Game is “Vintage Story”. It’s similar to Minecraft, but slower paced.
Nice to see it on lemmy. I really like this game, feels like the Primitive Technology videogame.
Edit: I should point out that this game also has amazing mod support and there are good mods for it. If you like modding minecraft you will like this game, I’m almost certain.

what makes it slower paced than minecraft. I thought minecraft was pretty slow
In minecraft, if you wanna mine some iron, you punch a tree, use the wood to slap out a wooden pickaxe, grab some stone with it, then make a stone pickaxe, and you can mine it.
In vintage story you can’t mine rock until you have a pickaxe, the lowest level of which is copper. You have to knap stone tools from rocks you find on the ground, and you can’t make wood into planks until you have a saw (also needs metal). To get started with metalworking you have to explore and find copper bits sitting on the ground untill you have a lot, make crucibles and molds out of clay and fire them in a pit kiln, burn wood into charcoal in a pit (because wood doesn’t burn hot enough to melt copper), and then you can melt and pour your copper into a mold. Do that with a pickaxe head mold, put it on a stick, and now you can mine stone. Then go find some more metals and do that some more because to mine iron you actually need a bronze pickaxe.
Would you recommend vintage craft?
I love Minecraft but I’ve been on a Factorio grind lately, but open to trying this if worth it.

Hi! I don’t know what this means.
They are probably referencing the harcdcore mod series gregrech which makes you do stuff like this too
sounds like the old terrafirmacraft mod
It started life as a minecraft mod called vintagecraft. I believe you could say terrafirmacraft was one of it’s inspirations. They made this a standalone game when they got frustrated with minecraft’s limitations.
Minecraft when you can get full diamond enchanted stuff in 2 seconds because of caves and villagers.
