gives coal
It gives back coal. 1 trophy = 1 coal, 5 any wood = 1 coal, 10 of any other items = 1 coal.
100 greydwarf trophies = 100 coal is good!
Sounds extremely useless tbh
ahah, noah i usually do this ground level, no big deal, then go build AMAZING SWAMP TREEHOUSE for no reason
It really is not. If you have lots of gold, buy lots of fishing bait from Haldor and make lots of coal quickly.
works too mate, but I love to put smelter and kiln in the indestructible trees as soon as I have 2 iron for stonecutter
And all surplus trophies can be turned into coal.
works well with a greydwarf farm that
uh that's tempting, maybe next building project, but with lots of beams™️
if the trees are close enough you can build this with no iron, but it will be more grand if you also use connecting iron beams for stone floors
Hello does anyone have a phone wallpaper of the Ashlands boss ||fader||? I just beat it and I'm so hype but not seeing many good photos of him online
can i decontstruct boats?
punch it
yes with an axe, not with hammer
got it
ypu get resources back, can do it even faster then axe if you are in the 6th biome
[insert adroll here]
yeh, jk, already made some tree outpost with stone attached directrly on trunk (when i say beams, i mean useless beams for chaotic and cluttering decorations 😁 , long story)
sounds like a good story, also fair enough, decorations are never useless if pretty 🙂
at this point you'd need a slogan for it
ym, other than 🗣️ *...we make your beams come true...*🫵
something more teleshopping related perhaps
is there Valheim speedruns? kinda want to get over swamp quickly awful place to fight monsters
mmh i have to plan this properly ahahah
uhh, ||get iron for pick, go to mountain, locate silver with stagbreaker, become OP, ez||
eheheh, the best (worst?) is yet to come, but you'll see, with proper food, mead and gear swamps can turn your friends
||Frostner pre-bonemass is rather funny tho||
Swamp is my second fav biome can speed run but also iron is super important even later
And more fun to get there into tha other biomes
is it worth to walk on foot for a short distance for the swamp or go by boat for a long distance?
Both worth
Mountain is my No.1 followed by Ashlands and then Black forest
i posted something on #screenshots
go there and build a portal
pocket portals are a useful practice
but i still cant TP iron copper tin or bronze right?
True, but #spoiler#
I'm back to testing the stone drop rate, I want to settle if it's 33% or 40%. I need a larger number of swings for a consistent amount so that will take time.
just trying to get iron nails asap for a bigger boat
spoiler is done with || on each side
I know I didn’t want to type it out cause it’s a big spoiler
fair enough, even tho clicking on spoilers would be their fault
Yes but you know how people are haha
if you need mass stone go to plains, or is this just experimenting?
They are experimenting on ground stone farming
Going to Plains would defeat the point of the experiment.
that was why i was asking if that were to be a general experiment
Get back to us after 10000 swings 😛
I WILL.
gotta get those numbers right yk
if i stop steering the ship with the sails still on does it move or does it come to a stop? like if i had to bow something down when im sailing
Sails at half or full it will move still
aw thanks x
iirc it just keeps the sail down but doesnt steer, but will stop if no ones aboard
Speed one is paddling and if you leave rudder then it will eventually come to a stop slowly
On a additional note
If you jump of the boat it stops immediately
Also if the wind stops at half or full sail it will also stop
nope
No, but they can be destroyed by mobs
And the items can despawn if no crafting bench is near
Yes and no, if a monster destroyed it, parts left over will despawn, relatively fast if in deep water
Respawn 😂
theres a crafting bench in my docks...but the parts are missing and its a popular area for greydrawfs to hangout
what's the purpose of a cartography table?
the boat has to be in the circle of a workbench, and the mats could have sunk to the bottom of the ocean
multiplayer, when you use it, others can copy undiscovered parts from your map onto theirs and vice versa
Ty fixed
minor spelling mistcake 🔥
I would love to have gif perms right now
ah okay, i was about to say good thing i didnt waste the resouces for it but then again i can just deconstruct it
stickers work iirc
Nope
Not useful solo
well thy do, just need nitro for outter server ones
can buildings actually be destroyed by water?
eh, didnt test it yet
No, their health will go down to 50 percent and thats it
Wood goes down to half health by rain and water but doesn’t get destroyed
what if the building is in water?
Same
Same thing
okay good thanks
You will unlock new materials that are immune to this soon
eh
Not rly, with iron you can build with ||stone||
And even later you unlock even more
You can also build with iron, but it's best used together with other materials, as support
what does amber, ruby and amber pearl do?
You can sell them
You can sell it to traders for money
Regarding water damage
Is ||ashwood|| immune?
I haven't actually tested but I don't believe it is
so my base in the meadows but a greydrawf shaman somehow started attacking the walls
is that normal? i was afk too...
If it has seen something inside that it wants to attack, it will attack any build pieces that get in its way. Are there any gaps in your walls it could have seen through?
no no, i thought they only spawn in the black forest
Maybe the forest was moving
you beat the Elder, that unlocks GD Shamans and Brutes to spawn at night in the meadows
This is disabled after killing the elder
that makes sense, so things are going to be tense the more bosses i defeat..
It only affects spawns at night. Nothing is different during the day
yup, every boss unlocks both new raids and new night spawns
i like how black forest has all the resources to make an entire forge system so i could just build new bases and outposts here and there
i see...really hope trolls dont start spawning
spawning? no... ||raiding yes 😬 ||
If you have an atgeir you'll be ok
are the ||raids || random?
yup, every 46 mins has a 20% chanche of a raid happening, the type of raid will be random and picked from your possible raids (some raids are activated or deactivated by boss kills, others independent from boss progression)
killing the elder unlocks a lot of non-boss raids that will stay there forever regardless of further boss kills
there's a detailed wiki page about that, but of course lots of spoilers
is there anything after elder?
I recommend getting the surtling cores from the swamp tho
Alot easier than doing dungeons
Just mine under the spawner and let them die in the water
boss related raid changes ("forest is moving" is deactivated, "a foul smell from the swamp" is activated)
also Elder kill will unlock a lot of mob-related raids, those happen if you ever killed a particular mob in that world, or even if that mob died in that world regardless if it was you to kill it, those raids won't deactivate ever
what's forest is moving?
oh
does the wind always move in one direction
Some random strong mob dies of a random tree falling
Valheim: lets raid that guy with these mobs
No it changes from time to time and is also linked to the times
ok maybe you never had raids
yes i think so
Each raid will display a unique message at the top of the screen
For example The forest is moving is a greydwarf raid
i see..., trolls included?
oh ok, so, you beat the Elder, that one won't happen again, is a boss-related raid
Before Eikthyr: "Eikthyr rallies the creatures of the forest" (boars and necks, deactivated for you)
After Eikthyr: "The Forest is moving" (Greylings, GDs, Shamans and Brutes, deactivated)
Now you have the Swamp boss related raid, and ||troll raid, if a troll has ever died in that world||
i was barely at my base so probably why
i killed like 7-8 trolls and discovered an empty troll cave also what happens on the eikthyr raid? hostile deers?
i was partly wrong here, most mob-related raid will unlock later, not with Elder kill, but ||troll raid|| yes, it's up and going
eheh, boars and necks actually, no big deal, anyway you have it deactivated since you killed Eikthyr
Trolls have a message along the lines of „the ground is rumbling“ or smth like that
ah man, trolls might wreck my base easily I spent hours on it
how many of them? I can barely handle one at a time
You can always use the hoe and a bit of stone to completely secure it
it would look ugly 😭
From what I’ve seen 2-3
But I would go to the wiki for acurate info
You can also lure them away with you as the bait
i see, 2-3 trolls at the same time would be ridiculous, good thing I'm mostly travelling
As long as you dont hide inside they shouldn’t attack the base
On the world im playing on raids are deactivated to protect our builds
Thats also a option
would be cheaty imo
plus it's my first time, i should endure these raids
I like the spirit
it's basically like my shounen, since I'm pretty bad at the game
also it's best to kite them around until the raid is over, if you kill'em before that they will respawn, this goes forr all kinds of raid
oh wow okay, that's a very good tip
yup, i personally second the "official" reccomendation to play vanilla and normal settings at least for your first playtrhu
I heard drinking a love potion inside the dark forest base is a fun experience
👀
600 swings granted 202 stone
100 - 36
200 - 33
300 - 40
400 - 34
500 - 28
600 - 31
That's a proper 33% drop rate
This doesn't conclude it I will do 400 more
Did you hit multiple things with one swing?
terrain
does wind direction ever change...so annoying
what's the 2 speed for? i only ever use 1 and 3
if you want to go at a medium pace, good for navigating semi-rocky areas
changes a lot, speed 2 is half sails, i use it to lower the chanche of capsizing during heavy storms
Mining terrain for rocks is never worth it.
The wind changes are linked to time
You could try to sleep for more fortunate wind or just use speed 1 to paddle
The speed 2 is if you want ti manouver around stuff a bit saver but dont wanna go paddle speed slow
Science is always worth it!
If you want stone i would go to plains and mine the bottom of the high rocks
Put it in the wiki or smth
Im sure someone else also wants to know
There's been 4 years with no people asking I don't think anybody cares about terrain drop rates
I actually wondered about it a couple times
But never tested it
how do i paddle?
The speed 1 is always paddle
And wind doesn’t effect speed 1
speed 1
oh, i dont have to press anything?
thats perfect omg, paddle is amazing
just have to be careful bc i suspect night sailing is bad news
No, except if you want to turnaround
Backwards is also paddling btw
WHAT I CAN'T BELIEVE IT this is amazing where did you find this? @nocturne wolf
it is
I'm using the Unity Explorer mod to read the variables in-game
I digged around in unity too, do you know the object where this is stored?
Sailing at night or during storms has a chance of ||serpents|| spawning theyre fairly easy to kill and give awesome food but are definitely a threat to look out for
would the loot float
I found it as the 'spawn on hit terrain' object in a pickaxe's data
they only spawn in ocean, right?
The food yes
The other drop and trophy not
The „other drop“ gives you a very good tower shield
Yes its a fish
so if i sail on the coast line I should be good in theory?
Thank you so much :)
In theory yes
In praxis they can swim over to the coast
But if they do you can also collect the scales:)
In the ocean you could jump on them when they’re one shot with a drawn bow
But do not recommend that if you dont know exactly how
yes, just check biome name on the map, some very steep coastline bring the "ocean" biome very close to coast, rare tho
But if your close to the coast you can also just place a workbench on the coast and repair the boat when getting attacked
funfact: i was convinced that tombstones would sink in the ocean until i was 3-400 hours of playing in, very sweaty boat travels before that
this would be horrifying
lets say if hypothetically my boat breaks in the middle of the ocean
What are my chances of living?
Horrible
in the actual ocean? 0%
close to zero
near the coastline? quite high
Well im sure you could survive with enough meads and time 😂
okay got it, swimming in this game is non existent for some reason
No it isn't
It exists but consumes stamina
And in the middle of the ocean you simply dont have enough stamina
i mean you can't swim forever...
nope, very limited, and fast health consuming once you run out of stamina
why was it intended this way? so that we have to absolutely stick to boats?
Swimming is good for crossing rivers and lakes, but between islands you'll need a boat
I see
which better hardcore with map or no map
Nomap can add a level of immersion but is pretty hard
if you havent finished the game before, then you want/need map - and you really dont want to do hardcore on the first run
Im in a world with 2x loot and its already alot personaly i wouldnt go over 2
personally I like 1.5x loot on my more casual plays
mm discord flexing.
No map is really fun imo
yeah - i'm probably going to give this a go on a casual play to break from speedruns - i.e. the literal opposite of speed
How have the speedruns been going
a slowwalk eh?
my portal isnt working for some reason
Are you carrying metal?
Is it connected?
but not the one without a name at my house, i wonder if something broke my portal
Nope
That'll be why then.
the home portal is inside the house.. surely a mob wouldnt target the portal instead of the house itself
maybe you got the wrong name?
or maybe its connected already if there was no name in it
wait that is why 😭😭😭
ah frick
darned be thyself
if you aren't there, nothing can happen 🤔 maybe built a third portal with no name?
yep that's the reason
now I'm stranded..
is it just me or does the sea level rise at night
pretty sure its just kinda random with waves, never noticed anything tide-like
i see
like as soon as i go the opposite direction to the wind to fix my home portal the wind changes against me
Do you ever wonder if the devs use third party tools like the world map? Or do they have their own
that is Valheim sailing for you, the wind HATES you and you just gotta deal with it
I mean maybe? But they also have access to console commands and know the actual commands lol
There is a solution
||There is the boss buff of modder that gives you perfect wind ||
||for five minutes with a full cooldown||
Still believe moder buff should be a passive constant effect rather than 5 minutes
at least make it last longer
It’s sailing, it’s really not that op lol
more active-to-downtime-ratio
Boss effects dont work like that
-# all that spoiler marking for nothing
||stinky spoiler hater||
I forgot how to do spoilers tbh
|| at each end
||||test||||
Mark and the. Right click
On mobile L
On ios its also mark and then go to the end of the little popup options
Ah I see now thank you
In Spanish,the suffix 'Ito' means 'small', so a deathsquito is small death.
Which implies the existence of a larger and more deadly Deathsquito named Death
Makes sense considering the existence of mosquito in real life. It implies the existence of a bigger one named "mosqu"
Embed fail laugh at this user
not for us regular users, i would say "unfortunately" but think of the amount of spam if not..
It is unfortunate. I can't use my neck gifs 
yup, specific case is unfortunate, given the work of art #fanart message
discord together with Tenor are horrible when it comes to what they allow on their platforms. so can't have everyone allowed to embed stuff
and also the pictures people would post if they could 😬
Couldnt you mod people add those as official valheim stickers tho, or am i getting something wrong here?
I think Smiffe would ban those if he could.
I would ban ´non-valheim stickers
You can also create another character, go to your base and rename the portal as you need.
You cant realy give embed perms to specific links as far as i know
My name is Subjecthive
JUDGE-mental bees, I like em.
That bess got some fancy footwork
Bees? BEES?!
The makers of delicious honey.
Yoo subjecthive
Could i please have back my lowercase
“🌸 emel07 🌸”
Prettyplease 🥹
$3.50

that small coin emoji looks more like a tennis ball

ok, darn it, too few info about it, but widely celebrating spring myself, can i get flowers please?
-# for free, please?
If you can verify its spring in your hemisphere sure
i meant in general, it isnt in any emisphere
It's not Spring anywhere at the moment.
nods sagely
ook, sry
Hey mr.Subjecthive, would it be possible to obtain a knife in my name?
(i wont stab anyone, just need it for swordnatures on petitions)
I had to make a rhyme to get the flowers, lmao
If you can verify it's Halloween in your hemisphere sure
didn't know how it works, liked the thing, and generally felt handy a channel bound name so i can change it with friends outside the channel
but ok, nothing that important 🤷♂️
Uhhhh, i can DM you a spooky pic of my cat if you want
I'd rather not. That sounds cursed
Spooky cats are usually cute
Mid sneeze cat pictures look like horrors beyond human comprehension
So i do understand the fear
Now i wanna see 👀
sent the scary to you
hooray
thanked be thyne, man of the bees 
ahah, did i become a Derek follower?
You made the right choice
Are the bees happy
Persuade me not to immediately retract the flowers right now after that
The bees are always happy
cat disrespecter
Sometimes the bees are eepy
no,that's MORE than expected, love it
You're a Spring follower
Sometimes eepy, always happy 
Subject loves his powers
AHEM, Subjecthive 🐝 🔥 
What if they need more space?
✨go to bed✨❤️
Erm actually it's 10 14 am
Timezones are made up by the government to keep you under control
Merry timezone, now back to valheim 
Erm actually it's 4:15pm
Let's not delve into that
☝️🤓erm actually its 4:15pm
I think y'all are gaslamping me
gaslamping isnt a word
No they just want you to keep buying clocks
It's always been a word
(That's the joke)
None of this is related to Valheim.
The king has spoken, after me
nah just your imagination, never heard of gaslig- uh gaslamping
Ummm no... I think they are not happy when in mistlands... But that's weird as their "slightly" bigger cousins do like it there
Haven't tried, but I imagine they wouldn't approve the Ashlands either xd
on what hosting platform i can host server with mods to play with my friend?
yup, you first cast then sit on steering wheel, keep the line close to you (right mouse button still work) and steer around paddling in desired area
the fish will automatically hook, just you have to practice keeping slow (slower than paddling) by playing with paddling fwd, back and off
Does the fishing roof end just move with me?
otherwise the line will break
yup, you just have to slow immediately down when it catches sometning
Copy i try it soon
I need pufferfishes and troll fishes
to save stam / prevent line breaking
Can i jump of the boat to stop it? 😂
Or does swimming cancel the reeling
puffer is easy, if you go in the ocean with misty bait, tuna and coralcod won't eat and you'll "filter" just puffer, troll same along bf coasts, but they're close so also fishing from beach is viable
nah, it will unequip your fishing rod alltogether, you have to stay sit in steering oar place until fish is reeled up
idk, maybe it's just me but i found this tech very convenient and much more productive than regular fishing, ofc "fish trap" buildings would be best, but i don't like em*
-# even if you can put beams on them
Fish trap building? Elaborate
Do you mean the leveling farm or actual fish traps
is there a way to zero the rudder
What exactly do you mean with zero?
as in put it in the middle so i can just afk for a bit
Just turn it back until the yellow is gone?
that doesnt stop it from turning completely
Exit steering, jump of the boat for good measure and then go back to steering without changing the direction
leaving the boat doesnt reset the steering
It should if you jump off enough that the boat stops immediately
but then i'd have to get wet lmao
And that is a problem?
nah not the greydwarf farms, they use sloped roofs and floors at about water level to trap the fish that would go inside with waves
what if a serpent spawns and i gotta kill it
Swimm back to the ladder fast
Jumping in the water is actually a reliable way to stop fast when serpent farming
You wouldnt know about it since you will be afk according to your own words 😄 + its only for 2 minutes and you are still perfectly capable of killing them while wet 🙂
also you won't get to sail on a straight line even with 0% steering, wind matters, generally wouldn't reccomend to sail afk
With the feather cape and enough jump skill you can stop the boat without getting wet (very hard in multiplayer tho)
I do that sometimes 😂 (on known terrain tho) - just pop moder and you can go take a leak, grab a coffee watch some YT whatever
I but on some music and start dancing for the feeling
ok with moder i would do that too
Is there a chat/channel to talk to others about joining their worlds/games? I don't have a group to play with anymore and miss it.
(lfg stands for 'looking for group')
Thank you much!
NP
I still don't know what the two numbers mean when saving the game. The second one is surely the time it took to write to the disk, the first one is usually very low for me (0.03 to 0.05). I wonder what it could be
Hi everybody,
New here, wanted to ask a question but not sure if this is the correct chatroom. If not, please direct me to the correct one. I´ve just created a server for me and my friends to play on so we dont have to have a dedicated host. We now want to transfer over the the world we have been playing on from my Xbox consol. We did what we thought would work. Download Xbox Game Pass for PC on my buddies computer. Problem is the following: Even tho I am logged into my xbox account his worlds appear in the game files. No character but his worlds. Is there another way or are we doomed?
Thx
I forgot to bring iron to ashlands, its possible to find iron in there?
Yep, but it is not needed if you found the ||stone portal|| already 🙂
i didnt find any.... just got int
Ah, then dont worry too much about it 🙂
and was greeted by 2 stars and 1 star mb
Ooooofff... That is unlucky
Mistwalker is better, but yeah, even frostner is still viable 🙂
but they spawn like that or we have to build then by using ashlands resources? i forgot the iron and copper, so i cant make a shield yet
You will find materials for it 🙂
So, anyone have tips for building underwater?
Hi! Looking for the queen in no-map mode. anyone got any tips? such as... does her cave face a certain way or is it random?
feels fkn impossible but maybe one day Ill find her 😄
Damage vise Mistwalker is better but for safer play Frostner wins, knockback against multiple warriors is very useful.
For damage the silver sword is better
Meh, knockback is overrated 😛 (but i accept your point, i just dont like it)
knockback is the best stat because you launch greylings further
I understand, I disliked knockback earlier but learned to appreciate it and adjusted it into my playstyle. 👍 Jump secondary attacks are nice.
If you found a vegvesir - you can get a direction. Yes underground in a dungeon - but then you can kinda "save" the direction by equipping a hammer and pointing the direction with a build piece of your choice (the build piece and the orientation should remain when you leave the dungeon)
I never play clubs primary - but it's nice to keep the frostner just "in case"
And it's a nice option for the full-mage build to carry around "just in case" (polearms are great here too)
Hello all! Question - about two year ago I ran a server - and we did some major terraforming and server started running very poorly. Has there been optimization done in the last two years that allows for better performance while terraforming (dedicated srever)
yes! thank you- great tip tho I did figure that out already. finding queen is kinda just like finding mist dugneon? looks identical from afar? or does it have any quirks?
follow up - how long did it take you to find queen compared to other objectives/bosses?
It resembles the "cave in the mountain" type dungeon yes but it usually has a little bit bigger spikes and 5 instead of 3 I think
I actually once mistook the queen's liar as a dungeon from afar (I was looking for my 1st dungeon barely entering mistlands xd)
aight cool man. thx
I know the trick, I was tempted to go for the full no-map playthrough but didn't have enough time to get into it that bad lately - so I didn't even try yet xd
As i'm thinking to myself that for the no-map playthrough I should have enough time and peace of mind to actually immerse myself into the world enough to not get lost
oh you have not yet completed a no-map run? I thought you were taslking about no-map ashlands the other day 😄 how far are you?
I'm sure it's possible but not with my play hours lately (0.5-1h once per few days)
yeah I get you
With no-map? I'm planning/thinking about starting it some day in the future xd
Hi. Is there an official valheim server that is open 24/7?
All servers are run by players. You could try to find one in #1024264966712340510
About Ashlands - yes, about mechanics/game balance - yes, about no-map - u might mistake me with someone 🤔
I want to play on a server that is open 24/7. Life will go on even if I'm not there. Anyone who wants can join whenever they want 😦
ah its all good. too many late night conversations
Do you have a recommended Valheim server that is open 24/7?
So I have both bronze and fine wood, but still cant see a recipe for cultivator. Am I doing something wrong?
you have bronze ore
not bronze ignot
Cultivator is made with core wood, not fine wood
Oh, thanks.
Is there any information on when/if the game would come to PlayStation
No unfortunately.
Damn 😦
Also are trolls attracted by the noise of trees being chopped down?
I swear that everytime I start deforesting operation one shows up.
Everything is attracted to the noise you make 🙂
Mining and chopping make long-range sounds
But its always trolls that come after me for some reason.
anybody know why Valheim push the temperature of my GPU to 75° while during the idle fase, like now that I'm chat on the second monitor and Valheim still up on the first monitor the temperature drop to 58°?
Unlimited FPS ON and VSinc off ... that's why 😅
why is silver ore not falling apart when its completly in air?
It will as soon as you break one piece of it
If it has no connection to the ground below (sometimes a few pixel gap is not enough - the "hitboxes" and textures are not a perfect match)
one of the ore will, until you break it
Greydwarfes come as well - but the trolls you notice more as they are more dangerous (and helpful - they just wanna give you a hand in that deforestation quest)
75C is nothing for a GPU 🤔
yes, but 63.8 is better 😁
But the problem was the fans which runs at high speed making a lot of noise!
but airflow and the ability for your computer case to exhaust heat is a big thing
regularly remove dust in the case. (every 6 months atleast)
don't push your case into a corner or under something with limited space so heat just builds up
My airflow is fine 😁
what's behind that nice and dust-free lookin case?
The wall? 😂
I have my PC on a piece of smooth wood, instead of the carpet, to help with airflow for the fans on the bottom of the case which are intake
yeah. so how does heat dissipate from the wall? 🤔
just so the heat have a way to escape from behind the PC
more people than one could guess actually have their PC's against back against a wall or a corner, so heat can build up and the case will be very warm in the rear
nice stuff, but the reflex on the glass makes some wierd effect 😂
the 3 fan on the bottom suck air and push it on the top (few I know)
the 3 fan on the top spit all the flow out.
the 2 fan on the fron suck air inisde an all the other CPU and the one on the back spit it out.
I'm 55yo and my knoledg about PC is coming from 386DX 50Mhz, I'm a bit experienced about it 😁
yes, C64, then amiga 500, then amiga 2000, then jump directly to 386DX 50 cause at time middle-class was wealthy 🙄
nice nice
I remember that I've purchased Amiga 2000 to play at Who Framed Roger Rabbit which require an HDD 😂
I only have a 486 but havent tried booting for a while
Awesome!
Sure it runs!
Those machine was rocksolid!
You could play at Sensible Soccer 😁
I got pacman as a .com file 😄
Instead I have to use a virtual machine to play with CIV 3... because Win11 didn't like it at all 🙄
😦
I want to boot it now to see what software is on it but its 2 continents away haha
👀
Yea, it's fun, I've found a very old HDD and I laugh a lot when I've discovered the old bookmarks that I had on Netscape broweser 😂
Another game that Win 11 dislike is this one: https://i.postimg.cc/kX7p3JDR/92660d68-0323-4120-b5eb-ebcc3a8d63b9.jpg
I have that one 🙂
😁👍
Legendary game!
Also got a PC with Diablo 1 and stuff like that
I should have Eye Of Beholder 1 and 2 somwhere
I doubt developers will see my compliments but the queen fight is really well done for solo! its sooooo god damn spooky and tense
I'm sure Smiffe will pass that on.
does anyone know if devcommand timeskip applies to timer for taming a lox
I get a jump scare every time she lunges out of the mist, it’s a pretty fun fight!
it is! an despite many inconveniences the fog offers (i personally dont mind, my fav biome) the mist or fog in that fight is fantastic
Queen = one giant bug irongate fix
Anyone need assistance fighting something?
they're outsourcing the problem to odin, who then in turn outsources it to you
I built my barley farm over an old fueling camp. Every time I go there it plays the war drum music. Is there a way I can get rid of that and have normal plains music?
I’m afraid not
Good thing is just a rectangle of cultivated land with a stone wall around it. I'll look somewhere else if I ever want to build a better plains base I guess.
I don't know where else to ask this question but does the black forge not have a 6th level yet?
Yes - I agree 🙂
correct
Has there been any projection on the release of Deep North? Obviously not a date but maybe a month or a season or something?
no
Mountains I have found on my world are so extreme. It's either super small or very steep and massive.
There are 3-4 especially tall mountains in the master map. But yeah, there are definitely some significant variances
A howling cavern is located on a really steep mountain. Im still having a hard time finding Moder. I found one but its surrounded by mistlands so I need to find a new vegvisir
Or be brave and Run like a freakin rabbit through it
this a feature
idk queen is bug bro
nah it's an intended boss
Queen is one giant bug man idk
the queen doesn't have particularly impressive vocals -- I think you might be mixed up a bit
Honestly, this was one of my best/most favorite fights too!!
Is it a large portion of Mistlands surrounding it?
i am not mixed up at all queen is just one giant bug
Be a man, run through it fr
Had to run through a plains yo get to my elder boss
Truly a classic copper armor is mosquitoes
Hey I'm going for Moder. Can you not dig underneath their altar anymore?
You can’t directly dig under Moder’s altar, more next to it
It’s half half, you can dig in a little bit
thanks! Is there a side I should go for? I just don't wanna dig the whole thing out haha.
Too risky running in blind.
Nah, i do it all the time
life's not worth living if you don't take risks
and it's not like you're risking your life savings on red... just a few skill points
Should I play this game solo? I always think it's best with some accompany because idk the game that well
This game is fun solo and with friends, but 100%, more enjoyable with 3+ people!
I don't know how to build is the problem I wanna try solo so bad
lol i have the opposite problem i want a buddy to run with
nothing's stopping you
the only way to get better at building is by building
trial and error, just play around with it for an hour or 2
you can put something together
I remember the last time I played I built a really nice Abbey on Xbox, only for the game to have an issue and wipe all buildings from my save the next day. Then I lost access to the game lol. I should really try getting the spare cash for it.
Morgen gjall.
I mean, respectful financial situations aside, its like 2 burgers
Yesh
Valheim costs the equivalent of two burgers from mcdo or so.
(btw im not american idk 🥲 )
That's news to me. I didn't know people still eat Mc burgers still
unfortunately
Tastier to just grill your own meat.
I just mean, for what you get, Valheim is incredibly affordable and worth it
Probably healthier as well but sometimes you just don't have the time.
I don't get a burger there but a wrap or a salad though.
Oh absolutely, I'd love to grab it and a few other releases. The issue is I work for my father, but he's been indisposed of for the last couple months for health reasons.
when you do not have the time there is always the option of intermittent fasting over borderline poison food
Just sear the outside (this works for steak as well) then cut the meat thin. Put it in the fridge then just cook the lesser cooked area in a pan for an easy meal.
How's Ash Lands btw? I heard they added a ton of stuff in that update, like summoning creatures and stuff.
We've been able to summon in mistlands but ashlands introduces trolls and vines
Doable when you are home at a reasonable hour but that sadly isn't always the case.
They are hostile or friendly when you summon them?
The trolls are hostile to everything, all other summons are friendly
Salmon cuts are a good alternative. Wrap in foil, cook for like 10-15 minutes, drizzle lemon juice on it while cooking and done. Good meal done quick.
Oh boy, Fader fight is incredible awesome... 🤩
That sounds awesome, aside from the troll that likely can murder you.
It can murder you, but it also murders everything else 
I see, it's an uncontrollable nuke essentially.
Only if you're not being careful with it
Probably a fun tool to use in PvP inside enemy bases.
It creates an explosion when it spawns which will destroy just about anything, which is useful for mining
Done that as well, I have a ton of quick meal options at home but we, the wife, the kids and I, aren't always home at a reasonable hour and then a mcdo, quick or other fastfood thing can really help.
We try and avoid it as much as possible though, it has been months since we have done any fastfood.
Are summons a viable playstyle in this game? I've only briefly played a long time ago thanks to Gamepass, so I never really dabbled in magic since I fought everything physically.
I haven't used much magic but it's best to use a combination of summons and elemental magic instead of only summons
Skeletons not so much they are a good distraction though.
Trolls can pose a threat to you but they are pretty good to use.
Vines kick ass!
I'm guessing most summons are weak?
Vines? I've never heard of those before.
They're stronger versions of the roots that the elder spawns
Oh cool, so you can Larp as a Druid.
Trolls are very powerful as are vines but skeletons and their ai are lackluster, they are very good as cannon fodder and distraction but to kill something you are better of using elemental than the skeletons, the extra damage they bring if you have the eitr to spare is certainly welcome but as main dmg dealers not so much.
They are from the staff of the wild in ashlands.
Neat. When I get the game again I'll have to try to get those. If I can reach the boat building stage again lol.
skellies are amazing on VH
at what blood lvl?
I like to have them at like 40 or higher but they scale quite well on VH compared to normal or hard
Whats VH?👀
Very Hard combat difficulty
i have 35 blood lvl, triying now
just now they all went into lava and died
they get pushed back too much and miss their attacks, i have to spent a lot of eitr just reshielding them
this is eitr i couldve spent on vines for example
They are not the brightest
But especially with the blood shield they can distract most enemies for quite a bit
maybe if all skeles are archers? but then i gotta roll for that
Archers are only 20% chance i wouldnt bet on it
Usualy i just spawn the skeletons when im not fighting
And they follow me and go die to the first enemy that attacks us
they all died to 1star charred warrior and an archer and i didnt have enough eitr to rebubble them fast enough
yea dont waste time using skeles
sry leng
I love me some skellies but for damage dealing I'll stay with embers.
Skellies make everything much safer though.
Im having issues with rare lags, when game freezes for a fraction of a second many times. It usually starts when i discover new space, where i had never been. This is a link to to my graphic settings, could someone tell me which of those should i lower? https://imgur.com/a/Ltj3Pci
Valhiem is more CPU intensive than graphics intensive; the fact you lag when new places are discovered tells me your CPU is choking perhaps; you are not running any other processes are you in the background?
only chrome browser
actually i have a new laptop and maybe there is a way for me to overclock my cpu a little
Chrome can still use a surprising amount of resources; are you playing full screen or windowed?
Skellies are good distractions. But better leave summoning them during the heat of a battle.
you could click the link i've send. Im playing full screen
my cpu is I5-12450HX
hi
I see what you mean; yeah that cpu is fine, shouldn't need to overclock it.
You could try and cap your fps to 60; but I would also pull up task manager and see if your CPU is getting close to full usage or if it's only partially getting used when you experience the spikes
Also, similar to a lot of paradox games which are cpu intensive, the more you "reveal" in Valhiem, the harder your CPU is going to run; as it 'places' assets while you explore and move into unrevealed areas
is there a build limit on the Y axis
my things are randomly breaking...
and im only on the third floor
Wouldnt that be the Z axis? 🤔 Anyway, it doesent matter much in which direction you build, the stability is calculated based on number an type of pieces comming from a "grounded" piece
Try using core wood 🙂 you can build longer pieces with it than with normal wood so you will be able to build higher.
In swamps you can also build other stuff that will let you build WAY higher
Place the beams for stability and use the normal walls
core wood breaks toofor some reason
As Emel said, also you can layer the beams to make walls 🙂
Place the big beams from the ground up
You have to start from ground and go upwards.
Correct me if im wrong but the pieces always take the stability of a connected piece with the highest one
You can just add the beams additionally
hopefully this works
yea i thought so too but mby not #valheim-help message
Meh, i am just used to Z being vertical from milling operations 🙂
whats that
Machining, done on milling machines, X axis is left and right, Y is front to back and Z is up and down 🙂
(Well actually its based on the direction of spindle really, but this is the way they are usually set up)
Maybe it is Z is height idk tbh I presume XYZ with Y being height because that’s how I’ve known it in other games
Z axis all depends on your reference plane
Like I’m half certain when you use dev commands to tp somewhere you do type 5000,y,5000 but the last time I used this command was sometime last year
With y being blank so the game tp you on surface
Apparently there is no "standard" for XYZ in game dev?
It is entirely possible that the Y is height and not Z 🙂 I just thought its weird since i am used to something else
You know what ima test it rn
There is really no standard for XYZ in anything
Depends on the math you are using
If you lay that sheet down then its left and right + front and back 😉
It can be that, or z can be vertical, x comes into the page, and y comes away from the page
Yeah but you don’t say the front of the page you say the top of it the back of the page would be the part you can’t see
Organic chemistry also uses a different xyz axis
Anyway it seems i started another derailment of valheim-chat 😅 i think we should either go to general or just stop
In ochem you do use in front of the page as correct conventional terminology
The in game teleport command is go to [x,z] implying Y is the vertical coordinate
Valheim is made in Unity so Y is vertical
The comment in that post says the same
when player teleports. we "stick them" to the highest point, that is still attached to the ground
hence no need for Z (height)
now im even more confused, so Z is height?
In almost any plan i work with at my its pretty standard that x is east and west, y north south and z as height
At least where im from its pretty much standardised
"[coordinate systems] A pair of values that represents the distance from an origin (0,0) along two axes, a horizontal axis (x), and a vertical axis (y). On a map, x,y coordinates are used to represent features at the location they are found on the earth's spherical surface."
Hey, anyone up for a game?
Yeah done that, just asking if anyone online now
Which is highly redundant then...
Idk it differs for me almost all the time, chemistry has a different xyz convention then math
Even topology used a different xyz convention then multi var calculus did
But most people are used to RHR convention which is what you described
But there is no standard defined at all
i always thought it was width, height, depth, which lines up with what Smiffe says
Just depends on what topic you are using
Length, width, and height are three key parameters that comprehensively describe an object's spatial characteristics.
And the reference frame you draw them in isn’t necessarily strict
You can use any coordinate system as long as you stay true as you go
Coordinating systems are very much choose your own adventure and use whatever benefits your analysis or calculations
while rather woolley i agree on those points xD
If you’ve done any sorta physics you certainly can agree that sometimes it makes sense for down to be + instead of negative
But I digress 
I think the key point here is that the start of the conversation was about world coordinates
But in general you are correct
Yea I was just being a pendantic sob 
Never heard that word before lmao
I am so ready for the North... guess I"ll just make a new fish market while I wait.
Just don’t stock it with salmon!
#screenshots message @tribal trench You will get a bit more info about this in ashlands 😉
hmmm ok
is there a mod that allows me to dig a hole in vertical stone? rather than destroy all the stone above the stone i destroyed, im trying to make something inside a mountain
oh sorry, thanks, doesnt seem that channel appeared for me
Is the mods discussion the best place to discuss all things related to Valheim mods?
There is also a special channel for #mods-issues and #mods-screenshots
Thank you I will post in the mod issue and see if I can find help.
Best melee weapon type?
there is none
use whatever weapon that calls for the situation
The only melee weapon that kinda lags behind are battleaxes, but even then they are perfectly useable and have a niche
So far spears seem to be most effective for me except against skeletons of course
Yup spears are good
Less range*
What
Spear primary: 1.9m
Sword primary: 2.4m
Sword secondary: 2.7m
more mobs have pierce resistance than slash resistance, swords are generally better against everything in the round iirc
In the animation, the spear is held from the middle so the attack only has half of the length of the spear. If you want a melee weapon with long reach, use an atgeir.
The primary attack’s fast speed makes up for it and you can hit enemies from further with the secondary
Ok
Only question is why is the spear held by the middle...
Kinda dumb, beats the whole purpose of using a spear
Why does it matter?
Idk I just always thought the whole idea of a spear is its long reach 🤷🏻♂️
Have to agree lmao.
the way it's held is balanced like that so that it can be thrown, otherwise it's a larger discussion about pike vs spear vs polearm
But hey, at least the spear outranges knives 😎
because it feels and looks awful
I don’t see anyone complaining about the range on knives but everyone hates on the spear with more range 
think it's cause you expect knives to have a short range, spears you don't
I guess we always have to compromise some realism for the sake of balance... 
pokey stick go brrr xD
Exactly this lol
Why does a game need to be restricted by realism?
except you don't have to compromise, there are tons of other solutions
Personally I wouldn't call having more range on a spear a restriction, but as I said I accept the compromise...
Other than that I feel like this game got lots of immersion
Like how the comfort mechanics kind of forces a lazy builder like me to actually put more effort into it 
I think it’s important to note that there is a difference between realism and expectations 🤔 spears are expected to have longer range because they’re intended to be long-ranged weapons. It’s a surprise to a lot of players when spears have such short range. I don’t have a dog in the fight though, just wanted to throw my two cents in the hat 🪙 🎩
I actually think the comfort mechanic is the single most revolutionary things Valheim has done, it’s so good! The whole diet system affecting stats is extremely cool too
I honestly never felt like the spear flies unrealisticly far
Well it is an expectation of at least a certain level of realism...
Semantics, but yeah I get it! Believability is important too. Example, trolls aren’t realistic. But you expect them to do a lot of damage.
Really think we’ll see food affecting stats in a lot of survival games moving forward, it’s my understanding that Enshrouded has adopted a similar system 🤔
what do you mean "moving forward"? hasn't that always been a staple of survival games?
Oh has it? Maybe I haven’t seen any games using it before 😅 can you provide an example?
from my pfp: don't starve
Ahhh never played it unfortunately 🙂 good to know, thanks!
I actually really like the trolls. They's damn scary, they can come out of nowhere and smash you to bits
And how they can smash all the trees around them while trying to get you
Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge.
Yeah
They are good woodcutters. I appreciate their work.
I admit they're quite easy to fight if they don't catch you off guard
My only possible complaint is that they don't become stone in sunlight lol
lolll
Shouldn't it be..
Dodge, roll, jump, dash, and dodge
I wouldn't be quoting a movie if I changed it to that.
Jumping isn’t very useful against trolls 
backpedal, loose arrow, repeat
lol on this point, but for balance, they are mostly found in caves and dense forest where there isn't much sunlight to speak of
TRUE
damn seeker is such a cool name for a monster
its so ominous
day 1 Mistlands they really lived up to the name as well, chased you endlessly right across the biome xD
The screech as they're jumping through the mist at us is jump scare stuff
Q, i would like to build my first big base on an island
is it a good idea with the storm and big waves or i can somehow stop the waves from reaching the builds\
The only solution is building higher
Raise terrain, use a elevated stone or iron beam structure
an inlet island or lake island will have less of an issue also
would gladly show you but cant post a screenshot
i posted it
but idk if u can determine how is the island, bcs i didnt know u need to w8 half hour to post second screenshot
looks like an inlet island, you shouldn't have too much trouble with waves, depends how far it is from Ocean biome and how naturally high it is
You can post multiple screenshots in one post btw but that island seems good for a base
The copper deposits often just drop rocks wtf
Yeah copper not guaranteed from each node it’s random
it looks, for now I layed out 13x13 wood planks(big ones) and still have space on north side of the island
Aw man got my magic ass handed to me in Ashland’s again
I think im just gonna stick to melee
Rough being so squishy huh
I just wanted to gather some food stuff and instead got an onslaught of enemies
Melee feels so easy in comparison
I know what I did wrong I was tryna run the enemies around the vines and was wasting too much stamina and eitr to recover so the morgen clapped me
I’m just not sure how I could have played it right
I find mageplay very easy, but despite that I still prefer melee tbh.
I've been testing some mageplay now and I've grown quite fond in Fragment staff. It's very good single target damage dealer.
Yeah fracture staff is my favourite weapon so far, works amazing against large enemies, what food are you running?
igod WE TALKED ABOUT THIS. you need to give that staff to thor and use ember
Ashlands/Mistlands feast, Seeker aspic and Marinated greens has worked really well. I'm just testing and leveling some elemental magic for my deathless dude lol.
I find ember is good for groups of enemies and fracture is good against enemies like Valkyrie
The fire damage from all the clusters of the Frag staff hitting the target is much higher than with Ember staff.
well whatever i tested it and its garbo alright
those smaller clusters dont even hit
2 at the same time with added golems wolves and drakes is even more fun xD
I’ve been mostly training my magic skills in plains and can get like 200 DoT on the berserkers and lox with fracturing
whats the highest dmg number u've seen?
Well, over 200 easily against Lox since they are weak against fire.
In Valheim code Y is height. That is because Unity does Y as height.
But you are right, you stick to the ground needing only two coordinates (X and Z).
In many other game engines like Unreal Z is height.
It’s so confusing
well yes yes. we use Z and X. because the devcommand to teleport is for irongate developers only really. not for players to abuse 😄
I got 188 fire dot damage against the Queen with Frag staff and 95 with Ember staff.
7 shots with both.
I think the highest damage possible is around 2100 iirc
rly?? my tentacle hit a slime for 2k
why do u think its 2.1k
Nevermind I didn't recall correctly, it's about 3900
why do u think its 3.9k
There's quite a few posts about it on the valheim reddit, and many reference this video https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8sY2bo2FF5I?feature=share
big
I wonder if the devs leave devcommands in the game at 1.0 and leaving EA, or sometime later, basically at the point where they are not needed to test things anymore
some things are really useful especially for Admins on a server, I also would like something like being able to hide the online status and have character model invisible as an Admin, which I have used often in the past in other games, helps catch cheaters, I think I did put that in #suggestions at some stage
they can just cheat with mods, devcommands are insanely useful for testing issues some of which could be unforeseen well past 1.0 and they aren't accessible by default anyway
I doubt they remove that, there's a lot of sandbox elements players utilize with those commands.
it's a 👎 from me
for what a thumbs down?
removing commands
I want to keep them too and even add something to it to make Admin / server owner job even easier
Like if Admin can hide online status in the F2 screen its easier to catch people breaking rules for instance, and if Admin doesn't annouce they joined etc, but I don't know if that would also make cheat mods stronger potentially, not sure to be honest I don't exactly know how it all works
ppl can already enter a server invisibly and use modded commands to wreak havoc
we've been round and round on the cheating issue, i think where we're at is the best it's going to get, you always get bad actors and folk wanting to workaround or break any rules
in a group server setting it just sucks lol, but for a primarily single player game if they want to "cheat" in solo play the only person's fun they are ruining is their own and their own immersion
Damn, I chopped down 6 trees inside my walls, each one tipped towards my wall and did damage to it, what are the chances...
should be pretty low if you had your back to the wall each time
I did, and I tried to push them away but it rolled along faster
oof xD
the only other tip i know for getting trees to fall away from you rather than towards you is to chop it higher up
It's not a big deal really, it's just me sitting there like 😐 "really?"
Any advice on where to set up first base? I'm thinking near a non-wave water section, in flat meadows, next to Black Forest?
Just trying to discern if the trees are magnetised to the walls, or if I'm magnetised to unluck 😄
Central Meadows is ideal, it's annoying to deal with Black Forest enemies while building, especially some of the more formidable ones
anyone looking to start a fresh new world? (NAE, Mic)
eh, blame the wind xD players in boats do it all the time xD
I would try to find something near a large lake of sorts that has clear access to the ocean.
@Omni I see. By central meadows, I assume you mean the spawn meadows?
I mean more centered with plenty of meadows spacing around it
never be affraid to build multiple bases & outposts 🙂
just away from any other biome borders, doesn't matter where the meadows is
within sight of black forest is good, next to water is a good idea because you may want to bring copper/tin mined nearby to your next base (possibly dismantling all your stations for a total move)
good point, thanks. what about a second base? I assume a meadows/plains Second/more permanent base is ideal for barley and flax?
for farming purposes Plains is king
What's ideal is tricky, many people will have differing opinions, personally I treat my Meadows as my main, and build up many secondary bases where needed.
some like a spot where they are at multiple biome borders for a mix of mobs fighting each other and variety of loot
there's different strategies, you could move everything as you go to the next biome (takes time but saves on resources), you could make a new base in each biome (this gives you a chance to make each one different since you will have access to new resources every time. some make a "main" base which is what i did this time around. I had a basic base until I reached the swamp, now i'm making my "main" base in a tiny meadow surrounded on 3 sides by plains, one side a super iron rich swamp. the idea is the base will be useful for future biomes
farming will necessitate using a meadow or black forest until you get to the plains at which point you could move the farm or just use two
alternatively an island with portals to everywhere is just as viable a strat
long live portal islands
its not possible to build on leviathans right?
it depends what soundtrack do you like most, i really like the meadows soundtrack 🙂
thats a really good point haha
Haha, I havn't had the audio on in sometime, I enjoy melodic mixes of Zelda music at home in the meadows, and Wardruna when I'm out for blood
🤘
why is ||kvastur|| outside the house?? he's just beating things up out there? is this normal?
Yeah sometimes. It will respawn if it dies.
That's what he's supposed to do. He's the guard there.
He’s cleaning
🧹
i just have never seen him like this, he's really out for blood
He ran out of bloodstains to clean so he needs to make more
didnt realize he was such a bamf
Please water this plant
Dumb question: Does valheim have an ending? Can you 'beat' the game?
Right now the best you can do is complete the sacrificial stones
An ending will come with deep north in 1.0
no ocean update planned?
I wonder if a troll trap could stop a morgen of if it would just be destroyed hmm
It should work like it does with anything else
A little question about parrying, if I understand it right, successfull parrying is influenced by weapon or shield used, max HP, but not armor. Damage taken after succesfull parry is influenced by armor though, is that correct ?
Considering going trought misland with fenrir armor if it doesn't impact my capacity to parry
I mean, the Wiki answers your question, I would have thought.
english isn't my mothertongue so I'm not sure if I got it right, hence my question
Whether you can block an attack or not is not determined by your armor, but it will affect the small amount of damage you take
Ok thanks !
Not that we know of.
yes
oh well it was just a rumor anyway
Building Underwater is possible, rising ground in ocean biome also
Yes.
Hmmm, is it possile to post images in the chat?
i'm gonna actually tweak if i die one more time to a troll + Sea serpent duo again (WHY the serpent is that close to shore idfk but my corpse is across like 3 islands)
(yes i'm relatively early-game rn, black forest, yet to defeat the elder)
the power that a proper boat gives you is so liberating but then... huh those fins are getting... awfully close.....
You must shoot them
Really hard
Literally rage quit for now cause I locked in super hard and played for like 10 hours straight
But I will for sure try again tomorrow
My corpse is kinda in the water and trolls are just IMMUNE to drowning I guess?? So I keep getting bodied every time I try to recover my loot 😭
can i remove the cloud when i build
Wait actually yeah that'd be handy asf lmk if you can as well
there's a greydwarf spawner near my base, is it possible to turn it into a farm while being in bronze age?
or do I need post iron materials
Its a bit tricky to do a greydwarf farm but you do not need any post iron things, except if you want it to be an automatic farm, tamed 2 star creatures from the next biome can be super helpful with that
There are alot of different kinds of farms
What you can always do is just dig a big hole under it
You can then use pets to do the killing or you can also use ||pufferfishes|| on item stands once you find the trader for the ||fishingrod||
I recommend to check out YouTube guides if you plan on building one
Does anyone know a high pop server where ppl live in a village or summin? I finished the game and now wanna be a farmer
You can also create a post in #1024264966712340510 to search a server to join
Yeah - that’s fine 👍
Guys everytime I start a playthrough I get easily discouraged because of the lack of experience how do I overcome that
Short answer: by getting experience.
Kidding a little, but what lack of experience you mean? Combat? Building? Progressing biomes?
I mean not the combat or gathering part but especially building, where to settle, what to do
Morgen gjall.
At the start you don't need to settle down yet, you could go with some outposts for gathering materials until you find a nice place to build a proper base.
See that's the issue idk where's a good place to settle
we discussed a few options here last night
I prefer the plains for a permanent base, can grow all crops plains and biomes before.
Black metal delivered to your door for the big chests.
Wide views, free roam tamed loxes provide excellent base defense.
If you can find a spot that has other biomes closeby you'll have free loot around the base because of the factions warring with each other.
I prefer to find a spot that has mistlands close by since then you will have some great fishing options, for anglerfish or the pufferfish.
Though I also make a chill base in the meadows where I do the tree farm, boar, wolf and chicken farm, have back up stuff and is also used to show of the gear, riches and such.
There is no right or wrong answer for that, some like to settle in plains and some in meadows or black forest. It depends what you find a good place.
some even brave mountain or swamp builds
you should just play with other people, its easier to get started
they will (hopefully) show you the ropes
i mean a lot of the game is just doing it and finding out what works
using raise ground a platform base in any meadows will keep you safe while you make a home on it, same with a meadows island
Should it be close to seabodies?
Preferably, yes.
doesn't have to be but otherwise you'll probably have to design a cart path to the nearest water access for when you boat metals back
The problem I have with my new world is it's too steep and it's going to be so hard for me to terraform this
Once you have access to portals you can build a portal in an inland base and make a dock at the sea.
Though for metal and stuff you'll need to either melt it at the docks and turn it into tools there or transport it by cart to the base to smelt and work the metal there.
You could also change the world setting to let you portal metal trough portals from the start.
a nice island is like a ready made terraformed spot, probably minimal work to get it live-able
Also easy to spawn proof if the island isn't too big.
portal or just use the trees and bushes that are there already
I mean I'm in rag tunics don't have the portal yet, just started the playthrough
Each boat has some storage space and you can carry some in your inventory.
if it's that early you'll probably want one that's easy to swim to in any case
Could y'all help with that when I find a neat-looking island
sure thing, we can give tips and you can post shots in the #screenshots channel
If I where you I would make a small base somewhere along the coast in the meadows you started in.
Normally there will be some black forest nearby as well.
Keep on playing and using that base till you can defeat the first boss.
||Go into the black forest and make sure you get some tin and copper so you can make some bronze nails.
You can then make a karve if you have the rest of the mats and then the game really opens up with sailing and finding other lands.||
I'm in between a black forest, meadows and a mountain I'm just sightseeing rn
yeah good advice there, also if you go into black forest keep an eye out for carrot seed plants (they are small with white flowers), that will help you get a start on farming for half decent food
I think I found a nice place
you'll need some bronze for the cultivator
Sounds good put a base somewhere along the coast, not too close but in sight of the black forest would be ideal, don't spent too much time finding the perfect spot else you will only keep on looking.
Nvm there's a boar spawn stuff next to it
I'd love a nice place, I have a huge mountain biome surrounding the area so I have to walk a bit
Doesn't matter, if it is a stone it only spawns boars once, if it is a farm same thing.
Boars spawn randomly in the meadows.
You can put down some workbenches to stop mobs spawning in the radius the workbench shows.
Other player base items do the same but don't show the radius.

Nvm a troll's chasing me and I died
if there's a 2 star boar don't kill it, it'll be great in a boar farm once yr more established
I have a copper deposit next to a troll so I'll enslave it I guess but later
@strange arrow or @opal prairie I found someplace but I have a mini keyboard no screenshot can I show you it?
To take a screenshot with a mini keyboard, even if it lacks a dedicated "Print Screen" key, you can typically use the keyboard shortcut "Windows key + Shift + S" which opens the Snipping Tool, allowing you to select the area you want to capture on your screen; if your keyboard has a "Fn" key, you might need to press "Fn + Windows key + Spacebar" to take a screenshot depending on your device settings.
Start button + shift + s opens up snipping if it is on windows.
I posted it, that water connects to the sea and there's blackforest right behind my back
I have 2 copper deposits within reach
does the river lead out to sea? if so it looks like a good spot
there's a few other places you can post if it's the cooldown that's an issue
30 minutes cooldown
yep that's the sea
if that's an island to the north of where Eikthyr is that might be a good spot as well
that area is really steep
I spawned basically on a mountain I couldn't get down hence the area on the map missing
If I set up here I'm like half a minute away from blackforest right by the sea
yeah i see the mountain there to the west, looks good where you've chosen, having the mountain somewhat nearby can also be advantageous for wolf taming
I also have a troll in the very west of the availible map next to copper
Here comes the hard part though, I suck at building and mechanics of building in this game
the key is to make the area you want to build on be pancake flat, a bit of work with the hoe/pick but it's possible to do it pretty much anywhere
it will be a lot easier with a pick, for now you probs just want a temporary shack built with the natural slopes
Oh yeah so I build a temporary small house for the base
yup, start with the basics, enough space for a bed, fire, workbench and a few chests for storage
3x3 with a fire in middle sounds nice
i'd put the fire in a corner so you can have a chimney for the smoke
you can have it in the middle but it's more building work for the chimney
I'm gonna do a weird shape let's see if I can pull it out
I built something finally
@strange arrow I just saw a 1* boar should I let it live
that's a good start for a reliable food income, you can either let him chase you back home and build him a fenced in pen there or do it wherever it's at currently
building the pen first is the easiest way, then you only have to place one panel/fence piece when he follows you into it
I already offed him 😔
lol, well the tips apply for the next one/s
your choice entirely but if you want to start metalwork operations you'll need surtling cores yeah
Crypts and getting some tin and copper.
It's a joke that after opening that much of the map I haven't come across a single tin vein
It are small things near water, not big veins like copper.
And why can I not get eikthyr's power I have the trophy
gotta go hang the trophy up at spawn
Yeah I did it I was looking at another boss' one
Yes I know I guess I need to go to black forest
they usually litter the shorelines
Correct.
Water and black forest then
I am really close to 2 copper deposits, but when can I make a cart
as soon as you craft bronze nails iirc
Bruh I died to a troll while trying to get him to mining
I need help how do I utilize this guy 😢
Rolling grants immunity from almost all damage
Dodge roll.
So there's 2 copper deposits but also a troll nearby and a greydwarf spawn
So break the spawner then use the troll
I wanna get this troll to get me the 2 deposits and also some corewood and firwood
I am kinda new wanna help on that, by instructing
Fine wood? That doesn’t come from fir.
Fine, sorry
