[urban fulcrum]

The main menu is chugging

[vagrant bobcat]

If you go to the performance tab of task manager is your GPU at 100%?

[urban fulcrum]

CPU is a Ryzen 9 6900, 31GB memory

[urban fulcrum]

Try 31%

[glad schooner]

Running any recording software?

[urban fulcrum]

Nothing, just heim and steam and a tab of Firefox

[glad schooner]

I'm sure your drivers are up to date?

[urban fulcrum]

Good catch

[glad schooner]

Drivers are always the first thing I check when issues.

[frigid gust]

Try turning the render scale down a bit and see if that helps. If so it's GPU limitations, if not it's CPU limitation. But laptops notoriously have a hard time exhausting heat because they often share heat sinks between GPUs and CPUs, and Valheim loads up both pretty heavily. Also, do a factory reset on the drivers as Spiff is saying, Nvidia can have some janky issues. Make sure there are no game specific settings as well.

[urban fulcrum]

Let’s see

[glad schooner]

It's rare but some graphics cards just aren't compatible with certain games. Had that issue with a certain card and subnautica

[urban fulcrum]

So geforce now won’t boot

I think there’s the issue, there’s something fucked here

[glad schooner]

Good luck, I hope you get it fixed! I played with like 0.5 fps for a year before I could afford a new pc and now everything looks great and it's so much more enjoyable!

[urban fulcrum]

Valhiem is capped at literally 5 FPS weird

I think it’s heim

But idk how to fix that

It can crank it to max, I can lower it to min

So why is it throttled

[dense steppe]

Reinstall Windows

[urban fulcrum]

Of course of course

It’s just valheim that’s the kicker, is there something weird about the fps cap

OH ITS BECAUSE OF WINDOWS 11

And maybe because valheim is very resource intensive idk

Okay I turned my driver off and on again and it ran wayyy better ????

[obsidian pasture]

what dedicated server can i play ashelands on

[vocal rivet]

Any one you set up to use the beta.

[obsidian pasture]

i bought a 6$ one and it doesnt let me

just a reccomendation is all i need of one somebody might currently be using

[urban fulcrum]

What server provider do@you use

[obsidian pasture]

supercraft

if it does let me, its not simple and i cant figure it out lmao

[urban fulcrum]

Oki doki, lemme take a swing

[obsidian pasture]

i figured it out

[knotty schooner]

i added mods and a void lord was right outside my base and my base is now destroyed.

wtf is a void lord 🥹

[frigid gust]

Sounds like a discussion for #mods-discussion

[tender cedar]

do i need 2 chickens 2 spawn another egg?

[vagrant creek]

is the deep north gonna be the final major update to the game?

[vocal rivet]

It's the final biome, but we don't know what other updates will happen before 1.0 release.

[frigid gust]

Yes. Just like any other breeding tames.

[tender cedar]

nvm just saw that the campfire wasnt lighted

its has been a while since a slayed the queen[]

[deft thistle]

Hey, do yall think its worth it to play the Ashlands on an existing world rn or wait until the full update comes out?

[tender cedar]

If you havent explored the biome yet

i think its worth it

[frigid gust]

The generation should be mostly stable at this point, but weirder things have happened. If you make backups you can do it without much risk.

[deft thistle]

Appreciate it, gonna start back up with a friend wanna get the full experience

[tender cedar]

honestly if you have played recently you can go for it, specially if you didnt build anythin in there

[upper moon]

does anyone wanna help me defeat the queen? my brother chickened out when he saw her lol

[frigid gust]

Good thing to ask in #1024264966712340510

[placid yew]

I literally just beat her to prepare for the PTB. it was a fantastic fight to solo but i swear i was in there for an hour lmao

[paper marsh]

what build did you go for?

[rain flare]

Yeah, the later bosses are VERY tough solo
Can take a while if you are learning the movest

[placid yew]

I had the Eitr set, mistwalker and carapace shield and Ice/Fire staves and protection staff. Sorry i’m not good with the names. And bonemass as well. I brought health meads and stamina meads and also ate all 3 eitr meals available from mistlands.

used fire staff to hand seeker broods and the mist walker on the seekers and ice staff primarily on the queen.

i would rely on bonemass the majority of the intro and then would move to the protection staff after bonemass would run out.

i think it would have been way easier with KB/M for all the hot bar switching, but i did gamepad instead in the end.

[paper marsh]

pretty efficient build. Magic tends to be the by far easiest way to go

[placid yew]

yeah i tried a run with Crom/Mistwalker/and the new sledge hammer but was having a rough time with full health/stam foods

i could parry but would get so much knock back i wouldn’t be close enough to even attack. So it felt very souls-y with all the rolling you have to do to stay close

my skills were all around the 40s-50s btw

[idle elk]

is there any like manual save for dedicated servers?

or do i just close the cmd

[half dragon]

I think for melee players blood magic is something to take a look at, that shield spell specifically.

Allows you to tank through some hits and keep swinging

[paper marsh]

It’s very good indeed. Can parry anything too

[half dragon]

I took a look at it what it looks like when you level it up and... looks pretty insane. Goes from 200 (0) to 700 at max level

but do have to note that it does not benefit from armor and some types of attacks will deal more damage than normal, since it will be damage by pickaxe/cutting type of damage as well

[paper marsh]

And you can’t refresh the health of it until it breaks or the timer expires

[half dragon]

but either way, even fully protecting from 1 hit is really useful

and for most enemies that should be more than just 1

is the shield immune to poison, fire DoT ect?

I don't recall seeing shamans in shield get poisoned

[idle storm]

It's definitely not immune to poison (blobs and oozers can break it). It blocks you from getting the debuff while it lasts though.

[half dragon]

I guess the poison damage is all done instantly instead of getting poisoned

[wide zenith]

Why there is no bonearrows

[half dragon]

because there are bone bolts

[wide zenith]

There are also carapace bolts, but we have carapace arrows
No logic in your words

[half dragon]

there's also obsidian arrows but no obsidian bolts, no logic in your words

There just isn't that's why. There's no deeper reason than that

[molten cave]

just get the ValheimArmory mod

it has obsidianbolts

[wintry panther]

I entered swamp for the first time, then ran back with my leftover food and died again

now I have no food to make another run

and im on easy combat mode...

[warm sandal]

then you need to consolidate and make more food and switch back to former gear before you try again. If you go there again and again it is a downspiral

[wintry panther]

I killed a deer and took some berrys ill be fine

[warm sandal]

bows are a beginners best friend. if in doubt shoot it from a distance until you feel comfy with melee

[warm sandal]

that's the spirit

[wintry panther]

hehehe

I got them, I also died by a crypt so yeah I found my first one

[warm sandal]

As a beginner... how do you like it so far? Valheim can be frustratingly tough if you just start out. I sure was frustrated when I began

[wintry panther]

yeah I hated corpse runs at the start, I later put on easy combat mode which I still have

its tolerable for now

[pliant radish]

When I first played the game I found the bosses to be easy while constantly dying to random star enemies

And now after 300 hours, I feel exactly the same

[warm sandal]

LOL when I first started the star mobbs would scare the shit out of me... when I first entered the swamp back then I would stand on a tree or stump and shoot what ever was moving and then went to sprint to the next tree 😄 nowadays the only boss that has my pants in twists is moder... i hate her with a passion! 😄

[wintry panther]

ok so... im being chased by the swamp boss and about 3 skeletons while on 38 hp and 2 stamina. Any suggestions?

[frozen jewel]

helo can som one tel me haw to raise skills using the dev comands?

[warm sandal]

best advise for beginners would be: don't rush it. be prepared for what you want to do and then prepare some more before you go 😄 prevents early demise best i found...

[warm sandal]

I sure can't I always do it the old fashioned way by just playing I would not even know how to use devcommands 😄

[pliant radish]

calmly walk away and you won't get hit, dodge if it throws a big thingy at you. Its very slow and skeletons are similarly not that fast. do this until you regen
also bring potions next time if you didn't this time

[molten cave]

make a root helmet piece as soon as you can while you're in the swamp

[pliant radish]

I personally prefer to just use a poison resistance potion so I don't have to give up extra defense from stronger armor

[warm sandal]

...and you do not need to click like a berserker... justs one attack at a time shield or walk back a step as not to get hit... and one more... slowly does the trick.. spaming the mouse key is not helping

also most mobs are pretty slow compared to you...walk away and in circles until you regen 😄

[wintry panther]

what do I need for that armor

[pliant radish]

kill the abominations :)

[molten cave]

the "swamp boss" that was chasing you the one that looks like a spider drops the material required

[pliant radish]

They look terrifying but they're actually very easy to kill by parrying. Use an axe for extra damage against them

Stand directly underneath it and parry every time it slams down, you'll be fine as long as you don't mistime it

[wintry panther]

how lovely

[warm sandal]

you can only parry them if your health is high enough and you got a good enough buckler... don't try if you at 32 hp 😄

[molten cave]

yeah lol if you miss a parry with bad food/ gear you get one shot

you can cheese them with fire arrows

[warm sandal]

you can stand on a crypt where it can not reach you and just firearrow and if it comes close chop with the axe at it's legs sticking out over the crypt

they are scary but with tactics they can be killed

[wintry panther]

alright ill try

[molten cave]

im hoping you're going in there with fully upgraded bronze armour and not just troll hide

[warm sandal]

ähm I am in there wit troll armor 😄 killed 4 so far 😄

i will darn the root sstuff when its stats exceed the troll one... but that is not good advice for beginners 😄

[pliant radish]

The first time I encountered an abomination it was just me and my brother and we didn't realize they existed. It destroyed our boat and teleporter as we panicked and ran in circles before dying

[wintry panther]

what do I do with ancient bark

[pliant radish]

a bunch of stuff probably

[warm sandal]

the first time i encountered one i ran to a crypt and stood up there and was painstakingly killing it by bow whilst being shot at by draugr and skeletons

[warm sandal]

lot's of things for most the longboat for more comfy sailing

[warm sandal]

If you want we can go to a voice channel and I can stream my game so you can watch if that would help you see what to do?

[wintry panther]

alright

[warm sandal]

I will be over at Meaddows Glade then 😄

[meager fossil]

@warm sandal You still here?! Take a break 😂

[vapid compass]

is the new biome ashland present on a save created before the update oh ashlands ?

[pliant hatch]

She had taken a break.
But most likely left the game, slept, woke up and jumped right in.

Just like you do in Valheim itself. 😄

And..... good morning y'all.

👋

[kindred fractal]

hey guys i just wanna ask for public test is ashlands there full update or what

[tepid prawn]

Yes but do not discuss PTB here go to the appropriate channel

[half dragon]

About time... finally managed to build all black metal chests for the warehouse and put a sign for sorting them. For the first time in 450 days, there's not a single random chest on the floor just lying around with all kind of random stuff in it

[pliant hatch]

All 202 chests are build now?

[tepid prawn]

I recommend building a few more for next update 🙂

[half dragon]

there's enough chests for 6 more biomes or something 😂

[pliant hatch]

Unless you fill 99% of them with tar........

[half dragon]

possible...

[tepid prawn]

Oh that’s too many, will only be 2 more, Ashlands and Deep North

Tar is super important for builders

[half dragon]

eh, never know if I suddenly run out of space in 1 section of the warehouse and need more extra space for some stuff... but at least it looks good

[tepid prawn]

I made 3 warehouses in my main world haha, with 32 bm chests each

[half dragon]

I've got close to 200 in that 1 warehouse, made it big enough so that I can move around in there with a cart

took about 1.5 black metal chests of black metal to make them all

[fringe wyvern]

hi guys i am just wondering how can i acess ashlands test at steam? does it just put yesimadebackups and start?

[merry pebble]

you go to propreties, betas and there you put in the yesimadebackups 🙂

[fringe wyvern]

cheers mate 🙂

[plush umbra]

so all that talk about chests, how many items are ther in the game? having dedicated biome warehouses aounds awesome

[storm fractal]

are the world .db(database) files encrypted or can you browse them with no issue?

[meager fossil]

@pliant hatch Haha fair enough. Good morning brother!

[pure mica]

when public test ends

[lunar sapphire]

When most/all of the bugs are patched out through testing 🤘

as to when (date wise) no date given yet

Please don't ask the same question across multiple channels

[warm sandal]

I did sleep and have coffee and all that 😄 woke up at 9 and started playing at 10... quit just now because I need get ready to go out later 😄

so no worries...got my rested buff and am good to go IRL

[pliant hatch]

And what dangerous biome are you planning to head into?
The Jungle?

[warm sandal]

the Dancing School 😄 I got dancing classes with friends on saturday afternoons and evenings 😄

you need dodging skills there too, as not to get run over by other dancers and stepped on the foot by your dancing partner 😄

[pliant hatch]

And there I was, thinking that female armor with high heels was obsolete.

[warm sandal]

oh I do not want high heels... makes dancing so much harder 😄

LOL

[pliant hatch]

Well, in case it helps, a knife will be a better weapon in there as a spear.

[warm sandal]

I'll just use evil gazes 😄 super efficient and no stamina use 😄

i sure could use some stamina meads though... boy dancing can drain stamina like jumping around in the mistlands 😄

[pliant hatch]

Barley wine may help too.

[dense steppe]

[warm sandal]

you mean in case i get heat from the teacher? LOL

[pure mica]

It is written on the wiki how to enable console commands in geforcenow for steam, but is there a way to enable it in Xbox game pass

[dense steppe]

If the soles smoke

[pliant hatch]

If he looks like Yagluth you certainly do. 😄

[halcyon blade]

The answer is in that very same wiki page, literally right above the steps for how to enable it in geforce now 🤦‍♂️

[pure mica]

It's only for Steam :/

[plush umbra]

hello, do tamed boars eat if there are 5 of them already?

[tepid prawn]

they will eat always but not breed if over limit

[woven cliff]

Anyone knows when Ashland will finish PTS?

[plush umbra]

i see, thanks

[frigid gust]

Nobody does. Depends on when the bugs are fixed enough for the devs to feel good about it.

[tepid prawn]

no one knows as Pita just said, its coming when its ready!

[wintry panther]

Should I make my next base near the swamp now?

I need to make one next to the water anyways

[pliant hatch]

Better to build it in another biome at walking distance to the Swamp.

That way you got a safe spot to stay before getting into the swamp, but if it's next to water, it will also be a safe spot for your boat to dock.

[rapid pivot]

do people commonly co-op with randoms for a long playthrough or it's more like MC where you have payed servers?

[frigid gust]

More like MC, But you can find groups in #1024264966712340510 if you're interested

[tepid prawn]

I love swamp treehouses, is usually my first proper base and is quite safe from raids

[ornate sentinel]

Uuuuuugh, I could be binging Valheim all day, but noooooo, I have to... checks notes... WORK.

Life is such a crime somedays.

[merry pebble]

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

[rapid pivot]

Well you have 'all night' free for that 😄

[wintry panther]

Yeah im probably gonna try to make a treehouse but not in the swamp

[pure mica]

I guess I can't explain it or you don't understand. They wrote to enable GeForce Now for those who log in from Steam, I'm asking for those who log in from Xbox.

[steep gazelle]

Hey there, for the people that already played the public test for Ashlands, is there new items added before you reach Ashlands or all the new items are only in the new biome?

[pliant hatch]

I think you better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/831071697817305128 as anything Ashlands PTB related is not allowed to be discussed in this channel.

[steep gazelle]

ah cool, thank you

[feral parrot]

I have multiple chests full of trophies. I heard ice/frost? Giant trophies are rare but got one my first day in the mountains…

Are they used for anything besides deco?

[pliant hatch]

Some of the trophies are required to craft certain weapons or armor. Others are required to be used to craft fish bait.
But in general, most of them are just there to "show off" on the trophy wall.

[feral parrot]

Gotcha

[wintry panther]

I just realised I got another power from killing the elder

What does it even do

[pliant hatch]

Help you when you want to cut wood.

[wintry panther]

wow the powers in valheim are really shitty

Very underwhelming compared to what I was expecting

[maiden granite]

some of them are shit but not all of them

[wintry panther]

And on top of that you need to head to spawn to change it

[maiden granite]

Kill "Bonemass" and you'll get the best Power

[tepid prawn]

the first one is super good, the second one only for when cutting trees but I still use it

[wintry panther]

What does it do

[maiden granite]

Gives you resistance to "Pierce, Slash and Blunt"

[tepid prawn]

the first one makes you use less stamina for running and jumping for 5 mins every 20 mins

[pliant hatch]

Eikthyr power is quite good early in the game. At least up to Swamp biome.
I've never bothered with the Power of the Elder, so I can't judge about that.
Bonemass' power is pretty good and a lot of players use it in several biomes after the Swamp.
Moder's power is good, except it's often a bit short compared to the cooldown.
Yagluth's power seems useless, but it may be a pretty good one when you want to clear out Dverger settlements in the Mistlands.
I dunno about the Queen's power, but I'm certain it may have some use.

[maiden granite]

Basically it gives you resistance to all types of physical damage

Valheim is the most fun when played with friends
You can have simultaneous boss power if 4 people plays together

[wintry panther]

when I heard valheim has powers I thought of super strenght, invisibility maybe even flying. But no, I got slightly more stamina...

[half dragon]

Just a little bit painful to get your ores up there, have to do multiple trips up and down

[half dragon]

that's just the first one. they are all very useful too

3rd power is outright OP for the short duration it lasts

If you want to hear what those other powers are can tell, or you can discover them yourself, you'll probably find them surprising after the first one

The first power is quite useful early on too when you still lack better ways to get around the map

[wide zenith]

Blood barrier gives exp when it's broken?

[azure yacht]

So you thought valheim was based on comic book superheroes.

Yeah, I can see the confusion, the game literally looks like a comic book superhero story adaptation

[wide zenith]

Which is useful as fuck

The only power that is shit - from last current boss

[wintry panther]

Those are not just comic book powers but ok

[half dragon]

3rd power does kinda turn you into a super hero for a short time, kind of only tho

[wintry panther]

Flying would be better

[azure yacht]

Not really...

[wide zenith]

No.

[wintry panther]

Yes really

[azure yacht]

What would be the point of having so many means of transportation if you could just fly?

Incredibly absurd

[wide zenith]

Go play some DC shit

[azure yacht]

I hope they absolutely never add flying of any kind

[wintry panther]

Im not saying it suites the game im just saying

[wintry panther]

I hate DC

[wide zenith]

I don't care actually

[wintry panther]

Why are you just being a dick now?

[wide zenith]

Addition to my question
Does skeletts heals over time?

[azure yacht]

We should all just leave it at this and move on...

[azure yacht]

Nope. Just resummon them

[wide zenith]

Well that sucks, i wish blood barrier was able to heal them, but there is no logic in that, so yeah..
Also would be nice to be able to summon starred skeletts with higher skill lvl

[half dragon]

That is what you gey when you run a skeleton crew

badum tsss

[azure yacht]

Of all skills, magic is certainly the last ones than need buffing.

And blood skill raises their dmg by 2% per level. Skeletts would have 3x times more dmg at lvl 100

[plush umbra]

yo yo, didn't get an answer earlier to my question about how many chests per biome to have every item covered?

[wide zenith]

Yea i know it's kinda strong. I just want cool necromancery in game :(

[wintry panther]

I want non toxic people to be here but it is what it is

[azure yacht]

I've grown fond of magic and dead raiser as well but I still dislike how powerful it is.

The changes I would like for dead raiser are more of convenience than pure buffs. Like summoning them wherever you're aiming at or fixing their AI

[wide zenith]

Don't know what are you talking about. Valheim community almost non-toxic

[azure yacht]

By AI I mean then trying to connect their attacks more often, or giving them higher resistance to knockback

[wintry panther]

"I don't care actually"

[wide zenith]

Also would be nice to shielded skeletts actually block attacks

[wide zenith]

That's was just fact, no toxic
Move on from it, buddy

[wintry panther]

k

[solar wolf]

Calcium defficiency?

[half dragon]

hmm... I guess 1 way to get a good crew of spookies would be trying to grind for 100% archer team? high level skill with archers I would imagine is quite damn powerful

[lapis acorn]

he just grabbed the wrong bone

[half dragon]

then just try keep spookies alive with the shield and you acting as the tank

[wide zenith]

And babysitting them is tiring

I mean, they already can die quickly in Mistlands

[half dragon]

high level blood magic should come in handy in that. 700hp is quite a lot if you get it to max

[wide zenith]

Starred enemies hit hard

[pliant hatch]

Please keep anything related to the Ashland PTB in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/831071697817305128

[wide zenith]

Mkay, my bad

Cleared my msgs

[pliant hatch]

Thanks. 🙂

[azure yacht]

Fun fact: They're somewhat more powerful in higher difficulties as the dmg scaling affects them.

They deal double dmg in very hard

[drifting socket]

valheim should get more content for previously explored bioms, and i really hope they are gonna revamp the dungeons they are very generic and its almost the same thing everytime

[half dragon]

very unlikely anything significant will change for them until afer Deep North

[pliant hatch]

Good thing we got https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612 for that, don't you think?

[green fulcrum]

ashlands fps go brrrrr

[drifting socket]

i wanna give feedback, but i feel like its pointless

i think i suggested something like this on a previous occasion, but the community is just too big so not too spectacular ideas will be glossed over

[half dragon]

Moving my gold from a full wooden chest to a black metal chest was a great mistake! Now I feel poor again

[wintry panther]

how do I make a tree house without it collapsing

[half dragon]

you need to build from the tree, it's treated like the ground

instead of having your stuff expand from bottom to top, with a tree house it expands from the tree to all other directions

[azure yacht]

They read all suggestions

But doesn't mean they will include all suggestions

[wintry panther]

should I make the house held by 2 trees rather than 1?

[half dragon]

either is fine, 1 tree for a smaller house, as many trees as you want for even bigger

[wintry panther]

gotcha

[frigid gust]

Doesn't hurt. Materials lose more support strength horizontally than vertically, so you sometimes need to be a bit clever in how you set things up.

[half dragon]

you could also make multiple tree houses and connect them with bridges, like each "room" for own purpose

but do make sure you protect the tree at all cost. no trolls or anything big mad near it, or your own axe or falling trees 😅

[frigid gust]

That's why I only tend to make treehouses in the Swamps

[wintry panther]

in the meadows should be fine right?

[half dragon]

nothing that can damagee a tree should spawn I think, not even later in the game

[frigid gust]

Raids exist. Just make sure there are battlements and fences to keep big enemies away from the trees

[half dragon]

oh right raids... you can turn them off though, or put extra protection like suggested

[wintry panther]

I have them turned off yeah

[half dragon]

then it should be safe, but might still want to make some minor protection for tree at trunk level just in case, don't have to be anything significant, just something to absorb an accidental hit

like a circle of wood beams or something?

No way to repair a tree as far as I know so better safe than sorry

[pliant hatch]

If you want to build in the meadows, use an Oak tree.
They're the largest and most likely the most sturdiest of that biome.

[half dragon]

sturdy for sure, but does it make for a good base? I mean, the leaves and stuff

haven't tried myself

Pine would make it easier to make a good looking tree house due to the leafy stuff being mostly at the top of it

[frigid gust]

If I make any tree house in the meadows I usually plant a pine in the middle of one of the indestructible tall stone rings

[fallen zephyr]

Building a base anchored in a tree is inherently problematic. A 'normal' base across flat land has many foundation points; individual wall pieces get destroyed when enemies overwhelm the area. What happens when (e.g.) a troll beats the crap out of the Oak tree and it falls?

[half dragon]

we went over that, raids are disabled so nothing that can damage a tree should be near it, except the player and trees that are cut

[pliant hatch]

You most likely have just enough time to mutter "Oh shit!", before everything starts to fall apart.

[delicate marlin]

There is a mod I know about that lets you repair trees to infinite health. Think it's infinity hammer. But then youd be tempted to make everything invincible.

[half dragon]

I would for sure cut all trees near it so there are no incidents of stuff falling on it and cutting it down with a sideways swing... I've seen that happen. I built bee hives on top of raised ground, and I wanted to cut down trees near them so bees would get more sunlight... one of the trees suddenly did a 90 degree sideway swing just before hitting the ground (and hit a hive). How the hell does that even happen?

They're out there to get you for cutting down so many trees

[unique onyx]

build in swamp trees instead? also as a side note, bring back larger tree models that were in the mistlands

[wide zenith]

What we really need - bigger notifications journal
Shit pisses me off when i loot tons of stuff
Just changing icons for 5mins, really

[frigid gust]

I'd like for it to highlight pieces you haven't built yet in crafting menus and such as well.

[kind pendant]

Anyone else think that a high skill bow is better than a high skill arbalest?

[wintry panther]

how do I make deer stew

[half dragon]

you probably need to upgrade your cooking station to level 2 to make that recipe appear

if I remember right can't make it until then

carrot, blueberry and deer meat (cooked)

[wintry panther]

where do I get carrots

[pliant hatch]

You remember those white flowers from the black forest?

Harvest those and you get carrot seeds.
Plant those using a cultivator and you get carrots.

[half dragon]

oh yea probably just doesn't appear because no carrots

[wintry panther]

how do I make soil for the planting

[half dragon]

with cultivaor, very cheap to make

requires a little bit of bronze. also allows you to turn soil back to grass

and plant trees

[wintry panther]

thistle?

[half dragon]

that would be blue

[wintry panther]

yeah I dont see white ones

[half dragon]

or cyan... but either way

[wintry panther]

ohhhh nevermind

[half dragon]

They're white and not very rare

[pliant hatch]

You defeated the Elder.
What kind of food did you use for that?

[fallen zephyr]

I did a chicken-soy stir-fry with a healthy seasoning of Glyphosate.

[wide basin]

Question if I start playing test will my world work when it comes out?

So I can get started on it

[pliant hatch]

Yes, it will

[wide basin]

Oh

[wide basin]

Nice !! Thanks alot

[pliant hatch]

yw

[dense comet]

Ooh i purposefully only used one world for ash lol 😂 i didn’t wanna mess up my other worlds

[wide basin]

Now we know we can play without worrying too much

[half dragon]

even older worlds work just fine, or at least should

[dense comet]

Yay now i get to go wreck havoc everywhere 😂

[golden mural]

how long do big updates usually stay in ptr before release?

[wide basin]

Depends how long they wanna keep it there to fix and add stuff usually a month

[half dragon]

apparently mistlands took about 2 weeks, but better not have any expectations and there be no disappointment

[golden mural]

yeah just nice to see a general baseline so usually 2-4 weeks got it.

[urban remnant]

OMG THE NEW UPDATE LOOKS SO COOL X0

[wintry panther]

why are carrot seeds so hard to find

[pliant hatch]

You're in the black forest?

[wintry panther]

yes

[pure blaze]

does the Ashlands patch provides new types of weapons? Can't see any in the wiki

[pliant hatch]

Just keep exploring. Eventually you will run into a bunch.
One plant is actually enough, as you will start with 3 seeds. Which will give you 3 carrots, which will give you 9 seeds and so on.

One piece of advice, because two of the foods for Black Forest use carrots (one uses 3, one uses 1), go on with farming until you got 60 carrots.
Out of those, plant 20 for seeds (giving you 60 carrots) and use the other 40 for a stack of both available foods.

When you keep doing that, you will never run out of carrots; even when you only need them to feed your boars.

[delicate marlin]

Turn down your graphical settings, one of them will reduce the floral and grass clutter making it easier to find pickables.

I can't remember which one...

[pliant hatch]

Anything Ashlands related at the wiki will most likely being hidden until the biome goes live for the public.
Right now it's still PTB, so what we do know can't be discussed in this channel anyway.

[wintry panther]

how long do the carrots take to grow

[pure blaze]

Oh. Is there a public test discussion anywhere?

nevermind, I see one

[half dragon]

not too long, a few ingame days. Sleeping probably doesn't make them grow faster tho

[pliant hatch]

I think it's 3 game days.

And another thing; that 3:1 food ratio will return with the plants you can find in the Swamp and Mountain biomes as well.
So it's something to keep in mind.

One thing I did after I didn't need the food anymore, was planting 20 of the particular plant - in your case Carrots - so I always had a stack of seeds available at my farming patch. On top of having at least 20 carrots available in a chest near my cauldron.

I did that to make sure that if I would run out of a specific ingredient, I was able to plant it asap and use that.

[hidden gorge]

sleeping does pass time

[half dragon]

doesn't work with taming and doesn't seem to work with farming either

[plush umbra]

does a building parts durability impact structural integrity?

[hidden gorge]

yeah, having a chest on your farm to store extra seeds / a buffer of crops is generally a good idea -- so when you run out of something in the kitchen, you can quickly gather it from the farm and re-sow what you are in need of

[half dragon]

nope, as long as it has 1hp it will keep supporting everything above it as usual

[hidden gorge]

don't believe so -- until it's destroyed

[plush umbra]

alright, cool

so i can leave the beams to rot and rust outside

[half dragon]

yup. if you want wood that does't rot you'll get accesss to that later

[hidden gorge]

taming certainly no, but I'm quite sure sleeping advances the timer on crops, at least it did several versions ago

I've basically stopped sleeping when I'm playing solo tho, so it's been a while since I've actually tested it

[half dragon]

haven't really tested properly, but just seems like it doesn't, but it might... might not.

[plush umbra]

I sleep all the time to skip rainfall and darkness in the night

[pliant hatch]

Sleeping is useful when you have lots of things to do, while also smelting ores and making (char)coal.
Start everything before heading to bed, sleep and pick things up at daytime. Just to immediately refill both and do something else until it's nightfall.

[hidden gorge]

not really; you can smelt ores and make charcoal while farming or collecting resources or doing other stuff

[grave radish]

anyone know is theres a mod or command that removes the need from foundation support

[hidden gorge]

crops are the really only thing that takes multiple days -- but I generally plant a bunch of stuff before going out exploring and collect it all when I get back

#mods-discussion maybe?

[odd helm]

Not in vanilla, you can ask for mods in #mods-discussion

[grave radish]

thx

[plush umbra]

often times I find myself unable to decide, which side of a wooden wall should be facing in- or outside

which side do you guys prefer?

[odd helm]

Beams on the inside, always

[hidden gorge]

that's generally the rule for fences IRL too

[pliant hatch]

True.

But after some unpleasant experiences with building or farming during the night, I decided that sleeping it over works just as well.

[compact fern]

am i supposed to get ashy weather in the meadows?

[hidden gorge]

is there a raid happening? or did you just go through a portal?

[compact fern]

i just started the world

waited 20 mins for it to hopefully pass as i cant really see anything well, didnnt pass, closed and deleted the world, started a new one, same thing

[hidden gorge]

if it's on the ptb, you prolly want to ask in those specific channels

[wide basin]

Anyone know a good server host that allows ptb

[pliant hatch]

You may have more luck in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[wide basin]

No I mean like I pay for my own server kind of thing

[odd helm]

Then possibly #dedicated-server has some resources you can search through / more experienced folk to ask

[azure yacht]

Horizontal beams on the outside. Makes it look much better and the blank side facing inwards makes wall decoration easier to place

[plush umbra]

wish there was a way to make floor/table item stands less finicky

[oak cloud]

For my wall i just put a line of small block stone then place 2 wood wall on it , 1 facing outside the other facing inside

[hidden gorge]

finicky? how so?

[plush umbra]

i wish I could see what an item would look on the item stand before placing it, right now its placing the item stand, placing the item and then rotating again and again until its right

destroying and placing again every time

maybe that wasnt the right word but I think you know what I mean

[hidden gorge]

ahh, yeah.

it's kinda tricky with the current way item stands work. if they were equippable items / hammer ammo maybe you could select the item to place and have a preview of whatever before placing

[frigid gust]

My favorite part of that dance is accidentally putting my hammer on the stand

[hidden gorge]

lol, yeah I dunno why the hammer is allowed to be placed

[hearty niche]

What's the optimal count for chickens if a person is wanting eggs? It seems like there's a limit of chicken + eggs and thus far, having 4 chickens that can lay up to 6 eggs at a time seems like the best I can do.

[frigid gust]

They've got limits for a given area. I've got 10 chickens in a 20x20 ish coop, and they seem to be ok at producing eggs.

[hearty niche]

Maybe I need a bigger coop

So - I had a troll invasion. My chicken coop is ~2m from the stone wall that surrounds my base. The wall is only 2m high and the wall of the coop has an iron grate so I can easily see the chickens.

The troll just stood there and stared at it, like he had never seen a chicken before. Didn't take a swing, he just stared.

[odd helm]

The troll could not comprehend the existence of something so smol

[half dragon]

If only loxes could comprehend the existence of fences. They cannot be contained.

when I had a lox pen at my base, they escaped twice and made multiple other attempts... such as destroying the workbench buried under their pen, which caused fuling to spawn inside their fence and then they went wild destroying fence all over the place, leaving very little intact

[wide zenith]

Raise ground

[half dragon]

looks ugly AF... not putting that in my base

[frigid gust]

Doesn't look too bad as long as you align it to the world cardinal directions. You can encase it with stone walls to make it look better 😉

[half dragon]

either way, not too hard to just hunt loxes for food, screw taming them...

[azure yacht]

What I would really love to know is why animals immediately change their behaviour the second they detect they're surrounded by walls or similar

They could be wandering around on the same spot but the moment you close them down they start to gather in the corners

[hidden gorge]

a bug/issue with the pathing ai

[half dragon]

which results them in climbing on top of each other, then falling and damaging whatever they were near

[hidden gorge]

they can -- my most successful lox pen is a repurposed copper mine in the black forest. surround the pit with walls, so enemies can't see in/generate aggro and they've managed to stay put, with 5-6 in there concurrently

[tepid turret]

if i challenge bonemass again will i get wishbone?? accidentally lost my wishbone :((

[half dragon]

yea

[tepid turret]

ty!

[wintry panther]

do I need a cauldron to make stew?

[pliant hatch]

yes

[wintry panther]

above a fire?

[pliant hatch]

aye

A burning campfire to be precise.

[oak cloud]

A hearth work well too

[rich yew]

was there a change in how to enter devcommands / debugmode since update to ptb? mine wont work and im wondering if i am doing something wrong

[hidden gorge]

you need -console enabled in your launch options

(not really a change, but maybe easily overlooked)

[prisma flame]

Hey, is it possible to put mods in valheim while on an Xbox server? Just curious.

[rich yew]

thanks, i THINK that is still up, but maybe it dropped during the update

[full heath]

Hello, what is the problem with my game? I was thinking, it was only for Ashland,s but in regular Valheim same issue, cant make new character, cant join my worlds, cant do anything
Also put picture in Public test feedback, how its loooks like, everything is super far from me

[rich yew]

yes -console is still enabled i can bring up the F5 menu but im getting errors when i try devcommands or debugmode

[pliant hatch]

Did you actually type "Devcommands" without brackets, then hit [enter]; type "debugmode" again without brackets and hit [enter] again to activate both?

[hidden gorge]

what are the errors?

[rich yew]

im going to try again for a screenshot

[nova sphinx]

anyone happen to know the id for grass? (cultivator thing)

according to wiki its "replant" but it doesn't work as expected

[nova sphinx]

??? TypeLoadException... I've never seen that before

[rich yew]

im confuzzled

[hidden gorge]

have you ever used mods?

verifying integrity of gamefiles is prolly also not a bad idea

[rich yew]

i do have a bag mod i think...

Nope,is on test mode for players

[pliant hatch]

Not yet. It's in PTB right now

[merry pebble]

in ptb, will still be a while until its on live branch

[coarse kernel]

how can i get into the public test

[merry pebble]

if you want to ask about ashlands there are people testing it right now at #valheim-public-test 😄

[hybrid orbit]

ty

[pliant hatch]

The channel or the game's test?

[coarse kernel]

the game test

[merry pebble]

i believe its pinned in the channel actually 😄

[pliant hatch]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970

The top news item shows how.

[vagrant bobcat]

Do bosses health and/or damage scale based on the number of players present?

[merry pebble]

yep 😄

[vagrant bobcat]

so if one person spawns the boss, and then others come through a portal after it spawns does it auto scale up, or is it still scaled for one player?

[merry pebble]

i believe its based purely on how many players are in the same area while fighting monster, shouldnt matter if they were all there when creature spawned

[vague heart]

Yo Guys i got a question with the beta test so i joined my world in the beta and now i cant join without the beta (it says bad version) at least its not my main world but im wondering if theres a way i can you know join without the beta and yes i made backups if those backup files help

[halcyon blade]

Because worlds are naturally not backward compatible. You're going back to an older version that doesn't have the code to support content from the newer version. And yes, you would need to utilize the backups you made (not sure where to go to access/use backups for valheim so best to wait for someone else to answer that part).

[vague heart]

Managed to restore the backup or something like that i have everything back

thank you

[hollow root]

Random thought I was having today while playing:

Trolls are weak to headshots, which you can't typically hit unless you use bows and range from weak to VERY weak to pierce. The armor you make from their hide is bright blue.
Abominations drop roots, which you can use to make a tree-like armor set. They are also VERY resistant to pierce. The set is kind of similar to ghillie suits in essence.

Why is Troll armor (bright blue) the Stealth armor, and Root armor (ghillie) the Bow armor?

[nocturne wolf]

Trolls are blue and drop materials for stealth armor, so it makes sense for that armor to be blue too.

Save applies for abominations being made of roots and dropping bow armor materials

[hollow root]

Blue is not a stealthy color

I get that they are blue so the armor made from them is blue, it was just a shower thought about those two sets having contrasting traits.

[hidden gorge]

for midgard maybe, but we're in valheim

[vocal rivet]

There are more senses than one.

[hollow root]

In the deep ocean, the red wavelength of light is the first to fade out. That's why many deep fish are red, to blend in. You may have a point. Blue wavelength gives out first in Valheim, confirmed.

[vocal rivet]

That's like saying stealth fighters are useless because they can be seen with the naked eye.

[visual tapir]

when is it worth it to swap over from root

cause i wanna swap out the helmet and pants

[hidden gorge]

do it

[visual tapir]

idk if its worth it

[nocturne wolf]

I make full silver but keep the harnesk in my inventory for when I need it

[visual tapir]

i use my bow alot

[visual tapir]

what bosses do pierce

[paper marsh]

bow OP

[hidden gorge]

you'll never know until you try it

[paper marsh]

It's mainly good for Swamp Plains and Mistlands enemies, but Moder does a bit of pierce, Queen does a bit of pierce, Elder does a ton of pierce

[visual tapir]

elder?

[pliant hatch]

Geezzzz, those fulling beserkers hit hard.

I forgot how hard.

[paper marsh]

2nd boss, tree guy

[visual tapir]

o lol

[nocturne wolf]

Only the Queen uses a significant amount after swamp, but many mistlands and ranged enemies do pierce.

[visual tapir]

im in plains now so its either padded helmet+leggings and root harnesk

or full root cause i use my bow alot

[hollow root]

It will save you countless times from plains enemies especially

[visual tapir]

i dont have any problems though

[nocturne wolf]

Just be careful near fire attacks

[visual tapir]

shaman fireball is basically it

[nocturne wolf]

And torch fulings

[visual tapir]

but i kill him in like 1 shot with my bow

torch fulings get smoked by my black metal atgeir

[hollow root]

Do the root harnesk + fire resistance potion cancel out and you take normal burn damage, or does one win out over the other?

[paper marsh]

tbh all the most dangerous/common enemies imo in swamp, plains, and mistlands are pierce damage

[visual tapir]

does plains boss do pierce mainly

[nocturne wolf]

Barley wine overrides fire weakness

[hollow root]

Oh, sweet. So you can get best of both worlds? Pierce res and fire res?

[paper marsh]

fire resist wins out over root harnesk, more than it should. Fire resist with root harnesk is the same amount of resist as fire resist without root harnesk

[nocturne wolf]

Yagluth mostly does fire damage, bring barley wine

[amber bough]

does anyone know whats going on?? ive tried to load valheim 5 times on two seppearte days. i can get into the lobby just fine but when i select a world to play the game crashes whilst its loading. How can i fix it??

[oblique ember]

Hi, i just bought valheim and i literally have no idea what to do in this game, im just wandering around lol can someone explain

[visual tapir]

so padded

[pliant hatch]

You happen to be in the PTB and using mods?

[nocturne wolf]

Early on your priorities should be building a house and hunting animals for better weapons and a shield.

Destroy any bee nests you find

[outer elk]

Hello, does devs said something about ashlands going live date? Or can you tell me how much time there was between public test mistlands and official release

[radiant monolith]

:))

[oblique ember]

ty

[pliant hatch]

Only thing we know is that it won't be delayed and that it's coming in the first half of 2024.
Meaning any day between Monday and June 30th, 23:59:59

[oblique ember]

can u check dm

[outer elk]

Hope its gonna be on may. Public tests are usually 3 weeks or am i wrong? I know there are differences between updates but trying to get a closer point

[nocturne wolf]

If you want the update to come sooner you can always join the testing

[wintry panther]

does it really matter where I build my next base tho as long as its by water? Ill just use portals to move around anyways

[pliant hatch]

IMHO it does; but that's more because of the defences.

[wintry panther]

I mean like yeah in a safe place but, near biomes wise dont matter?

[pliant hatch]

And some biomes may be more suitable for base construction than others

[wintry panther]

Im thinking meadows until I get to the plains

I want to try and make a treehouse

[frigid blaze]

core trees are your best bet there

[wintry panther]

idk If I want a base in black forest

[frigid blaze]

they cant be planted in most biomes

CAN

[toxic hemlock]

Dude! I’d say have fun! Your lucky.. I got 2k hours in this game and would love to experience again for the first time.

1. Explore, pick up everything, unlock recipes, read the glowing stones for lore, use the bird for the tips

[visual tapir]

whats the ghost guy

[green fulcrum]

can i use mods in multiplayer?

[visual tapir]

i keep seeing like the grim reaper but when i get close to him he vaporizes

[frigid blaze]

yes but the server owner and other players have to have the same mods

[toxic hemlock]

That’s Odin you can also see him riding the chariot in the sky during a lightning storm

[oblique ember]

ty

[pliant radish]

WHAT OMG NOW I HAVE TO LOOK FOR THIS

[frigid blaze]

not yet

[merry pebble]

riding across the sky is Thor, and you can only see him after you beat 4th boss iirc

[green fulcrum]

Like, all mods? I just want to use some light mods to make my game brighter. i cant see shit in ashlands during night 🤣

[toxic hemlock]

lol oops

[wintry panther]

I found a nice spot for a base at the water but there are necks here, will they keep spawning here?

[toxic hemlock]

You can use a reshade and it doesn’t count as a mod on a server. I have been using the same one since the first week.

https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/10

[brazen bobcat]

Dyk, if you get on top of the obliterator, and have someone pull it while you're up there, it will electrically charge your weapons and armor, making you super stronk? Just found that out by chance 💪

[merry pebble]

not if you spawn proof it 😄

[merry pebble]

no?

[wintry panther]

how

[pliant hatch]

@wintry panther

If you want a safe location for a main or temporary base, look for an island in either the meadows or black forest.
Raise the ground up to about 8 meters above water level, then build your house and a palisade (stake) wall.
Set up one or two piers going into the water at about 2 meters up, so you can easily jump in / out of your boat.
Make sure you got enough room for your crafting stations, kiln and smelter.

Later, when you've defeated bonemass, look for a Plains island closer to Yagluth and set up your permanent main base over there.
If you got a portal hub under the Elder altar, moving your items - except for metals - will be a piece of Lox pie.

[toxic hemlock]

Speaking of Ashlands…

Anyone hear how the test is going and rough eta for release?

[pliant radish]

Question, why build it near Yagluth? Its not like you'll be transporting metal from the boss

And why build a portal hub under the elder altar?

[wintry panther]

I was planing to make a base on pine trees do I have to raise the ground still?

[merry pebble]

placing player base structures in vicinity, i can dm you a full list of them (done by Mooey/Winter i believe) and it also has listed all structures that are attacked on sight 😄

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, but you can only talk about it in https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970

[toxic hemlock]

Ok, I’m afraid to jump over cause spoilers.. same with YouTube .. having to stay off

[pliant hatch]

Not when you build it at 10-12M height.
As long as you make sure not a single jumping monster can enter it. Nor flying ones.

[urban fulcrum]

I got 5 brutes in my base and keep getting one shot

[wintry panther]

there are so many necks here the base here wont work

[pliant radish]

They won't keep spawning there once you build stuff there

[pliant hatch]

Because last thing you want is to travel from your base halfway across the map to fight yagluth.
Or vice-versa.

And portal hub under the Elder altar means it's always safe, plus because of that fire you will always get a minor rested bonus.

[urban fulcrum]

I think I’m at 30 deaths rn

[wintry panther]

how close

[pliant radish]

But couldn't you just build a portal near yagluth?

[hidden gorge]

yes and no

depends on how close it is, really

[pliant hatch]

You can. But there's always the risk the fight will destroy it.
Won't be the first player having happening that to him / her.

Also:

Marssin is doing a first play through,
So in his case it's better to be safe than sorry.

[visual tapir]

is there a way to

get rid of the mist in the mistlands like is there an item

[merry pebble]

there are mist torches that clear away parts of it, but not the complete clouds, no

[round lichen]

Great content update would be more hildir quests but these chests allow her to sell you armor slots, quill, belt inventory, and maybe even a backpack. Inventory management is too cluttered in end game and it needs an overhaul

[pliant hatch]

I'd say,
Drop it in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612 and see if it's added or not.

[pliant radish]

wow tar is annoying to collect

[merry pebble]

is it? once you kill the growths you just dig a trench or raise the ground to expose the tar 😄

[pliant radish]

I mean its easy to collect but takes forever and I need so much of it

this large roof is killing me

[pliant hatch]

I feel your pain.
Only to build a couple of deviders already took close to 100 tar for me

[pliant radish]

Luckily I knew this day would come and so I always mark tar pits I find for later

[merry pebble]

ooooh, builder troubles, i dont have those 😄

[oblique ember]

can i put campfire inside my base?

[pliant hatch]

Yes, as long as you make sure it's at either the ground or a stone floor tile.

[merry pebble]

yes, but dont forget chimney or enough space above for smoke 😄

[oblique ember]

oh ok

someone else already told me that but i already forgot

[wintry panther]

should I use fire arrows or iron arrows

[pliant hatch]

For what?

[wintry panther]

idk swamp

[pliant hatch]

I'd say keep the fire arrows for fighting the abomination, use flint arrows to fight the rest and save the iron arrows for Mountain.
Don't craft iron arrows, as it's a waste of materials.

[wintry panther]

alright

[rancid gulch]

Any estimations when ashland hits live version?

[pliant hatch]

It may sound odd, but at some point you keep finding so many arrows, you won't even need to craft them yourself for a while.

[pliant hatch]

Somewhere between Monday and June 30th, 23:59:59.

Depending at how many bugs are found, how fast the devs can get rid of them and how many other tweaks are needed.

[urban fulcrum]

Why do greydwarfs, notoriously known for hating plants, live in a forest??

[pliant hatch]

To continue about the arrows:

In lots of huts and the small wooden towers, as well in some of the ruins in the Black Forest you will find chests having Flint arrows.
In the chests in Burial Chambers you will quite likely find Flint arrows and Bronzehead arrows or even Ironhead arrows.
In chests in Sunken Crypts you will find Ironhead arrows and Poison arrows.
In the mountains you will find chests with Poison, Frost and Silver arrows.

Plus, the better your bow skill and your bow become, the easier it gets to do lots of damage.
So as a result, the lower quality arrows will be almost as good as the ones from the biome you're in; making it easier not to use them, but work with your old ones first.
Over time the ones you usually craft are Fire arrows and perhaps wood arrows (to hunt birds) and that's it.

[pliant hatch]

I've always thought the Greydwarves try to protect the forest.

[visual tapir]

is there a mod to speed up plant growth

[urban fulcrum]

No they’ll ransack carrots, and they’re literally dead murderers wrapped in trees

So my game theory is that they just fucking HATE plants

[merry pebble]

you can ask in #mods-discussion 😄 folks there will be probably more knowlegable about mods

[visual tapir]

alr

[urban fulcrum]

If I had a nickel for every game that had one of the main enemies being a murderer’s soul trapped in some sort of unnatural body, trying to raid your little spot

I’d have like, 3 nickels I think?

[visual tapir]

i havent had too Many issues

only got attacked by a troll when i was in leather armor and lost a smelter but

my base has been pretty good otherwise

[pliant hatch]

If they'd hated plants, they would destroy the BF and Meadows as well.

They do dislike / hate anything related to the player faction; including their plants.
And their beehives.

While I've never seen a Greydwarf attack a "wild" hive, a dandelion or any mushroom, blueberry or even a simple shrub.

[visual tapir]

i mean they ARE plants

[foggy glacier]

Exactly. @urban fulcrum they don't hate carrots. They hate YOUR carrots. 🙂

[urban fulcrum]

If I was a soul resurrected, only to find out I was in a husk of tree, I’d be pissed too

Actually, how much of that is true do you reckon

[visual tapir]

if my aim was that bad i would be pretty mad too

entire career of hitting nothing with rocks

[urban fulcrum]

Or exaggerated by the Viking who carved it

[snow trellis]

kind of annoyed since i just found out you cant keep decorative plants or saplings of pretty much any kind. had a large area of saplings set so they would be babies forever. they all disappeared. same with flax and mushrooms and barley

[foggy glacier]

maybe they're dead stormtroopers?

[urban fulcrum]

Supposedly Lox exist outside of Valheim, somehow Haldor snuck in recently(ish), are greydwarfs out there in the other realms

[pliant hatch]

Not everything grows in the meadows biome.
Some items grow only in their own biome or the ones above.

Like carrots and turnip will grow in the plains, but - as you already found out - barley and flax won't grow in meadows or BF.

[snow trellis]

thats not my issue

[pliant hatch]

And tree seeds will simply become trees.
No saplings in this game, unless you use mods.

[snow trellis]

my issue is i intentionally have them there as babies and they self delete

youre not listening.

[pliant radish]

That happens when they fail to grow I think

[visual ermine]

does anyone have problems with starting a new game? my game is crashing everytime i click to make a new world, not using mods and in the pbt

[pliant radish]

If you place them too closely it will happen from my own experience

[snow trellis]

really discouraging decoration and creativity as always i see. i cant even pretend to have a mini garden bed. cant put carrots on vertical item stands either

once again problem isnt them growing up. i want them to stay small and i manage that by covering them. issue is they just self delete after a while

[urban fulcrum]

Yeah the devs here REALLY hate decorative plants

[snow trellis]

sad

[pliant hatch]

If you want that, you might consider playing Force of Nature 2 instead.
That game does have decorative plants.

[snow trellis]

welp now i have a decorative nursery without any of the 40 trees i just placed

[pliant hatch]

And a somewhat similar idea as Valheim does.

[snow trellis]

my issue mostly the whole decor in general

why make a game you can build stuff in if you cant really build stuff in it

aside from giant ugly wooden longhouses that everyone thinks theyre "the shit" for making and posting online

[urban fulcrum]

If you’re on PC, the mod plant stuff, or plant everything or whatever should work with the beta

It lets you plant biome bushes, small trees, etc etc

It also lets you plant berries if that’s what you’re into

[snow trellis]

imagine if campfire exploded if they got smoked too long, or if animals died if you didnt feed them, or grass died if you didnt fertilize it.

[urban fulcrum]

But berries take like, 3 hours to grow

[lunar sapphire]

This is heading towards a discussion for the #mods-discussion channel

[snow trellis]

dont look at me

[urban fulcrum]

Idk about little trees, but big trees can grow and not die

[snow trellis]

i feel like theres a lot of nitpicking here. someone posts an image that otherwise no one wouldve noticed had a single ashlands item in it, and everyone replies "ASHLANDS SPOILER IN HERE, pls delete post!" to show everyone

or someone brings up a single mod in no more than 1 message and someone tells them to move it elsewhere

[lunar sapphire]

Ashland content needs to stay in the correct public testing channel as not everyone has/wants the testing role / nor wants to see new content until full release

[urban fulcrum]

Bonus points, I like the people who spoiler tag stuff in the valheim Ashlands spoilers channel

[snow trellis]

point being (which no one noticed somehow) that no one wouldve noticed it except the people actively looking for it, so they can point it out and feel good about themselves, resulting in more people knowing about it than they would have had it otherwise not been pointed out

[lunar sapphire]

Yorges...

[cold yarrow]

Roger that, copy that, 10-4, loud and clear, lima charlie, understood

[snow trellis]

potato

[dense steppe]

[oblique ember]

I built bed but then it needed roof, i gave it a roof, now it needs a nearby fire but how can there be nearby fire if theres a roof

[snow trellis]

bad game design

[dense steppe]

Put it behind a wall on the street

[pliant hatch]

By making sure the area above the fire is high enough to get rid of the smoke, but still has a roof over it to ensure it wouldn't go out by the rain.

Usually 3 pieces of the 2m wooden wall on top of eachother with a roof ridge over that will be enough.
That way you can build a 2x2m chimnee.

[merry pebble]

jusst build it outside 😄 or make a chimney, it can be few meters away even behind a wall

[tepid prawn]

Yeah it’s a good thing if done when reasonable. I wouldn’t spoiler something like “there are greydwarves in the Black Forest” but crypts maybe (to give an example)

[tepid prawn]

Building chimneys and fireplaces is one of the great things of Valheim

[merry pebble]

i usually dont do it since my roofs are high 😛

[scenic flicker]

I have a gripe about how the striking of a weapon changes ur whole characters position to the angle of the camera. This severely limits my game play and makes it seem like a elementary children's game. I wish this would get changed back or if not then change how many skill points get deducted after death.

who's with me

[merry pebble]

i believe you can post this also to #suggestions 😄 and you will also see there how people vote

[halcyon blade]

It's a repeat suggestion, no point to.

[tepid prawn]

Isn’t there a setting for this with attack direction or am i thinking of something different

[scenic flicker]

if so which tab?

I don't see it

[lunar sapphire]

Not sure if that's a ptb only feature at the moment though

[scenic flicker]

I def don't have that option

[foggy glacier]

might be. I don't see it in my settings either

[lunar sapphire]

ah yep. seems to ptb only for now

[scenic flicker]

as long as it is being addressed i'm happy

[tepid prawn]

Is it a controller thing? I’m on PC so don’t quite understand it

I should try Valheim and with a controller sometime actually might be a cool new experience

[scenic flicker]

yes its a controller issue. I also am on PC but switched to controller after wrist problems

[silk bough]

Wait so is Ashland’s out yet?

[lunar sapphire]

Public test version atm

[tepid prawn]

Only on public test branch

[urban fulcrum]

Oh my god, controller controls are horrifying

[scenic flicker]

it took a sec to get used to but now its pretty cool. takes a sec to switch weapons and has gotten me killed quite a few times but the direstional thing helps

[velvet relic]

damn, was hoping it was on live already, it says valheim ashlands on the live version on steam

[urban fulcrum]

Swap gear with dpad, equip weapons with dpad UP??? You can’t menu while moving?????

[lunar sapphire]

Sounds like you've got the public test beta branch already without having access to the testing channel here

[scenic flicker]

i do this but still a struggle while running

[merry pebble]

i think everyone has the ashlands screen there, someone already mentioned it earlier

[lunar sapphire]

ah

interessting

[urban fulcrum]

Yeah, and the background of valheim is set to an Ashlands background

[merry pebble]

thats what i meant, yes

[urban fulcrum]

Nono I meant the steam banner

You meant on the main menu

[merry pebble]

no i meant the steam, but yes, main menu as well

[urban fulcrum]

Oh, well still

[tepid prawn]

Wonder if steam did mean to do that or not, I don’t want to test it because it means rolling back to live

[knotty knoll]

Hey guys I have a question, I am thinking about starting a new world in the public test, but am concerned when the next update is officially released I'll have to start a new game again. Does anyone know if this would be the case? Thanks!

[tepid prawn]

Usually you don’t have to it transfers over to live once it releases, but if some very unforeseen bad bug happens this could still be possible, PTB is testing and has bugs

[turbid pollen]

I still haven't explored Ashlands in my current world, let alone Mistlands; will it generate properly once the update goes live?

[vocal rivet]

If you've not explored it, yes.

[glass parrot]

How many more biome updates is Valheim going to get? Do we know?

[wintry panther]

9-17

[glass parrot]

That’s awesome

[wintry panther]

I lied😢

[glass parrot]

Damn it I believed you

I’m so gullible

[vocal rivet]

Why?

[wintry panther]

what why

[vocal rivet]

Why be like that?

[wintry panther]

Im a fun guy

[plush umbra]

You can kill a stone golem with a iron mace?

[craggy tangle]

once the ashlands are done and out the next step is to do the deep north. and that should have the climax for the game.

I.E. the ending

[vocal rivet]

Well, it might, we don't know that yet.

[glass parrot]

Okay thank you.

[craggy tangle]

i think they will do the minecraft thing... fight a boss, roll some credits, drop you back into the game free to do as you plz

kinda a simple way to end a sandbox style game like valheim

[drowsy magnet]

in the end, nothing else matters

[visual tapir]

how many campfires to hatch an egg

[craggy tangle]

one

the egg just needs to be in range for a short time

the egg will say too cold, after a moment it will change to warm. after sevral mins it will hatch

[knotty schooner]

egg?

[craggy tangle]

yep

after you beat the plains boss the shop keep will sell them. or you can find them in the plains towers.

[knotty schooner]

oh that makes sense.

im on the plains boss rn 😭

[craggy tangle]

nice. bring fire potions and healing

[knotty schooner]

seems easy enough

[craggy tangle]

he a tough boy but as long as you keep your wits hes not too bad

[knotty schooner]

i'm sure i'll do just fine 💪

[paper marsh]

I believe in you

[knotty schooner]

Sadly i haven't even found his alter location yet

[paper marsh]

It's pretty big so you might be able to spot it in the open plains. The vegvisirs (red marker stones) for it are kinda rare tho

[urban compass]

whats the best way to drain a tar pit?

[pliant radish]

Dig straight down on the edge of the tar pit, far enough away that tar won't drain in yet, until you're about as deep as the tar pit is, then dig that tunnel away from the tar pit. Dig if possible in a direction that will allow it to drain, if not then expand it until its large enough to hold all the tar in the original pit.
When you're finished digging the tunnel dig out the bit between the tunnel and the tar pit

@urban compass

I personally haven't found a faster way yet

[urban compass]

tysm

[pliant radish]

I just found a swamp crypt with TWO muddy scrap piles and only the main room + a staircase, nothing else

[paper marsh]

think my worst crypt luck was walking into a crypt on very hard hardcore no bows, and having a body pile that spawned a total of 4 enemies, 3 of them having TWO STARS

[obtuse granite]

hey fellas is there any other way to get the dragur extractors without the guys getting angry and killing you straight away?

[frigid blaze]

if the extractor is on the first floor you can use a cart to destroy them without alerting the dvergr's. otherwise i try to distract them by luring a gjall to their base.

[forest spire]

Quick question: First time setting up a live server, running 24/7. It is running with no issues, but if I leave it on overnight, with nobody playing, will enemies continue to spawn with the day/night cycle?

[strange arrow]

throw pufferfish on the floor

[forest spire]

IE: Will I play tomorrow and suddenly be on day 80 and have a Troll at my door? lmao

[marble delta]

I’ve run several for months at a time since launch and was never an issue.
You can get screwed if someone spawns a raid near a town you’ve built and then logs though.

[forest spire]

Gotcha. If the server is kept online with nobody playing, will the day/night cycle continue though?

Because as I understand I think the enemies get harder as the nights go on. I'm relatively new at this

[marble delta]

Difficulty climbs with each boss kill iirc

[forest spire]

Oh okay gotcha I did not know that

I was more or less worried about leaving my server running overnight because my homies who play in Eastern Europe can wake up tomorrow (when it's 4am for me but morning for them) and they can play without me having to wake up to turn on the server

[marble delta]

Don’t believe it scales with the day/night cycle…but I just came back after a year away, so maybe that changed?

[forest spire]

I thought on certain nights there were guaranteed raids that would spawn in, regardless of if a player is online. I could totally be wrong. I was more or less asking because one of my friends was afraid and asked me to turn the server off before I went to bed

[tepid prawn]

raids do not trigger if 0 players are online

[forest spire]

[forest spire]

thank you 🙂

[tepid prawn]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events It gets started at a players location, no players online, no location to start at!

Does anyone know which light source is best to light up the signs / writing? I love to put signs on all my chests and want it to be readable during dark foggy nights 🙂

[olive cloak]

do they ever plan on adding like, locational attacking? like being able to look up and hit something above you i mean

no, right?

[forest spire]

Does that mean no enemies will spawn at all to attack player structures? We were mostly worried about our camp in the black forest. I am glad no raids will occur but was still concerned about the random brute spawning in to smack my build lol

[tepid prawn]

the area will not be "loaded" if no one is online

[fleet ingot]

everyday ashlands does not go live is another day i cry myself to sleep

[tepid prawn]

you could play PTB like me if you want to, after 2 extra patches the bugs have gone down a lot

[forest spire]

Understood. Thank you for clearing this up. somehow i couldnt find anything on the internet

[tepid prawn]

All good Quark I m just a 1600h newb ^^

its very fun on a server

[obtuse granite]

ive beaten this game multiple times but this run ashlands is kicking my ass

[fleet ingot]

I cant 😦 My friend only wants to play it when it does live

[tepid prawn]

especially if all the people agree on world modifiers

[obtuse granite]

you need to get a new friend

[tepid prawn]

you could do it solo on PTB and then roll back char or use different char, use different worlds and rollback etc to make it work

[fleet ingot]

true. I will confine our friendship only to valheim because we played so many hours together. It will end with deep north

[forest spire]

I have a few small friend groups playing on 3 different time zones, so I'm interested to see how this will go. how quickly we will have roads to structures and a little community lol

[tepid prawn]

which tz? sounds cool, and what world modifiers you play on?

[forest spire]

i didnt make the world with any modifiers that I know of, but I have some friends in the Philippines that will try to connect, one buddy in Guam, a whole group in Poland who are setting up a "colony" in the black forest, and then two of my work buddies that I just got interested in the game.

[molten cave]

Comfysigns mod

[tepid prawn]

would like to know best sources unmodded, never been a mod guy sry

[molten cave]

Why not, especially if you have 1600hr playtime

I think it makes sense to play vanilla on your first playthrough but after that using mods for QoL stuff is definitely worth it for a game in early access

Because the game is missing stuff that can make it more fun to play

[tepid prawn]

because I just do new play throughs with different weapons etc, havent felt the need for a mod yet, happy to play vanilla

[molten cave]

Well it sounds like you might need one because i lit up my storage room and still couldn't see the signs text properly hahahaha

[tepid prawn]

I do understand some mods are quite cool like PlantEverything but I am just a boring non modded player haha

the bronze sconces are quite good for one thing

[molten cave]

I did put up sconces but they weren't enough

But if playing vanilla is what you prefer that's fine

I've been having way more fun playing modded though

[tepid prawn]

fair enough, everyone likes something different, I also dislike the mods breaking during updates just don't want to spend time on that rather play unmodded, just my personal opinion everyone should do what they prefer

[molten cave]

Fair enoughh

[tepid prawn]

This game is my favourite game of all time, its amazing. So happy devs made it happen.

[half dragon]

I tried surtling trophy but it's far from a great light source. There's more good light sources in mistlands I'm waiting for

[half dragon]

a temporary fix would be making the sign text white. When writing a sign just copy paste <#ffffff> then write the text. At least for me white text is visible at night, some other colors work too but not many of them, but black for sure is not one of them

[tepid pike]

i use yellow for my signs a lot .. <color=yellow> .. it is bright enough for me to read with my vision issues

[teal sparrow]

love the seed i was handed... the elder is in between the swamp, moutain, and the plains and forest... impossible lmao

get poisned by a blob, then get chased down by a wraith as soon as i get off the boat FML

just for a wolf to one tap me

[fallen zephyr]

Embrace your inner-explorer. There'll be other Elders.

[delicate marlin]

You could attach the light circlet to armor stands, and aim them towards the signs.

[lapis jackal]

Hello everybody
Does anyone know how to disable nomap command?

[pliant hatch]

Depending at how much process you've made,
How about the wisplight?

[half dragon]

considered using that for my warehouse but haven't tested yet due to still being in process of building stuff in plains... but if it emits blue light not sure I want that for my warehouse. I'll probably go with wall lanterns

[fallen zephyr]

For signs, I would say sconces early game, then hanging braziers, then lanterns.

[half dragon]

mistlands should be quite good source of copper right? currently would seem expensive to make lanterns but kind of expecting that to get easier due to new sources in mistland?

[tepid prawn]

its okay, not too bad, I might try that and also the circlet as I have enough money for a few I think

[fallen zephyr]

Ancient armour/weapons. Copper & iron

[tepid prawn]

I find dvergr lanterns not super bright, could be better

[tulip patrol]

whats an easy way to grind Black Marble. Just walking around the Mistland with a stone cutter demolishign buildings? or is there any easier way

[fallen zephyr]

They're awful. I assume that's because they don't require fuel, but I blow a raspberry at lanterns.

[tepid prawn]

whisplights are ok, the brazier doesnt work with current build not enough overhead space

I might try circlet never done this before

620 woah not cheap haha

this seems to be the solution, its very good brightness! got 1 circlet every 2m (4 total)

[half dragon]

eh... tested lantern in test world and it's bright enough for my purpose

[fallen zephyr]

I'm sold. Armour stands, or even item stands. 11/10, do recommend.

[half dragon]

idk about you guys but at least to me those lanterns look cozy at night. Even if need a bit more of them. 18 for this entire large warehouse should be enough

[errant gulch]

is there a way to tell the time in valheim?

[fallen zephyr]

I like the warm light too... it's just where I want to see labels.

[fallen zephyr]

Technically, you could build a sundial.

[errant gulch]

technically

[fallen zephyr]

Practically too.

[errant gulch]

oh

[half dragon]

at least in my test signs are plenty visible. for a row of 7 signs 2 lanterns was enough in my test (14m wide wall)

sucks that there's no gamma/brightness setting in the game

[turbid pollen]

Guys, what do you think a great base can contain? One single building, it could be a fortress or anything.

Currently I have a longhouse where I cook food and sleep, a storage house nearby, a standalone farm, and a portal hub.

[tulip patrol]

Honestly thats up to you. Ive seen a lot of cool looking bases that have 1 single building. and I've seen bases that have multiple buildings with a theme: Smithy's, Bakery's, Meadhall's etc...

[turbid pollen]

I get annoyed because mobs randomly attack my structures sometimes, this is more common for a village type base, that's why I'm thinking of building a fortress in the Plains biome. Unless of course I spend the time building walls to protect my little village.

#building-screenshots message

[tepid prawn]

You forgot the Armoury, the Bakery, the 3x Storage Longhouse Warehouses, the Trophy Museum, the Temple to Odin, the Fishing Hut, the Inn, the Blacksmith, the Villa (actual house to live in), the Lox Farm and the Henhouse (thats what I have in my main world + a beerhall)

oh and the Larder, forgot

[turbid pollen]

Do you build multiple bases through out your playthrough? It ranges from Starter (Meadows to Black Forest) -> Midgame (Swamp to Plains) -> Late game (Mistlands to Ashlands)

[tepid prawn]

its all on a raidproof island base, took me about 10 deaths to fully spawnproof it before I was properly ready for the plains (also got a strip of Mistlands and a strip of black forest and is not too far from the Deep North, the last biome to come out

[half dragon]

got proper docks/harbor area?

[tepid prawn]

Yes multiple, but what I usually do is: 1. Take over abandoned meadows house and farm there and live there until I kill Elder, then build swamp treehouse, then find an island base location and build island etc make that my main usually plains if I can, for a fast ish play through (when going slow I usually build one base in every biome)

[turbid pollen]

I wish I could build this many structures without the FPS penalty.

Once I build my gaming PC (RX 7900XTX + Ryzen 7 7800X3D) then sure, but right now I'd like a base that doesn't have too many instances.

[half dragon]

found really great Island. isolated enough to fully control it, but close enough to 3 different "continents" to connect it to the rest of the world. Going to need large ass bridge to connect it to 1 more "continent" though.

[tepid prawn]

I m running 3900X and a 2070S

running ok

[turbid pollen]

Right now I'm using a laptop with GTX 1650 and Ryzen 7 so it doesn't run Valheim that well when in my base (25~50 FPS).

[tepid prawn]

mine is 80-90 atm

think the gpu is more important thn cpu on Valheim, just what it feels like to me haven't researched that or anything

[solemn stone]

Did they increase black core drops? I seem to find like 5 per infested mines now

[idle storm]

Im running a ryzen 7 with an old rx580 and get consistent 60 fps unless in a very large base

[warm sandal]

I tend to do two ... one in the forest preferably on an Island and one in the plains near some mistlands... ashlands I don't know about and will see when I get there 😄

also...right now getting a little tired of swamp.. shall soon kill bonemass and go mountaineering 😄

[half dragon]

I think 1 solution is building a bit larger multi purpose buildings rather than many smaller ones. The Inn I'm building has mead cellar, multiple rooms because it's Inn obviously, a large kitchen for do all the cooking and 3rd floor will be used for some portals to connect it, some chests for storing all the loot from my adventures (a portal connected to warehouse so I can easily move it all there later), it will also double as the trophy room and display other thing ect.

oh and a room for slaughtering chicken... it has a fireplace to warm up the eggs

[delicate marlin]

I prefer smaller unique buildings with purpose for our server environment, keeps things smooth for the majority of players with differing PC specs.

[half dragon]

you'll just end up using far more building pieces when they're not in compact form tho

[delicate marlin]

Mega builds are fun but not impressive to me. Unless you can keep the instances low enough.

[half dragon]

if you've got many buildings have to keep them very spread out to reduce the load

[delicate marlin]

Not very, just manage the area well enough. Also I don't mind walking around it feels more organic.

[half dragon]

besides, don't have to put that many things to 1 building. Such as could easily have mead cellar and bakery in 1 building

[delicate marlin]

True true that's a legit option and the world is gigantic.

[floral wave]

my gpu died while playing valheim again the first time in ages tonight lol

[tepid prawn]

thats sad I hope you have a replacement so you can keep playin

[floral wave]

nah but will work on getting a cheap one tomorrow hopefully! gotta have one ready for the ashlands release

[heady parcel]

I like using a basement for storage and then have a dedicated wing for crafting and then a central kitchen with the living quarters on the floor above to make it easier to keep all comfort pieces in range of each other. Actual design varies with playthrough, I try to not repeat myself 😄

[prisma relic]

hey guys, If the host loses the world file, can the world be retrieved from the files of someone who has joined the world?

Afraid not. All you have is your character.

[slow moth]

Hello friends ❤️ I have been playing Valheim for under a month now and I am looking for a busy and open community server that I can join so that my 2 friends and I could have a less of an empty world experience. Especially when we are playing alone

[wanton flicker]

Hello friends. I would also like to join a multi player public server. Im tired off playing alone. Im playing Valheim for almost half a year.

[unkempt tendon]

you both should check out #1024264966712340510

[slow moth]

Ah thank you! I was scrolling for a channel like that and I must have missed it

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-sticker-thanks-sticker-line-sticker-rabbit-sticker-bunny-sticker-gif-26476684

[obsidian trellis]

hey, is it possible to play the ashlands update currently or no?

is there something i need to change in steam properties or etc

[unkempt tendon]

you can play the test version, go into id:customize and select the public tester role to unlock those channels

[fair cairn]

wellp he beat me to it, do what Wallie said

[obsidian trellis]

is there a guide to how to get it? i cant find it.

[unkempt tendon]

#valheim-public-test

i can help you in there

[azure yacht]

Click that link

[obsidian trellis]

thanks a lot

[safe hinge]

Hi everyone, are the Ashlands still being publically tested?

[unkempt tendon]

yup

[meager fossil]

Osaka has spoken

[unkempt tendon]

indubitably

[oblique ember]

can someone check #valheim-help

[tender sphinx]

when do yall think ashlands update come out?

[ornate sentinel]

I try not to think about it.

[unkempt tendon]

their deadline is the end of june

[tender sphinx]

is it risky for your own server to get glitchy if u use ashlands update in that server

because i wanna do it because i just killed the queen today

[unkempt tendon]

not if you make a backup before doing it

[tender sphinx]

if i only have one server should i do it?

[unkempt tendon]

check the pins in #valheim-help to see how to backup your character and world

[shadow remnant]

Are slimes weak to spirit damage?

[unkempt tendon]

no, just :
Blunt, Frost and Lightning

[paper marsh]

They take normal damage from it

All undead do

[shadow remnant]

Ah ok.

[nocturne wolf]

Ghosts and wraiths are undead and weak to it. Bats are weak to it too.

[shadow remnant]

Werewolfs are also weak.

[nocturne wolf]

No, they’re neutral

[merry pebble]

yeah, fenrings are only weak to fire

[shadow remnant]

Right.

[frigid gust]

Pretty sure they're weak to poison

[merry pebble]

resistant* 😉

[fallen zephyr]

Just check the Wiki... so much faster and more reliable than the channels.

[frigid gust]

Ahhh. The ulvs and cultists are. That's weird.

[fallen zephyr]

Nobody knows anything here. We all just check the Wiki and report back to seem knowledgeable.

[merry pebble]

exactly 😂

[tidal thicket]

Is it possible to join the current PTB on Xbox cloud gaming?

[smoky quarry]

i like to have my bacon cage free, open sky grown.

[pliant hatch]

You can do that, but expect them to be gone if you do that at your main base.

One solution would be to have an animal pen outside your main base area. Far enough away if it to make sure any raid monster won't be attrackted to them.

[smoky quarry]

they are at the main base, nicely free behind a small wall so no wandering.

albeit away enoujgh to dodge raids, like a peninsula

[pliant hatch]

Have you been to the mountains yet?

[smoky quarry]

ofc

the bats? no problem

i got so many braziers around, they kill themselves

[frigid gust]

I believe so. Instructions should be in #valheim-public-test

[tidal thicket]

Thanks, I just joined the channel so I can see that now

[frigid gust]

Just make sure you make backups or only play on worlds you're willing to ruin. There are still a fair few bugs out in it.

[smoky quarry]

share some really funny bugs?

[tidal thicket]

Oh we always start a new world for big updates. Day 26 so far 👍

[frigid gust]

From the PTB? We don't allow spoilers in the main channels until it's fully released, you can see the chatter in the test channels though

But you will have content spoiled there

[smoky quarry]

yep, can`t have that. I yearn for the surprise

[half dragon]

deathsquitos are very funny. So funny I wish they all burn in Ashlands

[fallen zephyr]

I once asked a centipede friend of mine to help me out with a really urgent issue. His response was to tell me he'd be right over, but he had to put his shoes on first.

[warm sandal]

that would be thee response you'll get from me... i never wear shoes around the house 😄

[warm rover]

if i completely remove the ground from bellow a surtr spawn will they still spawn?

[chilly forge]

wondering why all my mist torches were destroyed, something got altered with the terrain in ptb

[half dragon]

if you mean digging the ground under the water level, yes they still spawn and will die quickly because of the water

[candid spear]

Were do i go if i want to join a valeheim server?

I assume they're asking for the devcommands to cheat their way to the portal mats.

[pliant hatch]

Those are the resources, not the commands (s)he asked for.

[shrewd compass]

thx bro

[hearty niche]

I know. I'm not a fan of giving people answers like that and them treating people here like a search engine. They could just as easily type those things into the Google search box. Access to Discord indicates they have access to the accumulated knowledge of mankind like the rest of us and if they're gonna treat people like a search engine, I'm gonna discourage that by being a bad search engine.

[shrewd compass]

I need items to do this on a server that is not mine

[frigid gust]

You can't. You can collect the materials on a single player world and the take them to a server, but you can't run commands on a server like that

[fallen zephyr]

Go farm them. Nothing you need is unavailable in Meadows or Black Forest.

[pliant hatch]

In that case, serverhopping is the easiest solution.

create your own server with devcommands and debugmode available, spawn the items, leave your own server, enter the MP server and build the portal.
It's that easy.

And FYI; there's information about how everything works including the item ID's available at the wiki.

If my wooden stuff is on the rain will it break fully after awhile or just be on the lowest durability?

[unkempt tendon]

it will stay low dura, not break

[wintry panther]

alright thanks

[ember panther]

Man I hate dying to fall damage. Had 100 hp and instaded

[fair cairn]

dont you need more than 100 HP to survive a fall?

[still crow]

Yup, 101 would've totally saved their bacon. Unless if they bounced off a bunch of rocks on the way down.

[analog robin]

Hello! Quick question, I played this game when it launched and I remember that using the Hoe tool to level the ground ended causing some lag after continuous use, was that fixed (or partially) ? it was something about instances but I don't remember a lot of the technical side to be honest

[ember panther]

Yeah, just unlucky food diminished to 100 💀

[fair cairn]

its not "fixed" but its been improved quite a bit though having too many new instances will still lag the game

[hearty niche]

Ole Meitbual is pretty much an alcoholic now. He was hitting the tasty and stamina mead pretty hard in the Mistlands but now he's drinking barley wine right when he wakes up and as soon as the lingering stamina mead wears off he pounds another.

And when things get really stressful he hits the really hard stuff, Major Stamina Mead is pretty much just 180proof booze that makes it so you don't feel pain

[analog robin]

I see, thank you! Will try to avoid heavy terraforming to avoid lag issues but at least will not be afraid to use it for small stuff

[pliant hatch]

@wintry panther It's not how I would've done things, but I'm happy to see you're doing the best you can.
And small tip: perhaps it's better to put your screenshots in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 next time? 😉

[wintry panther]

eh I needed help with it so yeah

[pliant hatch]

I assume the reason you needed help is solved?
Because I'm not particular familiar with tree houses.

[wintry panther]

its kind of tough to deal with stability

I made a wooden pole under the house because 3 trees werent enough

[pliant hatch]

Have you created a grid between those houses first?

[wintry panther]

houses?

[pliant hatch]

Sorry, trees.

[wintry panther]

a grid?

[rare birch]

What is this #screenshots

[wintry panther]

im making sort of a grid but ill see

[pliant hatch]

If you did, use the 26° or 45° Log beam to support that grid by connecting them to the grid and the tree.
That way you will get a stronger foundation.
I think using the log beams may get you a stronger grid as well, but I'll leave it up to you to use that or not.
Once you got the grid done, put the wooden floor tile on top and expand from there.

Another option: raise a pillar of dirt up to the height you want your house to be, create a connection between it and the trees by forming a grid - again with those diagonal log beams for extra support - and start working your floor from that point on.
The advantage of that; better foundation, thus strength, for your house floor and you will need something to put a campfire on, as you can't do that on a wooden floor.
So with a dirt pilar you basically create a 4th point to hold your house.

[pliant hatch]

If you're in an infested mine, that's part of the item needed to get to the Mistland boss.

[rare birch]

got it. I had to smash it

[upper kiln]

can someone give me the ip/port of server neck's Pond ?

[pliant hatch]

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

[upper kiln]

where can i found the ip/port for Neck's Pond?

[pliant hatch]

I just pointed you to the channel where you can find it.
So take a look there or use the search function at the top right of your screen to find that server.

[west elm]

Anyone else having issues with ashlands biome? It is so laggy I can't even move

[warm sandal]

and there it goes again sigh

[hidden gorge]

no, but a better place to put it #ashlands-feedback-only

[pliant hatch]

At least you weren't pinged to reply to a question you just replied to 4 minutes earlier.

[upper kiln]

i can't find it can you help me little more?

🥹

[warm sandal]

I wish I had your patience...

[pliant hatch]

If you only knew.

Worry, it gets worse

[warm sandal]

It has been getting worse the last 20 years 😄

reading went out of fashion... finding out things on ones own too 😄

[pliant hatch]

Have you used the search option in the top right corner of discord?

[warm sandal]

even using google has gone out of fashion

[pliant hatch]

Yeah. And to consider they didn't grow up with those 200+ page manuals.

[warm sandal]

the first game I ever bought came with a 35 page booklet explaining how the game worked and what were the controls 😄

[pliant hatch]

Damn, I miss those days.
Imagine Valheim having such a manual. 90% of the player base may be gone, because they couldn't find the item code of wood.......

The first game I ever played was still loaded from a cassette. 😄

[warm sandal]

well they can not find it in the tinerwebs either... but only because they are not looking... 😄

[warm sandal]

like in "datasette" oh I remember those... but i did not have a computer when my friends used those
