[merry pebble]

You mean portal pin?

[heady parcel]

Two star torch fuling, kinda scary when wearing root chest and no barley wine...

[merry pebble]

Oooof, that would be quick death

[heady parcel]

He had a one star torch guy in tow, ugly little things were out for me

[neon magnet]

Could be. Not overly similar to the portals ingame though, in terms of overall shape

[merry pebble]

I would say it is quite close 🤔

[hearty flume]

How hard should it be to get a bear trophy? I think we killed 22 bears on the servers and no trophy

[shy marlin]

have you found haldor?

(he has a bear rug that you can break for a trophy)

[hearty flume]

Yeah, but I kinda wanna earn it

[shy marlin]

word

Someone prolly knows the actual statistics, but 22 bears and no trophy probably isn't that rare of an occurrence

[merry pebble]

The drop rate is 10%
The statisctics stuff goes right over my head but seems to me you are getting just a tiny bit unlucky 🙂

[gray sand]

10% is 10%
Consults with statistics:
It is still 10%

Nothing complicated 😉 💛

[merry pebble]

Meh i just remember the lenghty discussions what the chances are after how many attempts and... Bleh...

[gray sand]

Still 10%.

[shy marlin]

yes makes me go bleh too

Engineering statistics was the only class that I almost failed, I hate stats.

[gray sand]

Imagine stats but with sig figs

Everything is just 1% because sig fig logic totally makes sense. 😏

[shy marlin]

10.% 😏

[gray sand]

😄

Plains.

Plains has Tar, which gives you Darkwood.

Wasn't trying to directly spoil but you hit me with the "only has birch"...

[merry pebble]

Well, supposed spoiler to you 😄
Since you asked "Darkwood?".

[heady parcel]

RNG is so weird. I have settled on this enormous island with lots of every biome up to and including Mistlands - with a lot of plains. Yet so far I have not found a single tar pit... On other worlds they have been more or less everywhere, so this is unfamiliar...

Hell yeah, complain-on-discord theory strikes true again, found a tar pit right now...

[merry pebble]

[fossil delta]

Humor aside, I have had some plains where there are not tar pits. Then others where it seems I cannot turn around without seeing one. So RNG can make things seem at least a little off.

Now it would be great if RNG would make me find a fuling village every time I turn around.

[merry pebble]

No no, the magic only works if you word it like a complaint xD

[hearty flume]

This might be an unpopular opinion, but it would be fun to have npc's who would live in your old bases x)

[fossil delta]

Why can't I find a fuling village every time I turn around?!? RNG SUCKS!!

[heady parcel]

It's a common enough suggestion. Check youtube, I've seen some players use clever tricks to capture mobs and make them passive so they just stand there providing a bit of, uh, company.

[fossil delta]

A friend of mine got me started on using the armor stands with various armors on them to populate our bases. 😄

[hearty flume]

yeah, that is a mod xD

[hearty flume]

I ment like some sort of vikings who would move in and defend it and stuff xD

[fossil delta]

I get that. Just with Valheim as it is, thats the closest I can get.

[merry pebble]

Not neccesarily 🙂 you can make greydwarfs, greylings or necks not to attack anything if you have fire near them

[hearty flume]

Yeah!

[smoky quarry]

you have the bees, which are happy i hope

[hearty flume]

Yeah, I know, but npc's would be cool

[fossil delta]

Wolves are the closest I can get. They feel like company, and they do defend the base.

[smoky quarry]

you can make a base around a dvergr tower and you got company

[fossil delta]

True, or one of those areas where they randomly spawn. Which would include the Ashlands, not that I feel any need to make a base I live in there.

[smoky quarry]

yea nah, not there.

[eager bough]

i like taking over the forts in ashlands

[smoky quarry]

1st mist i found was in fields with a dv ergr tower near

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202267437647527977/1421628487583666196/Valheim_2023.09.02-15.11.png?ex=68d9ba34&is=68d868b4&hm=33302b09c7c0fb7ad8e98cc81964fb9ecdc887fb2872a9080f79ebdd5998a01a&

[merry pebble]

That just looks wrong xD
But very nice find non the less

[smoky quarry]

in the mist there was an empty skull

or ribs cant remember. Year random

[merry pebble]

If you find the petrified skull it should never be empty 🤔 so probably ribs

[smoky quarry]

yea def then.

had a 2** fire mage & 2 rogue there and with some squidos help we got them. We carried that extractor thing to the base only later to find out about the branches, haul it back

[fossil delta]

Never say never with Valheim...

[merry pebble]

Well unless you dig the brains out yourself.. It really should never be empty xD

[heady parcel]

I love when biome borders cause the odd burial chamber to appear in plains etc, it gives a lovely bit of variety

[fossil delta]

Speaking of which, found a beehive in my favorite black forest tower. The one with steps and a terrace around it. So thats still a find you can have.

Still the only BF tower type I have ever found a beehive in as well.

[smoky quarry]

was the ribs2

[fossil delta]

Ideally, but I am pretty sure I found a skull that was empty, but I apparenlty didn't take a screenshot of it, so maybe it was just playing Valheim too far into the night kind of induced delirium...

[merry pebble]

Well, if the right circumstances are in place the inside could be broken without you knowing and the soft tissue could despawn 🤔

You would need a skull that has no piece of soft tissue touching support, a seeker soldier in the vicinity and something close to the skull that would aggro the soldier.

[fossil delta]

No idea as to why. Regardless, I don't have a screen shot of it, so it may just be delirium speaking.

[smoky quarry]

I see that parts of deep north are linked to islands with various biomens, unlike ashlands, fully separated.

[fossil delta]

For now. They may change the maps for it.

[smoky quarry]

got a black forest near it as a mountain

[merry pebble]

Hmm? They should be separated just like ashlands 🤔 just with it having more smaller islands for now (no idea if it will change)

[smoky quarry]

won`t get close to generate that

[fossil delta]

I don't recall going into the Ashlands before it was actually made, from other biomes, but I didn't go there much anyways, to preserve the map generation for it.

My wife says we did. (She is sitting next to me. :D)

[merry pebble]

They used to be connected to other biomes if the landmasses were across the border of them 🙂
-# And i believe they technically still are, but the height map is forcefully changed around them to create the ocean border.

[smoky quarry]

just glad updates work with all seeds until now

[fossil delta]

I hope they do NOT do similar with The North. That ocean border got me started with hating the Ashlands, and it only got worse from there.

[smoky quarry]

seems pretty far away as it shows

center area is more far, sides are similarly close by

[merry pebble]

Well the ocean border is there too, but it doesent dmg ships like ashlands waters do, and i dont think it will after its out since we were shown in the teasers that you can get there by longship 🙂

[smoky quarry]

longship is the one

prob night time 24/7 with everything over 9000 stars

[fossil delta]

Yeah, their giving us that huge boat, that we HAVE to use to get to Ashlands, then giving us that tight formation of rocks to go through, was not IG's best moments in game design decisions.

As far as I am concerned, anyways. Others may have loved it.

[crimson fjord]

if i play valheim on 2 diff devices (through steam) do i have the same world across devices?

[pliant hatch]

It does if you have cloud saves on.
I'm able to play the game at both my PC and laptop and even am able to load up the same world save in the map generator on both devices.

#mods-discussion

[azure yacht]

This might be an unpopular opinion

it certainly is

[plush umbra]

Good evening everyone

[rocky sandal]

My spike generation was tight enough to do some cool maneuvering but not so tight as to get me stuck.
I had fun, but I agree with you, not good if it can ruin a players time

[smoky quarry]

Interesting that Zil`s head weighs 2.0, as much as Thungrs head. Must have dense brain

[rocky sandal]

evening fellas.
I think ive turned around on inventory slots. Rich, i know, coming from the guy that got the entire reddit sub arguing at me a week ago, but i think that theres definitely merit to be had with the sheer number of downloads for the basic inventory expansion mods.
Even a traditionalist developer like fromsoftware looks at the most popular mods, and goes "you know what thats a good idea, lets do that for our next game."

[gray sand]

🤢

[rocky sandal]

So obviously frost is gonna be a huge part of the danger of the deep north, but im really hoping lightning gets some solid representation as well.
There are, as of current release, 2 enemies that can hit the player with lighting damage, Eikthyr and Yagluth.
Yagluth's forsaken power includes resistance to lightning damage, that checks out, since we seem to get elemental resistance from the boss associated with that element.
It's kinda useless, however, since Yagluth's fire damage is more dangerous than his lighting, and Eikthyr is as dangerous as his honking kin by the time you conquer the Plains.
So I pray to all the aesir, vanir, and joten that we get some visually stunning, terrifyingly deadly, fulgurously charged threats in the deep north. Maybe just ape that also extremely underutilized ice-lightning from Elden Ring.

[steel mica]

Maybe decrease rock density but yeah it was a bit of a nightmare navigating the ashland waters especially when theres multiple bonemaws on yo a-

But you'll only have to do it once, once you get through and build a base there

I can imagine deep north having obstacles in the waters aswell but not as deadly compared to ashland boulders

[rocky sandal]

Perhaps it will be shifting currents, shoving your ship and ice floats alike? Moder's tailwind will be the best way to stay somewhat on course. Totally spitballing here.

Or maybe a 5th type of ship with an icebreaker on the bow, and thats the Fader item we need to craft it.

[smoky quarry]

whatever comes out of north, great. As long as they give me this gate build option

[gray sand]

What if the Deep North is the ocean update and the whole biome is underwater... being the DEEP north 👀

https://tenor.com/view/illuminati-triangle-eye-pyramid-conspiracy-theory-gif-1208222873168159165

[smoky quarry]

I better find that gate deep down there then

[plucky plover]

Valheim's early game is so relaxing for me. 😀

[wintry valve]

Boating is also relaxing

[gray sand]

FACTS

[wintry valve]

So I wanted to wait until the next update to play valheim but more and more my resolve is failing and I kind of plan to play it again once Im bored of Fallout 4

Im gonna try an axe n bow playthrough

[gray sand]

Play it on a random seed and just do whacky stuff.

[wintry valve]

ur whacky

I have devastated you with this word exchange and now you owe me 20 dollars. :V

[gray sand]

😮

[fathom gulch]

Which biome do you build your main base in?

[gray sand]

Plains.

[wintry valve]

Last time I played, I built mine at a junction of meadow and black forest, but I also had some stuff in plains

[pliant hatch]

What if the DEEP actually means deep under ground?
The Hervor Bloodtooth videos had her ending up inside something underground.
And it's one of the two things we haven't had a boss fight at yet.

Moder was airborne (well, partially anyway) and all the other bosses were on the ground.
So being under ground might be a possible location based upon that.

[gray sand]

Queen can be considered underground to a point 🤷‍♂️

[wintry valve]

I wish their were considering making the ocean something we can explore by diving

[smoky quarry]

vikings don`t dive

[rocky sandal]

Ironborn Don't (blank)

[raw token]

Long live the Queen.

Damn, that was pretty epic. Me w/mistwalker and shield and my buddy the mage. What a fight. Damn that was fun.

[gray sand]

Mistwalker goated weapon.

[golden granite]

Always feels like im being unfaithful when I start a new base elsewhere. Espescially when you spend a lot of time making the old one pretty

[wintry valve]

Thats why I dont make much efforts for my first camp

That hat makes you look like you have 1970's hair. 😄

Bear hat

Ngl this is my first time doing this, and its going ok

[gray sand]

The boat/cart trick is 100% speakable though.

[steel mica]

just slow... 💀

[steel mica]

What about longship?

[gray sand]

Also speakable.

[steel mica]

OH HELL NAH

I almost tipped over

[steel mica]

Practically free extra storage

with a bit of a risk involve

[gray sand]

Rewarded risk!

[steel mica]

Karve on a long ship though 🤔

[merry pebble]

I once took 2 carts on a longship, it was so slow i will do only longship with no carts from now on 😁

[steel mica]

Maybe one but yeah 2 fully loaded cart is gonna weigh that boi down

[gray sand]

Can fit 2 longships on a longship if you do it right tbh.

And then like 4 carts on each of those for a total of 11 inventories 😄

[arctic frigate]

U cant fill 8 carts and 3 longships in 1x survival, or it have no reason to do

Like u wont tratsport That much iron , cause at 1 place won't be that many

And for any transportable resources u can just use full inventory -> portal

[gray sand]

No reason?

You think we went to the moon for any reason beyond "because we can like a boss"?

Plenty of reason to stack carts on longships stacked on a longship. 😁

[coarse gust]

They tried to fake the moonlanding to bankrupt the soviets. Hired hollywood to do it, but they decided to film on location for that authentic look

[maiden tartan]

who starts a conversation like this

I just opened the chat

[coarse gust]

someone with no social skills trying to be funny

[maiden tartan]

sure I guess

[subtle glen]

this game is hard

[thorny quiver]

Thats why we love Valheim

What are your struggles?

[barren whale]

this land is hard and wild, but we who were brought here are harder still...

[thorny quiver]

Indeed, now i await for new adventures while i construct my workshop

[subtle glen]

i just started so im still trying to mine in the black forest without getting jumped by greydwarfes

its like they smell when i need them not to show up lmao

[barren whale]

mining and chopping are the loudest activities and they've got a radius

[silk token]

caw cawwww! these twisted beings fear the flame for they are made of the earth and bark cawwww

[thorny quiver]

Yeah, that be greydwarfs doin

[barren whale]

i recommend fires

[subtle glen]

also got mauled by a bear one time

oh true, didnt even think to do campfires around

[nocturne wolf]

Make an upgraded wood shield if you haven't already

[thorny quiver]

Yeah they fear firec

[subtle glen]

ill have to do that next time i hop on

kinda been hesitant to upgrade cos i assumed wood and flint tools were gonna get replaced early on

[thorny quiver]

If you ever need an extra support, i ll be glad to join you for little slaying lol

Also, while you can try to master perfect block, its even better now since last update and dont drains stamina

It ll come in usefull later in the game

[merry pebble]

Yeah, parrying is super useful for killing mobs in short time 😄
Also rolling is great if you want to play it a bit safer since it has lots of invincibility frames

[subtle glen]

i try to parry greydwarfs and still get stunned if i land it

i think dodging is a better bet till i get some better gear

[silk token]

you need better food then, eat some meat get somethin on them viking bones!

[subtle glen]

ive got deer and bore

once im further in ill start farming also

[silk token]

that's plenty, idk how greydwarfs stagger you when you parry them

[merry pebble]

Upgrading shield will also help 🙂
But as said above, 2 hp foods should be enough

[thorny quiver]

I remember my first fights with greydwarfs, night was death sentence, but when you have good armor suddenly it becomes menegable

Plus novadays with my armor they dont even do dammage to me, its just thud XD

[subtle glen]

am i missing somthing or are repairs free?

[merry pebble]

They are free indeed 🙂

[subtle glen]

i made 3 of the elk boss pickaxes cos i thought they die when the durability dropped lmao

ive been littering axes and torches into the ocean

[merry pebble]

Nah, you dont loose stuff when it breaks 😄
The trade off for that and free repairs is that you need quite a bit of materials to make the thing in the first place and then upgrade it 🙂

[subtle glen]

good to know going foward

cheers

[merry pebble]

[fluid cove]

5 infested mines, a total of 3 sealbreakers and 0 vegvisir 😭

[ionic elk]

At least they're neat

[eager bough]

is there a way to display the sealbreaker?

[silk token]

Gah. anyone have any tips to getting around not having "NITRO" version of discord for posting videos? I did one that was 1:30 at 10MB and it was grainy AF unwatchable

[silk token]

literally i did this too when i first started XD i was amazed that i could repair things

[shy marlin]

if you have good software you can encode down sometimes without making it look too bad

but 10 mb is a harsh limit

[subtle glen]

ive been sleeping on spears. that, a shield and a full set of leather made me immortal untill a bear showed up

[silk token]

i just use outplayedGG anything else is too hard for my old man brain

[eternal apex]

💡On Xbox Series X please cause the game to execute a quick pause whenever the player controller is disconnected for any reason.

On several occasions my controller batteries died in the middle of a battle with creatures, suddenly the Xbox dashboard pops up on screen saying controller disconnected, but behind the full screen dashboard window the game is still running. Several minutes later I source freshly charged batteries and prompt the xbox dashboard message to indicate which controller I wish to use. But I find myself back at my bed with a couple minutes on the Death Run timer remaining.

If the game should pause when a controller is disconnected then that makes this a bug (see my comment about this on the Xbox-Bugs channel)

[merry pebble]

#suggestions 😄

[orchid locust]

is it a known thing that entities beyond what I assume to be ~60m don't take any damage at all?
I've drill half a stack of my needle arrows into a lox and it's not dead yet

[glossy heath]

i think they may be in a chunk that's partially loaded in but not "active" due to distance

[orchid locust]

well, I should first make sure it's "all" entites, since I only noticed this with loxes

[glossy heath]

since it's on a per-chunk basis, the distance varies depending on where on the chunk grid you are, but it should be all entities that are affected

[orchid locust]

so basically you're not allowed to snipe stuff that's too far away? Bummer

at which point I'd argue we should have no bows at all, if you need to get close enough to stuff anyway, but I digress

[glossy heath]

i mean, that seems like a very unlucky setup of chunk borders across distance.
more often than not, if you can see something in the distance, it is active and can be shot

[merry pebble]

I do believe this becomes a problem only on the max draw distance 🤔 which is really quite far away, so bows are still incredibly usefull even tho you cant shoot stuff across whole continents

[glossy heath]

i've only run into the issue of my bolts/arrows not doing anything to an enemy in the distance a few times across all my playtime
-# granted, i don't play ranged all that much

[silk token]

imean there's a big gap between "i can't shoot this thing i can barely see" and "i can do ranged damage"

[onyx pier]

Hey, should I start a new world for this update that happened? I wasnt paying attention

[merry pebble]

You can to experience all the new things properly, but it is not necessary 🙂

[onyx pier]

Sweet thx. I just started a world before the update and barely got my base up when it dropped

[merry pebble]

Yeah then you are totally fine 😄

[neon magnet]

When you make a slightly bigger meadows house than before because you're more comfortable building... and then you realize there's not a lot of stuff at that stage to fill it with. Fireplace, bed, workbench with upgrades... a rug. Then just turn the rest into a warehouse with endless storage shelves I guess 😄

[merry pebble]

Exactly that xD

[proven shale]

have there been any talk of ship customization?

[merry pebble]

Nope, not aware of anything

[proven shale]

aw man

i feel like that would be an amazing addition to the game

[pliant hatch]

It's been suggested a few times though. Usually different kinds of sails and / or having shields at the sides of the longboats.

[flint quest]

hello everyone kinda new to the game, not so many friends who are into it :)

[gray sand]

Good thing it's an amazing and fun experience solo 👍💛

[tacit crystal]

This is very recognizable especially with Fallen Valkyries, as if they're just a bit too far away they don't take the hit even thought the shot lands.

[sly oyster]

interesting, my game crashed for the first time and none of the items rolled back but probably an hour of terraforming got rolled back

[merry pebble]

Yeah, that usually happens honestly, world save rolls back and char save stays 😄

[sly oyster]

i had the land looking so fresh and sculptured for my next build

[fluid cove]

finally found Vegvisir
Queen is on another island

[sly oyster]

is finewood needed in large amounts? i had a bunch of acorns and need regular wood so i figured id plant em

[fluid cove]

still lacking 3 more fragments smh mh

[sly oyster]

i cant decide whether or not to do an oak farm or beech farm

[fluid cove]

you'll need a bunch of them for portals considering each needs 20 of them, and a total of 40 for each connection

[nocturne wolf]

Oak trees have a better seed drop rate

[sly oyster]

yeah i just cutlike 7 trees and got 17 seeds, so i was like, maybe ill make this a perma farm

[merry pebble]

Unless you use only one portal in base that you rename depending on where you want to go 😄

[gray sand]

You rang?

[sly oyster]

well my pack has target portal, but i actually like making portal rooms so ill be making lots of portals anyways

[merry pebble]

Give me a minute and i might actually find a bell somewhere in house xD

[gray sand]

😁

Renaming one portal is de wae.

[sly oyster]

yeah i used to do that a lot

[gray sand]

You have strayed from the path, but redemption is available to all.

[sly oyster]

i mean i have a triple surtling spawner, i got cores for days

make all the portals

[merry pebble]

Then all you need is an oak farm 😄

[gray sand]

Spawning farms 🤢

[sly oyster]

im not sure if i can make a greydwarf farm though, creature level gonna be shoving massive 5*s in there lmao

[neon magnet]

What, in your mind, is a good/bad seed? Or if you think one shouldn't worry about that at all and just explore it blindly anyway, that's fair too 😄

[sly oyster]

depends, i like sailing so i dont care how far bosses area, especially with portals

i typically want haldor somewhat close to my spawn island, a decent amount of black forest on my spawn island, and a large swamp somewhere i can sail to

[fluid cove]

i keep the untagged portal for exploration purpose, just pop one before a dungeon to teleport back to eat/rest first lol

[merry pebble]

I have the emergency portal and the one i rename in my base 😄

[sly oyster]

i like to briefly glance at just the topology of a map on the seed viewer just so i know im not getting something completely horrible

[gray sand]

This is the way.

[fluid cove]

honestly can't imagine playing Mistlands no map, even with map on i can get lost

[gray sand]

If you are planning a mountain base - seed needs to have one of the 2 tallest mountains.

Otherwise there is no bad seed.

[smoky quarry]

I still rock my 1st ever seed from pre Hearth update, has a giant island

[sly oyster]

i have a mountain that goes above the clouds but it looks like dog water

too tall and skinny

[neon magnet]

I think I'm mostly thinking about "clean" biomes on the starting islands and around potential trader positions. Not a fan of when the worldgen makes tiny slivers of random stuff because of overlaps and/or the meadows "star" at the start

[gray sand]

I kept the same seed for years until a friend gave me one and I will probably only play that one from here on out.

[smoky quarry]

my starter island has all biomes less Ashland. But island tip is near Ashlands

[neon magnet]

I guess also if possible I'd like it to "make sense", where biomes will show up in the correct order if exploring somewhat naturally

[fluid cove]

sell me on why should i bother building a mountain base cuz i dont see the point of having one on top of the massive pain in the ass to bring metals up there

[gray sand]

Aura.

[smoky quarry]

nothing grows up there

[gray sand]

Also moving metals? You mean Stone Portal?

[fluid cove]

not in Ashlands yet 😭
still getting lost in Mistlands

[gray sand]

Then I cannot sell you at this time 😉

[smoky quarry]

building one from scratch with all metals and such mined is really not worth it, id rather add it to my massive main City

[sly oyster]

my mountain has a sea level to cloud almost cliff edge angle on one side. imma throw my cart over the side to get to my boat

[gray sand]

Mountain bases look awesome is all I can say.
And you just portal out to your plains and mistlands farm outposts when needed.

[gray sand]

Worth is subjective.

[smoky quarry]

i like functionality over looks

[sly oyster]

dang it...does this game have crash logs?

[gray sand]

My mountain base functions perfectly 🤷‍♂️

[fluid cove]

i love my Plains base so much

[neon magnet]

I would love to find a seed where the starter island was small and only meadows, so you could "get established" and then need to raft off somewhere to actually start adventuring 😄

In general I wish islands were a bit more "pure" when it comes to biomes and less mixing meadows, bf, plains and swamp all in a tiny space

[smoky quarry]

no its not, u cant survive there without a fire or your cloak on

[sly oyster]

plains backed up to mistlands is my favorite spot

[gray sand]

Plains was my favorite for a very long time. It is now second.

[smoky quarry]

plains is fantastic for base.

[gray sand]

Oh no... not having to wear a cape like everyone already does at all times...

[smoky quarry]

still, not ideal

i get to walk around in my peasant outfit

[gray sand]

You can personally dislike mountain all you wish, but stop trying to make it out like they are objectively worse because they are not.

[smoky quarry]

plus, mountain = noo port

If u have one of those low mountains near the water tthat would be cool

i got one its near sea level somehow

[eternal blade]

No crops, no port. That's what makes it objectively worse

[gray sand]

False. But you are entitled to your opinions.

[smoky quarry]

traditionally mountain castles are purely militarily and not intended for daily use.

[fluid cove]

i always try to make my bases next to the sea for easy metal transport

[smoky quarry]

i just want a port, not really about the metals

cant be a viking without a port.

[gray sand]

Once you get stone portal that is no longer a factor.

[smoky quarry]

nah, u need a port. Not that kind of port, actual port

[fluid cove]

i know, but also i love having a port/dock in my base

[smoky quarry]

like ragnar

[fluid cove]

real Vikings sail their longship everywhere

[gray sand]

Please stop incorrectly telling me what I need. Thank you.

[smoky quarry]

Now, if I`d go out of my Viking theme, then a mountain base would fit more so. But im in the viking mode, it needs to fit viking stuff

kek, gets upset. Ok

[sly oyster]

im on a boat

[fast island]

there was any announcements in Tokyo game show ?

[shy marlin]

the announcement was playstation coming to valheim in 2026 ig

[silk token]

im super psyched for my board game

[fossil delta]

Me too. The components look great, too.

[silk token]

anyone else as cool as me buy the "take my money" version of the board game?

[fossil delta]

I went "all in". Then bought more extras.

Hopefully they will have to start a channel here for the board game.

[silk token]

oh right!

[merry pebble]

Sadly didnt have enough funds for the all-in 😄 but went with the second best + few add-ons

[fossil delta]

As long as you can at least get the base game. Thats all that really matters.

[light moat]

I got the collectors edition, has the rainbow cards and stuff! Super excited for the minis, and the coin!

[fossil delta]

I know I am going to regret not getting two core sets, but I couldn't afford that at the time. Hopefully I will find one at retail.

[merry pebble]

Both normal and delux editions should be availible in retail 🙂

[fossil delta]

They should. I have not seen every game I have backed at retail. I guess they don't do a big enough print run every time.

I do have one of the biggest retailers here in St Louis, especially for board games. So I should see every game.

[pearl hull]

It has already been commented on having proximity voice chat in Valheim?

[tacit crystal]

It has been discussed and suggested at some point multiple times, afaik not a feature they are planning to add.

[gray sand]

You want to play with your friends but only speak to them when their are close to you in-world?

[pearl hull]

yes

[pearl hull]

it would be cool

[gray sand]

We have very different ways of treating our friends it seems 🤷‍♂️

[echo wind]

I suppose in the age of vikings, the only way to talk to your friends was if you were near them in-world

[orchid locust]

what even are the chances that I killed a deathsquito right when it killed me... geez

[gray sand]

50/50

[tiny tiger]

Pretty sure there’s a mod for this

[fossil delta]

Likely. Modders usually make a mod for every whim. 😄

[gray sand]

Now they can just CodeGPT their whims too 😉

[tawny wasp]

The prox chat things doesn't feel right for valheim but I see the appeal for immersion. DayZ and Rust can be pretty fun with friends when you're in proximity chat.

[merry pebble]

I mean, you can always chat through discord or teamspeak 😄

[tawny wasp]

I'm not sure how big the multilayer servers are but like if there's big survival pvp servers or something having prox there would definitely make sense and feel a part of the world

[merry pebble]

The cap is 10 players at the same time 🙂

[tawny wasp]

Ah yeah

[neon magnet]

What unnecessary or suboptimal things do you do ingame because it's more immersive or feels right? 🙂

[civic stirrup]

Turn off portals

Also spend absurd amount of time basebuilding

Honestly no portals is great though I'd really like to see them add a cargo ship so I can reasonable transport stuff without having to do sketchy things with carts

[gray sand]

Building actual buildings instead of speedrunner shacks.

[neon magnet]

I didn't even think of this as a thing - for me that is equal with progression as "goals of the game"

[nocturne wolf]

It’s not necessary or optimal though

[civic stirrup]

I go even further, I usually and doing landscaping, planting flowers and trees, ect

The speed runner shacks are for advanced bases/basecamps

Stack of wood is all you really need for those lol

[gray sand]

Runner shacks don't even have 4 walls lol

[civic stirrup]

I usually only build 4 wall joints

[neon magnet]

Who can really say what is "optimal" in a sandbox game 🙂 But yes, I suppose progression is the most obvious measure for it, despite it not being the sole focus (or a focus at all) for many players

What brought the question on was that I kind of am in a mood to RP a bit. Choose what to do next from what my character would want to do (not having the knowledge about what's actually out there like I as a player do, for example). Decorate a random spot a little because I camped there one night, just so there's something to see when I stumble upon it again. Go for a swim at the end of a day because ... no reason. Just because I can 😄 Etc

[gray sand]

Who can really say what is "optimal" in a sandbox game

Give it a couple hours, someone will show up to declare the one and only way the game should be played. 😄

[neon magnet]

There's always someone. Reminds me of a youtube video I saw the other day of "most useless things in Valheim" or similar. Some made sense - strictly worse versions of other things, or extremely wasteful uses of certain resources... but some items were put on the list because they were "purely decorative" or "no purpose at all except for building" etc. Some people in the comments had issues with those 😄

[gray sand]

Gaming content on YT

[shy marlin]

Tower shields are pretty useless tbh

[fossil delta]

I like to rebuild certain keeps you can find in game. Then I usually leave a portal in them as my excusee for rebuilding it, and giving it at least a CL of 8.

Oh, and mountain cabins. Especially if they still have chairs and the table.

The Draugr villages in the meadows I think should go without even have to say you restore those. 😄

[gray sand]

Give them the charge attack that we know they thought about and they become very useful.

[tacit crystal]

Or higher stagger limit when blocking with them.

[fossil delta]

As someone who only uses Tower Shields...

[gray sand]

Just blocking buffs would be pointless because they will never beat parrying.
Give them something offensive and we're talking.

Being able to bullrush with a massive shield and knock things aside would fit tower shields and be an amazing "you can't parry, but you can attack" tradeoff.

[smoky quarry]

i reuse them as well. Good place to make an Outpost, many ways to fix up

[fossil delta]

The nock back with tower shields is rather crazy. Often irritating, because it makes it harder to kill what you want to kill, but when your taking on 6 to 10 fulings, its awesome.

[neon magnet]

Make it so that you can attack while hiding behind them (weaker attack perhaps) if you feel that it makes sense for you, stamina/stagger wise. A real tank style, hunker behind a huge shield and reach around it with a spear or something

[gray sand]

I stick by my opinion 🤷‍♂️

[nocturne wolf]

#memes-and-clips message
this is what we could’ve got from call to arms for tower shields
(this is an unused system that would’ve made tower shields stagger nearby enemies after blocking 3-5 times)

[neon magnet]

I'm fine with them being a less efficient but slightly easier playstyle 🙂 Gives people a choice where both choices can make sense depending on personal preference and ability

[tacit crystal]

Ngl that would have been cool addition.

[fossil delta]

That would be too powerful. I'm fine with how they are, especially now that we are not so slow. Like I inferred before, that knockback makes lots of enemies easier to take down.

[smoky quarry]

just give all weaps a quick attack from behind tower shield with a smaller opening time, no combo, no bonus

[fossil delta]

Like I walk into fuling villages to take them out, fulings, beserkers and shamans, That shield blocks pretty much everything, even fireballs. So as long as you can block most of it, or at least the worst blows...

[static sentinel]

why do some of the tames on world have names? I didn't name them and my friends say they didn't name them.

[fossil delta]

Someone did. Unless you use mods that do it.

[static sentinel]

no mods and ok - some f***ery is afoot.

lol ty

[pliant tangle]

someone to play with ?

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[fossil delta]

No idea why they would deny it, but some people find strange things to be humorous.

[empty nest]

I keep dieing and it's making me feel bad

[fossil delta]

Yeah, dying sucks. Until you learn to block, parry, or dodge roll, or some combo there of. Then you die a lot less.

[neon magnet]

What are you dying to? People here might have good tips for specific things

[fossil delta]

Plus eating HP foods is important to all of that as well.

[gray sand]

Eating food? Nah. 😏

[swift fractal]

I downloaded Valheim yesterday and got addicted.. already got 8 hours on it..

[gray sand]

Lol, image perms.

[past ore]

Is 1.0 releasing together with the Playstation port?

Because in all posts surrounding the Playstation port, there is a teaser related to Deep North...

[gray sand]

No one knows.

[swift fractal]

Newbie here, is there a way to repair broken items?

[foggy glacier]

at your workbench.

[gray sand]

Bench you made them at.

[swift fractal]

dayum thx

[eternal apex]

Hey, does anyone know whether or not the Growths respawn at tar pits after draining it and collecting the tar balls from inside?

[foggy glacier]

yes, the growths respawn.

[gray sand]

You need to either use workbenches to deny spawns or commands to directly delete the spawners to stop it.

[fossil delta]

They only respawn 1. So kind of worth it to leave them respawning if you pass by the pit regularly.

[smoky quarry]

drop a fire center ish and its neutralized

[fossil delta]

Yep, but if your going to dig it out right away, and never come back, there is no need. It takes a couple of game days for them to respawn. So unless its near to something you will be at regularly...

[eternal apex]

I would like to keep on collecting tar every couple of days. Respawn is what I'm looking for.

[fossil delta]

Yep. Only 1, every few game days. Not sure how many.

Days, that is. 3 to 4?

[azure yacht]

then you already had all the news we have

[orchid locust]

am I missing some kind of trick/strategy, or is finewood just really hard to farm in general, even if you're in the plains already?

[chrome badge]

Are you tree farming at all?

[fossil delta]

There is usually plenty of trees in the plains. At least in clusters of them.

Farming helps too, but I have been having lousy luck getting seeds from those.

[orchid locust]

I'm referring to seeds in particular: even if I go around mowing down entire forests in the plains I always run out of seeds

[fossil delta]

Hmmm... maybe its not just me and lousy RNG.

[orchid locust]

oak trees don't seem to be much different either

[fossil delta]

Of what little I have "farmed" of those, I have gotten more seeds than I have cut down.

[orchid locust]

guess I'll keep trying...

[fossil delta]

In the past I have usually gotten close to "replacement" numbers, but not in recent weeks.

[chrome badge]

I usually plant about 60 trees, that will condense down to about 120-140 trees after replants, depending on drop luck. That is almost 2500 finewood on average, which is usually plenty.

[steel mica]

Not plenty

Need more for mega builds

[chrome badge]

Plenty for 1 harvest rather.

[tepid prawn]

Once you have 25+ seeds I start planting the birches, then every now and then cut down wild ones to get more seeds if they 25 previous trees disappointed me with seed drops, especially with plains you'll be able to easily get quite a few seeds to have a reasonable supply, but yeah tree planting birches is essential if you want a good supply

[steel mica]

So trres are technically both inf and finite

[smoky quarry]

you need an Oak forest

[steel mica]

They're annoying to cut in the early game

[gray sand]

It's interesting how some people need Finewood for mega builds.
My limiting factor has always been Black Marble 😄

[steel mica]

due to such high hp both its log form and tree form

[light moat]

Natural black marble pillars when?!🤔

[smoky quarry]

true, better for later. So start early planting

[gray sand]

Golems made out of black marble would also do the trick.

[steel mica]

Hmm kinda of like guards for dvergr settlements

since dvergrs have magic

[light moat]

Been wanting that for a long time

[fossil delta]

Its a bad idea to have them guard your garden. Bastards burn everything down. Ask me how I know...

[steel mica]

You built a base there and some seekers showed up and the mages went nuts

[gray sand]

You see chat, burning things down is why we don't equip our guards with fire weapons.

[fossil delta]

Yep. Starred mages too.

[barren whale]

oak should be self sustaining but the RNG can be brutal

[fossil delta]

We only had a walled garden there. We haven't beat Yag yet, so just growing stuff early, getting the Jump mead made, etc...

[steel mica]

Honestly having them patrol your base is nice, not only guards but backup that can help deal with more fiesty enemies like starred seekers

Just be ready to have them demolish your build from time to time

I would honestly keep them

For me atleast idk if you would like having them demolish your stuff lol

Just be careful to not hit them

And if they have 1 if not 2 healer mages that is hoenstly busted

Actually no a dvergr settlement of just healers mages is busted

They have elemental dmg and healing capability

so more survivability

Not to mention they can heal you

[sly oyster]

youtube trying keep me thrown off. first i was playing one game, and then i kept getting valheim videos so here i am. now im getting spammed with stardew valley videos

[gray sand]

Gaming content on YT

[unkempt raft]

Hey sorry yall, but do wards not work?

Me and a buddy tried to place down a ward but when we do that and try to interact with chests, they still open even when active.

[fossil delta]

Anyone assigned to the wards can do that.

[pliant radish]

In my last playthrough I encountered a starred mage

and was almost unable to deal damage fast enough to kill it lol

[steel mica]

Basically if you own the ward, you're the only one who can interact with the things you built under the wards area, doors, chests, etc

and any player who tries to interact say a chest under the your wards effect, they will not be able to access it

players also cannot build in the area of that ward

[gray sand]

Wait you guys play with other people?

[steel mica]

what are friends

[gray sand]

Friends are people who play other games but we still keep in touch 😏

[light moat]

Honestly would love to play/start a server with some folks here, but I just don’t have the time
And sometimes time zones don’t line up!

[gray sand]

Ain't nobody got time for dat

[shy marlin]

that's the hard part, finding a time where everyone can be on

[gray sand]

Scales run server where everyone is naked and starving? 👀

[steel mica]

naked and afraid reference!?

[gray sand]

No food no armor challenge run reference.

[solemn hawk]

Man why are bears so boulder shaped

I almost lost my mind earlier looking for bear trophies

[fluid cove]

i got two Dvergr Trophies after I accidentally led a 1-star Soldier to their camp I feel so guilty 😭

[tacit crystal]

Have you tried battleaxe? 2 swings were enough to stagger starred mage. #memes-and-clips message

[steel mica]

Blackmetal max quality?

or the mistlands one

[tacit crystal]

It can work too until you have Skull Splittur.

[steel mica]

Sweet, its hard to deal with dvergrs with sheer brute force so stunning is a welcome addition

[tacit crystal]

In that clip I used primary attacks since it has no MTP and it instantly staggered non star ones.

[steel mica]

Mostly range you gotta work with

[pliant radish]

Yeah I've used battleaxes quite a bit but at the time didn't have any and was still using frostner, and I was on a big open sloped area so every hit pushed them away and I'd use all my stamina to get to them lol

was frustrating to say the least

[tacit crystal]

Taking out mages first, then rogues. Root Harnesk helps a lot against attacks of rogues.

[steel mica]

Hmm Padded Helm + Root + Padded Greaves

The fire mages are a big deal since anything above mountains progression is a immediate threat when fire comes into play

[gray sand]

I'm a big deal 😏

[tacit crystal]

Ice mages first, they are busted. Against fire mages you have fire barley wine, support mages can heal and summon those homing balls.

[steel mica]

Or just lob fireballs till they die

will actually no

talking into you're going into the mistlands for the first time

bow is not sufficent because support mages they heal a ton

[tacit crystal]

Or vile leggings for no movement speed penalty and better armor than fenris.

[steel mica]

I would probably just attract a bunch of seekers and probably a seeker soldier aswell

so I can deal with the dvergrs

[tacit crystal]

That has been the solid strat since the beginning.

[steel mica]

Its not impossible to deal with dvergrs early on with plains gear but definitely harder than just attracting some seekers or just getting the staff of embers

[gray sand]

Why are we killing dverger?

[steel mica]

The extractor

for big tree juice

[gray sand]

Just use a cart to break it without aggroing.

[steel mica]

The cart method works but I also take the base for myself :)

and resources lol

[gray sand]

Oh that's simple 😄

[steel mica]

cart the ward to death

If the dvergr base is in a good location near roots, I raid it and take it for myself

[gray sand]

F5
forcedelete dvergerguard_stone (if memory serves)
And then you can build while they protect it 😛

[steel mica]

If there are healing mages Id honestly keep them

if not 2 healing mages is better

[gray sand]

Usually lasts until a 2 star gjall shows up and nukes them all 😄

[steel mica]

When gjall spawns I just harpoon it for easy kill

so I can lure it away while the dvergrs blast away

The tall dvergr settlement is a really good base

its a 2 story iirc

[neon magnet]

I need to either get a new mouse or rebind deconstruct from middle mouse. It double clicks about half the time and destroys the piece behind the one I'm looking at

[steel mica]

trigger fingers :))

[steel mica]

clicking middle mouse hurts

[neon magnet]

Or maybe it rolls a bit when I click it. Either way I can't seem to get it to do it consistently

[neon magnet]

Really? Even more reason to rebind it than I have then

[steel mica]

from my experience, having to really put down your finger so that it clicks instead of rolls

starts to really hurt if done in rapid succession

[neon magnet]

There's like a middle area where I can just hold it and it rapidly clicks ^^ Tried it now with scrolling in discord. Probably worn it out over the years tbh

[steel mica]

Ah so a extra little button

[neon magnet]

Hysteresis gone wrong due to mechanical wear I think

[olive adder]

yo

who tryna play valheim

[tacit crystal]

After doing that in first few deathless runs during last year it got boring, where is the fun in that.

[neon steppe]

but it gets lonely without dverger 🙁

[merry pebble]

Someone in #1024264966712340510 for sure 😄

[gray sand]

We're here (in Valheim) to do a job and get out.
Literally just passing through.

Dverger will still be around after we leave.

[steel mica]

Though they have shrunken in number so probability of them going extinct likely

[gray sand]

And to be fair, they've outlasted everyone before us. So they probably aren't interested in making friends as much as seeing either how long we last or how fast we get the job done.

[gray sand]

Nah, they just need to dig more holes.
-# Because there are no dwarf women, and they just spring out of holes in the ground. 😉😁

LotR reference there 😏

[steel mica]

We have female dvergrs

they're only crossbowers tho

I havent encountered a female mage dvergr

[merry pebble]

Well they got here around few hundred years before vikings started getting sent here. So not as much outlasted but more came after (at least for the stuff like giants which were reeeeeealy long time ago) 😄

[gray sand]

How did they arrive hundreds of years before but also came after? 🤔

[merry pebble]

You said "everyone before us" i meant that, not that they outlasted us 🙂

[gray sand]

Them being here before is the crux of "outlasted" given they've been living in the realm longer than any viking has. They have seen them all come and either perish or leave, yet they have endured.

So I think they see us more as a curiosity of "oh, another one, let's see what happens" rather than a "let's make friends and live at their base."

But it is almost 4 a.m. so time to nap.

[merry pebble]

Oh i agree with that 😄
I was just more arguing the semantics that they didn't really "outlast" everyone before us but "came after" many beings that were there before us 😄

[gray sand]

Outlasted all previous vikings. Not all previous beings 😁

Now let me nap 😭

💛

[last otter]

Goodnight!

[merry pebble]

Night night!

[steel mica]

Sleep soundly

[fossil delta]

Pretty certain when they have talked to me that they said they remember the giants being alive. Not sure how that fits into the over all lore, though.

Also, the dvergr keep respawning outside of their towers. So presumably they come from somewhere we do not know about.

[merry pebble]

Hmm, don't remember any dialog mentionig that 🤔 will have to look it up

[fossil delta]

I do. Its usually a mage when I am in their towers.

[merry pebble]

Found it "I remember yet, the giants of yore..." 🤔

[fossil delta]

Yeah, kind of mind blowing that they would be that old.

I imagine that makes them immortal until killed.

[merry pebble]

Well it clashes with what Grimmcore said #valheim-public-test message <-public test channel
Since few hundred years would not be enough for the bones to petrify. And i wouldnt say it was much longer time than ~500, maybe up to 1000 years since Vikings started appearing in Valheim because we are still finding wooden settlements which are fairly intact

[tiny tiger]

Has there been a change to surtling spawners generation I just found one that was shaped in a mound while usually I’ve always found them half sunken

Like a very unnaturally round mound slightly taller than the player

[merry pebble]

Always could happen 🙂

[orchid locust]

those mounds are a bit uncommon, but they do happen here and there in the swamp

you probably just got (un)lucky and the spawner was placed on top of one of those

[tiny tiger]

It’s a shame the fire doesn’t drop to the ground with those, I’ve automated it and it looks bugged lol

[smoky quarry]

they have little hidden fallout shelters. Some were over taken by bugs as you know

[tribal trench]

Long time since I posted but hey good morning....gotta say I been watching development and Im excited for the content!

[wicked quarry]

Tell me more about this witch magic!

[tacit crystal]

Make a cart outside ward area, drag it to the ward, hit the ward with the cart by pushing it to it until broken, if cart breaks then rebuild it.

[foggy glacier]

Or kite in a gjall to blow everything up for you.

[heady parcel]

Gods below, it is nervous business building tall without the feather cape. Still haven't fallen to my death - had a few scares but managed to keep foods topped up so far.. #building-screenshots message

[wicked quarry]

Ahh ok, thanks. I usually just blow everything up with staff of embers 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but in the beginning of Mistlands you don't possess such item yet.

[echo wind]

I usually just blow everything up with gjalls 😄

[steel mica]

gjall farm when 🤔

[light moat]

Gjall milk? 🤔

[smoky quarry]

i`d imagine itts similar to what Skywalker was milking out of those alien seals in star wars

[neon steppe]

can't be bothered to builda new base hauling ingots too much work

[tiny mortar]

whats everything that we know is coming in 1.0? pls spoilers incase someone wants to go blind I just cant find a proper collection of all info

[fossil delta]

Because there isn't any. We only know we might finally see it some time next year.

Its not like IG is known for telling us what we will be getting before we are even close to getting it.

Look at the last update, they didn't tell us anything until it was released to the public. We only got info from leakers.

[silk token]

you've seen everything they've released?it's not a tiny amount, there's enemies, building pieces, armor, and a weapon

[tacit crystal]

Anything that is revealed in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816

[tiny mortar]

ye just if theres a collected thing. also ive got it already so no worries

[azure yacht]

everything that you already should know

[shut fable]

Just a quick question: Is it too dangerous to cross the Mistlands in silver gear?

[silk token]

do what you gotta do. if you have the best health food you can you won't get 1-shot unless there's a 2 star thiing

[foggy glacier]

depends on how much time you've spent there. I use fenris set until I get to Ashlands now.

[silk token]

do you have an unfortunate dragon boss spawn?

[shut fable]

Yes

[silk token]

it happens to me sometimes, just have max hp food and try to not make too much noise

if you go very slow you can hear bugs nearby try to avoid

or you can pop eikthyr and spring as fast as you can XD

but i'd drop a portal before you attempt and maybe bring one with so you don't have to cross a 2nd time

i had a forced mist crossing in a no map run lol... following my little building piece to know where iw as even going

[fossil delta]

Dangerous? Yes. Doable? Yes. Its also a great time to make use of the running mead, if you have the recipe. The hardest part is the lack of visibility.

[shut fable]

Yeah the lack of visibility scares me

[gray sand]

Everything can be outrun in all biomes if you never look back.

[smoky quarry]

ghosts are more persistant

i mean wraithzz

[fossil delta]

Yeah, having done that, many times, there are plenty of things to hold you up or stop you. Not being able to see what that is in the Mistlands is what gets you killed.

Then to do a death run to the same location while blind? Yeah, I'd find a different Moder location first.

[ionic elk]

I wouldn't without Lightfoot mead. Mistlands is quite hill-ey and you'd do well to pack some lingering stamina and health mead too in case you break your ankles a few too many times. Just don't stop for anything and keep your ears out - most of the enemies can be heard well before they're seen. The biggest threat will be navigating the terrain honestly, may Eikthyr smile upon you!

[smoky quarry]

Need a shining wisp hat like anglerfish

[ionic elk]

If only we had some tools to make stealth a bit more viable, Ashlands would be so cool to go all sneaky in - just the classic ol' FarCry throwing rock would be neat

[smoky quarry]

One does not simply sneak in Ashlands

[chrome badge]

I use my troll armor in Ashlands often enough, it's actually quite effective with decent sneak skills

[silk token]

i actually sneak in mistlands quite a bit, super useful for finding things if you just take your time and listen. ticks = bones/skull, seekers might = dungeon, burbablurbaburbablurb = nope

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I have my Sneak in the 50's this time, without any boosts. So I plan on making a lot more use of it in the Mistlands. Not sure what it would help with in the Ashlands, but I'll think on that for a while.

[ionic elk]

Gahh I meant to say sneaking around in Mistlands would be dope* Ashland's would be like...cute idea, send pics if it all works out

[sly oyster]

I'm trying to envision sneaking in the mistlands but I feel like I have to jump every two seconds there

[gray sand]

Sneaking in Mistlands is mainly about not using wisps at all, since the light that helps you see acts as a beacon attracting enemies to you.

[ionic elk]

I didn't think enemies are actually programmed to be drawn to light, only noise.. although if that's the case, you should be able to use arrows or spears to lure enemies to an area

[gray sand]

🤷‍♂️ maybe hidden noise in the wisp. But I know it draws seekers too you from further away than if you don't have it on.

[neon steppe]

my sneaking is 4 👌

[gray sand]

Taming animals is the best/easiest way to train sneak.

[neon steppe]

yeah that's how i got it from 2 to 4, when i tamed my first 2 lox 🫡

[neon magnet]

2 to 4 is like... sneaking up on a single deer in the first minutes of the game 😅

[smoky quarry]

Gjall sneaks on you

[neon magnet]

I got it from 10 to like 25 when taming a boar

[smoky quarry]

lots of weapons have a dim light that draws beasts of the wild

[neon steppe]

u are never gonna see valkyries again sneaking around!

[sly oyster]

Oh I finally genned a world that has a forest in the middle of snow biome

[neon steppe]

they only look for the greatest warriors!

[sly oyster]

Dang and two maypoles

Massive spawn island but no traders on it

Ah but all three traders are on the island just south and they are walking distance from each other. Imma have to save this one

[echo wind]

Nice! What's the seed?

[sly oyster]

FC3FYrdpPc

Gonna have to check out the mountain forest when I get home. That could be a cool build

[fossil delta]

They find me just fine without the wisp, as I find out every time I go into the Mistlands early to get the puffs, caps, and wood. Even before I start making any noise. Like enough soldiers and seekers have found me already, that I have a trophy for each in this play through. Not that its hard to get seeker trophies.

[fossil delta]

Put that in the #1202740443352137838 channel.

[smoky quarry]

there is an island swamp with like 30 iron mines

[orchid locust]

man, why can't I use the blast furnace for copper, tin and iron?

[sly oyster]

Yeah the one issue with creature level mod. Entering mistlands for the first time and meeting a 5* fire enhanced bug immediately

[gray sand]

Because the devs said so.

[orchid locust]

yeah...

[fossil delta]

Yeah, thats how I get most of my sneak skill, while taming boar, wolves and Lox. Didn't tame lox this time.

[gray sand]

There's also the potential angle of how irl different metals need different temps and the Blast Furnace being hotter than normal would make it burn out the iron or melt the copper/tin 🤷‍♂️

[fossil delta]

You actually smelt metals at different temps. So the blast furnace are hotter temps than tin, copper, bronze and iron can handle. Look up real life metal smelting. There is a lot of facts behind it.

[smoky quarry]

metals use different types of furnaces to melt and mix.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I find the info about alloys particularly interesting.

[gray sand]

Deep North aluminium 😏

[merry pebble]

My bets are on gold 😄

[light moat]

Same!

[neon steppe]

aluminium kinda weak for endgame metal

[echo wind]

Maybe steel

[merry pebble]

-# Heh, i knew we talked about gold in DN somewhere before xD #valheim-public-test message

[merry pebble]

Wouldnt think so 🤔 that would come in swamp, since we use iron and coal anyway

[shy marlin]

My bet is on tungsten 😎

[merry pebble]

Good luck shaping that to anything usable xD
-# Tho you are magic viking, so you might be able to 😄

[echo wind]

Afaik vikings didn't really mine gold (but acquired it through trade and raiding) however there are records they made steel

[shy marlin]

tbh I hope they don't go for a real life metal and just make up something

[gray sand]

Building material possibilities though.

[gray sand]

Whitemetal. But make it blue in-game to match how Blackmetal is green 😏

[merry pebble]

Yes 😄 but i was more coming from the angle that steel is simply carbon iron alloy, so if we would get it it would be in swamp when we use coal (source of carbon) to melt iron, which would impart some of the carbon into it making it steel. 🙂

[neon steppe]

yeah, it's not like there isn't magic already in the game

or you know like all other fantasy stuff

haha

[shy marlin]

lmao

[light moat]

Oh right! How could I forget

[fluid mountain]

Hi guys, how are you? I just killed the 5th boss, Yagluth, now I'm getting ready to go to the 6th boss, which is the queen, am I right?

[wide salmon]

Congrats on your Victory over Yag! Yes the Queen is your next target 👑

[merry pebble]

Yep, The Queen is the 6th boss 😄

[fluid mountain]

Could you give me tips on how to kill her? I'm playing with my friend, we want to know her weak points

[merry pebble]

She is not weak to any type of dmg, but when using melee weapons avoid the ones that do pierce dmg since she is resistant to it 🙂

Also, magic is a good choice for her.

[fluid mountain]

resistant to all types of damage? I'm really screwed lol

[merry pebble]

No, she is only resistant to pierce 🙂

Other dmg (except spirit) she is neutral to

[wide salmon]

Magic or weapons that do frost damage is a good choice and also my best advice keep moving! Use feather cloaks to jump down and away safely if she corners you on the stairs or levels. She spawns lots of adds so prepare for a long fight with meads food etc.

[gray sand]

Best tip:
Make her health drop to zero before yours does.

[merry pebble]

Frost is not any better at damaging her than other types except pierce and spirit tho 😄

[wide salmon]

Yes 😊 I like it for slowing her and the adds down so you can manoeuvre and get more hits in.

[fluid mountain]

lmao, thanks a lot for the tips guys, I'm going to get ready and go after her, send her straight to helheim

[wide salmon]

Give her hell, friend!

[fluid mountain]

I'm from Brazil, my English isn't very good yet, so sorry if I write something wrong.

[wide salmon]

Your English is 1000% better than my Portuguese, you're perfectly understandable 😊

[fluid mountain]

haha thanks, if you need help learning Portuguese you can add me, I would be happy if you taught me English too

[wide salmon]

The joke is that I'm terrible at any other languages, so no thank you at the moment, but I appreciate the offer!

[glass orbit]

any tips to find sea serpent easily?

[merry pebble]

You have best chance at finding them going at sea in night while storm is going on 🙂

[glass orbit]

is there a better % of it spawning if i use a raft instead of the bigger ships

[wide salmon]

Or literally any time you're doing a naked run to pick up a far away body if my luck is anything to go by 🤣

[glass orbit]

because at my first spawn i crafter a raft and went to across the small lake in my island which happened to be a ocean biome, that thing spawned out of nowhere in the middle of the day withotu any storm

[glass orbit]

exactly bruh

[merry pebble]

Nah 😄 they can spawn at night and in storm, so if you combine the two your chances are better 🙂

[wide salmon]

There are some day time spawns, but they are rarer, if you know where abouts that one you found with your raft was you could go back and see if it's there again.

Otherwise the only thing the ships effect is how many serpent nibbles it takes to sink them and how fast you can get out of its way

[merry pebble]

The only day time spawns can happen in storm 🙂 but if you dont notice them they will linger around, night spawns will despawn at dawn

[glass orbit]

yeah i figured i was just very unlucky

thanks for the help guys

[wide salmon]

Ah, interesting! I noticed they lingered (good for petting zoos) didn't realise it was still storm spawn though! I learned a thing, neat!

[foggy glacier]

Wow Valheim RNG. Found my first ice cave on my starter island, with a vegvisir and Tetra both!

[shadow void]

Dang 500 hours in and I'm still getting pwned by stone golems 😿

[shadow void]

Is there a limit to the number of day storm serpents in an area

[foggy glacier]

same. My first 3 deaths have been from being yeeted off a mountain.

[foggy glacier]

the chance is one per chunk.

[wide salmon]

Pickaxe rodeo is a more fun way to be yeeted down the mountain (and if you get it right does take them down easier)

[merry pebble]

Iirc the limit is 1 per zone/chunk 🤔 will try to check and confirm tho.
-# Btw thats for spawning, if you drag them together you can have as many as you want provided you make them stay

[wide salmon]

(pickaxe rodeo for context is jumping on their head and swinging a pickaxe)

[shadow void]

The one time i found a two star wolf, i was dodging all of his attacks while trying to get him into a hole just for a stone golem to 1 shot me and then kill the wolf :c

[shadow void]

Is it only ocean storms or land biome seas also work

[merry pebble]

Yep the spawn limit is 1 per full ocean zone
And the timer till next spawn is possible is 16 minutes 40 seconds

[merry pebble]

Ocean

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones#List_of_spawners
Here you can find most of the stuff 😄

[shadow void]

If one spawn in an ocean chunk and I drag it into a meadow lake can another spawn in that ocean

[merry pebble]

Yep, once its out of the chunk then next time there is a spawn attempt new one should spawn 🙂

[shadow void]

I can make a serpent fishery with some effort! 🙂

[wide salmon]

100%. Noodle petting zoo ❤️

[foggy glacier]

And a cultist trophy first shot!

[pliant hatch]

I doubt it.

It's a very small chance a serpent will spawn at that exact chunk in the very next storm that rages there.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, 5% chance on spawning

[shadow void]

Wait is it once per storm

Or per tick

[merry pebble]

5% chance every 16 minutes 40 seconds if the serpent is not already there

[shadow void]

Seems like it goes to a 100% when the boat is full of iron though 🐱

[pliant hatch]

You got storm serpents and night serpents.

The ones that spawn during the night, will despawn during the day.

The ones that spawn during a storm will remain there, but you also need to have been at that same chunk for them to do that.

[merry pebble]

Well, sonsider how many of the 64x64 zones you sail through on a normal iron haul 😄

[shadow void]

Ah so there's only like 2 chances per day even with constant storm

[merry pebble]

In one zone*
That is quite important 🙂 you can sail around visiting many zones

[smoky quarry]

it needs to rain at night, storm or not. Just be wet

[foggy glacier]

Rain or night, doesn't have to be both.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, just raining is enough for serpents.

[foggy glacier]

You can get them during the day in a storm or at night in any weather.

[fossil delta]

Just rain during the day as well.

[merry pebble]

-# I like that we repeated that for like 4th time now xD

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure a lot of people never scroll up.

[smoky quarry]

forums were better for that

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I wish forums would become popular again.

[gray sand]

RAIN

[merry pebble]

Well i am not mad 😄 maybe after many years people will actually remember now that there are no day spawns without storms/rain xD

[fossil delta]

Yep. My biggest complaint still remains, though.

[pliant hatch]

Oh, you're actually Arwen, Puncher of Aragon?

[merry pebble]

-# Man usually i get LotR references pretty easily, this one evades be tho 👀

[pliant hatch]

Given your comment gives me the feeling of "There's always hope."......

[tribal trench]

Every time I look at Rocky sitting on my end table at night ... I feel like I'm always gonna make it through the night no matter what ><

[gray sand]

Uruk army spawn chance increases with rain 😏

[silk token]

im so jealous. i found rocky ONCE and it was immediately before a hardcore death

[tribal trench]

Yikes!

[silk token]

there's no trick to finding him is there? i was randomly holding down E gathering as i was running through a BF one time and it just happened, he was totally underneath a bush

[tribal trench]

I found mine in the dark forest biome next to a troll

It's been a while

[silk token]

u actually noticed he looked different or randomly picked him up?

[tribal trench]

I was intentionaly looking for slopes where rocks spawn and found a small slope with a tree and a troll but soon as I got close it said rock on it and i grabbed it and ran

I looked for days in the meadows on slopes and even in the mountains

[fossil delta]

So far I have always found Rocky due to randomly picking up rocks to build or repair something.

[tribal trench]

Nice

[fossil delta]

Well, that means I often don't find him until I am at the Plains stage. I think once I was even already in Mistlands. IE my first time finding him.

[tribal trench]

I'm really excited to run a new seed with my buddy. Valheim is such fun

[fossil delta]

Yeah, my wife and I play it together a lot. She is approaching 2,000 hours now.

[tribal trench]

Wow... I sailed a bit myself but not quite 2000 yet

yeah 1226

[fossil delta]

Well, I am retired, so have played all day and night at times. She still works full time.

[tribal trench]

I see

you got a favorite biome?

[fossil delta]

Plains. I still love wiping out fuling villages.

[tribal trench]

Yeah that is fun

I enjoyed and still love the Swamp the most

[fossil delta]

The variety of ways helps keep it fun. Pull in growths, get an abomination or troll, or best of all, get hunted while attacking a village. Still, I usually just walk in and start killing them.

The craziness that doing that can cause helps keep it fresh as well.

[tribal trench]

I really really liked the concept of the lone black tower in the plains

very nice touch and my friends and I enjoyed that experience quite well as I remember hehe

[fossil delta]

That sealed tower you do for Hildir is a lot of fun.

[tribal trench]

I still have his head above my front gate

man o man that mage melted face though haha yes that was a good one

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I like both of those trophies.

Nice homage to Mad Max Thunderdome, too.

[tribal trench]

Well looks like my buddy is straight whiped out from work and I will be waiting to progress in his game....dang

[fossil delta]

Heh, my wife usually gets off work angry, so wants to kill things. So perfect for Valheim.

[tribal trench]

lol

[shut quiver]

hi! got a question! if i personally tame a lox, can my friends ride it as well in multiplayer?

[fossil delta]

As long as you have the saddle, yes.

[gray sand]

Tame vs. Wild is a universal tag. It is not player-specific.

[fossil delta]

I was riding two lox at the same time earlier today. It was because I was fighting them, though. I got on top of one, then it got on top of its buddy. That was fun.

Wife is ready to kill stuff, so later.

[gray sand]

This means so many different things depending on context 😄

[empty nest]

Wife Argo the worst

[last otter]

What your guy’s favorite Biome!?

[gray sand]

Mountain or Plains.

[last otter]

Why?

[gray sand]

No no. You didn't say we had to explain. You just asked what the favorites were 😏

[last otter]

…

You’re right.

[light moat]

Black Forest, no doubt

[shy marlin]

Mistlands

[wicked quarry]

I love the Plains but I have yet to see the Ashlands. If Mistlands weren’t so craggy it might be a contender

[last otter]

Oh my, you just reminded me of one of my Viking tales.

[onyx lava]

This game still doesnt like me, been slowly getting into plains, just got full set of armor and ategir. 2 normal fullings fighting a tar blob, fighting a lox, fighting a squito, and they all attack me instead....

[silk token]

i wanna say mistlands just to light the fire

although i do think i appreciate mistlands more than most

[gray sand]

Mistland's is 3rd for me.

[wooden tapir]

if someone ran into your super epic turf war over pride wouldnt you all attack them too?

[silk token]

POGGGGGGGG when you +1 ding a seafarer's feast

[gray sand]

I actually hate +1's when crafting food because I want them in specific, matching amounts 😭

[silk token]

or sailors bounty imean whatever

haha but FEASTS??? that's like

[gray sand]

Yes, if I am making 10 of each and one of them pings to 11....

[silk token]

you make 10 feasts in one go? you're a monster

[last otter]

I was playing with two of my brothers, and I was the “bad” one in the group. We sail to a little piece of land, being chased by a Serpent, my brother had the bright idea of bringing it to land. What we didn’t know was there was the tiniest piece of mist lands attached to the plain we sailed to, we were NOT ready lol. My brother jumps in the water WITH the serpent, I get confused and jumped with him (wasn’t the plan) and immediately yell “I’m drowning!” lol. My other brother was low key carrying, he was building and naming the portal back home while being chased by two lox’s. We somehow got the boat back up and our plan was to just get off shore. BRO. I kid you not, they put ME on sailor, for SOME REASON. I get on the wheel and the boat starts moving backwards, I really didn’t know what was happening, I accidentally backed into the Mistlands and the loud music started playing and I got SO SCARED, my brothers yelling at me, “WHAT’RE YOU DOING.”
“I DON’T KNOW.” Lolol, we ended up getting away because of the carry lol, sorry for the long but interesting Viking tale!

[gray sand]

📖

[last otter]

[silk token]

this is valhiem

[chrome badge]

Reminds me of moments when people throw it in reverse by accident and drive right into something.

[last otter]

Lol, also the reaction when one of the Mistlands creatures flys out of the mist, my two brothers were fighting for their life while was terrified backing UP INTO THE MISTLANDS lol.

[silk token]

teacher says, every time someone screams "what are you doing" when accompanied by "what the hell is that", an angel gets its wings

[last otter]

There’s a reverse mode!? 😭

[chrome badge]

The oar speeds have > forward and < backward

[silk token]

lol you should have screamed "SOMETHING'S GOT THE BOAT!"

[last otter]

OH LOL, that would’ve been perfect.

I actually thought there was a mechanism where the enemy’s break the boat without destroying it.

[silk token]

that's amazing.

i'd pay like... 80 bucks if somehow IG could wipe my memory of this game completely and i could play it fresh with a few friends

[shy marlin]

same

but prolly more

[last otter]

All the vocalizations of the Viking “OOOOHHHHH” as it says Mistlands, bro. My headphones were NOT on low volume.

[gray sand]

$80? Go to a department store, get 2 extension cords and some tin foil.

Make a bandana very tightly around your head. Put a fork through it on each of your temples. Take the extension cords and put them in separate outlets then touch the ends of them to either fork at the same time.

Boom, memory wiped.

[onyx lava]

We didn't start the fire....

[smoky quarry]

mistland great just because of the gjall alone. Fantastic mob idea

[wary nimbus]

any tips for smooth approaches to floors? I keep having a slight gap that my character doesn't step over neatly from flat earth to wood flooring

[last otter]

Oh is that the jellyfish looking thing? I love the audio.

Reminds me of Subnautica.

[gray sand]

Stairs?

[silk token]

i did zero spoilers mistlands. when the first what-the-f is that sunk below the fog enough to see tentacles and the death tuba noises happened pants were brown

[smoky quarry]

jellyfish? Not my 1st thought but ok

[wary nimbus]

don't they make your character sort of hop up?

[onyx lava]

Hey bro what you and your fam do in your free time is up to you... 😛

[gray sand]

Those are ladders.

[smoky quarry]

the tuba is horn calling ragnarok.

[wary nimbus]

I don't have access to ladders I don't think

[onyx lava]

I still havent been to mists..

[wary nimbus]

stairs worked though, they are mostly underground but hey

[smoky quarry]

they aint going anywhere

[silk token]

do not go into the tuba music

[onyx lava]

Reminds me of family guy

[smoky quarry]

when the tuba blows, it starts

[onyx lava]

I am in the 'where to build my base' process, my shanty shack house with small extensions is not cutting it. was going to do plains for all the farming in 1 place but it isnt as appealing as a mountain castle, but i like the idea of lox as guard dogs lol

[wary nimbus]

I'm not far in but it feels reasonable to make several smaller bases and maybe one more consistent central one?

[onyx lava]

flip a coin? everyones different

If your on vanilla settings and dont change the abillity to teleport everything then central base makes more sense because you dont want to me moving different metals here there and everywhere

also it uses more resources having multiple of the same thing (places to cook, places to smelt, etc)

[wary nimbus]

what radius are creatures loaded in? interested in taming

[onyx lava]

62m

[wary nimbus]

ok, so about 3 workbench ranges stacked, thank you

[gray sand]

Rest of the world: 62m
America: 3 workbench ranges

😄

[onyx lava]

America, people who have put boots on the moon. the world....

[shy marlin]

you'd be surprised at how effective measuring things in football fields is

[onyx lava]

relational distance measuring is a thing ... here hold my beer let me show you

[gray sand]

Which is weird given that a football field is literally 120yd, but everyone uses it to mean 100yd 😄

[wary nimbus]

how far is a meter in game? how tall is the player character?

[gray sand]

Player is probably 1.8-1.9 given they fit through the 2m door.

[onyx lava]

Xerxes is what i wanna be tall as

[old nebula]

can just anyone join the voice channels ?

[onyx lava]

FFS how far do mobs chase you i have run through 2 biomes and this lox that was almost tame (as the other one tamed moments before this one chased me) and he wont stop

[light moat]

Basically until they lose sight of you

[onyx lava]

its night cold and raining...

[smoky quarry]

Lox has mega vision

[onyx lava]

meaning it will kill me before escape lol im cheeky went to another map

well that saved me from dieing but he didnt go back to where he was so now i gotta finish taming him there and hope the brute doesnt kill him after, also without a harpoon (havent found a serpent yet) is a saddle the only way to movelox

[wary nimbus]

do you recover all materials from things like smelters? bit scared of deconstructing things with high value items

[onyx lava]

100%

all mats

[wary nimbus]

oh my god I just got griefed by a raid, these greylings destroyed all my seed carrots 🙁

[pliant hatch]

Spamming that nonsens in multiple channels, I'm afraid.

not that young gamers who play valheim aren't awesome.

awh i missed it :>

[odd helm]

How that even got past automod baffles me

Gonna have to look at that

thanks for the ping @pliant hatch

[pliant hatch]

You're welcome.

Now, what did you use? Klossen, atgeir, frost staf?

It's on my banner for a reason~

[ebon oyster]

Anyone have any recommendations on base building resources? Ive played through all the way through ashlands once and I am playing vanilla with some world modifiers. At the plains now. I want to make a base that can expand for end game. Any recommendations for base building tip resources?

[pliant hatch]

I usually put all my crafting stations and one portal (to a hub) in my basement, have food production and a living area at the ground floor, bedroom and some entertainment at the first floor and an armory at the second floor.

I'm still trying to figure out which materials to use, but basement, ground floor and first floor walls are made of stone. Second floor and the one tile roof will most likely being done from Grausten and the rest of the roof will be done from the tarred shingles.

For the Eitr refinery I build an independent building wich is connected by a bridge; both from Black Marble. Although I'm doing that building in stone first, so I can put the windmill on top.

Another option is to keep a smaller house and put the various crafting stations in separate buildings to give the impression of being a small village.

[ebon oyster]

That is really good build philosophy. Last time I played, I had the small village type build. Main house with bed and rest multipliers. Then, I had a separate rectangular storage building that was surrounded in the cardinal directions by crafting stations and ordinal directions by things like charcoal kiln and furnace.

Each little area had its own feel. The problem was I did not surround it with defenses. I need to work on that this time, too.

Ive watched videos of people doing the big building with everything stuffed in there and it looks really cool but I have no idea how to go about getting it all in. Plus, I am on the coast, so I dont think that I can dig underground to make a "basement"

[onyx lava]

Do animals baby gestation conitune when not loaded? got 2 lox tamed but i dont want to just afk my life away

[fossil delta]

They grow when your not around.

However, you need to stay until born.

Even though I have had pups pop out upon my returning, so...

[onyx lava]

yes gestation is growth in the womb so the first part doesnt matter

OMG the screen bob on the lox.. going hurl

[fossil delta]

😄

[onyx lava]

So i guess i need to make my base in the plains unless i can magic poof teleport lox to my main base, I need the food.

[wary nimbus]

can you carve a channel into an island? like the panama canal

[onyx lava]

Depends on how far above sea level i think the water table is 'level'

there is a limit to how far down you can dig at any point I think... for example digging down on a mountain wont let you dig down to sea levle

so you have to be close enough to sea level or you cant dig down far enough

coast line eddies and mini islands are where i would make mine

[wary nimbus]

maybe continue a river?

but excellent, that is promising at least

[fossil delta]

People have taken them back to base on the longboats, but its a challenge, since you do not want them to aggro on your boat, in the middle of the ocean.

Or anywhere too far from shore.

[gray sand]

You have a spreadsheet with people's names on it?
I am scurrrred.

[fossil delta]

Your also limited by the water itself. You can only dig so deep into water before your made to swim. But its doable, I've done it, a guy I used to play with did it.

[glossy heath]

the names of people from whom i may receive fresh cat photos muahaha

[gray sand]

👀

[fossil delta]

My wife and I beat Yag tonight. Neither of us have died yet. We didn't intend this to be a zero death attempt, but we'll see how long we go until we start dying. Maybe we will make it into the Ashlands.

[visual sparrow]

Very nice. I’m planning to beat yag tonight or tomorrow

He seems pretty easy from the videos I’ve watched

Easier than moder but we’ll see

[gray sand]

Easier if you do the tailbone cheese. Slightly harder if you don't.

[fluid cove]

yes i've done it before on a smaller scale, preferably look for the narrowest part of the land and dig following the cardinal direction (east-west or north-south) so you'd get a neat looking wall

i usually just space out like 8-metres wide (4x2m wood plank) as a guide for the width, and as for the depth, its more a pain in the ass to do tho

2m deep is enough for the Longship i think, idk about the Drakkar

[fossil delta]

I used the silver sword, my wife used Frostner, I tanked him, she flanked him. It was the easiest fight I've ever had with him.

[wary nimbus]

do piggys path towards anything in particular? trying to make a slide for piggies from a pen, hoping I didn't need to start by building the pen at a higher elevator first

[gray sand]

A slide?

[wary nimbus]

to get them out of the 5 boar per 10m limit

[gray sand]

Oh... you're making one of those cruelty infinite spawn boxes 🙁

[wary nimbus]

yes!

not much more cruel than raising things to slaughter, but yes

[steel mica]

Im so scared to fight the elder

Not because its a hard boss

but because the after effect it comes after defeating the elder

OH BOI

[merry pebble]

You are Safe if you didn't kill any of the big blue friends 😄

[steel mica]

A 1 star bjorn

[tacit crystal]

After effect like unlocking spice for first feasts and other cool stuff?

[steel mica]

Has anyone encountered a 1 star bjorn yet?

[tacit crystal]

First bear in new world was 1 star.

[steel mica]

#screenshots message

check

I am so tempted to try and kill it

but I know I will lose

Alrighty time to fight the elder

[tacit crystal]

Even have encountered 2 star. #screenshots message

[tribal trench]

you got this

[steel mica]

That boi bout to hit like a damn truck

elder on very hard combat

what could go wrong

[tacit crystal]

At that point I had plains tier equipment, so not so bad.

[steel mica]

Mhm

BAD TIMING ON THE DODDGE LMAO

it just straight up one tapped me

[visual sparrow]

Bears are going to make the black forest hell whenever I start a new playthrough

They’re easy now but man weren’t trolls enough in the beginning?

I feel like I see bears way more than trolls

[wary nimbus]

any tips on what could be holding a copper deposit together after mining out its connection to the side and the bottom? its one of those deposits where I think its partially sunk under the lower terrain limit

there is still some dirt up top maybe? not connected to ground though

[visual sparrow]

Maybe if you mine it after its floating

[wary nimbus]

thats what I've been doing, its just.. floating. I read that there can be small connections but I feel like I've gone pretty far?

[novel dragon]

I’m new can anyone lmk how to make plains food

[merry pebble]

Preperation tahle and oven needed for some 🙂

[visual sparrow]

Prob a terrain thing. The game might not know what to do if it’s in the ground? Idk

I’ve never mined copper like that

Then again ||silver|| doesn’t have that issue

[merry pebble]

Start mining from the pieces closest to ground and walls 🙂

[heady parcel]

I have stopped digging out entire copper nodes, there's so much copper everywhere that I mine what is out in the open and perhaps a couple of meters down, then I move on. Turns out it is much more effective - and doesn't leave behind these huge holes in the ground...

I also bring the cultivator and sow grass before I leave a site, to make them less of an eye sore. Even where I am pretty sure I won't ever return. There's probably a name for that... When I have enough stone I think I'll go back and refill tar excavations too, they're about the ugliest sores I have left behind in my worlds...

[tribal trench]

Acquire fishing rod... catch raw fish in meadows.. Acquire barley... build a windmill (in the plains).. Use the fish and barley flour to make fish wraps

Lox pie is a bit more straight forward

[heady parcel]

Aye, kill lox, pick cloudberries, make pie!

[tribal trench]

for stamina I started out with cloud berries

[gray sand]

Not to be confused with should or would berries.

[heady parcel]

Bread is good stamina food, feels like a waste of flour but once you have a big enough field of barley you'll never run out

Stacks to 20 too which is always a plus when exploring a no-portals world

Very true I didn't think much bout that

[tribal trench]

Should berries or would berries?

[gray sand]

Yes. Because you have "could" berries.

[tribal trench]

thank you for catching that

at least I can edit it so it's not permanent 😆

[gray sand]

😁

[tribal trench]

Is there.....now a Bear raid on your base added to the roster?

Because that would be pretty rough 3 or 4 of em at a time

[nocturne wolf]

Call to arms didn't have any new raids

[steel mica]

I'll have to try my luck finding the traders because I have no map and max difficulty

yes that includes raids

which is why im terrified for defeating elder because of troll raids every like 15m iirc

on the bright side 2x resources

When deep north arrives im gonna set it all back to default

except the map

Ive gotten used to playing with no map and just making use of the environment as physical markers

Can Lox suffocate in walls or something?

Found my Lox dead in his pen when i got on my world today and i have no idea how he could have died

[ornate basin]

So bread and pie

I usually use 2 stamina and 1 health food

What other stamina food should i eat? Onion soup?

[silk token]

“blood pudding” is another plains stamina food of you have the blood bags for it

[ornate basin]

Thats the problem
I would rather spend them on medium healing potions

[pliant hatch]

If you're plains level, harvesting blood bags from the swamp shouldn't be a problem at all.

You will most likely have to return to the swamp to get more iron anyway, so the blood bags can be an "additional" harvest.

[ornate basin]

Its just annoying to get them

Plus i made a farm with that broom from the witch that doesnt work

[barren whale]

i simply eat cloudberry until i get access to salad

[summer thistle]

copper is just a pita like this. all you can do it start chipping a way at it proper at the edges where you feel like it might connect, into the middle because there could be a random rock spawn, etc. it's a pain and never as easy as silver

[proud slate]

That’s health food my boy

[foggy glacier]

I thought so too, but according to the wiki it's yellow fork.

[barren whale]

blood pudding is stamina

if you don't use bows you can use eyescream

[foggy glacier]

if you're at plains level you don't need bows. a lvl 4 iron mace one-shots them.
