[frigid gust]

Don't forget shift+click with the hoe, which tries to flatten to the level of the ground it is aimed at vs. the default behavior of flattening to the level that the player is standing at

[strange arrow]

ye that's great for making slopes

not needed in levelling, i find it complicates the process more to try using that and you can end up with weird offsets

[frigid gust]

It does, but I find it most useful when I'm forced to stand at a weird location to flatten something specific, especially Mistlands farm plots

[kind pendant]

Just checked the stats for a 2 star gjall…

[fair cairn]

also helps with makinga canal deeper

[strange arrow]

ye for a farm pancake flat isn't really even a high prio, was thinking more for build stability especially in larger builds, nothing worse than not being able to place that one or 2 roof pieces at that one end where's there's a low spot and support doesn't quite reach

[frigid gust]

I also generally tend to not make builds like that, I prefer a more organic process building to the landscape instead of adapting the landscape to my build.

[strange arrow]

legit pathway

i encompass more of that these days as well in building, but knowing you can create that perfectly flat stable base for any amount of rooms/floors is invaluable

just start off flattening a small area, until you can pan the camera down and see how flat it is, then you can read the ground and make it align flat after using the technique i described

once you can do in one spot, expand

[light moat]

Wait what?? You can do that?

[tight fractal]

Someone who want to play in multiplayer? Im N loner with no friends so if somebody would like to play with me...

[merry pebble]

you can search through or post in #1024264966712340510 for that 😄

[tight fractal]

💀

ok

[drowsy magnet]

I'm amazed not many players are aware of this 💀

It's like a hidden feature

[fair cairn]

how many hidden key combos do i still not know about

[hollow crag]

I didn't know and I have like 300 hours on the game

[odd helm]

If you're an older player, you might not know that you can now secondary attack with any lumber axe for a downward chop

Great for stubby stumps and thin logs

[ember panther]

I almost always follow up a chopped out tree with a down swing to hit both the log and the stump

[tight fractal]

Man just doesnt use axe and just push the tree😐

[plush umbra]

they're automatically generated for every enemy.
1-star has x1.5 damage, x2 health and x2 drops and drop chances (not affecting trophies and some other drops)
2-star has x2 damage, x3 health and x4 drops and drop chances (same rules)
if you cheat in enemies with levels higher than that, all 3 of those stats even keep going up indefinitely, but it won't show any stars below their name and they'll use their default model and size, since the size and models of stared enemies are all custom-made.

[ember panther]

Never seen a 2* gjall... Not sure I want to

[plush umbra]

iirc they can only spawn at night and despawn if loaded in during the day

same for 1-star

[ember panther]

Makes sense. I never explore mistlands at night 🤣

[merry pebble]

i believe the enemies are capped at lvl 10 now (i am 100% sure trolls are at least since i tested it maybe a week ago 😄 )

[plush umbra]

the spawn command was capped at 4 or so a long while ago, maybe the cap's been increased, but i'm pretty sure enemies can still go beyond 4 or 10 if you use external tools or older versions of the game to spawn them in, and will continue to exist that way even without the presence of those tools.

[merry pebble]

its possible to spawn them in with normal command up to lvl 10 (at least enemies/creatures, for tools it should be at 4 as you said i think) for example "spawn troll 1 10" will spawn one lvl10 troll, and i have done it in most recent version🤔

also no external tools used just pure vanilla

[latent wraith]

I just made a bronze pickaxe as my first bronze item. I don't think that's very common. ;p

[frigid gust]

Heathen!

[latent wraith]

Thank you.

[light moat]

Ayyy that’s always my first item too 😎

[frigid gust]

I'm surrounded by crazy people...

[hollow crag]

It's like the most useless item you can possibly make

Like it's 100% worst than the first pick axe which you can fix with level 1 workbench

[latent wraith]

It most certainly isn't. Trolls are unreliable as miners, some are good at it but most are rather unqualified.

[languid root]

Don't say, why do we even need pickaxe, we are vikings, not dwarves

[hollow crag]

You get a better pick axe from fighting the first boss

[latent wraith]

Not if I don't fight him. :p

[frigid gust]

Naah, we need to get the ore 😛 Just don't waste my time on a pickaxe that is harder to repair in the bronze age and only slightly improves mining speed, doesn't even enable any new mining targets.

[languid root]

Seems like double standards to me..

[frigid gust]

I think that skipping Eikthyr is pretty much the only legit reason to build a bronze pickaxe, and that's still a different kind of crazy...

[hollow crag]

The only reason that you would get it is if you have a large amount of bronze and you want to mine tons of sea turtles

And you haven't get to Iron Age yet

[latent wraith]

i decided to skip him for some reason. I don't know if I'll skip the next ones, but it's an intersting challenge I haven't done before.

[hollow crag]

That dumb challenge

[drowsy magnet]

That bronze you used for the pick could of been used to make bronze armor, smhmh

[latent wraith]

Ok.

[odd helm]

Ew, bronze armor

[hollow crag]

Just play in hardcore no map with max death penalty if you want challenge

[latent wraith]

Bronze armour comes later.

[tawny wasp]

Is there any point in killing me elder?

[odd helm]

Yes, you need his drop

[hollow crag]

Swamp key

[latent wraith]

Ah yes, it's either "most challenge" or normal play, doing various other thing is of course not worthy.

[tawny wasp]

I got one off my friends world

[odd helm]

Trophy for the forsaken power then

[hollow crag]

More like it's a stupid challenge that's making you go through more trouble than you needed to but it's actually just normal play through

[frigid gust]

I like bronze armor! On a stand, as decoration...

[uncut bough]

the worst feeling ever is to die on a server and the server disconnects

[latent wraith]

Thank you for informing me, I had no idea it was a stupid thing to do. Here I thought I enjoyed it. Ah well, we can all be wrong at times.

[uncut bough]

now my body and my....everything is now stranded there

[odd helm]

Eh, there's prettier armor sets~

[uncut bough]

even body recovery squad cant help in this one

[languid root]

Isn't any challenge stupid? That's the point of challenges

[dense steppe]

When I started playing, I put together a full bronze set 😸

[hollow crag]

Bronze armour gives me like 39 armour with the deer cape at level 3, that's pretty much the root armour stats

[frigid gust]

Ehh... it's pretty classic 😉 But regardless, I need it to complete my hall of armors. Gotta Build 'em All(tm)

[tight fractal]

😭

[hollow crag]

Well in this context the challenge isn't really a challenge it's just being dumb

[odd helm]

But with none of the bonuses and all of the movement penalty

And a full set of lv3 must take a while to mine resources for in normal settings

[latent wraith]

You must construct additional armours.

[hollow crag]

In the swamp you would need like the most armour possible to combat poison or you can get poison resistant

[odd helm]

Which root gets you~

[hollow crag]

I used to always uses unlevel troll armour going to swamp but this time I actually built bronze armour and ngl it's better than I thought

[hollow crag]

It's alright, I built all the work bench and forge improvement along with bronze axe and planting tool and the full set to level 3 with like 140 copper in solo run normal settings

[languid root]

You just spontaneously understood calling smth dumb is a thing. It's dumb

[paper marsh]

I don't see why challenges have to be dumb or stupid

[uncut bough]

average fishing experience:

throw normal bait
trollfish not taking the bait
switch to mossy bait
big arse pike appear
switch back to normal bait
here comes trollfish

man i just love and hate fishing so much

finally got the level 3 pike dear lord

[paper marsh]

I got my first ever lvl 5 fish earlier. Just washed up on shore next to my house

So many fish washing ashore here actually

[regal spoke]

Hopefully not puffer. Be a painful thing to stub your toe on at 3am

[paper marsh]

nah just a pike

Although I wish it was a puffer

[plush umbra]

Can a puffer even wash up on shore

They’re ocean biome aren’t they?

[regal spoke]

I've heard they make interesting tools 😉

I've found myst areas where they could end up on low terrain

[paper marsh]

yea ocean biomes can be close to shore sometimes. And can stray from their intended areas

[uncut bough]

this is also how i caught my first troll fish

[thin vault]

dang

[light moat]

Is it just me, or does the Porcupine seem a little out of place? You have these kinda epic names; Frostner, Draugr Fang, Anicient Bark Spear! Then, Porcupine? 😅

[raven heron]

is it true that royal jelly piles respawn?

[lunar sapphire]

[vocal rivet]

You don't think porcupines are epic?

[light moat]

They are definitely extremely cute lol

[lunar sapphire]

Try pronouncing it "porcu-pih-ne"

pih being like pea

[light moat]

Ah, now that’s more like it 👍

[paper marsh]

Tetra be like that

Honestly, fish be like that. They're not the smartest bunch

[frigid gust]

Yeah, tetra tend to do that. They clip through the dungeon floors somehow, which is what makes them end up outside the cave on the paths and such.

[paper marsh]

I do wonder tho, how exactly is wave intensity calculated? I know they get less severe the closer inland you go but is there any specifics on that? Bc I set up a house on the coast and the waves here just feel like they get a lot rowdier than most coasts. Which is why I'm getting so many fish stranded

[frigid gust]

I am not 100% sure how it is done, but the concave/interior parts of an island get lower waves. Coves and bays and such get lower swells even in storms.

[paper marsh]

Hmm the area is pretty un-cove like so maybe that helps it

[frigid gust]

Yeah. Peninsulas and islands off open coasts usually bear the brunt of that kind of behavior

[paper marsh]

and I'm guessing it's a set behavior based on initial terrain generation, which doesn't care about player terraforming?

[deep torrent]

finally found a crypt, after 5 skinny useless one, cleared it and finally got iron to smelt, going to bed pleased

[paper marsh]

:)

[sage dock]

who else likes pulling a witcher once they have an iron and a silver sword running around in the mountains?

[bleak perch]

sounds interesting - what is a witcher can i ask?

[sage dock]

uhhhhh the games, the novels, the tv show with Henry Cavill? that Witcher?

since you have golems and dravik and wolves and werekin running around, its a great way to run around pulling a Witcher

monster hunting etc

[vocal rivet]

I feel someone who wasn't aware of the franchise still would be none the wiser as to what 'pulling a Witcher' means.

[sage dock]

ah well they have the context now. up to them to explore it and understand

[vocal rivet]

It is?

[pliant hatch]

Most likely it is......

after they've done a google, YouTube, Steam and Epic Game Shop search about The Witcher games, books and TV series to actually understand what the context is about.

[sage dock]

indeed do what else? make them search it and understand?

[tepid prawn]

I think they might be referring to the fact that witchers in game and tv series and book etc. all usually have 2 swords and swap between them depending on monster

[cunning shale]

did someone used genloc command? I want to know if its works well because of ashlands

[sage dock]

sorry buddy dont know what that is haha

[broken ingot]

how close are we to ashlands release?

[vocal rivet]

The answer is still first half 2024.

[broken ingot]

what if i beg and plead? will that move the release date closer?

[uncut bough]

I love how the devs make it so that the giant herring is described as some sort if repulsive fish that should be discarded

And after being “processed” in the cooking pot, it gives 2 raw fish instead of 1

Very cool indeed, even though it is a pain in the arse to catch it even the weight class 1 herring

Also i might not wanna catch herring anymore, the leeches keep trying to munch my boat

[vocal rivet]

Um, no?

[cobalt canyon]

"You will chop down every tree in the forest with- A HERRING"

[broken ingot]

... does not detect a joke...

[vocal rivet]

People have been begging and pleading for some time now. There was no indication this was a joke.

[vague dove]

Just curious..Do you ever laugh?

[vocal rivet]

Oh, frequently, why?

[vague dove]

just seems your always serious when a lol would suffice

[vocal rivet]

I apologise for not writing 'lol' every time I laugh at a joke or simply smile.

[uncut bough]

With fishing being this daunting, i want equipment that gives buff to fish skill

[vague dove]

lol gotcha

[uncut bough]

Or anything that makes it easier, idk

[vocal rivet]

Well, the fishing hat does that, but it requires quite a bit of fishing in the first place.

[uncut bough]

I heard i need all types of fish to craft it

[vocal rivet]

Yep.

[uncut bough]

Which…. Yea maybe still a long while to go

Man i just started to hate swamp so much now

[vocal rivet]

Heh, we've all been there.

[uncut bough]

Everything in swamp is bio-engineered to kill u

Monsters that do patrols around the area, leeches, excessive amount of skeletons that acts as high tier greydrwarf, leeches, constant rain debuff, LEECHES, abomination ambush, and if i havent made my point clear, LEECHES

It is turning unfun to explore the swamp , the main activity to do there is just to go down the crypt like rats and then mine iron

And there are only turnip seeds and rare occasion protruding scrap metal pile outside to be found

Dear lord pls make mountain biome a bit more interesting instead of more of cave dwelling or whatever that is

[vocal rivet]

Is there anything in the game you like?

[uncut bough]

I like killing mobs

[vocal rivet]

Well, there are lots of mobs in Mountains, especially these days.

[uncut bough]

And idk if i can turn up the lightings in Swamp a little bot cuz it is so dark

I know it is rain so it must be dark but sometimes it makes traversing so much harder

[tepid prawn]

Mountains have cool mobs especially Golems with beautiful trophies, also it never rains in the mountains

[uncut bough]

And when it is night time , oh boy indeed

Yea imma speedrun swamp

[vocal rivet]

Well, you're in Moutains so it sounds like you're done with Swamps now.

[tepid prawn]

I like the swamp ever since I started to build my proper first house there. when I go fast I go: 1. take over little abandoned house and use that as base 2. Second base = swamp treehouse 3. move to mountains or plains for the big project

[uncut bough]

I wasnt in mountains

The only few time is just to see what is in there before getting relentlessly attacked by wolves

Prolly twice

[vocal rivet]

Wolves are fairly easy to deal with except at night.

[tepid prawn]

To conquer swamp properly I recommend building a treehouse which will be raidproof pretty much if build high enough until Bonemass is killed (enables drake raids)

[pliant hatch]

As you've already pointed out, quite a lot of those in the Swamp.....

[uncut bough]

Sure but i like killing them on even terms

Almost all creatures in swamp doesn’t and the constant rain debuff means that parrying a few times will deplete my stamina bar so fast

[pliant hatch]

But on a serious note:

Using either a bow or an AoE weapon like the sledge works quite well in the Swamp. It's quite easy to kill leeches with a finewood bow and wooden arrows because they don't have that many HP at all. Trick is to keep out of the water.
If you won't use a bow, but stick to melee instead, use the sledge or even the stagbreaker as it will do quite some damage the moment you hit the ground with it. Just be aware you may have to drink the antidote every once in a while.

As for the rain, there's two kinds of mead helping with stamina regeneration; while using two HP and one stamina food helps too.
And finally, don't move into the swamp using heavy armor, but wear the light one instead. Whenever possible, a full troll set helps a lot because of the sneaking bonus you get from that one.

[uncut bough]

Like i can take on dragur, i can take on leeches alone or in a small group

But it happens so often that either abomination appears and me trying to kill it while running away ( under the rain), more draugur joins the fight, making the fight even more desperate

Or just a horde of draugur with 1-2 star enemy attacks me

[formal kraken]

For swamp I stockpile fire arrows and go hunting for roots.

[uncut bough]

And yes i am using level 3 troll armor rn

Maybe when i get them roots i will craft the rooty tooty armor

[pliant hatch]

I went into the swamp a few days ago, using a new character who'd just defeated the Elder.
By the time I got to the swamp from the BF, I had already encountered several Greydwarf Brutes, as well as some 1-2** Greydwarves, skelletons and in the Swamp I had to deal with leeches, a blob, several draugr - of which one ranged - and eventually an abomination.
First thing I did each and every time I got attacked, retreat to dry land; using the terain to my advantage, using building ruins to my advantage and matching my weapons to my opponents.

The most important thing with the Swamp is to adapt to the environment. Yes, stamina regeneration will be more slow, so don't go fast. Stop, look around, listen, sneak if you have to; use the dry spots to move on and have a bow equipped to be the one doing the first hit.

When you do have to cross water, equip the bow and hoover over the water all around you to see if anything pops up. Even if you don't see the leeches yourself, the moment you move your cursor over them, their name will pop up.
After that you will pop an arrow in them; they will plop and you can cross that part of water without a problem.

If you don't want - or can't as some players have problems with the bow in this game - do that, bring a hoe and start leveling the land around you.
You may attract Draugr with that, but at least the leeches have no chance to get to you. 😄

And added to that, the hoe is an excelent first "weapon" when you are going to fight Bonemass. Not as a weapon itself, but to prepare the surrounding area, making it a lot harder for some enemies to attack you off guard.

And finally a positive note:

If you're able to get through the Swamp, you'll notice that the mountains and the plains will be a lot easier. Mistland, however, will be harder again; but in general it's quite similar to the Swamp, just without the low stamina regeneration.

[strange arrow]

as well as crafting the best armor you can, which for me isn't the most beneficial focus, is maintaining that good food, especially for swamp and mistlands as mentioned

turnip stew MVP for swamp

if you already have a carrot farm and a boar farm you can be on carrot soup and sosig and breeze through with poison pots, just collect the bare minimum to get kitted for the boss, and hardly spend any time there

then once you have plains armor and food it's easier to go back and do a proper iron run and get stocked up

all assuming you want to avoid mistlands, if yr brave/crazy xD you can farm it there as well

[scarlet siren]

how much is playable on xbox?

it says preview, so...

[rain flare]

That’s not weird

[rain flare]

Should be everything you have on pc?

[patent pawn]

a friend is on xbox

i wanna know if they can join my world

[rain flare]

Sure

Make sure that cross play is active and start your world as a server

[patent pawn]

oh hell yeah

[vocal rivet]

That's just Xbox speak for Early Access which is where the game is at.

[patent pawn]

well, yeah. but i don't know if it's where it's at for pc, which i think is necessary for cross platform

[lusty latch]

Is there server management software for valheim like there's pterodactly for minecraft?

[vocal rivet]

Hm? The game is the same for all platforms.

[patent pawn]

oh, nice

[vocal rivet]

No idea what that is, but I doubt it. The server tool is quite limited. They might know more in #dedicated-server

[lusty latch]

alright ty

[hollow crag]

Tbh iron armour is about the worst armour to make from an economic stand point

Iron is like the most used metal in the game, and if you level your bronze armour before going into the swamp like level 3 bronze armour it's pretty much = max level root armour

And if you quickly defeat bone mass you get his forsaken power which pretty much makes the entire game on easy mode

This is probably more true with coop mode, you can take turns spamming bone mass ability

And your iron is more scarce

[rain flare]

I never use it if I can help it

Hate iron armor

[hollow crag]

Me two

[safe flower]

Yes I use troll armour and if I get lucky in a mountain and find silver before beating bonemass then get that armour

[paper marsh]

I’d say bronze armor is worse to make economically 🤣

[safe flower]

Bronze gear in general is a pain having to mix

I don’t mind the concept though, just anoying a little

[plush umbra]

it's a good bit of work for a set that has barely any more defense than troll hide armor while also slowing you down.
i never make bronze or iron armor, but imo bronze is the worse deal of the two

(though the bit about iron being the most used metal, yea, objectively true, and iron scale armor does cost a whole lot of it.)

[paper marsh]

I'll say tho I feel like a lot of the more economical weapon options are often ignored

[hollow crag]

Most of the bronze weapons are useless so, after all the work bench, and crafting upgrades, bronze axe and planting tool you will have the bronze to max your armour, but troll armour needs like 91 troll hides to max

You can prob wear your bronze armour maxed into the mountains

[regal spoke]

I'm in the plains (normal) with level 3 iron helm, root chest, and troll legs. Level 3 iron buckler and level 3 bronze mace.

[paper marsh]

I agree with the uselessness of bronze weapons, but I don't see how the weapons being useless makes the armor useful

My thing is more that copper is tedious af to grind, whereas you could just kill a few trolls. Obvs depends on luck with finding trolls, but tends to be faster for me and I don't like the slowdown of bronze armor

I'd rather get 91 hide than 84 copper and 42 tin

Still I do tend to get bronze helmet over troll helmet, since it has slightly more armor and no slowdown. Unless there's an absolute abundance of trolls then I'll just go for troll hood

Also troll hide holds up pretty decent in mountain as well imo if on normal difficulty

[regal spoke]

What are you considering economical for weapons? I was thinking spear for sure. But that's not slept on

[paper marsh]

I usually skip rag / deer / bronze / iron armor

[paper marsh]

I feel like spear is slept on by a lot

Most the craze I see is just sword/atgeir/mace/frostner

Flesh rippers are also hella cheap to upgrade, granted the skills for it aren't used much outside of that weapon

Knives I don't know the exact economy of but I'd assume them to be a tad cheaper than other stuff? Very good too

[regal spoke]

Spear versatility is really hard to match. But perhaps knife is another rather economical piece

[paper marsh]

eh I feel spear is usually passed up for a bow

Understandable since bows are very very OP, but I feel like spears get undervalued

[hot fern]

i normally bypass the crude bow in favor of spears

[regal spoke]

I build spear as first weapon every run. Bow requires scraps that I'd rather put into other things

[hot fern]

saves roughly 15 leather scraps

[regal spoke]

Exactly

[paper marsh]

do you use spears in other biomes too?

[hot fern]

i do

but i think the most worth are: flint, fang and carapace

purely because of their cost value and the speed you can max them at

plus, spears are great against both trolls and lox, also gjalls if they get close 🙂

[paper marsh]

Fellow spear enthusiast I love it. Spears against Gjall is a ton of fun

I've used a lot of spears this run because I banned bows and some enemies just aren't parriable on Very Hard

[regal spoke]

A starter item that can go to end game. I agree with the worth spears. But bark spear looks to good not to build

[paper marsh]

Bark spear is really nice for wolves

[hot fern]

do it,. the iron spear is legit too 🙂

[paper marsh]

not bad for dragons either, although I think most people don't like to use spears on mountain

[hot fern]

that's the one place i've found they do kinda slow down kills on drakes, having to lure them closer to get a spear off

• risk with throwing it off makes it tough

[paper marsh]

ye, it's not too bad once you get used to it tho

Plus nothing as satisfying as throwing a spear at a drake then running in, grabbing the spear, and propelling yourself into the air to get the melee mid air kill

[hollow crag]

91 trolls hide is like what 18 trolls killed? And 91 copper is about what you get from one copper deposit, I understand some deposit drops more and some drop less, one of my deposits dropped 110 copper the other dropped like 80

[paper marsh]

I also think fully levelling is a bit excessive, especially since you can't do that until Mountains. Getting it to lvl 2 is pretty snazzy and costs only like 21 hide. That's 5 trolls and then you'll prob have leftover to make one piece lvl 3. Hide is wasted if not making troll armor. Copper can just be left unmined if not needed

Also 91 sounds high. I'm assuming that's including the useless cape?

All up to preference tho

First time I played I joined a server with friends and got slapped around by trolls so troll armor wasn't rly an option for me there

[hollow crag]

I always prefer troll armour back then as well, but in my new solo run, bronze armour just make so much sense since finding copper deposit is more common than troll

Also like I said bronze armour you can probably use till mountains, troll armour you probably don't want to do that

[cobalt canyon]

Knives're good pvp weapons, or so I've heard

Personally I like maces, there just doesn't seem to be much that's resistant to blunt and there're a few things that are weak to it

[ember panther]

Knives are great. Super fast, take very little stamina, and sneak attack on an unsuspecting troll with even a copper knife can stagger it, leading to an easy kill

[paper marsh]

I'd imagine so. Fast attack speed must be key in pvp

very good in PvE too tho

[hollow crag]

Bow with frost arrows probably be unbeatable🤣

[paper marsh]

In pvp? I wouldn't expect so

Hard to hit a fast moving opponent, especially if they've got Fenris gear. Plus with a bubble from staff of protection you might not be able to take that shield down before they get to you

and frost resist will lower the damage too

[cobalt canyon]

I think Flesh Rippers are good in pvp to

Kick attack is key

[nocturne wolf]

I havent done pvp with mistlands items but an axe should break the bubble in a few hits because of the chop damage

Unless the other player has a high blood magic skill

[paper marsh]

ye I'd imagine an axe is good. Arrows are eh

it's so weird how chop/pick damage gets added to regular damage for shield

[nocturne wolf]

It’s so annoying when fighting bosses

[paper marsh]

For me it doesnt matter much tbh

I play on Very Hard and most mobs are gonna 1 or maybeeeee 2 shot the bubble anyways

[gleaming pollen]

Just watched all the Dev blogs for Ashlands. Looks really good. Is that what they're doing over on the PTS?

[gilded glade]

who wanna play

just got to bronze era about to fight elder

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.

[hollow crag]

My 30 iron dissappered after flattening the land wtf...

[timid ore]

Disappeared how? Was it a chest?

[hollow crag]

Nope

I just threw it on the ground, and then left it there for like 5 mins, i mean i did flat the ground, and then come back its gone, i just threw it next the smelter

It took me forever to pull the 57 iron back to base from swamp using chart and 30 of them now missing wtf

[timid ore]

I don't know the mechanics behind dropped items and flattening the ground, but I'd figure they got buried

[hollow crag]

I dig the ground and it didnt work, i remember once i was dropping some yellow mushrooms close to the stone walls and it got glitched into the stone walls, and it just stuck there for like 30 mins and then reappered again

[fair cairn]

how long did they lay on the ground?

[hollow crag]

only 5-10mins

Maybe 15

[fair cairn]

i think items despawn after a few days if no workbench/fireplace is enarby

[hollow crag]

My hard earned iron!!!!😭

took me like 40 mins to pull them back to base using cart

[fair cairn]

the other thing that could have happened was they fell through after you flattened the ground

[fair cairn]

also, why arent you usinga boat?

[hollow crag]

Yea i think thats what happened

[hollow crag]

Cuz it was connected, and my boat is far away

[opal prairie]

Always better to put such things in a chest out of the way of any terraforming.

[fair cairn]

i think the boat wouldve been better to use and do what kamap said

[hollow crag]

Ok i did some testing i throw 1 copper at that spot and then flatten it and it gone too

Ig at least i found a way to destroy items without oblibrator

[timid ore]

that's rough, but now we know lol

[hollow crag]

I tried relog and it didnt work

[fair cairn]

i guess a ALT f4 wouldve saved the iron but thats too late
a other thing you could do is use devcommands and spawn in 30 iron

[old echo]

I know Root is light armour and Wolf is heavy but the jump up in armour is pretty insane. I was comparing my lvl 4 root armour to lvl 1 wolf armour and the latter gives 18 more defence!

[opal prairie]

A deathsquito will still murk you in wolf armor but won't in root, so maybe mix and match the root chest with wolf pieces.

[hollow crag]

Wait

I can retrieve world save maybe?

[fair cairn]

i dont know much about that, i guess you can click on manage saves and look if you cant find a older save from before your loss of iron? im not 100% sure

[hollow crag]

Probably not now that i checked it but we will see am logging back in now

[fair cairn]

easier would probably be to just spawn in the 30 iron you lost with decommands since its the games fault for losing it

[hollow crag]

Iron still gone

[hollow crag]

Never used dev cmds before

ig i will just abuse the dupicate glitch

its the game fault that just killed my 30 iron

[fair cairn]

a quick google search can tell you how to activate devcommands or even a youtube video can

[old echo]

luckily I'm not at the plains yet me and the family just got to the mountains and currently the root armour is a bit of a liability, especially against cultists

[rain flare]

No kidding

There was a very funny vid someone posted before the Horde attacked the discord, I’ll send it to you in dm if you’d like

I can’t repost here cause it’s not mine

[old echo]

sure

lmao yeah it was something like that

the fire weakness is absolutely crippling, and the relatively low armour value of root is on display when you get hit

[uncut bough]

Damn is root armor that bad?

I thought i would be craft and upgrading the root armor until mountain biome

[opal prairie]

It is a great armor to mix and match with, though fire enemies are your bane.
I've used it all trough the mountains and well into plains but I went all out on bow, so it is a different playstyle.
Lure enemies to were you can plink em from safety and make sure you can get away if it is getting dicey.
Certainly helped that my friend was a tank with the wolf armour.

[rain flare]

Biggest issue is root is a ranged set
And people like to use it in melee

So many mobs do fire damage dude
You have to revert to bows for it to be effective

Can you imagine ||being tarred in the plains and a fueling wacks you with a torch?||

[old echo]

oddly never found surtlings an issue in my root

[rain flare]

Rain ☔️
Swamp is kinda unique for that

[old echo]

oh yeah never thought of that

plus I just snipe surtlings with a bow, so often they don't get to fight back

cultists are harder to manage in root cos bows are harder to be effective with in the confines of a cave where the cultist just charge you down and flame you

[uncut bough]

Oddly specific, cant imagine that

But i would be scared if i got tarred and feathered

[old echo]

Root was an absolute savious against bow draugr, those things hit so much harder than skellie archers and the pierce resist really dulled their damage

[rain flare]

Try imagining ||the plains boss hammering you with meteors and getting zapped with tar||

[opal prairie]

Been there done that, hope to never experience it again.

[rain flare]

Same

I had a similar experience fighting ||Moder|| the other day.

||Running from a stone golem and moder’s ice rain only to be frozen in my tracks by a drakes that snuck up on me||

[opal prairie]

I haven't copied that feat but got close, I noticed the ||drake|| in the nick of time so I was able to dodge roll and shoot it, disposed of the ||golem|| by luring it on a rock with a steep drop off and breaking that rock from a safe spot, so ||golem|| dropped down and couldn't get back up.
Then ||Moder|| was the only one left and she went down.

[rain flare]

Noice! 🤩

[wintry dagger]

When will the new update be released?

[opal prairie]

First half of 2024.

[lusty crescent]

We're half way through the first half 😔

[rain flare]

True

Which means it could be any day now 🤩🤩🤩

[uncut bough]

devs finna release the update at 31 of May to guarantee it being in "first half"

actually if we counting June then 30 of June

[vocal rivet]

June is in the first half of the year, so yes.

And the devs will release it as soon as the PTB is done and who knows how long that might take.

[smoky quarry]

My 1st Yag fight was between a fulling camp & a tar pit. Fighting Yag drew them all near. Fullings were chasing blobs, i was after fullings & Yag after me. Mayhem

[light moat]

Absolute chaos lol did you come out on top?

[smoky quarry]

yes. After a long time. Food expired mid fight

[round laurel]

hai boys

[raven heron]

sounds like fun haha

[uncut bough]

just upgraded cooking station to level 2 and the food variety unlocked is immense. Black soup? that thing sounds like it gives straight Cancer to the consumer

[opal prairie]

Luckily we are already dead so doesn't matter much if we contract cancer or not.

[plush umbra]

check the food stats, i promise it doesn't include cancer

[uncut bough]

who in the right mind would go: yes, the ingredient i got from the 2 most disgusting creature that is probably rotting, will make good sosig and soup

[opal prairie]

Vikings that are already dead but do need sustenance that's who.

[vocal rivet]

Wait till he finds out where REAL sausage meat comes from.

[uncut bough]

u r telling me real sausage meat comes from zombies too?

[glacial seal]

anyone want play together ?

[uncut bough]

at least the muckshake is cheap and sustainable,

but it still has ooze..... blegh

[vocal rivet]

You should be able to find someone in #1024264966712340510 Or make a post in there for others to find.

[opal prairie]

The intestines are pretty accurate, irl they are from animals though.

[uncut bough]

yes i know the casings of sosig is animal ( usually pig) intestines but zombies intestine?

[fair cairn]

yup, even made some a while ago with game we hunted

[fair cairn]

the only difference is, this one is just alive for the wrong reasons again
where as IRL they are killed only once before being turned into food

here id guess they died twice

[uncut bough]

"finally, some f-ing food"

[paper marsh]

wait until you turn the difficulty up to very hard and raid frequency up to max. Constant one-shot surtling raids

Can always take a dip in the ocean to negate their damage tho

[strange owl]

Today's the day me and the homie confront Yag for the first time. Anyone got any zesty tips for the fight? We got a Lox tamed to provide some additional assistance

[plush umbra]

depends on how spoilery it should be. being ||undead and a fire sorcerer, he takes some spirit and frost damage||, expanding your options for weapons to use. also highly recommend bringing ||fire resistance wines|| if you don't have them on you already

[opal prairie]

||Anti fire wine will|| will stand you in good stead, ||silver sword|| does good damage, use the pillars as cover for his ||beam attack||, clear out the surroundings and have a small base with a portal or bed nearby for if you die.
Having one annoy him so the other can sneak in the back and do some damage is a good strategy since you are with two.
Learn his animations for which attack will be coming, he has ||three|| distinctive animations for his attacks and each attack has a different way to defend against.

[plush umbra]

anything with better backstab bonus instead silver sword

it's unlikely you're quick enough to even make use of that one hit

and he ||strongly resists pierce|| so no knife is particularly great against him.

[rain flare]

Sadly yes 😂

[opal prairie]

There certainly is but you can't always backstab so having a weapon that does decent damage even without backstab is preferred in my opinion.
Also what winter typed below this.

[paper marsh]

Does meleeing an enemy send out an alertness radius?

[opal prairie]

Any attack makes noise and might attract other enemies.

[plush umbra]

just in case it's not clear: backstab isn't a multiplier for hitting an enemy from behind, it's a multiplier for hitting an enemy while it has not aggrod yet.
additionally, it has a 5 minute cooldown. even if the enemy calms down and you hit it unaware again, it won't trigger a backstab hit again unless the 5 minutes are over yet

[strange owl]

Both amazing help and tips @opal prairie & @plush umbra !! Much thanks 🙏🏻

[rain flare]

The biggest thing for this is not only weapon choice, but prep, attack patterns, etc

[paper marsh]

oooh that's good to know. I was so sure you couldn't backstab an enemy twice, but felt like I saw exceptions to it every once in a while 😅

[plush umbra]

well if you wait long enough after the first backstab and let it calm down, you can do it more than once

but on bosses that's probably not an option since they're always alert from like half a second after they spawn

[rain flare]

Small hint:
||clear the tar pits or fueling camps from the surrounding area
Spawn protect the immediate vicinity so 🦟’s don’t spawn an wreck you||

[plush umbra]

(they're probably calm for a split second when being loaded back in after unloading too.)

[rain flare]

Also, black metal sword, frostner and silver sword are the 3 go too weapons

Silver and frostner focuses on hitting the boss as much as possible ||spirit damage over time stacks so you want to hit him as much as you can|| black metal is just stab his ass in between attacks

[plush umbra]

same strat really

[old echo]

hmmm wife has suggested we take off the no metal teleporting to get the silver off the mountain

[exotic cradle]

just yeet it down, have wife waiting at bottom, superfast

[rain flare]

Build a boat and ride the silver down the hill

[opal prairie]

With silver and frostner you want small quick attacks to ramp up the ticks with black metal you want the big damage stab.

[old echo]

except the silver just drops and doesnt roll very well

[opal prairie]

This is the most fun way.

[rain flare]

Also, for the love of odin’s beard, do NOT try and bow Yagluth

[plush umbra]

i feel like there are some misunderstandings about how DoT works going on here.
though i guess due to a bug, hitting more often does very minimally increase your dps if you have spirit damage.

[rain flare]

You can avoid that ||beam attack|| by just staying close to him

[plush umbra]

not sure if that minimal increase is enough to bring it past the dps of the sword's secondary attack spam

[rain flare]

It’s damage over time, so you want to hit him alot.
Spirit stacks unlike other dot attacks

[exotic cradle]

Put it in a cart, roll the cart

[rain flare]

So more hits = more dot

[plush umbra]

more hits = also more hits. that goes for every weapon. DoT offers literally no unique benefit here

[old echo]

yeah gonna do that

[rain flare]

True, but it is more dps

Compared to just hitting the stab attack.

[plush umbra]

it's not extra damage, it's just the damage listed but delayed.
and "it stacks" just means that one spirit tick does not cancel the previous one out. they don't multiply each other to actually increase the damage of 2 hits if they overlap

[opal prairie]

I thought it worked like fire, each new instance of spirit damage takes the left over damage of the previous ticks and adds onto that.

[plush umbra]

the stab attack's damage multiplier of course also affects the spirit damage, so you get bigger ticks with that one

[strange owl]

||is there a way to spawn something that prevents the bugs from spawing or was that a typo?||

[rain flare]

As far as I am aware the slash creates multiple instances of the damage over time

[abstract rivet]

I always use silver sword for yag

[plush umbra]

no, fire and spirit stack in that they can keep up independent timers of two separate attacks.
if you hit twice in a row with either damage type, the damage numbers per tick will go up as they add together, but the first fire/spirit timer will still run out before the second and the last few ticks will be back to the damage of just one swing

[rain flare]

So rather than just refreshing the damage it stacks multiple dots

[plush umbra]

it's literally just delayed damage. there's nothing special about it

[opal prairie]

But does the extra damage make up for the slower attack?

[rain flare]

This is the question

[plush umbra]

on swords iirc yes

[rain flare]

You place crafting stations around the area

[plush umbra]

they have a x3 damage multiplier on the secondary attack and only a few frames longer of an animation than clubs, which only get x2.5 damage

[rain flare]

Mobs can’t spawn in the vicinity of a base item like a crafting station

You guys are going to be running around a bit, so spawn proofing a small area around the boss altar will help keep the most problematic mobs away

[strange owl]

Ah! I'm a bit stoned lol. I freaking knew that lmfao! Thanks 😄

[plush umbra]

yea but that still makes it functionally identical to instant damage types 😅 there's no extra damage being added. what's listed in the tooltip is what you get, just spread out over a timer (disregarding a bug that adds one additional tick onto the end)

[rain flare]

Ooooh hang in I see where we are confusing each other

[opal prairie]

Testing is required! Doesn't really matter much as long as you keep hitting it and don't give it time to regenerate it will eventually die.

[rain flare]

But which method kills him faster

[plush umbra]

yea i'm just saying that goes for all weapons

[rain flare]

THAT is the question

[plush umbra]

(and damage does not interrupt or delay the health regen. if that were the case, then DoT would indeed have an advantage.)

[opal prairie]

Dead is dead if it takes a bit longer that isn't such a big deal. I don't think it will shave off minutes.

[rain flare]

Just as a note I don’t think it’s adding more damage per say, it’s still the same amount of spirit damage, but each hit of the sword applies that dot to the mob

[plush umbra]

true, you're also locked into place for longer with the secondary attack, which is more dangerous

[rain flare]

||Meteors or lightning fist anyone?||

[plush umbra]

and each hit of any weapon applies that pierce/slash/blunt/frost/lightning damage to the mob too, so what's different

[rain flare]

It’s just a question of which method of attack does more dot

[raven heron]

anyone notice that u can easily dupe stuff on multiplayer if u got a bad connection lol

[rain flare]

Single hard hitting attack with lots of damage, or maaaaany smaller hits that do reasonable damage

[rain flare]

Yup

[plush umbra]

you can also do it by restoring world or player backups, it's not an MMO where a global balance is incredibly important so preventing such exploits is not a high priority

[opal prairie]

This discussion is interesting but I have to head home and make some soup.

[plush umbra]

(or you can just open the console and spawn stuff in 😅 )

[strange owl]

🤮

[plush umbra]

yea true

[rain flare]

You forget attrition 😂
He may die a few minutes later, but that makes it easier to kill me too 🙈

[rain flare]

Carrot or onion?

🥕 🧅

[uncut bough]

potato

[rain flare]

There are no potatoes in Valheim 😂

I could settle for some porridge 🥣

[plush umbra]

we have porridge at home

[opal prairie]

Not sure yet, I need to see what vegetables we have, there will be onion in it no matter what though.
A tater will also go in to thicken it a bit.

[latent wraith]

The porridge at home: 🚰

[plush umbra]

it's a glowing acid green but that just means it's full of vitamins

[vocal rivet]

You can make porridge with barley so that's possible.

[latent wraith]

That can barley be called porridge.

[unreal isle]

Can I play with Client sided mods on a vanillaserver?

[plush umbra]

yes, the game doesn't even have any built-in anticheat

[unreal isle]

But I cant find any servers if i start the game with mods via Thundermod

[plush umbra]

#mods-issues might know more then

[unreal isle]

thanks

[vocal rivet]

I've heard of Thunderstore but never Thundermod.

[obtuse cloud]

I only need 30 more black metal owo

[unreal isle]

I mean thunderstore

[obtuse cloud]

To have 435 black metal, which is what I need

It's kinda hard to collect that much black metal tbf

[vocal rivet]

The little laughing guys just walk up to you with it. It's a doddle!

[obtuse cloud]

Well "hard" more of time consuming lmao

I raided 7 villages already kek

[azure yacht]

Explore plains at night. Done

[serene talon]

i hate fulings

probably because of that village that had around 25 of them

[river wyvern]

how much content are there in valheim_

[leaden grove]

those towers are good source also

[frigid gust]

Hard to measure... if you're good, there's about 30 hours of content so far to get to the endgame. I've got 1200 hours of playtime though. It's a sandbox, so a lot of it is as much content as you want.

[serene talon]

a lot

[azure yacht]

Well, some content is there, some other is over there, a little bit over there as well...

I don't know what you refer to tbh

[obtuse cloud]

im also doing it

[azure yacht]

That 30 hours landmark is exclusively for an experienced player, nowhere near the actual time it'd take for a new player to reach endgame

[obtuse cloud]

i think its around 100h to complete the game, so like 80h to get to endgame

[vocal rivet]

I think 30 hours just wouldn't be enjoyable.

[azure yacht]

This makes much more sense

[frigid gust]

I mean, the Trial of Tyr was finished in 8 hours...

[azure yacht]

That was an experienced player who also had a lot of trial and error beforehand

[frigid gust]

I was more meaning 30 hours is kind of a lower-bound for someone that plays this kind of game well.

[obtuse cloud]

and that was a speedrun

[azure yacht]

Speedruns aren't really a good comparison for normal playthrough playtime

[leaden grove]

its like 2hrs if all you want to do is kill bosses and your name is thread

[latent wraith]

It's probably possible to finish the game in 30 hours without speedrunning and just by general rushing, but I'd strongly advise against it.

It's not a game meant to be rushed but a game full of discovery and exploration.

[azure yacht]

It's like around an hour if you only consider killing eikthyr to finish the game.

Game is too short, devs add content

[obtuse cloud]

i could complete the game in 30h, but where there will be fun from collecting resources

[timber sky]

#screenshots on day 103

[rain flare]

I think a better question is what kind of content are you looking for?

Adventure / exploring till you finish the game dark souls style, probably a few hundred

Wanna build, play with friends, engage in general shenanigans, many hundreds of hours 🤩

[timber sky]

damn alr died to a serpent

lost everything, aint want to play this game no more

[vocal rivet]

Why were you carrying everything at once? In fact, HOW were you carrying everything?

[leaden grove]

stuff should still in be a grave marker. if at night wait for day and sail back serpent will prob be gone

[timber sky]

Nah

Just nah, im done ngl

[leaden grove]

your choice. it is frustrating but it usually isnt as hard to recover gear as it seems initially. also there are plenty of ppl willing to help in the serves and lfg channel

you can get someon to pop in with a boat ready to go and be at the grave in no time at all

[timber sky]

no one wants to play with me anyway, tried lfg 2 times, nothin

[obtuse cloud]

so uh, 50 barley = 20 barley flour?

[timber sky]

i might take a BIG break or just forget about valheim ngl

[hollow pine]

if the game frustrates you atm you might want to take a break. do something else, whatever you like and then you might want to come back refreshed and ready to get your stuff back

[leaden grove]

i might be able to help but not for another 8 hours or so, im at work right now

[timber sky]

haven't been this mad for a long time, thats means i haven't played games like this in a Long time..

[hollow pine]

i had the same experience. thought the game hates me, then took a break and after that its my number one game now.

[frigid gust]

No, Barley is 1:1 to flour. 50 barley into a windmill gets you 50 barley flour out.

[timber sky]

im stayin all night long, get some drinks with friend, that would be cool if u helped me

[obtuse cloud]

thank god

[pliant hatch]

You mean: "Thank Odin"....

[uncut bough]

wait hold on, there is only 3 pieces of Root armor set?

and i was searching for the 4th one, which is normally Cape

[plush umbra]

the fact that troll hide has its own cape is an exception

(||wolf|| and deer hide armor technically do too but there's no set bonus.)

oddly enough swamps are the only biome that currently has no new capes at all

[regal spoke]

Wraith cape when

[austere merlin]

a long time ago people discussed Ocean biome being a future priority, but has the devs said anything about actually doing somthing with the ocean as a biome?

[plush umbra]

i don't remember them saying anything about the ocean lately, and i do remember some statements implying that ocean would not turn into its own stage in progression.

[frigid gust]

Swamps no cape, Plains no light armor... we're getting robbed!

[true umbra]

Idk about a progression change to ocean, but they did change the ocean to be a bit more full, or at least have more activity in adding fish and fishing to it

[frigid gust]

I got the same feeling. They might do a rework of how the ocean biome progresses and add some more content, but it will likely not be its own biome like all the others.

[true umbra]

Id love to see other challenges or creatures added than just sea serpents, but I can also see it being not a primary area of focus. (I'd also personally love being able to build a small home into the boat, but can also understand that's not likely to happen)

[crimson wyvern]

Kraken would be awesome

Tentacles rise up and you've gotta shoot them before they hit you

[azure yacht]

That they're going to see what they can do about it in the future

[mystic gale]

i feel like they should either make the ocean get more difficult the more bosses you kill or add more difficult variations of the ocean the further you go from the middle of the map

[outer abyss]

How to find ppl to play with

[uncut bough]

#1024264966712340510

ah, farming simulator, nothing beats commiting every crops into seeds and then get more crops and then cycle goes on

and the stamina rich food, except for schmuckshake, always takes more veggie than it has the right to

[light moat]

Once you get a system going, farming gets pretty efficient. Also, don’t forget you can eat carrots and onions directly, this is a good way to kinda go easy on your veggie supply while you’re doing less combat-intensive tasks.

[uncut bough]

system? can i hire "person in serfdo-" i mean hard working locals to harvest crop for me

i take that as a yes

[light moat]

Nope, no workers for hire 🙂

[uncut bough]

i am devastated

[light moat]

Speaking of farming, I just got my farmhouse built yesterday. Unfortunately, I’m not very happy with it, but it’s the centerpiece of the apiary, farm and ranch, so it’s not feasible to expand much.

[uncut bough]

did you grow a beard, having a cultivator in hand, your outfit turns into agricutural-work clothes and speak in a Southern voice while owning a ranch?

[light moat]

How’d you know? Also developed a deep love for country music too 🤔

[uncut bough]

I just happen to know

Man atgeir is so good, being able to turn urself into beyblade and stuns at will on almost all enemies is just a life saver

Downside is there is no way to enlarge inventory, and all gears and armor and such already takes 1/4 inv slots which doesnt account for food

[crimson wyvern]

I just eat honey and whatever other stamina food we have the most of when not fighting

[rare birch]

Just crank up the drop rate using world modifier. I have mine at 1.5

[uncut bough]

I’ll pass

Out of curiosity, does drop rate affect how often an item spawn or how much you get out of something

So if i set it to 1.5 , do i have 1.5 more chance of finding tin ore in the wild, and 1.5 more chance of finding a certain monster, or do i get x1.5 ores out of tin deposit,

[cobalt canyon]

1.5 out of deposit

at x3 you get 15 troll hides out of a single troll.

(I set my singleplayer to triple and never regretted it)

[frigid gust]

x3 on a 2* troll would get you 45 hide, then. That's enough to make a full level 2 set of Troll armor, and two of them would give you enough to make a fully upgraded set.

[cobalt canyon]

Though good luck having the carry weight to haul all that back

pretty sure those hides aren't light

[magic quail]

backpak mod

[frigid gust]

That's what portals are for. The only thing you need to actually haul anywhere is ores (and some items)

[magic quail]

backpack mod and teleporter, even ores in the backpack 🙂

[frigid gust]

I mean, you can change a slider to allow ores through portals in the vanilla game. Kinda ruins a lot of the gameplay loop and logistics, though.

[cobalt canyon]

Yeah. I have a recycle mod so I could circumvent the "no metals through portals" but I try not to do that unless I'm at my main base

[frigid gust]

I just tend to not use mods because they usually break the careful balance of the game, and the game tends to break when updates come out

[magic quail]

I'm just not into taking mulitple trips back and forth just, because. Gaming is already enough of a time sync as it is, but yet some mods will totally break emersion.

[cobalt canyon]

I mean, I put epic loot on there and turned up the combat difficulty - the two seemed to balance out alright

Thinking I might need to increase the inventory space to compensate for the loot though

still, 3 mods shouldn't break anything too badly mechanically until Ashlands comes

[raven heron]

heres hoping for more carry weight next update

[formal kraken]

Not likely

[ember panther]

Just allowing a 2nd accessory would be great

No reason I can't wear meginjord and a wishbone

[azure yacht]

It's pointless to do so

[cobalt canyon]

I mean you can use the wishbone to find and meg to haul after you find the thing- but I agree

[azure yacht]

You use wishbone until you find something underground. Afterwards why keep using wishbone if you already found something?

[cobalt canyon]

Second trinket would be nice

[vocal rivet]

They use the same slot that's why.

[azure yacht]

Exactly. Switch them then. What's the point of having both at the same time?

[cobalt canyon]

What about the Mistlight? You need that constantly

[paper marsh]

Only having one accessory is more a problem once you hit mistlands. But I’d say it’s very easy to get used to using one thing at a time

[azure yacht]

Put wisp torches

[ember panther]

Mistlands caps your weight at 300

[vocal rivet]

It doesn't cap your weight at all. That's standard carry weight.

[formal kraken]

I wish slots were more graphically shown. Even if it isn't a dedicated slot for an item, at least show me what slots are available, how many there are, and wtf is in it. The system needs some tlc.

[vocal rivet]

There's an icon for each item, what more do you need?

[merry pebble]

whyt do you mean? when there is no icon in the slot its empty...

[cobalt canyon]

Valheim is 100% unfinished. It does make a good base for mods to fill in though

[vocal rivet]

It's about 80% finished.

[cobalt canyon]

Which...is 100% unfinished

if it were 99% finished it would be 100% unfinished because it is....unfinished

[formal kraken]

Head equipment slot, chest eq... Trinket equipment slot, ammo equipment slot, etc.

None are graphically represented and you guess at their existence.

[vocal rivet]

Those are't specific, that's why.

[azure yacht]

I assume you mean visually

[cobalt canyon]

I usually just put my equipment, food, and ammo on one side of my inventory

[vocal rivet]

That's the weirdest maths I've ever seen.

[cobalt canyon]

Dude. I was using 100% to give emphasis not to take measurements

It's not supposed to be mathematical

[vocal rivet]

Don't use maths if you don't mean to.

[azure yacht]

Making the character have some of the gear show visually wouldn't be bad. Like an arrow quiver if you have arrows equipped (but it'd be only visual, not an actually functional quiver)

Although the only inconvenience about it is probably having to make a model for each arrow as not all are the same

It's more work than it shows at first sight, for not that much worth

[vocal rivet]

If you want to know what gear you're using, you can always, I dunno, look at your character?

[latent wraith]

When you equip something it's clearly shown that it is equipped with a different colour background. That's hardly difficult to see even if you've forgotten that you've equipped it.

[cobalt canyon]

I thought arrows already had models

When you drop them on the ground

[formal kraken]

How long did it take all of you to learn the hard way how ammo and trinket equipment slots work? Would it have been easier if there was, you know, an empty trinket icon spot in your tab menu? Ffs

[latent wraith]

Not as part of the character or as patr of the quiver. That's not the same visual as a full arrow lying on the ground (unless you want them to just be lying on top of your head or something).

[vocal rivet]

5 minutes?

[latent wraith]

Approximately 4 seconds, I reckon. "Click thing. Hmm, nothing happened. Right click thing. Oh."

[formal kraken]

Ok guess I'm scraping the barrel for brains compared to these egos

[latent wraith]

I guess I read the tooltip of the things as well

[vocal rivet]

Not brains, just maybe common sense? It's all quite intuitive.

[cobalt canyon]

Too be fair you do sound a lil' annoying

just a touch

[exotic cradle]

Until you hear him speak, then he sounds wonderful ❤️

[merry pebble]

derek may sound quite annoying to some newcomers (even to some seasoned users sometimes 😛 ) but he generaly means well

[mystic quail]

where is the political debate channel?

[cobalt canyon]

Dammit I don't have embed perms

[merry pebble]

did you read the rules?

[cobalt canyon]

oh well

https://tenor.com/view/we-dont-do-that-here-black-panther-tchalla-bruce-gif-16558003

[mystic quail]

Ofc, I checked the square🤷‍♂️

[vocal rivet]

Only Helpers, Mods and Devs do.

[merry pebble]

doesent seem like it since you asked this question

[vocal rivet]

Clicking to say you've read them doesn't mean you've read them.

[mystic quail]

Legally

[vocal rivet]

Not sure Discord server rules are particularly legally binding, but either way, it would answer your question about political debate.

[exotic cradle]

Did you only join the official discord of a game to discuss politics?

[cobalt canyon]

Let me see....if you could set emoji's/stickers to be the pieces to the thing you want to send....then set a program to edit your message constantly....huh.

gif bypass found. It'd probably take a few terabytes.

[heady parcel]

Right, ye seasoned chicken-breeders, what's the optimal number of grown hens to keep in a troll-cave pen?

[mystic quail]

Nah, waiting for someone to respond on my (LF group request) I just prefer to join a conversation with everyone's attention XD

[heady parcel]

Well getting a political debate going is an excellent way to get a forum to degenerate into pointless arguments. It is not surprising most game forums/discords frown upon it. We come here to talk Valheim, not MAGA, brexit or whatever topic the latest flavour-of-the-month real world political meltdown is about.

[exotic cradle]

can we not

[cobalt canyon]

yeah not.

[merry pebble]

I would just say Its great way to get banned 😄

[heady parcel]

That too

[cobalt canyon]

ok how do I make this make sense

does it make sense to anybody what I'm trying to say?

[mystic quail]

Anyone read Three body problem?

[exotic cradle]

Guys this is Valheim chat, not General, move there.

[cobalt canyon]

Right. Valheim thing

[latent wraith]

Not yet but it's on my bookshelf and I am looking forward to reading it.

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, you want a sticker for each frame of the GIF and then constantly update the post so it animates.

[heady parcel]

Anyway, does anyone know what the optimal number of grown hens to keep in a troll cave is? To get lots of eggs and chicks, without saturating the spawn while not being so few they prance around in separate corners of the cave?

[cobalt canyon]

Not image. Lots of channels don't have image perms

[vocal rivet]

That's why I edited it.

[exotic cradle]

For the better, trust me no one wants to see your gif reaction spam 😛

[vocal rivet]

I don't think you could remotely get that refreshing at a useable framerate.

[cobalt canyon]

Anyways- VALHEIM

[vocal rivet]

But yeah, also not for #valheim-chat really.

[cobalt canyon]

Were the Dverger camps a sort of prototype for some of the fortress stuff in Ashlands?

[merry pebble]

we have no idea

[vocal rivet]

I wouldn't have thought so, no.

[heady parcel]

I believe the Dvergr camps were, mostly, just dvergr camps

[vocal rivet]

Nothing was planned for Ashlands when they made the dverger camps.

[heady parcel]

I had a lonely two-star dvergr rogue roaming around outside my shroom farm, he was killing off both intruding lox and fulings, as well as seekers. But sadly my brother hit him with an arrow when trying to assist, so now he's gone and all the other dvergr nearby very angry with us. "Oops"

[cobalt canyon]

If I remember right Ashlands spawned basically along the south pole- is that still going to be the case?

[latent wraith]

Yeah it's the southern edge of the map.

[vocal rivet]

It hasn't moved, yes.

It can't really go anwhere else to avoid breaking every single map in the game.

[heady parcel]

Ashland launch week - SUPPLIIIIISE - IT'S IN THE CLOUDS EVERYWHERE MOAHAHAHA

[vocal rivet]

Just...no.

[merry pebble]

tho ashlands will now be only accessible by boat and no other land will touch them.

[latent wraith]

...as an old wood elf warhammer player, moving biomes would be interesting. :p

[heady parcel]

Yeah, no. But it paints a horrible picture

[cobalt canyon]

Meteor strikes from the ashlands.

[latent wraith]

fond memories of using forests as troop transports.

[cobalt canyon]

Guys I have it

Imprison Greydwarfs in the water so that, when they throw rocks at you, they push you towards where you want to go

Ez transport.

[vocal rivet]

Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane,I cannot taint with fear.

[heady parcel]

Well, I understand this time the whole biome will be reformed regardless of previously explored parts, or will unfogged bits still get skipped by the reformation?

[cobalt canyon]

Nah regardless I'm generating a new singleplayer map when it comes

[azure yacht]

I meant when they were in the quiver. As having needle arrows equipped but the quiver still showing other arrows would be very weird visually-wise

[vocal rivet]

Exactly the same as every other new biome introduced. Unexplored areas will update, explored areas will not.

The only difference is the coastline which IS changing.

[merry pebble]

as i understand it only edges will be changed regardles of exploration, other parts will update as derek said

[frigid gust]

No, the entire Ashlands area will change, it will become a single island/continent instead of the separate islands they are now.

[heady parcel]

In other words - explore current placeholder lands at your own peril, nobody really knows what happens with explored parts on update - except whatever happens won't be good...

[vocal rivet]

That's what I've said for 3 years, yes.

[cobalt canyon]

Pre mistlands there were mods that finished biomes I think

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I'm careful to avoid those bits normally, but this time I have this itch to explore EVERYTHING and to hell with future updates...

[cobalt canyon]

I never played before Mistlands dropped though

[odd helm]

Then be prepared to make new worlds on new updates then

[frigid gust]

From what Smiffe has said to me in early testing, the whole landmass will change, period. Full terraforming of everything in the Ashlands area. If you have explored any of it, it will remain empty of content (except enemy spawning) in the unmasked regions.

[vocal rivet]

That's... new.

[frigid gust]

The terraforming is, yes. Everything else around it is business as normal, though.

[vocal rivet]

That wasn't remotely my understanding, but I could be wrong. It happens.

[heady parcel]

I played for a couple of weeks at release, then my other gaming addiction sucked me back and I didn't touch Valheim again until months after Mistlands released. So I have an original release era world seed with nothing explored. It's a lovely map, and this one I am veeery committed to not breaking by getting too close to Ashlands or Deep North...

[frigid gust]

The terraforming is of course only in the current Ashlands area, everything else should be untouched. But all of the Ashlands terrain will be updated, explored or not, but explored areas won't get anything but enemy spawns. Unless things have changed internally in the last couple months that's the way that the behavior was described to me.

[merry pebble]

great to know 😄

[vocal rivet]

All I knew was that the coastlines of Ashlands was changing to ensure that you could never WALK there.

[warm loom]

Day 8 writing almighty Odin a poem until the ashlands drops. Act 2 Pt 5 (Biome Specific: The plains)

[vocal rivet]

Uh oh, spam incoming.

[warm loom]

In the sprawling plains, where birch trees sway,
Great stone towers rise, in the light of day.
With Fullings scuttling, and Lox's might,
And Deathsquitos buzzing, in the shimmering light.

Through fields of flax, and barley tall,
We journey forth, heeding nature's call.
In search of blackmetal, for weapons gleam,
In plains' vast expanse, we chase the dream.

Beneath the open sky, so wide and clear,
We face the challenge, without fear.
With Yagluth's shadow, looming near,
In the plains' embrace, we persevere.

Oh, what wonders in this open land,
Where beasts and foes, with strength demand.
In Yagluth's domain, we make our stand,
In plains' wide reach, with courage grand.

So let us roam, with spirits high,
Through birch and barley, 'neath the sky.
In plains' embrace, we'll conquer all,
And rise victorious, at Yagluth's call.

[vocal rivet]

Yep, bang goes that conversation we were having.

[warm loom]

Much too difficult to scroll, my apologies

[vocal rivet]

Indeed. Just don't do it again.

[warm loom]

I will do it again, every single day until the Ashlands drop

[exotic cradle]

why?

[light moat]

Might be better to post it in fanart? It’s a cool poem though

[warm loom]

I might even wait until you have a conversation Derek

[vocal rivet]

Well, then I'd just report you.

[warm loom]

We have been over this, this is the valheim main chat. I am allowed to post valheim related things in this chat. Your conversation does not trump every single other person on this discord channel

[cobalt canyon]

y'know we're halfway through the first half of this year?

[latent wraith]

not yet, no.

[vocal rivet]

Not till the end of March.

[cobalt canyon]

shhh

[heady parcel]

Anyway, since nobody had any input I can provide some: Keeping six adult hens in a troll cave (with decently placed and enclosed fireplaces) will ensure a crapload of eggs being laid all over the place. So I'm keeping these six queens named and will return occasionally too feed them and slaughter their offspring. Hoah!

[azure yacht]

We're actually at 33% of the first half

[languid root]

But.. you seemed like a person who loves poetry. I am a bit disappointed ngl

[exotic cradle]

Time and place I suppose

[vocal rivet]

Oh, I have no issue with poetry, in the right place.

[light moat]

Ooooh I’ve never thought about keeping chickens in a cave, good idea!

[vocal rivet]

It's a cheese, so I guess that's why no-one answered.

[languid root]

Real poetry doesn't know time or space

[frigid gust]

I'm not sure, but you might need to be in the cave for them to lay eggs and reproduce, you can't just feed them and bounce.

[heady parcel]

Is it a cheese? As in exploit? I dunno, if it works it works, and the chickens are happy so I'm happy 😄

[light moat]

Hoping to get my first few eggs tonight, I could try putting some in my forge cave?

[vocal rivet]

Well, you're not supposed to be able to build in crypts/caves etc so yes.

[light moat]

But you can build campfires in them still, right?

[north umbra]

You can place a fire pit yeah

[vocal rivet]

Yeah. Which I guess is how the chicken thing works.

I've never bred chickens so I have no idea.

[heady parcel]

Aaaah right, yeah that is limited. But enough things are possible to make it viable so I see no reason not to do it

[north umbra]

Cave chickens is my new favorite idea lol

[vocal rivet]

I mean, I wasn't trying to stop you.

As far as I'm concerned people can play however they want.

[frigid gust]

Lots of people use caves for chicken breeding, it is a bit cheese, but not a huge deal. Still hard to place a campfire where they won't kill themselves on it 😉

And if you're not actively in the cave you are too far away for them to eat and lay eggs, so you need to hang out there for reproduction

[latent wraith]

Won't it be enough to be on the ground in the same zone as the cave?

[vocal rivet]

No, they wouldn't be rendered in.

[frigid gust]

Don't think so. If they're not loaded in, they aren't doing their thing. The caves are basically unloaded when you're not in them because they're so far away.

[light moat]

So my coop is a small building inside a roundpole fence enclosure. I’m going to have a campfire pretty much right outside of the enclosure- obviously close enough to the coop that I still have the warm buff. Is that optimal?

[north umbra]

They don't visually render, but they are still in the scene

[frigid gust]

They pause just like if you teleport to a different base.

[frigid gust]

That's how I do it. Fire outside the hut, or a hanging brazier inside.

[heady parcel]

The way I've figured it works inside the cave is that time passes, so eggs will hatch and chicks grow - but the hens won't lay new eggs while you're away

[light moat]

Perfect, thanks!

[north umbra]

I'll have to check that, I don't really know when unity objects stop updating 🤔 if they do not update sounds like if they aren't visually rendering they aren't updating

[exotic cradle]

i just have chickens roaming everywhere 🤷‍♀️

[frigid gust]

Remember also that hatching and maturing and two separate steps, and you need to show up for each of those steps. They won't go all the way from egg->mature hen in a single return trip.

[heady parcel]

My fave thing about the cave anyway is that the chicks can't magically glitch through walls and disappear...

[north umbra]

I have been putting wooden beams along the insides of my pens to keep animals away from the walls, helps stop the glitching

[frigid gust]

I've also had issues with hens "mobbing" and all hanging out together, which makes them lay fewer eggs. I've had to segregate some of my hens into individual sections to get more effective egg production.

[languid root]

Damn, i wrote a whole book about chickens and caves and accidentally deleted it..

Should have made it in a form of poetry

[heady parcel]

I'm naming my hens after my daughers, seems appropriate since we're a family of chicken heads..

[digital iron]

Sorry guys, Im going to intervene in your conversations and state my opinion on abandoned pois in this game. I have been playing this game for more than 2 years already, must have to say abandoden castles and pois should have more story telling elements to them

Like the little mountain hut does in mountains, i love it btw!

You know the small little details in mountain hut made out of core wood logs? Theres campfire, chair, table and some stuff left over like someone actually lived and thrived there once

[heady parcel]

To be honest, I love that there is no story to them - they're just there and it's up to you to imagine whatever happened there. My fave is the survivor hut built in a ruined tower in the swamp, that one is awesome.

[digital iron]

Not sure about thriving but atleast lived

[heady parcel]

Edit, dammit the hut on top of a tower in the SWAMP, not the plains. Sigh...

[north umbra]

Was just about to ask like WHAT

[digital iron]

So to return to my point, towers in black forest seems too empty and shallow

[heady parcel]

They say someone, at some time, built a tower here, and they're long gone. Does it really need to say more?

[north umbra]

I like the black forest towers a lot, one of my favorite structures

[digital iron]

Just ruined castles, nothing else. I don’t know, what could be lore behind them? Maybe since greydwarwes are overprotective of their territory they slowly destroyed them piece by piece

Ruins in meadows seems to be way better shape than in black forest

[heady parcel]

More trolls in the forest

[hollow pine]

i'm not behind them 🤔

[heady parcel]

First time I met a troll I hid in a tower and the thing tore it down entirely just to get at me

It was like a week after release, I'd managed to make deer hide leathers and a stagbreaker and felt immortal, so I walked into the forest. STOMP STOMP STOMP <PANIC> "Oh a tower I'l be safe there!" <lots of crashes> corpse run

Anyway, that scenario alone can probably explain a lot of damage on structures in the black forest. The trolls have notoriously poor impulse control and a black belt in Smashing Stuff.

But a serious answer to @digital iron - I personally believe that the lack of lore behind the traces of civilisation you find in Valheim (ruined villages, towers and fortifications etc) is very much part of the charm. The lore to find is in what you can read between rune stones and the actual remains you find. Shipwrecks, graves, walking dead. The mystery is part of the appeal, when everything has an explanation the mystery is gone.

Now, something I would very much like to be able to do is to raise runestones of my own. Make it stupidly expensive (in stone, surtling cores, black cores or whatever) but make it possible. Even in my offline worlds I'd love to be able to raise stones to brag about my deeds.

[frigid gust]

Do keep in mind that the game is not finished... they're still adding core content, the biomes and weapons and enemies and so on. From what I gather they are at least planning on a pass or two over the overall "polish", and that would definitely include lore, runestones, etc. Need to remember that this is still a prerelease game, even as complete as it feels, and has a lot of work to still occur 😉

[grave radish]

hey ive found Hel's brazier which is a modded boss fight and i was wondering if anyone knows what i need to sacrifice to it

[cobalt canyon]

It being pre-release does give the modding community an excellent chance to provide variations of the game to suit a larger playerbase though

[odd helm]

That's a question for #mods-discussion

[grave radish]

gotcha

[gilded glade]

who wanna play

i just got to bronze era so looking for help

[merry pebble]

you can make a post in #1024264966712340510 😄

[cobalt canyon]

yeah idk. I want to find a server but I'm picky about the groups I choose

[violet edge]

.

[regal spoke]

Talking and getting to know people is the way

[uncut bough]

seeing how boar meat is used for sosig, now i really feel the need to tame boar

[gilded glade]

yo

[teal python]

I’ve never been much for animal taming. If I need boar meat I will walk around the meadows for a day or so, hunting and foraging. I enjoy hunting.

[uncut bough]

i too enjoy hunting but there is a point i need to roam the world

[light moat]

I prefer boar farms, even if they’re generally less efficient- boars add a lot of life to my base cosmetically 😁

[west dawn]

hey, i wanted to ask smth, ive explored some ashlands and its a big piece of the biome, and from what ive red online this will remain the same without updating, do we know if we will get the option to completely regenerate ashlands?

[odd helm]

Not without third party tools, no

[cobalt canyon]

nope. As far as your map is concerned it's damaged

[west dawn]

@odd helm do you know any specific third party tool? cause ive put so many hours that i dont wanna loose all the buildings and the progress

[odd helm]

#mods-discussion would be a good place to ask. I know there's at least one, but it'd probably need to be updated after the update is released.

And I can't vouch for any possible side effects of force-updating your world like that.

[unique onyx]

maybe could use it before then delete it or whatever

[cobalt canyon]

Characters are pretty static, as long as you have the endgame tools rebuilding your base on a new map shouldn't be too much trouble

[odd helm]

That would be the cleanest solution, yeah

[cobalt canyon]

You could even break down some of the rare stuff and take it with you

[gilded glade]

add me if you wann play together new ish world 🙂

[odd helm]

Give #1024264966712340510 a browse or make a post there, this channel is not for LFG posts.

[gilded glade]

ok

[west dawn]

it really sounds like a clean solution but recreating the world is too much work, we are talking about 15k-16k instances x7 bases, i aint building allat again xD.

[gilded glade]

how do you travel in snow??

[vocal rivet]

Walking?

[pliant hatch]

With cold feet?

[strange arrow]

snowbike

[pliant hatch]

On the back of a golem. 🙂

Or perhaps a sledge pulled by two wolves?

[strange arrow]

zip line

[pliant hatch]

Would work well for going down.

I'm wondering, for longer distances, would Moder Airlines or Drake Airways be a better solution?

[strange arrow]

in sons of the forest they work going up also, but traditionally, ye

flying mounts has been on the no list since forever

[pliant hatch]

Just get hit by a golem when you're close to the edge of the mountains and you'll be flying down no matter what you do.
The flying isn't the worst part either, the landing is.......

[cobalt canyon]

Don't forget the knife dive either

[sudden wedge]

guys you hyped for the update in 3 months and 4days?

[azure yacht]

It won't be released after that time tho

[sudden wedge]

i bet it will be released at the last day of the first half of 2024

[azure yacht]

Certainly not

[sudden wedge]

why not

[azure yacht]

Why yes?

[sudden wedge]

more time to fix stuff and it is still on the deadline

noone can complain because it will still be the first half of 2024

[azure yacht]

There are several indications that is almost ready

[sudden wedge]

bro i wish i had some copium left but dark and darker left me dry

[azure yacht]

Game being at a discount right now could be one

No more walk&talks for a while

[sudden wedge]

imagine you wake up tomorrow and the update is out

i hope it will not release in like 2 weeks because a few games are coming out then

valheim update would be overshadowedd 😦

[vocal rivet]

We don't even have a PTB yet. Steady on.

[sudden wedge]

what are these flowers next to you guys

You'll be waiting a while.

Too late

[serene talon]

okay

[languid root]

Some year 31 of june will happen, don't ruin my childhood dream

[serene talon]

now i have also became flower

[languid root]

I knew someone was walking fish, otherwise how it gets to the mountains

[sudden wedge]

how do the fish survive in the mountains, the wolves somehow dont eat them

i guess they just taste terrible

[languid root]

Wolves don't have a cauldron

[errant girder]

All the way from Africa too. Those lungfish sure are persistant! lol

[serene talon]

wolves dont need fishin hat

[pliant hatch]

Of course not.

They got the unique Wolf-head helmet.

[regal spoke]

I picture them wearing us around the cave

[haughty plume]

Wow

I finally beat the queen, and that takes the proverbial shit-cake for most miserable bossfight ever

All of my armour was broken, my bow was broken, and 2 of my weapons were broken

[regal spoke]

Congratulations

[clever saffron]

How do I get tamed boars to follow me

[frigid gust]

You can't. You can build a chute with fences and push them along, or use a harpoon and turn on friendly fire to drag them, but they're otherwise very... pig-headed 😛

[heady parcel]

All of that in Ashslands? If you've built that much there there's not much you can do except dismantle it all and weep. Only Ashlands will change, not currently live biomes.

[sage dock]

yeah pretty much harpoon them and drag them to where you want them to go. its a good idea to get them to follow you a ways then harpoon them the rest of the way. the DPS is pretty low but it wont survive long distance

and make sure where you are keeping them isnt anywhere near any kind of flame. torches, fireplaces, forges any of it. when they flare up can set off their aggro

[uncut bough]

I am suffering from success rn, i stockpiled too much food and when I created spice rack for the cauldron, i cant even craft enough to do away with all these raw ingredients

So i am flooded with carrotsoup, deerstew, turnip stew, some stew made of honey, turnip, blood bag, sosig

Medium health potion, medium stamina potion

And i can still craft more but the night crept in

Also it is good that carrot based food is still perfectly usable in swamp instead of being totally useless

[sage dock]

better to have too much than getting absolutely gutter stomped with no way of getting through

[uncut bough]

Yea but it is bad when my 3 chests of cooked food is already filled with cooked meat

I shouldn’t have grilled so much boar meat and neck tails

At least cooked deer meat is recyclable with carrot

Cooked boar meat and necktail shrimply arent

[frigid gust]

That's why I usually don't cook that stuff until I need it, because when you get too much of it you could just overcook it into coal and get a useful product

[sage dock]

yeah better you never cook neck tails.

not like you really have to worry about spoilage. that died in the ass long before the hearth and home update

[pliant hatch]

You can use the cooked boar meat and necktails as "base food" combined with honey the moment you aren't out exploring or gathering resources; but working at your home base instead.

It'll give you some HP and stamina to deal with most issues at your base and even enough to defend yourself, should that be needed.

The only other option is to wait until you're able to craft a special device that becomes available after getting something from the mountains - I think - in which you can turn anything you don't need into char coal.

[sage dock]

You mean the obliterator?

[frigid gust]

Downside of the obliterator is it's like 20 things to get a single piece of coal, whereas overcooking meat is 1:1. But it is a way to get rid of it.

[uncut bough]

well this is what i actually am doing

i eat low tier food to roam Black Forest to find some blueberries or carrot seed

while still being perfectly able to fight troll if need be

man i shouldn't have crafted so many muckshakes, i am basically wholesaling muckshakes rn

but it is so easy to make and it gives a decent Stamina buff for swamp biome tho

[sage dock]

ehhhh id rather eat raw ooze than have the muckshaks. i know im not eating or drinking them literally, but yeah hard pass haha

[errant girder]

Pretend it's a minty "Shammuck shake" from Micky D's lol

[sage dock]

don't particularly enjoy those either XD diddley dee leprechaun spunk in a cup

genuinely waiting for them to come up with a pumpkin spice thing for a seasonal drink

[marble sable]

I’m so fucking pissed rn

I was working on my massive new bass that I’ve been working on for 30 hours now and a troll came out of nowhere

[sage dock]

well you seen what the allies did to the Bismarck im not suprirsed

[marble sable]

Killed me and destroyed half my base

[marble sable]

Stfu nerd

Let me be mad

[sage dock]

right. ignored

[marble sable]

And I think my loot despawned because I can’t find it

Why do you squint

@strange crow

[sage dock]

probably looking for a single fuck to give, and not finding it

[drowsy magnet]

Always put up a basic wooden fence around the perimeter, it's enough to hinder their pathfinding

[uncut bough]

i went afk for 1 minutes 30 seconds and when i came back , the draugur and skeleton armies is wrecking my houses

it destroyed 2 chests and its content spilled out of the house with multiple broken doors and walls

so i decided to finally place down all the defensive wall around the perimeter, it will slow them down at least

[sage dock]

raised ground with walla either side of usually upsets their pathfinding and they dont attack the walls either

[acoustic flame]

when valheim discord got hacked, did we all get kicked?

and....i wanted to nkow if theres a new ptr

[cobalt canyon]

I know channels were deleted, but I didn't join before the place got got

In fact it was mention of it on the steam thing that I joined this place

[acoustic flame]

yeah i never left, i just rejoined now lol

[lunar sapphire]

But to rejoin means you had left, even if you "left" unwillingly / not on your own accord

[timid ore]

I didn't have to rejoin myself 👀

[uncut bough]

oh god the level 1 root armor gives less protection than level 3 troll armor

i am regretting ever using Root armor everyday

A trade off though. Start off your battles from a distance with +15 bow skill and if you're already levelled high enough you could finish most things off before a fight even begins 😛

and res to pierce, at the cost of being vulnerable to flames

[uncut bough]

literally unusable

[lunar sapphire]

It's usuable just not optimal for every situation

[uncut bough]

i want my armor to be resistant to all kind of damage and easy win encounters

[buoyant lake]

My buddy forgot fire damage with the root armor and went to do a frost cave 😅😅😅

[lunar sapphire]

Classic

[paper marsh]

I think root chest can negate up to 250+ damage which is just wack. Granted that’s under specific circumstances

[gilded glade]

any one here wanna jam

nz time

[supple jasper]

are there any other games that take the valheim formula? almost through another playthrough

I've played Enshrouded for 70 hours and while fun, it's nothing like Valheim really

[fair cairn]

not really anything i can recall thats like valheim

[supple jasper]

what I like most about it having tried other games it's the base raids, random world generation, deadliness of combat and the building system overall

the great part about Enshrouded was that it removed a lot of the grind, but building your base was kinda pointless

[timid ore]

It doesn't check all the boxes, but I juggle Grounded between binge playing Valheim

[supple jasper]

thanks!

[plain bane]

V-rising has vaguely similar 'kill, build, improve repeat' vibes if you like vampire aesthetic and don't mind top-down gameplay.

But nothing I have as of yet played is terribly similar to Valheim.

[golden epoch]

Try 7 Days to Die, pretty cool game, a lot of building. And you have huge hordes of zombies every 7 days.

[strange arrow]

don't the math kids recommend buying bait for that as best value?

[oblique mist]

when the update coming out ?

[strange arrow]

still first half of this year, so up to end of June possible

[oblique mist]

its so far 😢

[pliant hatch]

You might take a look at Force of Nature and Force of Nature 2.
Although those games are having about the same grind as Valheim does.
Also, in FoN you have to build a complete house at one go, while in FoN 2 you're working with componets, like Valheim does. Overal FoN 2 matches Valheim a bit better. Including adding magic near the "end".

5 wood give one coal lol

[carmine grotto]

bruh my brother killed moder in my save and now i got a goblin raid (im still at iron age)

they destroyed everything

[plain bane]

Oof.

[fair cairn]

you can enable player based raids which will disable that but idk the command for resetting boss kills

[uncut bough]

Chest? Do i get more stuff out of chest?

[merry pebble]

I believe that he means the pierce resistance effect

[fair cairn]

upgrading it will give moer armor

also, it has some % i think 50? pierce resistance

[pliant hatch]

Why reset the boss kills?

Simply get 5 new totems and spawn him again.
Works a lot easier.

And is more fun.

[merry pebble]

They are talking about kilting moder not yag

[fair cairn]

the guy is iron level and his brother killed moder
he is not equiped for pplains spawns

[pliant hatch]

So, in that case, get eggs instead of totems

[fair cairn]

he is iron level
he isnt ready for plains enemies

[merry pebble]

There is no problem with fighting the moder, problem Is the raids she enables

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, and it's already pointed out that enabling player enabled raids would solve that.

[fair cairn]

pretty sure doing that will still have plains enemies spawn outside of plains

[pliant hatch]

Most likely, yes. But only at night, so a good motive to remain indoors and sleep during nights until the player is able to deal with them.

[maiden dew]

Hello i,am new here does somebody want to play valheim with me?

[fair cairn]

[maiden dew]

Ok thx

[fair cairn]

[uncut bough]

#1024264966712340510 is the way to go

It is not enough that we help new players, we must smother them with overlapping advices

[summer hinge]

but what about.... #1024264966712340510?

[uncut bough]

It seems all fingers point to #1024264966712340510

[pliant hatch]

So https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 is similar to Rome?
All roads seem to lead there eventually.

[uncut bough]

I am just devastated that cooked boar meat and cooked neck tail cant be recycled to another food

Hell why should sausage is made by only using raw meat, not cooked meat

[pliant hatch]

Because that's how it's done in RL?

[uncut bough]

Yea ik but i still want to recycle them meat man

[pliant hatch]

But then, I don't think there's any nation in the world where they take the tails of lizzards as food.

[uncut bough]

Well i dont think we will be making sosig out of a zombie but here we sre

[pliant hatch]

As I pointed out last night - for me - use it when you're working at your base or the meadows and don't need full health compared to the maximum biome you can deal with.

[sturdy horizon]

Hey today i bought valheim, need a teammate, anyone interested to okay with me? I know all the basics of game

[merry pebble]

You can look through or make post in #1024264966712340510 if you want 😄

[rare birch]

[strange crow]
