[half dragon]

went adventuring all day raiding villages... I might finally have enough black metal to finish another 50% of my warehouse 😂

[fair cairn]

i just make my stuff outa wood and stackt hem three high

[half dragon]

I make them from black metal and also stack 3 high

[pliant hatch]

I'm not even at the point to have that many materials to create a warehouse.

But near my workbench I did stack the chests 3 high. 😄

Also:

What's the current count on the "Ashland when?" number of posts of today?

[odd helm]

If we actually kept a tally we'd quickly go insane

[pliant hatch]

So I guess that amounts to "Too many".

[ornate sentinel]

By my count, it is 17 times today.

I jest, but I could also be right, who knows?!

[odd helm]

The fact that I wholeheartedly believed you for a moment there

[pliant hatch]

Imagines Scarlet Quiver asking: "Am I mad yet? Am I mad yet? Am I mad yet?"

[paper marsh]

jokes on you, Scarlet was always mad and she's content with it

[merry pebble]

this cant be right, i just searched "ashlands" in the search bar here and only one person asking when today? the search feature is surely broken

[paper marsh]

maybe once people get off work in the U.S the search functionalities will be remedied a bit?

[frigid gust]

All work and no play makes Scarlet a dull boy... 🪓

[slender dagger]

i found one of these dvergr places in mistlands, what do i do here?

[paper marsh]

Does it have a glowy blue box?

[pliant hatch]

Making sure you don't aggro them.
Meaning, don't break anything.

Mark it at your map, collect enough wood for a workbench and a cart, then enter with the cart and smash a chest.
It'll hold an item you will need for mistlands.

[slender dagger]

yes component crate

[slender dagger]

ah okay thanks

[paper marsh]

Destroying that gives very valuable loot. But they will be mad... real mad. And the mages are STRONG

[slender dagger]

ah okay

also a two 1 starred mages lol

[pliant hatch]

Hence why I mentioned that cart

[slender dagger]

yep im gonna go get mats for it now

[half flax]

My son and I played a Hammermode+ settings with easy combat and no aggro. Just so we could build huge buildings and have fun doing construction. Finished all the bosses and had a ton of fun. Now we are playing regular resources, raids are player based and all creatures attack. Still have combat lvl turned down. He has PTSD and dying really gets to him. So basically play your way, have fun with it. The game is designed to be brutal, having options is awesome. Kudos to developers!

[slender dagger]

also what do i need for breaking the ancient things?

[pliant hatch]

You mean the wards?

[merry pebble]

ancient roots? if you mean those then they cant be broken

oh that is a perfect gif 😄

[slender dagger]

no the skulls n stuff

[merry pebble]

blackmetal pickaxe

[slender dagger]

okay

[merry pebble]

or seeker soldier if you find one 😄

[pliant hatch]

Those skulls will need a blackmetal pickaxe to mind with.
And giving you several useful materials

[paper marsh]

It's also fun to try and learn how to fight them if you don't want to cheese it. They're not too bad once you get used to them

[pliant hatch]

It's more likely they will find that Lolly first.

Kinda like a seeker in a candy store.

[slender dagger]

lmao

whats copper scra

[pliant hatch]

Almost same item you get when mining a copper node.
So smelt it and you get a copper ingot.

[slender dagger]

oh okay

[fair cairn]

a quick search says 205 results when "when ashlands" is searched give or take a fewfor answers

[merry pebble]

well the question was today and i couldnt find more than one "when ashlands" and maybe one kinda indirect mention of date 🙂

[pliant hatch]

note to self: "Next time you decide to explore a swamp, bring your hoe and swamp key!

[fair cairn]

and then theres th problem of people asking in a stupidly "proper" way

[pliant hatch]

Last one on the Steam Forum was yesterday, so perhaps it is slowing down a bit.

[fair cairn]

or. timezones?
perhaps school|

[pliant hatch]

I'm trying to be optimistic. 😄

[ember panther]

Using a battle axe is kinda funky. The special attack comes out super fast and staggers for low damage but the knock back is so strong it's kinda hard to follow up.

Also, doesn't always stagger from special attack it seems? Idk the formula for it but it's been a fun weapon to use so far. While usually using a bow

[neat tendon]

^ it would be great of the knock back pushed them back at perfect swing length. Sadly, you tend to walk to get back in range :/

[pliant hatch]

Odd.
Skellies don't have ears, but they got 20/20 hearing......

Good enough to even hear an approaching arrow

[ember panther]

Yeah that was the plan... That first swing takes forever to come out I sometimes don't even get the chance to hit on stagger

[hearty niche]

I was thinking the same about deathsquitoes but it turns out mosquitoes have ears.

[ember panther]

Blobs have great awareness too...without having ears OR eyes

[half flax]

Yep, did this yesterday. 🤣

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps blobs react to vibrations?

[pliant hatch]

Making the note or forgetting both items?

[dense steppe]

You can do a forward somersault

[crude yacht]

Do the vegisaurus sign thingies always point to the same boss location, or perhaps just to the one closest to them?

[pliant hatch]

The one closest to them

[crude yacht]

Blobs are vikitaxic...they move towards greater concentrations of bada$$ness...

[pliant hatch]

As long as they move within range of my swinging mace, I'm pleased to see them. 😄

I got the feeling those muddy scrap piles are actually hidden dimensional portals.
Or are working similar as the magician's hat.
Just mined a piece of a cubic centimeter and it held a whole 10kg scrap iron.

[small inlet]

hi grimmcore

[pliant hatch]

LOL.

I think I encountered an elite body pile here.
So far it spawned 7 elites, 4 single star archers, 6 single star melee draugrs and now a 2 star draugr archer.

And there's elite #8.
I sure as heck hope one of them dropped a trophy.

Oorah! One of them did. 😄

[near furnace]

I am pretty sure Grimmcore won't see your message mate 🤔

[pliant hatch]

Using Discord as your alarm clock?

[near furnace]

oh never

I get pinged 1 time every hour

minimum 😄

well hi smiffe

[plush umbra]

Hello im new just here listening to moon and nightspirit and messing around in Valheim.

[merry pebble]

welcome 😄

[dreamy kiln]

welcome Mykell

[plush umbra]

Ty ty i have been playing Valheim since before hearth update and I recent started playing again. Been building this world for a few months, how is everyone?

[dreamy kiln]

such lovely words from you Mykell 🙂 we are doing great i'd say \o/

[merry pebble]

just maybe a bit anxious from the waiting for ashlands 😄 but all and all pretty well i think

[plush umbra]

I haven't made it to the Mistlands i beat Moder and have been collecting and farming building roads on islands

😂

[half dragon]

When your large building project makes a lot of progress, but it looks more and more like a construction site

Kinda ends up looking like that for me when I first build everything important that I will not make compromises on, then later fill in the gaps with whatever fits there

[exotic cradle]

[merry pebble]

thank you 😄 i nearly forgor XD

[exotic cradle]

I gotchu homie

[uncut bough]

wait there is no silver atgeir right?

[merry pebble]

nope there is not 🙂

[half dragon]

nope

[uncut bough]

okay

[tame yarrow]

I just fell off my build and died 🤦‍♂️

[nocturne harbor]

I think everyone's done that at least once.

[half dragon]

if there's no blood on those floorboards, it's not a proper building

[latent wraith]

Yeah that's the #2 welcome to Valheim death reason after "a tree fell on me".

There's also "I was making food and then I died".

[tame yarrow]

welp, I'm still only 5ish days post-download, so figures I'm still having these moments

[tame yarrow]

wait what

[latent wraith]

My shortest corpse run was 2 metres or something.

[half dragon]

so far haven't smoked myself to death

or burned

[latent wraith]

I don't think I've died to fire.

But I have suffocated while cooking.

[tame yarrow]

is there a trick to get around the building height limit?

[half dragon]

many

[latent wraith]

Don't build as high. :p

[nocturne harbor]

Or build lower?

[tame yarrow]

that is a really sad way to live

[half dragon]

there is still a limit... but you can only push the limit higher

[latent wraith]

You can use trees as "ground".

[tame yarrow]

are you thinking that I'm talking about the world height?

[latent wraith]

The top of a tree counts as ground level for stability calculations,

[tame yarrow]

oh damn that';s interesting

[half dragon]

stone pillars in plains also good for high buildings

[latent wraith]

Of course, if the tree is cut down somehow the building atop it will also fall down.

[half dragon]

also having heavy materials at bottom of your structure and lighter stuff at the top allows you to build higher, such as stone walls at bottom and wooden walls on top of it

[tame yarrow]

I see screenshots of impossible buildings in the building-screenshots chat

[half dragon]

That is how I build watch towers without spending iron

[latent wraith]

If you want to go beyond the "proper vanilla" (but available with the vanilla version of the game) stuff you can spawn in floating rocks with devcommands that will count as ground.

Otherwise there's probably mods that will let you build as high as you want.

[tame yarrow]

that makes sense

I'm sad. I really wanted to make some ice crown type castles in vanilla

[latent wraith]

I think the highest you can build without devcommands is some 130 metres or so.

[half dragon]

you can build higher with iron beams

those are enough to support stone

[latent wraith]

8m raised ground + pine tree + as tall as you can build with wood iron beams supporting stuff.

130 metres is a guess based on what I vaguely remember of heigths, don't take that as a correct number. But it's not way off at least.

[half dragon]

technically you could get extra meters by lowering the ground around the stucture

[latent wraith]

i guess you can make it 16 metres by digging around the raised ground.

[half dragon]

at least in theory, but the ground will be quite uneven if it's all dug out

[latent wraith]

yeah but it can look decent enough if you re-grass it afterwards.

[tame yarrow]

do you mean wood iron beams? I haven't unlocked any recipes for pure iron beams

[half dragon]

wood iron

[uncut bough]

iron wood

[tame yarrow]

I hate that my brain hasn't adapted to the idea of using the hoe for more than just building yet.

[latent wraith]

wood iron.

Guys the devs came to me through a dream....they said Ashlands will be out ...soon...then i woke up.

I am going to the worlds top psychic to interpret this dream...

[ember panther]

😤 I smell ash

[hollow flame]

looking for vonnila server

[crude yacht]

Have you tried https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 ?

[small inlet]

if i make a world now and just stay out of the ashlands will the update bork some of the map/structures or will it only change ashlands area? i cant quite make out the answer from the devlog

[nocturne wolf]

It’ll only change ashlands, you’re fine to make a world now

[small inlet]

wooo tyty

[idle storm]

That sounds like an amazing idea for decoration pieces

[fair cairn]

like someone else said, just stay out of the incomplete zones like deepnorth and ashlands

[uncut bough]

overhoarding iron is real

me and my friend hauled a boat load of iron from a swamp, full iron in boat and we both carry max iron in self too

took me 3-4 in game days to smelt all of it, with 5 smelter

now we had like 600+ iron, with no way to spend them all

[sour fjord]

all iron swamp-tier gear fully upgraded and builds for one person will run you like 1000 iron
factor in some mistlands stuff takes iron too, there's plenty of places to spend it
EDIT: got the numbers wrong, corrections in bold italics

plus you can throw in however many spares of things you want to make from iron nails, like armour stands, longships, various furniture

[idle storm]

600 iron is enough for a small-sized castle. If you don't get too fancy and only use it for stabilization and not decoration too.

Otherwise it's back to the swamps.

[runic flint]

just barely got iron, used stagbreaker trick to unlock silver before bonemass. Is this considered cheating?

[paper marsh]

Up to the player. I wouldn't say its particularly cheaty

A lot of people try to skip all the bosses, using different tricks to circumvent them whether a bit glitchy/exploity or not

[crude yacht]

I would call this "sequence breaking" but I wouldn't consider it cheating.

[runic flint]

i see i see thank you all

[tame yarrow]

Whoever told me to make a mace, thank you so much. Imo, it's far superior to the axe. I was using that because its damage stats looked a little better on paper, and it's nice to have a 2-in-1 tool, but that does not make up for how slow it is ._.

[halcyon blade]

Yeah, raw damage isn't everything when other important stats are involved. Take knives for example. Low damage compared to other weapons but the high attack speed more than makes up for it.

[tame yarrow]

especially when you're trying to sneak hits in between enemy attacks

[buoyant lake]

All of my friends hate no map

[crude yacht]

Avid GPS users eh?

[odd helm]

YPS, Yggdrasil Positioning System

[glass lotus]

I’ve got an honest question here: why isn’t the seemingly entirely functional turf roof buildable outside of devcommands yet?

[odd helm]

The what now

[glass lotus]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/918723260210884630/1229621584025751573/Screenshot_65.png?ex=66305956&is=661de456&hm=976394cd0e09486c551ff00abb5a8f7f486fe718bfe826dfd29c087d191d1360&

That probably won’t embed, but maybe you’ve got a way to look at it

[odd helm]

#screenshots

Post it there

[glass lotus]

Done.

[odd helm]

Huh

When you say buildable with devcommands, is it from the hammer menu or just a spawnable?

[glass lotus]

It’s just a 26* roof and peak right now, but to my understanding it’s been there for a good while without any further implementation.

[glass lotus]

Spawnable. Spawn turf_roof, spawn turf_roof_top.

I’d assume it’s low on the priorities list, but I’d also assume it wouldn’t be hard to implement unless there’s some fancy mechanic planned for it, considering it’d be otherwise identical functionally to thatch.

[odd helm]

With spawnables it could go either way, really

It's either a world spawn thing we're not meant to build, or an in-progress piece that might be tweaked further and released with the next biomes

From the color it looks like it's an environmental piece from inside infested dungeons, maybe? Hard to tell from your screenie~

[glass lotus]

Posted another one that's hopefully clearer. It looks like a proper Scandinavian turf roof, and has identical dimensions and underside pieces as thatch.

Add onto that the real history and identifiable aesthetic behind turf roofs in Northern Europe, and it's certainly got the vibes of a piece that's supposed to be buildable, for whatever that's worth.

[odd helm]

added my own

They do really look the part, huh

I hope they're implemented at some point~

[buoyant lake]

😦 they say it’s unplayable. I love the stress of it. I think it’s a fun brain work out.

[tame yarrow]

some of us are just spatially challenged. I honestly get lost even with a map in games sometimes. This one is no exception.

[odd helm]

Gods I would be so lost without a map

My utmost respect for those who can play nomap but I could never~

[buoyant lake]

Fair enough

I love it, the challenge is really fulfilling. I guess I can understand why people hate it

[tame yarrow]

my friends want to play on 1.5x resource drops. I think they're nuts.

[odd helm]

I like 1.5x for casual runs if I have little time to play

[tame yarrow]

that's probably why they do it. they don't have a ton of free time

[odd helm]

But my main world prepped for ashlands is all default settings

[tame yarrow]

but they don't actually admit it. They just say the developers push out the game time to make more money. I have no idea why they would believe that.

@halcyon blade is this a bug or are you straight up writing an essay right now?

it says you've been typing on and off for like 5 minutes

[halcyon blade]

I'm very bad at deciding exactly what I want to say, so I sit forever adjusting my messages a lot of times.

[tame yarrow]

fair enough

[sand meteor]

you guys starting over for ashlands?

[tame yarrow]

I don't know what that is, so I probably don't have to

[crude yacht]

I usually bump it to 1.5x as well. I feel like it doesn't eliminate the grind when you need to gather resources, but limits it so that I'm not spending all day just gathering stuff.

2x feels like it's too much...probably later on, we could reduce it to 1x.

[tame yarrow]

it definitely feels grindy trying to build a castle.

[vocal rivet]

Over building is definitely grindy.

[tame yarrow]

yeah this isn't minecraft...

[crude yacht]

They made a mode for that...

[tame yarrow]

that isn't a good compromise when you want your builds and your survival stuff in the same world

[crude yacht]

But it's still kind of half-$$$$'d...

Yeah, probably bump it to 3x then...

[tame yarrow]

I might have to

I'm breaking my back to get stone... 1.5x would be fine though.

[crude yacht]

How far have you progressed? Because it seemed after a certain point getting stone was pretty easy and I had it piling up everywhere.

[tame yarrow]

I'm on iron tools

[crude yacht]

But then again, I'm not building a giant castle 🙃

[tame yarrow]

yeah, I've used like 600 stone so far, and I'm not even 20% done.

[crude yacht]

600!

That's a tiny amount!

[tame yarrow]

well kinda yeah

it takes a long time to get stone

also you can't build very high without blowing iron

[frigid gust]

If you've got a black forge you can substitute copper, at least vertically

[tame yarrow]

never heard of a black forge

[frigid gust]

You'll get it eventually 😉 It's a Mistlands crafting station.

[tame yarrow]

damn regular areas are already misty, mistlands must be made of mist.

[frigid gust]

The big rocks in the Meadows are pretty easy to mine for stone, as well as those in the Black Forest.

[frigid gust]

Quite literally, yes 😉 It's the biggest complaint a lot of people have about it. But if you're still in the Swamps you've got 3 more Forsaken to defeat until you're ready for it

[tame yarrow]

lmfao

I kind of can't believe how humongous this game is.

[frigid gust]

Yup. And they've still got two more biomes they're going to release.

[tame yarrow]

is it leaving early access after that?

[frigid gust]

Ideally, yes. Ashlands, Deep North, maybe Oceans and some other cleanup/tweaks, and that'll be full release

[wide zodiac]

Im so tired of mining crypts for scrap iron man. Can I still get a decent amount of scrap iron from mining scrap iron piles on the surface swamp with a wishbone?

[paper marsh]

Not really no

Only worthwhile source of iron is crypts or later on mistlands

[wide zodiac]

Is mistlanda after plains?

[paper marsh]

ya

there's a ton of sources of iron, but other than those 2 they're pretty slow

[crude yacht]

I would get most of my rocks from mining copper nodes and killing dwarves.

[wide zodiac]

Havent progressed in the game for a couple irl days now because i just get so turned off and burnt out from hauling and mining scrap iron

[tame yarrow]

what is bronze good for after you stop using bronze tools?

[wide zodiac]

I just play for 5 mins and mine a bit then hop off

[paper marsh]

It's not gonna be used for a while, but it has some uses really late game although you don't need a ton unless you like decorating and building

[tame yarrow]

I do like decorating and building

[paper marsh]

Then it'll be quite nice to have once you reach the last current biome

Other than that though there's not much use. The next metal you find you better stock up on though, because that's used for a ton throughout the game

[tame yarrow]

do you hang onto 10 stacks or however much a longship holds before you take it all home?

[crude yacht]

When you play in hardcore mode and die, you use it to replace all your tools if you haven't progressed that far.

[tame yarrow]

makes sense

[paper marsh]

indeed

[tame yarrow]

hardcore mode in this game would be absolutely terrifying

I'm definitely going to do it when I replay the game.

[paper marsh]

It is quite terrifying, especially paired with higher difficulty too

[tame yarrow]

I love when games make me feel like I'm damn near risking my life

idk about you guys, but valheim reminds me a lot of subnautica

the deathrun mod for subnautica was like that for me. I loved it.

the core gameplay loops are very similar. Explore -> gather -> build -> craft -> explore

valheim is just a lot more combat focused

[wide zodiac]

Depending on how many crypts I find. But I just seem cant get enough scrap iron. Currently mining for more to upgrade my padded armor rn

And then the blast furance also costs a crap ton to build

[tame yarrow]

I don't know how much scrap you actually need, but I cleared 3 crypts in the first swamp I ran into, and it dropped like 260 scrap in aggregate.

[wide zodiac]

Howw. I keep getting only 30-50 scraps per crypt

[tame yarrow]

damn that's really unlucky

[wide zodiac]

The muddy piles barely drop any scrap iron lmao

[tame yarrow]

the crypts I went in were just loaded and really long. I saw a chest that had a full stack in it once. it was wild.

I must've mined 30 or 40 scrap piles

[crude yacht]

I've been seeing around 50-60 scrap per crypt...but some have a lot more, some a lot less. It really is RNG.

That is at 1.5x too...keep in mind.

[wide zodiac]

My crypts dont really branch off and I usually just find amber, bones, etc in the chests but rarely any scrap iron

[paper marsh]

I feel like on normal I 2.5-3.5 ish stacks. But it's been a while

[tame yarrow]

I'm at 1x resources, and the 3rd crypt I went into dropped like 190 of that total scrap.

it was an absolute jackpot.

[crude yacht]

Yeah...it really is RNG. My first crypt had zero scrap. The 2nd one had like 3 stacks, the 3rd one had like 16 total. It really is RNG.

Make sure to dig out all the mud piles...even the little bits.

[wide zodiac]

I just got really bad luck i guess. Even on the way home I have to row all the way back to my base because the wind is usually against me lol

[crude yacht]

🤣 I swear they designed it this way.

Have you tried taching upwind?

[wide zodiac]

What is taching

[halcyon blade]

I've profited in multiplayer by going through crypts others cleared out. So many extra small bits of scrap piles get left behind and it adds up, especially across multiple crypts.

[wide zodiac]

Is rowing on a longboat slower than rowing on a karve?

[crude yacht]

You kind of head in the directino you want to go, as much as the wind will allow, and then you turn 90 degrees towards the deadspot, so you aren't every going directly but kind of slightly off to it. It's more like 110 degrees...

[tame yarrow]

I tried hauling it all in a cart across the swamp with trash gear and berries/mushrooms/venison, and I died like 15 times just trying to get it all back. Lost the cart, had to run individual stacks naked back to my hideout.

[crude yacht]

I'm sure there is a video on youtube about taching.

[tame yarrow]

there are multiplayer servers?

[wide zodiac]

Like sailing in zigzag to where you’re barely riding on the wind?

I have a short attention span so I would most likely be alt tabbed scrolling and by the time i alt tab back into the game my boat would probably be aground lmao

[crude yacht]

Yes.

[rain flare]

Basically any player can host a server - but internet speed etc is a factor in how well you can host

[tame yarrow]

well, yeah I know you can host a server, but I thought they meant that there were public, dedicated servers

[crude yacht]

I don't htink there are any public servers hosted by Irongate. But there may be public servers hosted by 3rd parties.

[rain flare]

Yeeeeeah no.

Some 3rd party companies host that sort of thing for money, but iron gate hosts no “official” server that everyone can play on

[tame yarrow]

well yeah, I know. I thought you meant 3rd party servers lmfao

when you say "for money" you don't mean they have microtransactions or pay walls do you?

[crude yacht]

THe 3rd party is usually someone playing on that server 😉

There's companies that will host the server for you, so people pay them to run the server. Like renting a Uhaul (moving truck) instead of using your own car to move.

[tame yarrow]

isn't that a pretty well known thing?

[crude yacht]

But technically if you have a computer, and you have an internet connection, you can setup your own server (drive your own car).

[tame yarrow]

yeah I want to make a server with my 2nd pc, but I'm struggling to figure out the PSU cable situation, and I don't want to buy another one

[crude yacht]

PSU?

[tame yarrow]

power supply unit

the wattage is enough, but I need particular ports that it doesn't have enough of

[crude yacht]

AH. Yeah, if it's going to be online all the time you probably want it plugged in.

[tame yarrow]

lmfao, you can't use a computer without a psu

[rain flare]

Pc not laptop 😂

[tame yarrow]

nope, laptops need them too

[rain flare]

Don’t run a server on a laptop pls 😅

[tame yarrow]

you have an internal PSU that takes power from your battery, and an either internal or external psu for charging your battery.

[rain flare]

But laptop has built in battery, so technically it can work without one.
For a little bit 😂

[crude yacht]

The battery is part of the PSU.

[rain flare]

Aaaah I see where you’re going with this

[tame yarrow]

sure

you can't just throw unregulated electricity at computer parts

[crude yacht]

Some laptops won't work without a battery installed. Just depends on the laptop.

[tame yarrow]

at best, they won't function correctly, at worst, they'll burn.

[crude yacht]

In any case, if you can't get power to the computer, it's pretty much dead in the water, Jim.

[tame yarrow]

I'm mulling over just shoving the graphics card power cables into the peripheral ports, but I don't know how badly that's going to end xd

[crude yacht]

Like...pushing them out of the way? Or plugging things into them that aren't meant to be plugged into them?

[tame yarrow]

the latter

[crude yacht]

Probably not a good idea.

[tame yarrow]

it's not unprecidented, some people have made it work

but it depends on the model.

[crude yacht]

If the power requirements match, but usually the ports are rather specific for what they are made for.

[tame yarrow]

right

[crude yacht]

And the more adapters you add, the more likely it will fail.

[tame yarrow]

well, I don't have to add any adapters

I just had to move the safety levers a few millimeters off center

maybe I'll just run it without a gpu and see how it works. my understanding is that gpu's aren't super necessary for servers

[crude yacht]

Just a headsup, you don't really need a GPU to run the server.

Since you aren't rendering anything...

[tame yarrow]

right

but damn I wish I had a reason to use my old 1080 TI

feels like a waste dropping it for 200$ or letting it sit around

[crude yacht]

GPUs are like cars...they depreciate in value every year.

[tame yarrow]

onions are like ogres, onions have layers, ogres have layers

[summer crane]

Unless a server is doing some advanced tech like packaging shaders for players to load dynamically, there is never a situation where a server needs a GPU. Valheim could run with a: motherboard + ram + cpu + psu + a tiny amount of storage and an 8GB install of linux

[summer crane]

I wouldn't recommend powering PC components externally

[tame yarrow]

idk where you got the idea the that I was doing that

[summer crane]

From the message that I quoted

[tame yarrow]

I was talking about peripheral ports on the psu

[summer crane]

Are they called that? It sounded like the peripheral ports on your motherboard or second pc

[tame yarrow]

yeah, sorry they're called that on my psu

they all have labels CPU, peripherals, motherboard thingy

[summer crane]

Don't multi card PCs use the links and they sharew power?

Or is it that they need a connection to the psu on each one

[tame yarrow]

I believe so

I ran SLI 970's like 10 years ago, but I don't remember much about the setup.

my problem is that there's only 1 port on the entire PSU panel that says CPU, and it's an 8-pin connector. the rest of them are peripherals like storage devices, as well as fans and lighting.

also there are a few vga ports

idk what those are tbh

[summer crane]

So the PSU came with only integrated graphics in mind?

[tame yarrow]

I guess so

[summer crane]

Outdated and partially cursed display ports

[tame yarrow]

I mean, this is an over 10 year old 750w EVGA power supply unit

[summer crane]

Could you just buy a new PSU for like 120$ and hold onto this other one for a dedicated valheim server or something?

[tame yarrow]

hmm yeah maybe

[summer crane]

because then you could stick a good enough ryzen in with integrated graphics and just run a basic ubuntu install for server stuff, or just run a barbones fedora server or whatever

[tame yarrow]

yeah, the thing is

the whole point of this pc was that I already had parts for it. I wanted a budget machine

I had the motherboard, storage, memory, and gpu

and... psu, but that one's iffy apparently

I just had to get a case and a cpu fan

I don't want to actually buy a whole new computer

[summer crane]

You might have to take the loss on the PSU and get a new one then

[tame yarrow]

that's where I'm headed

[summer crane]

That's what I would do, it's 100x worse to break a part

[tame yarrow]

it's 100x worse to break the most dangerous part in your pc lol

could brick your entire system in a worst case scenario

[summer crane]

I am still sad I broke my motherboard GPU slot when upgrading my CPU and then had to throw down another 150$ for a new one. It was already a crazy tight budget and I had basically broken my PC

[tame yarrow]

dude one time I broke my motherboard by tightening the cpu fan screws too hard.

it took me weeks to figure out that was what happened

[summer crane]

I didn't hit the release clip good enough on the slot and tugged too much and the slot stopped working even though it looked totally fine

I also bent a pin on a motherboard once, thankfully I bent it back and amazon didn't notice when I returned it 💀

[tame yarrow]

oh so the pcie slot got pulled off the board just enough to disconnect it?

[summer crane]

Yeah like the tiniest bit, but you couldn't see it at all

and the slot felt fine and everything, but the second slot wouldn't work at all either so I just had to get a new board

[tame yarrow]

pc gaming has been such a rollercoaster since I started at 13 years old

I asked my dad for a gaming computer and gifted me a dell xps 8700. It had a gtx 645.

I swapped part after part of that computer until there was nothing left of the original

I still have the processor though

i7-4770 was a kicker. That's what I'm putting in my alt build

[round thicket]

I bought a processor for 75 that I could barely get 15 for today

My first build cost me about five hundred and I went through like five machines since. I have an Acer aspire I picked up for 199 like ten years ago and did two ram upgrades on it.

[uncut bough]

i am pained to know that in my seed, i have to get through a huge swath of plains to get to mountains, or have to sail to either almost end of the world to see mountains bordering anything remotely safe

[loud valve]

Time to snipe fulings then

[fleet ingot]

my mans out here training like Goku for ashlands

[loud valve]

Goku can't snipe though

[tepid prawn]

there must be some mountain with safety somewhere, but yeah might not be closeby

[hearty crater]

is there anyway i can go to really old saves of my world

[exotic cradle]

C:\Users\whoever you are\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

maybe try there?

[hearty crater]

alright ill give it a go

thanks

nah its not lookin good

[exotic cradle]

Worlds then? Not Local

[hearty crater]

yea these are older

[empty flume]

I love this game! I have been playing other games prior to this game and those games have a lot of replay value. But i started playing this game and can't switch back to my other games anymore because of how much i want to play this game. But I'm really worried that this game doesn't have the value of replaying although the random world generation helps. But what plans if any do the devs have to give the game more replay value?

[exotic cradle]

You what it's the most replayable game ever

[empty flume]

i can't get any of my friends to start fresh and play a new world with me, so how is it the most replayable game ever?

[exotic cradle]

You play solo? Nomap? No portal? Max difficulty? Hammermode?

[idle storm]

What does your friends not even being willing to try have to do with Valheims replay value?

[empty flume]

we'll see how that talk goes when i try to convince them to start over.

[exotic cradle]

But...why must you play with them?

[empty flume]

please forgive the slight about the replay value. I am more concerned with learning about plans for more replay value. if there isn't any, then i would know what to expect if you knew something i don't...

[empty flume]

i don't have to but who else gonna join me if it isn't them?

[exotic cradle]

It's a solo game first and foremost, with an co-op OPTION ^^

[idle storm]

My point is that the game already has a ton of replay value, but if your friends aren't willing to even give it a go it doesn't matter how much it has because they're never going to see it

Not that i'd complain about adding more mind you

[empty flume]

it does in my opinion, clearly yours too, but I wish there was some mention by the devs to do updates after the final release to add on such as more action in the ocean lol

[exotic cradle]

It's literally being discussed in #general atm

[empty flume]

thanks lol

[latent wraith]

There won't be more after the final update, but the stuff that's not finished yet will of course be done before they're finished (ref. ocean stuff).
It's a single player game with a definite end, not an endless-stream-of-content live service game.
Replayability comes by virtue of the game being enjoyable, and that you can play in different ways.

[empty flume]

I love the co-op option being available! Just wish I could find some others willing to start over with me with a world-dedicated character and no porting-in items. lol

[livid wing]

Isn't that what the servers-and-lfg channel is for in this discord? I haven't used it, but looking through the channel it seems many people are starting new worlds and are looking for likeminded.

[sharp halo]

I want 😤

[merry pebble]

then make some 😄

[sharp halo]

no irl cauldron 😔

[light moat]

#fanart message

[merry pebble]

You can ask @light moat how it is done 😄

[sharp halo]

ain't no way bruh

[merry pebble]

oh XD

you were faster

[light moat]

Just some boiled down blueberries and raspberries really 🙂

[sharp halo]

not good enough 😔

I want real queen's jam

[light moat]

What more is real queens jam? 🤔

[sharp halo]

🧐

[light moat]

Maybe if I picked the berries myself instead of buying them from a market lol

[sharp halo]

or grow them yourself

[merry pebble]

also it has to be wild berries 😄

since you cant grow them yourself in game

[sharp halo]

i hate that you can't

[light moat]

I have to fight off greydwarves and trolls as well to make it truly the best queens jam

[sharp halo]

I use plant everything mod 😤😤😤

[lusty crescent]

I want vineyard
But for berries

[sharp halo]

I'm not too sure why we can't grow them, I can go plant a seed in my backyard and grow a berry bush 😤😤😤😤 let me do it ingame

[fallen zephyr]

A fruit garden

As distinct from an orchard

[vocal rivet]

The reason is to force us to forage rather than just hunkering down in our bases.

[sharp halo]

sounds like they want me to be abused by grey dwarfs 24/7

[merry pebble]

just kill them?

[sharp halo]

NEVER, I'd have to bring 3 swords to keep up with all of them

[fallen zephyr]

This is also the reason a fibre-optic cable network will never be installed in Valheim.

[merry pebble]

do you use mods that raise spawn rates?

[sharp halo]

you don't get almost constant spawns in the black forest?

[merry pebble]

i mean... no? like every minute or two few greydwarfs find me if i mine or something, but thats hardly large amount i would need 3 swords to fight, unless you go there only in night

[sharp halo]

no clue when night is 😭 my game is always bright

[merry pebble]

how?

[sharp halo]

magic 😉 I hate not being able to see

[lusty crescent]

Noooooooo!!!

[merry pebble]

so mods i assume?

[sharp halo]

yeah

[merry pebble]

well there you go, that might be the cause 😄

[sharp halo]

nah, nothing changes spawn rate

[merry pebble]

night does...

[lusty crescent]

I get what you're saying
Sometimes a group spawns when you're in the BF and just start to trickle closer so it might seem like constant spawns

[sharp halo]

yeah I can see the groups spawning in but they pretty good much b-line to me

ig it's all the I have 😔 they can't resist 😔

[light moat]

Queens Jam is one of my favorite foods in the game 😁

[sharp halo]

it's the best, same for

[light moat]

Will probably refrain from making IRL sausage… at least with the same ingredients in Valheim lol

[sharp halo]

blood sausage isn't that bad 👀

[lusty crescent]

Blood sausage is actually really good

[livid wing]

Acquired taste I think, "luckily" had a lot of it in school, so I don't mind it.. along with carrots, bacon and lingonberry 😄

[sharp halo]

I'd drink irl

[lusty crescent]

Idk about other cultures but latino morcilla is awesome

It's just sausage but better

[sharp halo]

what's the black birds same? @lusty crescent

[lusty crescent]

Hugin right?

Hugin ya ma

[sharp halo]

can I turn him into soup

[merry pebble]

nope

[sharp halo]

why not , I don't want his help

[merry pebble]

you can turn off his hints i believe

[sharp halo]

it's not the same, I can't hate him if I can't see him

[merry pebble]

then dont hate him 😄

[lusty crescent]

Playing solo I reset his hints all the time
Just to stop being lonely 😔

[merry pebble]

same

[sharp halo]

that's wild bruh

[near furnace]

spawn Hugin_Test

[merry pebble]

oh well at least when i play with the same char i reset them

[near furnace]

problem solved 😄

[sharp halo]

does that turn him into soup

[lusty crescent]

Does that spawn him?

Imma make him a castle if this is so

[near furnace]

yup

it spawn a test-spot where he stands

[timid moon]

does anyone have a sound clip of the berserker laugh ?

[lusty crescent]

Incredible
Thank you

[sharp halo]

can I make this test spot permanent and in a hot tub

[near furnace]

not sure 🤔

haven't played around with it to much

[sharp halo]

I'd love to have him in the hot tub all day 👀 if the game isn't spaghetti code I could make a mod for it

[timid moon]

pssst dev, do you have an audio clip of the fuling berserker laugh thing?

i cant find it anywhere and i wanna freak out my friend lol

[near furnace]

oh. sadly I don't why?

you want it in our soundboard? 😄

[timid moon]

OOO YEAH

[near furnace]

can't find it atm :/

[timid moon]

cries violently

[near furnace]

I will have to get back on you on that one

[timid moon]

do you know anywhere that may have it? ive tried yt and the wiki

[exotic cradle]

spawn one in godmode and record it?

[half dragon]

there would almost certainly be some issues with that, such as all kind of unrelated noise

[timid moon]

ya im after the raw audio track

[prisma flame]

Hey, quick question. Does hitting two pieces of wood, or 2 enemies at once double exp. Or is it the swing alone that does it?

[paper marsh]

It does not double

Only fun intreaction is that if you hit a tree and an enemy at once you get both axe and woodcutting skill, but I think you get half the normal amount

[merry pebble]

not really double but some skills have bonus when hitting multiple targets, more here https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Skills

[paper marsh]

"Weapons get the same experience regardless of the amount of targets, the only exception being axes when hitting a creature and a tree at the same time."?

[prisma flame]

Dang. Thanks for the info. The reason I asked. I only swung 106 times to get level 45. By the math it should have been 151. If I did the math correctly

[summer crane]

I think you get woodcutting + axes or something

[paper marsh]

did you count in that each hit gives 1.5 xp?

[summer crane]

I would think that pickaxes could do the same but maybe it's because of how the tree exists

[paper marsh]

for axes, not woodcutting\

[summer crane]

I have it

[prisma flame]

THANK YOU. Missed that part. So I have been calculating for swings, not XP. If 1 swing is 1.5 XP, then the math works. I don't know if it was exactly 106, but it was near that number, so I'll chalk that up to counting error.

That was the missing link. Y'all are awesome. Thanks again.

[summer crane]

I lied, I think it has a sus name like most things in the game. I think I found everything but the berserker XD

[merry pebble]

should be "GoblinBrute" something i believe 😄

[summer crane]

You would think, I basically just skimmed the entire db and it's just not there

Found fulings and the classic HEUH HAH

[merry pebble]

i would assume it would be something with that name as it is the internal id 🤔 but i never looked for it so what do i know 😄

[summer crane]

There is a large mismatch between audio files and the actual models and code in like all games

The audio could be from a pack somewhere or was made by a freelancer when the design spec was completely different from when the visual artist made it which is then probably different to the script that the dev made when they conceptualized it

Like I remember working on something where the dev named it dandelion and then the visual artist was like "the theme isn't working" so then they art is called snowball and then by the time I got my hands on it, they were advertising it as snowglobe and then I had to make the concious decision to just all the audio files dandelion again XD

[half dragon]

Obviously, the best time to start raining is when you're building pillars for a roof and stop raining when you finish building a roof

can't seem to be able to build anything without dipping it a little bit in moisture

[cobalt token]

It is just me or with new patch, attacks follow camera orientation and not player position?

[fallen zephyr]

I've not noticed anything, but I've also not tried to attack something while looking at my own face.

[merry pebble]

thats been a thing for quite a while i believe, 100% before the last patch

[cobalt token]

Oh damn son, either way big ups

[fallen zephyr]

either way big ups
This has my award for 'entirely comprehensible, but logically impossible' phrase of the day. 😛

[half dragon]

turns out cutting wood is very efficient way to hunt fulings at night

almost got a full stack from 1 night of cutting wood

[slim mica]

Hello Everyone! Someone knows how to enable vulkan on Valheim from Microsoft store?

[latent wraith]

A full stack of wood in just one night? gasp

[half dragon]

it's very shiny wood

[fallen zephyr]

Black metal might be the most abundant item in the game once you've killed Yagluth.

[half dragon]

well problem is I'm having a break from progressing so I can setup my base in plains

want to continue once I've setup all the necessssary stuff

[ember panther]

I'm trying to find the ideal place for a plains base. Not sure what I wanna do yet. There are two giant stone pillars next to each other so I kinda wanna make the twin towers

[fallen zephyr]

Is this going to be your main base?

[half dragon]

luckily there's no planes. It will be invincible

[ember panther]

I have many bases... No portals lol

[half dragon]

yeaa, that will be necessary when got no portals

basically 1 base for every island you plan to stay on more than a few days, at least something simple

[ember panther]

No planes in the plains lol. Only worry is if the stone pillar gets broken by a raid or something. But I think it'll hold if I surround it with stone. Gonna take a ton of time

[fallen zephyr]

If you're going no portals, I'd suggest finding a point that borders meadows/black-forest, plains, and mistlands, so you can build a broadly efficient farm.

[odd helm]

Wouldn't you just need a plains/Mistlands border? Everything before Mistlands crops can grow in the plains no problem

[fallen zephyr]

Sure, if that's possible, it's much simpler.

[odd helm]

Excellent idea for a farm base tho, two biomes at once~

[fallen zephyr]

I also like that we can use the cultivator and place grass to find the exact border of the biomes.

[half dragon]

hmm... for sure not bad at all. I placed my main base in plains because well.. I like the look of it, and found really damn nice island. It's pretty large, but it's small enough to conquer it fully (spawn protection), and it kind of has thin land bridge to larger area in plains, very easy to secure that and make proper bridges

and it's close to everything in general

also great water access to 3 directions, the way to the right is blocked by long ass island so way back to the spawn is longer... but it's not like I'd want to sail back there anyway

[toxic rose]

What about roots?

[odd helm]

Roots?

[merry pebble]

you cant grow roots

[wintry panther]

hello

[fallen zephyr]

Onion, garlic, ginger, yams, fennel, tumeric, ginseng...

[toxic rose]

But no ancient from them, only young)

[merry pebble]

only one of those is in valheim, and onion isnt a root, its a kind of a stem... (proper name would be "tunicated bulb")

[wintry panther]

do you guys play anything besides valheim I see you here all the time lol

[fallen zephyr]

I don't play Valheim. I just come here to play 'Devil's Advocate' and be a polemicist.

It's kinda exhausting familiarising myself with the game via the Wiki, to be honest.

[wintry panther]

interesting

[fallen zephyr]

In my spare time, I like Minesweeper and the occasional game of Mahjong.

[loud valve]

I play a survival game called life

It sucks, but you like, have to play it

[fallen zephyr]

What happens if I don't?

[frigid gust]

Onions, carrots and turnips are all roots

[wintry panther]

yeah it really needs to get patched soon

[desert flower]

same people keep winning, they must have game-sharks or something.

[wintry panther]

pay to win bs

[desert flower]

too many microtransactions, imo

[pliant hatch]

Well in that case, that makes you the perfect person to answer this question:

Why do people consider Valheim to be "grindy"?

I don't think it is, so does that mean I'm playing the game wrong or does it mean they are?

[wintry panther]

I regret getting the high school dlc

[frigid gust]

They never tell you growing up that you'll be spending money every single day as an adult just living...

[desert flower]

Have you tried the Therapy DLC tho? It's a bit spendy, but i think it makes up for the HS DLC.

[ember panther]

Therapy dlc ain't worth it either

[wintry panther]

Im looking into the college dlc rn

[desert flower]

maybe your machine just can't run it--might want to consider upgrading.

[wintry panther]

I shouldnt have picked the coffee loving attribute, what a money drain

[desert flower]

I should have dumped more points into Int.

[wintry panther]

Ill do that when I level up asap

[ember panther]

It must be incompatible with my version. Spent way too long trying to install updates and got nowhere. Disk write errors, uninstalled, did the travel dlc instead

[fallen zephyr]

Actually pushes up glasses 😛 , I think it's an arfefact of the game being in early access. The grind arises when we've progressed as far as we can, and we're just exploring, building, cooking, and farming waiting for the next biome.
Valheim might just be a solid survival game with about (guessing) 40-60 hrs of gameplay if it were complete. But, as it is, we love the game, and grind while waiting for something more interesting.

[frigid gust]

Therapy is like school, you get value out of it relative to the energy and work you put into it

But that's better for #general 😉

[desert flower]

I find it helps with the companion Mod

[sweet bay]

that analogy implies everyone has the same base game (and hardware?), they are not. Therapy could be like a mod, which helps with weak or otherwise impaired hardware

[frigid gust]

I've found that a lot of the people complaining about the grind are the same people that want skill drops to not happen, and make farms to grind up their various skills and such. There's a bit of grind in some of the resources, but the biggest places that occurs are during the initial introduction of various mechanics in the game and so it makes sure you get the technique down and spend time figuring out all the details around it.

[pliant hatch]

I guess that may mean that my definition of grinding and that of others may differ.

To me, grinding means spending countless hours to increase a single skill or work a single dungeon / area to get that one special thing.

Doing multiple things while waiting for something - like exploring / hunting while waiting for crops to grow - isn't grinding to me.

[ember panther]

☝️Agreed. Valheim isn't a grind.

Unless you're trying to max block skill or something

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, there's that too. And Valheim doesn't do this with any kind of balance. We can level running and jumping by just playing the game, but trying to get fishing up to a decent level is a frikkin' nightmare. I feel you there, for sure.

[pliant hatch]

I'm trying to do weapon smithing in Wurm Online.
Guess I'll be able to survive fishing in Valheim. 😄

[hearty niche]

Valheim fishing is much like IRL fishing. Drink lots of mead, catch few fish.

[wintry panther]

Oh yeah I gotta get the fishing dlc

[pliant hatch]

Stamina and tasty mead, I assume?

Which reminds me, I need to create a batch of tasty mead in case I go serpent hunting.

[frigid gust]

I don't think any stamina meads will help, I think you lose the fish if you eat or drink anything while reeling it in

[pliant hatch]

Which makes them useful when going serpent hunting.

[hearty niche]

Yep. That's the only way I've been able to make any progrses on fishing.

[hearty niche]

Not at all! I picture him uncorking with his teeth and chugging with one hand

[pliant hatch]

Because you will stop dragging that harpooned serpent in the moment you run out of stamina anyway.

[hearty niche]

"It's either you or me, fish, and I'm drunk so it's gotta be you!"

[half dragon]

imagine if there was a hat that was also a mead container

[hearty niche]

Lookin like the eitr refinery with little tubes n stuff

[pliant hatch]

Available to craft after you've used all meads at least 5 times? 🤔

[wicked lotus]

hey guys who want new start in valheim

[fallen zephyr]

That'd be amazing.., a hat that allows you to carry two different potion-buffs without expending storage slots is a great idea

[pliant hatch]

I think you may ask that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 as that's a better place for it.

ok ty

[half dragon]

This but horns for mead instead 😂

[fallen zephyr]

How did you find a GIF that looks exactly like my viking?!

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps because you forgot to turn off your webcam?

[fallen zephyr]

I can't turn off my webcam. I need to maintain my OnlyHeim account.

[merry pebble]

turnips and carrots are indeed roots, but onions really arent 😄 they are type of altered stem called tunicated bulb, they have reduced stem further in the ground and only from that there are roots growing 😄

[frigid gust]

Spent some time on research, eh? 😛 Yeah, same with garlic, shallots, etc. I was just being lazy

[half dragon]

What else, tomatoes fruits?

[merry pebble]

Me typing: "Is onion a root?" into google...

che, he says research XD

[frigid gust]

Intelligence is knowing tomatoes are fruits. Wisdom is not putting them in fruit salad.

[half dragon]

I herd that 5 minutes typing into google makes you basically a doctor and shouldn't take any advice from them any longer

[pliant hatch]

If was up to google, a cut in your finger would mean your entire arm should be amputated.
At least when visiting a doctor (s)he's only amputating your hand.

If it's in a hospital they may actually amputate your foot; but that's a different matter.

[frigid gust]

I figure online medical research is strongly incentivized to give you the worse possible diagnosis. Otherwise someone will have cancer or something and a site will say they're fine, and then the lawsuits will fly.

[pliant hatch]

In the US for sure.

Not that much going to happen in (most of ) the European countries.

But then, in the US you could put your cat in a microwave oven to dry her pelt and win a lawsuit against the factory because the manual didn't say you shouldn't do that.

Imagine,

if Valheim was real in the US, the Greydwarves would drag us to court for killing their relatives and burn their remains in torches, use them as eyescream and building materials.

[wary shore]

depends on the state. States with castle doctrine would allow you to defend yourself and your property against the graydwarves.

[rustic cairn]

Man. experienced people in this game really suck at teamwork and surviving. It's like they get so confident they just throw themselves into the wilderness thinking they got this

[pliant hatch]

Lemme guess, you had a bad experience with them?
Getting killed and you needed to protect them at their corpse run?

Darn. If there's any summoning item of which the drop rate may be tweaked down a lot; it's the withered bone.
Having done 6 sunken crypts and I got enough to summon Bonemass 23 times........ 😮

Anyone know if devs are gonna try and port to PlayStation?

[burnt glen]

I’d assume not anytime soon. Can’t say I know definitely for the future.

[pliant hatch]

You may ask it again tomorrow during daytime CET as it's more likely a dev will be online here.
And you will more likely get an answer then as well.

Ha!

I found the Swamp-paradox.

The best moment to find the sunken crypts is at night.
The best time to stay out of the swamp unless you want to deal with wraiths is at night.

[hearty niche]

The Cold debuff is potent enough early game that I avoid all biomes at night. Being cold and unrested trying to run from a horde of gfreydwarves even can often turn sideways.

[feral parrot]

Well guys. I tried my first play through months ago and failed in the swamps. I was to hasty.. leaving the Bronze Age without having the best food and poison resists etc… this go around. Holy moly, it’s a lot easier. I just cleared my first crypt with no problems. Put up a home outside the swamp that has like 20 crypts so I can make the iron.

It’s going smoothly.. 👌🏻

[hearty niche]

Yeah good food makes a huge difference.

I think I could rock a bronze atgeir nearly through endgame as long as I had biome-appropriate food.

[half dragon]

Damn this Inn ended up being so time consuming. But roof is finally done, so the building basically done too, right?

who needs walls or decorations or anything that makes an Inn an Inn

[pliant hatch]

Building is done, but you still need to order your furniture at Valkea

[crude yacht]

I really like their meatballs.

[pliant hatch]

Valkea only serves sausages...

[half dragon]

one day maybe they'll add balls to the menu.

ashlands tier new food item, ash balls

[hearty niche]

I build the same way. The roof is always the hardest part.

Once you've completed the roof, it's just filling in the lines.

[half dragon]

I usually start by building the floor to plan shape of the building, then I start building the pillars/frame so I can build the roof

annoying to see everything rotten, so I usually try to build the roof as I build the wall

like... build some floor and start building the roof as much as I can

I really need a break from building this lol. I'll probably setup a fishing spot next

[ember panther]

Which animal would be best for meatballs? Deer balls? Lox balls?

[pliant hatch]

Trolls

I'm usually start by digging out the basement and build a tiny shack in there to live until I got stone building available.
After that I build the basement and ground floor first, 1st floor after that with either stone pillars or wood-iron beams to support or a combination of both.
After that I go inside one tile by using 26° roof, using wood for the next floor(s) and finishing everything with 26° roof pieces eventually.
Advantage of that roof is that you can stand / walk on it; making building a roof a lot easier.

And once I get to plains, I replace the regular roof for the shingles the moment I got enough tar.

[ember panther]

I like to mix the roofing pieces together. 26 for edges and 45 at the peak

[pliant hatch]

I'm often using the 45° ridge as top piece to get rid of the smoke.

I may have to adjust some of my building anyway, as this is the first one where I'm using 4 hearths.
One in my "kitchen" and the other three to warm the building, using an open area in the floor above.
Kinda like a Skyrim house.

[ember panther]

Do you know if hearths give off the same heat radius as bonfires?

[half dragon]

I just lift a part of the top to let smoke out

but that depends on the building, had to do things very differently for my Inn

[pliant hatch]

I dunno if the range of a hearth and a bonfire is the similar or one of them is smaller.
I do know that with 4 hearth and nothing else I'm getting a rested bonus of 4-5.

[half dragon]

used same idea, that I lifted a part of the roof above kitchen to let smoke out, but also made indoor roof under the roof to redirect the smoke closer to the side of the building

This is what I did with the Inn and it's large kitchen with a lot of fire sources (6 ovens, 3 hearths) #screenshots message

[foggy glacier]

I think the hearth has a bigger range, ~12m The bonfire is more like the campfire, only about 8m

I like to build my hearths next to a stone wall and use roof inside to funnel the smoke out a hole in the wall.

I so wish we had chimney options.

[odd helm]

Hearth is the only one of them with 2 points of comfort, as well

[foggy glacier]

an iron chimney and fume hood would be an awesome build piece.

[frigid gust]

If anything that will be a target post-release. The more systems they develop for at once the more it will slow everything down in the meantime. XBox only happened because they were asked to port it and given support to do so from what I understand.

[odd helm]

Aye, was a collaboration with Microsoft and a third party studio that took over most/all porting work.

[unique onyx]

you can build a chimney out of stone, just overlap the stone on the inside so that rain can't get in but smoke can get out

[merry pebble]

hearth has roughly 12m range and bonfire has 15m or 12m depending if it is raining or not 😄
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Bonfire
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Hearth

[frigid gust]

Just make sure you leave 1m or so gaps otherwise the smoke will just stay trapped.

[pliant hatch]

Darn. Just had my worst sunken crypt ever. Only 20 iron out of it.
The positive of it are that I managed to get my 3rd Draugr Elite trophy from it, as well as some jewels, gold and chains.

And to think the first crypt in this swamp generated 137 scrap iron

[ember panther]

Bonfires definitely have more range than campfires. They also persist in the rain. Hearths tho, I'm not sure if they have greater range or just the same

[odd helm]

I feel like you went from the extreme right of the bell curve to somewhere in the middle left

[pliant hatch]

Fortunately there are more crypts in this swamp, so eventually I'll be able to get more than a (long)boat load out of it.

I'm also needing the iron for building, as I maxed all my tools and weapons from a previous swamp.

[frigid gust]

I often have a hoe and a cart when I find a good swamp, and just haul the cart from crypt to crypt until it gets too unweildy and then I take it to the nearest shore, build a boat and get outta there

[pliant hatch]

I got a portal building near the coast and put 2 chests in it.
The metal is dropped in the chest, the rest is portalled home right away.
When both chests are full, I get the boat and sail it all back home.
Also means I need to run back and forth a couple of times, but that's giving me the advantage I'm able to get enough bloodbags for food.

Entrails aren't really a problem, with all the Draugr spawning in crypts anyway.

[half dragon]

my world's swamp I found has filled me 2 full long boats with iron, and if rest of those crypts are a bit lucky might be enough for 3rd

[pliant hatch]

And with the crypts having their own chests, it's easy to drop items I don't want to transport right away; but instead pick them up at my last run, before I cross off that crypt.

I transported the first 10 loads of scrap from the first crypt with a karve and one stack on me.
Last 5-6 stacks are still in the chest at that place.
So will sail there, load the iron, sail to Swamp #2, pick up the iron, sail to the Smouldering tomb and do that one, before sailing back.
Will be a nice trip to do for sure.

After that I'll see. I got 3 more crypts spotted, so I'm quite certain I'll get those 18 slots filled up with full stacks. 😄

[native junco]

Curious if anyone can comment on how the game stability has been related to multiplayer ping in heavily terrain changed and built up location with 3+ people

with so many patches related to that, just curious how improved it is

[frigid gust]

That is hard to tell specifically... it's pretty stable, but it will depend heavily on the network connection between ALL players (each player can be the "controller" of a given area at any time) and the performance of their PCs relative to the world and buildings

Overall game performance has improved quite a bit, but the netcode isn't significantly different from what I know

[native junco]

Lets go with a dedicated server with 500mb stable connection

[half dragon]

no clue about multiplayer, but even in single player there's been masssive improvements over the years

[frigid gust]

The server in Valheim is really just a data repository. It doesn't really control any gameplay to a significant extent, it just logs and saves what the clients tell it to.

[native junco]

okay, last we played was 9months ago, and with 5 ppl building up a single village it got to a point where opening a box took up to 20sec to load a container.

But we all had over 1gb connections and decent PC's

[frigid gust]

When a client enters a chunk it becomes the controller of that chunk, and manages all enemy AI, drops, reactions to other players, everything, and then just sends that back to the server. But that's why each individual's PC and connection are important, because any player could be the lynchpin in a given area.

Gotcha. Yeah, there have been some fixes to the chest ownership logic and some things like that so it's definitely improved. How much for your specific case I can't really attest to, though.

[native junco]

cheers for the info

Curious if there is a way to make it so all that data is Server side and not based on individual PC's but I guess that would be to taxing for a server and wuld incrise the expense and load on one =/

[frigid gust]

Yeah, not really any way to do that as far as I know, there might be a mod that will do that, but I haven't personally looked into any of that.

[pliant hatch]

You know it'll be a "fun crypt" the moment the first thing you encounter after entering, are a one star Elite and a one star Draugr archer.

[foggy glacier]

better load up the scale shield.

[pliant hatch]

I'm running with a banded shield. Works well enough for me.

[native junco]

Iron shield tends to last me till late Plains only changing it foe Mistlands

But then as the derp I am I always just go for Crom and never use shields again any way heh

[merry pebble]

i usually go with iron buckler, then switch to blackmetal shield and after that carapace buckler 😄

[empty flume]

hey, new to this game and still haven't found any iron. What's the deal with iron?

[half dragon]

you need to progress through the game to get access/easier access to new materials, features and stuff

at the start you're stuck with caveman gear, next comes bronze when you get a pickaxe, to get good amount of iron you will need to go to the next biome (swamp), but you'll need an item from a boss first.

each biome will have new materials for you

[vivid walrus]

iron is found in the sunken crypt (dungeons) in the swamp

[empty flume]

too bad there aren't iron ore mines

[half dragon]

progression goes like this: Meadows > forest > swamp > mountain > plains > mistlands > ashlands (not implemented yet) > north (not yet)

[vivid walrus]

Just a word of advice too.... try to use iron sparingly.... you'll end up using a lot of it, and it's kind of a pain to get.

[idle storm]

Crypts are easier once you get usedbto dealing with draugr in small spaces

[half dragon]

crypt slimes are the worst, and also those 2 star archers

but they also used to be way worse

[idle storm]

Never had an issue with archers but i also go for root armir first thing

[kind burrow]

why are there tags in the lfg servers? I filter for vanilla and see so many modded servers

[half dragon]

Might not all be mods

[idle storm]

Since you can tank abominations in maxed troll armor with bone shield

[half dragon]

idk how common they're in Valheim, but there are server side "mods" that do not require anybody else to install anything

[azure yacht]

It's still wrong to tag them as vanilla if they still run with mods

That should be addressed

[tame yarrow]

so funny story, I've been catching boars and putting them in a pit for a long time now, and I've been wondering why they just keep disappearing. I only figured it out when I noticed my most recent catch run into the nearby bonfire and burn to death.

stupid boars...

[idle storm]

Happened to all of us i think

[distant radish]

Not stupid, they live by their warrior honor code and prefer death over captivity

[fleet cedar]

You could just press F5 and type in “devcommands” and spawn in iron just type “spawn iron 50 “ you can do this with all items in the game

[exotic cradle]

Bad advice my lord

[fleet cedar]

If your doing it on console tho you press the share and pause button and the two dpads all together

[fleet cedar]

Why is that

[exotic cradle]

Because your first reflex is to cheat?

[fleet cedar]

Well I mean it’s not cheating if the game had the mechanics to do it some people just like to build and explore

Has*

[exotic cradle]

..But he didn't say that, he said he's new, so instead of giving pointers you just told him to spawn some in? 🥲

[fleet cedar]

I’ve finished the game without it 8 times I just like to build now

[exotic cradle]

Completely unrelated

[ornate sentinel]

The game also has the mechanic of "Running the program" and "quitting game". It doesn't necessarily define the gameplay experience, though.

[fleet cedar]

I suppose in my opinion valheim is just Minecraft with lore and different graphics

[ornate sentinel]

Just because it's mechanically available doesn't mean you should be doing that for optimal gaming experience.

[fleet cedar]

Define optimal gaming experience would that not be a subjective standard for one’s own optimal gaming experience may be different from another’s

[azure yacht]

It's a "mechanic" that isn't meant to be used in normal playthrough.

[azure yacht]

I'm sure most would agree that cheating everything in without experiencing the game as it should first should not be recommended

[fleet cedar]

Well that’s the advice I got work smarter not harder

👍

[ornate sentinel]

I don't feel like that's as helpful a counter-argument as you think it is. In fact, it kinda proves the point that it goes against how most people feel about it.

[azure yacht]

You can do that while still playing as intended

[exotic cradle]

Cheating isn't smarter lol

[ember panther]

I miss the command being imacheater

[fleet cedar]

Again subjective standard

[azure yacht]

I will lie in my resume and say I have 10 years of experience as a nuclear physicist and work at a nuclear plant.

I'm sure nothing will go wrong

[fleet cedar]

That has no correlation 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[exotic cradle]

Okay, on your 9th playthrough, spawn in, teleport to the queen, and just killall ^^ super effective!

[ember panther]

Okay Homer

[azure yacht]

Neither is stating you finished the game eight times to recommending someone to cheat things in while being new :p

[fleet cedar]

I actually have done that also spawn in the bosses from time to time to just fight them for fun

[idle storm]

I mean there is a "no build cost" world modifier... if you just want to build why bother lugging around iron at all?

[fleet cedar]

I enable that too I mean I also mod my worlds so

[azure yacht]

That is a less cheaty way

(But it does feel like cheating considering how easy it makes everything)

[exotic cradle]

More and more reasons to stop giving advice to new players 😛

[ornate sentinel]

So basically, if you have taken any cues from this current spat, do not cheat your way to iron, k thnx.

[idle storm]

I don't do it in my survival worlds

I have a build-world though just to experiment with stuff and if i feel like just doing a side project without functional value

[fleet cedar]

Or do whatever you want and don’t listen to video game elitest purests

[azure yacht]

Again, the whole point is to not recommend new players to play via cheats, let them play as intended first, whether they want to plays with modifiers or not fine, but don't tell them to just spawn everything in

[azure yacht]

Now you're just bending our arguments to what you want to read...

[ornate sentinel]

Oh now THAT is a hot take! Super spicy!

[idle storm]

Everything in my main world is farmed the vanilla way, it just feels like more of an accomplishment imo if you're standing in your epic endgame base having fought and bled for every stone and plank of wood instead of just getting them out of thin air.

[ember panther]

Ive yet to try the dev commands feature. I turned on hammermode on my completed world to muck around with n got bored pretty quick. I guess if all you wanna do is build but somehow I enjoy the struggle of needing more resources to finish my work

[fleet cedar]

Can you say I’m an eliteist without saying I’m an elitest

[ember panther]

No one said you're an elitist 😂

[vocal rivet]

Oh God. THIS argument again?

[azure yacht]

And this is now devolving to trolling.

If you're gonna start mocking people for not agreeing with you then you might as well stop talking

[fleet cedar]

I’m saying everyone shyting on me is lmao

[ornate sentinel]

[vocal rivet]

Yes, dev commands are cheating. No, if that helps you enjoy the game, that's not a bad thing. Done.

[fleet cedar]

Imagine not using a mechanic in a video game because you feel some kind of moral superiority wild bro wild

[ember panther]

You're just playing the game differently. That's fine too ofc but for a new player, the joys of this game come from exploring and figuring out how to do things the way it was intended... Without cheats

[exotic cradle]

Devcommands is not a mechanic, it's in the name. It's for testing, spawning, cheating.

[idle storm]

The entire point is that telling a new player to skip the game via devcommands is terrible advice

emphasis on NEW

[grizzled wing]

Yep that's me, I'm better than everyone else because my way of playing is morally superior and I'm not joking

[fleet cedar]

Who are you to say to him it may be amazing advice

[nocturne wolf]

In my first playthrough I only used commands because of save corrpution. Xbox release had a lot of save problems.

[vocal rivet]

It's not.

[fleet cedar]

At least you can admit it I respect that

[fleet cedar]

Still you don’t know that it may be to him

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/katena-sarcasm-tbv-sarcasm-eyeglasses-gif-16424238

[fleet cedar]

Well that’s ableist

[vocal rivet]

How can it ever be good advice?

[unique onyx]

it's cool if you can't play without cheating. like bumpers in bowling right. to say you're playing on equal ground with everybody else would be incorrect though

[exotic cradle]

Now you're deffo trolling ^^

[vocal rivet]

Some people are going to be PISSED when dev commands disappear at launch.

[fleet cedar]

Am I how do you know how can you be sure 🥸

[unique onyx]

i know i am, building without fly was a lot more work than it should be!

[fleet cedar]

Well I play on Xbox cloud so they won’t lol

[ember panther]

They're really gonna remove it??

[fleet cedar]

Yeah that’s just a rumor so cope harder

[ember panther]

Lol what

[vocal rivet]

They're for use during testing. Why would they once the game is finished?

[azure yacht]

Nothing has been confirmed, but there's little reason to remove them tho.

Things can always need testing whether the game leaves ea or not

[near furnace]

🤔

[vocal rivet]

99% of what you might need are world modifiers anyway now.

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/naruto-gif-22072927

[fleet cedar]

Also even if they did I would still have my full stocked castle world with fully stocked large chests with every item in the game times 50

What?

[nocturne wolf]

Not for us normal people

[near furnace]

@vocal rivet where did you hear that we would remove devcommands? 😄

[fleet cedar]

I did I don’t spend my whole life on discord idk who this goof ball is

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[vocal rivet]

Oh, just a guess.

[ornate sentinel]

🤣

[near furnace]

don't guess

[kind burrow]

keep the devcommands but please do something about the tagging in lfg servers

[near furnace]

it brings horrible things to dereks who guesses wrong

[azure yacht]

Who you taking about?

[ornate sentinel]

I think he's talking about Smiffe

[fleet cedar]

Smiffe idk who that is

Idk who that is maybe inform me

[azure yacht]

A developer...

[fleet cedar]

Ah I see

[near furnace]

no...

[ember panther]

Sorry... Lol I was just kidding

[vocal rivet]

That's on me, sorry.

[fleet cedar]

In that case thanks smiffe for the dev commands I really enjoy building and just exploring

[near furnace]

no kidding allowed 😄

_1) Be polite, don't hate on anyone, don't flame, don't troll, and have fun! _ <---

[fleet cedar]

W huge W

I only started trolling when everyone started shyting on me

I gave my advice cope with it

[exotic cradle]

Cute backpaddling

[fleet cedar]

It’s peddling sweet heart not paddleing

[near furnace]

tip of the day if you use devcommands anyways.
Setkey StaminaRate 0

[fleet cedar]

Anyways I rest my case

[azure yacht]

No one was, that's just your perception of what happened to not admit that what you said initially was wrong.

Telling someone new to cheat and pretty much not enjoy the game is terrible advice

[sharp halo]

I demand

[frigid gust]

Sorry, best I've got is 🍯

[sharp halo]

damn 😤

[crude yacht]

No, removing devcommands is probably not a good idea. But it would be nice to be able to limit them on dedicated servers so that only admins can use them.

[nocturne wolf]

I need commands to stay, but for funnies, not cheating.

[fleet cedar]

[vocal rivet]

Noone can without mods.

[crude yacht]

Who cares about them in the single player mode...you make it into what you want it to be.

[frigid gust]

I'm pretty sure they'll stay. They will likely stay just as they are, not on by default and taking some work to enable, and not working when you're connected to a server.

[thin sonnet]

Yes don't troll. Trolls break houses, even if they can help you with copper mining

[frigid gust]

But their skins make such comfy shirts...

[thin sonnet]

Oh good point

Troll hoodie

[near furnace]

?

[unique onyx]

no, money down!

[azure yacht]

So... just like it is now

[near furnace]

I would be against it

I like devcommands

[frigid gust]

He should at least get his own prebuilt, call it a smiffehut or something 😛

[azure yacht]

SkillGainRate set to x10

All skills lost at death but still respawn with equipped items

No map, no portals

No work bench requirements.

This will be a very unique playthrough

[loud valve]

Very high spawn rate of raids though

[hollow crag]

The cart is legit the orst part of valheim

worst*

[vocal rivet]

Carts are great for carrying things you can't hold.

[hollow crag]

No its not

It legit takes me longer to get my silver down the mountain and travel a really short distance to the shore than it is to sail a long way back

[nocturne wolf]

If you’re overfilling it with the heaviest materials you can find it is going to be slow, but if you don’t make it too heavy it will still be better than just your inventory.

[vocal rivet]

You can send a cart down a mountain in seconds.

[hollow crag]

The entire purpose of a cart is to carry heavy matels bruh

[nocturne wolf]

But not the amount you’re probably putting in. The cart would probably collapse if it could.

[hollow crag]

It got stuck in between the most random thing and i had to legit dig an entire stone under the cart to get it unstuck

[frigid gust]

No, it's to expand your inventory. Pulling things gets more difficult the heavier it is. If you fill a cart with wood it's not too bad to haul around.

[hollow crag]

The cart is just generally really horrible to use

A little uphill? nah you never getting up there

[frigid gust]

I think a lot of it is technique, too. Once you figure out how to avoid obstacles or go zig-zag to get up a hill, to read the terrain in order to traverse it with a heavy load, it's not too bad.

Sailing is still faster if you have access to water nearby, but that's because you're using the wind to do the work instead of manually walking. Sailing is faster than running along the shore, too.

[hollow crag]

The cart should never be so user unfriendly

[nocturne wolf]

How much weight did the cart you used for silver have?

[frigid gust]

I mean... it works very close to like I have experienced a wagon or cart to work IRL. Wagons are a lot tougher to navigate up hills with kids sitting in them than when they're empty. 🤷‍♂️

[vocal rivet]

You are welcome to not use it, that's fine, but you can't say it's unusable. That's just down to personal preference.

[hollow crag]

Am not disagreeing with that but i think they should change that to be lighter a little so you can at least go up small hills a little easier even with a lot weight

[vocal rivet]

You can? I find them invaluable.

[hollow crag]

I never said it was unusable i said it was horrible to use

[lunar sapphire]

I mean there is one option you're overlooking here

Just don't use a cart

[hollow crag]

I just think they couldve make it more user friendly especially since its such an early game item

[nocturne wolf]

It’s very user friendly if it isn’t too heavy

[vocal rivet]

What's complicated about it? Press E to engage with it, move from A to B and then press E to disengage again.

[halcyon blade]

It's naturally meant to be a struggle or too difficult to go up inclines when it's way too heavy. Not sure why you and others expect that to work any other way. Also, just do multiple trips if you have too much weight, or try unequipping anything that slows movement speed (and if you have it, equip fenris armor for a speed buff).

[vocal rivet]

And don't forget your hoe to smooth out any larger bumps.

[hollow crag]

As a new player you wouldnt have as much game knowledge and would instead just be frustrated when using the cart

Just saying that they could improve this aspect of the game

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe Hugin could give a hint about weight affecting carts?

[halcyon blade]

Doesn't take any game knowledge to know that heavier cart=harder to move, especially up inclines.

[hollow crag]

Thats not all tho, you legit get stuck on every little thing with the cart

[halcyon blade]

Kind of like how wheels irl can get stuck on stuff. I know, crazy.

[hollow crag]

Some work can be put into it and just make the cart smoother

[tepid prawn]

I like how the cart is, it’s use is limited of its super heavy and the terrain is not smooth just how it should be. It is even OP in some situations like mountains where you can yeet it down totally overfilled and it sometimes arrives intact and you just saved a lot of running silver down the mountain like you would have to without

[hollow crag]

If we talking about irl than they should introduce the next tier of transportation or options to upgrade the wheels or a better cart

[hollow crag]

I mean i understand how it keeps the cart realistic with the weights, but right now i just think a bit optimizing to make it go smoother would make a lot of new players days when they are trying to use the cart for their first time

[vocal rivet]

The game doesn't tell you when the player is too heavy either, but everyone works it out.

[shy marlin]

Wdym, when you are first encumbered hugin yaps at you, the screen flashes with "You are encumbered", and when you open your inventory there's a flashing red number

The game does 3 separate things to alert players on being encumbered

[vocal rivet]

O_O I'd... somehow forgotten all of that.

[shy marlin]

👍 np

[vocal rivet]

Fair enough. Maybe "The cart is too heavy" wouldn't be such a bad idea then.

[vocal rivet]

They do, the lox.

[hollow crag]

?

[sour fjord]

the lox transport goods?

[vocal rivet]

You carry the goods, sit on lox, lox carries you.

[hollow crag]

you can ride them encumbered ?

Cuz i know that you cant sail while encumbered

[exotic cradle]

Yus

[sour fjord]

idea: lox cart the size of a house, 64 slots in it, strap it to lox, goodbye inventory issues

[hollow crag]

ig i could try that out when i get to black metal age

[loud valve]

Strap dead bodies to lox and herd them?

Actually, I do want to know this

If you die on a lox, but the lox doesn't die, do you now have a lox cart?

[tepid prawn]

Please go log in and test this right now, I can’t I’m at work lol

[loud valve]

I am on vacation in a farm with no computer lol

[sour fjord]

I WOULD BUT I HAVE NO TAMED LOX D:

We don't know a release date for Deep North yet. Ashlands is coming out first half of 2024 so anytime between April (now) and June 30th 2024. It is quite likely that there will be another bigger content patch like Hearth & Home after Ashlands update before we see the Deep North update, it is also a strong possibility that the Deep North update will be the one that makes the game come out of Early Access, which means it might take longer in development than Ashlands or Mistlands, thats what I think will happen. (I'm happy with all of this because the content so far that has come out has been nothing short of amazing, I don't mind the slow pace)

I would say thats quite unlikely

The Ocean is still set to get an update sometime between Ashlands and Deep North, right?

[merry pebble]

I am not sure we ever got told when it would be.

[paper marsh]

Don’t think they’ve said anything about ocean update before Deep North, but it’s a possibility. They originally wanted to do an ocean update but scrapped the road map

[frigid gust]

Ocean will be after DN if they do anything for it

[crude yacht]

Ocean geysers and icebergs!

[random token]

Yeah I remember the scrapping, but also remember seeing several mentions of it still being in line for an update.

Just hoping for some extra ocean fun ☺️

[vocal rivet]

It will?

[plain bane]

Deep Ocean

[safe flower]

I think they said they want to update the ocean a bit but it won’t be a full boom update with a boss

[plush umbra]

[latent gorge]

That say, DN will be the last biome and shall be the hardest of all

[safe flower]

Yes dn is the last, but they had talked about doing a bit with ocean, maybe between Ashlands and dn

[latent gorge]

That’s good to hear as ocean needs an overhaul

[tepid prawn]

Correct Deep North will be last and hardest, they said they will probably do something to Ocean but not 100% confirmed, it might happen between Ashlands and Deep North in an update similar to Hearth & Home IF they decide to do it, also possible that Ocean will not get any biggish update.

Imho Ocean doesn't need much, most of it should be water to sail through, how else are we going to feel like Vikings, the emptiness of Ocean contributes to the feeling of a Viking out on sea on the way to new lands, if there is too much ocean content that feeling could be lost, one of my worries about ocean stuff.

[latent gorge]

I agree of the feeling of emptiness while sailing through the open waters. Instead of not adding new stuff to ocean, they can easily expand the map a little larger(more oceans).

[covert viper]

While exploration is fun, sailing is one of the most boring parts of the game imo though outside of serpent spawns. Plenty that could be done, more monsters, make fishing more worthwhile, more interesting ships/custom ships, pirates?
