valheim-chat

[hot fern]

@plush umbra that does seem kinda sketch, i'm not sure what their standpoint is on that. Perhaps you could ask @dusky pivot specifically about that post you're referring to

[vocal rivet]

I fail to understand what IG have to do with anything.

[plush umbra]

Im asking if IG can ban players from advertising on this server for players to join their own dedicated servers where they verbally assualt and attack and slander people based on culture and race

[hot fern]

I think what he's saying is that there's a post in servers-and-lfg, and apparently when somebody joins them, they start slurring at anybody who joins. if that is the case, that's really an advertisement to be degraded, not for a valheim server, but none of us here actually know the real details of what he's talking about, so...

[vocal rivet]

Unless the post was in THIS Discord they can't do anything. Discord themselves might if it breaks TOS.

[plush umbra]

I have a video recording of the incident, I am asking if action can be taken to have people not adevrtise their server here if that is the experience to the general valheim community of players

[livid widget]

How come we can upgrade the robe table to 3, but not the black forge?

[hot fern]

@plush umbra i think the hard truth that you might have to accept is that, not every server community here cares about your personal views, and some of them just are how they are. you've learned what their community is, you don't like it: let that answer your question; stay away from their community and find a different one.

the mods here aren't going to follow DM/other server evidence and take any action in here, unless they've broken ToS in here.

[plush umbra]

so if they advertise on this discord to the general public and offer the players in the valheim community that experince they can contiune to do so while advertising here?

[hot fern]

you need mechanical springs from the artisan table for the "Vice" attachment of the black forge, for level 3

[pliant hatch]

You can upgrade both in Ashlands. Just need the right materials for it.

[hot fern]

yes, because not every player has your exact experience with them, others may play fine there.

after all, it's somebody's own run community / server, none of what goes on in there has anything to do with Valheim's moderation

unless, again, they've actually broken ToS in their post or in this discord.

[livid widget]

sneaky random upgrade on artisan table

[hot fern]

the upgrade materials come from the queen for that artisan table attachment, but for a level 3 black forge, you dont even need the ashlands level stuff

[plush umbra]

I do understand that but they are using this platform to invite people and then attack them and no action is taken against them from advertising further even though legally they have broken laws that can see them in prison or fined?

[hot fern]

there's the black forge cooler and the vice, gives you level 3

[vocal rivet]

Then take it up with Discord who actually have the powers to do something about it.

[plush umbra]

thank you will do that and report and record all conversations thank you

[livid widget]

Thanks

I no longer hate mistlands now that I have learned it. Still not a fan of being half blind, but at least it isn't insta death

[pliant hatch]

If you want the advertisement here to stop, contact the mods with the Modmail, put the link to your video in it, explain the situation and your request and hope for the best.

There's a chance the mods here may acknowledge your complaint and remove that server, but there's the same chance they think the issue isn't worth it and leave that advertisement here.

Still, since you already got a "no for an answer", it's worth a try as it can only get better if you do.

[plush umbra]

Thank you I will do that and elevate to discord support if needed

[thorny raft]

So Regular Wards Don't Affect Damage Dealt To Structures?

[azure yacht]

Nope

[void skiff]

yo

you free to play

any one free to play?

#1024264966712340510

[buoyant root]

If one were to open a new server, would you keep it vanilla so that you could have crossplay (more potential people) or would you make it modded potentially for a better experience, but less potential players?

[low warren]

it would be pretty cool if hitting E looted your corpse all the time instead of only sometimes and some of the stuff and other times unpredictably opening the UI or only looting some stuff and not stacking etc.

[vocal rivet]

It does? Thats what it's for.

[low warren]

you might think that yeah

[vocal rivet]

No, I know that, I've played the game.

[low warren]

as you know, there are a few cases where it doesn't

[sharp raptor]

It will only loot your stuff without opening inventory if you have enough inventory slots to take all of the items. I agree that it would be great if looting a corpse stacked items with similar items though

[mossy river]

It's not unpredictable. I don't like how it works at all, to be clear, but its quirks can be learned.

[slender rover]

Okay, do Valkyries and Morgen actually drop their trophies in the current version of the game, or am I just ridiculously unlucky

[mossy river]

Unlucky

[sharp raptor]

Just unlucky

[slender rover]

siiiigh

[sharp raptor]

Not sure their drop chance but I got a morgen one pretty early but didnt get my first valk one until recently after I had cleared most of the ashlands on my personal server. Some trophies like the stone golem just have a very low drop chance

[vocal rivet]

5% for each.

[slender rover]

Yeah I had to kill a lot of golems for that trophy, but I'm up to nearly 30 Valkyries and nothing

actually, just shy of 30 Morgen too

[vocal rivet]

It's a 1/20 chance, so nothing for 30 or so is not entirely witin the realms of believability.

[slender rover]

Yeah, statistical probability is just apparently not on my side for either of these critters

[low warren]

even if you have a fully empty inventory, you sometimes don't get the grace weight from the corpse run quickly enough and "can't" carry all your stuff so it opens the window without looting anything

[slender rover]

Yeah, I've run into this bug in Ashlands a couple times too

[vocal rivet]

That's not a bug, the weight buff only happens when you open the gravestone so it'll always have a slight delay.

[low warren]

that's not the case, usually you get the weight buff and are OK if your corpse was over 300 at the start

(it gives you grace time to put on the belt)

[drowsy citrus]

Queen room count as a dungeon?

[slender rover]

I've had it happen where it didn't apply at all unless you are able to completely empty the grave. Which is terrible if make it to the stone, pick everything up, and immediately get encumbered because one item was left

That caused a few deaths

[low warren]

you never get the buff unless you fully empty it yeah (exploitable, you can litter the ground with graves with 1 item to get the buff at will)

the lack of stacking and the inconsistent weight thing make it very frustrating. "hmm, did I die with over 300 weight units?? maybe i'll have a UI surprise!"

[merry sun]

yes

[merry sun]

got all Trophy in my wall, so you probably can get it too

[exotic pawn]

It is too hard to get enough iron, do you know the easiest way to get iron before Ashland?

[covert flower]

Does the mac version actually run lol

Will it overheat my mac 💀

[knotty ridge]

why tf does fishing suck so bad? its garbage. i thought i just needed to time it when reeling and yet i have 100+ stamina and it just drains like kratos pouring his life cap into the sword of ol' limpy

i want to get into enjoying this game not jsut for comabat but for a viking sim with fun building mechanics and yet it just sucks. the crappy stamina makes everything feel so taxing. getting form place to place forced on foot is a bore. and the combat is rather bland due to weapons having forced meta's from animation speeds. like i want to use axes but you swing one too slow and its jsut not effective to use an overhead which leaves you way too open.

this game makes me lose paitence way too fast and i just wanted to fish and farm. how do you fuck that up

[tight yacht]

i agree with the fishing part at least, the rest idk

[knotty ridge]

well the fishing is atleast a real problem. i could ignore the weapon weirdness but its jsut

idk what the devs want to do but they aint doing what im wanting in this game

[tight yacht]

i never had complaints about wea[pons, i thought the combat for normal difficulty was pretty well handled

higher difficulties are kinda garbo tho

[knotty ridge]

its not that its too hard. some bosses are bs if you dont just cheese

[tight yacht]

like which?

[knotty ridge]

but its more about the animations and feel. a god damn 2h sword is more effective than using a 1h axe just from speed

[tight yacht]

ive gotten to and beaten yag and up to then its fine

[knotty ridge]

i am sick of games making weapons akin to maxes or great hammers

like how there is a myth that swords were all blunt and unruly. this game has a new one where only the axe is as heavy as a fucknig dying star

[tight yacht]

i always thought swords were portrayed in media as being more effective and sharper than they actually were...

like cutting through armor and stuff

[knotty ridge]

in anime yea

in live fiction they either make them effective or blunt clubs

[tight yacht]

i mean irl unless you are going for R rating you arent showing limbs going off, so thats probably why in live action people get "knocked down" by swords

[knotty ridge]

possibly

i think your right qabout that

[tight yacht]

good luck with your pg13 movie if you want to show accurate sword wounds lol

anyways i digress...i think the combat could be improved but it would require a pretty in-depth overhaul of the existing system, or a substantial rebalance that they probably dont have the resources to do atm

[knotty ridge]

i think they jsut need to make axes feel less like a club

or make its attacks not take such a weirdly long wind up with a not so fast mid swing its so bad

[tight yacht]

it does cut damage tho

[knotty ridge]

you misunderstand

[tight yacht]

if i had to guess, it would be because the axe doubles as a gathering tool as well and would be too obviously a good choice if it was also as or more effective than other weapon-only options

inventory slots are already at a premium so something that was competitive and served double duty would be a pretty clear winner, and would make the other options significantly less competitive

[paper marsh]

Even more than inventory, the fact that axe saves you from having to pour materials into another weapon, is very useful

[wispy path]

a bunch of us have been complaining about this and the resources for fishing for a while

[thorn wren]

Yeah it's really bad, just don't do it at all, the food isn't something exceptional, especially for the effort --- you could alternatively download the spearfishing mod, works pretty well and you can use the harpoon to fish

[tight yacht]

So apparently gjall don't do pickaxe damage so that's good. Don't need to worry about a stone pillar getting blasted apart, and the only thing in the biome that does damage stone can't fly

[austere belfry]

so i went from not being able to kill a troll to only being able to kill a troll with bows

[tepid pike]

next step, melee 😄

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t think I’ve actually killed a troll with a bow before, I only use them when I have to and to destroy spawners from a distance
I might try a bit more in a later playthrough

[austere belfry]

i cant reliable dodge the smashes up close, and he seems to attack so fast I cant get many hits in at close range

[austere belfry]

i was doing so well ;_;

got it down to 25% then died to a slam

[broken meteor]

Welcome mods into your life, don't be an idiot!

[merry pebble]

if i would do that i would be the idiot 🙂

[austere belfry]

I did ittttttttttttttt

[sacred harness]

Have any of you had issues with fishing in the new ashlands? I was trying to catch a fish for 2 hours and then one jumped onto my boat so I took it and gavev up.

[merry pebble]

fishing in ashlands is still broken in live branch i believe, it should be fixed in ptb tho so next patch should fix it for everyone 🙂

[sacred harness]

Cool, thanks! Wish i knew that sooner 🥲

[drowsy magnet]

Why is your message marked as 'hidden from likely spammer'?

[fair cairn]

i saw that happen as well once

[fair cairn]

he is also marked as a spammer for me

[merry pebble]

i believe thats the case for everyone

[fair cairn]

last time that happened, it wasnt marked as a spammer for smiffle

[drowsy magnet]

maybe he spammed another server. It's my first time seeing it

[merry pebble]

hmm, interesting

[tepid pike]

it's not for me either

[broken meteor]

long story

[fair cairn]

hmm every messege is hidden it see

he is likely... a spammer

[ionic tree]

how to see ur seed in valheim?

[pulsar mortar]

Nerf at last, vultures were fine but rest was needed

[azure yacht]

#valheim-public-test

[mystic gale]

Can you see what boss keys are active for a player?

And do you need to disable them 1 by 1 if you want to go back to 0 from endgame

[tiny tiger]

Damn looks like the PTB nerfed charred spawn rates pretty hard

It’s a shame I didn’t get to experience pre nerf Ashland’s but I’m hoping by the time Deep North is out I’m ready to take it on straight away

[merry pebble]

you should be able to see it before you start the world, and if you are already in a world type "printseeds" in console

[azure yacht]

listkeys

[azure yacht]

resetkeys

[mystic gale]

This resets all key(s) ?

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[buoyant ether]

is there any benefit to building a mistlands base ?

[buoyant ether]

huomenta 😤

[tiny tiger]

Close to mistlands resources, convenience of easy farming of mistlands shrooms

I’d argue it’s better to have a plains directly connected to mistlands and have a base spanning both biomes

That way you can farm all farmables and have more safety with plains mobs and mistlands mobs attacking each other

[azure yacht]

Yes. If you want to remove specific keys you need removekey + key you want removed

[buoyant ether]

idont think i have any plains + mistland connected biomes

[normal vine]

do u guys know any good soundtrack mods for valheim

like skyrim esque

[tiny tiger]

It’s worth the time investment to scout for, plains+meadows base is a perfect endgame base

[vocal haven]

rip Ashlands, was nice knowing the pre-nerf version of it

[opal prairie]

You could check with the seed viewer.
Luckily we do have mistlands and plains connected, now only need to find a good spot to setup a farm.

[normal vine]

maybe i could port that into valheim

[merry pebble]

someone in #mods-discussion might know 😄

[opal prairie]

Dagnabbit I forgot to take plains island screenshots.

[daring spade]

Anybody got some good Asksvin names?

[tiny tiger]

Big Neck

[daring spade]

lol

[buoyant ether]

wait why meadows ?

[buoyant ether]

yeah am gonna 😤

[tiny tiger]

I meant plains and mistlands lol

My bad I only woke up not long ago

[opal prairie]

Are you asksvin me?
I'd go for puns on question.
?Mark
Porque
Or something with vin
If you have a trio
Viny
Vidy
Vicy

[buoyant ether]

actually i do have some places with plains and mistlands connected

but do i need to build again on ashlands?

[spiral garden]

I can't believe they changed spires. WTF.

[tiny tiger]

Eh Ashland’s you’ll only really need an outpost afaik

[nocturne wolf]

No, the ashlands crop can be farmed in other biomes

[tiny tiger]

What did they change to spores ? @spiral garden

[nocturne wolf]

Check the public test patch notes

[buoyant ether]

#screenshots message some candidates

[tiny tiger]

I must have missed it

Oh right the metal spires, I thought he meant the spires around the Ashland’s islands

[buoyant ether]

am having a hard time deciding where to build

[tiny tiger]

Eh do you have any other mistlands plains with a higher saturation of mistlands ? You only want a little bit of plains

[spiral garden]

I mean, that was the aspect from the Oceans biome that they brought into Ashlands. I guess there's Bonemaw, but that first time with metal spires... definitely a "you're not in kansas anymore" moment.

[tiny tiger]

Atleast you can mine all the metal now

[buoyant ether]

so biome wise its not smart to build on an island (main base)

[nocturne wolf]

If the island has multiple biomes it's ok, and because of portals it doesnt matter too much

[buoyant ether]

i actually do yeah

[tiny tiger]

Ideally you want a lot of mistlands nearby for easy access by boat, the image you showed doesn’t seem to have big chunks of mistlands

[buoyant ether]

#screenshots message

[tiny tiger]

See personally I like that big chunk of islands on the right on the new screenshot

[spiral garden]

Next they'll change it so mining doesn't affect enemies.

[lavish lion]

its kinda sad, but i am pretty sure people were dying in ashlands more often than every biome combined lol

[tiny tiger]

I still cant wait to reach the biome, im the closest ive ever been in terms of progressions to reaching it

Queen citadel located, just need to gear up and experience more mistlands ive got the feather cape and major healing potions but everything else is still plains tier

[lavish lion]

Nicee, it's a fun biome. Hope ya enjoy it too and good luck 👍

[azure yacht]

Expectedly...

[tiny tiger]

thanks dude im actually finding it pretty enjoyable even after all the negative opinions ive heard about it it doesnt seem so bad, the fog is manageable if you just take your time

[visual forge]

gm all , any game that i can join ?

i`m ashland progression so far , but tired of solo

[buoyant ether]

okay i found somewhat of a perfect spot 😤

yeeeee i found LE spot, its close to ashlands, can connect to both biomes

[opal prairie]

#1024264966712340510 is the place to look for groups or games to join.
Browse at your leisure or post something yourself.

[buoyant ether]

plenty of biomes nearby

idk solo is kinda fun

no restrictions 😼

[buoyant ether]

so its ideal if the base connects to both biomes ? farming wise ?

[opal prairie]

Yeah then you have to only maintain one farm all at the same place and teleport everything to were you will be cooking it, instead of going trough multiple portals to gather and farm everything.

[eternal raven]

Now that u said it I think farming everything in plain kinda nice. And my base can have more free space

[rain flare]

I like having a plains / mist farm for that

[eternal raven]

Wish mushroom can grow anywhere

[rain flare]

Silly you have to farm the mushroom in the foggy biome full of giant insects 🤣

[eternal raven]

Gjall just my nightmare when I go to farm

[rain flare]

They spawn in specific spots

[eternal raven]

U were farming. 10 sec in u hear a horn. Hmmm

[rain flare]

So map those out or spawn proof a smaller island

[eternal raven]

Well the specific spot always near my base.

[tiny tiger]

Wait gjalls only spawn in specific places??

I assume it’s near giant remains and dvergr structures

[craggy mason]

No, gjalls spawn anywhere in mistlands

[eternal raven]

And my stupid mind keep forget to unequip the feather cape

[tiny tiger]

For what?

bring fire resistance, feather cape helps with fighting gjalls on the mountain tops

[craggy mason]

Feather cape gives fire weakness which kind of undoes fire resistance mead

[tiny tiger]

Resistances override weaknesses

[eternal raven]

I will say man the fire resistant did nth in hard mode

[craggy mason]

Isn't it all compounded together ?

[eternal raven]

Idk what happen to my friend who drank the potion but he said the DMG are the same when u wear the cape

[nocturne wolf]

Fire mead with feather cape has the same effect as mead with no cape, so you are resistant either way

[tiny tiger]

You need to drink the mead before you take damage

[eternal raven]

Anyone ever train the sneak does higher lvl help?

[tiny tiger]

level 100 is supposedly 50% better than level 0 if I remember correctly

[eternal raven]

But it still useless in Ashland? I never try to sneak there

[tiny tiger]

I’ve not been to Ashland’s yet but from what I heard the only sneaking you’ll be able to do consistently is long range stealth shots with bow or crossbow

[nocturne wolf]

Sneaking wont help at long range because they wont hear you anyway

[eternal raven]

Guess I still go wizard again

[nocturne wolf]

I've only tried magic once and it caused my only death to a boss

[tiny tiger]

Queen?

[nocturne wolf]

yes, this was before ashlands

[paper marsh]

Sneak attacks in Ashlands are good, but you don't need any sneak skill to do those because they're long range

[eternal raven]

When enemy come close I just using wild staff

But rn I'm solo so I try to play melee ( axe )

But troll staff kinda help raid fortress solo

Ahhh all go back to mage

[merry sun]

No, Fire wine deny the weakness and add Resistance

[craggy mason]

Dang that's powerful

[paper marsh]

yea resistance meads in general are busted

[merry sun]

I was thinking the Feather cape change was focusing in Ashlands, but It apparently does affect How Gjall Works trough Mist biome

[tiny tiger]

Fenris armor with feather cape also grants fire resistance

[merry sun]

probably will get one shooted by Blunt Damage

[eternal raven]

Maybe my dump friend didn't upgrade the armor that why he take a lot of dmg

[rain flare]

I don’t understand the sneak / alert functions as well for Valheim, but basically if you stand in front of a mob they will always see you

Sneak lvls only helps you make less noise and use less stamina when sneaking

So if you can break line of sight you will have a use for sneaking

[tiny tiger]

Fog works surprisingly well in plains for fulings not being able to spot you

[rain flare]

Otherwise nope.
Mistlands is actually great for sneak

[tiny tiger]

I’ll be walking around and have one facing me but not being able to see me and a jump attack will kill him with sneak damage from head on

[eternal raven]

Huh and I remember knife have double dmg on the back

[tiny tiger]

I thought it was 6x

[rain flare]

Knives is six x damage as long as the target doesn’t see you

[nocturne wolf]

Backstabs aren't attacks to an enemy's back. It's any attack on an enemy that isnt aggro

[rain flare]

Doesn’t have to be from front or back.

[eternal raven]

Ohhh I thought it need to be the back. Thank man

[nocturne wolf]

6x is double the normal 3x

[rain flare]

If it doesn’t know you are there, it’s taking all that damage 😂

[tiny tiger]

Damn I always thought if you get behind a troll with knife you’ll be doing extra damage

even if alerted, like me and my friend alternating aggro and stabbing in back

[eternal raven]

Same and I always do that

[rain flare]

Mostly you do that just to avoid them seeing you 😂

[eternal raven]

Do they have knife in Ashland? I only play mage so idk about black forge melee

[tiny tiger]

No atgeir or knife I believe

[eternal raven]

Damn that sad

[tiny tiger]

skoll and hati and himminafl are more than good enough tho

Especially himminafl against morgen

[rain flare]

Mistlands gear trounces Ashlands if upgraded

[eternal raven]

U not been to Ashland yet but u knew more than me

Time to hit wiki

[rain flare]

Demolisher go smash, himminafl do big stick, mistwalker is chill

Only thing I wouldn’t use is arbalest

[tiny tiger]

Tbh mountains+ the gear becomes viable for a pretty long time, frostner is still good even in ashlands

[rain flare]

Or spine snap actually 🤣

[tiny tiger]

I think it’s because the increases in damage are more noticeable initially with the first few biomes

[rain flare]

Technically frostner is a magic gear set from Haldor - kinda makes sense it doesn’t fall out of fashion

[eternal raven]

Oh almost forgot about the fist. Wish the next update have Ashland fist weapon

Or deep north ig

[eternal raven]

It not blunt?

What does it deal

[tiny tiger]

Blunt frost spirit, most of the damage comes from elemental tho

[rain flare]

Blunt, frost, spirit

Frost and spirit stack

[eternal raven]

Oh wow hmmm time to drop the axe

[rain flare]

Plus frost slows the buggers down substantially

[tiny tiger]

Could you explain the frost stacking how does it stack ?

[buoyant ether]

uhm any tips if i build a long ass tower from the big stone walls ? im using iron beams as support

[rain flare]

Crystal axe is still good in Ashland’s

[buoyant ether]

like i need windows and stuff too but idk how to do those

[eternal raven]

That thing Jesus. It deal spirit right?

Y'all really open my brain with the melee. Thank man.

[buoyant ether]

idk if im able to make it even

[rain flare]

It does spirit - and has really good knockback

Also, you can still stagger asksvins, all non-starred charred variants

But not the morgen 😂

I love that battleaxe so much

[eternal raven]

Oh noo Morgen I will just shoot him

[rain flare]

Only reason I dropped it was cause the bugs resist physical damage

Aaaaand they don’t take spirit 😂

[buoyant ether]

if i use iron beams isnt wood as supportive as stone ? if not more so?

[tiny tiger]

Would 1 hp 1 sta 1 eitr be sufficient? I only want the protection bubble staff

Okay idk if my first message sent my discord bugged out, what would be the best food loadout for sword shield melee with protection staff?

[eternal raven]

To use staff of protection u need to eat eitr but with melee I don't recommend using it

Best food for melee in mist is mushroom omelette, misthare supreme, honey glaze chicken or meat platter

For mage in mist there only 3 foods for u.

[eternal raven]

Iron beam support better

[vast depot]

how do i pull up the console and use dev commands?

[merry pebble]

F5 and type in "devcommands"

[eternal raven]

Put -console in launch option yet?

[merry pebble]

if F5 doesent do anything you need to go to steam launch options and type in "-console"

[vast depot]

okay thank you!

[buoyant ether]

fuck yeah making my 7 iron beams long tower 😤

[eternal raven]

I like to using iron beam on my fishing farm

Someone in suggestion really suggested battle pass. Like for real!?

[buoyant ether]

how do yall make the hexagonal gate work ? i want to add it to my tower but it looks ugly

[eternal raven]

It a recipe unlock in mistland

Wait how it works? Like making it look good on your building?

[paper marsh]

Similar designs to the ones dvergr make

[buoyant ether]

ahhh so that black marble thingies

am scared if am able to make a balcony work tho

[eternal raven]

If it greens go for it u already add iron beam

[buoyant ether]

also, is the spiral staircase "fitted" in the sense that it works best with black stone as well ?

seems like the length wont snap to ideal spots on wooden stuff

[eternal raven]

But the dvergr stair look ok with it

Did u miss place some stair

Or maybe placing the stair from the top to bottom

[ornate sigil]

Seems like the loud minority(my assumption) will get there wish based on the PTB patch notes I just saw. General decrease in spawns across the ashlands. Happy they gave us numbers to work with but sad to see the "war" get cranked down a notch or 2.

[eternal raven]

I just accepted it

[vast depot]

@eternal raven may i dm you?

[eternal raven]

Sure

But is it that important to dm me?

[stuck dome]

i haven't been yet but surely they can't be that bad

[supple jasper]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1dilhjv/valheim_public_test_update_ashlands_nerfs_enemy/ potentially fixes all of my grievances 😭

[vast depot]

just have some questions

[eternal raven]

It bad or maybe because I play on laptop

[eternal raven]

Oh ok

[stuck dome]

are you playing with the laptop plugged in to the charger?

[eternal raven]

Oh yes

[stuck dome]

valheim is very cpu heavy laptops are well known for being deliberately underpowered because if they were full sized desktop components they would literally cook you

[eternal raven]

Oh yes in Ashland my laptop sound like an airplane

[stuck dome]

from personal experience the game doesn't look bad at low graphics

just run at low graphics on a lower resolution

[eternal raven]

Full low setting just normal render

[stuck dome]

turn down resolution

[eternal raven]

All low

[supple jasper]

unfortunately does not fix the cpu lags in bases 😦

[stuck dome]

the issue with bases used to be something to do with how terrain was flattened

but that was fixed iirc

[supple jasper]

my guess is that it's related to physics and medium sized bases

[stuck dome]

if you've ever played red faction guerilla that had a very similar problem with physics

[supple jasper]

they've already made optmization in that area as well, like checking for structural integrity more infrequently

still almost unbearable in a base with a wall, 2 stories and crops

[stuck dome]

see i flatten a huge square and dig a moat then connect the mesas with stone bridges

[supple jasper]

is that faster?

[stuck dome]

the only thing that lags my game out is having more than 10 portals

keep them away from your main base in a seperate building off in the distance so the game isn't constantly rendering the effects of them all

[crisp portal]

Is flametal beams better than iron ones? I haven't tested them

[supple jasper]

worse

I think they're only used on top of lava

[crisp portal]

meeh. Thank u

[supple jasper]

I'm fine with that, don't want another iron expedition

[azure yacht]

They're the same

[ember rivet]

if you can't melt flametal with lava
how can you do it with coal and a furnace

[supple jasper]

that's why you need that blast furnace

[eternal raven]

Magic

[eternal raven]

It like golem can't break silver ore but troll , abomination can

[ember rivet]

never tried

[supple jasper]

I've also noticed that lox can't fell birch trees?

[buoyant ether]

is it possible to build a larger underground area than the surface area ?

[supple jasper]

stone is fine however

[supple jasper]

place stones on top with the dev console

[buoyant ether]

or does the stone break all the way to the top when mining

[buoyant ether]

spawn rock_destructable_test ? this one ?

[supple jasper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkhZlgaez7k

[buoyant ether]

i wulda wanted to build under my base but seems like i would need that sub-optimal location

am building on a plains/mistlands area so

[azure yacht]

You mean the furnace powered by the tears of a dragon goddess ||that's implied to be the mate of the ashlands boss?||

[vocal haven]

Feeling a bit down by reading the patch notes at work.
Is Ashlands as neutered now as it would seem in the patch notes? Did anybody try it yet?

[eternal raven]

I think he/she meant how a coal can melt it but lava can't

[azure yacht]

Yes, but you put that coal inside of a furnace that is still powered by the energy of a dragon goddess

[eternal raven]

Never thought of that

Now it sound like that tear have the same amount of power as the blood stone

Her spirit cry so hard it melt it

[grave nimbus]

Just got the "they were bros" raid in the middle of an absolute shit show of a fight in the Ashlands lol

[eternal raven]

Second war

[grave nimbus]

They truly were bros, they killed several of the mobs running me down and then I logged off so I wouldn't have to kill them 😌 thanks zul love you

[eternal raven]

Lol

[rain flare]

I’m just imagining the battle of the 5 armies with goblins coming pouring into the battlefield and the elves/dwarves being pissed off at the intrusion 🤣

The charred probably just look confused as hel 😂

Trying to kill humans - proceeds to get walloped by giant fuling wielding a big stick howling “They were BROS MAN!!!” 🤣

[grave nimbus]

Love that imagery and honestly even the eagles had something to say in that fight lmao (vultures descended on us halfway through)

[final bloom]

Not sure if u talking about it, but yeah, my fps get cuts in half when I'm inside my main base

I'm using a i7-gen11 with an RTX 3060 for Notebooks, on the wild I get 60fps, but while in my main base I'm getting aroung 40ish

[buoyant ether]

round small buildings are sooo practical 😤 😤

[final bloom]

I'm trying my first round building. Just built a 20x20 circle, and now i'm designing the rest of it now. It'll be a portal hub

Used the "pixel-circle" website to give me the "best circle" with my stone floors

[buoyant ether]

i made like a tall ass hut/tower and now planning a outside kitchen next to and stuff

[near coral]

[supple jasper]

exactly the same here as well, but it feels much worse due to long stutters

so it averages around 40fps but that's 60fps plus a couple of periods where frames will just tank significantly

[buoyant ether]

whats the best way to widen my base area ? so i can get that mistland farm land brraaa

[opal prairie]

Earthen walls and spawn proofing.

[buoyant ether]

yaaaasss

[topaz otter]

Lots of underground crafting benches and maybe some ballista with gjall trophies to set their targeting.

[quick monolith]

Is there an actual creative mode yet? That doesn’t require coding items to yourself?

[merry pebble]

it has been for very long time, yes

[opal prairie]

Yes, change the world settings.

[merry pebble]

or debugmode 🙂

[slender tinsel]

I wish odin will bless me with spiral stairs

[hidden gorge]

your blessing awaits you in the mistlands

[slender tinsel]

thank you odin

[opal prairie]

Works differently though.

[merry pebble]

a bit, you get materials back

[opal prairie]

With debugmode you also first use materials in your inventory before placing it freely.

[slender tinsel]

do I work the biomes in a particular order? I’m black forest tier but Ive discovered a winter biome

[opal prairie]

Mountain is for after swamps.

If you go into the biome the bird notifies you that it will be to though if I'm not mistaken.

[slender tinsel]

what’s the intended biome after black forest

[merry pebble]

hmm, could be the case, tho i would swear that i used it and materials were still left in my inventory 🤔

[hidden gorge]

swamp

[teal tiger]

Dude... God bless those PTB patch notes.

[thorn wren]

meadow --> black forest --> swamp --> mountain --> plains --> mistlands --> ashlands

[azure yacht]

Omg it's John valheim himself

[eternal raven]

The battle is over

[shy marlin]

can i get your autograph john valheim

[teal tiger]

Wait, Voltures made walking sounds when they flew? I never noticed. That's hilarious.

[thorn wren]

where are you seeing these patchnotes?

[quick monolith]

Wow so there is a literal creative mode? I hate debug mode

[teal tiger]

#valheim-patchnotes

[merry pebble]

#public-test-patchnotes or on steam

[thorn wren]

? the last thing I see in that channel was from last month

also don't see them announced on steam, do you have to be on the ptr branch or something ?

[merry pebble]

if you dont see that you have to go into id:customize and pick the public test role

[opal prairie]

The patchnotes are for the ptr, yes.

[thorn wren]

fyi, there are notifications on steam for some of the ptr patches... without ever being involved in the ptr.

So, it's not super obvious that some of them come through and some don't

[teal tiger]

Oh, my bad, I linked the wrong channel lol, just waking up, but yes they're on this server

[merry pebble]

yes? they are on steam or in ptb patchnotes channel

[hidden gorge]

on steam there is a huge disclaimer that starts off

Note: This update is for the Public Test branch of Valheim only, and may therefore be unstable!

[teal tiger]

If you select the public tester role you'll get pinged for those notes

[thorn wren]

I don't think you read what I typed

[fringe coral]

when does willybach come abck

[thorn wren]

On my steam, the last public test related notification is from april 22

[merry pebble]

there are always ptb patches visible on steam...

[thorn wren]

Bruh

[hidden gorge]

is your steam in offline mode or something? there have been many patches listed on steam since then

including a couple major updates

[thorn wren]

The answer is just to grab that role and read them from #public-test-patchnotes
On my steam, I do not see the PTR notifications you guys see --- probably because you guys are opt'd in

However, even though I've never been part of a valheim ptr in any way --- I still see the PT notification from april 22
thus the confusion

[hidden gorge]

not opted into any at the moment

[merry pebble]

i dont believe there is any settings for that...

[thorn wren]

Ok it was (maybe) because Valheim was currently running? When I restarted the game just now the feed updated and I see the new one from today, 0.218.17

weird

[fossil delta]

One of your two roles you selected for here is play tester.

[eternal raven]

A lot of spawn rate drop almost like other biome enemy

[hidden gorge]

to be fair, that might have been just recently added, due to the conversation that just happened

[merry pebble]

that has been done in last few minutes, i checked before and they werent in ptb, thats why i sent this #valheim-chat message

[fossil delta]

Its not a bad thing to be part of. I just am not interested in running servers and doing testing this time around.

[buoyant ether]

goddamn i hate terraforming this much 😫

[livid widget]

whackin the hoe

[near coral]

real

[teal tiger]

Was Mistlands gear the first tier of gear that had final upgrades locked behind the next biome?

[merry pebble]

no, leather is the first i believe

[teal tiger]

Oh damn, guess I just didn't notice it until recently, thought most of my armor and weapons had been getting maxed out before I was moving on.

[buoyant ether]

how long yall take to build one new base ?

[teal tiger]

5 minutes for an outpost, an hour for something temporary, usually half a day for something permanent.

[merry pebble]

also troll, bronze and root, then carapace and eitr weave

[buoyant ether]

cuz took me like 3hours just to build that simple tower and a kitchen and terraform that plains/mist base... still far from done but

thing is, its lot less useful than the megauseful house i copied from crate of bananas

but its my own design 😤

[teal tiger]

It'll get faster the more you do it

[buoyant ether]

i been playing mostly with build cost off so that its more forgiving to learn to build but i miss some recipe stuff cuz of it

[opal prairie]

You can devcommand spawn in items and get the recipes.

[buoyant ether]

ive got plenty of caparaces but still no recipe for the armor

[buoyant ether]

yeah i did that a few times

[merry pebble]

you will need eitr refinery 🙂

and the stuff you make in it

[eternal raven]

Sab + tissue in eitr refinery = refined eitr

[queen laurel]

HI EVERYONE

[eternal raven]

Hi

[queen laurel]

anyone wanna play?

[buoyant ether]

so i need to find something that gives eitr ?

[eternal raven]

Sap extractor for sap

Tissue get from giant skull

[merry pebble]

if you want to play with someone you can make a post and look through #1024264966712340510 🙂 people are mostly posting and looking there if they want someone to play with

[queen laurel]

ok

[eternal raven]

Sap extractor needle can be found in dvergr base and it in the glowing crate

Don't forget to bring black metal cause sap extractor need it

And the eitr refinery shoot the radiation everywhere so build sth around it or buld it outside your base. So it doesn't destroy your base

[vapid hearth]

I have to wonder, how much of a difference does getting rid of the densely packed spawners in the Ashlands make?

[eternal raven]

A lot

It drop to 30%-25% spawn rate

And the spires doesn't sink anymore idk how I feel about that

If it doesn't sink then the fortress reward shouldn't having flamematel in it

[thorn wren]

I don't think I like the pillars not sinking change ---- it would be better if lava changed a bit..
cut it's damage in half and make it leave a fire dot so you can actually use fire resist pots to mitigate and make the process less dangerous

[eternal raven]

Hmmm 🤔 I like that idea

[opal prairie]

Either build black amber or an iron cage around it.

[azure yacht]

Or make flametal set actually useful against it as it's implied to be...

[eternal raven]

Oh the heat resistant

[thorn wren]

It kinda would be if the base damage was cut in half, that 40% would effectively be twice as significant

[azure yacht]

True, might work as well

[unique onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-okay-thumbs-up-melt-lava-gif-9214446

[eternal raven]

I just leave mine in open flat space

[thorn wren]

surrounding it with black marble is my go too, I think it looks neat

[opal prairie]

I'll put it in a cage this time and try and have a black marble walkway over it to drop in the materials and have the refined eitr roll out if I open up a iron cage door.

[eternal raven]

I just dig a small hole infront of the drop

I forgot black marble resistant to magic bruh me

[unique onyx]

under the elder or cover it in black marble so you only have access to the 2 inputs and where it pops out

[teal tiger]

You can completely enclose Eitr Refineries with metal cages. I have a refinery in my wood house.

[eternal raven]

Hmmm this really helpful. Now I don't have to teleport to it

The skeleton in ashland that throw stone.
Is it throw stone or skull cause I saw 2 holes on it

[teal tiger]

Just don't build wood right up against the metal cages. My house is fine, except where the wall was hugging my cage (I think it was clipping through the cage tbh)

[eternal raven]

Ok got it thank

[teal tiger]

I believe Twitchers are throwing rocks. Skulls would be badass though.

[eternal raven]

That what I thought throw the head of the fallen

[paper marsh]

They’re throwing charred skulls

You can see it if you screenshot it as they throw

[teal tiger]

This is what I get for trusting the wiki.

That's pretty metal.

[frozen tiger]

Upcoming changes on the public test branch look awful. With spawnrate of every enemy reduced ashlands will become more "friendly" and empty. Hope to finish before changes arrive to main.

[teal tiger]

You'll have lots of time to do that before it hits live.
I'm sure it will divide the community, like Mistlands nerfs did. I can see arguments for people disliking it, but personally I'm going to be happy not feeling like a naked Viking in the meadows being swarmed by 200 boars the second I step outside my base.

[frozen tiger]

Well, Ashlands were promised to be extremely hostile, and IronGate dilivered this just fine. Like Hugin said: before it was survival, and now it's a war

[molten saffron]

Should've left spawn rates alone.

[teal tiger]

Are you playing solo?

[vocal rivet]

Why are we discussing a test patch in the main channel and not the PTV channels?

[teal tiger]

Agreed. The combat system is just too simple for the concept they were going for. It was a cool concept, but even with upgraded Ashlands gear and food... It gets old real fast going out for materials and being swarmed by an army for the 50th time.

[frozen tiger]

30% time in team, 70% solo. Solo is usually easier because of no hp scaling for enemies

[merry sun]

AGREED

[vocal rivet]

A BOARD GAME?

[merry sun]

you couldnt be more right

[vocal rivet]

Ahem, excuse the caps.

[finite perch]

i am going to purchase the board gane and play it and get squashed by a tree within 5 minutes

[azure yacht]

Oh look...

Another excuse for haters to say they're wasting time for development despite being very explicitly stated there that it's not being made by the devs...

[finite perch]

LMAO !! also why are you replying to yourself

[buoyant ether]

how can i damage the yggrdasil treeS?

[livid widget]

hit it with an axe

[azure yacht]

Black metal axe

If you mean the giant branches, you can't

[buoyant ether]

nnnope

[livid widget]

black metal

[buoyant ether]

ok ok

[azure yacht]

You extract a resource from them. Find a dvergr outpost

And search for a long, shiny box

[teal tiger]

I didn't see anyone complaining about dev time, unless someone's blocked me lol

[merry sun]

What now? The game isnt made by the devs?

[merry sun]

Check any YouTube video about Valheim

Mainly the Mod compilations

[livid widget]

dev time to finish the game?

[vapid hearth]

Honestly, I consider it a great idea, especially because I really don't like the floating glitch that makes it harder for me to jump off when it starts sinking, nor do I like the idea of being pressured, nor having to get my hands on catapults to get the most flametal I can (though that's more of a personal burn from me being unable to get the catapult component before they despawned because of the deathloop)

[merry sun]

"The game NEVER Will be better than these mods" "6 Years for Deep North" "Valheim needs more attention" are some recently comments i saw

[livid widget]

I haven't installed any mods. Are they worth it?

[merry sun]

I only like and tested QoL mods, i cant say more

[vocal rivet]

Depends. Theyre definitely not necessary. But if you have specific issues with things then so QOL mods might suit you.

[teal tiger]

In my experience they brick Steam Link so I don't touch em

[fluid cove]

holy shit dragon eggs weigh 200 each

[azure yacht]

Read the announcement #news

[livid widget]

yeah, have fun making mulitiple trips up the mountain 😄

[frozen tiger]

As a vanilla enjoyer I more than happy with Ashlands, its atmosphere, music and challenge, and willing to wait another two years for good content.

[vocal rivet]

You won't be waiting 2 years.

[frozen tiger]

1.5?

[fluid cove]

[merry sun]

"Modding valheim in the game It shoulve been" People actually dont think like that

[vocal rivet]

What?

[merry sun]

Oh understood... Wait, A BOARD GAME?

This models are actually insane

[vocal rivet]

Reading is important.

[merry sun]

never saw the word "board" in my life 😆

now ik what it means

[merry sun]

Many people complain about how the dev time is "Slow" and How some Biomes like ocean are "empty" (actually i dont think like that)

[vocal rivet]

I know.

[azure yacht]

In that context and alongside "game"

It's something along the line of chess, monopoly, etc

[teal tiger]

I can see this being as epic as Settlers of Catan

[merry sun]

I just got caught and suprised by how many players are unsatisfied with the game

[merry sun]

I Wonder How many Valheim creatures Will be in the game, that Bonemass figure is sick

[fluid cove]

as someone who paint minis as a hobby, this news pleases me

considering the in-game models are pretty low-poly, and that Bonemass figure is pretty detailed, I bet the rest of the models would be fairly detailed as well

[azure yacht]

throws dice while chopping trees

NAT 1

starts visibly shaking

[warm sparrow]

Can u have two meads at same time like medium healing and medium stamina?

[timid sun]

;-; I'm definitely falling off my roof while building, just like the real Valheim

[vocal rivet]

If they buff different stats, yes.

[teal tiger]

Yes. Each stat type has its own cooldown.

[warm sparrow]

Ty lads

[merry sun]

Imagine Elder or Yagluth

[fluid cove]

i'm playing solo and i got about 90 silver ore haul from my latest trip to the mountains

is that enough silver or do i probably need more

[merry sun]

Def need more

[smoky quarry]

for basics

need more, like a full cart would be fantastic

[merry sun]

Sword is 40, All armor Level 1 is 60

[fluid cove]

🗿

[merry sun]

Frostner is 30, Draugr Fang is 30

[smoky quarry]

back to the frozen pits with ya

[fluid cove]

well

i havent found the boss marker for the next boss either way, so back up the himalayas i go

🗿

[smoky quarry]

sorry about the weather

[azure yacht]

It's kinda weird that they're releasing a board game when the game itself isn't finished.

Does that mean the board game is also in ea?

Would the remaining biomes be separate modules?

[vocal rivet]

I mean, you've seen the same article as we have.

[smoky quarry]

1st to see if they get the moneys

prob release with full game or about

[teal tiger]

It'll be weird when they finish the game. I wonder if they'll change their minds a year after DN drops and decide to add more biomes.. or maybe work on Valheim part deux?

[buoyant ether]

wait the games still nto finished?

[vocal rivet]

After 1.0, all we should expect are a few rounds of bug fixes.

[fluid cove]

at least the boardgame aint Kickstarter

[teal tiger]

Those are current expectations, yes.

[azure yacht]

More biomes will definitely not gonna happen

The ones present are the ones we will ever get

[smoky quarry]

you get to finally finish it and new players get to experience it in full in a shorter time

[azure yacht]

It's in early access so no

[buoyant ether]

oh 💀

[smoky quarry]

lol

[vocal rivet]

Expectations don't even come into it. That's been the devs plan since day one.

[vocal rivet]

You're not new, how do you not know this?

[eternal raven]

bruh

[fluid cove]

what about a new realm, a bit like how Factorio gives us new planets

[vocal rivet]

The realm is called Valheim, the same as the game...

[teal tiger]

All I'm saying is success changes plans. I'm just interested to see if after enough time they decide to expand or make a second game.

[fluid cove]

what about the 11th realm or some shit lmfao

[azure yacht]

Their plans being bugfixing after full launch implies that everything that needs to be done will be done during ea phase.

Whether that takes the game into a 7dtd/project zomboid situation or not

[vocal rivet]

That would be a completely different game.

[light ruin]

I’m looking into jumping in. Anyone interested in playing?

[fluid cove]

guess so

[eternal raven]

this is valheim not minecraft

we not portal to different realm

[azure yacht]

Rather than very unnecessarily expand the game more, why not much better leave it to rest and use their gained knowledge for other projects instead?

Developing a game for eternity is so...

Can't find a word for it, inefficient? Lame? Unnecessary?

[teal tiger]

...Which is why I said "or part deux"

[smoky quarry]

pretty sure they will take a break after finishing the game lol

[azure yacht]

A new project is also an opportunity to expand the team as they would all be starting from 0

[smoky quarry]

i would take a nice long vacation...

[fluid cove]

will they continue the Valheim formula doe

[azure yacht]

That too. By then they totally deserve it

[smoky quarry]

live n learn

[eternal raven]

some game doesn't need to be long to enjoy it

[teal tiger]

Anyways. I wonder if they'll work on a sequel eventually.

[eternal raven]

vahalla

fight odin

[azure yacht]

Not even, they should just take a vacation from valheim overall and make a separate project

[vocal rivet]

Now why would we fight Odin?

[pale marsh]

nahh, more new areas more fun

[eternal raven]

im broad and just want to fight god

[smoky quarry]

all i want in-game is fly agaric mushrooms

[vocal rivet]

There are games for that.

[eternal raven]

ik

[fluid cove]

what if the other side of the planet

[vocal rivet]

What planet?

[eternal raven]

let it stop at deep north

[vocal rivet]

It will, don't worry.

[fluid cove]

like when you zoom out entirely, the whole maps is like a planet right

[vocal rivet]

No.

[odd helm]

Might want to take a trip to the edge and see what it looks like, it's a doozy

Just be careful

[vocal rivet]

I swear some people are playing a completely different game.

[eternal raven]

like me

[fluid cove]

i know its basically a flat earth type thing

they could change it maybe? 🗿

[vocal rivet]

Why would they change it?

[fluid cove]

to expand

[odd helm]

They won't

[eternal raven]

why it need to expand

[fair goblet]

They've already made an incredible survival game. I wouldn't be surprised if they took a long break after 1.0 and then worked on a completely different project in a different genre

[fluid cove]

aight

[odd helm]

Since the beginning they've made it pretty clear that their scope is pretty fixed to the announced biomes

[eternal raven]

why ppl want to add more to it

[odd helm]

Scope creep is a killer, and it's for the better that they're not trying to expand it

[vocal rivet]

Eh, they like the game, it's not unreasonable to want more of the same.

[eternal raven]

game doesn't need to be long to be fun. if u playing for too long u will lose the enjoyment in it

[rain flare]

Scope creep can happen after the original project is finished

moders will have a field day

[fair goblet]

True. I wouldn't mind some DLC, but I don't think we need more free content after 1.0. If you're gonna expand, do something that will shake up the gameplay loop

[fluid cove]

the trip from Ashlands all the way to DN would take forever 🗿

[hidden gorge]

mods are inherently not part of any scope

[buoyant ether]

whatever they end up making, itll be great

[hidden gorge]

devs can add in mod support, but the content of the mods is not part of the development process whatsoever

[vocal rivet]

I wonder what happens to this Discord if / when they do make a new game. Will they create a whole new one for the new game or rejig this one to accomodate both.

[eternal raven]

new one better

[whole patio]

still having doubts when valheim puts a link on the news channel

[livid widget]

Is Ygrassil tree a biome?

[azure yacht]

People also think that adding content just because will extend the playtime forever.

Replayability comes more from the player than the game itself

[eternal raven]

what

[eternal raven]

it a tree

[fluid cove]

Yggdrasil is the cradle tree of the nine ten realms innit

[azure yacht]

Seems simpler to just create a new server.

And having one for multiple games might surely get messy

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, I've seen it work for a few games, but they have at least been related games.

[teal tiger]

If it's like a straight up Valheim 2.0 it would probably just be another category here, otherwise a new server makes more sense.

[fluid cove]

Valheim but Unreal Engine quality

[eternal raven]

that will be another game

[fluid cove]

would probably piss off a lot of us

[vocal rivet]

I don't think the engine makes that much difference.

The graphics aren't how they are because they used Unity.

[eternal raven]

the UE kinda go nut in the bodycam game

look too real

[smoky quarry]

new valheim 2.0 but we play a greyling and just sit in the forrest, waiting...

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, but the graphics in THIS game are an aesthetic choice.

[eternal raven]

ik. I just want to point out how real the UE is

[vocal rivet]

OK, but this is the Valheim channel.

[eternal raven]

got it

[fair goblet]

I hope they stick to open world, since they do really well with that. I wonder what they would be able to do with a sci-fi setting

Or maybe a roman mythology setting

[livid widget]

I think the graphics are still pretty good considering the games age

[vocal rivet]

What, brand new?

[livid widget]

huh?

[vocal rivet]

The game's age? It hasn't even been released yet.

[livid widget]

Don't be obtuse.

[vocal rivet]

And again, the pixellated style is intentional. 😕

[livid widget]

You know what I mean.

[vocal rivet]

No, not really.

[livid widget]

Ironically, I'm literally agreeing with you.

[vocal rivet]

I'm not sure you are.

[livid widget]

Bro, when did the game go into development?

[vocal rivet]

Irrelevant.

It's STILL in development.

[fair goblet]

I remember it receiving flack for "PS2 graphics" when it released on EA. They chose their graphical art style right from the get-go

[wet lodge]

anyone else a huge fan of jerky

[livid widget]

How many graphics improvements have happened?

[teal tiger]

The graphics are aged to when development began, not in the future.

[vocal rivet]

I already am, trust me.

[livid widget]

Exactly this ^^

[vocal rivet]

We've had quite a few shader updates.

[livid widget]

The game is old, regardless of version.

[wet lodge]

valheim is old now? 😭

[livid widget]

It's pretty good though. It's immersive.

[vocal rivet]

No, of course not.

No. 😕

That wouldn't even work to be honest.

[teal tiger]

It was an aesthetic choice. The game doesn't run smoothly enough for it to have been a low poly strategic choice.

[odd helm]

To be fair, the game itself is pretty small

It would be a hecc of a lot heavier with high res textures/geometry

[wet lodge]

btw, if anyone notices their game lagging quite a bit inside their base, for me it was the hearth casting a lot of shadows/being in a pit

the game does not like lightsources near objects

did the devs fix smoke passing through grates yet?

[sharp bluff]

there are a lot of things which can lag you at your base

[teal tiger]

The ||shield generator|| does this for me.

Nothing really lagged me until that.

[wet lodge]

hearths are by far the laggiest thing ive seen so far

[smoky quarry]

my fps increased since i replaced torches and such with dverg lanterns, no flcikery shadows

[sharp bluff]

entity lag is a bigger offender

[wet lodge]

I can have 5-10k worth of building instances near me and not lag

but 1 hearth? burns my fps

[smoky quarry]

i got 3 in the same area, no problems. Its the lights for me. To many :))

[unique onyx]

weird i've made light houses with 16 hearths that didn't lag at all

[wet lodge]

I told my mates that we shouldnt do pig/wolf/lox farm inside the base, they didnt listen

[smoky quarry]

my farms are far away, at older bases or such

[wet lodge]

an external farm you put near a portal you pass by frequently, thats the best bet

[smoky quarry]

preferably on an island

[wet lodge]

maybe put the farms next to the portal room hmm

[teal tiger]

Huh, I have four hearths at my base that haven't lagged me. Shield gennies really do me in though.

[fluid cove]

took me too long to realize that building with stones is like stacking irl bricks

still confuses me a bit when building them tho

[wet lodge]

wdym

[sharp bluff]

i mean, not really
you can build hyper unstable structures in valheim

[smoky quarry]

i wish the stone slabs were thinner also

[wet lodge]

0.5m thick stone would be neat

give it half health, idc

[fluid cove]

my english isn't the best so idk how to phrase what im trying to say lol

[smoky quarry]

mostly for roofing atop stone builds since it rains thru wood

[wet lodge]

I find building structurally sound in valheim incredibly intuitive

[teal tiger]

I put a half wooden floor along the outside edge of my top stone wall when making a roof now. Wooden rooves look awkward on stone otherwise imo.

[wet lodge]

I wish they would finally let smoke pass through iron grates

[smoky quarry]

sounds like some coding nightmare

[wet lodge]

ive done stuff in unity before, its literally 1 tag for the smoke and one condition for the grates

you can disable hitboxes for instances with specific tags

[smoky quarry]

i figured out how to place large slabs as a roof now anyway

if you suppoort them, place them then remove supports, they stay put together.

[unique onyx]

i'm not sure you'd want to disable hitboxes for something people use as flooring

[smoky quarry]

if smoke passes thru, arrows could also kek

[wet lodge]

?? you as a player instance dont have the same tags as smoke, wtf you talking about

arrows also dont have the same tags as smoke, same illogical answer

[smoky quarry]

whats wrong with arrows going thru grates?

[wet lodge]

would look unrealistic when an arrow passes through a bar

[smoky quarry]

its a grate

[wet lodge]

it has bars

[smoky quarry]

so arrow passes between bars, cause ,y ou know, its like a hole

[fluid cove]

when you guys build with stone wall 2x1, do you guys put them in a criss-cross like irl bricks or just stack them on top of one another

[wet lodge]

you have to code a whole new hitbox mesh for the grates then

[smoky quarry]

yea, coding nightmare

[wet lodge]

and make it account for all possible directions, with very tight margins

smoke wouldnt have that issue

[sharp bluff]

irl bricks cuz stacked offends my eyes

[unique onyx]

depends which parts, for support i usually use ironwood and pieces of stone that are 2 high. but then after i cover everythingi n the 2x1 staggered rows because it looks better

[smoky quarry]

maybe it eats to much cpu

[wet lodge]

making smoke pass through the grates would be 3 lines of code, if I had the time to learn how to mod valheim I'd do it myself

[smoky quarry]

make a mod

[wet lodge]

imagine being able to read, couldnt be you

[unique onyx]

you could call it synkhym

[smoky quarry]

i no read, no book

[fluid cove]

imma need to expand my building IQ cuz i've been building nothing but square-ish buildings all this time

🗿

[smoky quarry]

i like to follow the contour of the land, small hills etc.

[teal tiger]

Watch YouTube videos of builders for inspiration.

[livid widget]

Not even rectangles?

[sharp bluff]

try to maintain a ratio of 1:1.6 when building

it works wonders

[smoky quarry]

tell me more about this ratio

[fluid cove]

you see, i do watch them, but as soon as i finished my foundations, my train of thought went off-rails

also gathering the materials for big builds is a pain in the ass since i'm playing solo survival rn kek

[sharp bluff]

building order:
plan the roof
plan the height and ratios
place foundations

[wet lodge]

I plan the shape of the foundation and then figure out the roofs, if they dont work out I start over

[fluid cove]

how high can i stack a 2:1 stone wall before it turns red

[crisp portal]

Don't aim big, go for small ones, than build another small one, so then you extend them to form a bigger one using a 3 small one xD

[sharp bluff]

16 meters

[crisp portal]

Needs planning, tho

[fluid cove]

yeah i find building a village type base more fun than one big building tbh

[sharp bluff]

for large builds you need to use iron pieces

[livid widget]

We eventually enabled no build cost

After collecting like 5000 stone up to plains, we felt we earned it.

[crisp portal]

my main house was 6x6 until day 600, which was when I decided to upgrade it to a 3-story one

[wet lodge]

my group is building their 3rd workshop now, we are at day 300 something

and its not the last time we will rebuild

[sharp bluff]

once im at ashlands ill build my new fortress
its what, 60x60?

[crisp portal]

however I had a trophy room for all creatures (until mistlands) which I will have to find a way to expand it

[sharp bluff]

with a star shaped wall, mind you

[wet lodge]

fenris set acquired

now to grind enough hair to get it to level 4

[livid widget]

Will tamed wolves eat the chickens

[worldly turtle]

Man no map has really highlighted just how bad a sense of direction I have lol

[crisp portal]

If you are going to use it to explore, not need, but Its worth anyway

[sharp bluff]

all tamed creatures are in the player faction

[buoyant ether]

i almost kinda wanna make a new seed and one very good mainbase and thats it 😫

[livid widget]

Why?

[wet lodge]

just rebuild somewhere?

[fluid cove]

i've literally moved my base twice now

[livid widget]

yeah we are on our 3rd. But we have small outposts everywhere

[fluid cove]

moving non-metal items is easy, moving the metals took me 3 longship trips

[wet lodge]

zero upsides to startin over

[fluid cove]

man how i wish we can have a floating cargo vessel we can hook up to the longship, cuz putting carts on the deck is a kinda risky

[frosty cypress]

what i wouldnt do for a 9 and a 0 slot. too many things need accessing quickly like potions and weapons. dont understand why they arent a thing already

[livid widget]

Anyone know the # of days for root to regen

[lofty dagger]

bro help me

[wet lodge]

is it possible to skip blackmetal?

[livid widget]

Seems like it would be rough going into ML with just silver

But technically it's doable I guess?

[wet lodge]

fenris in mistlands is ok ish

[livid widget]

yeah I haven't used the speed stuff much. I think people go into AL with it

[buoyant ether]

idk man, im greedy (i want the perfect base)

[livid widget]

not sure if there's even an altnernative

[buoyant ether]

😫

[livid widget]

So build it? You don't need a new seed to do that

[buoyant ether]

i also dont know whats the perfect base for me

[fluid cove]

btw the other day i went to the plains with god mode and debug fly
went to a fuling village (in god mode) and it seemed impossible

[livid widget]

you just have to try and pull them methodically

[fluid cove]

two berserkers and two shamans, can't even move without the fly mode since the berserkers basically gives my screen a 12.0 earthquake

🗿

[azure yacht]

The first trailer for the game pretty much tells you how you should handle fuling villages.

It shows the characters sneaking around and approaching the village

[wet lodge]

if plains enemies seem impossible just wait till you go to infested mines

[livid widget]

Feel like the mines are easier tbh

[smoky quarry]

someone say fulling? I say fireball

[wet lodge]

cramped af and that 2 star seeker gonna whoop your ass

also why are bows so op

[livid widget]

true, but it's been pretty well partitioned and you don't really get more than 3 at most. Fulling villages have like 20 linked mobs

[buoyant ether]

bow and start sniping them one by one

and lots and LOTS of kiting

[livid widget]

Not that mines are "easy". I just found them to be not as hard as the villages.

[wet lodge]

im using a level 2 finewood bow in mountains and it 2 shots most enemies, and im primarily using knives, so bow skill is low

[smoky quarry]

i snipe the shamans from afar

[fluid cove]

and yesterday i skirted a bit too close to the plains in my survival world, got malaria'd to death instantly

🗿

[livid widget]

Game reminds me a lot of EverQuest

[buoyant ether]

infested mines are kinda ez with just shield and hammer

[wet lodge]

if you got root armor mosquitos dont even do 50% health

[buoyant ether]

im even undergeared but wasnt too diff

[fluid cove]

i got iron armor on

[livid widget]

Perry

[final bloom]

Yeah, root armor kind of trivialize the Deathquitos

[fluid cove]

is it still worth it to go iron mining again, or should i just go find more silver

[livid widget]

You'll need more iron

[final bloom]

You'll need Iron for the rest of your life

[fluid cove]

fuuugggg

[livid widget]

bacon!

[wet lodge]

iron armor is mid and expensive af

[fluid cove]

im in the mountains now, which armor should i craft then

[wet lodge]

fenris or root, depending on playstyle

I was with troll armor in mountains and Ive got the plains stuff before I went to mountains, we got lox/cloudberries, etc. just not what you need moder for

[fluid cove]

i can technically visit the plains again, just kinda afraid lmfao

fuling i can beat 1v1 or 1v2 tho

the berserkers i simply stay tf away

[livid widget]

I've only sword/board everything

[ivory patio]

why is the valhein chat so quiet? is everyone playing this game solo? or can u find consistently someone to play with

[lofty dagger]

i pray someone help me i have tried to fix my roof for 4 hours

[livid widget]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[fluid cove]

whats the matter with it

[lofty dagger]

can u dm me i send picture

[wet lodge]

we have pic channels..

[lofty dagger]

where

[fluid cove]

you can post it on #screenshots

[lofty dagger]

ok i post

[fluid cove]

ok i saw

[lofty dagger]

done

i just cant get a roof here i want to close my roof here but i cant

[fluid cove]

is the tile next to it completely red

[livid widget]

you probably need support beams that connect to the ground

you can place them in the joints of the wall and build them up from the ground

[lofty dagger]

i have support beams

[livid widget]

take a wider angle screenshot

it's hard to see what's going on there

[lofty dagger]

look screenshots

why every build i look is red

[livid widget]

are the roof pieces crumbling immediately after you place them?

[lofty dagger]

no

it lasted like 40 seconds then they broke

[livid widget]

fair enough. the cause is still the same. You need more support

[lofty dagger]

look screenshots

i want it like this but it just brokes

i added more support lets see

[unique onyx]

make sure the ironwood you're using is attached to the ground. other than that you could try adding some stone to the lower ironwood and see if that extends your build up some

or maybe raise the ground somewhere the supports are

[lofty dagger]

i just beated eikthyr

im new intp valheim i dont have stone

[fluid cove]

use corewood 4m as support beams

[unique onyx]

yeah try corewood if you can find some

[fluid cove]

cut down pine trees for them in the black forest

[lofty dagger]

uhm the roof is still here

do u think its working

[hidden gorge]

You need to progress further through the game to unlock stuff that allows you to build higher

[fluid cove]

if the tile next to it is at least orange, it will be fine

[wet lodge]

you can build pretty damn high with corewood already, imo

[livid widget]

It could be too high also. Foundation support diminishes as you go higher. Eventually you can't support it. Not sure on the tile limit. But after 5 or 6 the roof starts to become unsupportable

[lofty dagger]

loook screenshot

[fluid cove]

you will need to progress until you've beaten the 2nd boss to unlock the item to build with stones

[lofty dagger]

is that enough

[fluid cove]

should be

[lofty dagger]

the roof is still here

[livid widget]

Once it starts turning red you are nearing the limit

[lofty dagger]

well i think it should be fine i wont expand this house anymore

[worldly turtle]

ooooooof, death in HC is not about the gear, it's about the skills. Just got killed with 50 run, 50 bow :/ Unsure whether to just restart

[livid widget]

Stone works better for support

[lofty dagger]

do u think im good

[livid widget]

If the roof is holding then you are good?

[fluid cove]

build around a tree for maximum support kekw

[lofty dagger]

uhm look screnshot

do u think the smoke will go out

i have windows tho

[livid widget]

It's hard to see axu, but looks like probably not

[lofty dagger]

oh no

[livid widget]

It needs to be open. One way to do it is to use 2 meter poles to raise the section of roof and leave a gap

[lofty dagger]

do u think having windows is enough

there is also very very small gap but idk if its enough

[livid widget]

Windows is not enough

look at my screenshot to see an idea on how to add ventillation

[narrow cloud]

Yo guys, why did i never see anyone post about the patch on 06-03-2024? Seems weird that they didnt post about it. Very substantial patch as well

[livid widget]

Think of it like you would an actual house. Enclosed fire place with a chimney that vents outside. Except the chimney needs to be capped with a raise roof to keep the rain out

[wet lodge]

woah, I found a huge cave in a ice cavern, ive never seen this before

free fishing rod in it

[plush umbra]

Good find!

[livid widget]

Not an instance?

[split patio]

someone want to start a world whit me

[latent prawn]

whats the next planned update?

[wet lodge]

probably north...

[latent prawn]

is there a roadmap

[split patio]

someone want to start a world whit me

[wet lodge]

ive gone through 8 ice caverns and still dont have enough for the fenris set

[fossil delta]

The North, or frozen lands, are the last biome they need to do. They might do things to any of, or all of, the current biomes. So there is no need for a road map, the journey is almost over.

[livid widget]

I thought ocean was supposed to be one

[fossil delta]

I had the game crash, and while a couple of annoying things did happen, it also gave me a copy of my Iron Sledge. So now my wife has one to use too.

[fossil delta]

It is. But its not getting a full work up like the rest of the biomes. Its just got a couple of serpents and fishing, and we use it to travel.

Oh, and the Leviathans.

[latent prawn]

so once thats done the games finished?

[fossil delta]

Thats my understanding of their plans.

[latent prawn]

surely they keep updating it no?

[fossil delta]

They will fix what needs to be fixed, but they do have another project they want to do.

[latent prawn]

fair

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they are good people. I have actually gotten to do a group chat with several of them down in the voice channels. Nice people.

[buoyant ether]

i got sap but still no eikt thingie

ok am starting to love my tower 😤 practical and cozy

eitr exactor ? what was it

[supple jasper]

45° wood stairs are killing me

the other variant takes up too much space

the 45 one just can't be ascended without jumping

[livid widget]

I guess I was under the impression they planned to add more. Not the same as a complete new biome, but a major enhancement to oceans

[livid widget]

Eitr refiner takes 2 mats

[fair goblet]

Try clipping a 45° roof piece into it. That may fix the issue

[buoyant ether]

wdym?

[livid widget]

I mean it accepts two different mats to make the Eitr

Not just sap.

[fair goblet]

Have you unlocked the recipe yet? The eitr refinery needs black marble and black cores as well before the recipe will unlock

[buoyant ether]

am tryna figure out what i still need to unlock the recipe

ah, i found black cores but not marble

[livid widget]

you got the sap collector though? Sounds like it

[buoyant ether]

yeah i do

fucking seekers 😫

how high of a wall do i gotta build so that seekers cant get in ?

[livid widget]

Not sure. We haven't built much of a base there.

[halcyon blade]

I just had an excessive number of birds spawned in (I managed to kill around 74 in one sitting) when I returned to my base, and it wasn't at night or in rainy/stormy weather. Never seen that happen before.

[bleak flax]

is there a way to spawn in dvergr with a related ward with devcommands (no mods)?

^ I'm wanting to create a dvergr base and poplulate it with citizens for my dedicated server population to discover

[livid widget]

spawn dg_dvergrtown

looks like quite a few dvergr things

not sure that spawning things works on dedicated server without a mod tho. Based on some searching I did the other day.

[buoyant ether]

is krom a good wpn ?

[steel copper]

if you have decent sword skill, the krom special is very effective

[fossil delta]

I've seen it a few times. It is very rare, because with over 4,300 hours played, I have had it happen 5 times.

[buoyant ether]

how do i make bronze ?

[fossil delta]

Combine tin and copper at the forge.

Be sure to make nails.

[frail wagon]

black cores feel too rare man

[craggy kettle]

Hello everybody, any info on further ashlands updates about weapon upgrades? Feels kinda useless to have them since they wont level up higher than 2..

[bleak flax]

You wouldn't be able to do it with the dedicated server is up, I've been taking it down during off hours and running the world locally. If I spawn in an existing Ward with connected dvergr then I don't think I'd be able to build around it with the ward active, I'll have to try with nocost on

[frail wagon]

ashlands weapons will prob have upgrades when we get deep north

[craggy kettle]

that doesnt even make sense honestly.. Mistlands items got to lv4 with ashlands update which we did not even needed since we get to craft ashlands gears.. Now we will be able to upgrade them when we get deep north items?

Whats the point though?

[frail wagon]

lv2-5 items tend to be onpar with the next biome's weapons so

upgrading is mainly 'i wanna keep using this'

[craggy kettle]

frostner was the only weapon that we considered useful with further updates.. I dont use any mistlands item right now and I doubt I will be using any ashlands items with deep north update..

[azure yacht]

That's been the case since always...

You can't max out some gear until you reach the next biome.

And the enchanted weapons are the reason why the whole biome is manageable

[craggy kettle]

The thing is we get to upgrade it only after the point that we dont need it anymore

[azure yacht]

Calling them pointless is simply wrong

[frail wagon]

that... and magic

[craggy kettle]

I at least expected enchanted items to reach lv3 but 2?

[halcyon blade]

Also, you're going to be using gear from the previous biome for a little while anyway before you get gear from the next one. Not like it instantly becomes useless once you get to the next biome.

[merry pebble]

it was same with mistlands, whats your point?

[frail wagon]

and certin gear is just... always good?
Example is uhh the serpent scale shield

serpent scale shield isnt all that hard too make and is quite strong

[azure yacht]

And they could make the enchanted versions we have now not being available for the gear in the next biome.

Such as a DN sword not being able to have thunder enchantment for example, meaning that you might still use thunder nidhogg

[frail wagon]

i wonder what the DN gimick is gonna be

[craggy kettle]

enchanted crossbow is running out of durability before I run out of my rested buff. Thats my point.
