Salty´s Bark Beetle is a Vintage Story mod by SaltyWater. Salty’s Bark Beetle adds a natural audio clue for locating resin in the wild: listen for bark beetles near affected trees.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want to find resin through observation and sound instead of bright visual markers or artificial highlights.
What Salty´s Bark Beetle adds
The mod introduces a bark beetle sound associated with resin-bearing trees. When exploring forests, players can use this audio signal to narrow down the location of resin rather than relying on an obvious glow.
Its design follows the survival logic of the base game: resin remains something discovered in the environment, while the sound rewards careful listening and investigation. The result is a subtle quality-of-life aid that preserves immersion.
