The Remnants is a Vintage Story mod by MrFistycuffs. The Remnants expands Vintage Story’s class system with ten specialized roles, unique crafts, starting gear, and class-focused gameplay for solo and multiplayer worlds.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose this mod if the base classes feel too broad or you want clearer roles in a settlement. It is especially useful for multiplayer groups that need dedicated farmers, miners, defenders, scouts, and crafters.
What The Remnants adds
The Remnants reshapes the class system around practical community roles. The Serf improves farming and animal harvesting, the Ironmonger supports mining and industry, and the Woodsman specializes in forestry and gathering. Each role begins with equipment that reinforces its intended playstyle.
Combat and exploration receive their own focused options. The Hedge Knight is built for defense, the Blackguard for heavy damage, the Yeoman for ranged support, and the Wanderer for extended trips away from settlements. Their recipes and balance changes make these choices more distinct.
Other classes cover supplies and workshop work: the Malefactor gathers loot from ruins and the wilderness, the Gearsmith handles technical processing, and the Guildsman provides safer general crafting utility. The mod also adds class-specific recipes, bow adjustments, and experience modifiers for compatible skill systems.
