waits faster

[worthy turtle]

bru is there any easy way to find the swamp

[proud oyster]

I dunno, my experience with government stuff, albeit second hand, is that everything is more or less figured out / planned ahead of time before any code is even written. Most of the time is in design. Assuming a government agency is actually developing code... if its a contractor, who knows lol.

[ember panther]

There seems to be a massive range for them where I've left skeles at another base. Portaled away. Spawned others then days later portal back and they were still waiting there for my return 🥲such good boys

[light moat]

Just sailing around and looking for dead trees, probably the easiest way

[loud valve]

Depends on the item, but lots of things governments deal with have indefinite timelines. Investigations and reviews will take however long it needs to take, which can change at any point. If the public needs to submit anything though, you can bet there will be a strict deadline of like 10 days or you have to restart the whole process.

[proud oyster]

I dunno, I have a close friend who works at a government lab and everything is very planned out for budgeting purposes I guess. They could certainly decide not to do something because of that. The whole thing sounds pretty exhausting to me, tbh... not the way I like developing software 😛

[odd helm]

Gentle nudge back to the channel topic, please and thanks

[ember anvil]

hey guys, do we know when exactly the ashlands update will drop?

[wide zodiac]

which mixed armor set do you guys prefer. Drake Helm, Root Chest, Fenris legging. OR Fenris Hood, Root Chest, and Fenris Legging?

[wide zodiac]

they dont have an exact date but peeople here are saying first half of 2024

[vocal rivet]

The DEVS are saying first half of the year.

[paper marsh]

nope

[ember anvil]

Yeah thats what i know too

thank youuu

[feral bloom]

!ashlands

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands is releasing in the first half of this year. The command hasn’t worked since the server was hacked.

[feral bloom]

I try it periodically. I miss the commands, so I try them for nostalgia

[shy marlin]

Fenrishood/legging and root chest is the way

[paper marsh]

truly

[wide zodiac]

Needle Arrows or Fire Arrows for moder. Which one does more damage to her?

[paper marsh]

Needle

Fire arrows are pretty good though. Obsidian are slightly better I believe. Needle are way better

[frigid gust]

Hmm... I don't remember, is there anything in the Mistlands that will kill a Misthare, intentionally or even accidentally?

[odd helm]

Dvergr stakes

accidentally, all the time

[frigid gust]

Yeah, there weren't any of those around, and I'm deep in the Mistlands where there's no chance of another biome enemy appearing.

I'm chalking it up to some kinda weird bug and see if I can see it again, no idea how it could have legitimately happened

[shy marlin]

Can a seeker soldier kill it with his 2x slam attack?

Say the soldier got aggroed on a dvergr and the hare got caught in the crossfire

Or like a gjall aggroed on a dvergr and a stray fireball hits the hare?

[paper marsh]

I believe so yeah. Pretty sure mobs do damage to other mobs not in their faction. Even if they dont agro on them

[sour fjord]

just found a draugr in the meadows at night, but there was no draugr village nearby and definitely no swamp nearby, weird

[wispy scaffold]

Have any experimented with creating cultivatable land in mistlands? Seems raising land out of the sea results in rock. Any innovative solutioons out there?

[halcyon blade]

Killing bosses allows certain enemies to start spawning at night in various biomes.

[maiden granite]

||@exotic cradle 🫂||

[sour fjord]

Yeah just looked it up, has to be very foggy conditions at night, though I originally thought it was only after boney, not elder. He got bodied by a brute ironically, but I noticed the sound and investigated

[silk rivet]

There's two kinds of ground there, black where reddish plants may occasionally grow, or brown where grass grows. Only the brown ground is suitable for farming.
When you raise ground, you get what you started with kinda, raising the black stuff won't help for farming.

[charred otter]

How hard would it be to find a meadows near a mountain + plains?

[silk rivet]

Might take a bit of searching around, and depends on your seed how many of those places exist, aka random.
I'd head for any mountains I see, then scout their border.

[charred otter]

Right now sailing, do mountains have a shore?

[silk rivet]

You can always land, though the mountain might be surrounded by some other biome. No strand as such.

[nocturne wolf]

What do you need this specific combination for?

[charred otter]

My base, want to start working on my (hopeflly) final base, want it in meadows but want quick access to mountains and plains nearby so its not such a pain to transfer ores

[nocturne wolf]

If you have full mountains equipment, you could make your base in plains. There are some useful crops that can only grow there.

[charred otter]

Still haven't killed bonemass lol

[silk rivet]

You may end up spending more time finding the right spot than it would cost you to sail some ores around.
I once wanted a similar spot for a mountains base, ended up using the map generator to find what I was looking for.

[charred otter]

Base in plains seems a bit annoying

[nocturne wolf]

It really isnt (unless you’re still in swamp gear, of course)

[charred otter]

I don't know if I want to use a map viewer on the first playthrough, I might

Or maybe just allow metals to save me the grind of moving stuff, both I kinda don't want to do

[nocturne wolf]

I play with allow metals, if it is off I’d just put the metal in another world to move through a portal anyway.

[silk rivet]

I totally get that. Best recommendation I can make for a final base is to put it near the shore, so you can have a harbour.
After plains there is mistlands, and soon ashlands, both will require you to travel again.

[charred otter]

No point in transferring to another word, that's just an inconvinient and cheesy version of allow portal, if I am allowing myself to transfer it thru portals then I'll just do that, the question is if I am fine with that

[nocturne wolf]

It’s what I had to do before world modifiers existed

[silk rivet]

Right now in your place I'd find some meadows towards the south of the map, maybe next to plains / mountains if possible, make your base there at the waters edge.
You'll want a big mountain tho, and it still might not have the boss spawn on it. Same for plains.

[charred otter]

Actually #screenshots, considering maybe living in the meadows I circled (south), big circle is where I might consider looking for a mountain, bcz it's really close to my base, but I doubt I'll find plains there, red line is the only plains I found

It's also really close to the elder/bonemass and a really nice swamp with a bunch of crypts + a geyser

I am pretty sure I saw some mountains nearby there

Actually the mountains are in the undiscovered area above the swamp that is across the river, which is somewhat close

And there is also some mountains below the elder

[silk rivet]

You'll need to be some distance from spawn to find plains, and even further to find mistlands. Getting the perfect spot, aka meadows near everything is probably not possible, so I'd settle for something nice for now, and consider making at least an outpost again later on.

[charred otter]

Now that I look at it, I really like the meadows where "sw" portal is

[silk rivet]

Mind you there isn't much you need in mistlands which can't be teleported, so less of an incentive to have a base right there, but you do want a little outpost for sure.

[charred otter]

Yea ofc, I will want a portal in every biome (or one near mistland if can't directly there)

[silk rivet]

In my solo worlds I always ended up having two bases, one for early and one for late game. Even with using the map generator to find the right spot 😅

But that works out nicely in so far as you get more neat building pieces the further you progress, using those on a new base is fun - at least for me.

[charred otter]

When do I "unlock" all the buildings? I got a lvl 4 workbench and a lvl 7 forge

[nocturne wolf]

Mistlands and plains have new crafting stations

[charred otter]

So I got all the stone/iron stuff already, is there anything else

Ah alr, so I got everything until basically the end of the game

[silk rivet]

Every biome adds new bits, you unlock stuff by finding and handling things. Crafting station level only determines what you can craft / how far you can upgrade it, not the building bits you get.

Stone and iron isn't the end of it, by far.

[charred otter]

Oh alr

Is there a stronger thing than stone that there are walls/floors out of?

[silk rivet]

There is, though it isn't stronger per se, just different. You got some ways to go to find it though 🙂

[charred otter]

Will I get it somewhat soon?

[silk rivet]

If you haven't even started mountains yet, not really.

It is very much endgame building material, at least for now.

[charred otter]

#screenshots do u think it's large enough?

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.

[heady parcel]

Got my first taste of just that last night. Scary stuff. Luckily I had some stray deer scurring around the vicinity who distracted the, er...guests, long enough for me to prepare

[turbid pollen]

Gjall looks pretty similar to Ghast; also functions pretty similarly with their fireballs, any other feature it has? I'm still post-bonemass.

[lusty crescent]

Can you deflect them back tho

This is the point of contention

[nocturne wolf]

no

[eternal pike]

anyone got pinged in valheim-patchnotes but theres nothing to be seen?

[hoary lagoon]

Yeah, they probably forgot to add something so they deleted the message. Soon there will be a new message probably

[worthy wagon]

that channel has been empty for me since the hack

Real patch dropped

[heady parcel]

• Dealing knockback to an enemy in a slope no longer affects the player dealing the knockback
  This one would make the patch great on its own. This nearly got me killed yesterday, parried a one-star seeker and it yeeted me into the sea, with that and two regular bugs buzzing around. Managed to roll back on land before they killed me, but damn that was annoying.

[wicked snow]

Every ping i get jitters for ashlands

[narrow zephyr]

it can summon ||ticks|| to fight you

[wicked snow]

Man I'll take some days off work just for the new update, getting closer each day

[narrow zephyr]

i know, i saw the ping and thought it dropped💀

[wicked snow]

Yeah, since they wont give a date

[vocal rivet]

It was always going to be in PTB first, so if it's a live patch release it's not Ashlands.

[fair cairn]

i was excited fora bit when i saw the update size on valheim but then realized that ptb isnt even out so its not ashlands and then i also thought of the fact that even had it been ashlands im still in mountains and thus wouldnt see it for quite some time

[azure yacht]

People would know this if they knew how to read

Being disappointed on an update that was never stated to be fully released first it's self-inflicted

[jovial kernel]

Hey, I want to build a hotel in Valheim. But usually go way to big with stuff. So my question: If I host a world in multiplayer, no dedicated server or so. Just my own world hosted from my pc.
How many player can that world hold maximum at the same time?

[river kite]

Hello, i read that for Ashlands its advised to start a fresh world once Ashlands drop. Is that the best approach or would it be better to start a fresh world and have it progressed up until black forest lets say? What do you guys recommend ?

[jovial kernel]

If you haven’t gone too dark south, you won’t need a new world

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.com/support/getting-ready-for-the-ashlands

[near furnace]

here? https://valheim.com/news/patch-0-217-46/

[heady parcel]

As long as you don't go exploring a lot of Ashlands placeholder territory or any land bordering to Ashlands, you should be good. There's a good article about this linked above, where they explain what will happen on the update. Non-ashlands areas won't be affected.

[azure yacht]

The link is literally above...

[heady parcel]

Hehe, edited!

[grave nimbus]

That's the last hotfix before ashlands right?

[merry pebble]

yep

[near furnace]

hopfully

[charred otter]

Dumb question but is it better to have an even or odd center for buildings, considering if I should have a 12x12 of 2x2 stone floors or 13x13

[strange arrow]

even makes the roof join up nicer

[silk rivet]

Matter of taste, I prefer odd 🙂

[strange arrow]

but you can alter the overhang to suit anyway

[warm pond]

I like uneven to use those one piece roof parts as chimney

[grave nimbus]

WHEEEE so close

[strange arrow]

i should add that the corner pieces line up exactly with snapping in even numbers

[grave nimbus]

Also damn, so close....I need to play through the game again

[silk rivet]

They line up anyways, as long as you stick to standard snap distances?

[charred otter]

What about fire places?

[strange arrow]

nah you get one roof tile that only half fits

[charred otter]

Cuz I will prob have the fire in the center anyways

[paper marsh]

Should be 10

[strange arrow]

it's barely notice-able, but, i notice

[silk rivet]

There are plenty of way to build fireplaces including functioning chimneys. Just be creative.

[charred otter]

Yea ok fair, I'll just go with odd cuz I prefer it

[strange arrow]

they can make a strong foundation for the roof supports as well

also easy to plan rooms around central fireplaces

[charred otter]

Ye my plan is to put one in the middle

[jovial kernel]

Thanks

[charred otter]

Even tho it would be cool to make a chimney

[silk rivet]

You lost me there, can't figure out what you mean. I have built roofs over both even and odd distances, it all worked for me.

[strange arrow]

next time i get on i'll make some shots of it

[charred otter]

I guess my building is anyways "even" technically bcz it's a 2x2

But if u do it 1x1 odd then ye the roof will be messed up

[teal zealot]

woohoo, performance patch

[vocal rivet]

Among other things.

[light moat]

Deathsquito killed my 2 star boar I was bringing back to base 🥲 the hunt starts again. Now with newly improved spawn-proofing.

[paper marsh]

Next time Breed them up before transporting 😄😭

[light moat]

No no, he was the first of his generation- he wasn’t tamed yet 😅

I have a handful of 1-stars, there’s a nearby meadow that I occasionally check for 2-stars. Got lucky, but then I I wasn’t careful enough bringing it back. Swung wide to avoid Lox, and ended up in squito territory.

[paper marsh]

That’s why you make more! So if the first of the generation dies the whole generation doesn’t die

But I do admit it’s rough transporting a tame if you don’t have harpoon yet

[light moat]

I just lure the boar while it’s wild so it’ll sprint with me. When I got close to base, I’ll box it in with some fencing- usually attached to the pen where it’ll end up.

I suppose I could’ve tamed it at the location I found it? But moving even one boar is pretty difficult haha

Of course, in my efforts to find a 2-star boar, I basically have more meat than I’ll ever need… but this is more about me being a completionist than having an effective boar farm lol

[paper marsh]

I've made a boar farm once. I think it was with 1 1-star and 1 0-star. And then they produced one piggie, not sure which star level. And then I abandoned the farm forever

Also had a chicken farm once. Think I got a total of like 4-5 chickens/eggs before abandoning the worrld

[light moat]

I currently have two 1-star farms, but they’re both at different bases. At my current base, I want to upgrade my boar base to a 2-star, then build another 2-star boar farm. So effectively just one giant boar farm lol.

I just think boars are cozy and make my base feel a little more alive 😁

[paper marsh]

Never did a wolf farm

I have made a cool Lox farm tho, but they die quickly to raids

[nocturne wolf]

I have bred wolves before, but not as a farm. It was a pit to kick greylings into

[light moat]

Just finished my watchtower that is wolf-themed. I breed wolves in an attached pen, 2-star of course 😁

I use wolf pelts a lot for decoration, so I appreciate having nice wolves.

[paper marsh]

But to get the wolf pelts you have to slaughter the nice wolves 🙁

I've considered making a Gjall farm

Very sad though that 2 star gjall are temporary spawns and don't produce 2-star ticks

[desert flower]

Patch Notes Question: what was turnip inventory stacking doing that was different than other vegetables?

[formal kraken]

Wolf farm? You mean horde of wolves outside the walls you toss raw meat at, right?

[light moat]

Yeah, slaughtering wolves does make me feel kinda bad lol

[paper marsh]

Correct. I never did that either

[light moat]

I’m curious how many 2-star wolves it takes to kill a single lox?

Reliably?

[formal kraken]

I did it once. Mounting Moder makes Fuling raids that wipe wolf hordes. Never wasted my time on it again. Now I kidnap dwarves in carts and set them up in pillboxes.

[paper marsh]

Ah I still need to kidnap some dwarves

Ballistas make a very nice totem farm for when fuling raids come around tho

My lox die to 2-3 fulings 😔

[formal kraken]

Just make sure to use core wood trim around the edge so they can't walk home off the platform.

[light moat]

Haha like push a dwarf back to base or something? That would be interesting. ||until he blows your house up||

[feral parrot]

I started playing about 4 months ago and got burnt out when I failed often in the swamps. Then went to mods and did builds and just wasn’t feeling it. Now after a month or so of not playing, I’m back and doing a legit play through.

I just hit the Bronze Age. Not gonna snipe the elder until I’m geared up and am ready to move through to the swamps. My starter base is legit. Just got my fermenter and cultivator up and going, and storage. Basically ready to be happy little farmer and mine copper/tin for days on end while I slowly dive in to burial grounds and find cores. Anyways. Pretty excited to start up and fresh again

[light moat]

Nice! Any pictures of your base?

[paper marsh]

I mean, ice bois are hella strong and fairly precise. Prob very good in Ashlands

[formal kraken]

I only bring home ||crossbows and the lantern mages who heal. The ice and fire mages|| will tear a roof open.

[paper marsh]

I think if I got a ||2-star ice dvergr|| that would be 800 damage per shot, and it shoots a barrage of shots. Sounds quite broken

[light moat]

Hmm remind me, is there a mage that only does that protection spell? That would be a neat fella to have around.

[paper marsh]

how good is the wisp attack? I've always wondered about the mechanics of it

[paper marsh]

The lantern fellas heal people and give them a damage buff. That's all the support there is tho

[formal kraken]

Its homing and they shoot three of them sometimes.

[light moat]

I would love to bring a little Dwarven mage back to base, just to chill in my Eitr workshop lol

[paper marsh]

mhm, do you know if there is a timer on them and if they act like other mobs about typically not aggroing through walls and such?

Reminds me I need to go search the mistlands near my ashlands to try and find a good dvergr

[formal kraken]

I put them on top of a double block platform so they can avoid swarms of wolves but be able to see everything to shoot. A crossbow can kill most everything and the small fast things get wiped by homing wisps. They agro pretty much everything and I keep them away from the main buildings.

[feral parrot]

I’ll send some your way this evening when I’m off work. Not even sure how to take a SS. I’m computer illiterate

[paper marsh]

How do you transport them? Just push them into a cart or boat?

[formal kraken]

Pushing them into a boat is the most annoying imo but it works.

[light moat]

F12 is for screenshots! 😁

[formal kraken]

Alt+Print Screen then ctrl+v to paste the copied image.

Don't have to dig for a file, works in any platform's games, can screengrab your browser, etc. Print Screen (prt scr) by itself will grab the image from extra monitors if you have them.

[near furnace]

• F11 😉

[heady parcel]

Finally made it to the queen's lair on my world. After a lengthy and perilous overland journey to what I thought was a location at the centre of a major landmass, it turned out the lair was at the shore of a deep bay connected to the sea. I could have bloody sailed right up to the entrance, but I missed the passage due to the mists. Dangit!

[paper marsh]

shift+winkey+s is my preference

[turbid pollen]

Is it just me or did they increase the size of the item tooltip font by a little?

[fair cairn]

isnt that the snipping tool?

hmm, it is, though i prefer ctrl + prtscr or just prtscr

[paper marsh]

ye. I like it because you can easily adjust what you want to screenshot and tbh my printscreen key gives me trouble sometimes

[exotic cradle]

not having a 13gb valheim screenshot folder

[drifting thunder]

Hey every new here

Is there a channel to meet those that want to join servers?

[heady parcel]

I like using F12, I just set steam to not compress screenshots and lock the folder to quick access

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510 has you covered for that.

[opal prairie]

First you hit "ctrl+f3" to hide the HUD for a nicer screenshot, then you press "alt + prt sc" then you open up a discord channel that can handle screenshots and you press "ctrl+v".

[paper marsh]

Do ||two star ice mages|| have the highest dps (of a mob) in the game?

[fair cairn]

ctrl + Prtscr and then ctrl + V to paste it anywhere is just much faster

[paper marsh]

Single target dps at least

[lost drum]

what's the difference between just prtscr and the ctrl + prtscr??

[vocal rivet]

The Control key.

[paper marsh]

I would guess prtscr saves it to a folder and adding control saves it to your clipboard so it can be pasted, based on the conversation. Dunno tho, never use it

[lost drum]

WAIT WHAT PRINT SCREEN SAVES PHOTOS??

[frigid gust]

It copies it to the clipboard just with the button. I prefer F12 with Steam, that saves screenshots reliably

[fair cairn]

mostly, iv seen not using ctrl wont let you paste it or it didnt copy it
but using ctrl ive seen it always lets you paste it, and F12 i use if i wanna save something easily for later

[opal prairie]

Alt+prt scr will capture the active window, so if you have 2 monitors it will only capture the monitor that you last clicked something in, normal prt scr will capture all monitors.

[rain flare]

THE HYPE IS REAL!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[halcyon blade]

Last I checked it captures specifically the window for the file/etc. that you're currently in. So if you're in a minimized Google tab it will only capture that and not anything in the background.

[heady parcel]

If pasting it somewhere is all you wanna do then yeah, absolutely. Me, I am simply building up a gallery of cool screenshots that rotate as my desktop backgrounds...

[fair cairn]

yea which where i said that F12 i use for when im saving stuff for later and shit

[wide zenith]

When Ashlands lmao

1.5y from Mistlands already

[frigid gust]

Good job, by saying that they'll delay it more now...

[vocal rivet]

Oh boy, here we go again.

Also, what does 1.5 year from Mistlands even mean. It's not like we haven't had patches in the meantime.

what do i need to know for fighting yagluth?

[nocturne wolf]

Bring fire resistance barley wine

[slender dagger]

yeah im gonna make stamina, heal and fire res, any other potions?

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword and frostner are the good weapons to use

[slender dagger]

im planning on making frostner

[frigid gust]

Fire resist potions, silver sword is best, Frostner and Blackmetal sword are perfectly useful. Stay close, avoid his attacks as best you can. Only arrows that are useful are frost, and that is... slow.

[slender dagger]

ill just beat him up with frostner, which armourset should i use? padded full or anything else?

bro theres 5 beserkers in this village tf

[kind pendant]

Did anyone else get an update on valheim?

[vocal rivet]

Everyone.

[kind pendant]

Wow, what for? I thought it was ashlands 😅

[vocal rivet]

Read the patchnotes on #valheim-patchnotes

[rain flare]

THIS THIS THIS

[kind pendant]

Got it! Thanks!

[paper marsh]

I’d recommend padded helmet and then 2 fenris pieces or 1 fenris 1 padded depending on preference

I like 2 fenris pieces

[merry pebble]

nah, full padded is also fine 😄

[paper marsh]

Ya padded is fine too

[nocturne wolf]

I have to go with padded because I never find fenris hair

[merry pebble]

really depends on preference

[paper marsh]

Wolf armor should be okay too although not as strong

[paper marsh]

Damn on my current server I have a stack or two to spare 🤣

That’s on 0.5 resources too but I don’t think that affects fenris hair drops much if at all

[merry pebble]

could affect the drops from unpickable curtains 😄

[paper marsh]

Yea that’s the only one I’m wondering about, I don’t know how much they usually drop

[merry pebble]

i believe 1? not sure about it either tho

[rain flare]

Normally it's 1

[vocal rivet]

If it's 1 it'll still be 1 as it rounds upwards.

[frigid gust]

Yeah... the .5 and 1.5 multipliers are a bit odd at times like that. 1.5x is a guaranteed double drop of all single drops rather than a 50% chance of it being doubled, etc.

[vocal rivet]

That sounds like how I'd expect it to.

[frigid gust]

Yeah. It's the easiest way to implement it, but the 1.5x multiplier is just weird like that.

[cyan sedge]

Hey frends, anyone figured out which mods are causing problems after the update today? 🙂

[fading wing]

So did they change how some inputs are on controllers when attacking or zooming?

Didnt see it mentioned in patch notes but someone on reddit made a post about it

[frigid gust]

#mods-discussion is probably a better place to ask that

[near furnace]

Yes. The attacks swapped how the camera will interact

But that's in the patch notes right?

[fading wing]

I swear i didnt see it

But i could have missed it lol

Seems like the reddit posts hates this controller change, I'm gonna have to try it myself

[cyan sedge]

Thank you friend!

[near furnace]

Please try before hating it 🥲

[fading wing]

And also zooming is not nearly as convinient now on controller

[near furnace]

It now behaves identical to how it works on PC

[fading wing]

Yea ill try it tonight lol

[fading wing]

So how did the attacking work before vs now exactly. I never really paid attention i just played the game lol

[cyan sedge]

Are you friends able to connect to your friends' worlds?

[desert flower]

Yes, just connected to friends server.

[cyan sedge]

Thank you! We're struggling to make it work

[desert flower]

is it dedicated server or run locally by friend?

[ashen anchor]

Performance is arguably worse on my old world with high instances. seeing lows of 6.5 fps. starting a new world with friends and i guess will have to abandon the old one.

[desert flower]

Also if this started today, I would wonder if perhaps there's a version discrepency between you and the server you're connecting to

[coarse otter]

pog upgraded engine

[empty bison]

I dunno how to pin screeenshot I uploaded in screenshots now, but how much silver vein need to be exposed, to bee ,,oneshotted,, ? 😄

[grizzled wing]

All of it, at least 2m of clearance from surrounding terrain and rocks etc

[heady vector]

2m you say

[empty bison]

ah alright ty

[grizzled wing]

There abouts

[empty bison]

and does cold damage works on all enemies? Because my iron mace has better blunt dmg than new frost mace from mountains, but mountain one has cold damage on it

[grizzled wing]

Iron mace has more blunt damage than frostner and yes a lot of enemies resist cold damage in the mountains

Frostner is much better in every biome after

[empty bison]

ah okey, thanks 🙂

[frigid gust]

Well, the Golems and Moder are primarily what are immune to frost in the Mountains, but they're also one of your biggest threats there. Wolves, Fenrings, even Cultists and Ulvs all take neutral damage from frost

[odd helm]

Drakes are probably also immune to cold, but ain't no one hitting them with frostner anyway

[half dragon]

^Use Atgeir instead (I ran out of arrows)

[lusty crescent]

Results are in
1 is the better number

[placid hatch]

Did this patch break any mods

[latent wraith]

Probably, patches tend to do that.

[frigid gust]

Best places to ask about mods is in #mods-discussion and #mods-issues

[feral parrot]

Can this be done with copper?

[sick sail]

i'm curious where can I join a text or minimal voice chat group?

for a shared gameplay I mean

[last tusk]

Why did they butcher the map markers? they are way too large now

[vocal rivet]

Sounds like #1024264966712340510 might be what you're after.

[near furnace]

all of them 😄

since we update the game engine massivly

[near furnace]

they are?

[placid hatch]

Thank you

[empty bison]

not sure really

[near furnace]

you can explode copper just like you explode silver

[empty bison]

anyone have huge fps drops after patch? I ported to my base and have like 8 fps, it started after raining weather

[feral parrot]

Any nifty tricks on mining copper? I’m about to make a little fort with a fireplace for a resting bonus next to the 2 nodes I just found. Making a wagon and gonna haul em off the whole way.. any other tips? I know they go way down

[near furnace]

any mods running?

[empty bison]

yes, lemme check quickly

Planteverything, massfarming,quickslots

[near furnace]

wellllllll

I am like 99% sure. your PC is truggling with something breaking

[empty bison]

but its sstrange, it only in base and started after some hours and I dont plant anything in base. I have distant farm for that. Can I somehow find it in log or?

[near furnace]

most people have learned the hard way. on patch-day. remove all mods and wait for them to be updated

C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

you could try to restart and see what happens

wouldn't suprise me if some mod stop unloading and just kept on filling your cache or RAM

[empty bison]

I think planteverything was updated today, so its quickslots or massfarming. I will try restart

[empty bison]

RAM would be showing in task manager, right?

[near furnace]

yup

but you have L1, L2 and L3 cache aswell for your processor

[round lichen]

is transfering loot from an old dead world "cheating" both worlds are vanilla

[empty bison]

fps solved after restart. So I guess I will wait for smarter people to find out which mod it is :D. Thanks for the help

[near furnace]

yeah.. sounds like broken mod

[pliant hatch]

Depends at how you look at it.

Some would consider it cheating, some would call it "using the game's options".

It might make a restart easier; but then, when you start your world with resource gathering set to 3x the effect would be the same.

Personally I'd say, if you think it'll help you getting started and it's a solo world; go ahead.
if it's a MP game, better discuss this with the other players as well.

[round lichen]

Oh totally. I think starting a world with high level gear is from another world isn't inherently cheating... but takes away from a lot of the game. In this instance I am far beyond my old worlds in terms of progression. I just wanted to grab some of the wood metals and mob drops

[heady parcel]

Not sure what I think about seeker meat looking like giant, blue-green scampi

[rare oak]

It's really up to you. In my server (hard combat with hardcore death so all skills and inventory wiped), if we're in a pinch and almost die (read, having 8 ticks on you) we quickly log out and go to a private world to regenerate. It's become a mechanic of the game. We all died 3 times before killing the queen and had our share of anguish, so for us it didn't ruin it

[frigid gust]

Shrimps is bugs

I love how they turn red just like shrimp and other insects when cooked 😉

[heady parcel]

Indeed, but I try to not think about that normally 😂

My wife refuses to eat shrimps or crayfish for that very reason. "I am NOT eating sea-bugs!"

[frigid gust]

Hah. But they're delicious! What about crab? Seeker meat is actually pretty solid just cooked as a cheap base-chore food

[last tusk]

Yeah, all markers are noticably larger than before, and in a bad annoying way

[frigid gust]

Can you put a screenshot in #screenshots or #steam-bugs-discussion ?

[heady parcel]

Yeah it is perfect for that actually, since once you start moving around in mistlands a lot it is basically in limitless supply

Normally just cooking meat feels like a waste, but with seeker meat...there's just so much of it

[frigid gust]

I'm building a new Mistlands outpost base, and I'm noshing on seeker meat, bread and salad, wearing fenris with a root chest. It's enough to handle anything I've encountered.

[jovial prawn]

I just recently started finding YT videos about playing Valheim in no map , no portalmode. OMG, that sounds imposable. Seems once you go out sailing / exploring, you would never find your way back home. 🙂

[jovial prawn]

Fenris + feather cloak is soooo much fun!

[heady parcel]

Pen-and-paper maps - and build marks you can identify at critical points

[frigid gust]

Feather cloak for sure. I'm building at the top of a huge spire in the Mists, all the way up past the snow level.

[proud oyster]

yeah, I was doing no map for a bit... I have no idea how you'd not get lost at sea. I'm not sure there is a reliable way to navigate

[heady parcel]

The way it was done back in the day. I'm building light houses and cairns just because I want to, but I'm considering going no-map next time so I'll actually *need * them.

[jovial prawn]

Huh, had not thought of that. Might work, thanks. 🙂

[frigid gust]

Best place to ask that is #mods-discussion , the main channels here are for the unmodified base game

[dusky basalt]

I see, thank you!

[jovial prawn]

If only we could build beds, comfort items, crafting stations, and boxes on longships. Mobile exploration with no map/portal would be amazing!

[glossy haven]

where do i try find people to play valheim with

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[kind pendant]

Found a secret dvergr room with no black cores .-.

[desert flower]

#theresamodforthat

[frigid gust]

There are mods for that 😉 But it's not there for a reason. Besides, you make a campfire and sit by it for 30 seconds or so and you get like 8 minutes of rested bonus. It's pretty effective.

[desert flower]

I had 3 mines come up with 0 cores earlier this week. It's a heartbreaker

[heady parcel]

Crafting stations on boats would be over the top imo, but a simple fireplace (like they used irl) so you can get rested buff while sailing would go a long way

[kind pendant]

Ouch! Sorry bout that! I also kinda came unprepared so these seeker are annoying. Not even an ooze bomb 😭

[frigid gust]

Were you on the PTB before the latest patch? That was a known issue with that for a while, sub-standard dungeon generation

[kind pendant]

Luckily my mine isn’t far from anywhere

[desert flower]

nah, haven't played on PTB at all. This was on the live build, over the weekend

[frigid gust]

Dang. That's abysmal luck, then... there weren't any hidden doors? There are usually at least one per mine

[jovial prawn]

Hmmmmm ok then. Boat bed and boxes. 🙂 Enough to bring a lot of stuff with and respawn. Heck even the bed could go without, just always make one where you anchor up. 🙂 But boxes, so many boxes! 🙂

[jovial prawn]

Archery, so much archery..... And stealth! 🙂

[desert flower]

all had hidden doors, but all the rooms were empty, lol

I did get to stock up on sausages, though. Overall, a win. 😛

[heady parcel]

I've never come out entirely empty handed, but just one or two is more the general rule than an exception

[frigid gust]

Ugh. That stinks. I've heard of people missing those doors before though, gotta check to make sure 😉

[heady parcel]

Had to sack 12 mines before I could complete all three stations

[desert flower]

for sure! I'm literally the person that goes back through the mine spamming E on all the walls when everything is cleared

in an act of abject denial, lol

[serene talon]

yeah getting those cores can be a long task

[kind pendant]

I still haven’t explored half or even more of the mine so there is definitely more yet to come. I’m so ready to craft carapace armor and the rest of the items, just need those blackcores

But currently building a tower next to my long house to put my beds & black forge, forge and stuff in it

[serene talon]

im so happy i managed to get forge, workbench, black forge and galdr table into the same floor of my house

[heady parcel]

Once I pretty much swore an oath never to build in Mistlands, now here I am making a proper base, not so scared of the honk anymore! 🙂

[kind pendant]

Must be satisfying to see

[kind pendant]

Gjall’s are pretty easy to kill, soldiers are bigger of a threat imo

[heady parcel]

Yeah the soldiers need to be kited away so they don't tear down everything..

[kind pendant]

Exactly

[serene talon]

i find gjalls harder than soldiers

[kind pendant]

Once you got their weak spot, and can dodge their attacks which is easy, it’s not a hard task

[heady parcel]

Neither are extremely difficult, but mistakes can be costly against both

[kind pendant]

That is very true

[desert flower]

gjalls are hardest enemy in the game, change my mind.

[heady parcel]

If the soldier has friends you are doomed if it hits you

[kind pendant]

Also anyone else think that carapace armor should have a small resistance to slash and pierce atleast?

[serene talon]

i also think that would make sense

[desert flower]

#suggestions message yes

[kind pendant]

Ohh yeah if there are more seekers than it’s time to run from there

[serene talon]

thats why i use demolisher

can handle three seekers at a time

[warped wing]

i keep trying to put a stone throne down but it keeps breaking.

what am i doing wrong? do i need to place it on stone for it to work?

[serene talon]

are you building it on wood floors ?

[nocturne wolf]

Wood doesn't support stone

[desert flower]

needs to be connected to ground/stone floor/iron beam

[hearty flume]

Anyone else struggling with loading the game? I have been loading in for 10 minutes now

[warped wing]

that doesnt make much sense but ok lol

[heady parcel]

The wind-up is scary though, takes more guts than I have to use that thing in combat haha

[serene talon]

yeah himminafl works too i guess

[kind pendant]

Obviously a big resistance with carapace armor would be too op with a 0.5 resis but 0.75x atleast

[kind pendant]

No, what platform??

[hearty flume]

Pc

[kind pendant]

Weird pc should load it quick

Turn it off and turn it back on.. it might work

[nocturne wolf]

The new patch loads much slower
(For me, at least)
Not 10 minutes though

[kind pendant]

Mine was quick as usual

[odd helm]

After an engine or content update, loading an old world will run some processes that sometimes requires you to not tab out of the game while it loads. Try loading your world again, and just wait without touching anything.

[hearty flume]

Maybe it is because I had not updated my mods

[odd helm]

Oh

Yeah, engine update will break mods

So either cleanly uninstall them all or go to #mods-issues, main channels should stay strictly vanilla

[hearty flume]

It worked after I updated them xD

[kind pendant]

Glad it’s okay now! Now we know what the problem was

These seekers are also a little annoying, mistland and mines are new to me, so i can’t predict them that well so my parries are questionably bad

[nocturne wolf]

Don't parry them then, blocking still works well.

What weapon/weapons are you using against them?

[pliant hatch]

I dunno it has anything to do with my char's skills or that I'm just (un)lucky, but I've never encountered so many 1* and 2* monsters as in the past 2 days.
And that 2** includes a troll.

[frigid gust]

Seekers have tough armor, but they don't resist elemental attacks. Using weapons that do elemental damage can help a lot.

[kind pendant]

Frostner

[maiden granite]

Is there any new magic related weapons or stuff coming in the "Ashlands" update?

[serene talon]

yeah theres something coming but all we have seen is the armor

[kind pendant]

Yeah then frostner comes in very handy. Only problem is that I have to bring my skill up, and the problem is I always die and my skill is set back the same it always was which pisses me off.

[maiden granite]

They said about magic particularly or just hints?

[maiden granite]

Magic weapons!!!

[frigid gust]

You might consider making some ooze bombs as well, they're great AoE against those guys

[kind pendant]

Oh yeah i need those ooze bombs. Forgot to craft them 🥲

[desert flower]

Skol and Hati wrecks.

[frigid gust]

Gotta get the cores and beat enough enemies to be able to make magic 😛 It's late-game Mistlands, well after you have to handle a few mines

[dusky basalt]

It feels like the devs intentionally made it so every cauldron food requires at least 1 non-growable ingredient😭

[kind pendant]

I can imagine! Also, are they “knife” weaponry?

[desert flower]

they want you to go out and explore 😄

[heady parcel]

Frostner is great, but once you delve into Mistlands I'd argue it is worth the effort to get a Mistwalker made asap. Base damage much, much higher than frostner's due to the tier difference, and part frost damage so has all the same benefits of Frostner. When I hit Mistlands that's the thing I have tunnel vision for..

[desert flower]

yeah, knives.

[serene talon]

they said ||they want to make the magic more than a sidegrade and there will be new weapons they just didn't show any, they did mention a "shotgun" like magic weapon tho|| (ashlands spoilers btw)

[maiden granite]

Oh my bad, I didn't knew you were talking about first time in mistlands after plains

[frigid gust]

They did. Most foods require a mix of something you can farm, something you have to gather, and something you can only hunt or kill.

[kind pendant]

I’m looking forward to making a krom, but not sure if I should make both

[desert flower]

I made that this run, too, and I was hoping it would be better

[heady parcel]

Never made that one, the movement penalty of the two-handers puts me off too much.

[desert flower]

but i might be playing it wrong

[kind pendant]

That’s very true.. maybe I will stick to the mistwalker when I do get it.

[half dragon]

Well this fuling village feels like a total scam... 5 berserkers, 7 shamans, plentiful of small friess... and the whole village had 4 chests

[frigid gust]

Himmnafl is my go-to two-hander. But I like the light armor and movement.

[kind pendant]

100% will get the demolisher, my run I have no made one sledghammer type weaponry

[kind pendant]

I’m getting that once I can

[serene talon]

yeah stagbreaker is early game and iron sledge has a weird recipe in my opinion

[half dragon]

with ashlands not here yet, no much of a reason to not try little bit of everything while waiting

[kind pendant]

Yeah sledgehammer doesn’t make sense

[dusky basalt]

Stagbreaker is so good for finding silver

[frigid gust]

It's not DLC, it's a straight update. But yes, the biome at the southern edge of the world. But if you've explored that area, you won't get full content down there.

[maiden granite]

Yeah since those polearms have pretty decent shield like block force

[dusky basalt]

Ah, yeah, slip of the tongue. Thanks

[frigid gust]

I rarely actually block. Spin to win, baby! Or dodge roll out of danger

[serene talon]

i tried krom and its actually good in combination with a shield

[half dragon]

my current plan is to use that shield staff, if it works the way I think it does, it should allow to parry anything

[dusky basalt]

You guys prefer normal or buckler shield?

[maiden granite]

That's a two hand sword

[serene talon]

parry with the buckler, switch to krom and make heavy attack

[maiden granite]

You're right

[serene talon]

because of the parry enemy will be stunned and wont attack you during doing heavy krom attack, heavy krom attack staggers enemy again

[maiden granite]

The shield guaranteed gives you parry ability to anything regardless of armor or health

[kind pendant]

Oh yeah, i rmembered that krom has a block force equal to of a sheild which kinda (in a way) counts as holding a sheild imo

[formal kraken]

I recommend looking up valheim "combos" or "animation cancelling" because you can pump some serious damage numbers with one-handed if you're willing to dance.

[desert flower]

parry on krom is only like 50 less block armor

(can make the difference though)

[serene talon]

imma stick to jotunn bane and carapace buckler tho

[dusky basalt]

Gathering iron for bonemass. Gonna use a mace and shield. Should I replace my buckler with a regular or tower shield?

[maiden granite]

Nah

Save iron, just dodge roll his melee attacks

[dusky basalt]

Gonna be honest I forget you can dodge roll in this game. Ive done it once

[serene talon]

i actually never tried bonemass with iron tower shield

[heady parcel]

Never built a tower shield after the bone one

[formal kraken]

I personally don't use tower shields except for the serpent. Too slow and you can easily out-armor yourself and get hit with the penalties.

[desert flower]

they're not worth the resources, personally.

[maiden granite]

Serpent scale shield also counts in the tower category, right?

[heady parcel]

Yeah that movement penalty isn't worth the slightly higher block

[halcyon blade]

Yes

[heady parcel]

Helped against Eik when I was green, but since I use heavy armour the added 20% penalty from the shield is just too much

[maiden granite]

10+20+5

[formal kraken]

Just mind the shield's armor and your worn armor so you don't get staggerlocked.

[heady parcel]

Slower than continental drift

[maiden granite]

35% movement speed decrease 😵‍💫

[heady parcel]

Yeah, that's when it actually starts affecting your ability to fight, not just running

[formal kraken]

Sounds like it's time to drink a poison mead and start throwing bombs.

[serene talon]

i only use tower shield with yagluth because blocking the laser is fun

[formal kraken]

Personally I enjoy using the Fenris set to dodge meteors. Satisfying.

[serene talon]

yeah i mostly use fenris set for yag

[frigid gust]

I tend to just use full padded and just walk around a finger and use a tasty mead or healing mead as necessary when he's doing that stuff, then go back in and hit him

[heady parcel]

Fenris is awesome, but feels like running naked. If you mess up and anything hits you, you are in big trouble

And I have a black belt in fumbling with dodges or parries, so I need that armour

[serene talon]

im currently trying different gear combinations to take down queen without magic, anyone got any suggestions?

[frigid gust]

Guy who beat Tyr did it with a demolisher, frostner and a spear to lure her down near the front entrance. Haven't tried that myself though 😉

[spiral compass]

Are there any good farms for greydwarf spawners?

[frigid gust]

Dig a hole underneath and fill it with pufferfish is the best I've seen

[serene talon]

i saw that strategy its genious

[spiral compass]

I am hoping to avoid pufferfish since fishing isn't my thing in this game

[heady parcel]

I've seen a few designs on youtube, but never actually bothered to build one. Too easy to just gather the stuff you need instead..

Bronze braziers work too, and probably that fire pit from Hildir too

[kind pendant]

I feel like beating queen with magic is kind of the fun of it, it’s something new and cool (and in a way it is easier to kill the queen using it)

[grizzled wing]

1 easy way is to spam bile bombs, the fire damage stacks and i was able to get upto 70/80 damage per tick. Only downside is needing the dozen or so gjall kills

[leaden ridge]

Will a serpent ever spawn if I just afk on an ocean biome and not move?

[frigid gust]

Possibly, if the weather changes. The only really safe places to AFK are in cleared dungeons, troll caves are choice.

[merry pebble]

also merchants are quite safe 😉

[desert flower]

Also, the login screen.

[merry pebble]

nah, i would be too lazy to start the world again 😄

[fading wing]

Is there a trick to finding yagluth?

Ive been to a handful of plains and haven't seen its altar

Plains in the east, west, north

[frigid gust]

Unfortunately not. Lots of exploration, investigate all structures in the Plains that aren't just big rocks as they can contain the vegevisir.

[leaden ridge]

Well I kinda want one to spawn. I’ll hear its roar and I need its meat.

[frigid gust]

If you want one to spawn, actively sailing through ocean biomes at night and in storms is the best way. It checks when you enter an ocean area to see if it should spawn a serpent, and then there's a timeout for like 20 minutes for that area before it checks again

[leaden ridge]

Ah so in and out of the biome?

Or is an area like a Minecraft chunk and I can just sail within the biome

[frigid gust]

Yeah. Just stay in the ocean biome as best you can and sail a long distance.

[leaden ridge]

I have a very long strait just east of my base so that’s easy. Thanks

[desert flower]

i find the best way to get a serpent is to fill your boat's hold with iron, and be out of arrows.

[leaden ridge]

I’ve heard it’s foolproof but I’m a coward

One last question, what percentage health do the serpents flee? I want it low so when it’s on land I can kill it quick

[latent wraith]

They don't flee but they get bored and leave if they can't bite you for a while.

[formal kraken]

did dedicated servers get mismatched from the client in today's update? I've updated both.

[kind pendant]

In my 240 days of valheim I have not found 1 serpent..

[ornate sentinel]

Ah, after nearly a year of being gone, I am back in Valheim. It's quite nice to be back!

[kind pendant]

Welcome backk!!

After being gone for 2/a half years, it’s also quite refreshing to start again (it’s been 2 months now)

[leaden ridge]

Oh so I don’t have to worry about killing? I always thought they ran at like 30 percent

[empty bison]

what yellow number next to block armor at sshield means? Its fully repaired or?

[nocturne wolf]

Thats the block armor the shield actually uses, increased by your skill.

[empty bison]

ah, so its value after block skill?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[empty bison]

alright ty, then I have very low skill then 😄

[nocturne wolf]

You can check your skills with a button above the crafting menu

[paper marsh]

its tough to get block skill up

[empty bison]

I mean yeah, I have low block skill, but from normal number and yellow, its almost same

[nocturne wolf]

The difference is larger with stronger shields because the skill multiplies it, rather than adding a set amount of block armor.

[empty bison]

I made silver one right now. Kinda sad about parry multiplier, but it feels stronger

[visual snow]

Hey , thats my first time using this Server here, I hope its the right channel. I just wanted to ask something quick. So when using the public beta test version, am I able to play the ashlands update? Or will it come in the next few days? I am a little confused since my new world would still load nothing at ashlands. Or did I just misunderstand that guide thing they posted idk

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands isn’t on public test yet

[visual snow]

Any infos about when it will?

[nocturne wolf]

It should release in the first half of this year

[visual snow]

I thought thats for the updates full release and not the public beta test

[nocturne wolf]

Public test will release earlier, I don’t know how much earlier though.

[visual snow]

Hmm I see, thank you for your time! :)

[wanton plaza]

Would be really nice if they changed default old to indicate the version number, and also added the 2 previous stable versions.
For example based on current:
Old stable 0.217.38
Older stable 0.217.31
Oldest stable 0.217.30

[vocal rivet]

Default old is the previous version.

[wanton plaza]

I know. But it's something you have to figure out or get told by someone else. It's not a obvious thing.

Also by expanding the version selection range, it gives more time for mod makers to update, and it keeps servers running while they wait for said mods.

A straight up MC like version selector would be really cool, but I don't expect that nor do I think going to that extent is neccesary for this game. But what I suggest would give a bit more breathing room.

[vocal rivet]

I don't think more than one version is necessary. And 'last previous stable version is fairly obvious I would have thought.

[crude yacht]

"last previous" is kind of not very obvious. "previous stable" makes sense "latest stable" makes sense..."last previous" seems like you're saying the same thing twice.

[vocal rivet]

It IS 'Previous Stable'

[hearty niche]

Wait... are the cult members Ulv things or are theylike... cult furries.

[crude yacht]

Cool, then change nothing.

[desert flower]

@exotic cradle

[hearty niche]

I'm on super limited bandwidth right now - how big is the latest stable branch download?

[exotic cradle]

[real tulip]

as far as I know, could be wrong, but 30 June for PTB (can be delayed to August), early 2025 for normal public release

[exotic cradle]

That could not be more wrong...

[hearty niche]

It rarely takes them 6 months to get things from PTB to stable

Mistlands was <1 month IIRC

[desert flower]

Mistlands was a 2 week PTB, but Hildur was around 2 months. Probably somewhere between the two

[hearty niche]

PTB around Thanksgiving, mainline before Christmas.

[exotic cradle]

Ashlands will be out in the first half of the year, we still have 2ish months to go. That INCLUDES PTB and Release, according to the devs.

[hearty niche]

Hildir also had some other stablization things I think?

[vocal rivet]

Absolute nonsense.

[hearty niche]

It was a pretty chunky update

[vocal rivet]

Hildir was longer because of the issues with the world modifiers on dedicated servers.

[desert flower]

not sure what it was, I didn't follow it, just got curious and looked at all the updates the other day, lol

[real tulip]

first half only includes PTB, not full release... I'm pretty sure

[exotic cradle]

How to announce to the world that you just hit puberty

[desert flower]

""[...]and we now want to officially confirm that [Ashlands] will be released sometime during the first half of 2024!"
Valheim - Deve"

[vocal rivet]

It absolutely means full release.

[exotic cradle]

It's literally pinned in General chat 🙂

[hidden ibex]

should have told me that 8y ago

[desert flower]

read the pinned comment 😄

[real tulip]

yes, released on public test

[vocal rivet]

No.

Released in full live version.

I don't know why you're persisting in misinformation.

[exotic cradle]

It would say "PTB first half of 2024" not "Ashlands"

[desert flower]

"The year is drawing to a close and we have reached the final dev blog for 2023. We know that a lot of you have been asking about when the Ashlands update is due to be released, and we now want to officially confirm that **it will be released sometime during the first half of 2024! **Like with all our updates, it will hit the PTB first and then the live version a short while after that."

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/3880477525913455220?l=english

[crude yacht]

It is really nice now that the sails point the right direction with the wind. I approve.

[nocturne wolf]

I thought they already did? Was there a bug recently stopping this?

[fair cairn]

thats been a thing already though?

[nocturne wolf]

I know the patch notes mention it

[real tulip]

you do realise that the ashlands update is absolutely huge in scale, and that moving it from PTB to the normal branch is not doable in 2 months.
You're putting unnecessary baggage on the devs by setting unrealistic deadlines for them. Not cool.
Let them work in peace.

[crude yacht]

I dunno, I was playing last night and noticed the sail was in the wrong direction compared to the wind...today I noticed it was in the right direction.

[vocal rivet]

THEY set the deadline, not us.

Also, as you were told, Mistlands went from PTB to final in a couple of weeks and that's of a similar size.

[fair cairn]

except, its not our deadline but what they said when ashlands will be out

[exotic cradle]

No offence, but you only just started posting here an hour ago. We're here daily, talk to the devs, discuss all of this. This isn't make-believe, it's THEIR words and quotes. I don't understand the stubborness, this isn't made up. It's literally pinned on almost every channel and is known info for months now.

[fair cairn]

except he wanna be special and we using logic goes against him feeling special

[loud valve]

But I want it now!

[dense steppe]

You can want it whenever you want it

[loud valve]

So yesterday?

[exotic cradle]

..What the hell?

[fair cairn]

sounds like targeted bullying to me

[dense steppe]

And what does calmness have to do with it?

[real tulip]

I'm also using Logic. Since June is pride month, it's unreasonable to expect the devs to put ashlands first on the PTB and then to the full game ON TOP of it.
As I said guys, expect PTB in the first half but full release in the latter half.

[dense steppe]

In my opinion, he is a troll and wants to eat

[vocal rivet]

And as the DEVS have said, expect full release by the end of the first half of this year.

[stiff garnet]

with respect what does pride month have to do with valheim

[vocal rivet]

Nothing, of course.

[exotic cradle]

Trolls are fully out tonight it seems

[dense steppe]

Yes, that's what I understood too

[vocal rivet]

It's what everyone ELSE has understood.

[real tulip]

People around the world should not be expected to work full time in Pride Month. Basic human rights.

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message "the ashlands WILL BE OUT in first half of 2024" not ptb of ashlands will be out in first half of 2024...

[vocal rivet]

I think we should just leave him alone to his own delusions. There's nothing getting through.

[fair cairn]

Are you just illiterate?
Or incapable of understanding human soeech?

[real tulip]

Insults are not justified in any discussion.

[fair cairn]

Also ill be blocking you

[real tulip]

and me, you

No one deserves this guy verbal abuse

[vocal rivet]

No-one has verbally abused you. But you've chosen to rudely ignore everything anyone has told you.

[loud valve]

So when does Ashlands come out again?

[exotic cradle]

[real tulip]

I wrote a detailed response above based on logic and real time analytics

[dense steppe]

You've got a heavy burden

[real tulip]

if you're interested

[loud valve]

So it'll be out tomorrow?

[vocal rivet]

It was based on nothing but speculation. Despite the fact that we've been told otherwise by the devs.

[merry pebble]

sorry, but any reasonable person will take word of developers over yours 😄

[exotic cradle]

Ok now you're deffo trolling >_>

[vocal rivet]

I can only hope so. The alternative is too depressing.

[stiff garnet]

you should real time analyze what the devs say, as they're the ones who make the game

[brazen geode]

is it in the plan, that when we are already building cities, we can also move in some peasants, npc who will complement that city to make it look zizo, or is there at least a mod for something like that

[vocal rivet]

No, this game will never be an MMO.

[merry pebble]

you can ask in #mods-discussion if there is some mod adding NPCs if you want tho 😄

[loud valve]

You want modded servers for that type of thing

[brazen geode]

ty

will they ever be able to use 2 axes at once, like a real viking

[merry pebble]

well you can look into devblogs for that info 👀

[vocal rivet]

Dual wielding exists, but only when it's a specified pair of weapons, not just two that we pick at will.

[loud valve]

Can we double fist some mead?

[nocturne wolf]

We should be able to but no

[vocal rivet]

My friends told me off for calling it that.

[loud valve]

Only correct term

[real tulip]

I have read every single blog post in the past 3 months and I follow them on twitter.
from what I have seen, they clearly said "Ashlands will be released [on PTB] in the first half of the year"
you can assume they also meant full release with this, but thats just assuming and its not reasonable when you understand that the workload would be too demanding on any human.

[stiff garnet]

👍 +

[brazen geode]

i know, but i ask for axes

[nocturne wolf]

Dual axes are coming in ashlands

[vocal rivet]

You've been given links where they've said the opposite.

[brazen geode]

ohoho ty

[vocal rivet]

Going from PTB to full release is EXACTLY what they did with Mistlands so it's not 'too demanding on any human'

[loud valve]

So they're releasing it tomorrow

[latent wraith]

Stop feeding the troll. :p

[loud valve]

Breed trolls to farm trophies

[merry pebble]

no need for more of them...

[loud valve]

I always have too many stacks of troll hides

They go in the obliterator now

[merry pebble]

same, would be nice if we could make more stuff with them, but we cant have everything 😄

[grizzled wing]

Watch it be part of a recipe in ashlands

[real tulip]

I'm leaving this server because it is not inclusive, especially to people like me who are challenging the mainstream Ashlands June 2024 narrative and giving an opposing, more balanced view. I hope you guys treat future members with more respect instead of lowering them to hurtful language such as "you're a troll" for having a different perspective.

[exotic cradle]

Bye?

[merry pebble]

well since the "mainstream Ashlands June 2024 narrative" was given to us by the devs i dont see a reason for people not to follow it 😄

[loud valve]

No, come back, I didn't get my question answered

[stiff garnet]

Do you want to wait longer for the update? I don't get it

[merry pebble]

i dont think anyone gets it here 😄

[vocal rivet]

Heh, they did actually leave.

[loud valve]

The update will come when it comes. Just live life not thinking about it

[latent wraith]

A troll leaving peacefully on their own accord, that's a first.

[loud valve]

I was just messing with the troll

[signal gyro]

Hey yall quick question, is there an upgrade to the hammer? Ive heard mixed information on this.

[nocturne wolf]

It can be upgraded at a workbench, but there is only one type of hammer if that’s what you’re asking for.

[signal gyro]

Yeah so theres only one that base hammer nothing else?

[vocal rivet]

That's all you need.

[loud valve]

Technically, the Frostner is a hammer too...

[signal gyro]

I know but i was just curious

[vocal rivet]

It's not a building hammer though.

[crude yacht]

IN terms of BUILD hammers...I think there is only one.

[signal gyro]

Somone tried to tell me that there was a new upgrade to the regular hammer

[vocal rivet]

They would be wrong.

It was probably on Reddit.

[stiff garnet]

You can upgrade the hammer, but all that does is increase durability

[merry pebble]

only one hammer made from wood and stone and you can upgrade it to lvl3 😄

[signal gyro]

Wow fucking lying asses man

Alright thanks yall

[loud valve]

It builds corpses

[signal gyro]

If anyone wants to join my server its familyguyy just hit me up🤙🏽

[merry pebble]

you can also make a post about it in #1024264966712340510 it may reach a bit more people 😉

[signal gyro]

Thanks im new to discord.

My twitch is Kallano84 if yall wanna gimme a follow, much appreciated!

[near furnace]

you can post your twitch streams, if you stream valheim in --> #self-promotion

[merry pebble]

oh right, polls are now a thing 😅

[near furnace]

ffs

another feature to block

[sharp peak]

damn I got clapped

[crude yacht]

Time to lock them down. 🙂

[near furnace]

I would if discord allowed it

[merry pebble]

wait it cant be disabled?

[crude yacht]

Discord doesn't allow you to block polls in certain channels? Seems like they released the feature before it was ready.

[near furnace]

try to make one now

wait. you have to many roles

@crude yacht wanna give it a go?

damn

it's not a /slash command

[crude yacht]

Sowwy. 😦

[near furnace]

np

I blame discord

[crude yacht]

Me too. Seems silly to put a new feature up without giving you control over it.

[dense steppe]

Maybe there's a switch somewhere, but they didn't find it

[near furnace]

just like stickers

can't block them

[lunar sapphire]

If I had a dollar...~

[dense steppe]

@near furnace I created a poll on a hacker server, how to block the survey, let them think

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/you-birthday-gif-26304062

[dense steppe]

Oh, they've perked up pretty much

[near furnace]

they be like

https://tenor.com/view/table-flip-flip-table-flibbing-tables-table-flipping-anger-gif-15852142

[dense steppe]

No, they're going to go out like that

[light moat]

Lol yeah, polls have been an issue in alot of servers. Damn you discord!

[nocturne wolf]

Can I make a poll to find the most popular weapon type or will it just be deleted like the others?

[dense steppe]

I think they will create a channel for polls

If you can't win something, lead it

[merry pebble]

that might not be a bad idea🤔

[vocal rivet]

Like we can get people to post in the right channels we have NOW.

[crude yacht]

Seriously...what kind of idiots would release a feature that can be abused and not give admins/moderators complete control over it. What bunch of idiots are running Discord?

[dense steppe]

I'll be given a medal for that, as for preventing the first polling war

[light moat]

I wanted to make a poll about what the Ashlands boss will be, but I didn’t want to be part of the problem 😅

[nocturne wolf]

It doesnt seem like polls can do much harm

[light moat]

They’re just big and flashy and take up a lot of screen

[merry pebble]

yeah... but if it cant be disabled what would be an alternative? 😅

[dense steppe]

Perhaps they conducted a survey on this?

[odd helm]

Gentle nudge to the channel topic, folks~

[crude yacht]

There is no "the bees are pissed" emoticon ☹️

[dense steppe]

Create a channel for them

[dense steppe]

[merry pebble]

i meant alternative for that 😄

[dense steppe]

[high viper]

I have a question...

[merry pebble]

ask away 😄

[nocturne wolf]

What is the question?

[high viper]

can I use the DB and fwl files from a server to create a local game?

[near furnace]

yes

those files are identical on the server and local

[high viper]

and it would have al current progress?

[crude yacht]

Just depends on how recently it was saved.

[high viper]

5 minutes ago

[crude yacht]

And characters are saved independently from worlds...

[near furnace]

yup

[dense steppe]

In my opinion, everything should remain at the time of saving

[crude yacht]

Give it a try and find out? 😋 If it doesn't work, just delete the files and try again.

[high viper]

wonderful !!

thank you.. thank you..

[dense steppe]

That's how I gave my friends ready-made bases

[high viper]

interesting !!

lol.. wish I had know that a few servers ago..

[near furnace]

oof

[near furnace]

you just didn't spawn Devhouse3? 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

What is Devhouse3?

[high viper]

share..?

[dense steppe]

And what is it?

[near furnace]

a place with stuff

[dense steppe]

So it's not interesting, I built what my friends asked me to build, and what they couldn't build themselves because they didn't know how to

[crude yacht]

Is Devhouse1 better than Devhouse3?

[dense steppe]

I'm a great builder

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/good-boy-pat-on-head-stitch-gif-14742401

[high viper]

ROFL !!!!!!!

[cyan garnet]

Pardon me, just trying to get with some new gaming friends. Valheim is my new game...I have no one to play with. Lost all my gaming friends. Anyone want to teach an old man to play this game and get to know some new friends?

[nocturne wolf]

People in #1024264966712340510 want to

[signal gyro]

Sounds like me from 15 min ago😂

[high viper]

lol.. I is old and lernt this game.. (I think)

my kids dragged me in..

[near furnace]

we have 90+ year old playing

[high viper]

Not quite there yet.. but soon

anyway.. to move 2 files and boot up the game once again..

[dense steppe]

Just back up your game to a different folder

[frigid gust]

Since I rarely actually restore them, I just compress them to a .7z file and put a date on it

[vestal dagger]

what mods do you guys consider being QOL and is there a texture pack or shaders mod

[frigid gust]

That's a good question for #mods-discussion . I personally don't really find mods enjoyable or useful. The authors rarely balance them well.

[exotic cradle]

Sameee

Pre-edit

[vestal dagger]

i wanted to try something new after playing the game without mods on xbox

[frigid gust]

XBox isn't moddable at all, of course...

[vestal dagger]

depends if the server has mods or not

you should be able tyo join a dedicatedf server with mods if it runs on a pc

sry for the typo

[frigid gust]

Ehh... somewhat. The Xbox version can see the content created by mods (as long as it's available in the base game), but it can't actually use them in any real capacity unless it's a server-side mod only, and most of them aren't.

[vestal dagger]

ahh

[frigid gust]

Valheim multiplayer is client-centric, it takes the word of the clients as truth, and the server is really just for data storage mainly.

[high viper]

I'm back.. with another question.

Can I rename the world files from Dedicated to something else?

[chilly dust]

Anyone know why I cant get the latest patch to update on the dedicated server client?

[high viper]

got my answer..

[frigid gust]

Might want to ask in #dedicated-server instead, this is more general chat

[final thistle]

anyone done a fists only run?

[shy marlin]

Legendary OnlyFists (OF) run

[dusky basalt]

Dumb question but how do you harvest meat from tamed boars? Hitting them with a sword does nothing

[crude yacht]

You need to either use the copper butcher knife, or switch to friendly fire. If you open your inventory and click ont he two parallel swords (making them cross) this enables friendly fire mode, and then you can attack your own boars/pets.

[dusky basalt]

Ah, I see, thanks. Ill get a copper knife

[crude yacht]

Sure, friendly fire is free. Just gotta remember to disable it afterwards or else you may risk hurting your pets accidentally.

[halcyon blade]

The butcher knife, made from tin, not the copper knife.

[crude yacht]

Yes, that is correct. My mistake.

[ember panther]

Or release them into the wild and let them attempt to fight off enemies

[light gyro]

new update fixed sounds epic

I can now peacefully remove the natural generated beds with the hammer instead of smacking the shi# out of it

[uncut bough]

It is so frightening just how fast deathsquito is, it still catches up to long boat tail wind full sail

Only when it somehow attacks the boat did it get collision dmg and died on the spot

[azure yacht]

Unsurprisingly, troll traps seem like the way-to-go against seeker soldiers (without dead raiser/while solo)

Haven't seen many mentioning it

[shy marlin]

Or you know, just take advantage of the weak point through multiple different strategies

[sour fjord]

did they make them faster? i swear i've sailed away from them before. maybe i had sidewind though

[hollow crag]

Ashlands in less than 2 months!!!

?ashlands

[exotic cradle]

[latent gorge]

Is the Ashland public test available?

[fair cairn]

not yet

[exotic cradle]

[crude yacht]

Ashlands! ASHLANDS! ASHLANDS!

[exotic cradle]

[latent gorge]

Love your pfp banner

It calms me down

[exotic cradle]

❤️

[latent gorge]

Dang just noticed that you are a awesome base builder too!! 👍🏻

[exotic cradle]

I try!

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall!

[charred otter]

What fire source do I go for, hearth or bonfire?
And should I have multiple (for iron rack, cauldron etc) or will 1 be enough?

[fair cairn]

a hearth can take atleast 2 iron racks

[opal prairie]

I find the heart nicer for indoors but outdoors certainly bonfire, one should suffice depending what you want to do with it and how much you want to cook in one go.

[charred otter]

+a cauldron or will the cauldron won't fit?

[fair cairn]

with m build i put two hearth and had the second one for the cauldron

[nocturne wolf]

You can put a cauldron on it

[charred otter]

So 1 is enough for 2 iron racks + cauldron?

[charred otter]

I want to center the Hearth but it's not really center-able

[fair cairn]

you might be able to put them all on 1 but then itll probably not look good at all

[charred otter]

If I go with 4 it's "symmetrical" kinda but it takes way too much space, I might see if I can make 2 center up nicely

of ffs lost 3 lvls of run from fall damage cuz I didn't have food

[fair cairn]

how far along are you? im guessing you just reached swamp level?

[charred otter]

Went from 60 -> 57 run, I am at the end of the swamp (didn't kill bonemass but got like 350 iron I used for stuff maxed helemt/mace/leggings)

[fair cairn]

when you do take on bonemass, be sure to kill everything around his altar first

[neon quest]

so with the latest patch, if I made a new world, would it essentially be ready for the update? As in, to the existing parts of Valheim, there wouldnt be any changes right?

Just wondering if I should wait until its live or already get started (if it makes no difference)

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need a new world for the ashlands update if you haven’t explored most of your worlds ashlands already

[neon quest]

yeah but my last run was modded anyways and that was 6 months ago, Id prefer to start fresh anyways

If I dont play a world for more than a month its basically dead to me

[nocturne wolf]

You can start a world now and it will work with the update, then

[neon quest]

Well I know it will work, was just wondering if they still had potential other regular game changes planned or if its all ashlands stuff in the next update

[nocturne wolf]

The only thing I’ve seen announced that might be available outside of ashlands is a new wood floor

You won’t miss anything by starting now

[neon quest]

yeh probably will

[opal prairie]

Probably ashlands, there might be small QoL or bug fixes in the mean time but nothing major.
As long as you don't explore any ashlands it will all work.

[charred otter]

What's the best layout for chests?

[merry pebble]

i usually put them with the short side to the wall, that way you can stack a lot of them next to each other

[nocturne wolf]

Whatever you think looks nicest in your base

[charred otter]

Ye same, but do I try to stack them so they overlap (texture fighting) or is it better to at least space them out so they don't go into each other?

Without them going to each other I was able to fit 8 in a 6 "blocks" area 3 2x2 stone floors)

[merry pebble]

i put them so they just about touch each other, it would bother me seeing them bugged into each other 😄

[charred otter]

Alr, and what about stacking them vertically, do I use the 1x1 wood platforms for support?

[merry pebble]

yep, that can work, i also sometimes use the 2x2 floors but then you have to put the chests a bit from the floor, so the 1x1 are probably best

[charred otter]

The 2x2 has the extra bit sticking out which is kinda annoying

[merry pebble]

yeah

[nocturne wolf]

Use 1x1 and place the centre of the chest right on the edge

[charred otter]

How tall do ppl usually make their buildings? I always went for 4 blocks high (2 walls high) but I am considering maybe higher

[half dragon]

entirely depends on building. if it's a small building, I go 3 high. And then expand it higher if I need it to be higher

[charred otter]

It's my main base, and what is the height "used for"?

I'll be able to stack chests higher but other than that does height help or does it just for visuals?

[half dragon]

100% visuals, but the higher you go, the more challenging it becomes to build it because your structure becomes too much for your materials to support, making the building far more expensive

whenever I build a tavern I usually end up needing iron beams to give extra support.

[charred otter]

Mine is not super large, it's like 22x22 I think, so hopefully just core wood beams will do

[half dragon]

the roof gets quite high when floor is wide

the roof will increase the hesght by 5.5m

or 11m if you go for 45 degree roof

Might be barely enough

[charred otter]

I am considering maybe having 2 floors, although that'd be a bit of a pain to support

#building-screenshots warpping it with stone looks cool but then it's flat at the top

[half dragon]

stone roofs are quite difficult. They eat support really quickly if they're built on top of anything else than stone or iron beams ect.

[uncut bough]

I havent seen any starred gjall, do they exclusively spawn at night?

I want to see them flying cheeks but different color

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[frozen torrent]

Cinderfields when

[uncut bough]

was there a new patch note i am unaware of? suddenly item displays total weight or sth

[merry pebble]

well for that i have no idea, but ashlands will be out in 2-3 months 😄

[exotic cradle]

[near furnace]

---> #news message

[half dragon]

Ashlands is going to be pretty lit

[nocturne harbor]

It's gonna be fire.

[vague field]

oh wait since when does steam name show up in chat in brackets

i remember it used to only say character name

[uncut bough]

ah, mistlands, the only place where a gjall can sneak up on me

bruh just took the portal to mistlands and even before the screen loads, i hear a loud belching noise of gjall

it is possible to, after breaking the ward, live in the tower of dvergr alongside the dvergr?

[half dragon]

I will for sure keep ballistas loaded and loaded with gjall torphies. I went to check and apparently they supposedly only spawn closer to the middle of the mistlands biome, and not so much on coastal areas?

[uncut bough]

so i can invest in upgrading this area and place down more stake wall and ballista

[vocal rivet]

How did they get your password?

[nocturne harbor]

I imagine they pretend they're friendly, just wanna come help, and then wham!

Also, I suppose, if you're in the VC; nothing stops a bad actor from shoulder surfing the details when inviting someone to your server.

[vague field]

why would they change the troll leather hood name to troll leather helmet

[serene talon]

tell that to the gjalls who ruined my boat adventures

[solemn apex]

If you destroy the ward with refined eitr they shouldn't be agro'd

[pseudo marlin]

Is there an estimated release date for Ashlands? I wan thinking of starting a new playthru series, but would wait if it is close to releasing. Any info would be appreciated!

[light moat]

Just first half of this year is all we have 🙂

[celest wing]

I'd assume it is rather closer than we expect given their wording and especially the recent patch preparing the game for the biome

[vocal rivet]

June 30th isn't exactly far at this point.

[uncut bough]

is there a seeker soldier trophy? i want to program some balissta to fight seeker solder, while the rest fights the elusive gjall

[strange arrow]

rare drop tho, you may need to kill a fair few

[maiden granite]

there is, but it's very rare, I have completed the game, killed "The Queen", didn't got a single trophy

[strange arrow]

iirc it's 5% like golem trophies

[merry pebble]

they should have 5% chance to drop iirc

[uncut bough]

how far up can the ballista aim at? i dont like it if gjall just fly over it and totally nullify the ballista

[azure yacht]

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

You could just build tall towers, gjalls tend to get closer to the ground anyway. At some point they will enter the ballista range

Ballistas shoot quickly and gjalls are slow, they're very effective at taking them once they have their target

[faint pond]

Hi

[rare birch]

Am I the only one who just kills all the Dvergr? Like I need a chest full of Dvergr trophies like some serial killer

[uncut bough]

no

[rare birch]

Ok well now I don't feel so bad.

[uncut bough]

oh i mean no i dont do that

[celest wing]

I farm em a ton for their bases. Basically easy points to go to when you want an easy place to take shelter

[rare birch]

I do this as well. Instant Mistland temporary base. Its especially handy if I need to run Dvergr extractors a long way back to base. Great places for a rest stop

[celest wing]

Yeah. Especially if you come across something you're not really equipped to handle

[light moat]

Do y’all usually use one extractor per root? Or put multiple extractors on one root?

[thin fulcrum]

I think on my next save I’m just going to have a base in each biome for the relevant resources.

[thin fulcrum]

I do multiple because I’m not checking all the time so they will be filled regardless.

I have three roots in a convenient canyon with two extractors in each.

[uncut bough]

wait does the ballista just consumes the trophy?

[tame flame]

I just joined this Discord, so I have a lot to sort through to navigate the channels properly, but in the meantime I just wanted to see if anyone has had any issues with Valheim loading in the past day or so. Ever since an update yesterday my game starts to load, and then shuts down.

[uncut bough]

and i can't get it back/ replace it with something and get previous trophies back?

[latent wraith]

Probably broken mods, they're a common problem after a patch.

[uncut bough]

oh wait the trophy isný consumed, damn

[tame flame]

Sorry, was this a reply to me or someone else?

I don't have any mods for Valheim.

[strange arrow]

first report of this i've seen, mine loaded fine for a screenshot round yday

[tame flame]

Hmmm... I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling. Thank you.

[strange arrow]

may have just been a background program/update hogging resources

[outer spindle]

What happened to the tesing channel?

[strange arrow]

nothing?

[outer spindle]

Ah wait, it just got rearranged

[rare birch]

#valheim-public-test

[latent wraith]

Does your Valheim folder look like this? #steam-bugs-discussion message
If not, this post describes how to do a proper clean install of the game: #valheim-help message

[rare birch]

I need to take out a devrgr tower that is packed with multiple mages and like 5 regular devrgr. I kited a gjal there and it barely did a thing. It died so fast. It did destroy some of the building and everything inside the building like chest but the Devrgr are all fine

[light moat]

The load time for me is longer, but I haven’t had any crashes or anything.

[strange arrow]

puffers or eitr balls

[tame flame]

It's already reinstalling, but I will go through that process if this doesn't work.

[azure yacht]

Nope

[tame flame]

Moment of truth...

It works again.

https://tenor.com/view/huzzah-frazzled-gif-5544331

Oh... no gifs on this channel, huh?

[latent wraith]

No, that would quickly become mayhem.

[rare birch]

Puffers? I have just started getting sap and don't have a eitr refinery yet. I do have 5 cores but not sure what to use them for first

[strange arrow]

from fishing, likely you didn't do that then either xD

[tame flame]

What's wrong with a little mayhem?

[strange arrow]

trolls use it as an opportunity to spread nasty images sadly

and the system/s of discord itself isn't good enough to reliably block all that out, yet

[azure yacht]

What happens to the minimap once you discover an area that is meant to change drastically due to world gen?

I approached an ashlands area that's connected to mistlands which I'm sure is one that will be turned into ocean, but how would it show in the minimap? Which is tied to the world seed

Would it still show as if ashlands was there or will it actually show the ocean?

[frigid gust]

I think previosuly it was live generated, but now you might need to delete the minimap cache files from your folder after updating

Unless they force that, which is quite possible

[azure yacht]

So the minimap might actually change to show the new generated area?

[frigid gust]

I'd hope so

[azure yacht]

I wonder if that makes it possible for minimap/world map changes related to terraforming and building being shown

[frigid gust]

But Smiffe would know for sure. I sent him a world in that state that he can use to check all that 😉 Might be what he was testing, but I dunno.

[azure yacht]

Assuming it works.

Maybe that could be a use for the cartography table (although this one is a big stretch)

[topaz warren]

Just a guess, but maps will likely update only if you visit the area again.

[empty bison]

I read somwhere about digging in mountains and wolfs cannot path there. Was that fixed? Wolves in my game straight jump to my digging site, like big a*s jump from above 😄

[frigid gust]

A few updates ago enemy pathing was improved, so enemies can now navigate any slope you can run up without jumping. You need much steeper walls to make it resistant to enemy incursion.

[azure yacht]

Essentially, if you can climb it, the enemy can as well

[empty bison]

ah, thats good thing actually, just was shocked that all wolves are jumping on me while digging

[hearty niche]

Every time I hear the trader music I think of Teddy Bear Picnic.

Ok lol. Yeah I have not fished for a puffer yet. I do fish though. I managed to have one land in my boat a while back. I just hung it on the wall. There are not many fish I have not caught. Just have not fished since I hit mistlands

Am I the only one thinking the spear attack animation is weird? It feels like stabbing with a knife that has a long handle.

[azure yacht]

Yes, in a community of +10M players you are literally the only one

[shadow remnant]

🤷‍♂️

[empty bison]

I never fished, but my first iron ship trip, puffer jumped directly where you sit when youre handling ship and almost killed me, I was so confused what is causing poison dmg on me

[buoyant lake]

I am prepared for Ashlands. Everything is level 3! Food acquired! Boats packed!

[rare birch]

Yeah I still get poisioned if I walk to close to the one hung on the wall. The only fish I don't have are angler, magma, Northern salmon. I need an angler I guess. I actually have an angler fish tattoo

Finally found moder on my no map world. She's not even that far away and had 3 eggs nearby 🥳

[slender dagger]

is bonemass power good for yag?

[buoyant lake]

I will bring a second death to all the skellies

[maiden granite]

Not really

[slender dagger]

so eikthyr?

[maiden granite]

Although it helps a lot with the physical damage resistances but yag deals mostly fire damage

[maiden granite]

Yeah

[slender dagger]

alr thanks

[buoyant lake]

I forgot how easy mistlands is on normal with fully upgraded stuff

[maiden granite]

Avoid the meteors as much as possible.

[empty bison]

since I left swamp, I feel the same about mountains, no real threat here

[slender dagger]

yeah saw a vid on it (bored in school)

is the root harnesk good for mistlands?

[solid crown]

Yes.

[slender dagger]

alr, what deals pierce in mistlands?

[solid crown]

Just make sure to use fire resistance potion

[frigid gust]

It's brilliant for the Mistlands, especially if you bring with some fire resist barleywine in case you meet a Gjall. Seekers and ticks do a ton of piercing.

[slender dagger]

in mistlands?

[solid crown]

Yes. You’ll figure out why soon enough

[frigid gust]

Yeah... may as well explore and see what you find 😉 Worst case is you die and have to recover your body. Do like you should with the swamps the first time, try to approach it from land so you have a way to get back easily, you can get overhwelmed pretty easily sailing into the mists without knowing what's possible there.

[slender dagger]

which weapon is best for going first time into the mistlands?

[frigid gust]

Frostner and ooze bombs are my go-to.

[solid crown]

Bow with the frost arrows are also good
