[wintry valve]

Also I discovered that just pushing enemies with my battleaxe makes fighting them charred warriors easy

I wonder if I can cheese Reto that way

[heady parcel]

That's the way to go. Naval bombardment, soften them up!

[chrome badge]

It only effects roughly 2.5m around it, easy enough to put near the smelter anyways

[wintry valve]

is reto resistant to knockback or something?

[chrome badge]

You'd mentioned it having a slow rate, but it doesn't as far as I can see, though it's certainly less passive.

[heady parcel]

I put mine on a little pedestal away from anything breakable, turns out greys like to throw rocks at it though, so I have to repair it now and then...

[chrome badge]

Interesting, I've massive walls around my base so I can't relate to that 😛

[heady parcel]

This time I only put my main house behind the moat, secondary buildings are outside but behind walls so monsters don't aggro on them - but the obliterator is still out in the open. Might have to change that...

[slate grove]

One more taming question: does the taming time have to be uninterrupted?

[merry pebble]

If its interupted the progress will pause, when the animal is calm again it resumes 🙂

[heady parcel]

Not from what I have seen, but when interrupted it seems to take a good damn while before it starts ticking again.

Gods, can we have black metal arrows please - simply equal to needle arrows, just as something to use the metal for...

[slate grove]

Awesome thanks guys

[tacit crystal]

Bolts.

[heady parcel]

Pfft, crossbows are wall decorations.

But I guess I'll be making some ballistae soon

[tacit crystal]

Turret and missiles.

[fossil delta]

That crossbow has its uses, and if I get my skill high enough to cut that reload time to 2 seconds or less....

[wintry valve]

Yesterday I wad thonking of armor types that this game could have. A needle armor for plains, made from deathskitos. Its pointy all over, is a light armor, and does some piercing damage around when rolling.

[tepid prawn]

but the plains has already got a light armour

[wintry valve]

So did black forest and yet here we are.

[shy marlin]

tbf i feel like the bear armors fall more in line with medium armors

[tacit crystal]

Depends. One could consider light armor those that don't grant any movement speed penalty, when medium armor those that have slight penalty. But then again, mage sets are not quite the "medium" type armor.

[shy marlin]

yea the line between med and light sets in valheim is pretty blurred

My reference frame is Ask set being a medium set, and being pretty comparable to the bear sets

[tacit crystal]

Maybe the "true" medium armor would be Root set, considering how tanky the harnesk itself is.

[shy marlin]

yea i'd agree

[tacit crystal]

Then again there are always some balancing ahead.

[shy marlin]

I for sure thought the root harnesk was gonna get adjusted down to -33% or -25% in the ptb

but idk

Running around with the bear set in my playthru has made me realize even more just how strong that chestpiece is

[tepid prawn]

I used root chest , rest bear 🙂

troll set getting less love from myself now

[uncut bough]

how do ppl even fish in the swamp? the leeches makes boatfishing incredibly frustrating

wait what i got iron ore from fishing? not iron scrap, iron ore

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, and how strong it is still in Ashlands. Although I go comfortably with Ask set there. 🤌

[visual ivy]

Iron brooch <3

my beloved
I hope they won't nerf you

[wintry valve]

am currently breeding an ask set

[buoyant panther]

I admire anyone with the patience/bravery for ask-taming. I feel like their ||eggs|| should be able to made into the highest-tier food, with the amount of work you have to put into it

[wintry valve]

its not exactly hard

I make a small crater, and I shove two askvins in there using a harpoon

then I shove like 6 purple thing and then I practice sneaking by walking into a wall nearby for half an hour

Then I bring back two eggs that I throw in a big house

and then when the askvins inevitably fills the entire volume of the house, I kill them all

[tepid prawn]

That's been a thing for quite some time, ore looks more beautiful than the scrap!

[ebon oyster]

I am playing single player. Is it bad to log out on a boat? I brought the boat to a stop for the most part...

[uncut bough]

Dude i swear ppl here find the flatest most fertile meadows possible while the only place i found is an uneven meadows with jagged shape because it wraps around a mountain so the ground just bends toward it

[uncut bough]

It isnt bad but most likely you will spawn on the boat or near the boat

So you might have to swim for it

[ebon oyster]

That is no problem

I should have eaten my carrot soup before logging out i guess lol

[neon steppe]

i found draugr village today right next to ocean, it is super flat

try to look for village somewhere

just hauled all my ingots to it, gonna start building it tomorrow 🏗️

[wintry valve]

new mead idea:
240 proof IPA of clarity,
10% more exp for 5 minutes, you then die afterward

[wintry valve]

for real tho I remember having an idea for a new type of mead, and there would be one per biome
The idea is that you take it after eating. They equalise all food buff duration and add a few minutes based on the quality of the mead. The mead itself has a cooldown of, I dunno, 15 minutes or something.

[fluid cove]

i found this really cool island with a huge lagoon surrounded on each side by 5 biomes (Meadows, BF, Swamp, Mountain, Plains) and Yagluth being in the Plains side of it

scouted the swamp, its relatively plenty with sunken crypts as well

gonna make a castle on a small islet facing Yagluth

[wintry valve]

what even is grausten?

[fossil delta]

Looks like concrete to me.

[blazing orchid]

[wintry valve]

Well cant be that, since you get it from large rock formation

[fossil delta]

Since when is Valheim realistic? Maybe the stone is limestone.

[tacit crystal]

Tried to look up for something, initially I thought graust would have been something in Swedish but that wasn't the case.

[wintry valve]

everything that happens in Valheim is 100% real

[fossil delta]

They have never had us really go into how we process build materials out side of metals. We don't have to make lumber yards, we don't have to make extruders, pipe benders, etc... Most of it is just abstractly representative. Which I am fine with. I don't want exacting detail.

[tacit crystal]

Since some creatures and items names mean something in Swedish, like fuling, asksvin and Klossen.

[wintry valve]

what do... wait... whats a klossen?

oh, one of the candied weapon

right, I forgot about those

[fluid cove]

imagine if IGS introduces fluid mechanics to the game allowing for water piping and water-wheels for hydropowers

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, the Ashlands jade mace. Kloss is basically brick in English.

[wintry valve]

I used to be part of an rpg design circle, and one member was obsessed with making a tabletop RPG with realistic fluid mechanics

somehow everything worked using rock paper scissors, though

This group attracted interesting people

[fluid cove]

Valheim Industrial Age

[fossil delta]

😄 Think I played that RPG at a convention. Or at least watched.

[wintry valve]

oh I dont think this guy ever completed anything

[fossil delta]

I mean using rock, paper scissors.

[wintry valve]

perhaps

anyway, next time I see smiffe, im gon ask what is grausten

[fluid cove]

what if the Deep North requires us to boil water to create steam in order to warm our base much like Ashlands base requiring shield generators

[wintry valve]

You dont need a shield for ashland :V

[fluid cove]

i like that energy of yours

[fossil delta]

We have blast furnaces. Not a stretch.

[tacit crystal]

He probably be here within an hour I think.

[wintry valve]

I mean im in the process of making a giant grausten house

its fire proof

[tacit crystal]

Or is it?

[wintry valve]

well the giant lava blob hopping on it sure doesnt set fire to the rock

[fluid cove]

speaking of which, how is it that a smelted ingot weighs heavier than the ore it's made from 😭

[tacit crystal]

Yep, those deal big AoE damage tho.

[wintry valve]

you mean big mining damage

[tacit crystal]

Which is AoE.

[wintry valve]

seriously, one of the biggest challenge in the ashlands is trying to explore without your inventory filling with all sorts of stones

I also have the psychological need of prioritising harvesting the trees before they burn down

because ashwood is limited (even if theres a truckload of it around)

[tacit crystal]

Very good way to get lots of grausten is to lure lava blob to explode inside those ruins around. They have pieces buried very deep underground, so they explode and pop on ground.

Now with lava blob vials it's even easier to get them to explode where you want.

[fossil delta]

I get up on those big rocks and have Morgryn tear them apart for me,

[tacit crystal]

Morgen is also one good grausten miner. And Valkyrie.

They are less controllable tho.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I just kill Valkyrie,

I usually need their drops more than I need their labor anyways.

Usually hundreds of grausten laying around after good fights as well.

[wintry valve]

What if we had the ability to update older armor tiers with newer materials?

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, the building mats are very plentiful there. But in case for needing some more quickly demolishing buildings with blobs is fast.

[wintry valve]

Add black metal to your iron armor to make black iron armor or something

I say that because some set have interesting properties but their defense scores really do not follow with the rest of the game. I think it could be interesting to have, say, an improved version of the troll armor, boosted with some more advanced material like linen or lox pelts

[tacit crystal]

Certainly would be interesting if some older armor could be used as crafting ingredient to some new armor. Some other games do similar thing.

[wintry valve]

Another reason I say that is because iron armor looks neat.

Hella fine, one could say

[agile star]

The wolf armor looks even better tho. I like your idea and it would be neat to choose 1 armor set you like visually to make it viable. My favorite heavy armor style is the wolf but recently I am only making the light armor sets because I save a lot of resources that way, get other bonuses and less movementspeed penalty or none

[wintry valve]

you mean the silver armor

Im pretty sure wolf armor is extra light

[copper bramble]

silver armor and fenris armor

[agile star]

In the mountains the heavy armor set is called Wolf Armor, the light armor set is called Fenris Armor

[wintry valve]

Oh wait you are right

[agile star]

That armor is the best looking heavy armor set in the game imo

[wintry valve]

It actually never occured to me that the helmet was wolf shaped

[agile star]

Kinda like dragon shape because you need a drake trophy to make it but it can also look like a wolf

[wintry valve]

I should look at it better. I guess

[agile star]

The horns look good

[upbeat girder]

guys wheres the like a channel to play valheim together but not hosting a server?

[heady parcel]

Saw a troll lose a fight with a couple of draugr and a leech. Seems it couldn't hit the leech in the water, but was distracted so the draugr archer could fire away until the troll fell over. Kinda rooted for the troll there, dangit.

#screenshots message @dreamy quest Either use the axe or switch to other melee weapon from frostner, apart from that you are pretty much set 😄

[dreamy quest]

yeah, i realised that did more damage while fighting her, but i took her down pretty easily anyway

i didnt even use 100 arrows

[agile star]

Moder is an easy boss to fight if you are careful

Yagluth, the Queen and Fader are the most difficult boss fights in the game for sure

[slim sluice]

Excuse me?

[agile star]

You wanted someone to party with in valheim?

[slim sluice]

you guessed it, sir, but I would like to talk to someone who understands Russian, because it is very difficult for me to communicate in a language that is not my native language.

[agile star]

What about in Greek language? Your name is in Greek letters

[slim sluice]

I was just trying to find a company that wasn't on the official server, but I couldn't find it(

[slim sluice]

These are jokes for

[agile star]

Ok then

[dreamy quest]

yeah she was pretty easy, but harder than the other bosses

[agile star]

The valheim bosses do get progressively harder. For me because I got 1200 hours in this game I find the only hard bosses to be the last 3. The others ones are a walk in the park for me

But still I do not die against them

[dreamy quest]

yeah thsy are pretty easy, bu it might be because i have the game on easy

i only have like 100 hours on my game and have like one proper playthrough

[agile star]

Oh I was talking about normal difficulty. Funny enough I never played on easy so idk how easy they are

[agile star]

Cool! So 1st playthrough and you just killed Moder?

[dreamy quest]

yeah

[agile star]

Nice, I hope I did not spoil much

[dreamy quest]

i have watched alot of valheim toytube videos

[agile star]

Oh so you know everything then

[dreamy quest]

i dont really know about mistlands, but the rest i know pretty well

[agile star]

I see, if you need any help you can dm me. Just let me know in your dm that I told you to dm me because my memory is non existent 😂

[fickle bramble]

queen and fader are hard, all the other bosses are easy tbh imo

[proper karma]

Whew. Imagine getting this game to play with your kids, then finding yourself hooked after a few hours and realizing the world is massive and the hours you spent building a horrible little shanty to survive were just the beginning...

[merry pebble]

Welcome to the world of Valheim

[fickle bramble]

well you can always build bigger and better if you want a house, maybe search up a design or experiment

[proper karma]

Oh for sure. That's what brought me here. Just had my mind blown looking at some screenshots and then I realized how pathetic my little camp was 🤣

[proper karma]

Cheers

[undone garnet]

Hi, do you know how to scroll through stats after clicking ''stats'' in console command? I finally got fuling berserker trophy after SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many kills and i want to check how many times i killed this big boi

[chrome badge]

There's no stats for specific enemies, only a counter for all enemies iirc

[undone garnet]

Oh ok, got it. Thank you

[merry pebble]

As Omni said i think, but if you want to scroll then use PageUp and PageDown keys 🙂

[formal dove]

if anyone wats to join my server and play together or start fresh lmk in dm

[gray sand]

@left lagoon trees are my number 1 cause of death.

[thorny quiver]

Fall dammage on my end for sure, i build a lot

[gray sand]

Ya'll need OSHA or something, lol. I think in all the years I've only fallen off a build twice.

[thorny quiver]

Where problem occured most was me forgetting i took off feather cape and casualy jumping off my walls or cliffside my base is facing, usualy with cape it drops me to my pains farm, but without, only to my death

[gray sand]

Ah, you got too used to the crutch. 😉

As a no cape person, I never feel inclined to just jump off.

[thorny quiver]

So, you never yeeted yourself from of a catapult?

[gray sand]

Why would I?

[thorny quiver]

Its fun

[gray sand]

Fun is subjecthive.

[thorny quiver]

I mean, its better than cave diving

[fluid plank]

no its in fact fun

[gray sand]

Confirmation bias does not make things fact.

[fluid plank]

its not bias, its a fact

[shy marlin]

Feather cape catapult is fun

[thorny quiver]

I agree with Jensmo

[gray sand]

You don't understand how words work, it's ok.

[fluid plank]

and you're no fun

[gray sand]

Again, fun is subjecthive.

[thorny quiver]

You never tryed it yourself

[rugged bridge]

Catapult makes it too easy these days

Back in the day you had to work for the set up to launch your friend with the harpoon, good times

[thorny quiver]

I think i know what you talking about

[shy marlin]

😭 building a giant runway with a 26 degree roof

[rugged bridge]

Indeed, the caveman version of the catapult

[thorny quiver]

Good times

[obtuse edge]

When is the deep north update?

[merry pebble]

We dont know 🙂 but almost certainly not this year

[obtuse edge]

are you a robot?

[merry pebble]

No? Why?

[lunar sapphire]

typical robot response

smh

[obtuse edge]

you have replied the same way each time I asked 😭

[tiny mortar]

when its ready

[merry pebble]

Understood- Will refresh respose quotes next cycle- 🤖

[lunar sapphire]

Don't keep asking then? 😄

[merry pebble]

Same question, same answer 🙂

[obtuse edge]

Same question, same answer, different time 🙂

[merry pebble]

Indeed, but since we got no new info the answer is still the same 😄

[shy marlin]

🤞 dev blog this month

[merry pebble]

Only few days left

-# To see if there will be one i mean

[gray sand]

Big news BALANCE UPDATE
Oh wait...

[shy marlin]

😔

[tacit crystal]

On Instagram they said it's coming. 👀

[merry pebble]

-# can't find it xD

Wait, i just did 😂

[tacit crystal]

Yeah in comments in latest post.

[tough zinc]

so bear can defeat abom

[merry pebble]

Indeed it can 😄

[tough zinc]

just made them fight. it was close one but bear won.. 😄

in survival

[rotund atlas]

whens deep north

[merry pebble]

We dont know 🙂 But almost certainly not this year

[rotund atlas]

great can we mod it in for now

[neon steppe]

everytime someone asks when deep north is coming it'll get delayed one day

[tacit crystal]

Folks in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 may have you covered.

[merry pebble]

You can mod anything anytime, but world where you explored the DN will then not generate properly

[fluid cove]

Shallow South when

[neon steppe]

dirty south

[neon steppe]

i had such a nice idea in my head for my base but it doesn't work in valheim like i wanted 😭 been stuck on designing floorplan for hour now

[wicked quarry]

I was living out of the meadows for the majority of my recent run through, up until I got to Ashlands. I love taking over a fort and converting it to a base.

[copper bramble]

my main base is in the mountains

great view

was talking with a friend who's more of a builder than me, and he said to ask him for tips when i start building a ship dock and i said "yeah i will definitely need one for my mountain base"

[wintry valve]

its hard to build a dock in the mountains, yes

[stark lion]

i love yall

[gray sand]

Mountain bases my beloved.

[tacit sequoia]

Anyone know If the new Update will come out this yr or next yr

[uncut bough]

yoo i got a quality 5 pufferfish

it was giant and it drains like 70-80 stamina per 1m but i got the line 2m aawy from boat so i can just stand up and pick it up. Still almost lost that catch

[copper bramble]

the only fish i bother to go get are trollfish because i need them endourance pots

[queen harness]

plains have to be the worst biome to ever exist in this game

[copper bramble]

hard disagree. i hate mistlands but love plains

[queen harness]

i havent been to mistlands but holy shit plains are just annoying right now
nonstop lox and deathsquitos spawns, fulling villages have an insane amount of fullings that you cant kill since they just group at you and beat you up

[copper bramble]

pick off shamans first, kite the horde around and use ooze bombs

for deathsquitos use your ears

the most dangerous fulings are the guys with spears. prioratize them

if deathsquitos are the biggest issue, catch the plains fish and make the anti sting mead. it nullifies deathsquitos entirely

[prisma ocean]

The most dangerous fulings are the shamans. Then the berserkers, then the guys with flaming torches if you are wearing the root harnesk.

[copper bramble]

shamans yes, kill them first with a bow

i'd still kill spear guys next, torch guys i avoid easily and berserkers are slow and stupid

[uncut bough]

wait what pot?

[copper bramble]

berserker attacks are so easy to dodge and parry

[copper bramble]

i think it's called the anti sting concoction

[uncut bough]

also coral cod gives onion seed? that is crazy i just got onion seed from coral cod, i can plant onion without even setting foot on mountains

[queen harness]

deathsquitos are annoying because as soon as i go for my items they literally spawn in front of me

[uncut bough]

ah i see. I got root armor so they are just nuisance

[queen harness]

rolling kinda helps but theres loxes and fullings

thanks for the tips though

[copper bramble]

fuling hordes die easy to ooze bombs

kite them around and keep them running through the stank cloud

over time they all die

also the poison destroys the shaman shield bubbles really fast for some reason

[uncut bough]

yea cuz the shield only block 1 instance of dmg, so poison dmg shatters it

DoT dmg like fire or poison is real good against them shield

[copper bramble]

yeah

if there's a tar pit close to a village, kite them together and they will fight eachother

just don't get hit by the growth. the tar slowdown hurts a lot

[uncut bough]

yea, but it is better to assist the fulings by fighting the tar when the fight is almost over in favor of Tar. Otherwise you have some huge cleaning up to do and you might get tarred and potentially just died of 2 tar blob stun you over and over again

[copper bramble]

growths can't be starred can they?

[uncut bough]

idk

[copper bramble]

i've never seen blobs or growths with stars

[uncut bough]

yea they cant star

[copper bramble]

yeah

[uncut bough]

just checeked wiki

bruh these tuna just usain bolt toward my fishing bait when i throw it to catch cod

[copper bramble]

i need to figure out how to spend my seeker meat

i have a full blackmetal chest of seeker meat

[uncut bough]

obliterator will always be helpful

[copper bramble]

no no i'm not gonna convert it into coal

i have tons of lox and wolf meat too

in fact i have a blackmetal chest full of blackmetal ingots

[uncut bough]

are there a hard limit over how many fish i can catch a day? i swear i throw misty bait then cod tried biting it, then i throw heavy bait for cod then puffer fish tried biting it

and now no fish are biting while i can see the pufferfish all around me

[copper bramble]

you need to go to a different area

[uncut bough]

no, i can see the quality 5 cod

i am not going anywhere unless it is dark or i catch it

[tacit crystal]

If you are going to mage around then Seeker aspic is good choice for eitr food. Otherwise cooked seeker for Mistlands feast after defeating the boss.

[jovial sleet]

What is the point of a scythe?

[tacit crystal]

Quick harvesting.

[uncut bough]

so you dont have to spam E while looking at them crop

should i fish at night in the ocean and potentially encounter serpent? yay or nay?

[neon steppe]

i wish i crafted scythe 100 hours earlier than i did

[near furnace]

looks cool

[jovial sleet]

Does a scythe give you more XP when you use it than picking by hand?

[neon steppe]

dont think so but if you hit enemy with scythe it gives you farming XP im pretty sure 😄

[jovial sleet]

You mean if you kill an enemy or just smack it?

[graceful patio]

hi 🙂 very new to the game (installing as we speak)

[heady parcel]

Dangit, I can't decide - Iron Brooch or Nimble Anklet?

[near furnace]

same

[undone remnant]

I was about to say turn around and run while you can, but then I realized I was in the Valheim server and not the OldSchool Runescape server ❤️

Valheim is ❤️

[wintry valve]

Specifically the scythe gives one use worth of exp per swing no matter how many things you harvest. At least according to what I read on the wiki.

Speaking of food. One thing that bothers me a lot is how much of an imbalance there is with the endgame food supply. I use about one flying turkey meat per set of food buffs, but also one flying turkey egg. I get way fewer eggs than meats.

[graceful patio]

lol thank you for that 🤣
Glad to hear it's a good game
I'm very new to pc gaming in general so we'll see where I end up

[undone remnant]

Ive been neglecting the game 😭 Me and my girlfriend even have a dedicated server running but life... :>

[wintry valve]

Valheim is a great game and I love it and it lives rent free in my head. However it has its share of frustrations so be ready for those. Also it took me a long time to see the appeal behind it.

[graceful patio]

frustrations... do share 🙂

[wintry valve]

This game doesnt pull punches, and seems unfair at times. You reach a new area only for some seemingly mundane enemy to instantly explode you in blood because you had the misfortune of meeding a starred version of that monster.

[uncut bough]

dude how do i demolish the feasts on the table?

[wintry valve]

Use the platter

serving tray, sorry

[uncut bough]

i have eaten the feasts totally, but the platter is still stuck on the table

[wintry valve]

use the serving tray

[heady parcel]

Like it was a hammer - deconstruct button.

[wintry valve]

also it can be a grindy game, but its the kind of grind that can be alleviated using proper strategies

[uncut bough]

oh ok thx

yknow seeing the feasts on the table really gives the vibe of "when the fajitas come out sizzling"

[heady parcel]

Also the kind of grind that can be meditative, I don't mind it at all in Valheim, I have something to do all the time I'm doing it.

[uncut bough]

also how do ppl actually fish in the swamp? there are so few fish and mostly it is just leeches coming to bite my bote

[heady parcel]

Pretty certain most ppl just get the fish they need and move on, it's not a place where you fish a lot over time to get fish for food, there are better places for that.

[wintry valve]

sometime its just long tho

I dont think sneaking next to a boar box for hours is a meaningful gaming experience

[heady parcel]

That's not something I have ever done in all my hours of Valheim. Taming can be annoying though, I especially when whatever you're taming gets startled by greylings or whatever. That new potion is a godsend

[wintry valve]

after I read what sneaking does at higher levels, I decided to give it a try

right now my sneak level is about 55, and it took a while to do so

[heady parcel]

To be fair, intentionally grinding something monotonous for hours on end to lvl a certain skill is not on the game.

[wintry valve]

and the tower with a stuck skelett got trolled by a troll so now I lost my sneaking practice spot

[wintry valve]

I feel like theres something wrong with what you just said but I cannot quite explain it

[heady parcel]

I think my sneak skill is somewhere in the 30s, I sneak a lot my first time in Mistlands, less seeker ambushes that way

[coarse gust]

Just use a lox, they have the awareness of a carrot

[wintry valve]

Pretty sure some carrots are wiser

Its just that it takes so much time to level up sneaking while it giving so little in term of return.

[heady parcel]

What I'm trying to say is that for the average player who doesn't read wikis, reddits etc, grinding skills will never be an issue. If you want to raise a skill so much that you grind it on purpose, whatever boredom sets in is mostly on you. That's true in any game where you dedicate to a certain grind, for whatever reason. I did certain dungeons and raids in WoW a stupid amount of times to get certain rare drops. I absolutely HATED a certain boss after that, but I can't blame the game for it...

[wintry valve]

You know why I didnt bother with skills the first time I played? I assumed they did nothing.

[heady parcel]

Now, some skills in Valheim do level up absurdly slowly, it is hopefully something the devs will take a look at when it's time for the Great 1.0 Polish and Balance Event.

[wintry valve]

I sure hope so. I think one dev mentionned that it was something they had in mind.

Maybe im just being schizo and I only think I saw one of them say that.

[cinder sonnet]

What do you guys think about melting stuff? Isnt it pretty stupid to add things one by one into the smelters and them just falling on the ground? I tried automation mod and vanilla valheim might feel unplayable now

[drifting ferry]

Getting to 100 is the completionist achievement, it should never be the "Softcap" goal, once people keep hitting 100 so fast, they'll want to earn 110 or 120. It's just how the game is intended/designed. But I think woodcutting and mining should level up even slower than they do now (IMO)

[merry pebble]

I see no problem with current state of smelting really

[jovial sleet]

So, you're saving time but you're losing a drastic amount of XP

[merry pebble]

Keep in mind taht skills are just a nice "on top" addition 🙂

[heady parcel]

I can agree with that. I think the issue is how each skill gives you xp. Since all skills level up from the same pattern - a certain amount of xp each level, ever growing - some skills simply don't give as much xp from using them like others, especially if the skill is something you perform a lot less when playing the game normally - such as sneaking for example. It is only natural that the skills you use most are the ones that grow faster, but some skills grow much slower even when you use them a lot, which must be down to how they award xp. Cooking is one such skill - this current character I have gone out of my way to cook absurdly much, way way more than I need to - got chests full of food - in order to lvl cooking a bit more. Still not even 30 on day 700...

[cinder sonnet]

I think we should ATLEAST be able to place 20 coal at on click, or maybe a 3-4 second animation, as if pouring materials from something I dont know.

[drifting ferry]

I think you might wanna play Factorio or something for that niche automation feeling

[wintry valve]

some of them are more than just "nice"

[merry pebble]

Some give you more benefits than other, i am not arguing that 😄 but in the end you can play the whole game with all levels on 0 and still be able to play just fine

[cinder sonnet]

nahh, Im not asking for that much...

[wintry valve]

Yeah well I dont think its fun that it takes hours to raise certain skills

[merry pebble]

You can always put suggestions in #suggestions 😄

[wintry valve]

When I noticed at what rate the dodge skill increased, I immediately decided that it basically didnt exist

[drifting ferry]

Holy wow. Day 700! 😮 I do love a grind haha..... but daaaamn. I actually really enjoy sneaking quite often in the game and I can get it to at least 20 within the first few days of the game. Most folks that I see that post stuff don't even touch sneaking, however it's one of my favorite playstyles to be a rogue or a rogue type player

[heady parcel]

When it boils down to it, the skills are a way for the game to let your character get better at what he does a lot, and in that regard they work perfectly fine. Some might need a bit of xp tweaking - imo cooking and sneaking could be two examples - but it is not a major thing.

[uncut bough]

caught me a quality 4 giant herring

imma gonna fish until i get 30 iron ores

guess how many i got and how many bait did it take thus far

[heady parcel]

I hate dying, I mean I really really hate it - so I do my damndest not to die. Fresh into Mistlands now, still very squishy, so I have been sneaking a lot. Don't wanna sound the dinner bell if I don't have to...

Also those pesky hares are easier to shoot if they're not darting around all the time

[drifting ferry]

I've only died on Valheim 3 times accidentally and twice on purpose out of like 800 or so hours lol.... Once from a tree (Classic, memorable, I'll never forget it.), Once to a troll that baited me into another troll. Smoke damage from being afk. The other 2 times, I was spawning things and testing. Now in modded Valheim (I've got like 2-3 deaths, but it's ultra hardcore mode)

[heady parcel]

Haven't been counting deaths, but on this run I haven't died yet, and on my Ashlands world my only deaths so far came from falling off my tower build. Teach me to build skyscrapers before I get the feather cape!

[empty stirrup]

Will we have to start over again when Deep North biome comes out or you're good if you haven't ventured into it yet?

[neon magnet]

Probably good if you don't go there. But who can say for 100% sure - some things may be added at some point that make you want to restart.

[uncut bough]

anyone knoww how to unstuck a longboat beached onto a swamp shallow ground with a lot of iron on it?

asking for myself

[fossil delta]

A hoe.

[uncut bough]

man i really need to get that northern salmon for the fishing hat

like either i get the fish and craft the hat but it permanently generated and not going to be part of new deep north, or i dont

[fossil delta]

Use the hoe from as deep an area as you can. Should make it deep enough for you to move your boat.

[graceful patio]

okay so after 10min of playing I must admit the game could use some basic advice from the start. how to craft stuff, how to make clothes. or is that just me?

[wooden steppe]

i agree it’s a little confusing at first but when you get it down you get it down

[fossil delta]

It gives you recipes as you pick things up or craft other specific things. I do agree it could use some work on getting you started on using the system.

[wooden steppe]

usually what you wanna do is hunt boar and deer first

careful with the boars they hurt early game

[fossil delta]

They do. Especially if you anger 4 at the same time and you are still naked.

[jovial sleet]

If you get bow XP from a landed shot, does wearing bow skill bonus armor make you level the skill up faster, as it lets you have a quicker draw time?

[boreal vale]

Hi everyone!

I’ve been wanting to test out mods on the deck, but have not found a good guide on how to install r2modman correctly onto the deck.

Anyone have any experience with this?

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[boreal vale]

Thank you.

Didn’t see the discussion thread at the very bottom of discord.

[west mica]

Did ghost spawn rates and bear head drop rates get increased on a hotfix?
Had rediculous good luck on this playthrough. Could just be RNG though

I did notice some small update download the other way, which could be anything, but maybe they dont even necessarily give us patch notes just for a small update

[neon steppe]

2 hours of building and it ended up looking so ugly i teared it all down 😭

[neon magnet]

Do you all ever get discouraged, knowing that instance count will eventually catch up to you if you gradually build more and more in an area? Like, even if it doesn't actually get to that point - just knowing that it would if you kept going.

[shy marlin]

yes

feels pretty bad but what can you do

[wintry valve]

whats instance count and what does it do?

[nocturne wolf]

It's the amount of objects currently loaded, it increases a lot as you expand your base and more instances will make the game run slower

[wintry valve]

Oh. I recently got a big cpu so I guess im good on my end.

[fossil delta]

You have to hit about 30,000 instances.

[merry pebble]

Oh you want the power point version of Valheim? 😄

[formal spruce]

Why do I feel like this would be several terabytes if not larger lol

[fossil delta]

One thing I've never been clear on about that. Do the instances have to be in just render range?

[merry pebble]

Eeeeh, not really, its just how many individual things the game has to load at once 😄

[merry pebble]

I do believe they have to be in render range, and you have to be looking in their direction.

[jovial sleet]

If you get bow XP from a landed shot, does wearing bow skill bonus armor make you level the skill up faster, as it lets you have a quicker draw time?

[gray sand]

Technically yes.

[fossil delta]

So spreading out my base structures does help.

Only about 2/3 of it renders.

[merry pebble]

It should help, yeah 😄

[uncut bough]

swear to god idk what specific conditions do i need to fish giant herring but the hook rate is abysmally low

i can hook 10-20 groupers easily but it is a blessing to even hook 10 giant herring. And i dont even want to fish for it i just want the iron ores

[shy marlin]

what do giant herring give?

[uncut bough]

iron ore 16.66% of the time, quantity 1 or 2

and chains, 3.33% of the time

[shy marlin]

oh so are you just collecting ore?

[uncut bough]

yea, partially

other reasons is i crafted too many sticky baits and i gotta spend em all

besides them fish gives out decent amount of fish part

[gray sand]

More than red herrings do 😏

[uncut bough]

can i ping smiffe and politely ask him to buff the hook rate for giant herring cuz i am getting bored at this point

i fished for 5 days straight and only burned through 25 bait

[fossil delta]

Sounds like you need to find larger schools of them. For some reason the Trolls fish have the most numerous large schools, with puffer being close.

[uncut bough]

oh yea trollfish tends to be like that. But there are just not that many big clump of giant herring

and they aren't interested in biting unless i keep the boat moving which risks beaching it on the swamp

them leeches keep circling my boat

[fossil delta]

Best place I ever caught them was from a Leviathon that spawned close enough to swamp I swam to it. Caught a wide variety of fish from it. Often without a pole thanks to storms washing them up on the lev.

[uncut bough]

i only need 4 more iron ore

[wintry valve]

im going to log in your world and steal all the iron

[uncut bough]

i would break all foundation of your house but one so you can watch it slowly dismantle itself

[wintry valve]

its resting on the floor and if you dig deeper you'll melt

[uncut bough]

nothing i cant dig

[wintry valve]

I mean literally, its a mechanic where I built the house

[uncut bough]

i saw a serpent in ocean while it is not raining and it was daytime

idk why it still spawn

[merry pebble]

The storm spawned serpents dont despawn, so you might have sailed around there during rain and it just stayed there 🙂

[uncut bough]

huh

[wintry valve]

eat the serpent

[shy marlin]

vile trophy is a pain in the ass man

[silent tide]

Quick question, will I need to start a world when The Deep North comes out?

[shy marlin]

More than likely not

Just don't get close to the deep north and you should be fine

[silent tide]

Is it on current maps already?

[shy marlin]

An unfinished version yea, it lies in the very very north of the map

[silent tide]

i see, thanks

[shy marlin]

Also another note, I think it's unclear whether or not achievements (that will be released in 1.0/deep north update) will be retroactive or not

So if you care about achievements and going through a playthrough and not being rewarded with them

[fossil delta]

I will be shocked if they can do them retroactively.

[neon steppe]

i dont know any games that have done them retroactively

[mint yoke]

Hey new here I didn't see any rules about not asking for someone to play with. If im in the wrong spot let me know. I've never gotten through the planes. Would really like someone to do a from start to finish world with me. Im on xbox

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[shy marlin]

yea same, just mentioned cause I saw smiffe talking about achievements being retroactive vs not a few months ago I think

I personally hope they won't be

[slate grove]

I don’t suppose there is a vigvisir type device for locating merchants?

[shy marlin]

nah not atm

[slate grove]

Do they have reliable spawning rules other than what biome?

For instance can I find the bog witch closer to the center of of the map or farther?

[mint yoke]

Bog which usually spawns about the half way point for me I've found her frequently just a little further out than where hildir spawns for me

[orchid locust]

each trader has several (I believe, ten?) possible locations where they can spawn, and once you find their first spawn location they settle for good and all the other locations are thrown away. Since they all have specific areas in which they can spawn, the "closer to center" is generally relative, since they'll always be a minimum distance away from the center.
If you check any seed on the Valheim world generator site you can see how each trader can potentially spawn very far away from the center, but that's very unlikely, since you're almost certain to find one of the other, closer locations before reaching the farthest one.

If you check the wiki you'll see Haldor won't spawn closer than 1500 meters from the center, and the Bog Witch and Hildir won't spawn closer than 3000 meters from center.

[wintry valve]

Valheim the movie when?

[solid horizon]

why cant i build wood walls or floors, theyre just not in my build menu

[untold sinew]

Me and my friend just finished killing Moder and celebrating the SECOND we arrive at our house thru the portal "the horde is attacking" i (being the server owner) put myself in debug mode and spammed K because we really weren't ready for tons and tons of Fulings

[untold sinew]

Did you get the ingredients for it?

[shy marlin]

the horde is attacking is an insane raid

[frail vortex]

Hey does anyone with the board game know where the dice Tower base connects to? Thank you

[tepid prawn]

what about the bros haha even worse

[shy marlin]

ye bros is prolly the hardest raid

[uncut bough]

does serpent trophy sinks with the scale?

[light moat]

Yep

[uncut bough]

darn

how do i even get the trophy easily to craft some heavy bait

[light moat]

I typically just lure the serpents to a beach. If I’m feeling froggy, I’ll try and time a kill as I’m falling onto the serpent to nab the trophy before it sinks.

[night silo]

I got a question can xbox players join the servers? And can they join the modded ones or no ?

Im new so idk much

[uncut bough]

i got 30 iron ores from fishing

i am finally free

[shy marlin]

i think there's like bronze scraps or ore from the ashlands fortresses 👀

[uncut bough]

i just got 1 more iron ore from the last fishing bait. My OCD wont let me end with just 1 single iron ore

guess how many giant herring i fished to get 31 iron ores?

[shy marlin]

67

[uncut bough]

85

an eye watering amount, i knoww

[gray sand]

85? Almost as high as my swim skill 😁

[uncut bough]

and with how annoying it is to fish there with all the leeches biting the boat, blob that jumps into my boat ( yes that happened), draugr casually forgetting they cant swim and they just run deep underwater and shoot my boat with the bow

so yea not the most comfortable fishing experience in the swamp

but gotta get em iron ores

honestly the feasts are the bomb, i should have made them long ago

[neon steppe]

i need to try feasts this save

[uncut bough]

You should

Actually maybe shouldnt unless you are willing to take the game slow, and i mean real slow

The resource gathering process for the first few feasts requires a lot of thristle

And i mean a lot of thristle, it is almost worth its weight in gold already

[heady parcel]

Feasts are awesome, once you get to the higher tier ones you barely need anything else except if you're going on really long journeys and have no portals. The combo of a high stats total and double duration is pretty neat.

[gray sand]

The have lower stats in trade for the longer duration.

[barren whale]

🤔 maybe for one specific stat but as all-rounders the mist and ash feasts are insane

[gray sand]

When you first get them in the Swamp, FFF is better, yes.
Mountain is when it begins falling behind.
Plains increases the gap.
Mistlands/Ashlands the feast is "great" only if you're a mage. Otherwise it is "decent, but not better."

[tacit crystal]

I like HFS nowadays in Mistlands/Ashlands.

[copper bramble]

how effective are bile bombs in ashlands? i figure that fire won't do much and many of the enemies are poison immune

[gray sand]

Less effective than you might want them to be.
Staff of fireball or Demolisher are you better AoE options.

[copper bramble]

demolisher it is bc i'm not gonna be running magic

[gray sand]

Demo creates space really well.
AoE damage is probably best with the new battleaxe.

[copper bramble]

btw does the primal weapons' immobilization work on bosses?

[gray sand]

Bizarrely... yes.

[copper bramble]

i would be mad if it didn't

does the immobilization only prevent them moving or is it like a full paralysis where they can't do anything

'cause if they can't attack after being immobalized then the primal berserk axes would be a nearly constant stunlock

[gray sand]

I am mad that is does.

Bosses are bosses. By their nature they should be immune to CC.
-# Like how they are immune to stagger...

[copper bramble]

maybe it will get changed but for the moment they can be stunlocked by primal weapons

[gray sand]

They can't turn. So any attack that needs them to face you is disabled by you just moving to the side.

[lavish bloom]

How do i equip a tag

[gray sand]

It will not get changed, lol.

[copper bramble]

well i think that sells me on killing fader with primal berserkers

[gray sand]

Unless they have secretly been planning a massive overhaul for 1.0, "balance" is not on the dev's list of things to care about.

[copper bramble]

i think i have to transition away from polearms then

[barren whale]

the ashlands boss will happily fuck you up while "immobilized" but is an exception

[tribal trench]

Hildir's Brass Chest is a displayable item ha!!! Cooooool Good thing I never turned mine in hehe

thats soooo cool looking next to a good old pile of gold

[tepid bluff]

hello anybody wanna play? i just bought the game and need a helpfull companion

[tacit crystal]

You might want to check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍

[copper bramble]

last session mined all the ancient armor and swords from the southern half of my mistlands area

• got 2 skulls

box full of copper and iron

[tepid bluff]

thanks

[copper bramble]

will the deep north have shorter days or no sunlight at all? i live north of the arctic circle irl and our day length is rapidly decreasing until we get no sun in winter

[coarse gust]

idk if they will be shorter, but the sun barely rises over the horizon in the far north of the map.
that is actually already in the game.

[copper bramble]

yeah ik that bit, but they may change it in 1.0

[rugged urchin]

Question regarding forcedelete.

it does delete for example, boars. but does it reset after opening the server again?

[near furnace]

no

it removes something forever

[vernal eagle]

Nope they don't. Just like the branches and mushrooms in my base don't come back!

[rugged urchin]

Damn. Those necks and boars keeps spawning even after force deleting

[pliant hatch]

You will have to remove the spawnpoints of those creatures to be certain they won't reappear.

However I don't know if it's possible with the force-delete command and I don't know what the internal ID of those spawn points are if it's possible to force-delete them.

[coarse gust]

The easiest way out is to hide a campfire somewhere in the area

Doesnt delete the spawn, but prevents it

[rugged urchin]

does it need to be lit?

[pliant hatch]

Nope.

You can also use the "torch in a pole" trick to get the same effect.

[coarse gust]

yup
i prefer unlit campfires because they are fairly flush with the ground and disappear in my maxed out grass settings.
however torch in a pole can work really well in a forest.

[tacit crystal]

Campfire is also not primary target by enemy mobs, like workbenches.

[tulip patrol]

Fine ill start a new run to prep for the North. I always do for new updates

[rain steeple]

Is music from this months episode new ?

[tacit crystal]

It's swamp theme.

[rugged bridge]

Basically nothing from this month's episode is new

[rain steeple]

after she speaks i remembered the theme but start of it probably never heard of it.

[grave gate]

That upper roof looks pretty steep, new build pieces?

[chrome badge]

Yeah it appears that way 🤘

[uncut bough]

does raining counts as dark ? I am in the ocean and it is raining but not storming. Will i see serpent?

oh yea i found serpent alright

[silk dome]

what does left system

mean

[sonic oyster]

Is there anyone who would want to play valheim with me? Im 15 from Finland and I have completed the game once. Im hoping to find somone that has played this game before or maybe completed it also.

[silk dome]

I can sure

[sonic oyster]

Have u played valheim how much

[silk dome]

1 hour and 10 minutes

Total

[sonic oyster]

Sorry but im trying to find someone with a bit more experience

[orchid locust]

just to add to your knowledge: serpents spawning during storms and serpents spawning during the night are treated as different mobs to a certain extent, which in turn means that going out during a stormy night gives you way more chances to encounter a serpent, if you're really looking for one (though night serpents despawn at dawn, so be careful)

[uncut bough]

just storm? like raining doesn't cut it?

i killed 2 serpent in just a rainy weather, the waves were calm

[tacit crystal]

Iirc rain should do it too, not just storm.

[orchid locust]

uh, I meant any kind of rain

"storm" was more of a broad term to indicate rain, but I understand why it might have made it confusing

[uncut bough]

aight

[smoky quarry]

calm rainy seas are best for fishy snake hunting

[uncut bough]

true

i hunt serpent for sport

[smoky quarry]

we need 2* serps that spit fireballs

[wintry valve]

no we dont

[gray sand]

Bonemaws spit fireballs.

[orchid locust]

the serpents' appearance makes me think they have some kind of electric power instead, since they have those neon-blue lights on them

and electricity out in the sea is far more dangerous than fireballs, which would justify the terror they spread among all wildlife in the open sea

[smoky quarry]

hmm. point. Call down lightning on the boat

[pallid linden]

im so glad i could finally afford this game!

[tiny tiger]

I got the deep sea angler fish with the light things on them vibe from that

They only surface when it’s dark and/or stormy so I imagine they usually spend their time in the depths of the ocean

[wintry valve]

I think lots of people asked that before, but im gonna ask still.
What causes sounds to become garbled in the ashlands?

[heady parcel]

I would assume too many sound sources at once, happens in many games. Unity limitation maybe? Then there's the slight distortion of sounds in the Mistlands mists, that one is entirely intentional and has scared me witless more than once. <Hears a guttural roar> HOLY FECK WTF IS THAT? <out of the mist comes a greydwarf shaman>

[warm latch]

phew! almost picked the I am a bot role while joining

[wintry valve]

is it because you are a bot trying to pass for a people?

[dark coyote]

"Hello, fellow humans!"

[wintry valve]

Oh yeah, the mistland sound effects are fun

[warm latch]

That's a great question! [discord username here]. No I am a real person

is what I would say if I was an LLM

[wintry valve]

fulings goes from "kekeke" to "HEURG HEURG HEURG"

[buoyant panther]

Here is an update from a tester: #steam-bugs-discussion message
I haven't seen anyone link the upstream issue on Unity's tracker yet, so I don't know which Unity versions this fix lands in

[wintry valve]

alright, figured it was something like that

I suppose it will be fixed eventually

Im glad its nothing serious. For a moment I thought my game files were getting corrupted

[silk dome]

How do I get leather

[gray sand]

Leather Scraps is from Boar.

[rapid lance]

Thank you so much devs for not abandoning this game like 90% of the other early access projects
You did not "run with the money", you stayed and you are giving us a complete and beautiful experience, thank you so much

Building a fortress in the mountain in under twenty minutes, coordinating with my five best friends, was one of the best gaming moments of my WHOLE LIFE, and I say this with all sincerity, even as a 27 year old guy that plays basically anything, even as a former starcraft 2 grandmaster

[distant girder]

awwwwww wholesome! 💜

[gray sand]

Wholesomeness? In Discord? BAN HIM.

[rapid lance]

Man sometimes I'm like "this thing helped me through hard times" and some mods are like "HARD TIMES??? TRAUMA DUMP IN GENERAL??? BAN"

[gray sand]

As a person who moderates other servers, I would say it depends on how detailed you get? 🤔
Like just saying "hey this helped" = good, fine, welcome comment.
Going into specifics about your situation can be an overshare and cause for comment deletion though. 😬

[plush umbra]

Sup heathens

[untold sinew]

Whait a minute

[orchid locust]

I generally let those comments be, as long as it doesn't look like anyone's bothered by it

[untold sinew]

Why do deer trophies have antlers?

[distant girder]

er
trauma dumping is not good to do in general channels or server chats or whatever lol
idk how that came up but yeah

[untold sinew]

Deer dont have antlers

[distant girder]

some of them do

[gray sand]

Starred ones do.

[untold sinew]

And trophies arent starred

[plush umbra]

Cuz 2 * deer are usually bucks and they auto drop trophies (dont quote me this is just what I think)

[nocturne wolf]

The devs probably thought it looks nicer for the trophy

[gray sand]

Even 1* have antlers

[untold sinew]

But

[plush umbra]

I agree #valheim-help

[distant girder]

regular deer don't have antlers but they drop trophies sometimes that do have antlers

[untold sinew]

0 star deer dont have antlers

[distant girder]

I never thought about that lmao

[plush umbra]

They didnt wanna make 2 trophies for bucks and doe

[gray sand]

Dude you stagger people by blocking RANGED ATTACKS. Don't ask for logic. 😂

[plush umbra]

They just made 1 trophy for both and liked the way antlers looked

[distant girder]

isn't valheim in an afterlife world?

[plush umbra]

Yes and no

[gray sand]

Norse purgatory is the easiest descriptor.

[rapid lance]

I thought it was like a purgatory where you get tested before officially going into valhalla

[distant girder]

that was the word I was looking for

[rapid lance]

And if you lose your mind or motivation you become a draugr

[distant girder]

oooo

[gray sand]

Not so much "everyone goes here to get tested."
Moreso a forgotten semi-prison realm that you're here specifically because the gang leaders are breaking the world tree and messing with the other realms.

[distant girder]

gang le-- wait what?

[rapid lance]

I'm stupid and despite loving implicit lore I never stopped to read all the stone tablets XD
I know people are speculating that the last boss will be a form of Loki

[gray sand]

Forsaken.

[distant girder]

I haven't played beyond beginner mistland yet

[gray sand]

Read the opening scrawl when you start the game?

[wintry valve]

wait... I dont think Loki was an antagonist in norse lore

He was a trickster, and probably annoying, but not an outright villain

[rapid lance]

To mortals, yes
To other gods, just edgy

[distant girder]

I forget a ton of stuff, need to read it again

[rapid lance]

But in-game you have dreams of seeing a child, and the bosses have the same dream, Fader says he got scared when seeing them because they knew their true nature

I don't remember the whole reddit post letter by letter but my theory is we will see a child which will then turn into Loki who will be at least a two-phase boss

[distant girder]

children in video games scare me

[rapid lance]

children~~ in video games~~ scare me

[distant girder]

and irl but moreso in games and movies

yeah that lol

[rapid lance]

Nah I love kids when they're not outright malicious

But in media they're usually monsters in disguise or something XD

[distant girder]

I'm ok with them if they're quiet and not staring at me

[rapid lance]

Or sacrificed for shock factor

[distant girder]

....jesus

[rapid lance]

Yeah I can't stand that, it's so cheap
That's why I never watched Game of Thrones

The whole premise of the show is a violent fantasy telenovela

[silk dome]

I’m addicted

[distant girder]

how concerningly vague

[rapid lance]

I forgot this isn't the general channel, sorry XD
Going back to Valheim, what are your favorite moments? I love to hear stories

[silk dome]

Me dying to 4 boars attacking me at once and returning to masacre them and all the onlookers

How to make a fishing pole

[untold sinew]

First death is to a tree

[gray sand]

The cannot be made.

[untold sinew]

Bye it at haldor

[distant girder]

my home internet was out for 9 days and just before that I had been trying to give him a fish that he hadn't picked up before
he wouldn't pick it up so I gave up and placed it on his bed
and then internet went out
...
finally got internet back yesterday, had a full bed of fish waiting for him ...
he still refused to take them, said "I am choosing to interpret this as a fish printed blanket" and found the one pixel to still sleep in his bed along with the pile of fish. despite it making him vibrate

[rapid lance]

I've been playing for four years and that still happens

[untold sinew]

That's very funny

[copper bramble]

why didn't anyone tell me that krom + demolisher heavy loadout is a banger

[distant girder]

it's a rite of passage, dying to a tree

mostly cuz I've never heard of it

[untold sinew]

Yes it is

[copper bramble]

i've never died to a tree

actually never

[distant girder]

squints

[tacit crystal]

Krom.

[gray sand]

I am convinced Krom is the norse equivalent of Chad.

[copper bramble]

epic embed fail

[distant girder]

we don't have embed permissions

[copper bramble]

the channel where we do have perms have like a 1 hour cooldown

[untold sinew]

What's embed

[copper bramble]

embed dees nuts

[distant girder]

when you send a link and a picture shows up

or preview things

[untold sinew]

Ah

[copper bramble]

i have too much blackmetal

what should i do with it

[foggy glacier]

You got eitr yet?

[neon steppe]

black metal chests

[copper bramble]

already using them

[copper bramble]

yes

[foggy glacier]

Springs and bolts.

I just keep ballistae loaded all around my base.

[copper bramble]

oh right blackmetal missiles

yeah good use. for bolts i use carapace for the material

[copper bramble]

i have a blackmetal chest full of blackmetal and extra that don't fit

[distant girder]

showoff :woah:

[copper bramble]

half a box of iron + row of unsmelted iron and row of refined eitr

[tacit crystal]

If you're in Mistlands and like to use crossbow, you can craft lots of blackmetal bolts.

[copper bramble]

already using carapace bolts

[lavish bloom]

why are swamps so hard 😭

[tacit crystal]

Or even blackmetal missiles for the ballista.

[foggy glacier]

it'll keep happening, just keep the missles going.

[copper bramble]

i will use BM for missiles tho

[lavish bloom]

i hate traversing in swamps cuz when its night youre just dead

[copper bramble]

honestly swamps in my current run never really gave me trouble

[tacit crystal]

Going during night time is usually not the best idea.

[copper bramble]

mountains at night are way worse than swamp at night

[lavish bloom]

i know and thats why its bad, you only get like 10 minutes before it turns dark

and i cant find a damn crypt

[tacit crystal]

There is 21 minutes day and 9 minutes night cycle.

[lavish bloom]

oh well same thing

[tacit crystal]

You might want to find other swamp if you are not finding crypts in the current one.

Purely rng where the seed decide their locations on map.

[lavish bloom]

but i have a MASSIVE swamp close to my current base but i cant explore it further since there is a plains blocking the other part

and when me and my friend tried traversing the plains, lets just say that wasnt a great idea

[tacit crystal]

Hmm yeah they can have some plains nearby, as those both biomes start appearing in about same distance from the center.

[lavish bloom]

do i look up the seeds for my world or go on another 2 hour boat trip to find another swamp?

[tacit crystal]

If you want to look up a bit of your current world you can copy paste the seed in the world generator website and filter it showing only the swamp crypts.

[lavish bloom]

how do i only view one thing?

[tacit crystal]

You can show the map with the fog of war on and only look up the crypts if you don't want to spoil too much.

[tacit crystal]

Put filters before you press it to generate the seed.

[lavish bloom]

the crypts doesnt show, there is only a big fog

[lavish bloom]

wait it works now, but how can i check coordinates in my valheim world?

[tacit crystal]

You cannot without console commands.

[lavish bloom]

oh alright, well thanks for the help man

[lavish bloom]

the glowy mushrooms are the most underrated food

[midnight stratus]

fr

[heady parcel]

Woooh cooking just dinged 30

Milestone!

I must say that log-roof in the featured build was awesome btw

[tired path]

Swamp is where the game gets real

[lavish bloom]

the balckforest to swamp transition is hell

[dry dome]

is iron bow the best bow u can get by the swamp area?

[tired path]

The iron bow is called a Huntsman Bow and it's the Swamp-Tier bow, yes

[dry dome]

i want that one bow u get with silver can't wait

[tired path]

I usually skip it, personally, although I heard it's extremely powerful due to it not alerting multiple enemies when hitting targets

[tired path]

I found Black Forest -> Swamp to be the second hardest transition after Mistlands -> Ashlands

[lavish bloom]

personally never made it to that stage but if its any harder than black forest -> swamp, im imagining it to be pretty hard

[dry dome]

so happy i got the extra 150 weight belt early on at beginning of swamp

[tired path]

Don't worry, everything after Black Forest -> Swamp is pretty chill

[lavish bloom]

ive never found a trader

[tired path]

Iron gear is really powerful and the following biomes aren't as oppressive as the Swamp

[lavish bloom]

idk if my luck is bad or if im doing something wrong

[tired path]

...Ashlands though

I don't want to spoil you anything, you'll get there eventually

[lavish bloom]

isnt ashlands like the last stage

[tired path]

As of now, yes

[dry dome]

how many traders are on world map for than 1 right?

[nocturne wolf]

There are 3 traders, each with 10 spawn points. The first spawn point loaded is where the trader will stay permanently.

[lavish bloom]

how close do youi have to be for it to load?

[kind hearth]

are the roadmaps legit?

[nocturne wolf]

I don't know it's further than the map discovery range

[dark flare]

After enough time has passed.
One starts to enjoy the ambience of The Swamp.

[lavish bloom]

swamp is living hell

[dark flare]

Clear out the spawn nodes. Skeletons. Draugers.
It gets quite enjoyable for a few in day games.

Level the ground as you progress so there are no more suprises.
I like it.

[maiden birch]

Hi guys
I bought the game and have only 2 hours
I could give it back an get my money, but is it too early or what should i do

[gray sand]

All matters of "should" are your personal choice and there is no wrong answer.

[lavish bloom]

i think the reason i hate swamps is beacause of the horrid swamp seed i got nerfed with 💔

[orchid locust]

I'd feel bad for you for missing out on a great time, but if you didn't like it I don't see why you should keep it. I'll just say this, though: 2 hours is far too little to appreciate the game

[fossil delta]

Valheim isn't for everyone. I'd love it if just one more of my friends or family loved it nearly as much as I do, but nope. Totally lucked out on the ones I do have being my wife.

[lavish bloom]

most of my friends enjoy it. but you can tell everybody loves it in different ways

the only way to hate valheim is to never have played it

[strange plume]

for me it wouldve been if i didnt have anyone to play it with aswell, multiplayer valheim is so good

[fossil delta]

I do have friends who like it. A lot. I'm just a bit obsessive about it.

[lavish bloom]

oh yes thats true i couldnt imagine playing solo valheim

[fossil delta]

Solo does appear to take a certain kind of mind set to enjoy it. Which I get, I do prefer playing with my wife and/or friends, but I easily have over 1,000 hours solo as well.

[lavish bloom]

the reason i dont think i whould enjoy solo is beacause i whouldnt get to share my accomplishments with anyone, therefore they feel useless

[strange plume]

yeah, ive not been able to really enjoy many solo games, theyre just not that fun to me

[strange plume]

yeah exactly this

[fossil delta]

I don't care about that. I do it for me. Even then, I do get to share whatever interesting thing that happened or I discovered with my wife. So I do get to do what little of it I want to.

[lavish bloom]

thats a mindset i whould love to have

[surreal salmon]

Hello

[fossil delta]

Yeah, by now I have likely defeated Bonemass a couple of hundred times. How many times is that an "accomplishment"? Whether I do it solo or with my wife, or a friend group? Its easy for me, now.

[surreal salmon]

I’ve just started myself and I’m very lost haha

Got myself a bench and a fire and the rags on my back

[fossil delta]

You have come to a great place for guidance. You care about spoilers?

[surreal salmon]

Idm really

Most spoilers are out of context when you haven’t got a clue anyways

[strange plume]

did you beat the first boss?

[surreal salmon]

No not yet

[fossil delta]

OK, well, as you have seen you get new recipes for stuff primarily by picking up things,

In some instances, you need to craft things to get more recipes.

So primarily you need to explore to discover new things to make and eat.

[strange plume]

well you get the location at your spawn, not sure if u clicked that but its something the game gives you right away

[surreal salmon]

Yes I’ve seen the icon but thought I’d die if I got too close

[fossil delta]

No, you summon the boss.

So you can check it out to your hearts content.

So another thing to be sure of is all the tabs you have on your hammer menu, and craft tables,

[dry dome]

takes so long to smelt bars solo lol

[lavish bloom]

Fr

[strange plume]

this is why sleeping is the best thing in the game

[surreal salmon]

I can’t sleep rn as I’ve only got space under the little roof I made for my bench

[fossil delta]

Even in group I often smelt by myself. We don't always play only at the same time.

[surreal salmon]

None of my friends have it so I thought I’d try my hand solo

[strange plume]

id setup a little house somewhere, its always nice to have

[lavish bloom]

I have the problem where my Friends are busy killing eachother while im stuck doing that

[fossil delta]

You can join groups via #1024264966712340510

[rugged bridge]

Unless you're not solo

Then you have to wait until that one friend finishes chasing the elusive greyling attacking one of your walls in order to sleep

[lavish bloom]

Real shit

[dry dome]

im loving that queens jam and jerky

[fossil delta]

Thats why you make your base big enough your bed isn't close to outer walls. Sleep whenever your ready to.

[strange plume]

my friend is usually busy throwing trash on the floor of our house while our storage is literally next to him

[rugged bridge]

It doesn't matter

He'll hear something hitting the wall 50m away and decide to go kill it

[lavish bloom]

Greylings will always find a way

[fossil delta]

Oh, so he is the problem. 😄

[fossil delta]

I'd be terrified to see his real home. 😄

[rugged bridge]

Yeah it was in one of my previous playthroughs which ended at the mistlands because the entire squad except me just went "Permanent mist with no convenient way to dispel it? Nope, cba."

The greylings were better companions

[rugged bridge]

The war of having auto pickup off

[strange plume]

we probably have 3 hoes on the floor around the base 💔

[lavish bloom]

🥀

Valheim is such a frustrating and rewarding game

[fossil delta]

I can agree with that.

Wouldn't be fun if it didn't have challenges to over come.

[strange plume]

just dont die in the mistlands with no extra wisps

[dry dome]

best armnour before iron for def on ranked arrows

[lavish bloom]

Amen to that

[fossil delta]

First thing I do, now, is make 3 of them. I did learn that the hard way. 😄 😄

[rugged bridge]

Why bring extra wisps when I already know my destination and have 200+ stamina?

[strange plume]

yeah. i have extra silver now just incase, but my first time in the mistlands was miserable because of thhis

[rugged bridge]

Pure speed

Running completely naked through the game's current 2nd hardest biome without a care in the world until you reach your gravestone is too badass to pass up

[strange plume]

landed in the long ship, gjall finds us and kills us, then i take the worse ship, same thing, and then the waves sunk my raft

[fossil delta]

So you don't have a portal close to where you landed? IE next island over kind of close?

[strange plume]

nono, we built a portal where we landed, then it found us and broke it

there was no other biome nearby from what i remember, or atleast we didnt find it

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I've had these kind of "landings" happen to me enough times I now make a point of finding a near by "safe biome" island on which to place a portal as a just in case.

[strange plume]

i try to do that as much as possible, but now that im more experienced with the mistlands anyways its not that scary

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but its Valheim. Crap happens.

[strange plume]

under a root or ancient helmet thing works for a portal

[fossil delta]

They do, usually. Almost always.

[wintry valve]

I rediscovered ashland food. Game is suddently easier now.

[strange plume]

by the way, did they fix some of the lag in the ashlands since release?

[fossil delta]

Amazing how those few additional points seem to make so much difference.

[strange plume]

havent been there for a year or so but im about to get there in another world, is it still laggy?

[fossil delta]

Some say yes, some say no. So it slikely going to depend on your system.

Its fine for me.

Mountain snow still gives me more issues.

[strange plume]

well ive upgraded from what i had last year, so i think ill be fine then

[strange plume]

really? ive never had that

[fossil delta]

Yeah, the white out snow storms get laggy. Not as bad as it used to, but still very noticable,

[strange plume]

maybe ill find some optimisation mod if i have to

[fossil delta]

I probably just need to turn down a setting or two while I am in the mountains. I do have a pretty good system.

[tiny tiger]

Yoooo finally steeper roofs are coming

Kinda crazy if they’re only available from start of endgame tho

[fossil delta]

It is a progression based game. Not the first time I have seen progression decisions that I have questioned,

[tiny tiger]

Progression to… steeper roofs? Should 45° be limited to Iron Age ?

[lavish bloom]

I really think it should be easier to get more building things earlirr

[tiny tiger]

Tar is reasonable

[lavish bloom]

I always have to renovate my damn house

[tiny tiger]

And maxed swamp gear you can risk going into plains for tar especially with root armor

[strange plume]

eh, for me the building progression is fine, i just dont like that mountains basically have nothing

[tiny tiger]

Windows which don’t really work too well as windows

[fossil delta]

Like I have said, I have seen progression decisions I have questioned. Many times. Often with building materials and designs.

[strange plume]

and i guess red jute stuff but thats about it

[tiny tiger]

And the dragon bed ig

Braziers

[fossil delta]

I was hoping for marbles then, so I agree.

[tiny tiger]

mountains definitely leans into the weapons and armor side of things more

silver should have a use

🪞

[fossil delta]

Yeah, silver backed mirrors.

[strange plume]

When I do a modded run, the first thing I'm doing is adding more decoration/building stuff

[tiny tiger]

What’s a good one that keeps buildings looking valheimy

[fossil delta]

I am guessing when I finally do mods, I will be using dozens of them.

[strange plume]

I'm not that good st building but I do like valheims building system and trying to get more into it

[tiny tiger]

There’s a good one that allows you to rotate build pieces omnidirectionally

[strange plume]

I have not looked yet, my friend is doing his first run of the game and we're only adding them after

[fossil delta]

Yeh, I am not allowing myself to use mods until after 1.0. I know once I start, I won't stop.

[strange plume]

I don't have the patience for that, but I will be doing the update in vanilla first

Will either just back the world up before modding or start a new world for modded

[fossil delta]

I don't have the discipline to stop, so.... 😄

[strange plume]

Yeah that's fair lmao

[fossil delta]

I fight with myself on just sticking to defaults on new play throughs, instead of changing some of the world modifiers, I'm weak.

[strange plume]

Well to be fair just making yourself wait until 1.0 is pretty disciplined

The world modifiers are vanilla aren't they?

[fossil delta]

Its like tasting somethng really good. If you taste it, its far harder to say no to another bite, than it is to not take a bite at all.

[hearty echo]

D

[blazing cobalt]

I made the mistake of using cheats and commands on my first world. I ruined my progression rate and jumped to the endgame without appreciating the mid game. Needless to say, I stopped playing for a while because it got too boring.

[shut fable]

I wonder if the full release version will give you the option to disable cheats

[strange plume]

Oh yikes, that sucks. I did use them too, but for when I got basically softlocked in mistlands, having not even a raft to get back

[fossil delta]

There will be achievements, so yes.

[strange plume]

Didn't spoil myself thankfully

[blazing cobalt]

I am finally getting back into the game after a few months, with a world that I am setting stricter rules on. (I still use portal all as I don't have the time to boat all of my ores).

[neon magnet]

How much space do you feel is "just right" for a bronze age base? I've had cramped ones and I've had ones so big they felt empty before, curious if someone has some rules of thumb they follow

[fossil delta]

I build my base to hold everything up through Ashlands, so its definitely not small.

[strange plume]

I built a big one and just decorate it overtime, rather that than having 0 space

[lilac wagon]

Anyone know if Comfy Valheim server is still active?

[blazing cobalt]

I build, find a better spot, tear down, build, run out of space, tear down, find another good spot, build...

[strange plume]

I get that feeling, I see so many places I'd want to build, but hauling ores across half the map is not something I'm gonna do

Guess that's where portal all comes in handy, but I'm waiting till I unlock that in ashlands

[neon magnet]

I tend to just move instead of hauling stuff. Get all I want from an area, then just bring the basics to set up crafting stations etc somewhere else (where the next biome is more plentiful) and start building there

[fossil delta]

Yeah, there are a lot of places I'd like to build, which is the benefit of playing solo. I have the time to do so, if I really want to.

[dry dome]

one more trip of bronze should be ready for iron farming

[neon steppe]

really hard to go back to vanilla after modding i would imagine like in other games

i always play every game first playthrought vanilla and then later do modded runs and basically never play vanilla again

[heady parcel]

I feel absolutely no need to mod Valheim, but if and when it gets official mod support (i.e. a Steam Workshop) I'll look into increasing render and object draw distance a bit unless they tweak that in vanilla.

[wicked quarry]

Exactly how I do it too. With Valheim, I did two play throughs vanilla. Since then I prefer to be able to port with metals. Really the only thing I mod but I will on occasion fly to a corpse run if I just don’t have it in me to go retrieve it the traditional way lol

[neon steppe]

i'll definitely get some QoL mods and some mods that make the game more immersive at some point

[dark coyote]

I like wardislove, comfyquickslots, and the refined X mods. I think there should be no portal restrictions but portals should require infrastructure to function, and a cast time to place.

[polar osprey]

Grid planting is my go to QoL

[dry dome]

is abomination only thing that drops root?

[fossil delta]

I can't think of anything else that does.

[neon steppe]

definitely getting it when i start modded playthrough, thanks

[shy marlin]

[foggy glacier]

Wohoo, finally got a Vile trophy!

[shy marlin]

jealous

on vile #27 rn 🥀

[foggy glacier]

I've been grinding every night for a while now.

[indigo shell]

Hey everyone!

Looking for regular, reliable players to join me in my world.

I’d love for the group to meet up roughly once a week for a few hours at a scheduled time that works for everyone. It’s not mandatory, but the idea is to form a small, active community that plays and progresses together.

I’m mainly looking for active, cooperative players who want to be part of something long-term. Whether you’re a builder, explorer, or just like hanging out and helping the group thrive, you’re welcome here.

Currently we are as far as the swamps and mountains (but have not defeated either boss), so we have iron and stone and will likely be staying here for a while to prioritize main base building, resource gathering, and exploring. I have weeks in this server, and probably 150 hours. I have included some photos of our base so far.

Looking forward to adventuring together 🛶🔥

[foggy glacier]

Try posting this in #1024264966712340510

[indigo shell]

just saw that, thank you

[foggy glacier]

any time

[forest owl]

Did they change the amount of damage enemies do with the last patch?

[shy marlin]

You're the second person to say that today, i'm gonna look into this myself now

What difficulty settings are you on, and what armor are you using

[forest owl]

Normal difficulty, have full iron armour fully upgraded with iron weapons and wolf back. Wolves kick my butt in mountains.

[fossil delta]

If your going at night, that can be expected.

[forest owl]

I always sleep at night and go during the day. I know the night sucks.

[wintry valve]

The night is when the sea serpents spawn, tho

[solemn dune]

are the vilebone maulclaws worse than flesh rippers? cuz they mainly do pierce which is worse against most things?

or maybe I'm just overthinking it?

[late brook]

and thunderstorms, and they take a bit to despawn

[late brook]

at that point just get Frostner amigo, but I suppose that means you need Ymir Flesh from Haldor, Frostner carries through plains

[solemn dune]

??? no I'm talking about fist weapons here not maces

[late brook]

I realize but what I'm saying is Frostner is just flat out better and will carry you so dont bother with fist weapons, but to answer your question the maulclaws are better than the flesh rippers imo. Flesh rippers are kinda buns

[late brook]

Pierce is only super weak in the early game, plains and onward it balances out

[solemn dune]

except yag who is super resistant to pierce.

[late brook]

because he is a big ahh skeleton, ur not wrong amigo

But then Frostner just annihilates him because hes weak to blunt and spirit

[gray sand]

Yeah but he is weak to spirit and the for some reason the silver spear doesn't do spirit damage. So you're using the sword most likely anyway.

[late brook]

*FROSTNER

[gray sand]

🤮

Personal bias aside: Frostner is "fine" vs. Yag.
Silver Sword is BiS.

[late brook]

more like BS

[solemn dune]

idgaf about how good frostner is I'm using other weapons

[late brook]

this is fair, fun over meta is always respectable

[solemn dune]

game isn't hard

[gray sand]

Frostner isn't good so fun over hype is respectable 💛

[late brook]

man hates Frostner lmao

[gray sand]

Yes.

[late brook]

it is boring tbf

[gray sand]

Nothing to do with boringness.

[late brook]

I find It boring, didnt say you found it boring

mr contrarian

[silk dome]

Sup

[uncut bough]

man why does iron chest recipe require fine wood

i stocked up so many iron bars, so many wood pieces and to get hit with a fine wood requirement

[wintry valve]

To be fair its not exactly hard to get finewood

just replant birch and... huh... those giant meadow trees

oak trees

[woeful spire]

How much does this game cost? 💲 forgot :/

[weak swift]

Should i waste my time on a boar pen and taming boars? Since im playing on 2x resources I dont think i need to and getting to swamp anyway

[tacit crystal]

Still 19,99 €.

[wintry valve]

you use boar for a while even after meadow

but its not a big deal, especially with the options you chose

[gray sand]

Because what farm is complete with farm animals?

[fluid cove]

its a good thing to keep a boar farm to get leather scraps easily as it still have uses until the Plains

[heady parcel]

With 2x resources there really shouldn't be a need. Heck, I'm playing on 1.0 resources and I have a chest full of scraps just from killing the boars that spawn near my base on a daily basis. The meat I'm burning into coal at this point..

I have built two boar farms on earlier worlds, each time I have pretty much abandoned the poor buggers after completing it. So, if you @weak swift don't think it is fun to tame them just for the sake of doing it, and having some swine around that you can cuddle now and then, I'd say you don't need to spend time on it.

[keen trench]

i dont' do auto afk farms or stuff, so my typical "harvest" consists of 12 boars per generation... on 1x i find it overall useless with boars less than 1 star and prefer hunting in that case. If boars are 1 star or more, 12 per gen is ok and even comfy, but only early in the game, if i don't find / take time to tame starred boars before swamps i'd just skip it probably

[high coral]

what do you feed them boars with? before having access to farming

[heady parcel]

Berries

[tacit crystal]

Any forageables in meadows and black forest: mushroom, raspberries, blueberries. Not yellow mushrooms tho.

[ember egret]

I started a hardcore no map no portal game and man the whole way you play the game is so different

the immersion factor makes you do things you wouldn't ever think about like building roads and signs to navigate

also you deforest according to the path you're making

[analog grotto]

no portal sounds like a total slog, is it really fun to play like that?

[ember egret]

normally it would be because your goal for the game is fast progression

but playing this way sort of shifts your thinking to changing the world to suit yourself around you and you happen to progress

progression is slower but the experience is vastly different

[heady parcel]

I am absolutely loving it, but if you feel you have to progress constantly in a game you'd probably hate it, since it does slow the process down a whole lot. But for me it immensely increases the immersion, since I need to plan ahead and be smart about where I place my outposts. Also building roads to make carting less rage-inducing, which has the side effect of "taming" the landscape. I'm planning to build a paved and wisp-lit damn road through mistlands just for the hell of it!

But, once I get to Ashlands I will allow myself to build stone portals (head canon - stone portals are the ONLY portals...) because no way in heck I am subjecting myself to travelling that hellscape without portals.

Either that or filling the entire bloody biome with fireplaces to push spawns away from where I move.

[coarse gust]

you have to be fond of sailing, and the ocean soundtrack... that's all.

[tame perch]

I wish pierce dmg was good 💀

I swear every 2nd mob I fight has res or high res to pierce

[foggy glacier]

A lot of them do, yes.

[heady parcel]

There are many that resist all or several physical damage types, but apart from skellies and charred not many that resist pierce exclusively. Several bosses do however, which I suppose is intentional to make bows less ideal in those fights.

[ember egret]

pierce may not be great, but bows are great

especially because you can switch up your damage types with different arrows

[hidden gorge]

i feel the same way about axes and swords even. everything pales in comparison to the overwhelmingly op club category of weapons

[shy marlin]

say what

[lavish bloom]

Does crops and tameable animals need sunlight?

Im making a farm base rn

[orchid locust]

crops require an open sky to grow, that's all you need to keep in mind

in fact, protecting your animals with some sort of roofed building is something you definitely want

[lavish bloom]

So i cant build a roof for my carrots?

[orchid locust]

nope

[pallid linden]

so being a new player to this game and not survival games in general how did you guys find this game? what was your first thoughts on it?

[tacit crystal]

After some over 3200 hours I can tell you the game is alright.

[pallid linden]

hey it looks fun and its one of my fave genres so it wsa a no brainer

[tacit crystal]

Little joking for sure, but I actually don't remember how I initially first time found out about the game. But surely I got hooked, lined and sinked in it.

[pallid linden]

are there any plans for crossplay with this title?

[tacit crystal]

There is crossplay already.

[pallid linden]

xbox and playstation?
doubt it could run on switch

[pallid linden]

yay

[tacit crystal]

Xbox now, PS in 2026.

[pallid linden]

i love how more people will be able to play it

[pliant hatch]

I hope you got gills or a diving suit with a good respiration device.
Otherwise you might drown at some point..... 🙁

[pallid linden]

Nope. They could be destroyed by monsters occasionally if they can't find you but you're still in the zone.

In that case, it'll be there until you find someone else to help you retrieve it.
Or fly to that location using Dev-commands

That's what I used as reference, game so good I'm still playing it quite actively.

But since 2021 the game has gotten very notable updates, including 2 finished biomes and the final one is on its way. 👍

To me this game is simply a next step in the evolution of Survival Sandbox games.
I started with LiF:YO, went to Wurm Online (the only game besides Valheim with a "Free Build" system), did Medieval Dynasty, then Valheim. Tried Enshrouded and the last version of Runescape, but those don't have the right feeling for me.

Valheim offers a liberty I've only found in Wurm Online so far; with a tad or RPG added to it and without the monthly subscription. 😄

I love how Valheim won't punish you overly much for not optimising everything or making progression your main priority. If I want to spend months loitering in Meadows building a cosy little base, I can do that without the game trying to rush me ahead to beat the next boss or whatever. If I want to push on constantly and get to bosses asap, the game allows for that too - and everything in between, including excessive building, obsessive resource farming etc etc. I love this about Valheim. Then on top of all that they added the world modifiers so long-timers can shake things up - or if you're a newbie and struggling so much that you're not having fun, you can tweak the game to be more forgiving to match your own approach. All in all a game nearly as perfect as is even possible - and it's not even fully done yet!
