Vintage Story Wiki

Books

70 readable books, journals and notes, with their full in-game text. Each one belongs to a lore section (filter by "Category" to see one section's books) and the "Structures" column counts the world structures whose schematics contain it. Tapestry and wallcarving chapters aren't books -- they live under Lore.

Source: config/lore/*.json (title/text are lang-key references), located via worldgen schematics. Full details →
