interaction that leads to this block corruption.

Reference Crash Log (crashing with vanilla code after "DanaTweaks" was removed):

Yeah it looks like beehives dont work from structures placed with worldgen. I will have to make a detailed bug report to vanilla and maybe they will fix that but its not garantueed so I might also just remove them from the structures.

Uninstall More Piles Mod then this wont happen. They are looking on a fix atm.

So we had a server crash as I got close to the university. We were puzzled as to why it refrenced the Desolation. Going to the bottom of the main tower I saw it. You used the Desolation ground tiles in the build. Those can cause problems if generated after world start. Trying to regenerate the Desolation causes a similar crash. It doesn't corrupt the chunks and works fine(?) after that thankfully, but still not good to have a ruin crash the server.

I found a ruin which has 2 beehives but no matter how many flowers i plant there or how long i wait, their state doesn't change. (number of flowers/size)

Do hives wich where spawned by the ruins behave differently from hives generated by the game?

Apologies for my addition of a semi-long crash log in comments, but with this I'm pretty stumped. My only clue is we get this crash log upon stepping maybe 3-5 blocks into (funnily enough) the structure in the second screenshot under Features with the glass domes. I am planning to update the server to 1.20.12 (along with a number of outdated mods from that list) in a few weeks for my server, but if anyone has any clues as to what causes an instant clientside crash? I can at least confirm this isn't the softlock I thought it was; teleport commands done from the server command line in that short gap of time when you join but haven't totally loaded in to anywhere else prevent the crash. But knowing that I'm willing to play footsies with the structure to see if there's any specific crash radius or use like the Spyglass mod to try to look at certain areas in creative mode.

Working on something like that atm. Ty for the suggestion.

Just wanted to say thank you! I just added this to a new world for 1.20 and it's so much fun exploring and playing a more scavenger/excavator playthrough. Bless ya x

If its generating structures the blueprints will work aswell. They are just quite rare. :D

I would be more interested in what ruin you found that so I can try to replicate it.

/wgen pos structures

while standing inside it or an image would do tyvm
