i do like that different weapons come in more useful for different situations, so i'm okay with it not being an all-in-one
Interesting
Although it seems only the sledge is situational
I can't think of any other
A lot of people swear by the spear
spear is dope, but it can't be used for everything
Ah right
4 of the bosses in the game only resist pierce for physical damage, so you get your damage halved by using a spear in those cases
Does it? π
I didnβt remember staggering things I hit
Iβm gonna have to go hit stuff π€£
It has a stagger multiplier, not guaranteed stagger (only parrying can do this). You need to do less damage to stagger something, but stronger enemies wonβt be staggered in one hit.
Precisely.
With 145, and twice of it as stagger, only the strongest enemies can't be staggered, but that's to be expected.
It also does it in a very wide aoe
are spears and atgeirs worth getting into? ive never used either....
Atgeirs yes, spears more or less
what are atgeirs useful for? is it like an aoe sweep thing?
The secondary attack has 6x staggering and no multi-target penalty.
How was the mistlands changed before release? I really liked the map
Doesn't seem that significant reading the notes
Seeker AI, and blimps were gimped
The seekers used to come straight at you, in 2s and 3s.
Now they circle around like fulings
Blimps used to spit 3 fireballs, now only 2
any1 know any fun valheim youtubers that do long very hard playthroughs?
not really, you can look in #self-promotion if you find something tho π
I would say spear is so effective, it quickly becomes boring. It attacks so fast you can give zero care about resistances. Also there is a new spear in almost every biome. Used it up to mistlands in multiple runs.
tho the hit box of it is funky π
Atgeirs are pretty much S tier until Ashlands tbh.
oh is it a melee? i thought it was something you throw
Not holding it above my head 100% of the time when?
melee + you can throw it
Spear holding + animation is the sole reason I cannot use them.
Also winner of Valheim speedrun challenge used spear and threw it, saying that he prefers it over bow
but u also gotta go pick it up after you throw it right?
yep
right
isnt that a pain in the ass
For me it isπSo I don't throw it
I thing the issue is bow needs 40+ skill to become really good. And there is no time to level it up on speedrun
ohhhh icic
bows are super easy to grind though if you made a trainer for it
best way to do it is to place an elevated platform high above bonemass, and shoot low stamina arrows at him
atgeirs are really good up until ashlands
with low stamina it shoots directly down to bonemass, and since bows xp is depending on the amount that you hit
yeah thats a strat we use lol. unfortunately my character is really really fond of dying....
No platform needed π€·ββοΈ
oh yeah you deffo use that, but the way for me to do it is to place a high platform so you can shoot faster
since you don't realy need to aim
just to clarify, xp is based on how many hits you get in, and not damage right
mhm
so crude arrows + wood arrows is the best, just keep shooting while on top of him
Which is why when leveling you want the lowest grade thing.
once he's lowhealth you just, leave and do something else until he regens
or if you did do swamp, you should have enough bones to just do bonemass again
is it even possible to kill bonemass with just arrows?
yes
I mean, just kill. You get hundreds of withered bones really easily, so resummon is faster/not an issue.
maybe after like 500 arrows
mmm icic
also, fun fact
having rested buff increases xp gain by 50%
so you deffo want rested buff if you're doing trainers for xp
oooo okok makes sense
are there like, general guidelines for what level you should be at when u enter specifc biomes
not really, levels are just neat bonuses
obviously it matters a lot, but it's not a benchmark
Skill levels are truly just bonuses, yeah. They game isn't balanced around you having skills of any amount.
I'll be honest I disagree, but only in ashlands
because ashlands is mostly a dps race
No skill needed. Only Demolisher. π
when can we expect ashlands repair after or before the deep north
Repair?
Repair? It's not broken.
Also everything will be "before Deep North" given we don't know if development on that biome has even started beyond concept phase.
But I see the durability at very low values
No one knows but I would prefer it's another creature instead of reskinned troll number 2
Aiming too low.
Drakestav π
Settle down, y'all
Run!
The cats back!
The one person who can out-sheet me π has spoken.
Oh god
Why is your profile background light mode
I have never touched my profile on Discord, so it is whatever default is π€·ββοΈ
is your discord in lightmode? (like a monster?)
Well clicking on your pfp here in the chat just brings up 1 big white page
No.
Guessing default tries to match whatever the pfp is.
Sevrahn ive never seen anyone with a discord made after 2020 gahdamn is this an alt or smthn?
Likely since your pfp is very white
But are you perhaps discord prem user?
- You need to meet more people. π
- Original got hacked a couple years ago.
I have nitro π€·ββοΈ
Uh was about to say the same as sevrahn lol
Just saw another dude what made the account is 21
Nawhh i only really use discord to text irls LMAO. I dont really like talking in big servers but yall seem nice
I also think alt accounts are stupid on multiple levels. So I would never and will never have one.
Explains more since i dont have nitro and my background is discord dark mode apart from the banner
Texting people you know IRL?
Uh... there is actual texting for that....
I have an alt acc!! Its so i can stream goodnotes on my ipad when im doing homework LMFAO
honestly tho? I've used discord instead of texting people many times before too, lol
Made a alt once to screw with a server that had become arrogant selfish and toxic
Me thinking this is a story about a restaurant waiter you disliked...
That makes no sense π
Discords just better. Its my fav messaging platform
There is no "better" for texting.
You either delivered the letters in the proper order, or you did not.
Its about a certain mod that banned me with no warnings after being a mod for a week with out having a single message to his name before becomming a mod
For texting i use WhatsApp
Everyone has it
And easily syncs with numbers already in your phone
not everyone
i would disagree with that EVERYONE has it π i know quite a lot of people who dont use it
Maybe i shouldve said
Everyone i personally know has WhatsApp
But just... text people's actual phone numbers. It isn't rocket surgery π
For texting and texting only, whatsapp is really good. But discord has EVERYTHING, like video/voice, and a super customizeable servers and stuff. I really like that
A sms/text message costs money
Since the crap when?
there are some practical reasons to use it -- its easy to reference earlier plans, message multiple people at once, contact other people as well who you might not have their number
Unlimited texting has been standard in phone plans for like... a decade.
since always, at least in my country
depends on your tarif and stuff tho
If your not on contract here each sms cost like a dollar or so
??? Yeah it def costs money across OSs. Like i think i can message other iphone users using internet, but if i wanted to message an android user it would cost money
and without internet? π
Am I the odd one out because I'm on contract?
no, I'm on a contract too -- unlimited texting/data
I honestly dont know i always have my data on π and i rarely ever use messages
On contract here we get like 200 or depending on contract level free sms's
Pay per month = unlimited text, unlimited call, unlimited internet.
without use of internet it usually costs money π
Deep North bringing wifi to Valheim. Just wait.
You can send texts through portals.
Ok, I genuinely hate that we cannot rename portals and walk through before they update anymore.
Ive never done portal renames like that before
I usually just use my set i carry around and use them to rename
It WAS cheese. Useful cheese, but cheese all the same.
Do you have a "portal room" with many portals all linked out?
I have an alt for server setup from before they added the options to view as role to the options.
No, just 6 or so portals standing around the base closest to where i need them
That's 4 more than I will ever have in 1 location.
Base has 1 main portal that I just rename to connect to all outlying portals and 1 "ohshit" portal for emergencies when out exploring.
... I never thought of an Oh Shit portal
I keep my mobile set un named for when im.out exploring
Its a quick place down and jump through
I always know what my objective is for the day. So I rename my main one to what I plan to name the next one before I head out.
Currently options are:
Stones
Elder
Bonemass
Moder
Yagluth
Queen
NewHome
ForestIsle
Trader
Ashlanding
Ashlanding will most likely be destroyed when Fader portal is added to the list.
NewHome will be removed when I finish moving π
What i do is take my un named portal with me
And just place it down where ever i need it
No need to remeber any names
I may un-name the ohshit portal. But it's too novel at this point π
They can be quite handy
And yeah, that's the one I'll leave blank. Cause you don't have time to muck around typing when you need to GTFO ASAP
See, I would name it GTFOASAP π
One for stones, but not iron or coal?
Stones is the Stones.
Oh, that one I just have as start
I've also got farm and mistfarm, cause my main base is on a tiny mountain near the coast surrounded by meadows and forest
MistShroom, when I get to it.
Last one I had set up had a... Gjall incident...
My next playthrough will have my main base on the border of the mistlands tho. Just to keep the number of endpoints down
I love the aesthetics of my mountain tower, but the practicality is a bit lacking with all the verticality
shieldcore in mistland farm :smart:
@lean fable If there are any instances of what you described earlier in this server, do please report them via modmail with evidence. Purposefully offensive profiles are absolutely grounds for mod intervention.
Thank you and I will message modmail.
The board came they announced, do you get the board, and then the rest of the bits 2 years later?
I'd imagine if it gets funded you'll get the game in one piece.
I always wanted a Valheim-themed paper weight π
I don't know why I keep doing that. My sense of humour is diametrically opposed to @marsh sentinel's.
Why would it?
I would not say only DerekΒ΄s π
No doubt. I'm ok with that.
I'm assuming it's a dumb joke about early access and slow development.
Oh! I get it. Nope, that one is on me.
It was more or less a rethorical question as I assumed that was the reason...
To which I would've answered that "lack of reading" must be the indirect cause of death for many people considering it's very explicitly stated in that announcement that IG (you know, videogame developers) are not the ones making the board game
what is the be st weapon in ashlands?
Vine staff probably
Doesn't use stamina, can be used as obstacles, snares enemies and sustained damage
Oh and poisons
The cheesier the better
what about normal weapons
lightning 1h sword for aoe, blood slayer for single target damage, and poison spear for asksvins
I also highly recommend the lightning berzerkir axes
Poison spear. Thats a pretty good idea for getting the immobilize proc from a distance. Just have to make sure you dont throw the spear into the lava
spear is generally good for getting the effects since it has high attack speed π
I usually use a nidhogg or a 2nd set of berzerkir axes. Main set is always lightning
Ill have to make the spear and do some testing
when i was plaing ashlands i used only Nidhogg the Thundering, meaning as a weapon carried with me, i did some fighting with the others too but i dont really see a point in bringing more weapons with me
If you want ranged rooting just go for nature ripper/ash fang
Tell that to the people that apparently think they need to have every single flametal weapon's version in their inventory for some reason...
And use it as an argument for "gems too low"
i am pretty sure those are the same people complaining about how "we need more inventory slots" π
Also the exact same that have 2-4 completely unnecessary things in their inventories
hey! thats me too XD tho i am fine with current inventory size
dont look at me like that, cultivator is a must π
we need more inv slots
indeed, it's pretty easy to avoid losing your spear if you jump and throw downward, little tip
it'd be nice to have one more row of inventory space, even if it's possible to do without. but since it's bound to a character, we can't really do any sort of "character option" modifier like they can with world modifiers. i think at the end of the day it's just a personal opinion.
that's not a complaint at all, it's just something i've thought about through all the times i've played through the game.
yes, it would make things certainly easier, but its not really a "need" π
define "need," though. i'd say we "need" to resolve the networking issues in the game; i'd say we "need" to resolve the issue with player-based raids, but those are only needs from one perspective; at the end of the day, those "needs" are all opinions, it's just been constructed this way so far.
ideas and complaints are important, at the end of the day somebody will make a decision based on those
What networking issues? Game works flawlessly with a good connection.
oh give me a break, please go play the game with more than 5 people, and have one of those people in the group not maintain a flawless connection. That's the issue with the game, it doesn't have the ability to deal with one person's issues without affecting the group.
I play regularly with 7, thanks.
you're delusional, my friend. it's clear to anybody who plays this game with others how much network lag there is, and it happens even when you're a few hundred miles apart or less. it's not a good experience, unless you're all 7 on LAN.
given host negotiation often desyncs the entire game for like 5 seconds or so
We live in different counties, so jog on.
i refuse to believe that you guys are all playing together in-game and not ever experiencing lag, because i've never seen it happen. yes, if you're all playing separately in the server and you're alone, you don't get affected, but as soon as a host takes the role and somebody is unable to flawlessly communicate over the network, things desync and there's clear delay in any action.
So your first hand experience is valid but mine isn't? Weird take.
not at all? i think we both are coming with personal first hand experiences that differ at the moment
We get lag, sure. Never said we didn't, but that's in areas of high instance counts, not network related.
Ok, sure, again, only your experience counts.
I mean.. there's a noticeable amount of lag without hardly any instances, but it generally can be adjusted for
the networking in this game is far from ideal, but it's serviceable
That is true.
I played on bigger server and the moment one has lag we all felt it.
Very obvious on bigger servers
Solo player not-having-issues power β 
Forget about playing in a 40 people server and be close to a guy building, its messy.
NOTHING to do with instnaces, jsut spawning and stuff
just lag from performance π
Anyone knows what we can do with the green pots ? Can we put flowers in there ?
they are basically just aesthetic storage chests, but they don't have many slots sadly
i think the tall one has 3, med one 2, and the mini one 1
Yeah too bad,. I tried to put a yellow flower and a thistle in ther.
I was hoping to see them on top/.
Would be something so easy to implement
You can look at them. π
Like imagine you put a blue berry. and you hae a blue berry bush on top ( not edible)
that would be so cool
I am trying to make it happen with a brute dwarf head
there's a mod that does that with barrels for food ingredients, i'm hoping they do the same with the dvergr barrels in the future, they look so natural
There are so many small things that can be done. and would add so much
And unfortunately you cant place item stands on the pots to use those to place items
+We need more inventory slots
No? Lol.
we need fewer inventory slots, and better mobility for the cart
Also no.
i cant fit all of my important things in my hotbar
Melee Weapon, Shield, Health Pot, Stamina Pot, Ranged Weapon, Hammer, Pick, Axe.
Done.
Not every game has a 10 slot hotbar.
most of the notable ones
Subnautica gives you 5, lol.
keyword most
It sounds like you're choosing to carry more things than you need to and instead of rectifying that, you're saying it is the dev's problem and they should change their entire game based on your personal choices π€·ββοΈ
mmmm i love valheim
i like the inv management in valheim, its oddly one of my favorite things to do, especially when preparing for certain situations
1h weapon, shield, 2h weapon, bow, hammer, 1-2 tools as needed, rest meads
See previous about choosing to carry stuff you don't need to.
we all have similar hotbars, very cool
the devs have said they want inv management and decision making be a part of the game, they don't want us to be able to always take absolutely everything with us and pick up anything, and I am with them on that, it makes it less boring and feel less grindy because you need to decide what is important to you
and oh dear is it a challenge in Ashlands haha
man im so excited to get to ashlands
me and my friends got to plains real fast this co op but then they got busy, so now ive started a solo to go play it lol
i havent heard too much of peoples opinions on it yet, what do u guys think about ashlands
I'm on my 10th play through xD
idk which one im on, i recently deleted a bunch of really old worlds but this is prolly my 5th or 6th long playthrough
i wanna get better at the game and do the kinda stuff threadmenace does, its so cool to watch him play
Ashlands are great imo, maybe a little less intricate then Mistlands in some way but the atmosphere is nice, haven't tested the newest changes to it yet on the PTB
does he have a long episodes start to finish very hard mode playthrough? looking for a new one, I watched the play through from someone called Waffles that was quite nice
he has a lot of playlists, some hardcore, some doing ashlands prep, he does a lot of speedrunning stuff
he doesnt talk too much but his gameplay is always something else
and theyre all unedited, so many many hours of content
I do like a streamer that does talk a lot though, unedited is good, VOD etc. it does not need to be cut
I like the flow of unedited ones
woops put that in the wrong chat, meant to put this here
but he def inspired me to play solo valheim and improve on my own mechanics, his videos are always really informative and you can learn some really cool stuff, like the way he kills trolls
I learned some stuff too, but a lot of stuff I figured out myself too, 1900h playtime
im closing in on 750, but id say like 100 are afk leaving the server open for friends, then another 630 doing co op
def have had it rougher in solo, but its nice to learn how to deal with big hordes of things when ur gear isnt the best instead of relying on co ops
also learning playing on normal difficulty was bad for me cuz im used to face tanking certain attacks and i cannot do that in hard....
mine is more skewed towards solo now, used to be almost 50:50
I only did one on hard, the rest is all normal, my preferred way of playing
my first queen kill was on hard
i like to be stressed
i actually have not killed queen yet, we couldnt find her on our 1st mistlands playthrough
sometimes yes, but I also like having a character that has pickaxe skill at 97 now π a new record for me
but we just got yagluth last night and we found queen location before yagluth by sneaking into an infested mine a little early since a friend wasnt on and we were bored lol
brave going into mist without a light haha
its very fun, staying full zoomed makes it mostly possible
little scary but if u cant kill yagluth cuz ur friend isnt on, its funny to get an arbalest and the dual wield knives before yagluth
got lucky with cores then
the mine did have a ton of cores, i think like 7-8 spawns? but we are also playing on 1.5x since my friends are busier than they used to be
feels a tiny bit cheesy but it gets us to newer content faster after having done many playthroughs before
I only ever play with 1x (like the need for farming, and the accomplishment once you finally have what you need)
yeah i get that, i feel a little shitty using 1.5x but time restraints suck
I don't want to build with no build cost or anything like that, I live for the achievement of having grinded all the materials myself, big part of the enjoyment for me (each to their own)
lol yeah no build cost would feel weird in a normal world to me
Slider for double build cost when? 
thats called Ashwood π

it costs double to normal wood for the pieces already haha
and its non renewable as far as I know, though there is a lot of it around when you first get there and it farms itself via Morgen and other creatures
When you hold shift to disable snapping... But it's PowerPoint π
It doesn't work like valheim what's this
Morgen gjall.
Good Odin... imagine a Gjall dropping down and rolling about like a Morgen.
Meet the abend: #fanart message
Nice.
Need to make the hanging tentacles into Leeches, then we'll really be cooking.
Mornin gjall π
π
Anyone knows what element "FLA" is ?
?
For FLA metals
oh, flametal = flame + metal
LOL thats so funny
flamemetal? could have been. Flame-tal is how i read it
Like the word "flaming"
i personally read it fla-metal π€·ββοΈ not sure if devs said what is the correct pronunciation
Fla-Me- TALL
Seeker Soldier had a sliver of health left, I punched it.
π π
It is also weird that punching surtlings doesn't hurt.
yeah, though if you punch fast enough then it would probably not really burn you π€
Depends on surtling temperature. If they're ~200 degrees it's possible a short contact with sufficiently calloused hands doesn't result in burns, but if they're more like ~2000 degrees then it won't matter how short the contact.
Thermal energy transfer rates are primarily dictated by temperature differential (and conductivity). Possibly with good and well insulated gloves?
Warm your hands up first. That way they can't take as much energy transfer π
Power of leidenfrost effect
i would say that short contact with the 2000Β° would also not be that bad exactly as blues said because of leidenfrost effect π
that is why i said "if you punch fast enough" π
will be more effective while having "wet" status
Leidenfrost effect relies on a substance vaporising and creating a thermal barrier. Such as water turning to steam, and tends to generally only apply to liquids because of that. Of course solids that can vaporise are also a consideration, but even if our viking is sweaty or wet enough to leidenfrost a few punches, I doubt it would prevent burns over the course of even 1 fisty cuffs encounter xD
Note also that there is a critical temperature at which the leidenfrost effect is the most effective (around 450 celcius) beyond which it becomes less effective until eventually the vapor layer cannot be sustained.
But you know, it's sorta irrelevant since it's a game I'm just a physics nerd.
Hmm
I used to flick my finger across a candlelight as a kid
Does that add more to the research?
yeah π we are just having fun anyway tho it works quite well (even tho certainly not long) with things even above 1000Β°C, there was quite a popular video of a guy flaping his hand through stream of molten metal (i assume that was iron but i could be wrong)
That's about like 500-1000 Β°C no?
molten iron is around 1500
I suppose if you really want to think about this
Temperature should not be considered that much
You can "safely" get singed by fires
true
I think the thing to consider is
How long your fist is going to be there
How hot is the air around it
And if there are any embers that'll stick to your knuckle
Temperature is not that important
Try doing the molten iron with really dry hands though, or punching a red hot but solid bit of iron, won't work well haha.
well temperature dictates how hot the air around will be π
What have I started?
oh i would not do that π
Well
If it sticks on you
That's a problem
Ah well actually now that I consider it more
I did touch a fireplace glass with my knuckle once
And got a bad burn
Temperature is ABSOLUTELY incredibly important, within a small temperature range maybe not, but when it gets to beyond a few thousand degrees all bets are off regardless of leidenfrost as even the IR radiation is gonna do damage as you get close
Like, the simplest burn
Idk if it's first or 3rd
Which one is .. less worse?
1st degree burns are the "better" ones
Yeah I thought of it a bit more
It is
But also matters what surtlings are made of
they are made of bits of Surtur π
Maybe the heat transfer is minimal
Maybe they're made out of bread
Aye, perhaps they don't actually contain much thermal energy and so as our fists collide they vaporise a couple of skin cells and cool off to safe temperatures because the energy density is super low, it's possible I suppose
And from what I see
Their fires are not raging like thermite
They're like...
Regular fires
Thermite "rages" because it's rapidly and self sustaining oxidation reaction.
Temperature doesn't require the raging fire "looks" but I do agree they seem more flame-y
Doesn't thermite burn at really high temperatures
You can heat a ball of tungsten to thousands of degrees and it will happily sit there glowing
well, blue flame can burn at around 2500-3000Β°C π (thermite is around that 2500)
It does, but not because it rages
so starred surtlings are pretty hot
The colour of glow indicates temperature as per black body radiation ye
Surts burn infinitely too
What does that tell us
perpetual energy!!!! XD
Magic
Why do you all know so much about fire?
Closet pyromaniacs the lot of you?
π₯
I'm an instrumentation physicist, so thermodynamics was part of my degree
Grab that surtling and stuff it in the oven where the wood normally goes.
I studied thermodynamics too but they never talked about surtlings before
It's an entirely new research
you must have not been paying attention π
Clearly, the supernatural is out of reach of physics at the moment ππ
The answer will be in the surtlings core for sure
Capture surtlings FOR SCIENCE!
The surtlings are just cornstarch lit up by the core
Surtling cores being the basis of smelters furnaces and stuff indicates infinite energy, but then we also need fuel? So not sure xD maybe not? But if not then why are they a crafting requirement? Just a fire starter?
You are so right....
Why the.. why are we putting god damn coal in smelters when it has enough cores for 5 infinite surtlings
Could be they are in the 500 degree range, so not enough to melt the metals. So we need good fuel to reach melting temps
Ah see when they die they also drop coal
Maybe they go around picking up coal and feeding their cores
Mhmm not sure about that one, can't really rationalise it. Since if the core needs to be fed, we could just use fuel itself and don't need the cores.
But maybe wood/coal/combustible material.isnjust food for surtlings and the core just ignites it and so we stay on the "firestarter"?
Could be
Since the surtling staff needs eitr to fire
But you have one loose end
Portals
Could be a pun, but I don't see it
that is most likely to form projectile from the fiery energy tho
Mhmmm if portals are wormholes, then we could assume surtling cores "infinite" energy is used to help compress space and keep the wormhole stable.
Of course it's just magic, so our understanding of physics doesn't match 1-1
How close can you stand next to a surtling before you can get set on fire?
Or can they not?
In game? No idea, would be worth measuring I suppose
you dont get set on fire just being close
Ah
not even while punching them π thats actually how this conversation started XD
I haven't fought surtlings in my world yet, still just building in meadows super chill like.
I blame you!
blame me however you like XD this was quite an entertaining convo so far
The next question becomes, if you kill surtlings with a bronze weapon do you destroy the material properties as the weapon heats up? XD
It is, just shifting the blame ^^
bronze doesent really mind heat that much, if it was work hardened then it will aneel it (make it maluable again) if you then cool it off quickly but its kinda soft even after work hardening it so its not that big of a deal π
steel would be worse since there you depend on heat treatment to give it the properties you want
Even with bronze it would depend on the temp it reaches, but you're correct in the sense that annealing is the main problem and you do not want your cutting edge to anneal haha.
Steel/iron could withstand higher temperatures than bronze without issues, but if it hits a critical temp the whole thing gets ruined.
So we're back to how much thermal energy is transferred!
I'd say hardly any
I can stand right next to a surtling and punch it and I don't get any burns.
I feel that even if you cut through a surtling
The sword will not be that hot at all
it would certainly be warmer, but you would have to be slaying surtlings left and right to accumulate so much heat it would start messing with material properties of your weapon π
The rate of thermal energy transfer is given by (kAdT)/D where k is conductivity constant, A is the area of contact, dT is the difference in temperature and D is the thickness of the material being heated.
K is known for bronze (I don't know if offhand) and dT depends on the surtlings temperature.
Using SI units for all variables the answer comes out as watts, which is a measure of energy per second and could be used to calculate by how much a bronze sword would heat up π
bronze is pretty good thermal conductor iirc, so before reaching critical temperature at any given location lots of heat will be dissipated into rest of the object, in this case we are talking sword π ( which is pretty thin so idk how much of an actual difference it will make)
You're left with time being the biggest factor
hmm, ok so bronze is actually worse thermal conductor than i thought, or at least tin+copper bronze, if we would be talking aluminium bronze thats different story (tho still lower than i previously though) π
Because the time of contact will be what
0.25s?
That might be generous too
Also, there will be a lot of variability
Grazing the surtling vs cutting through
Grazing it would be the point of contact so small
But still
Time is the biggest factor here
Also
Wouldn't this give you the rate of which the whole object heats up?
It gives you the rate of thermal energy transfer, that can be applied to the whole object if you ignore internal temperature gradient for simplicity yes.
Fader was a huge dissapointment as a melee fight. The actual theme and fight itself are really cool but when it comes down to the mechanics as melee you're just constantly running from all the ground AoE he spams and then leaves pools of, which he always somehow positions himself to be on the opposite end to you, once you close the gap he spams the AoE again and its just a repeat of that, all while managing enough stamina to attack and dodge for the short amount of safe uptime you get. Feels like once again weakest point of the game is the understanding of good combat balance. Its otherwise probably the best boss fight so far, wanted to see it on Normal before I try it on my Very Hard mage build and I can see its gonna be 10x easier and a lot funner as a range build once again lol
Fader was the only good combat part of Ashlands in my opinion
Taking every combat style into account I think its great, but playing as a ''heavy'' melee build it was really awful
What's heavy melee
Like I can already tell its gonna be significantly easier on very hard as mage
Heavy armor + Ashen cape, I use 2h sword as well but ide say heavy armor and cape
Its possibly the weakest melee set up but i just play what i think it coolest on normal
I was a mage and I still went in with 2h sword and didn't really encounter issues
The only issue I found was once I ran out of fire resistb
Well in my experience I was a complete slow moving melee set up and I found that I barely got any chances for melee uptime with all the AoE/Pools he would spam and leave behind
The actual difficulty and theme of the fight was great I just felt like I couldnt really play it because the whole time I was running around, trying to gap close and manage stamina
on mage its just gonna be zoom around in the speed cape while spamming trolls and vines
If his AI made it so he would actively try to prio gap closing me, and not spamming so much AoE and Pool that make me constantly need to run away
it would of been really good
Hi, so I havent played Valheim for a long time and just started a server with no mods. Someone told me that you are able to teleport with ores without installing any mods, is this a feature now?
After you create a world, you can open its world modifier menu and change a number of things - allowing normal portals to teleport ores is one of them.
Nice, how do I do this π
Select the world from the world selector menu and click on the 'world modifiers' button
That said, there is now a vanilla/default settings way to have portals teleport ores in the current endgame
So on a dedicated server, should I do this on the server or is it in the game menu?
Ah, for dedicated servers you might want to search in #dedicated-server
Thanks
Pretty sure the question has been answered before there
I haven't played in quite some time and just re-downloaded the game. When I start it though it just disappears and is like it never started. I tried running it as admin but nothing changed. Is this a common issue?
Not that I know of. Have you tried checking "file integrity "? Do you have mods installed?
No mods. I just downloaded it today
also just validated game files and they are fully validated
I also tried launching regularly and with vulcan. neither works
Could it be your anti-virus? Also, asking around the relevant "help" section might get you more help.

Is it a server or just a non dedicated
my island that I found sank ):
probably been asked a hundred times, me and my son trying to play via pc / xbox. keeps saying versions incompatible, is crossplay not a thing anymore π¦ ?
crossplay is a thing still, dumb question but your both playing on the same version right?
Besides double checking the games version, Xbox is not compatible with mods, so if you are running any that may be a issue.
From what I have been told*
Do they have griffins in this?
in valheim? no
Unfortunate, that's my favourite-
Quick google
Egyptian, Roman and greek mythology creature...
What is the difference bertween the Splitnir and the Nidhogg, They are identical beside that Nidhog has 200 durability instead of 100.
Anyone knows the difference ?
That splitnir is a spear and nidhogg is a sword
Thats quite a big difference π
wow that is a big difference huh
But thatβs my favorite tame
Might get lucky with a mod. I know I have seen dragons in the mod channel that are mounts.
Thank you kind sir finally some good news all day
I wish my father would play valheim with me lol
Oh I see thanks.
Oh, you must've been confused due to the icon. I can see that.
The sharp end of splitnir is long
Yeah they did not specify any difference in the spreadsheet before crafting. Not gonna waste metal on something alike π
At a simple glance I could see why thinking they're similar without looking at the stats
one doing pierce and one doing slash
That's why I said "without looking at the stats"
Also, I wouldn't be surprised at the kinda of oversights considering they made grausten payload deal 20 damage which must be noticeable.
Also morgen's slap attacks deal pierce instead of blunt or slash.
Btw, greydwarf brutes also deal slash instead of blunt
yea i shouldve added that if one looks, yup
Everything is identical, even the appearance is almost alike. And since size was not there, I actually was thinking the spear was a dagger lol
But the stats are almost identical
The only to know otherwise would be to have craft them
and damage types?
Well dagger does pierce as well. I cant know if they changed them to be a little diffrent.
The spear did look like a small dagger. Then splitting hearth made me think of a rogue backstabing π
It simply is not clear as long as it is not stated in the stats
A simple
"spear" or "sword" would add quality to it
I guess the early naming of weapons made it clear, like *( silver sword ex:)
But the new one I dont know. and I am too far from Viking history knowledge to be able to relate anything
i likely wouldve just crafted both and found out what then lol
so our versions are different apperantly, never had the issue before. guess just means wait on xbox to update π
Yeah when i need to figure that I do spawn them in dev commands tghen destroy them, next time
dont want to waste ressources to firgure stuff
I am disapointed RAMS dont damage mobs
It also knocks down threes but does not do any damage once the are down lol
are either of you on the PTB?
since the game only care about network-version-numbers π€
hey everyone, i'm new to valheim and just started the game, what should i be doing first
Collecting sticks and rocks to make basic tools and foraging for food. Explore until you find a place you'd like to make home and collect wood to make a rudimentary structure.
Hey, folks. Some dude is streaming a FPS with machine guns and whatnot in Meadow's Glade. Where do I report that?
Do the Morgens only drop 1 sinew?
yep
don't worry, you will get plenty before you are done in the ashlands π
you forgot the part where you punch a 2 star boar just for it to murder you outright π
2 star boars cant spawn in the centre meadows :p
hi, can someone explain to me, why right after killing the mistlands boss, i got raided by like 25 skeletons from ashlands??? that doesnt seem right
they can spawn pretty close to spawn if they come pre generated near boar stones (they are a 1 time spawn not affected by distance to spawn and is random even with the same seed)
just bad luck
Yeah honestly i think id start breaking down personally, thats fucked up luck man
Little greetings from Ashlands π₯
well it was dumb. my entire base was ran over. im done with this game. between the god awful mists and terrain of mistlands, and the extremely unbalanced raids as solo. i cannot see myself progressing into ashlands. rip
16 updates in 8 hours, what the hell discord
U know u can always turn down the frequency of raids or turn them completely off, right?
Im building a town and turned raids off and wont turn them on until the town will be raid ready... cba about repairing the buildings over and over.. and cant protect every building
Few seconds of trolls and half of one smaller building is gone... esp. If they r equipped with logs
Sadly building material is very weak in valheim against weapons
An axe will destroy a stone block faster than a pickaxe
Hope they will add some good resistance (like 90%) for any stone building materials against melee weapons before full release
Morgen gjall.
have you tried world modifiers?
i dont like modifying things personally, but when i bought about 6k worth of chicken eggs only for all of them to get stomped on by a troll raid..... i had to sit in silence for a while.
I read this as "6k chicken eggs" and holy crap...
AHAHAHA no.... i dont think theres that much money in the whole of valheim...
You can kill fulings and trolls for infinite money
You can also just collect infinite eggs from chickens.
we didnt really farm, but it took us soooooo long to just get like 600 coins
pain in the ass! each fuling drops like 5 coins. and trolls drop like 20
Dungeons.
BF and Swamp have Rubies and Amber. Copius coins to be gotten.
thats true. but we manged to scrap 3k together... the coffers are completely empty tho lol. the new pen is in a moated, stone walled enclosure if these ones die im gonna find a way to just spawn in chickens i swear
Once they start laying eggs you can keep some safe in a chest to hatch if your chickens die
yes will do π
i didnt realize how easy it was to farm jotun puffs so i went crazy and now after one farming session i have a chestful lmao. gotta love salads...
3k eggs? π
Farm goblins in the plains free money
We almost got 10k gold stashed away now.
Bat raid says hi
WILL THE BATS KILL MY CHICKENS????????????
Mornin Gjall π
they will kill everything that moves
Basically like todays chickens
Raaahhhh ill turn my farm into an american meat factory !!
But fr, this is nothing compared to the abuse my minecraft cows went through though π₯Ί im sorry about the cow cube... guantanamoo bay...
Speaking of which. Cows in valheim when? Did vikings have cows
Ill probably make half inside and half outside chicken pen
So it looks good and i wont lose all if some die to a raid
I heard spikes on the top of walls help against bat raids
Oh w thank you
But didnt try it myself.. but they should fly into the spikes and die in one hit
Ill just spike everything o7
Just like stone pile or wood stack there should be a storage placement for resin thatβs just a giant glob or puddle that gives you and enemies a slowing debuff if you step on it
@mystic sequoia
You could build the outside chicken coop with iron cage, so they get to see the sun but can't be targeted by bats.
so a chicken prison?
Yes but one where they get sun.
My chickens aren't that lucky.
I've got 2 pair that are squished into a box that is smaller than a meter.
They only get to eat dandelions and carrot seeds and do nothing else but breed all day long.
The others are in a shack with no windows and no chance to go outside.
I am thinking about making a nice chicken coop where they can live out their old days once they become obsolete.
so a vitamin D freindly Chicken prison
I like my chicken free range π
this is basically battery farming
It is, but their cage is even smaller than irl, they can't move left or right and they are stacked on top of each other.
omg ill give them an ironcage roof :3
where i can get a crew to beat ashlands?
You could put a call out on #1024264966712340510
thanks
All the skillz that i gatherd on my main i lost on ashlands in first 30 min
Yeah ashlands was a skill issue
Spawners?
Bonemass.
Bonemass?
He exists for the leveling of every weapon that isn't blunt.
How
Pick a weapon type.
just go ham on him
Seriously, pick a weapon type. Please.
Im using atgeir mainly
He's a zero-damage fight, how would he kill you?
I have only silver armor
just build some structures upwards and go on from there π
that is more than enough to beat him VERY easily
Bronze Atgeir (build 2 if you want) do not upgrade it.
Bring a max-level Iron Mace so you can one-shot adds.
Dodge swipes. Roll away from poison. Zero damage taken.
Yea.. but thats not the point π
Yes, it is.
I dont wanna beat him, but to skill
This is about leveling a skill.
Bonemass is a damage sponge, which is how you level skills.
it is tho...
Assuming you are playing in normal with no world modifiers, Silver is the biome after bonemass. You just need swamp or mountain grade hp foods.
Im playing on hard
Ah
Make a dojo. (A small shack over a rock, with a fire and a workbench). Then attack the rock with the most basic low stamina version of the weapon you want to train up.
Unless it is your absolute first time ever encoutering him, the only time Bonemass hits you is if you allow him to hit you.
I beat him once
Unfortunately, I think this was patched out(or I remember seeing something that suggested it was but not 100% sure).
I tried attacking rocks, but never worked for me
Bonemass is how you farm everything that isn't Blunt.
Elder is how you farm Block.
Basically one swipe does like 60% of my hp if i use 2 hp and 1 stam food
Could be. I never bothered with it myself. Because Iβm finding my skills progressing nicely just naturally.
The goal is farming skill.
You should be running HSS.
And never get hit, because it's Bonemass.
Only ever used the dojo to train punching skill(unarmed) a long time ago.
Punching Bonemass to death is extremely satisfying.
Whats hss
That would take foreverπ€£
Food?
Oh
H=health
S=stamina
E=eitr
Skill training always does.
Or hss could mean high speed steel...depending on context.
High Speed Sinternet?
Idk.. on hard he does 120 blunt dmg without armor.. would have to learn how to dodge him.. or cheese it with jumping on the skull
Raised Hand = Swipe. Roll into him.
Both Hands on Belly = Poison Vomit, either backroll twice or turn around and sprint for 2s.
Hand in Armpit = Adds spawn, turn around, run in direction he is face. One shot when they land with Iron Mace or Sledge.
I would still go for a greydwarf spawner, you will train skills and you get wood, stone, dandelions and eyes and some junk.
The junk can go into the obliterator and get you coal, the wood and stone can be build with, the dandelions are for your chickens and the eyes are either for portals or eyescream and once you have enough of these things dump em in the obliterator as well.
Yea, but its super slow and boring π
I got a question about updates. Does the world get bigger or do you have to start a new run every update? I havent explored any further than mistlands so i genuinely dont know.
World is same size, you do not have to restart.
Though it is recommended on "biome added" updates as they sometime change the world generator code.
How does that work? Does it just change some biomes in the existing world to fit the new ones?
Uh, like when they added Ashlands.
Certain hills/mountains stop existing or got generated differently.
There's a host of videos of people loading in and just watching their stronghold crumble out of the sky because what it was built on didn't exist anymore.
Ohhhhhh icic. Interesting way to deal with it.... i feel like just increasing the world radius would be better no? Just make the world bigger lol
- Better is subjective.
- Not that simple.
- Their game, their call.
Well no duh theres probably a reason why its done that way. Idk i dont know anything about game dev Β―_(γ)_/Β―
hmm, what? I'm here
Well Ashlands and Deep North are already on the map.. just everything around in certain radius sinked to the ocean
And terrain changed a lot in Ashlands themselves
But wasnt as drastic as Mistlands
oh??? iirc deep north is unfinished right. is it just an empty biome rn?
yes, tho its quite pretty imo
Like me. Pretty, but empty. π
At least you have one thing going for you.
Self proclaimed
Beauty is in the eye of the mead holder π
This is true
not with mods π
The more mead was held the more beauty is in the eye.
everyone becomes beautiful with more mead, this is true
what have mods to do with anything?
makes deep north not barren
how does it change that devs did not finish it yet?
If everyone is having mead that is, for the ones not having mead they all get more silly and might even turn uglier depending on what kinds of drunks they are.
im just sayingπ
True !! Everyone gotta be mead holders. Heard it here first, alcoholism is the way
hello fellow people
I think you're a bird posing as some other species.
haha that would be cool
GΓ³Γ°an dag!
wudup, im about to open my server if anyone wants to join and bs around
@normal apex idk if I'll do a whole lot other than be a tourist. Is it still open?
Does anyone have any solid mead recommendations irl?
Imo the semi sweet meads taste like alcoholic cool-aid.
didn't expect icelandic in chat π
Lol idk I just picked the first thing that came up that felt valheim-y
i love dags
Ya want a caravan?
Hey, I have to clean install my pc. Will I lose all my Valheim save worlds, or are they saved on the steam cloud?
If cloud is up to date, they wil be there.
Best to double check, turning off cloud boosted performance some year or two ago.
Alright, thanks!
bro whoever programmed the greydwarfs...
they are the most annoying little shits i've ever seen
that's exactly what they are ment to be
small anying little pricks
wait till you get to plainsXD
They do a great job
they seem to run needlessly around even more than greydwarfs, but thats maybe because they have less obstacles in the way in plains compared to BF
they're not so bad, you can tame them to some extent (with light sources)
got a greyling and a 2star greydwarf bartender chilling at my base

Is brutal the best version of the slayer?
so throwing a cart on the boat works?
Slightly on par with thunder but yes
i just threw one on their so far so good
You can throw multiple carts on a boat, however the weight does eventually slow the boat down. 1 cart full of metal is fine, 2 carts full of metal is asking for trouble.
On a longship. Haven't tried other ships.
yeah if u fill it on the small boat it almost sinks lol
works quite well with carts on the new boat
Only if you're consistently missing health π€·ββοΈ
good lord i cant even walk 2 fucking feet after getting my grave in ashlands
Uh.. did someone root you?
root?
no im dying
Why?
ashlands
Yes, you said that already.
Why?
Are you trying to fight them?
no i am trying to just get my stuff and run away but i cant bc i get sniped by a rock or 3 asksvin are jumping me
By a rock?
yes the twitchers throw rocks really hard
What's your food?
Yeah that's your entire problem.
Your food isn't even good in the Mistlands and you're trying to Ashlands with it...
im way more than fine in mistlands with that food tho
And that would also be why you think the enemies are hard.
no its also bc i get hit with a 50x3 combo bc im stun locked after getting hit once
Yeah, because your food sucks.
So your stagger threshold is super low.
i wouldve thought armor rating would have done that
ok what food do i need now
Check the pins in this channel. There's an entire sheet that I maintain specifically about food.
Oh. #valheim-chat
Wherever Scarlet put them π
ok what about my mage friend, hes still dying really easily. is that just a skill issue?
I mean...
I just realized the game went on sale a day after I bought the game π
hai guys :3 hows yalls summer going
@tired harness thank you btw, that really helped me
π
Hello, quick ASKA question. is there any creative building in aska? like we have in valheim? i read a few comments players say there is no creative building, just wanted to expland on it if anyone here is has the time to share a more detailed explanation, thanks.
What is ASKA?
Ark Survival: Klingon Avengers?
are spears still considered one of the worst weapons in valheim?
probably the best for speedruns out of any of them, overall definitely would not say the worst
If there comes a magical spear that self-returns, I will power-farm Spear to 100 skill.
i was just curious as it always seemed to get looked over or down on, even some weapon guides neglect it xD
I hear Gungir wisdom!
well ye
cuz it turns out spear has ass hitboxes and shit range and are completely useless on slopes while a crapton of enemies are resistant to pierce
oh, and atgeirs exist, which is a problem for spear cuz in 9/10 situations those are a straight upgrade
that being said, once in a blue moon spear is the weapon of choice and then it is a horrifying weapon and they are somewhat cheap to craft and upgrade
that's not good enough, you need to at least get cooked ashlands food
at least? π€
well, you can eat something tier lower, but it will be significantly more difficult
I also misread that
I thought you meant in terms of food, you need at least ashlands food
they'll definitely nerf it anyway
Ashlands is supposed to be tougher than mistlands, so whether something will be made easier....
Moin everyone
no argument there
it's supposed to be tougher sure
but it needs to be done right
i like ashlands as is tbh, constant battlegrounds
but I'm doing op solo mage so, my experience is built different
How hard is it to do a sealed tower?
nothing wrong with liking it
For reference my friend and I are in the mistlands rn with full plains gear
I personally don't see it as a constant battleground or a war
tbh i respect, but we got differing opinions for sure, getting there and fighting 7 mobs initially, with more joining over time, felt like i had to be a 1 man army
would run down from the top and eat something or heal before reaching the bottom π
you got good gear, dont worry
Okay thank you!
Food is far more important than gear.
oh i mean gear generally, like plains food as well. i would have said armor if i wanted to specify padded lol
Fair.
A lot of people have "difficulty issues" with Mist/Ashlands and it turns out to be "equipped gear is fine, food horrible"
haven't seen those people about ashlands
Had one just yesterday.
Dude was rocking Bread and Salad for an HSS build and wondering why the enemies were so difficult π
Morgen gjall.
I feel the best solution is to have ashlands make more sense with points of interest
attacking and defending
Hell, have enemies mine flametal if it's valuable
cus ashlands has nothing worth dying for (in lore)
and in my opinion
they built fortresses and fight each other over ownership of the land
for me, the main issue with ashlands is audio and game rendering hitching in the middle of fights where we have valks + 1* asksvin on us. game freezes, the moment it unfreezes im dead by a combo of hits or by being launched into lava
This only happens in ashlands biome
I'll be gone the next week, so you'll have to do without Morgen gjall.
just hit 1000 hours played, send help XD
Was there any idea when the next patch will be?
inconceivable
a tragedy really
shall we send you more time to up that low count? 
After team gets back from holidays
Oh that's fine I was just wondering if anyone knew an approximate time frame
You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.
wait, uh, what do you mean
Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.
uh.... go ahead?
Inconceivable was used, that should tell you enough.
Just 1k? Grats though. Lol
hi!
No
Little odd but I selected"view all channels " and yet I found the programming channel under the help section wasn't added(manually added it later when I stumbled on it).
give me your best song and ill rate it from 1 to 10

Hello guys, what is the HEAT resistance gear for ?
What heat is there to resist ?
It did not work on lava so I hardly see the purpose
It increases the delay before lava and boiling water starts damaging you
oh lol. Ok so meaningless π
thanks,
I think I will keep my bubble and just jump as everything
I am gonna do the boss soon, I think I have cleared most of ashland. Not much tbh, and never found a use for them.
I think I will craft the next magic gear for exta eitr and we will see
Some people might like how I "tamed" a bonemaw.
#screenshots message
Wait i just realizied if the game has 7 bosses and the last one is in ashlands then wtf is frostlands for? Can u even get gear in there or what?
It has 7 bosses because they haven't added the 8th one yet.
Wait so there will be a 8th boss in frostlands??
Prior to the Ashlands being updated, there were 6 bosses. And going to the Ashlands was as pointless as going to the Deep North currently is.
Prior to the Mistlands being updated, there were 5 bosses. And going to the Mistlands was pointless (and very different) at that time.
Well im very glad they are still updating
They have Deep North and "an ocean update" remaining.
Idk i tought this game was so old they were never gonna update again, same with fallout 4
That makes... no sense.
Its the same with a game called outward even tough its 5 years old and they confirmed no update im kinda used to this
Is there any leaks when the update is gonna realease?
We just had an update.
i feel like 3 years is not so old... but i guess time is relative
In game dev terms, 3 years is not old.
well i mean, in his defense ithas happened before
Yes me too but then i saw all of the vids like 2 years ago and i tought this game is dead
To Valheim?
i didnt say valheim
To any other project Iron Gate has worked on?
thats besides the point, im saying it has happened before, im not saying this studie did it, im not saying this dev team did it, im saying a early access game just not getting updates and left unifinished has happened before
That is the entire point.
Because in context, this has not happened before.
Just because some other studio with some other game did something, does not mean it is applicable to all other studios and all other games.
feels a bit like the devs banked on modders filling in the rest π€·ββοΈ like many other games
being suspicions of of ea games is very much understood after some just stopped updating and leaving it a broken mess and started on a other game
Valheim is a ea game, so his suspicions are warranted,
yes this game has proven that its not like other games that get left unfinished but it is ea
Agree to heavily disagree I guess.
i did enjoy ashlands personally it looks and feels sick imo
a bit spicy but manageable
Spicy Marmalade
Mornin Gjall π
morningg
Valheim is technically not even officially released - that's right we're all playing early access currently
Wait.. What??!!
It is in Early Access.
It's a bit of a Minecraft situation where the game is not technically officially released for many years, though in Minecraft's case it was an even longer duration
This has the benefit of keeping the game relatively cheap, it's likely to be a bit more expensive when fully finished and properly launched
I can't imagine the price will change.
there are two benefits:
1: a cash infusion which many smaller devs need for such projects
2: a crapton of unpaid beta-testers
I personally wouldn't be surprised either way
Yep
and hey, im having fun
Guys... I upgraded my GPU from 1060 to 3070, am I doing something wrong that I'm still getting 15 fps in base (~15k instances)?!
valheim aint particularly gpu heavy tbh
shoit, so should I change it to the CPU (in the manager)?
it should be, right? I mean, considering that many games depend on GPU rather than CPU
valhiem is really more CPU heavy i believe
changing the hmdi to the mother-board would do then?
there's also the boot.config file edits which help fps, and for me exclusive fullscreen mode using f5 added like 20 fps
that would only make your game reliant on your cpu's integrated graphics if it had any and and integrated graphics cpu is worse than normal gpus so let your hdmi cable connected in your gpu
It didnt change much to me, What was the one you used? thx
do you play on steam?
It helped, increased around 10 fps, tho. Mine is a i5 9600k.
ok, so here is the thing: thats a relict of the ps3 and somewhat the ps4 era
games were generally developed for consoles, which had low cpu power
by extension even fairly bad cpus could manage
gen 5 consoles are more similar to pcs, and have stronger cpus
and thus newer games dont have such an extreme disparity between cpu and gpu usage
on top of that valheim simply isnt a gpu heavy game
usually your fps drop due to entity lag, and thats on the cpu
the above post has been dropped in almost every chat section
the now removed one, yes
Good, 10fps is a nice improvement even if you hoped for more. But there's more to try. Add these two lines to the boot.config:
gc-max-time-slice=10
job-worker-count=7
Only, for job worker count, the number you use will be the threads your cpu has minus one. So mine has 8, so I put 7. I suppose you could also put a number higher than 10 for the "slice=" part but 10 worked for me so I stuck with it.
Correct if I'm wrong, but most of the lag is due to the CPU Checking stability status every other second for each block in the game?! (plus other stuff oc)
when you get banned, there is an option to delete messages from the user for various timeframes. it's a very handy feature
Also above all the lines?!
stability seems to only be checked every few seconds or so -- when you destroy the foundations, notice the significant delay between when it breaks and the rest of the building falls? those checks are relatively expensive, but that's why they're not run every frame, so that's generally not gonna be the source of fps loss
the two I just referenced can be the last lines below the rest
I euthanized many of my wolves, and killed all my chickens, it helped a bit. But if not stability-wise, how come the fps drops that much?
everytime you start the game though you will have to press F5, type "exclusivefullscreen" and hit enter for the fullscreen fps boost to activate
Just to clarify one thing. My i5 9600k 9thgen has 6 threads, so I should put 5 on "count=5"?!
Ive been having fps issues too. I have an intel and geforce gpu, but i think valheim immediately defaults to using my intel gpu. I tried everything to default to the geforce one, but none of it worked. The only option was to disable the intel gpu and that was a risk i wasnt willing to take lol.
If u figure out a way to fix your fps pls lmk
which one is your monitor plugged into?
Im on a laptop so... uh both ? Im not sure
integrated
unless you have an MUX switch
exactly, you would use 5
Well, it seems more stable at 20 fps now, oscillating to 40, but much better than the 12-15 from before
and you used the debug console upon entering the game right?
forgot that... wait a minute
Still around 20. That's ok. much better still. Thanks man o/
just checking, you did this right?
in any case, at least you got some improvement. Depending how big your base is, youll always get fps drops there even on good hardware when running around a large complex
20fps still seems pretty terrible. have you tried limiting the process to only use a single core? that may also help as multithreading a single-thread job can be much less efficient
oh, and check if you have hardware accelerated gpu scheduling enabled. That may help as well
18k instances right now (some buildings were delayed finishing due to the increase of lagging).
So many things I lack knowledge of.... xD
checked and it's on
oh, and put shadows on medium
just putting shadows on medium ive me huge fps boost. Though I have a weaker system than yours
game still looks good with medium shadows
not sure if it influences, but my monitor is ultrawide, resolution is not a problem right?
not sure, I play on 1080p
but higher resolutions is a gpu thing and i think you said you had a really good one so it shouldnt matter
I don't mind graphics xD I'll reduce them tho.
dont have to reduce all of them, for me shadows was the biggest hit. Putting shadows on medium gave me +20fps
I'll try to find a in between xD
turn off chromatic aberration, depth of field, and motion blur as well
How come the "using a single core" helps? i'm to try it now
everything else had no impact for me so I left them at the highest
hi
in my experience, using a single core has never helped in any game ive played. I assume its very rare
but try it to see I guess
worsened by a ton hehehe
it can help if the cpu is context switching too much between threads when the process can't use multiple cores. I've run into a few games in the past where it helped a ton, but it may not be as relevant anymore
I removed a lot of my standing torches as well, just "wasted" material... and it helped too
you might as well try setting your graphics settings to minimum, and then slowly enable things until you find something that significantly impacts performance
number of point lights and shadows are generally pretty taxing
but other things can be as well
seems that it varies little, and I found a stable settings that maintain more of those 20 fps. Thank you guys o/ (still on 20fps tho. Near my base that is)
Good afternoon everybody. My brother has a world where we play together. In the last few days, I can no longer connect to his world, nor can he connect to other worlds. I tried entering more worlds of other friends and it worked. But my brother can't access any world anymore. it already uses the "Open Server" and "Cross Server" function, even so, we were unable to enter. It only fails to connect. Does anybody know how to solve this?
hello, i'm new to the modding of valheim. After the new patch of ashlands i really wanted to get back and have fun with few of my friends. I got a question. If i download like 30+ mods and they work on 'community server - non dedicated' when im alone there, will my friends have to download all of them too ?
Probably question for #mods-discussion ,folks there know more about all of that π
okie thx
is he on the same version?
Yes
We just turned off the firewall and tried to connect again, but it still says "failed to connect"
it's generally better to not ask the same question in multiple places
is there some joke or reasoning beheind the star shaped meadows biome generation near spawn before any black forest biome???
star shaped?
I donβt think so, I think itβs just a design choice.
What bow upgrade is the best
Yea if you go into valheim world generator (on google) then you will see the star shape pattern if you generate enough worlds
The poison one seems cool
Depends on how you want to use it
For dps go blue, for crowd control go green and red for doing more damage the closer you are to dying
Lightning and poison are best in my opinion unless you're running a blood mage build
I think Iβve got one of those saved
Oh damn itβs from before the server got wiped so I canβt find it now
blood beats lightning
only if you like being low health with low stamina π€·ββοΈ
you dont have to lose too much health to match lightning
Great english valheim stream is on atm by Crate of bananas on youtube. Had to promote since i saw this guy had only 40 viewers. His playing Vanilla playtrough atm in plains (send that link on self promotion channel ofc)
WHY THE **** do the lava rocks HAVE AIMBOT WHEN IM TRYING TO GET MY BODY i cant even use the bombs fast enough AND THEN GET KNOCKED FURTHER INTO THE LAVA. NERF THAT
They...don't?
I think iolite for fast hitting weapons like the axes, the single hand sword etc. the jade is great on bows and maces, things you want to keep distance with. And the bloodstone I honestly just use for making staffs and upgrades, I donβt rly see a big use for putting them on your weapons.
Good for blood mages. They can cast spells to take their health and then fight with increased damage but I dont use any bloodstones on my melee build. Jade or Iolite is best for most weapons.
I am so happy to learn that some of the skeletton summons are females
Gertrud was a good girl.
For my ranged build Iβve gone :
- Storm Fang (iolite bow) for ranged DPS (primary)
- Root Ripper (jade crossbow) for ranged support (secondary 1)
- Bleeding Berserkir (bloodstone axes) for emergency melee (secondary 2)
And, Ask set, to maintain stamina.
How can you tell or did they confirm?
I'm assuming they're just guessing based on the name.
Gertrud is female origin. Very popular in dutch region and even french belgium*
How I really know tho.
Is the look she was giving me, naughty as F
β€οΈ
Oh I didnβt realize they had names ig

Morning, Puncher of Drakes
morning to you too good sir π
I hit 15 hours today π
I need some friends to play with, would make the game 10 times more fun
i dont recommend a server until you are well familiar with the game
yeah, first playthrough is best solo to familiarize yourself with the game π
yup and to not spoil things
indeed

ashlands has been out on the live version (what most people have) for a few weeks now atleast

litterally says may 14th Major update Ashlands
This is the internet, what do you think?
#valheim-patchnotes is right there as well...

imagine expecting people to search before asking! 
imagine
imagining
i could never
Hello! Is there any server with the RU community?
you can certainly search in #1024264966712340510 π
thanks<3
Is there people who still play this game cause i'm asian and my internet not very good
It's literally dead
Unless someone uses the deadraiser, then it's undead(?).
Only 35, 000 just now on Steam alone.
π€
Is there such a thing as βtoo sillyβ?
I mean technically no but the government says it's a nono
hi, is there any swedish server that i can play with?
probably in the #1024264966712340510
Anybody from Milan in Italy here? Am visiting the city and want somone to show me around tomorrow
what makes a random stranger here better qualified to be an unpaid tour guide than a random stranger you meet in person when you get there?
This is a way to find somone to hang with that may have some of the same intrest as me
Yes, I am completely sure that meeting a complete stranger without any previous knowledge of from the internet while visiting a foreign country is a good idea...
π my boy you should've made a friend from milan prior to the trip
I am on an interrail. We desided to go her last night
is it coming home
If leveling up bow skill just makes it do more damage then how tf does it take like 2 seconds to charge a bow for some youtoubers?
increased bow skill reduces draw time -- but generally it needs to be pretty high to have a noticeable effect
yo is there channel where i can pick roles like country?
No
not country no, but you can pick up roles in id:customize
I read that and my first thought was why does it matter if heβs southern
Now Iβm hearing βBless your heartβ
I guess if you ainβt country you donβt hear that much though
everything changed when the fire nation attacked
Hey, Ashlands question, non-spoilers I suppose. I've got some floating fortress bits, how do I break them?
If there's a vegvisir there, you can't.
If not, just attack them
Can you not at all - like is there not a point at which the vegvisir stops holding the walls up?
From what I've seen I assume not.
There is a ruin in my outpost with a vegvisir on the last floor that refuses to dismantle no matter how much time it passes.
I assume vegvisirs and runestones belong to the same group, not even devcommands can remove them. In the best-case scenario, maybe the vegvisir will just stay floating
What Iβve seen is the central tower of a fortress floating. The vegvisir, in that case, being on the ground.
How yβall doin
I have a question, do the creators plan to bring many more biomes to Valheim in the future?
only 1 more, Deep North will be the last full biome with a boss, we might get some smaller update to existing stuff and maybe some ocean changes but only 1 more full biome update, bringing it to a total of 8 full land biomes
@craggy hollyty
anyone wanna help me beat Yagluth?

Ohhh patch notes....stability fixes are always good.
What's been changed on the ptb then? Ashlands balancing or..?
what?! a channel to get all the info i need from the latest patch?!
that would be a awesome idea!
Nothing has changed on the PTB. This is a live patch.
I think maybe they mean that βthe hotfix patch notes mention something about changes in the PTB - what are those changes?β
Just guessing.
Exactly this, thank you
The patch notes make it very clear nothing has changed in the PTB.
