Necessaries is a Vintage Story mod by ZigTheHedge. Necessaries is a Vintage Story tweaks collection adding mailboxes, parcel delivery, trash disposal, damaging spikes, leaf cutters, and tool sharpening.
Why this mod is worth installing
It suits players who want more practical base infrastructure and small survival conveniences without changing the core progression. Server communities can use mailboxes to exchange supplies between separate homes.
What Necessaries adds
Necessaries adds a player-to-player delivery system built around mailboxes and parcels. Each player can set up an address, prepare a parcel with requested items, select the recipient, and include a short note. This gives multiplayer settlements a simple way to move supplies without meeting in person.
A dedicated disposal option handles unwanted items, while retaining the last few objects long enough to recover them if they were discarded accidentally. Rusty spikes provide a defensive hazard that damages characters who land on them, making them useful around exposed drops or restricted areas.
The Branch Cutter is designed for collecting leaves when building hedges and similar landscaping. It comes in copper, three bronze variants, and iron, giving the tool a progression that follows available metals.
Tool maintenance is expanded with a Grindstone Assembly and grindstone. After preparing glue for the proper setup, players can restore worn instruments by turning the handle and sharpening them.
