valheim-chat

[gray nexus]

True there's some minor misses on the wiki, the mechanics themselves are quite reliable

[merry pebble]

well the wiki is mostly done by looking at the games code soooo...

[violet comet]

I’ve just googled the wiki and it pretty clearly says it on there?

[hot fern]

alright, guess i'll take it as is, it's likely correct, guess i've just move out far too fast in my plays

sorry!

[uncut bough]

you shall now be banished to valheim for purposefully spread misinformation

[opal prairie]

It can be closer than 800 meters in abandoned villages or near the runestones they won't come back after you killed or tamed them but you can find a 2 star boar in those.
I've had it happen myself finding starred boars closer than expected.

[uncut bough]

forget about doing factual check, imma start believing random people

[gray nexus]

The ones from rune stone will always try to return back to it btw from what I remember

[regal spoke]

Multiple runs with groups have found 2* boar on spawn Island. Must've been a boar stone scenario

[gray nexus]

This reminds me

First time I tamed, they were from a rune stone. I broke the fence to redo it a bit and they all just ran back like 300m with me chasing behind them, it was funny

[uncut bough]

is there a purpose to build the cup in valheim?

i forgot the specific name of it but the description of it is "skal" or sth

[hot fern]

not really, iet lets you drink mead but you can do that without the cup, mostly for decoration

[opal prairie]

Decoration I think.

[toxic rose]

For walkthrough no, for fun and decorating why not

[uncut bough]

man i hate fighting the greydrawf shaman, it dropped the useless bukeperries that cramps my inventory and i have to throw it away every time

and also it has poison debuff

[smoky quarry]

nothing like a cold mug of ale in the hot pool

[opal prairie]

Some mulled mead in the winter after playing in the snow with the kids can also hit the spot just right.

[uncut bough]

why does tasty mead look so underwhelming, it gives -50% health penalty for double the stamina

[fair cairn]

it works great in a emergency when your out of stamina and would get sorrounded if you dont get some stamina

and its effect is like only a few seconds so, it lets you quickly recover some stamina while you have a slight opening to drink it

[uncut bough]

the potion activates independently from food slots right? so if i eat 3 food i can still pop the potion and make a dash?

[fair cairn]

yes

[uncut bough]

then why even bother, isn't minor stamina potion is that but without the health debuff effect?

[fair cairn]

you cant how ever stack two frost resist potions

[uncut bough]

so why can't i just say minor stamina potion > tasty mead

[fair cairn]

well, the minor stam mead has a few minutes of cool down

[uncut bough]

so i can take both in tandem when i try to make a dash to safety? one after another?

[fair cairn]

i believe so
though i rarely use meads so i cant be 100% sure about health meads and stamina meads

[smoky quarry]

good for tree choppin`

[hot fern]

The best way to know is to try it out yourself, the ingredients are very worth for the sake of science 🙂

they're very situational and it depends on the player's style, i've never personally used tasty mead but i've seen others use it to great effect

imagine someone using the fenris armor + tasty mead + stamina mead to run through the mist, probably great if they don't get hit

[fallen zephyr]

I just watched a seeker work its way under a seeker soldier and lift the soldier off the ground when it went to fly.

[brisk rose]

Is there a better chest I can make than the simple chest? Or do I have to wait until iron?

[plush umbra]

Iron then black metal

[brisk rose]

Dang ok

[uncut bough]

Odin on his way to make the most vile creature and dump it in Valheim to torture player:

i wander a bit too close to the plain, like the area hasn't changed to plain, but just around the border of it, and somehow a deathsquito spawned and tried to suck my blood

[left lintel]

Is your profile pic actually you

[uncut bough]

luckily i scrambled to the bronze buckler just in time to stagger it

[brisk rose]

Obviously not lol

[left lintel]

I don’t believe you

[fallen zephyr]

The drop rate is not awesome, but you can get iron bars from destroying doors in Frost Caves in the mountains.

[brisk rose]

I'm not anywhere close to there yet LOL I'm getting ready to take on the black forest boss and then leave the island since this island only has Meadows and black forest

[left lintel]

Super Saiyans are real and they’re playing Valheim

@fallen zephyr I like your hair

[fallen zephyr]

Thank you. I stole it from Rihanna.

[languid root]

Trump version of Rihanna? Sounds sick

[fallen zephyr]

I like you. Don't compare me to Trump again... -_-

[languid root]

I genuinely thought your pfp was a picture of Trump

[rapid bison]

That would require more orange.

Wish I had some orange juice for breakfast.

[fallen zephyr]

Trump is the only person that I'm confident, if I ever met him in real life, that I would punch him in the face as hard as I could, and then rub his horrible orange spray tan off my knuckles onto his faux-expensive suit.

[plush umbra]

That’s a rough way to talk about a sneaker salesman

[fallen zephyr]

Can you really proclaim to be sneaking when your shoes are some gaudy, gold abomination?

Also, why is everyone rocking pink flowers? I've clearly missed something.

[plush umbra]

You might be able to find some

[opal prairie]

Smiffe went on a planting spree.

[fallen zephyr]

Oh ok, I thought it might be something important.

[plush umbra]

Oooo I’m telling smiffe you said he’s not important

[opal prairie]

Why don't you join us?

[fallen zephyr]

Oh god, this is like high school all over again.

[languid root]

High school? Aim lower

[fallen zephyr]

High school in Australia is 12-17 yr olds. Does that make any difference?

[opal prairie]

Were you always picked last in gym class?

[languid root]

It's approx the same everywhere

[fallen zephyr]

No, I was an excellent athlete in my teens. The issue was that my hobbies were only popular 20 years after I loved them.

[opal prairie]

The odd one out?

[languid root]

Hmm.. i can only come with some way too stupid jokes. What hobbies are you talking about?

[fallen zephyr]

Let's just say if D&D actual-plays were popular in 1990, I'd have been a god among men. 😛

[languid root]

Also being an excellent athlethe and picked last hurts much more

[fallen zephyr]

I resemble that remark!

[languid root]

Ah ok, i think i got it now. 20 years ago it was reffered to with a 4 letter word starting with n

[opal prairie]

or a g.

[candid basalt]

Noob?

[plush umbra]

Newt or gewt

[fallen zephyr]

I feel you, but I like being called a nerd. It implies an expertise, but one that some folk feel is uncool.

[candid basalt]

Twenty years ago was 2004, nerds were in power then

[languid root]

Neck or guck

It's valheim chat

[timber sky]

i thought trolls are easy, nvm, i saw two stars one

[fallen zephyr]

Valheim is where viking nerds go

[languid root]

I meant 20 years before he was talking about

[candid basalt]

Aha!

[opal prairie]

So 1984 the glorious year I was born.

[toxic rose]

He also easy, just don't try to parry, or you will die

[languid root]

Dystopian

[opal prairie]

Orwellian.

[fallen zephyr]

Archipelligan.

[opal prairie]

Hey that sort of rhymes with Gilligan.

[fallen zephyr]

"Gilligan's Archipelago" would have been a very different show.

[uncut bough]

is there a way to emote in game?

i saw some Valheim players have it, but i can't seems to use it

[left lintel]

Use chat commands

[left lintel]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Emotes

[timber sky]

yeah but it takes soo long to kill him, when other peeps coming

[fallen zephyr]

Least favourite environ? - For me, it's the Plains at night. Fulings, Seekers, and Ticks. Getting them all at once is troublesome.

[toxic rose]

Mistlands, for someone who plays without sound, it is very painful not to see anything.

[fallen zephyr]

Why do you play without sound?

[odd marsh]

Why no sound?

[plush umbra]

Did yall forget some people can’t hear anyway

[odd marsh]

Oh

[rustic schooner]

might be born without ears and trying to save power, commendable really for the environment

[fallen zephyr]

It's far more likely someone is priortising podcasts, or Spotify, or something over being deaf. Don't be that guy.

[odd marsh]

Well he did say play without sound xD

[toxic rose]

Because I connect my headphones to notebook (not to pc) and listening/watching something else

[odd marsh]

I do that aswell but i have both the bgm of valheim playing and spotify xD

[fallen zephyr]

My PC supports more than one sound channel, but ok... 😛

[rustic schooner]

look at this guy over here with multiple sound channels. modern day Rothschild

[plush umbra]

My pc may support more than one but my brain does not

[fair cairn]

deaf people exist?!

oh shit guess im a flower now.

[plush umbra]

Ha flower biscuit

[rapid bison]

Wonder how many people are losing their minds at already exploring the Ashlands biome. Worrying about the update is the least of their problems, since they won't see the new biome in their save.

[odd marsh]

Alot

[uncut bough]

it is always "thrlling" when cutting down pine trees in Black Forest and suddenly a skelly with shield and sword sneak up on my back

when that thing comes into my FOV i just insticntively press Jump, sprint and W at the same time

and then equip the bronze club + shield to give it a fair fight

[odd marsh]

Oh sup dog hows the playthrough going xD i assume you have conquered the skellywags xD

[uncut bough]

nah they still give me a beating

[frigid gust]

Dodge rolling is your friend 😉 And blunt weapons.

[odd marsh]

Dem damn skellywags xD

[uncut bough]

jokes aside, yea i have gotten troll armor, shield and the bronze club

[odd marsh]

Hmm nice

[uncut bough]

so the skeletons are now easy pickings, i have swept through all dungeons on the black forest on my side of the map

i havent visited the black forest in the elders location though

[frigid gust]

Make sure you keep an eye out for a pouch icon when exploring the Forest. It's a good place to visit if it pops up.

[uncut bough]

the bronze club was very handy in giving the skeletons 1-2 hit, and the bronze buckler made short work of their attack

and even if they get to hit me, i take less damage than before so now skeletons are trivial, troll are not yet though

idk if i can even parry the troll, given its massive size

[frigid gust]

Trolls resist your mace, but they're weak to piercing damage. Bows, Spears and Atgeirs are good for them, but they also take neutral damage from spears and axes. You should be able to parry them with a fully upgraded bronze buckler.

[uncut bough]

fully upgraded?? no wonder i keep taking massive damage even if i try to parry

[frigid gust]

Yeah, trolls hit hard 😉 That's why I usually use an atgeir... secondary spin attack stuns them and they can get stunlocked with just regular attacks following

[uncut bough]

spin attacks stuns them? finally a viable way to farm troll for armor upgrade

[frigid gust]

Yeah, atgeir is OP if you learn how to use it. It won't help much against the big enemies in the Swamps, but it's a great weapon in general throughout most of the game

But you want to get good at dodge rolling... avoiding all damage is often better than parrying

[uncut bough]

i find dodge rolling clunky, not only do i hold block and then press WASD, it also takes quite a lot of mana and sometimes it doesnt even help dodging the attack

not in the sense of game design clunky, just that i am not that fast at doing coordination between keys like that to do 1 specific action

[odd marsh]

U gotta time it properly for the I-frames

I just panic roll sometimes, it helps if you ask me xD

[uncut bough]

i just panic hold shift + W + jump all the times

[frigid gust]

You block and hit jump to dodge roll. WASD just chooses which way you roll, it shouldn't take much stamina at all.

[odd marsh]

I commend your boldness for jumping into the attack 🫡

[uncut bough]

that is where u r wrong, i rotate the camera to the opposite direction of the attack

otherwise i would have just keep spamming attack

[odd marsh]

AH a tactical retreat, wellplayed indeed

[timber sky]

dodge is there for a reasonn, fast n good, dodge when u hear the troll doing his attack

[uncut bough]

anyways, a few hours later i will start fighting the elders

[timber sky]

btw is it worth mining down like in minecraft with pic?

[frigid gust]

No. There is an 8m +/- limitation to any ground changes in Valheim. It can be good for defenses like moats and walls, but not for any kind of exploration

[timber sky]

damn, i thought im gonna be diamonds rich

[frigid gust]

We're vikings, not dwarves 😉

[timber sky]

day 40, still no bronze or some

idk where to find copper, ik its in black forest

but only big Stone not copper eh

[uncut bough]

Copper ore is hard to find but easy to spot, just find a patch of green-grayish protruding boulder, most likely it is copper

and when you are close enough, you point ur crosshair at it and the game will guide ur hand and say "Look no further, for here is copper"

[frigid gust]

Look at the huge stones, when you look directly at it it will say "Copper Deposit" or something like that, whereas regular rocks have no overlay. It's got shiny little veins in it.

[light moat]

I must be some lucky guy then, I find copper all over the place lol

[frigid gust]

It is all over the place 😉 It's just easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for.

[candid basalt]

Also, dig all the way down, copper deposits are HUGE

[ivory badger]

My heart…

😦

[frigid gust]

There are a couple friendly dwarves 😉 But we do not live under the ground

[odd marsh]

xD

[candid basalt]

I would if I could, but making under stone caves is hit or miss

[frigid gust]

Castles, not caves. Sheesh. 😛

[brisk rose]

Is there a better bow I can make?

[odd marsh]

yes ofcourse

[frigid gust]

Better than what? The crude bow? Yeah... you need new materials though 😉 As you get new things you unlock new stuff to build. If you can't build something better now, you probably need some new materials. Use your new tools and things to gather them. Maybe use a new metal axe to cut down trees that were previously saying they were too hard to chop...

[brisk rose]

Yeah I have fine wood now I would think I would have access to a better bow by now

And ya better than crude bow

[odd helm]

have you collected core wood yet?

[brisk rose]

Been had it ya

[timber sky]

tyy

[odd helm]

hm, double check your workbench then

you should've unlocked the recipe by now

[regal spoke]

It's what rock to use as a cave being key. Could dig a hole and spawn a large flat rock as a cap

[candid basalt]

Well yeah, spawning makes it easy, but finding the right rocks in the wild is hit or miss

[regal spoke]

Then black forest and plains are the only potential biomes where these rocks exist. Bf being the most optimal

[brisk rose]

I checked nothing

[odd helm]

hrm

[candid basalt]

Don’t have to tell me how to golf with greylings. I was responding to not being dwarf and living underground

[brisk rose]

My ship disappeared somehow to wtf

[odd helm]

bring finewood, corewood and deer hide to your workbench

something should unlock

[fair cairn]

could his workbench be too low level?

[odd marsh]

must be

[brisk rose]

Workbench is level 4

[odd helm]

crafting level for it is 1

[odd marsh]

huh weird

[odd helm]

just a sanity check, you're using the crude bow, right?

not the finewood bow?

[brisk rose]

Ya

[odd helm]

roger

[brisk rose]

That worked

[odd helm]

nice~

[odd marsh]

nice

[fair cairn]

how it be level 4 though

[odd marsh]

its level 1 bench to craft it it says on the left of the crafting recipe

[regal spoke]

I've found multiple historical references showing vikings did dig their homes in. Not underground but eh. I do rock builds on every run

[fair cairn]

no i mean he has a level 4 workbench and had been using a crude bow for well, 4 biomes

[candid basalt]

I like underground homes too

[odd helm]

level 4 only needs bronze

[candid basalt]

4 biomes ??

[odd helm]

level 5 needs mountains materials

[regal spoke]

I like the challenge of making it not feel like I'm under a rock

[fair cairn]

pretty sure the level 4 workbench needs iron and obsidian?

[candid basalt]

Yeah level 4 workbench is before swamps

[fair cairn]

wait i missed a upgrade?

[odd marsh]

he must be still in blackforest

[odd helm]

remember that a base workbench is level 1

[odd marsh]

so 3 upgrades

[odd helm]

• tanning rack + chopping block + adze makes 4

• toolshelf to all that for 5

[candid basalt]

deleting my redundant comment

[fair cairn]

hmm, wellp when i tried upgrading my root armor i couldnt due to workbench and then built a toolshelf to upgrade the workbench but i was probably seeing the workbench level as the level required for the upgrade to level 4 isntead of its current level

[paper marsh]

Are axes the only weapon that you can make in each biome?

[odd marsh]

yep

spear aswell i think

[fair cairn]

and sword and atgeir and knives

and battleaxes

[odd marsh]

wait we have knives for the swamp?

[fair cairn]

well, the razor knive is iron level

its the next step up from the bronze knive

[odd marsh]

ahhh that one

[brisk rose]

If I build out of stone and use the core wood supports it won't inhibit my building at all compared to building with regular wood would it?

[fair cairn]

though you could get the razor knive eariler than swamp

[odd helm]

you can't support stone with corewood, but you can support corewood with stone

[brisk rose]

Ok

[odd marsh]

Stone makes it grounded

[odd helm]

if you build from terrain with stone as your main support, then build further up with corewood, it'll give your corewood max support

[brisk rose]

You can't build high up with stone?

[brisk rose]

Ok

[fair cairn]

i think you can build up high with stone but you need iron beams

[odd helm]

you can extend stone further up with ironwood, but it's expensive

aye

[fair cairn]

and they need to be grounded

[paper marsh]

there's no meadows atgeir/sword

[fair cairn]

well, in the next biome there is

though there is no silver atgier

[paper marsh]

Yea but I mean every biome/tier

Yea atgeir def has gaps.

I didn't think there was a black metal spear either?

[fair cairn]

so knives, battle axes and spears and swords i guess

[urban fulcrum]

Is there no flint sword???

[fair cairn]

well shit, no spear?

[odd helm]

negative

[brisk rose]

Oh nvm can't build out of stone till I get iron

[urban fulcrum]

this is just like the time I found out birch seeds aren’t real

And that my mods are just that convincing

[fair cairn]

also i thought health with no food is 25 and not 24

[paper marsh]

From what I'm gathering knives and axes are the only ones you can get in every biome

[urban fulcrum]

And that’s only if you wanna count abyssal knives

[fair cairn]

no sword from meadows up in every tier?

[paper marsh]

true. I think it counts tho as it is iron-tier and can be gotten once you reach swamp

[urban fulcrum]

WAIT CLUBS

[paper marsh]

isn' there only like 2 clubs?

[fair cairn]

that razor is iron tier

[urban fulcrum]

Wood Club > Bronze Mace > Iron Mace > Frostner > Porcupine > idk whats the mistlands club

[fair cairn]

the rest of the "clubs" are war hammers

[odd helm]

Demolisher if you count 2H hammers

that said, Mistlands knife is also 2H

[light moat]

Stagbreaker too

[urban fulcrum]

Boom

[fair cairn]

wouldnt that be a sword then?

[urban fulcrum]

Yet again proving that clubs are the best weapon

[paper marsh]

ah, interesting. Never used 2h hammers. But I guess that's still only clubs for meadows, swamp, mountain, and mistlands?

[odd helm]

dual knives, not a single 2h 'knife'

[urban fulcrum]

No, you get two knives

[paper marsh]

skipping BF and Plains

[light moat]

Frostner is 4th tier club
Edit: oops! You said that

[fair cairn]

oh, makes sense

[urban fulcrum]

ALTHOUGH a biggoron blade would be nice

[left lintel]

what happens if you put two portals with the same name facing each other and then walk through them?

[odd marsh]

youll never escape it

[left lintel]

infinite loop?

[odd helm]

gonna test this rq

[left lintel]

same

[urban fulcrum]

You can’t place them that close sorry :(

[odd marsh]

ill just way for the resu-

[urban fulcrum]

You could try to place them near enough that maybe it’ll catch a friend off guard say you can layover them to the mistlands or something

[fair cairn]

or you rename one that leads to mistlands to something like Swamp

[odd marsh]

or break it afterwards xD

[urban fulcrum]

Or you kill them

[fair cairn]

that would require freindly fire be on

also there is no actual silver axe except for the battleaxe which is a different type of weapon

[odd marsh]

2H axe

[left lintel]

tested it and it didnt work

[odd marsh]

ah damn

[left lintel]

it might work if you got the placement just right but idk

[toxic rose]

After you exit from dungeon you couldn't enter to portal in few seconds (even when you will be inside), so, probably with 2 portals with be something like this

[light moat]

Wow, the dark wood pieces are absolutely beautiful! Just another testament to how amazing the building in Valheim. That is some great content right there!

Tar being 1) interesting to obtain and 2) very plentiful is very nice as well

[toxic rose]

... it's very annoying, the damn black slimes...

[odd marsh]

getting hit by 2 of them is like the death penalty xD

[toxic rose]

• they have movespeed debuff, so you couldn't escape on low hp

[light moat]

I haven’t had too much trouble with them yet, but I also had some pretty good gear when I first encountered them?

[raven heron]

bro who tf balanced tar pits

[light moat]

Also, the Frostner seems pretty good against them.

[toxic rose]

If you don't die during the swing...

[odd marsh]

the claws are pretty good against them aswell

well max level that is, xD even had the full set on lol

[lusty coral]

I prefer hitting them with ranged

[light moat]

I’ve been doing well against them in full silver plate maxed out, seems to be getting the job done.

[gray nexus]

bow and move side ways, tar growths are easy to deal with bow

[light moat]

I’m curious, do fire arrows do like 20x damage or insta kill them? 🤔

[gray nexus]

why has everyone got flowers lol

[odd marsh]

its from teh church of spring with Father Gerome

[toxic rose]

Yes, because their attacks are too much of a throwback that you can't go to them.

[gray nexus]

I just cleared a few pits the other day coz I was out of tar, they're fun sorta

[toxic rose]

Scare people who have allergies.

[odd marsh]

pollen allergies?

[paper marsh]

I made the mistake earlier of leading surtling to a tar pit in order to witness a great battle

Little did I consider that surtlings and Growths are from the same faction and I just put a fire enemy who can almost one shot me together with a tar enemy that can almost one shot me AND apply fire weakness to me 😭

Luckily they have bad aim

[light moat]

I think they’re a nice addition to the plains, gives something more to do than raid fulings lol

[buoyant panther]

Yeah, Growths are friendly to swamp things. I once thought to lead an abomination to them, only to find I just had more enemies 😄

[gray nexus]

Plains are still kinda "plain" compared to other biomes tho

[toxic rose]

Especially to mistlands... I hate climbing... In mountains it was much easier

[paper marsh]

Yeah I think growths and surtlings are the same faction and swamp is a different undead faction but they’re allied with each other. I learned earlier tho that allied factions can hurt each other (had a surtling shoot a draugr)

[vocal rivet]

You've answered your own question then.

[light moat]

Sadly, I agree with you 100% 😅 I think plains could use just a little love!

[gray nexus]

[light moat]

However, I’ve yet to check out sealed towers, which I’m pretty excited about.

[vocal rivet]

Surtling are demon faction and growths are undead

[gray nexus]

the other day i came up on this village, it wasn't even a proper village, no towers. More like a camp, but it had 4 beserkers when the other 2 villages I cleared that day didn't have any lol

[paper marsh]

It’s a bit unfortunate that plains doesn’t have anything unique exciting to find other than boss altar / summoning times

Grinding for a light armor set or finding those elusive dungeons is not a plains moment

[odd marsh]

ahhh its those berserker camps

[vocal rivet]

Tar is a pretty unique resource.

[paper marsh]

Ah interesting. So that means they prob can hurt each other if you get them caught in each others crossfire?

[vocal rivet]

I believe so, but won't attack each other.

[odd marsh]

i had a hard time clearing those xD

[paper marsh]

Tar pits feel very common though. I don’t feel a sense of “yes I finally found one” when I come across a tar pit

[gray nexus]

I abuse bow with how high leveled my skill is, it wasn't troublesome, just surprising

[paper marsh]

Yea bow broken. I’ve been enjoying my bow-less run, spear is a lot of fun when I don’t throw them away and forget about ‘em

[odd marsh]

I melee them like a feral viking that i am

[light moat]

A lot of what plains has to offer is very geared toward base-building, which is definitely neat! New crops, new tame, tar/darkwood. It fills a niche for sure. I really think adding some sort of miniboss would do it some good.

[paper marsh]

Tbh tho fang spear taking away half the health of a fuling and staggering them on Very Hard is hella nice

[toxic rose]

How you kill dragons? Or just ignore them?

[paper marsh]

Throw spears

[odd marsh]

the pure dread after missing xD

[gray nexus]

proceeds to yeet the spear off the mountain

[light moat]

Now I’m imagining the ||Night King killing dragons with his ice spears|| <Game of Thrones major spoiler

[paper marsh]

Just can only throw one in each attack cycle of the dragon. If I throw more I’ll end up missing and throwing it off the mountain. And won’t throw at a dragon on the side of a cliff bc the spear will drop to the ground after hitting and slide down the mountain

[toxic rose]

Do spears in the late game also have weird ballistics or close to bow level?

[paper marsh]

Idk what weird ballistics means but spears don’t get as powerful as bows thankfully. With upping bow skill you get like 4-5x the dps where spear is only like 2.4x the dps

Long range engagements are rough with spear so I do a lot of close range shenanigans

Also made a frostber but it feels so ugh to use compared to my spears. Really started liking fast attack speed weapons

[gray nexus]

I am so used the bow that even in melee range, I just use the bow. It really is very strong once you level up the skill.

I kinda miss the parry and club combo a bit ngl

[paper roost]

was about the time 🙂

[paper marsh]

Yea bow is busted even in close range it used to be my go to but the game just gets so boring for me doing that

[paper roost]

btw hi all

[gray nexus]

I don't do much combat, so it's fine for me

builder life

[paper marsh]

I’ll say tho since plying no bow and no map/portals I’ve had to get real creative with some Strats and it’s a ton of fun. I can’t believe the only 3 land serpents I’ve killed I’ve killed without a harpoon. And that never would have happened if I just had a bow to shoot them down in the ocean

[toxic rose]

The first spears require you to raise the cursor halfway to the screen to hit the target.

[light moat]

Speaking of, any progress to share in your build?

[paper marsh]

Hmmm I wanna say they don’t change much if any but not sure. They’re gonna be close range weapons first, not like a bow

[gray nexus]

not really, haven't been playing much for a bit

The house is still as is, the factory I tore down twice and built the third time now, walls aren't there on it still, just floor

I have so used so much iron for this thing

Hours of crypting, gone

[paper roost]

yeah, the need of iron if you build something tall and bigg-ish is enourmous

[paper marsh]

Not gone, put into building

Gonna have to raid mistlands once crypts are empty

[gray nexus]

still, like I have used like 400 iron already for this

given 90 of that went into blast furnaces, still

[paper roost]

if you in mistlands, the bridges gives solid numbers

[gray nexus]

Metal not falling off the blast furnace slide was bit of problem though while doing this, decided to build shutters to push the metal off

[gray nexus]

haven't beaten yagluth yet, hoping for a few more fuling raids before I do

I need blackmetal, a lot of it

[paper roost]

i see

[paper marsh]

You raid the sealed tower yet?

[paper roost]

they are mostly on the shore, if you want just materials, you dont have to beat him

[paper marsh]

I’d assume getting that raid in the pool would give good black metal gains too

[gray nexus]

my base is built around that, haven't returned the chests yet tho so no raids

[gray nexus]

oh?

[paper marsh]

Well get returning!

[gray nexus]

I am unsure if returning will remove the boss from other towers, tbh

[paper roost]

you can just sail around the mist, if you see the viaduct, just stop for a bit, tear it down and load the ship

[gray nexus]

will check it out next time I play

[paper roost]

its also smelted, so easy loot

[gray nexus]

[paper marsh]

I’m hoping to find a sealed tower but on no map it’s a struggle

What enemies are in the Hildrs frost cave raid? Any chance for fenris hair?

[gray nexus]

i can't imagine playing no map or portal xd

[paper marsh]

Tbh I never thought I’d play it but got invited to a server for it and it’s not bad tbh. Makes things interesting

[paper roost]

yes, its like normal cave, just with * enemies and boss and worse visibility

[gray nexus]

oh it'll definitely be interesting, well idk about portal but no map definitely sounds nice

[paper marsh]

Talking about the raid

I don’t think any enemies drop fenris hair anyways I’m just being randomly hopeful

[paper roost]

ah, no fenris hair, same enemies

[gray nexus]

iirc it's cultists and fenrings in that raid with other enemies, dunno about ulv

[light moat]

Gotta say, I always laugh when I see black metal… it’s green? Why not green metal? Lol

[plush umbra]

So fenris hair is a finite resource?

[gray nexus]

yes

[brazen vale]

yep!

[plush umbra]

Maybe that’s just the highlight like Superman’s hair and Spider-Man’s suit in the old comic books

Everyone thought it was blue when it’s just blue highlighting black

[paper roost]

absolutely

[plush umbra]

Ooof I won’t be wearing any on our server then. I’ll let someone else like snail die with it

[paper marsh]

I did wander around the mountains a bit and got 7 hair. It’s hard to come by

[plush umbra]

Snail doesn’t die though he’s a valgod

[paper roost]

why do you think i didnt like the .5 resources, imagine if everybody wants fenris set on multiplayer, its mb even not possible with several people

[languid root]

It's sooo entirely black that even green a bit. It doesn't reflect any light whatsoever so you have to imagine it by yourself. You prefer green, so do I

[long jolt]

Just a random concept - how many seasoned Valheim players here would try a class-progression vanilla server inspired by the LOTR journey?

Everyone gets to focus on their skillset and YES!, this means a single archer, lol

[plush umbra]

They’d just end up getting it deleted 99% of the time anyway

[paper roost]

idk what LOTR is

[languid root]

Gandalf just picking dandelions till mistlands?

[merry pebble]

lord of the rings

[paper roost]

ah, thx

me and shortcuts, not working at all 😄

[long jolt]

Lol yeah

[brazen vale]

gandalf would farm turnips too surely

[merry pebble]

poor guy who gets to be Boromir XD

[languid root]

Boaramir

[long jolt]

Boromir would get the fenris set!

Full assassin mode

[merry pebble]

no no no, he would die XD

[languid root]

He would die and somebody will inherit his fenris set

[long jolt]

Well, it's not a roleplay concept - class progression with a hint of "boil em, mash em"

[brazen vale]

stick em in a stew!

[merry pebble]

and you need one bad guy that will be using maces and one enemy wizard 😄

[languid root]

And a huge eye 👁️

[long jolt]

If only Draugr raid raids became a thing

Who steal your boat/loot

[languid root]

Pick your class. I am a huge eye. I will increase depth of field as i progress

[plush umbra]

Valheim but the sea level is raised 10m

I guess all flint would be unreachable

[languid root]

Tin as well

[long jolt]

Damn, a lack of flint will keep you in the stone age

[hidden gorge]

false

[languid root]

A lack of tin will fs

[long jolt]

Oh I see? The workbench ain't all that important long term?

[fair cairn]

oh yea for the workbench upgrade

[hidden gorge]

I bet you could skip to iron without tin -- might be a little tricky, but doable

[merry pebble]

you can get flint from chests iirc 😉

[long jolt]

I was thinking Mistlands would give you all the metals. Oh yeah, flint in chests

[paper roost]

you can find flint somewhere else 😛

[fair cairn]

isnt it also flint in those barrels in BF that you break?

[paper roost]

randomly, yes

[merry pebble]

i think it can be there

[fair cairn]

well yes randomly

[paper roost]

the progress would be absolutely different if that happend

[fair cairn]

dont those barrels also randomly drop ore?

[paper roost]

they do, yes

i actually like that idea, just forbid to pick up flint and tin challenge

[urban fulcrum]

IMAGINE YOU STEP OUTSIDE

and see a fucking CLUSTER of dragurs just stealing your longship

[long jolt]

Fists only run lol

[paper roost]

been there already 😄

[urban fulcrum]

a mod that adds mistlands mist to EVERY biome

[long jolt]

Have any seasoned players tried a class-progression server before?

I like the idea of building a single combat skillset in Valheim and working as a team

[long jolt]

Mistheim

[paper roost]

it would be good challenge, but it would also kill my eyes in no time

[stoic canyon]

Is anyone playing valheim on xbox atm? What kinda state isit in?

[long jolt]

Oh, how so?

[urban fulcrum]

i uh, do restricted weapon runs sometimes, but actual classes aren't really possible

[paper roost]

its affecting my eyes more than anything in valheim, mb except storm in the mountains

[long jolt]

Damn yeah, well hopefully things can better at some point for you

[paper roost]

thx

[hidden gorge]

"what the devil" as I grab my tasty mead and krom. leave a niefl giant sized gash through the first one -- he's undead on the spot. toss an ooze bomb on the second, it just makes everything smell that much worse. I have to resort to the ballista behind the impenetrable dirtwalls loaded with black iron bolts "Tally ho lads" the projectile shreds two draugr in the blast, the thunderous sound summons yet another horde of graydwarfs. I pull out my trusty dagger and charge the last terrified rapscallion. his oozing innards will make a fine meal afterwards. just as the allfather intended

[urban fulcrum]

Lmao

[plush umbra]

^arrrt

[uncut bough]

I love me some sailing with my friends, and then shout battle stations when the serpent started chasing

[lusty crescent]

Valheim global warming

No more deep north

[languid root]

Why? It's even 10 m deeper now

[timber sky]

#building-screenshots good or no

[agile zenith]

Is there much point using frost arrows on seeker soldiers? If I am reading the frost effect correct it would only apply for 1.7 seconds..

[paper marsh]

I like it, it is a nice start!

[left lintel]

The bees are happy.

[uncut bough]

I tried the staghammer on the base near the bees and got stung

[paper marsh]

Frost arrows are great for mistlands. Does a ton of damage to Seekers/Seeker soldiers bc they're not immune to frost like they are physical damage.

Also if you have a bit of bow skill you shoot faster than once every 1.7 sec so you can keep the frost up on them until they're dead

Best arrows you can be using there I'm pretty sure

[timber sky]

43 days in...

[paper marsh]

look forward to seeing what you make by day 2000 😄

[timber sky]

imma be in this house still

2000 days.. idk

thats like 250 hours of playing

[paper marsh]

I'm 250-300 days in on my current server and I'm only reallyyyyyyy starting to set up a base now. Lived in and helped out a friend with a base for a little while but now I'm building something for myself

[agile zenith]

At least against seekers it should freeze for a while, but soldiers have so much HP that you do minimal damage which means the debuff lasts very little time

[timber sky]

im gonna try to beat Elder tommorrow

[agile zenith]

Should be more like 13s of freeze against normal seekers

[timber sky]

i forgot what power does he have

[paper marsh]

Helps you cut down trees 😈

Elder becoming what he sought out to destroy

[timber sky]

Bro rl? lol

im happy with my 3x cut to gain 10 wood

[paper roost]

elder power is the only one i never used 🙂

[paper marsh]

I love Elder power for my rare woodcutting sessions. Grinding trees can get boring

I'd say though he's the second most useless power. Only useful in one very specific situation and that situation doesn't arise too often (depending on your playstyle)

[paper roost]

second, really?

[paper marsh]

Yea I've never used Yag power. Doesn't EVER seem worth it to me to substitute an actually useful power to prevent using like one resistance potion

Maybe it will be useful for Ashlands if there's more lightning damage. But that remains to be seen

[paper roost]

i tried yag power, it still have at least some use, the elder is not for me

[paper marsh]

Bc you don't like grinding materials for frost/fire resist potions?

[paper roost]

i dont like grinding in general 😄

[paper marsh]

The thing about yag too is I feel is your time for getting stuff done is so limited. You have 5 minutes to do what you gotta do before you lose resistance. Whereas a stack of meads will keep you going for an hour and a half

[paper marsh]

I'm just curious because resistance meads seem so incredibly cheap to me so it doesn't feel like a grind

[night aspen]

Wich weapon do u guys use against Lox when reaching Plains first time? Since Frostner isn't that effective on them

[paper marsh]

whichever weapon I have levelled and is effective. Which right now would be my spear

I'd assume most use arrows

But I'd also assume most don't pick fights with lox much. More important things to do

[timber sky]

i wont kill elder then, ez, going for 3rd boss

[paper roost]

i m not saying i m using it normal base, but you can use it to safe the potions, i m mostly using only eiktyr or bonemass

[paper roost]

you need it for something else than the power

[timber sky]

what im gonna get?
diamond sword with power, maxed armor

[paper marsh]

yea I pretty much just use eitkhyr and bonemass too, with some Moders for transport and once in a while Elder for wood chop

[paper roost]

way to get most important material in the game 🙂

[paper marsh]

He drops an item you need if you wanna do pretty much anything in the next biome

[timber sky]

W answer, no spoilers. I respect it

[paper marsh]

If you haven't completed the game before I would not ever recommend straight up skipping a boss

[timber sky]

gonna watch some elder boss vids now, cya

[timber sky]

im new eh

died 1 time in 43 days, by discovering mountains

wolf could be a nice pet to have ngl

[paper marsh]

Wolves are very strong. They can be turned into pets tho if you know how

[timber sky]

WAIT THEY CAN?

[paper marsh]

mhm

[paper roost]

i would suggest not to watch too much in advance, unless you start to struggle with something

[paper marsh]

Discovery is truly the joy of valheim

[timber sky]

That was lil joke

but nah if u can have Wolf as a pet this game is goated

[left lintel]

wolves can also be turned into clothing if you know how

[paper marsh]

true!

Wolves can also be turned into boats if you know how

[left lintel]

but can they run doom?

[timber sky]

armor for mountains so u wont get freeze

w spoilers

[left lintel]

i go naked

im built different (i have frost resistance mead)

[timber sky]

i go naked, i have nothing. (to loose)

[paper marsh]

idk mountains still sound kinda cold naked

I go naked, I have nothing 😎

[paper roost]

i just feels like its wrong to be naked in the mountains 🙂

[timber sky]

Wolfs loves it

[paper marsh]

Are there any laws against being nude in the world of valheim?

[paper roost]

is it a serious question?

[rustic compass]

if its a lore reason probably

[paper marsh]

Just seeing if there's any legal reasons I shouldn't be running around naked

I don't know what the laws for this place is. I'm guessing Odin put some rules in place. Otherwise why would we be sent to take out some silly forsaken who are breaking the rules by becoming too powerful

[left lintel]

You could eat another bite.

[rustic compass]

I mean a troll is basically wearing a thong so idk about the rules if I'm being honest

[paper roost]

my favorite answer: only limitation in this game is your fantasy 🙂

[left lintel]

[modest topaz]

c older in my house than outside

75 today, supposed to be 35 tomorrow weeeee

[worn ledge]

I have a new fear

2 star soldiers

[uncut bough]

wait till you find 2 star sniper

[frigid gust]

Crossbow Dvergr?

[uncut bough]

just some dumb tf2 reference, move along

[paper marsh]

Better parry and crossbow them in the butt!

[near furnace]

Draugr with bow 👀

[worn ledge]

I was trying to parry but it was doing so much damage I dont think I could

and my attacks were doing absolutely nothing

[frigid gust]

I'm more scared of a Dvergr because I always accidentally aggro them because they're jerks 😛

[merry pebble]

just today i was mining skull in the dvergr mine/excavation site and one has fallen right into my swing XD died 2 times getting stuff back 🥲

[exotic cradle]

was funny to watch tho 👀

[toxic rose]

But they always angry if you try to steal their skull.

[merry pebble]

only if you don´t break the ward first (with cart for example as i learned from Samaramon 😄 )

[frigid gust]

There was a skull well outside their tower, but apparently the edge of it was close enough to be within their ward and it annoyed a whole group including a 2* fire mage. I wage war on the dwarves whenever I can since then 😛

[tardy horizon]

They're so annoyingly easy to aggro that peace with them stopped being a necessity and became more of commodity

https://tenor.com/view/tmnt-cowabunga-it-is-michaelangelo-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-gif-15971163

https://tenor.com/view/peace-was-never-an-option-chicken-axe-gif-14742763

No good Goose gifs for that quote 😛

[rare birch]

Finally ventured into mistlands. Shit was scary

[frigid gust]

Thunderstorm? Gjall? Or just Seekers so far? 😛

Gjall made me poo a bit the first time I found one, especially because it surprised me

Just all of a sudden angry Gjall noises

[rare birch]

So far only hares lol. I heard some freaky sounds. Should I make wisp torches and place them around?

[frigid gust]

Do you have the wisplight? You can make torches (they don't need a workbench to build) so that can work, but I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you're trying to get a farming area set up or something.

Build a few around in an area where you're mining or whatnot, and then take them down and move on

[rare birch]

Yes I have a wisplight. I just managed to grab some Yggdrasil wood and killed a couple of hares

There def was a thunderstorm. Is that common?

[paper marsh]

My first time In mistlands (together with a friend) we encountered a Gjall before we even landed on shore. Shit was scary

I ended up running deep into the mistlands to distract it while my friend got the boat turned around and befriended a ||dvergr|| 🤣

[frigid gust]

Somewhat, but it's the best one in the game and terrifying just by existing 😉 Not really dangerous itself, though. You will need to take on the seekers eventually, they're the source of materials you need. Also keep your eye out for both types of mushrooms, you can grow them only in the Mistlands and the yellow ones are the most important early on.

[rare birch]

It's just a small sliver so hopefully nothing big there

[frigid gust]

Could be a good place for a farming base at least. If you've got fire resist pots, a frostner and ooze bombs you should be pretty set against most enemies. Just be very judicious on your stamina usage.

[rare birch]

Ok thanks. I will make more fire resist and ooze bombs. Never used ooze bombs. Here is the section #screenshots

[frigid gust]

Oh man... yeah, that's perfect for farming. Set up a farm for both Plains crops and Mistlands 😉 Ooze bombs are good for groups of enemies, and Seekers resist all physical damage is why you might want a Frostner. Fire resist is for the Gjall and maybe if you annoy some Dvergr, you don't need it all the time.

[rare birch]

Frostner is my thing lol. I even have an official frostner key ring I made into a necklace

[brisk rose]

One of my pillars that's going all the way down to the ground is green going all the way up except for the last one it's red for some reason but it's attached to the rest of the pillar

[paper marsh]

the higher you go from the ground the less stable (red) the pieces become

[frigid gust]

A picture in #valheim-help would allow us to see what you're running into better, it's really hard to diagnose from a description

[brisk rose]

Apparently putting a ceiling over it was all I needed to make it yellow

[timber sky]

how long it takes to find a trader

[merry pebble]

depends how much are you looking for him

[paper marsh]

depends on luck. Can take quite a while. But if you're actively searching for him by sailing to and running through black forests it's not too bad

[light moat]

Vert RNG based

But yeah, it’s not too bad at all. Usually end up stumbling upon them.

[timber sky]

i keep discovering small black forest and then its just ocean

trolls, em annoying lil dudes, no trader

[merry pebble]

the "lil" can be very subjective it seems XD

[timber sky]

i might sell my coins to god

[urban fulcrum]

I’ll miss the walk and talks

[timber sky]

i killed many of em, still dont remember their names, cuz its literally a herogliph

[covert fox]

Ashland released?

[merry pebble]

not yet

[urban fulcrum]

Not yet

[paper marsh]

it being red doesn't really matter much. Only thing it matters for is if you wanna build stuff onto it, in which case it won't be able to support more pieces (trying to build onto it might make the pieces you're building fall down immediately)

[urban fulcrum]

They’re just done doing the walk and talks

[merry pebble]

they will be in first half of 2024

[covert fox]

So long time -.-

[urban fulcrum]

I’M taking it as PTB next month, so I’m either setting myself up to disappointment

[paper marsh]

depends on perspective

[urban fulcrum]

OR I’ll be super right and gloat constantly about it

[merry pebble]

only few months 😄 not really that long

[frigid gust]

Check into the id:customize section and add yourself to the News role and you'll get notified if anything important happens, or join other roles to get beta access if that's your thing

[covert fox]

Ok thx…

[urban fulcrum]

I mean if you compare it to mistlands

I know they have their reasons, but over a year is objectively a long time

[brisk rose]

Yeah I'm trying to build a ceiling it needs support I got another pillar this one is staying red I put a screenshot in

[urban fulcrum]

ESPECIALLY in the indie early access gaming sphere

[merry pebble]

oh please not this convo again... i am going to sleep since its midnight, somebody can take this for me...

[paper marsh]

hmm I wouldn't say a year is too bad for game development of an update

[urban fulcrum]

Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with it, take however long you want

[timber sky]

tmrw gotta be the most boring day in valheim for me..
Copper, bronze n other stuff, portals maybe? Elder boss, that tree skinny looking dude.
house renovation, wood farm.

I might forget all of these cuz im gonna be building random stuff cuz its satisfying lol

[covert fox]

Is there any pvp content in Valheim ? Tournament etc?

[tardy horizon]

Nope

[urban fulcrum]

There was a speed running contest earlier, and there’s some PvP servers out there

[frigid gust]

No PvP on anything official, and likely never will be. The game is designed around single player and cooperative multiplayer, the devs have no interest in doing anything around PvP

[urban fulcrum]

Do you think valhiem will have a resurgence come 1.0

[tardy horizon]

And I'm thankful for that, deeply

[covert fox]

Then i should find small pvp layers in Valheim xD

[tardy horizon]

No, the game finally releasing will probably have the exact opposite effect and die permanently.

||it surely will||

[urban fulcrum]

Idk, is valhiem gotten about in the larger gaming sphere?

[tardy horizon]

I read recently that BG3 reached +10M players, and that one was a huge success, and the game was release in ea on 2020 and only got to full release like six months ago

Makes you think on the very, very, very rare phenomenon of this game reaching that amount in weeks

[vocal rivet]

It's a completely different game.

[tardy horizon]

From a very popular genre

[vocal rivet]

Different genre.

[tardy horizon]

Especially considering survival craft is an oversaturated market

[frigid gust]

D&D is also a well established property with a ton of fans ready to buy almost anything related to it, or at least give it a chance. Not to knock Larian's efforts, but I've experienced a LOT more bugs in BG3 than I have in Valheim. It's still an amazing game, but it's a bit apples and oranges.

[tardy horizon]

Someone should make a thesis on valheim regarding marketing and game dev

[vocal rivet]

BG3 is not a survival craft game.

[vocal rivet]

15m players and growing says its fine.

[frigid gust]

I think Helldivers or Deep Rock Galactic would be a more apt comparison to Valheim. New IP, small developer without a ton of clout, coming out of nowhere and punching well above their weight class. It really comes down to just good game design at an accessible price and word of mouth supporting it. Do one thing and do it well, don't try to be everything to everyone.

[tardy horizon]

I know, I meant valheim.

Reaching +10M sales in a matter of weeks despite belonging to an oversaturated market would be hard to believe if it didn't happen

[vocal rivet]

I've completely lost your point now.

[tardy horizon]

On that regard yes, but those are also two different genres as well.

Although DRG and Valheim do have the same publisher

[tardy horizon]

That once every comet Halley a game reaches massive success despite the odds not being on its favor and valheim ended up being that game for out of pure chance

[frigid gust]

I don't think it's chance. I think Valheim executes on the concept better than every competitor, and in a more engaging way. Enshrouded, etc. all have come and gone, and don't maintain the kind of fanbase Valheim has.

[light moat]

When Valheim came out, I feel like everyone was talking about it lol.

[vocal rivet]

Every survival craft game out is STILL compared to it.

[timber sky]

smaller studios been making better games since AAAAAA devs

[near furnace]

youtube clickbait title in 2023 "Valheim killer" 🥲

[frigid gust]

Every Valheim killer seems to have a pretty dull knife or bad aim 😛

[timber sky]

u can literally see how smaller studios pays attention to their product, like Trepang, Valheim, Ready Or Not. Unlike AAA ones, uu graphics yeah lets go, fuck em physics, players gonna stare at the sky cuz its soo beautiful

[tardy horizon]

Question would be: How?

I do see the building mechanics are probably the best I've seen in a survival craft game, but what else? On that regard many survival craft games also have similar features to valheim and it still stood out.

Something worth noting as well is how atrocious this game was at launch, like, Valheim today is a hundred times better than launch valheim. From the terraforming being a performance killer, lots of great features present now but weren't before, etc. Today's valheim is much better than launch (terrible) valheim and it still managed success at that time

[light moat]

Valheim feels like it strikes a nerve that other survival games can’t seem to get quite right. Valheim is a near perfect blend of easy to understand, coziness, bad-assery, and many other things lol. But yeah, it is very interesting to think about.

[exotic cradle]

"atrocious" is a very strong word, really disagree

[timber sky]

discordians in love with this flower emoji

[frigid gust]

"Fun". The core gameplay loop is tuned just right to make it fun, and the building is satisfying. No other games really find that balance, they have spent a lot of effort making sure they don't add anything that isn't effective, useful and fun to the game.

A lot of success is not just everything you can add, but making smart choices about exactly what to add

[timber sky]

is this some kind of cult or wuh lol

[tardy horizon]

Maybe trees killing you had something to do with it...

Also the stability support, maybe decoration pieces being useful here as well when they're only decoration in other games

[near furnace]

Valheim did survive alleast 2 big game launches...
New world came and went, And also Tribes Of Midgard

[frigid gust]

Naah. I like lots of games, but I'm also a developer. I know talent and good design when I see it 😉

[tardy horizon]

That just makes it more surprising.

Although new world is a MMORPG, and idk much about tribes of Midgard.

[timber sky]

I have a question, how tf Valheim is soo highy compressed

[near furnace]

oh right. Icarus aswell

[tardy horizon]

Although from what I read about new world, people got disappointed and wanted an actual fun game and turns out valheim was there?

[light moat]

You’re a developer? 👀 what have you worked on?

For me and my friends, Valheim presented a fun challenge, and things were very intuitive. My group steered away from Ark due to the complexity. Minecraft is just all over the place, and we had already played Terraria to death.

[frigid gust]

The only game that's got more of my play hours than Valheim is Borderlands 2, and it's been a few years at this point that I played that one 😉

[tardy horizon]

A game launching at the same time as other games is only bad sometimes, it can benefit other games if it turns out terrible, especially if belonging to the same genre

[timber sky]

I got game called Turbo Overkill, pixelated, good lightning, effects etc, and its 6gb.
Meanwhile Valheim is 1gb and have Insane DOF, Bloom, Lightning, Reflections and other sht

[tardy horizon]

Full release or ea?

[frigid gust]

Not a game dev, more corporate. But I know enough to see what's going on behind the scenes and such.

[vocal rivet]

It's not. It relies on procedural generation, intentionally low polygon assets and heavy use of shaders. Oh, and no voice work.

[near furnace]

any kind of major release I'd say

[timber sky]

paying 20e for 1gb game where u can do almost everything IS kinda crazy

[light moat]

Oh, Valheim is also insanely pretty to look at. And people generally love simple graphics. They kinda combines the two, it’s perfect.

[tardy horizon]

Maybe people were craving for a good 3D survival craft game that had fun mechanics but couldn't find any.

The options at the time were ark, Conan exiles, craftopia, Icarus apparently...

[timber sky]

The bloom makes everything look cool in my opinion, ofc dof too

[tardy horizon]

Oh yeah, that too. Although performance was awful in comparison to how it is now tbh despite the smol size

Years of development surely paid off

[light moat]

Oh, and people simply love Vikings 🤷🏼‍♂️

[frigid gust]

Minecraft? But that's gotten overcomplicated for my tastes.

[timber sky]

I didnt knew and care enough about that at the first half, cuz i was too satisfied cutting em trees

[tardy horizon]

Minecraft is an old man that refuses to retire

[light moat]

Minecraft is also a fairly older game edit: stole my point lol

[tardy horizon]

It's over 12 years now, 14-15 if you count the earliest release

[tardy horizon]

How much marketing did valheim have before release?

I really only knew about the game after the success, not before

[timber sky]

The performance is really good.
I have 50gb. called Ready Or Not, swat slow paced tactical shooter. If u look around the map, or be long enough in it to get everything loaded, u can get crazy fps drop.

Valheim is like idk, probably all GTA worlds mixed at once. And fps is stable

[light moat]

Valheim’s price was/is very agreeable

Probably helped contribute to its success as well

[tardy horizon]

That too. Lots of factors being mentioned

[timber sky]

imagine 1e for 1gb game

[tardy horizon]

As I said,right now. Early days terraforming could easily kill FPS

[timber sky]

and then supporter edition for 30e, ez money

[timber sky]

how long it took for devs to fix "early days" valheim performane

[tardy horizon]

Weeks I think

[timber sky]

ron is about 2 months since release, got 3 hotfixes, performance is shittier

[tardy horizon]

Clearly got asked "ready or not (for release)" and they answered "yes" (it was not)

[timber sky]

true

[light moat]

So Valheim
-Looks beautiful (less is more)
-Viking themed, very popular
-engaging for new players
-simple gameplay loop
-has great and intuitive building mechanics
-has interesting and original designs, such as comfort
-has falling trees that kill you

Recipe for success!

[torn marten]

probably a long shot, but does anyone know of a way to pick map seed location to control where certain island POIs are located? i used to have a link to the full world map but I can't find it anymore. would be cool if we could have more control over the seed

[vocal rivet]

You can choose the seed when you create the world.

[near inlet]

THANK YOUUUU. this is my number one reason for coming back to this game again and again. there's no bloat

i'm praying it stays that way up to and following the full release

i used to feel that way about minecraft too and well, i certainly don't anymore 🙃

[near inlet]

it was pure word of mouth for me. Suddenly everyone on my steam friends list was playing it and i got on board the hype train

came out of nowhere

[exotic cradle]

Someone told me "you're gonna LOVE this game" and 3 years later......still here....

[silver shoal]

Ashlands when?

[ashen geyser]

first half of this year, top pinned msg

[silver shoal]

not good enough, must be now

[exotic cradle]

..Or else what

[pliant hatch]

Most likely throwing a tauntrum like so many do at the Steam forum when they claim "development is slow" and all that BS related to it.

[little spindle]

When is this update gonna come out

[odd helm]

Answered a couple messages ago

[pliant hatch]

Scroll 4 messages up and you'll see the answer

[little spindle]

Ooops

[heady cargo]

And is so fucking amazing in VR (and super simple to set up)

[crimson estuary]

It really is a good good game, very well thought out, challenging (to an extent), again, well thought out, and a sense of fulfilment. My only gripe is that these things could be expounded upon and that doesn't seem to be a priority. For instance, something to do with all those bone shards laying around, like an altar and prayer system, just stuff like that to more fully flesh the game out. But even as is, it's miles ahead of anything else to come out in quite a bit of time. You can tell the dev team had genuine enthusiasm rather than the greedy mindset of other companies that has pervaded the industry for god knows how long.

[pliant hatch]

Without trying to spoil too much, the boneshards will become useful again after you left the Black Forest.

One of the better things of this game is that items considered to be obsolete are sooner or later becoming useful again.

[crimson estuary]

Very good to hear. We just defeated the elder (nice mechanics, a little easy, but I heard it gets a bit more challenging). The fact that they considered this kinda stuff goes such a long way.

[pliant hatch]

is this your first playthrough?

[crimson estuary]

I can say that setting sail to find the Elder was one of the most esoteric moments we've had in a while. The dynamics of water mesh are amazing. We stood on a sandbar waiting for morning to set sail, with waves coming up to our necks at times, while it was storming. Yea, it's my first playthrough, it's been on the backburner for a while.

[pliant hatch]

In that case, take your time.
There's lot to explore, lots to discover and lots to gather.
Especially the last one can be giving the feeling the game is a big grind; even if you're with more players; but it'll be worth it.

My advise regarding that: don't focus too long on getting a certain resource. Instead devide your time into building, farming, exploration trips, hunting, resource gathering and preparation for the next biome.

[crimson estuary]

Yea for sure, we are milking it for all it's worth. Games like this don't come around every day! We're taking our sweet time on everything, and I actually really enjoy the grind. Makes it all that more meaningful. In example, we are aware that raids will get worse so today we'll spend a few hours getting our homestead ready for that, maybe stocking up on a few more meads (I've gathered inadvertently that poison resist might be important), and focusing on some more of the aesthetic type of things before we venture forth to the next chapter.

[urban fulcrum]

Light no fires seems interesting

[torn marten]

yeah i know that lol. I'm looking to move the seed around on the larger map. almost like that better continents mod where you can change all the terain. but not that extreme

[grand haven]

Wonder how much stuff their will be to collect like No Man's Sky. Endless treasure hunt

[crimson estuary]

I can say that Enshrouded was complete garbage, it's its only saving grace is that it cause me to give Valheim a chance, which I don't regret at all

[pliant hatch]

Best defense is to either raise a plateau, to build on an island - or better, raise a plateau on an island - to use a moat and palisade walls until you're able to craft stone walls.
Dirt walls with palisades on top of them work well too; but in general, a moat gives the same effect.
And there are enough tricks to make sure the player(s) can cross a moat, but the monsters can't.

[urban fulcrum]

even if valheim doesnt pop back off with 1.0, and i say this lovingly

who cares? this isn't cope, I get my full game

and the devs are done, good and satisfied, they got their good chunk of change from heim

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, I tried that game, and although it's intentions are good, what put me off was the constant chest respawning.
Made grinding for some resources to darn easy, a 6 month old todler could do it in its sleep.

[crimson estuary]

Yea and I built 50 health pots in 5 minutes after finding the alchemist, and they have no cooldown so if you are ever in trouble you can just spam a button and it's basically God mode, just stuff like that. All it had was good, albeit pointless, base building and a good art team

[tardy horizon]

And they can move on to new projects.

I'm almost sure after years of working on valheim they will get on to something more different, probably not even norse-related

[crimson estuary]

and the concept of the shroud was innovative, althugh, they botched the implementation of that too

[urban fulcrum]

i hope they do survival games still

valhiem has a really good framework for survival game mechanics

building system is nice, repairs are free, the death system is pretty fair, etc etc

[tardy horizon]

Depends, making another survival game when they have valheim on their back seems like a big bar to reach

[urban fulcrum]

well yeah, but they seem to know what's up

imagine if you will, an irongate game, where all the biomes are as thought out as mistlands or ashlands

they're a competent team, and if they just keep the basics of what makes valhiem work, hell even the same gameplay loop

of go to new location, struggle, master it, kill boss and move on

idk, my dream successor to valhiem is just greekheim, because like

greek mythology good

[tardy horizon]

Oh well on that part is true. I've thought of them using their past experience on valheim to create something that moves past beyond its limitations.

Imagine everything that isn't possible in valheim actually being possible in the new game while still maintaining the valheim feel

Semi valheim 2

[crimson estuary]

A God of War survival-crafting game

[urban fulcrum]

or hell, even without god slaying, you still got minotaurs, or medusa or whatever

[tardy horizon]

I've thought about this too, but Norse people making a Greek game doesn't seem right.

[urban fulcrum]

tbf, most of the stuff stays the same

[tardy horizon]

I've had an idea for a game I want to make that combines several mythologies in a single project but I still need years of experience before I even attempt to develop it

[pliant hatch]

There's enough mythology to use for a survival game.

I mean a game where you need to deal with a Hydra boss, a griffin or a chimera will be pretty challenging.
Can also go into Egyptian without forcing us to build a quazillion pyramids, but there's enough gods and demi-gods to be used as opponents.

[stiff shadow]

You probably need less than you think or need

[tardy horizon]

Considering the scope I'm aiming for I believe I do lol

[stiff shadow]

as someone who has done a lot of industry programming work and solo programming work i can tell you it's mostly down to how much time you put into something

[urban fulcrum]

an Egyptian based game where you sacrifice stuff to gods to appease them to keep the locusts away

[stiff shadow]

Scope is a quantity of effort not skill

[urban fulcrum]

Actually, wasn't Egypt like, big back when the romans were?

[pliant hatch]

No, before that.

[crimson estuary]

Don't you think that they should use Unreal Engine, not untiy?

[urban fulcrum]

I know Greeks predated rome for a while, but still

[stiff shadow]

Unity has a smaller barrier to entry

[urban fulcrum]

isn't unity the easier one to learn?

[stiff shadow]

Sort of like saying "Why learn to ride a bike when rocket powered unicycles exist"

[crimson estuary]

Yra, it's really high level programming but much more limited, C-Sharp is Java from microsoft

[pliant hatch]

Pharaoh's and the like were ruling over Egypt before Alexander the Great conquered Egypt.
And eventually his empire got defeated by the Romans

[urban fulcrum]

idk, my only experience "gamedevving" is RPGMaker

[tardy horizon]

They should stick to unity, they have the experience already. Restarting all the knowledge for a new engine seems unnecessary work

[urban fulcrum]

so we could have our greekgyptian game

[stiff shadow]

Based off the history of the place, the entire PEOPLES of eygpt have been displaced twice

[pliant hatch]

Unless the Unity engine doesn't give them all they want and they decide to create their own engine instead.
Wouldn't be the first studio doing that.

[tardy horizon]

That's essentially the game I want to make. But put Norse and maybe two or three more cultures to it as well

[pliant hatch]

As long as you make sure it doesn't look too much at Titan Quest.

[crimson estuary]

It's probably the best game ever made with Unity, I just find Unity to be very limiting, you can't even use pointers

[urban fulcrum]

Given enough time, gamers will rediscover TES

[tardy horizon]

Oh a custom engine would certainly be much worse.

Sticking to unity is really the best option

[stiff shadow]

Tarkov or Satisfactory are objectively two of the best unity games

[urban fulcrum]

TARKOV IS UNITY???

[stiff shadow]

Why do you think it's SO DAMN SLOW

[crimson estuary]

I didn't dig Satisfactory, I loved factorio, but something about satisfactory just couldn't keep me occupied

[tardy horizon]

me thinking that the camera was going to be isometric

Oh of course, why would I do that? Haha... Ha...

[urban fulcrum]

i've never played tarkov

[crimson estuary]

o

[tardy horizon]

Satisfactory is unreal

[crimson estuary]

Yea it is. Makes sense, they had to use pointers I'd say

[stiff shadow]

at any rate unity is way faster to develope or deploy in

That's where the advantages stop

[tardy horizon]

Unity is much more user-friendly. I've been told unreal pretty much tells you that you should know what to do

[crimson estuary]

Yea, that's what I'm saying, Unreal provides for much more throughput

But requires much more knowledge

[stiff shadow]

Unity offers several ways to do the same things, with varying rates of success, unreal you either do it proper or not at all

Like the "Tag" feature in unity, Why does it exist

[crimson estuary]

I can do shaders, meshes, textures, animations in Blender, and I can code pretty well in Csharp and Python, but tell me to do some binary data structures in C++ and I'm off to the gas station to grab a beer

tbh I know where the devs are coming from lol. But was just saying, I'd like to see the sequel done in Unreal

[pliant hatch]

Guess I'll meet you there, because last time I did some programming, the only available languages were Basic and DOS........

[crimson estuary]

Haha, yea I feel you, batch files ftw

[pliant hatch]

Except by the time you walk in, I'm most likely pissed drunk. 😄

[crimson estuary]

Drunk is the best way to play Valheim anyway

[pliant hatch]

I dunno.

Every time I aim at the left troll of the two it seems the one on the right hits me.

Or the other way around.

[crimson estuary]

I thought there was three trolls there lol

[pliant hatch]

I'm waiting for the moment I have to deal with triplets, as I'd simply aim at the center one and know I've got the right one

[crimson estuary]

or bring a hoe and nerdpole

[pliant hatch]

Why would I bring my ex-GF and the cross I nailed her at?

No wait, don't answer as that's most likely R-rated. 😄

Back to game advise. 🙂

And a slight warning, since you defeated The Elder, be aware the next biome is going to be a real learning curve.
Harder enemies, more annoying when it comes to stamina drain and side effects.
You will also need to start cheesing the boss fight a bit by adjusting the area.

But for now, concentrate at making your base "raid proof". And as said, a moat with palisade walls will help a lot.
Use the core wood beams to measure about 8M deep, then put the palisades on top of the area and you're pretty safe for the oozers.

[crimson estuary]

That sounds perfect actually. I was hoping the challenge would escalate a bit, and I love making arenas thanks to Terraria, thanks for the heads up

[pliant hatch]

The Swamp is the first real challenge this game offers due to the weather effects. The Plains is the one with the first real annoying monster with the fitting name "DEATHsquito"; the Mistlands is the first real annoying area when it comes to dealing with the surroundings, as it's the first spot where you need to rely at your ears, instead of your sight. And need to slow down your movement speed.

So, if you're able to survive the swamp, the other biomes will be a challenge, but nothing you won't be able to overcome with some patience.

[crimson estuary]

For sure, nothing is to challenging, hell, we've put people on the moon for chrissake. If anything a lot of games these days are too boring and easy. Valheim find a good medium. (wanting to play kerbal now tough). I'm out my brother is off work so were about to get on it. Thanks for being awesome, nice to meetcha

[stiff shadow]

My issue is finding a group to play valheim with

[pliant hatch]

You could try here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[stiff shadow]

I have, plenty of times

I keep running into the same issues each time

[pliant hatch]

You're welcome.
Enjoy the game.

It's certainly worth the time you invest into it.

[pliant hatch]

Which issue?

[stiff shadow]

Kids whom misscomunicate what they want/need, then blame you for them saying the wrong thing
or Server dies and nobody plays on it after first boss

and i specifically look for 18+ servers, but apparently kids hate playing with kids, so they always try to sneak into older groups

[pliant hatch]

You could create your own game, set it as an MP game so it's having pass word protection and post it in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

If people are interested, they will contact you here.

The advantage is that you run the "server", meaning you can set the rules and find like minded players.

Another advantage, the "server" only runs when you're on, so no chance of people bursting in and demolishing everything while you're off line.

[tranquil cave]

Yall think it's worth starting a world and playing some before Ashlands or waiting to fresh start when Ashland comes out?

[pliant hatch]

Can start a world and play, just make sure you don't get near the Ashlands at all to avoid it being "explored".

But given the size of the world, that shouldn't be a problem at all.

[uncut bough]

I hate it so much that carrots grow at different rate

I planted 15 carrots and now i only got 6-7 carrots harvested while others are half grown

I planted them 2 meters apart, measured by the 2m beam

[pliant hatch]

Just do something else, come back after 3-4 game days and harvest the whole lot in one go.
The more you focus at something, the longer it seems to take

[uncut bough]

Well i was going to fight the elders but then i dont have good health items

I was going to mine but i was relocating house so i havent built the forge at new location

[urban fulcrum]

What issues?

[pliant hatch]

Already answered after I asked the same:

SkornClaw — vandaag om 02:47
Kids whom misscomunicate what they want/need, then blame you for them saying the wrong thing
or Server dies and nobody plays on it after first boss (bewerkt)
[02:49]
and i specifically look for 18+ servers, but apparently kids hate playing with kids, so they always try to sneak into older groups

[urban fulcrum]

Tbf, I tap out around mistlands to plains usually

[uncut bough]

Is it worth it to create everything again, like forge and all the kiln or smelter from scratch at new location

Or do i just dismantle the infrastructure at the old location and move that instead

[strange arrow]

all comes down to the metals, you can portal everything else to a new spot

[uncut bough]

One problem: the other half of the portal currently resides at the elders

So it is not like i can just dismantle it and walk home, and i dont have a boat on the ready for it

[urban fulcrum]

You don’t really need great food if you use the pillars

[uncut bough]

What pillars?

[urban fulcrum]

His arena has pillars for cover

the fight is nearly unwinnable without them, so

[odd marsh]

thw fight would take a bit of time without it xD

[tame mirage]

Do ||sap extractors not collect sap while you're away from them?|| (mistlands)

[drowsy magnet]

They do you don't have to wait on them

[tame mirage]

Seems like when I go home and then come back to them after a while it still says 1/10

[odd marsh]

have you check if the roots is still glowing

[strange arrow]

i'd check it after a farming rotation or something, they can take a couple days to refill iirc

[tame mirage]

Oh that might be what was happening

i had a lot of the extractors on a root

[strange arrow]

yeh that will drain it faster

i only use 1 per root (usually a spot where's there's at least 4 or 5+) but i'd advise to try and keep to 1-2 extractor as max

then you know it'll be a decent haul each time

[paper marsh]

How is it un winnable without them?

[urban fulcrum]

big man massacres you

[paper marsh]

I mean I do usually use the pillars for cover but there’s other options. You can outrun his shots (although it drains a fair bit of stamina) and also if you go up close he pretty much only stomps which you can dodge

Pretty sure mate isn’t resistant to any physical damage either so any weapon you use against him will be great

[rain flare]

Resistant to pierce - he is a skeleton and shares similar weaknesses

Such as spirit damage

[fair cairn]

i usually plant them 1 meter apart, easy to eyeball once you done it a few time and usually plant like 100 carrots with the 1.5 resource slider for 200 carrots and replant 25 for 100 seeds
with default resources ill plant 200 carrots and well, do some math to figure out how many seeders i needwhich is like, 67? i think

[hidden gorge]

i think the bigger issue is sitting watching the plants grow. it's less stressful to just sow the entire field, go off adventuring and forget about it, and then when you come back from your adventures, bam! field full of goodies

[odd marsh]

wait the seeds grow into crops

in just a second xD

[hidden gorge]

your adventures last only a second? generally people last at least a couple minutes 😛

[odd marsh]

after forgetting them for a weekxD theres that slight delay where they havent grow yet till you wait for just a sec and uniformly BOOM golden luscious crops

i just love watching it happen

[timber sky]

morning, discordians

[fair cairn]

you dont have to watch them grow, you can go adventuring while the plants grow

i did watch a plant grow irl once
ran over to the plant in every recess in school and sat their with a large group of people and watched the plant grow

[odd marsh]

i did it aswell, I even watched them plant it

might be a beautiful subject for my painting

[hidden gorge]

that's my entire point. the person you were replying to was complaining about the rate of their growth, which doesn't matter unless you're just sitting there watching them grow

[toxic rose]

What about watching the seekers eat your mushrooms?)

[hidden gorge]

i don't think that's ever happened to me before

largely because I generally treat my mistfarm the same way -- its a tiny plot of flattened ground in front of a portal, that I spend a few moments every once in a while sowing/reaping and then immediately leaving

[odd marsh]

watch the soldiers stomp on them

[agile zenith]

Welp, my longship is full of ore and still have quite a bit more, wonder if I should smelt the tin/copper into bronze to make it fit in 1 trip

Not really sure how useful bronze even is though, I have already got quite a bit of tin/copper and bronze is low as my thinking so far has been only make bronze as I need it

[fair cairn]

you need quite a bit of copper
bronze well
it doesnt ahve as many uses

especially if your already using a longship

[agile zenith]

Really? what do you need it for

[fair cairn]

copper is mostly for decorative items like the wall torch and other such items
bronze is mostly used for the weapons and armor and some nails
its good to have bronze and copper but copper has more uses after you done with bronze age

[agile zenith]

Well, given I have loads I guess I may as well haul back a bunch of bronze

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-cute-coffee-gif-8173999760206959925

[agile zenith]

What is a reasonable limit on weight to try to move in a cart over a moderate distance

[fair cairn]

idd say around 2000 pounds or kg
can sitll be moved easily enough
wont get stuck on every slope and is a reasonable amount of resources

though i guess a bit less? like 1400 or something like
gotta test which one you like more

[near furnace]

valheim does not use pounds 🥲

[fair cairn]

idd rather it be pounds than kg cause 2000 kg is 2 tonnes
2000 pounds is probably like 900 or so kg

[near furnace]

it isn't

valheim uses metric meassurement 😄

[agile zenith]

At 4000 on mine, kinda wish I just sailed the long way round rather than thinking I could use a cart

[fair cairn]

ill stick with pounds cause its more beleiveble with how much weight can be carried in this game
even though i dont like the imperial scale

[fair cairn]

4k is a bit too much trying to move
though in the swamp it would work but you will be sticking to water most of thetime

[agile zenith]

next time I am just going to sail...

[sharp dirge]

My first Valheim reddit post got 160 upvoted and 360 comments is that good

[odd marsh]

i dont even know how to rougly measure the imperial scale

[sharp dirge]

Me neither

[odd marsh]

except for pounds and inches tho cause u know weights and rulers

[sharp dirge]

I don't know even those not american

[near furnace]

Hm.. should name it like Valheim Weight Units or something 😄

[sharp dirge]

I'm thinking of making a graph of what people think the most useless item is

Got a lot of answers on reddit

[paper roost]

its not imperial scale, most of the world use kg 😛

[sharp dirge]

Kg better

[odd marsh]

i guess it depends on which part of the world ur in xD

[fair cairn]

i dont care if it is or isnt, ill believe some carrying 2k pounds rather than 2 tonnes of stuff

[sharp dirge]

I wouldn't say tonnes

Id personally say 2000 kg

[fair cairn]

2 tonnes is 2000 kg

[sharp dirge]

I know just sounds better

[odd marsh]

"K"G"

[paper roost]

thats for sure

even its a game, i dont like sometimes things that are quite a nonsense in rl

[odd marsh]

Steve casually carrying 36 stacks of stone

[sharp dirge]

Yes please do that or valheimtons

[odd marsh]

but i do like the valheim weight punishment makes it more realistic

[paper roost]

yep

i dont move more than 1500 valheimtons, seems like optimal limit to me

[fair cairn]

1500 valheimtons?
you dont mean 1500 valheim kg or something like that?

[near furnace]

Valheiminum

[paper roost]

yeah, doesnt matter, it was attempt for a joke 🙂

[paper roost]

i like that

[mystic gale]

Some1 did the calculations on how much weight you can carry in minecraft. Same logic applies here

I mean you can build a house with stuff you carry in your pockets

[odd marsh]

only thing different is the encumbered debuff

[mystic gale]

Steve can carry like 27×64 m^3 of gold

Not sure though what is the heaviest thing in minecraft though

[merry pebble]

Should be netherite iirc

[vocal rivet]

What SHOULD the carrying capacity be for an undead Viking in their prime on a fictional world with unknown physical properties?

[mystic gale]

Well i mean i can prob carry like 50 kg kinda easily

So 2 wood.. maybe 3

So inventory weight limit 50 and 2 slots

[odd marsh]

vikings in their prime hmmm im guessing about 3x their own weight, but since its fictional and them being able to push a large boat im guessing 10x xD

[mystic gale]

Though i think that its the weight of the items that make the least sense

[paper roost]

you can set rules like that in your world, good luck with playing it 😄

[mystic gale]

Im gonna need a cart for everything

[paper roost]

again, good luck with playing it, especially in the mistland

[opal prairie]

Don't need to go that far, mountains is enough.

[paper roost]

true 🙂

[mystic gale]

Drake egg is 200kg

Oh no

[fair cairn]

yup

its heavy af
also, cant be teleported

[fair cairn]

you use 300 kg of metal to make a weapon that weys 1/10 of it

[vocal rivet]

We're warriors not efficient blacksmiths.

[paper roost]

yeah, i think we dont have to go that far, just to make the cart you would have to do several trips to your base 😄

[odd marsh]

im rolling that egg down the hill

[fair cairn]

you could put the egg in the cart and roll the cart down the hill

me and my freind threw our 4k weight cart down the mountain

[rain flare]

Forget the weight, how about the costs of upgrades for your gear

[fair cairn]

it survived with a slither of HP

[rain flare]

There are limits to my believability on this 😂

[paper roost]

its bigger fun with the ship, especially if you in it

[fair cairn]

nota fan of dismantling the ship for that

[odd marsh]

xD sledding down the mountain

[opal prairie]

Nor are we efficient cooks, we start with 10kg of serpent meat and some other stuff and only keep 1kg over when everything is said and done.
We also eat that kg in one sitting.

[paper roost]

i didnt say its practical, or effective, but its fun 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, with a cooldown of an entire day...

[opal prairie]

Ramp, doors in front, build ship on the ramp and open those doors when you are on the ship, let it sail!

[fair cairn]

turning my black forest into a blank forest

wellp shit, i need more iron chests to store my wood that i got while getting core wood

[opal prairie]

On top of that we could eat another 10kg of cooked serpent meat and a 1kg omelette for 12kg of food in one sitting that lasts us all day.
We can also eat 300 grams of food and be sated for a while.

[vocal rivet]

Ssh. It's a game.

[opal prairie]

Indeed it is but some of the inconsistencies are funny as in every game.

[fair cairn]

idd say getting swarmed in the black from dwarves when your mostly using silver weapons is not even training for your weapons but a annoyance

[odd marsh]

they are pretty annoying once you start some grinding for ores or wood

[opal prairie]

I grind stone and wood by grinding greydwarfs into mulch by means of wolves or skeletons.

[fair cairn]

thats not going to give me core wood though

[opal prairie]

True.

[fair cairn]

though how do get ore from dwarves

[opal prairie]

Should have been stone, my bad.

[fair cairn]

that would be cool though, getting lets say 5 random copper or tin by throwing 50 stone into a grinder

and i now need to make 50 carrot soup... so... 3 stacks of carrots and 1 stack of mushroom
and 50 click for soup 😦

[opal prairie]

Yeah, go for that carpal tunnel by cooking in Valheim.

[fair cairn]

😦 did finish just now

should geta better auto clicker that lets me ahve it click every 4 or so seconds

[paper roost]

why 50 carrot soups?

[fair cairn]

cause its basically 1 full row for the normal wood chest and its a simpey way to count the resources

1 stack of mushrooms and 3 of carrots, pretty easy to count out with no left overs

true, i just think i never used so much carrot soups before i got better food

I like to store my food in vertical stacks, but I have BM chests

Usually best food goes into a chest I only use for important stuff, anything extra goes into a second chest that I use day to day as the assumption is if I have that much of it anytihng else is spare.

well i have iron chests and normal wood chests but i dont feel like reworking my entire wharehouse to have iron chests

I do the same, doing stuff in the base and for easy biome ventures I grab the lowest food I still have lying around.
Exploring new terrain or venturing out in a harder biome, best food I've got.

Yeah, though recently threw out some of my deer meat foods, its so much lower I don't think I am ever going to use it. I say threw out, I put it into a backup warehouse of stuff I have excess of.

[fair cairn]

oh yea, the carrot soup is also for me when i am mining or getting some more wood

[pulsar mortar]

Right now I only use deer meat for wolves

[fair cairn]

ill combine that with boar jerky and some queens jelly or what ever its called for lots of stamina

[fair cairn]

if i start taming them ill only using boar meat for them

[toxic rose]

Just eat it when you chop down trees or run, collect ingredients in meadows or dark forest.

Fine idea, two farms can work pretty nice together. With friend we have 1* boars and 2* wolves farms

I am far enough in the game I don't need to bother. I have bread
