valheim-chat

[spare cairn]

That or ill wait until the towers get abandoned by natural means to go n loot

[fossil delta]

Yeah I prefer ground fights. Less damage to towers that way. Except their fire mages. Those idiots will destroy their towers.

[spare cairn]

Ive seen a Gjall pull a kamikaze and just dive headfirst into the top floor, and proceed to get mercd XD

[lunar sapphire]

"What's up Gjall?"

I'll take my leave

[spare cairn]

Also what does the ice thing by my name mean?

[lunar sapphire]

you asked about deep north 😄

[fossil delta]

I'm pretty boring. Smiffe only messed with my name once.

[spare cairn]

That...makes sense

[paper marsh]

Sadly not

[fossil delta]

I just stick with the feathered cape. It helps keep me alive more than the others, plus I make loads of fire wine.

[willow spruce]

How difficult is Moder?

[short gale]

For me, it was the easiest

I just silver sworded and bowed her down

[willow spruce]

Can you do it easily with max iron gear? or do I really need silver

[paper marsh]

Just depends on skill. I'd say Iron should be fine

If you're using iron armor, probably best to down a ||ratatosk||, at least if you've found bog witch

Being slow might get you killed from one of her high damage attacks

She is the first boss that starts doing pretty high damage on attacks imo, but her attacks are also generally pretty easy to dodge, and the fight is made so you can use ranged attacks if you're feeling unsafe at parrying/dodging in melee

[spare cairn]

You can do it VERY easy with cheese, or with moderate ease with a good bow, lots of arrows, and a nice level area to fight her

[thick tartan]

hey everyone. just picked up the game for christmas. excited to be here ive had this game on my "let it cook" list for a long time

[pure burrow]

Anyone wanna create a world ?

[tacit crystal]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 might. 👍

[craggy hill]

I played Valheim even more and I wondered if it was time to update the heavy armor sets because they look the most lackluster.

[night axle]

Is berzerker armor any good

[tacit crystal]

The bear? I'd say so.

[tepid prawn]

heavy is good from wolf onward if you don't mind being slowed down a bit or drink rata mead like there's no tomorrow

and bunny mead

[plush umbra]

guys how do you guys make defenses near rivers or beaches cause my base is located near it and i dont want any stupid mobs destroying my boat everytime

Cause a U - shaped Wall and moat is pretty good but cant they just swim around it?

[merry pebble]

Unless enemies can see something they attack on sight over your walls they will not try to swim around them.
Exception being raid enemies since they are always agrroed and dont need line of sight check. But in general just make sure they can see over the walls and you will be fine 😄

[proven marsh]

Is mistlands iron farming more viable than crypts? (Ram, trollstav, max pic)

[tacit crystal]

Crypts still grant most iron out of all sources, although some sources in Mistlands are useful too, especially the viaducts.

[proven marsh]

What worked for me is rushing to crypt chests, ignoring dead end piles, a lot of time saved doing that

[tacit crystal]

Good pickaxe and the piles are gone fast.

[plush umbra]

so basically i only need to be worried about raids since they will swim over to try and get to me? and destroy everything?

[merry pebble]

Pretty much 🙂

And for those you just have to jump outside of your walls

[plush umbra]

i see welp next run imma find an island and make my base on an island surrounded by water

so my boat will be safe

[tacit crystal]

You can break the boat and put the mats on safety box.

[plush umbra]

thats true but i tried doing it a bunch of time and i usually lose nails and leather idk

maybe im doing it wrojng

imma try it better next time

[merry pebble]

You just have to make sure you have enough space and carry weight left when you destroy it 🙂
And you should stand in the middle of the boat and hit the mast to destroy it.

[plush umbra]

got it thanks

[tacit crystal]

If you put the mats in empty chest it should show how much the mats weight.

[candid basalt]

Everytime I get to mistlands I forget salad makes x3 and end up with a ton of salad

[pallid summit]

is there any way to keep your server open

in valheim

[tacit crystal]

Making it dedicated server. You can check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 for more info.

[next orbit]

when do you think will it release

[lunar sapphire]

In due time viking, in due time

[next orbit]

i need it asap, what if I am dead before it will release?

Then I never got to play it

[lunar sapphire]

I... that is how death works I guess

[next orbit]

but that sucks

[pliant hatch]

No. Vacuum cleaner sucks.

Life pulls tricks on us to make us stronger.

[next orbit]

But I cant be stronger than before if I am dead

[lunar sapphire]

At this point I don't think you need the Deep North update.

Potentially some irl~

[next orbit]

Well right now I spend all my days going out to drink with my friends, I barely spend time online anymore. However that will change once the deep north drops

Ill turn my room into a bunker

[short gale]

Im seeing dvergers but no base

[pliant hatch]

They roam the Mistlands too.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, random spawns or the ones that spawn near big wisp lanterns.

[short gale]

Should I kill them?

[tacit crystal]

Depends. They can be helpful against other mobs in Mistlands.

But there is something you need from their camps/towers.

[pliant hatch]

There's not really a need to.

The only locations where they "must" be killed are at their towers and at the excavation sites, as that's where you can find the extractors.
And when you play things smart, there isn't even a need for that, because you can use some things of the environment doing it for you.

[short gale]

Ok, sweet. I didnt know I had to for the extractor I thought i would come across it in their chests

[lunar sapphire]

I've been stitched up...

[tacit crystal]

Either letting other mobs deal with them or somehow getting their wards or the special boxes destroyed is safe way to get the extractors Thorin mentioned.

Or deal with them by yourself.

[pliant hatch]

And where do you think the chests are?
Somewhere walking along in Mistlands?

[lunar sapphire]

That's not what was said?

[polar mulch]

Is there any point in going to the current deep north in my save?

[tacit crystal]

If you want to catch the fish to place on wall or for fishing hat.

[polar mulch]

Ok Ty 🙂

[short gale]

Just hit day 420

[tacit crystal]

You could go to very edge area at most East/West area which probably won't get affected by much from the update.

[polar mulch]

Ok

Are there any plans for having an east and west biome like the deep north and ashlands

[tacit crystal]

No, there will not be new biomes added.

[polar mulch]

Ok

[lone rampart]

Deep East 🥷
Deep West 🤠

[polar mulch]

I would love a deep west desert

Then there can be muskets

[pliant hatch]

Shallow East, flat west.

[polar mulch]

Greydawf cowboys

[lone rampart]

Me: “man a cowboy-themed Valheim would freaking slap!”
Also me: “you mean rdr2?”
Original Me: “Shut up me that’s not even the same!”

[polar mulch]

Exactly

Rdr2 doesn't have greydawf

[lone rampart]

Cactus greydwarf 🌵

Or a tumbleweed greydwarf 🤣

[polar mulch]

Troll cowboy

That would be sick

[polar mulch]

Greydawf couldn't be much more then tumbleweed tbf

They don't do enough damage to be a cactus

[lone rampart]

True, but tumbleweeds would have a speed boost

[polar mulch]

Good point

Tumbleweed greylings

They are fastish

[lone rampart]

Trolls aren’t normally found in West mythology. You have things like thunderbirds, jackalopes, maybe chupacabra even though that’s from Mexico & Puerto Rico

[unborn geode]

guys

[lone rampart]

Guys.
Guys.
Y’ALLheim 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[polar mulch]

Woah

[unborn geode]

I just buy this game, what thing I should do first?

[pliant hatch]

And galls?

[lunar sapphire]

Hit "Play"

[polar mulch]

Create a character

[lone rampart]

Hey! Welcome to your new life! First thing is to take it all in at your own pace, and listen to the bird

[unborn geode]

no no no 😂 I mean, what thing I MUST do first

[polar mulch]

You don't have to do anything

[lone rampart]

Build a passable shelter, but other than that the world is your mead hall!

[polar mulch]

Just go at your own pace and the bird should tell you enough

[unborn geode]

yeah, I built a house 3x4, have roof, torch

[polar mulch]

If you are very stuck you can watch a spoiler free starter guide

[unborn geode]

which one? the black bird?

[polar mulch]

That dude

[unborn geode]

okayyyy

[lone rampart]

Yeah don’t listen to the seagulls they’re full of nonsense and feathers

[polar mulch]

Those feathers are useful tho if you can hunt some

[unborn geode]

uhhh, yellow bar at bottom, how can I increase it?

[heady parcel]

Stamina. Everything you do costs stamina, when you run out you can't do anything. It regenerates when you don't spend it. Eating food gives you more stamina to spend. Resting (by a fire) gives you a buff that makes stamina and health regenerate faster. Keep that buff up all the time.

[keen sierra]

obliterator will come very handy because ashlands already gave us a half black metal chest worth of charred bones

[tacit crystal]

The Rite of Passage pt 1: die to a falling tree.

[unborn geode]

nah I'm really dead by it 😂

just happened

[tacit crystal]

Rite of Passage achieved.

Pt. 2 would be dying to a different log... ||that someone holds||... Maybe. 👀

[unborn geode]

which one?

[tacit crystal]

Don't think too much, gather everything you can and make some nice starter weapons, hunt animals etc.

Also, welcome.

[pliant hatch]

Nope, pt 2 is dying of stepping in your own campfire.
Pt 3 is falling of your roof.

[steel mica]

Pt 3 dying to smoke

[hasty geyser]

I killed my first serpent! Even managed to kill it out at sea and still get a couple of scales and a trophy

[timber marsh]

the first serpent encounter is the most exciting, we didnt know they existed and the panic trying to run to shore, the scale shield was a trophy i still hang up to this day

[polar mulch]

We found our first serpent basically after the elder sailing to our first swamp. It was close to shore but the shore was a plains biome so we didn't land there for obvious reasons. But we had accidentally lured out a deathsquito that agroed onto the sea serpent and they started fighting echover saving us

[dreamy kiln]

next time bring it on land and loot the rest 🙂

[gusty horizon]

I died is was reborn on another continent, there is no portal to return

i hate my life

[fossil delta]

That's an example of why they suggest making beds and claiming them during the game start up.

[timber marsh]

You didn't build your entire base right on top of spawn?

[gusty horizon]

returning to base a serpent appeared and killed me

well i give up

[gusty horizon]

I have a bed, but I had the spawn on the old bed

[fossil delta]

Water recovery is the easiest.

[timber marsh]

Could always ask someone to hop in your world for an escort

[gusty horizon]

I was going back to get my items on the other continent

[fossil delta]

The serpent won't be there. Sail during the day and get no rains and you won't get another serpent.

[tacit crystal]

Given it was night spawn serpent.

[gusty horizon]

I'm on the initial boat, it takes 1 full day to cross the ocean

😭 I just have bad luck in this game

[fossil delta]

There has to be land you can stop at along the way. Do you not have portal mats?

[gusty horizon]

I lost everything, it's all on the other side of the ocean

[fossil delta]

Oh, so you don't have spares. Yeah that does suck.

[gusty horizon]

I only have a boat and a dream

[fossil delta]

You have more than you started with. At least you don't have to use rafts.

[gusty horizon]

well now I don't even have the boat

[gusty horizon]

I'M USING RAFTS 😭

[fossil delta]

You said boat! 🙂 😀

[gusty horizon]

I didn't notice, I'm so exhausted

[nocturne wolf]

raft is the first boat

[fossil delta]

Well hopefully your starter area is big enough to provide you with more mats. One thing about survival games is gather as much extra supplies as you can find.

[gusty horizon]

I was trying to get my items back from the crypts before all this happened

then I was already poor and exhausted

two hells

[fossil delta]

What biome did you die in, the first time? Besides ocean.

[gusty horizon]

swamp, I lost the main items and the extra items

[fossil delta]

Well, at least it's not the plains next to a village.

[gusty horizon]

Swamps are horrible too

there's always a way to get worse

[fossil delta]

Yep. I've died plenty of times in swamps.

[gusty horizon]

I died and was taken to another continent

that's suck

and it tires me

[fossil delta]

Yeah, closest I have come to that is the ocean. When I land in new areas, first thing I do is put up a portal.

[gusty horizon]

I had a portal and I changed it temporarily, but I died

[fossil delta]

Of course the last thing I do is land in swamps. Unless I am already in iron gear.

[gusty horizon]

good tip

If I could just get there 💔

This game takes your smile away for weeks

but I'm a masochist

[gray sand]

? I have smiled for like... 90%+ of my playtime.

[fossil delta]

A good trait to have for survival games. 😆

[gusty horizon]

Are you a masochist?

[gusty horizon]

fr

[fossil delta]

That is a can of worms best left unopened.

[gusty horizon]

loll

[spare cairn]

Others: "There is a faster way to do anything."
Me: "But this is the fun way"
Also that way :
Takes 3x as long and drains 10x the sanity

[fossil delta]

So Valheim is perfect for you.

[gray sand]

No.

[gusty horizon]

liar

[gray sand]

Good talk.

[spare cairn]

I coulda used the big stone blocks for my castle walls. But nope. I interlaced them with just 2x1s, 1x1s, and pillars, for a full height of 12 layers and over 1500m in total length, by hand

I spent over 14 hrs on just a wall. and im proud of it

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I'm too obsessive over mats to do that.

I have to make efficient use of them.

[hearty niche]

Have the devs officially said no to trap doors / floor doors?

[pliant hatch]

AFAIK it's not being rejected 'officially', but you may do a search in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202313314856603658 as it has been suggested a few dozen times by now.

[dim crest]

ts game is so beautiful 🥹

I love valheim visuals

makes me cry tears of joy 🥹

I love this game so much

[dark coyote]

"the first boat" you mean the raft? That is for emergencies only.
Never leave home, especially sailing, without portal mats, plant it when you make landfall.
Do you have bronze yet?

[dim crest]

Everything about it is beautiful and jolly

[gusty horizon]

I'm just trying to get my items back so the raft

I'm already in the swamp, I lost my items there

well twice

[timber marsh]

We have like 13 portals scattered we make so many

[dark coyote]

it exists in mods,|| finewoodpeices|| for example, but the problem is that anything modded can't be seen by someone without the mod installed

[timber marsh]

A new friend just started so I joined their world and helping them "catch up" so they can help us fight yagluth. Just got them to bronze

Kinda funny joining them with maxed out plains gear as they're just starting out.

Sure we could just give them everything but what's the fun in that

[dark coyote]

can I join? 👉 👈

[timber marsh]

they started their own world. so i just hopped in theirs

#1024264966712340510 theres many

[dark coyote]

oh I thought it wass you and santts

[gusty horizon]

loll

[hearty niche]

Yeah the only mod I'll ever use in Valheim is the thing that gives me a grid for farming. I appreciate the suggestion though.

[timber marsh]

The server is vanilla but we do use client side mods

[polar mulch]

What client side mods do you use?

[timber marsh]

Render mod for better performance can see the whole horizon now and makes it look so much better seeing mountains super far off. and cosmetic stuff

[polar mulch]

Ok

I might use farming grids

[heady parcel]

Gods below, my usage of frost arrows in Ashlands is not sustainable

Gonna have to dial it down and only use them on starred things and morgen/valkyries

I had a chest full of them, in just a few days it is depleted entirely

[fossil delta]

I don't even use them in Ashlands. I can see why people would use them. I just use Ash arrows, since they become so plentiful.

[heady parcel]

Since all mobs resist pierce, the frost arrows are the ones that do most damage - but most of all the slow is VERY handy when up against starred warriors and the like

But I'm going to have to swap to cheaper arrows except vs the biggest baddies

[nocturne wolf]

or to another weapon entirely

[heady parcel]

Oh I bonk them up close as much as possible, but Ashlands has a tendency to spam swarms of enemies in waves, and when that happens I toss some frost arrows around and run like brave Sir Robin

Not healthy to stay in melee range when three, four or more warriors are converging on you

[tired path]

Does the Atgeir secondary deal Pierce damage as well?

[nocturne wolf]

Secondary attacks can only multiply damage, they always deal the same damage types

otherwise against many enemies only one attack on your weapon would be viable

[quaint brook]

idk why but it took me ages to get in here lmao, does anyone have suggestions for server hosting with modding support?

[tired path]

What kind of suggestion are you looking for?

As in, how to host a modded server? Or what exactly? For example, I play lightly modded and playing with other people is never a problem. I only play with friends though

[short gale]

I found my first Dvergr camp

I kited two seekers and they go demolished

[paper marsh]

The seekers or the dvergr?

[short gale]

seekers lol

[paper marsh]

Very nice

Sometimes the seekers win if they come in with a nice flying attack or the dvergr get confused and miss their shots

But I hate the poor dwarven fellas dying, they’re so cool

[short gale]

Sweeet somehow from the bottom the destroyed my extractor crate so I get it ez. A dvergr mustve shot it

[fossil delta]

I used to use G Portal, but my most recent experience was noticeably lower quality, so not sure if you would like them, but they do support using mods.

[frozen vale]

can u tame boars if theyre inside a house?

[fossil delta]

If they had a fire mage, it was probably him. They like to destroy everything.

[fossil delta]

Yes.

Thats how I most often do it, to keep them safe.

Just don't have any fires near by, until tamed. I think they still get terrified by fires.

They used to get terrified even after being tamed.

[frozen vale]

haha got suspended for trying to send an img link lol

[frozen vale]

how long do they take to breed?

[fossil delta]

Breeding takes 30 minutes if it all goes smoothly. There is a mead that cuts that down to 15 minutes. I think its called Animal Whispers.

[tacit crystal]

Those numbers are for taming.

[fossil delta]

Oh, yeah. I am distracted chatting with my kids. 😄

[tacit crystal]

Taken from wiki:

"Breeding is checked every 30 seconds. Creatures gain a love point if the following conditions are true:

• Random roll of 33% succeeds.
• The creature is not hungry.
• The creature is not alerted (no red exclamation mark).
• Total number of creatures and offspring is less than the limit (including the creature itself).
• Suitable partner exists nearby (tamed, not hungry, not pregnant).
• The area is active (any player within ~64 meters, exact distance depends on the underlying zone system).

Successful love point is indicated by pink hearts. After gaining enough love points, the creature becomes pregnant, which is not visualized. After a set time, the creature gives birth, visualized by a red cloud."

TL;DR: it can take few minutes to them starting to have offsprings as long as there are at least 2 of them, they're not hungry or alerted and are close to each other. Player proximity is required.

[fossil delta]

The area limit is real close to 10 square meters. So I put a pair per "house" that I build for them.

Then separate the pairs by that much, if I am not making a factory. Which I only do on servers with many players.

[short gale]

went in the steamroom earlier. Could tell fs thats what inspired mistlands

[spare cairn]

TF WAS THAT??? BONE MAW???? GAME WHYYYYYYY

[chrome badge]

You were chosen by the All Father to brave these harsh conditions.

[spare cairn]

tbf I was also playing an altered experience, and it was the size of one of the ocean spikes in the ashlands XD

[lone rampart]

"playing an altered experience" makes it sound like you were partaking of something 😹 🍄‍🟫

[spare cairn]

whoever made the morgen, you made a dope monster, but by god does my anxiety hate you

[fossil delta]

Its not all that bad when its by itself. At least not with the BM Tower Shield.

[spare cairn]

well ya see, I had an arbalest, and a dwarven claymore....

[fossil delta]

Yeah, those are not ideal for a Morgen.

[spare cairn]

and in that tiny space? it was like resident evil all over again

[fossil delta]

Inside their cave? I own them in there. Think I usually used Mistwalker too.

[spare cairn]

quick question....if I kill fader, will ashlands mobs start showing up at night?

[pastel hawk]

I have a question too lol. Im looking for a server to play on thats pretty active and talkative of course. Does anyone know of any I could join?

[solar plaza]

#1024264966712340510

[solar plaza]

I actually didn't mind using the arbalest initially against them, they roll enough that there is plenty of time to reload/focus on dodges. But yeah when out in the open and other thugs join the fight def ain't the best.

[fossil delta]

Yep. Not sure what it is, though. I didn't play long enough to find out.

[jovial sleet]

my boat keeps vibrating around... wtf how do i fix it

[spare cairn]

as long as it isnt valkeries or askvins im good

[solar plaza]

I don't mind askvins, but valks scared the shit outta me especially when I'm not expecting them. They just move so fast

[fossil delta]

Should be just warriors. Maybe even the weaker guys.

Twitchers?

[paper marsh]

Yes but it'll also disable the Ashlands raid, and not add new raids since deep north isnt out yet

[spare cairn]

fine by me!

[spare cairn]

well yes, but that is until my altered experience kicks in and everything that spawns at night is a guaranteed MINIMUM of 8 stars 😅

[chrome badge]

Oh god, have you even played through it vanilla yet?

[spare cairn]

ye, just not ashlands, played it years ago, before mistlands change. got bored quick. so mods. and it has not dissapointed XD

[chrome badge]

🙁 that's a shame you didn't turn that into feedback and went right to mods

[spare cairn]

I play A LOT of games, if I dont feel it I dont feel it. Doesnt mean the games are good or bad, just not my taste. and sometimes mods change that for the better, or worse. Ive played a game similiar to this game and liked it, and went to mod it and it ruined it.

I like when games are made by a dev team because THEY like the game, not cause they try to make as many people like it as they can. I like when devs play to their niche!

this game does that well, just at that point in time, I didnt enjoy it. Now I do. put in over 100hrs in 2 weeks XD

[broken haven]

https://www.twitch.tv/dj_virus_

so sexy lmao

[low warren]

time for my annual lamentation that 2h sword alt attack isn't pierce damage

[exotic hornet]

do you guys think its worth maining atgeirs through the game including the ashlands when playing with a group? the staggering with the secondary is pretty crazy. i feel like it can be good in conjuction with a mage lategame

been wanting to branch off from traditional "meta" weapon classes

[low warren]

while some things are stronger than others, pretty much anything is viable with a bit of extra effort

[barren whale]

imo pierce is a worse dmg type than slash so i'll take the slash

[spare cairn]

blunt is best

frostner is ur best friend

[barren whale]

yea frostner is fucking goated

[plush umbra]

guys is black soup insane?

[next orbit]

I am insane

[devout storm]

Same

[tacit crystal]

Only warriors or archers.

[primal pebble]

do boars respawn at runestones? or only a 1 time spawn

[merry pebble]

Only 1 time spawn 🙂

[warm nova]

the best feeling in this game is game is going up to the troll bastards that have been harrasing you since black forrest

parrying them with a spear and watching their shocked expression as you turn them into pin cussions.

[spare cairn]

My favorite thing is setting up a ring of balistas around a boss alter. Set to that boss, and watching it melt melt away

[merry pebble]

Slap them with atgeir and stab stab stab 😄
Dont give thm even chance to swing

[tacit crystal]

Or backstab damage with knife.
Copper knife damages a lot, Abyssal razor can oneshot.

[polar mulch]

It can

That would be so funny

Does it need to be upgraded at all?

[tacit crystal]

Maybe not? I've at least used quality 2 razor usually.

Abyssal razor is super good especially if you get lucky and find leviathans early. 🍀

[polar mulch]

We found 1 relatively early but we didn't know the reset strat until after when we looked it up on the wiki

[chrome badge]

Ah, well the game is in early access, and perhaps what you didn't enjoy could've resulted in invaluable feedback, as it is still in testing phases. I understand trying to respect the vision, but the developers are flexible to a degree as we've seen many times.

[proven pebble]

how viable is unarmed (will i have to switch to another weapon to progress)?

[polar mulch]

Unarmed trains the punching skill which isn't very viable because of the little damage but there are weapons later on that train the same skill if you wanna keep using punching skill
-# tell me if you wanna know a relatively early weapon you can use

[proven pebble]

thanks, i know there are the bear paws, flesh rippers and the vile bear paws, am i missing any?

[polar mulch]

Idk I have not got that far

I think the wiki has a section on it tho

[paper marsh]

No shame in not exploiting glitches

[polar mulch]

Ik

We didn't know about the glitch and we both said simultaneously we would do the glitch next time

[paper marsh]

Fact.

But still some of the pierce weapons are some of the most Powerful weapons in the game

[polar mulch]

Bows are the only Peirce weapon I use atm

I use my duos hand me downs from his bows because he has better aim then me

I just go out hunting sometimes

[paper marsh]

Bows are the most busted weapon in the game imo

Closely followed by atgeirs

[glossy heath]

bows for sure are, nothing benefits from skill levels as much as bows

[polar mulch]

I take agro because I am good at parrying and my friend dishes out most of the damage with bows

[hasty geyser]

Man I am eating through so many chests of stone

[glossy heath]

the stone construction experience

[hasty geyser]

Yeah its my first time and I might have tried to go too big

[glossy heath]

think i've used like 300k for my main base and it's not even done yet, been saving up stone for hundreds of hours of playtime before i even started building that because i knew it was gonna vacuum it up like it's nothing.
i am physically incapable of walking by a rock without picking it up

[hasty geyser]

Well i'm looking at my full stone floor thinking about picking it up and having wood instead

[polar mulch]

Do you use the troll mead whatever it's called to carry more stone?

I think we have about 500 in piles arround my base

We kinda just stick them wherever they fit

[glossy heath]

i haven't continued working on it since before troll mead was added

[hasty geyser]

I just go and sticka cart in the black forest and fill it with stone

[polar mulch]

Ok

Is a cart worth it

I was making a big trade route

A bit like the silk road

For iron transport and stuff

[hasty geyser]

I found it quite helpful simply to use it as a bigger chest lol

And then portal a full inventory to my build

[polar mulch]

I made an open plan tent and filled it with chests

It has no walks just poles in the corner

I think it's a 2x7

In 2m floors

[tacit crystal]

Fist weapons are great, bear paws deal good damage at that stage of the game and are great till mountains when used right. Kick secondary attack has 6x stagger multiplier which can stagger even bigger foes quite easily like abominations in swamps or fuling berserkers in plains. And their primary attack being 2 hit combo each other attack deal 2x damage.

Also, Vilebone Maulclaws dealing mostly pierce and slightly slash, they're great for hunting lox: #memes-and-clips message

[hasty geyser]

dude I just got jumped by a wolf by standing too close to a mountain lol

Surprised I survived that I was eating carrots, honey and yellow mushrooms 😭

[tacit crystal]

Suggestion: make better foods ASAP.

[hasty geyser]

I have food but I've probably spent that last 15 hours farming stone and building so i've just been using cheap stam food

I've not been to the mountains yet but I have lots of wolf pelt lol

Also are greydwarf farms any good or am I better off just mining stone?

[polar mulch]

Idk but I think they would be good as a passive while your at your base

[tacit crystal]

Depends, when built properly it continues producing wood/stone/others but requires being in same area.

[hasty geyser]

Thought that might be the case, I dont think theres a spawner close to anywhere I spend time

[earnest pivot]

What is everyone else planning once 1.0 drops in terms of worlds?
I'm currently weighing the merits of carrying our current one over (since we specifically didn't go north to prevent world-gen), and starting a new persistent final world in case there were generation tweaks.

With how massive some of the builds we did were (weeks of work) it's a hard thought to just start again. But I'm really hoping some of the generation issues are addressed with 1.0. Specifically the Ashlands lag. And from what I understand with that, it's something that is fixed with an engine update. I don't know if that would require new world-gen.

I think we might go the route of a massive "migration to new lands".

[magic vapor]

it probably would require newly generated areas otherwise there would be a very obvious difference between old and new generation

like with minecraft generation (it would not be as drastic as it is with minecraft) you might see huge and very sudden terrain changes

[tacit crystal]

Any terrain changes should mainly happen in Deep North area.

[earnest pivot]

Yeah. There may also be some other small changes elsewhere too that I didn't want to forget. Like the ||skeleton arenas|| and other small immersion bits.

[tacit crystal]

Mistlands update affected to terrain in Mistlands areas (and slightly the neighboring borders), Ashlands update in Ashlands biome plus the Ashlands and Deep North border areas to form ocean gaps between them and the other biomes.

[nocturne wolf]

Terrain height isn’t saved to the world so it won’t change for finished biomes in old worlds.

It’s calculated whenever a zone is reloaded

[tacit crystal]

Already explored areas remain unchanged, new POIs are added in unexplored areas.

[earnest pivot]

Yeah, in the current world we're in though we do have a Mystland's island that is pretty much touching ice though. So maybe itd be best to start new

[earnest pivot]

Yup, I understand that.

[earnest pivot]

Oh thats neat, I didn't know that though

[tacit crystal]

As the Ashlands update already created the ocean gap areas between Deep North and other biomes that gap area probably will remain unchanged.

If the world gen form terrain as islands in Deep North similarly like Ashlands update did in Ashlands biome (which pushed landmass further South) then being now in border area might not affect too much of the land part deeper.

[earnest pivot]

That would solve that issue. It would also be a nice disconnect. Make it seem like the area is just all ice flows

[tacit crystal]

But that remains to be seen. At least in one older world I've been in Ashlands biome border before the update and revealing that area beforehand didn't reach to the land deeper South.

[earnest pivot]

Gotcha, so it may just be stuff that hasn't been actually loaded as explored. So the "New Biome Overlay Text" is driven by physical location on the world not what is actually loaded.

[tacit crystal]

The explored areas won't get new content/POIs but world gen can still affect to the terrain in that area.

[earnest pivot]

Got it. (Then I'm really hoping the Ashlands thing gets resolved.)

We're going to do one last Grand Voyage.

[tacit crystal]

Afaik the lag in Ashlands is mostly because of game engine bug.

[earnest pivot]

That was my understanding too

It's since been patched, but Valheim from what I understand hasn't implemented it yet

From what I've read it was actually found initially because of Valheim bug reports

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, that is the case.

[earnest pivot]

And our fantastic playerbase

[hasty geyser]

Not me, im just hitting rocks

[earnest pivot]

I suppose we'll see if that fixes it then once the patch hits the masses.

We'll probably find another limit to the engine!

[hasty geyser]

Im gonna try and tame a wolf since they keep coming down to attack me anyway

[paper marsh]

Probably gonna make a new world for a fresh playthrough with a buddy, especially as I can earn the achievements one by one that way

[hasty geyser]

I got 2 wolves trapped 😄

[short gale]

The sound effects in the mistlands gives my the ebeegeebeez

[earnest pivot]

This'll be our 4th, and possibly final playthru from Meadows -> endgame

We did it for Mystlands, Ashlands, then Ashlands again. Both the Ashlands runs we haven't even finished tbh.

There are 8 of us, and we schedule it so minimum 5 are needed to do progression related things.

And every time we hit Ashlands its just a struggle bus

[pliant hatch]

Better not log into any older game, if you want to do that.
You never know if the achievement triggering will be loaded up based upon all your progression.
Meaning the moment you load up an older game, a lot of achievements may trigger even before you're aware of getting them. And thus never being able to even have that feeling of achievement the moment you get one.

[near furnace]

it will probably be so you need to re-kill a boss or re-do some things to unlock achivements

since we probably will make some things easier and some things harder to achive

hence it will be... the same for everyone when they unlock an achivement

[molten wraith]

is there a limit to how far down you can dig?

[near furnace]

8 meter down

or usually 16 "hits"

[molten wraith]

oh ok

[near furnace]

same when you want to raise the ground. 8 meter up

[molten wraith]

why is there a limit?

[near furnace]

performance and angles

[molten wraith]

ah

[near furnace]

the ground stretches already so it looks kinda bad

and the angle it creates isn't pretty either

and no. you cannot make tunnels

(incase you where wondering)

[molten wraith]

no i was just trying to mine out a big copper deposit lol

[near furnace]

ah

[steel mica]

Just joining in the conversation, I kinda like the digging limit, forces the player to be creativ and plan ahead when building

[near furnace]

btw. everything that ends up below the ground, because things can. will self-explode when it doesn't have any connection to the ground "above"

[near furnace]

limitation feeds creativity

"how can I work around these limitations" is a very common thing 😄

[steel mica]

Only thing that bugs me are the tiny ones like needing it to be a tiny bit deeper or that deep copper deposit that stozzeer mentioned aswell

[near furnace]

that's when you just vigiourusly slam the pickaxe all over the place where the old copper use to be, and it will eventually explode from under the "world"

I would love to adjust the size of copper nodes so they never will go below the "world"

but we shall see if we got time for that

[steel mica]

People need to start using troll's destruction more

[lone rampart]

[tacit crystal]

I think, therefore I bonk.

[pliant hatch]

Trolls actually be like:

"Me not think. Me just smash."

[coarse gust]

I bonk, therefore i think

[tacit crystal]

STR/INT builds be like.

[spare cairn]

I do understand that, and devs being open to feedback is awesome. Im just really picky and fickle XD. What I like from games constantly changes, and what makes a "good experience" can be completely different in just a few months. So I play, or I mod, and if that doesnt work. I move on. I will take that into consideration though😁

[heady parcel]

Hey, am I seeing things or do vultures occasionally swoop down and grab fish?

Sorry, vOltures

[lone rampart]

Their patrol animation has them swoop and dive; I've never seen them pick up a fish though

[heady parcel]

Might have been an extremely cool co-incidence of volture diving and a magmafish jumping. Looked like the volture grabbed it from the sea and the dropped it from a height

[heady sierra]

Wonder if this game is dropping this year for ps5

Bet it won't

Next year march I reckon

[heady parcel]

In 2025, definitely not. In 2026, quite likely since the trailer said as much.

[heady sierra]

"Devs never tell the truth

[lone rampart]

There's 3 days left of "this year" so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and saaaaay....NO.

[heady parcel]

Seeing as 2025 has just three days left to it that's nothing to fret over...

[heady sierra]

It would be cool if it was the 1st of Jan lol

But march isn't too far first quarter for sure

I've been wanting this game since it was released but when I heard it was only on Xbox I was down hearted lol

[heady parcel]

Yea Sony is not keen on Early Access, holds some titles back from that market a good while

[paper marsh]

Well let me mend your broken heart

It’s not just on Xbox, it’s on pc too!

[candid basalt]

Why does soft tissue look like delicious tofu?

[paper marsh]

You think that looks like tofu?

[heady sierra]

Lol I'm not into pc just good old playstation.but I appreciate you

[heady parcel]

To trick pesky vegetarians into eating braaaains

[paper marsh]

Fair, I had a lot of good times on the PS 2 and 3

[fossil delta]

I guess it kind of looks like fried tofu.

[heady sierra]

Only game I'd love to see return ina full remastered is tenchu.miss my ninja stealth game

[heady parcel]

I have an aging PS4 that I activate like once every three months or so to play a few games of football (the game that is no longer called FIFA)

[heady sierra]

Lol FIFA I've always been rubbish at that

My bro could score against me from halfway line lol

[fossil delta]

I gave up on consoles about 15 years ago. I just put all my spare money into computers.

[heady parcel]

Only game I can wrap my M+KB-wired brain around playing on a controller

[heady sierra]

Good for you. It's all in ones taste really

[heady parcel]

Now, if next generation PS could just bridge the gap and run PC games I'd be all over it. The cost of building an acceptably capable gaming PC has gone absolutely bonkers

[heady sierra]

I'm a casual gamer so I don't need a pc but all the games I like are on pc lol

[fossil delta]

Well, consoles can't do everything computers can, but computers can do everything consoles can, and better.

[heady sierra]

Yeh it's expensive for sure ps is getting close though I reckon ps7 will be as powerful as a high end pc

Pc is good to have if you're using it for many things. But if it's just gaming you're wasting the pc really.

[ivory lantern]

helloo I just got Valheim yesterday

[heady sierra]

I hate you Must

Myst

[ivory lantern]

damn

[heady sierra]

Only kidding

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I used to buy consoles and computers. Then I realized I should just put all my money into computers.

[heady parcel]

Congratulations! Now enjoy, don't watch too many spoilers and don't rush, enjoy learning the game - it's the best part!

[ivory lantern]

yep that's what I've been doing

[fossil delta]

Yeah, definitely take your time. You only get to play Valheim for the first time, the first time.

[heady sierra]

Yeh games like this are awesome. I like playing Vrising too I love surviving games like green hell

[ivory lantern]

I do that with all my games I think even the multiplayer ones and no one seems to understand lol

[heady sierra]

I really love the style of Valheim

And the options you have in building etc

[fossil delta]

I spent over 1500 game days on my first world. When it only went up to plains. I still went too fast. 😄

[ivory lantern]

At first it was a bit jarring but as I played I started really liking it

[hasty geyser]

I like it because you can hit rocks

[ivory lantern]

so far I've just been walking around mapping out my world and I haphazardly built a little house

[heady sierra]

Nice

[ivory lantern]

I like making fantasy maps so I've just been naming random landmarks for fun

[fossil delta]

Building is why I spent so much time playing. Built my base, built my marina, restored a crap ton of towers and expanded them. Made roads between all of them.

[candid basalt]

I found a mist free valley I might have to make a home in #screenshots message

[fossil delta]

Oh yeah, gorgeous location.

[candid basalt]

A bunch of old armor and swords around too

No bodies though 🙁

[fossil delta]

Its rare to get all the elements you'd like to have.

[ivory lantern]

I just opened the game now and it's stuttering for some reason, didn't experience that before

dropped framerate and graphics and it's still stuttering hm

[heady parcel]

If you check the #valheim-help channels there are tons of tricks to troubleshoot that. Usually gpu drivers or some other hardware shenanigans

Game should run fine on pretty much any potato pc, depending on settings

I've been playing it on a 2014 i7 with 16 gb RAM and and old GTX 1070 and had smooth framerates at 1440p and high detail. So it is not a demanding game - but bad drivers and suchlike can really be noticeable

[ivory lantern]

my pc was mid to high range for its time a few years ago

i just restarted my pc and it's running fine at max settings now 🤷

[heady parcel]

Computer shenanigans

[tacit crystal]

Since developers are on holiday during that time, the chances are 0% for the Deep North release.

[heady parcel]

Yeah January 1st is the ultimate hungover pizza day, pretty much nobody in this country not in healthcare/police/military or restaurant business will work that day...

(to drastically over-simplify things, but yeah the likelyhood of a games company doing their 1.0 release on January 1st does not even exist)

[fossil delta]

As Smiffe indicated hours ago, they are doing much more than usual in house as far as testing, plus a whole lot more, because this is 1.0. So now I am thinking we won't get 1.0 until June, at best. Probably more like September, or even later.

[ivory lantern]

I could just sit in this meadow beside my house for hours this game is beautiful

[fossil delta]

Until you get to the Ashlands, anyways. Its hideous.

[glossy heath]

idk, i find ashlands pretty nice-looking for a game's obligatory hot area - deserts, volcanoes, they're always ugly as hell

[fossil delta]

I've lived in deserts. Still own a home in one. They have their own beauty. Ashlands is just pure ugly.

So they did a great job at making ugly be ugly. 😄

[heady parcel]

To be honest I would be fine with it not dropping until next Christmas, just as long as it delivers the same quality and polish as previous updates, with some extra 1.0 balancing and polish on top as icing on the cake. Better it is ready when released than they cave in to the Howling Hounds and release too early.

[ivory lantern]

hmm I'll be the judge of that!

[glossy heath]

i love ruins so i'm a bit biased, ashlands are the most ruin-dense biome yet

[fossil delta]

The ruins are the closest thing to looking pretty that it gets there.

Then the Morgen destroys them all. 😄

[glossy heath]

ashlands do have a bit of a problem with most of the scenery being super temporary

[heady parcel]

I love the ruins there - but I do not love how the locals do their damndest to raze them to the ground. Any area you travel regularly will sooner or later become a desert. The area around my base looks like the no-mans-land between the trenches in WWI...

[glossy heath]

for a place that's meant to be an endless battlefield, they sure suddenly start destroying themselves as soon as the player sets foot in them for the first time

[fossil delta]

It got better my last play through, but that was because I got better at killing everything with minimal damage to the area.

[heady parcel]

Yeah I'm poaching blobs when they're not next to trees or ruins now

[glossy heath]

the trees still bother me the most if the ember rain damages the woods that easily and none of the trees ever regrow, how are there still any trees standing by the time we get there

[heady parcel]

Very valid question, and indeed one thing I hope they change for 1.0 to allow the place to at least make a tiny bit more sense...

Or... "Fader felt our presence the very second our Drakkar crossed into the boiling waters. His ire lifted the seas and made the lava seas spit their fury into the skies, which started to come down as cinder rain soon after."

[fossil delta]

I would like to be able to grow those trees, outside of the Ashlands, but I imagine part of their properties are from existing there in the first place.

[heady parcel]

So, there were no cinder storms before we arrived. That would make sense too, but meh (and that would mean he has tolerated the dvergr for some reason)

[heady parcel]

Or, we use the Ashlands cores to make a special kiln that makes ashwood instead of coal

[fossil delta]

I could deal with that too. 😄

[heady parcel]

Does ashwood take water damage? I haven't built anyithing with it yet so I don't know... If not, it would make sense - quickly burning the surface of logs has long been a way to make more water resistant timber for building

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure I have seen people post that it does not. I haven't built with it either.

[heady parcel]

That's a bummer. So as is it is pretty much just recoloured wood, shame.

[fossil delta]

No, they said it does not take water damage.

I just don't know from personal experience.

[heady parcel]

Aaaah, blame the gin, I read your answer to my question as if I asked my question the other way around...

[tacit crystal]

Also the survivability of local Dvergr is very low after we get there.

[heady parcel]

Getting quite satisfied with my Ashlands landing now. I have a good platform built, high enough that the blobs can't get on top so they mill around below until I can get rid of any charred and then kite them away so they don't damage anything

[heady parcel]

Yeah. It is like "How the bleeding fudge did you guys survive long enough for me to get here?!?"

Now, one of the things I hope they'll put some time into before 1.0 is to make the dvergr avoid lava

[tacit crystal]

Viking: Arrives.
Dvergr: Runs into lava.

[heady parcel]

Now if that same fix at the same time makes all mobs avoid ooze bombs etcetera... "oops"

[heady parcel]

Heh, never noticed before but it is a cool take. Using the cultivator's "Grass" function is something I use a lot to make my terraforming look less invasive - if you haven't tried it do it asap, it makes your bases look SO much more natural - but until today I never tried using it in Ashlands. And as it happens it does work to muddle up the ground and walls to look less terraformed - but it will NOT sow that red grass of Ashlands. Terraformed ground is completely sterile it seems - and for Ashlands this makes a lot of sense.

But wait - I have some grass here up on my platform, dangit that killed that theory. Must be completely random then where it will generate grass

Right, so. Built an Asksvin pen. Now I just need a couple of asksvin...

[ivory lantern]

do naturally occurring tree saplings grow into bigger trees?

[heady parcel]

No

They are in fact the best source of wood there is

[ivory lantern]

Got it

[heady parcel]

1. They do not fall on your head and kill you, they burst into wood without logs

[clever jewel]

If you can, try making a terraced tree farm.

[fossil delta]

Great for resin too.

[ivory lantern]

lmao I'm lucky I haven't been killed by a falling tree yet

[solar plaza]

That just makes it a fun mini game tho

[heady parcel]

2. Clearing them makes visibility in the woods much better, so you can see mobs coming from far away

[ivory lantern]

I play without mob agro

[heady parcel]

Indeed, once you have gotten a few dozen beech seeds you can set up a tree farm. You plant a bunch of beeches as tightly together as possible where they'll actually grow, then pop them all at once, harvest the wood and replant. It's pretty much sustainable and you'll rarely need to go deforest an area ever again.

[paper marsh]

Tree farms are fun with a battleaxe

[candid basalt]

Friend visited my valley and took this shot #screenshots message

[heady parcel]

Nice pics. Recently I found this wonderful little secluded, protected beach in Mistlands. It is so nice I just have to build something there, but not anything will go there. Looking for some good looking beach bungalow builds to apply there, that don't get too invasive or require any terraforming.

[candid basalt]

Yeah I'm going to have to plan this build.

[hasty geyser]

What do I do about a roof on quite a big stone build? I dont think I can support stone floors and a huge wood roof might look a bit weird

[solar plaza]

Use iron floors

[heady parcel]

I know this is none of my business, but why?

[solar plaza]

You can run them inside of the stone, thus hiding them while providing structural support

[hasty geyser]

Ah okay that makes sense thank you, I dont know if I have enough iron for all that though

I could just use this as a wall and build wood structures inside

[heady parcel]

Iron beams are awesome

Find some elevated rock to ground them, and they'll carry your tower to crazy heights

And, funnily enough, trees work too

Gimme a sec and I'll find screenshots, but I built a tower that started at sea level but had snow on its roof tiles.

[hasty geyser]

I have a very flat base lol

[heady parcel]

Centered around a pine tree - so all vanilla, no mods, no hacks.

[clever jewel]

You could also terraform the beams

for added height

[heady parcel]

Here #screenshots message

[hasty geyser]

thats very cool

im on a much more beginner level lol

[heady parcel]

That tower is perfectly buildable without any cheats whatsoever. I built it without any devcommands. Yes, I died more than a few times - but I made it!

[clever jewel]

lol, death by building is normal as you learn with this

The worst is dragon attacks without food. lol

[heady parcel]

Now, once the tower was completed I did use devcommands to spawn a rock at the tree's topmost point, to anchor the build in something that won't wave in the wind as much...

[fossil delta]

I haven't built anything that tall in several years. 😄

[heady parcel]

When I realised I was getting snow on the roof tiles I was kinda blown away hahah

[clever jewel]

I've never built a mountain base. I ought to this time since I'm running early magic

Do a full blown wizards tower

[hasty geyser]

I'll finish up everything I know I want on my base then I'll post a screenshot later if anyone has ideas

[heady parcel]

I never make actual bases in the mountains, because you need ocean access to make logistics bearable, but the odd outpost and FOB is a given. I have found so many mountain tops where I felt FECK I NEED TO BUILD A CASTLE HERE and I marked it on the map, but I never came back. Because building an acual BASE in the mountain is very, VERY impractical

[paper marsh]

I usually build a little cozy log cabin

[heady parcel]

I'm planning to use the floor plans of Strahd's castle to build a proper mountain castle some day, but that day hasn't come yet...

[clever jewel]

Eh, sailing has never been a giant thing for me. Sadly, I do not have the game time I did when I was younger, so some more tedious game play loops don't appeal to me. Boat logistics is one of them

We run some portal mods on our server that reduces the tedium for us

[paper marsh]

I'm surprised you'd need mods for that, I feel like vanilla portals can take out all the tedium of logistics already

[clever jewel]

I run one that allows the transport of carts and animals, can be configured to bring enemies with as well

Another that removes the need to pair portals so I don't have a giant portal bug

hub

[heady parcel]

Funny thing, as you get older still you get more time all over again. So I am one of the people arguing that no-portals should be the default game setting hahaha. No worries, nobody would ever decide on that - but I am serious: If you have the time to commit, a no-portals run is the most immersive way to play this game. That's a hill I am ready to die on...

[clever jewel]

I don't doubt. Sadly my profession is rather time consuming.

[paper marsh]

Ah interesting, that does sound pretty neat

[hasty geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202303747053846608 Alright this is what I have so far

[clever jewel]

I enjoy it.

Now I just need a portal large enough for boats. lol

[heady parcel]

Bloody hell, I need my stupid viking to come up with a "bonemaw stew" recipe. Carrying a stack of cooked bonemaw around is not really feasible...

[clever jewel]

We didn't get far into ashlands last time

[heady parcel]

And something I truly appreciate about Valheim is how they actively work to provide variables to tweak to make the game work for you regardless of your life situation. That's a genuinely great thing.

[ivory lantern]

idk I like zoning out to the music and exploring without worrying about enemies.

[hasty geyser]

I just listen to loud music and then get scared shitless when a wolf comes running up on me

[heady parcel]

Fair enough, I like the sense of danger that mobs provide - especially the bigger nastier ones - but I can understand your perspective. Peace!

[hasty geyser]

Could anyone take a look at my build in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202303747053846608 if you dont mind 🙂

[ivory lantern]

oh damn I need to kill enemies to progress with basically anything

[paper marsh]

Yup

tbh that's how most games work

You got this though! And if it turns out too difficult putting it to easy mode might help too

[heady parcel]

Holy crap, that is very wide and open, if you can get reinforced beams (ironwood) across you could give it a stone floor, or the level below will always be unsheltered because there's no way to build an actual roof that big (without cheats anyway)

[ivory lantern]

I can't even get any simple gear because I can't chase down the deer

can I just throw the arrows I can craft?

[hasty geyser]

You should be able to find the stuff to make a bow to help you 🙂

[heady parcel]

You don't need to chase them down - sneak up on them and throw a spear

[merry pebble]

How about you make something that shoots the arrows 😄

[hasty geyser]

Yep, I just startedf building without knowing how I want it to look like. Im just worried a flat roof will look a bit weird

[placid delta]

sneak up and middle mouse with a knife ..

[ivory lantern]

I don't have many recipes

i only have a few hours of playtime lol

mostly just getting used to the game

[heady parcel]

I'd say give it a stone floor and then make several separate roof sections

[hasty geyser]

Oh yeah that could work, I just hope I have enough iron

[ivory lantern]

I have tier 2 workbench

[paper marsh]

First things first is probably killing boar. Boar drops unlock a lot of weapons, like a bow for your arrows

[ivory lantern]

ah

that's what I guessed based on one of those stone tablet things

[nocturne wolf]

have you got flint from water yet? That will also allow you to make a spear to throw

[hasty geyser]

You know what, Im gonna take a break from hitting rocks and building to go get bonemass

[ivory lantern]

yep

[hasty geyser]

Do i have to be near my wolves for them to breed? my farm seems to still grow when im away but my tames are not

[ivory lantern]

just killed a bunch of boars and got some unlocks thanks

[heady parcel]

Yes, for breeding to happen you need to be near. Once they are born they'll grow regardless

[hasty geyser]

That sucks, the wolves at at my starter base lol

Can I put them on a boat?

[ivory lantern]

i accidentally fell a birch tree lol

I'm using the log to break the stump

[hasty geyser]

You can also use logs to break the birch logs

[clever jewel]

@hasty geyser If you can, make breeding towers, makes things produce quickly

bonus points if the ejection point for the wolves is outside the walls, they'll proceed to make a wall of defense for your base

I personally enjoy making moats of wolves

[arctic swift]

I hope there will be a word from the devs on today 🙏

[heady parcel]

I'd say ignore anything about "breeding towers" and suchlike, that's just unnecessary automation - get tames a nice little pen to breed and leave them alone...

[hasty geyser]

Maybe I'll do that eventually but I'm really fed up of building for now, its taking me so long to get anywhere

[clever jewel]

Did you not see the "moats of wolves"? lol

It's almost as good as sharks with laser beams. lol

@arctic swift What are we waiting on the devs for?

[merry pebble]

They did announce that there will be none this december

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I saw that announcement in the FB group.

[merry pebble]

It was also on instagram and i believe its pinned in general here too 🙂

[fossil delta]

It is, just looked.

[heady parcel]

Awright, so now I have the perfect foundation for an ashlands base - putrid hole in the basement, raised ground out of reach of blobs. So, what to fricking BUILD on this platform?!?!? 😄

Used half a mountain's worth of stone to raise buffer walls around this place

blobs can go poof as much as they want, fudge em

I get all cocky feeling I own the place, then I see a warrior stomping at me all aflame with two brilliant stars and I go squealing back into hiding

Burnt through half a stack of frost arrows killing that thing

[hasty geyser]

I was on my friends server and we were crushing the swamp, then we found a 2* draugr elite lmao

[heady parcel]

Those buggers are a reality check for sure, goddamn. Deffo the warriors of the swamp biome.

[merry pebble]

Ooof, fortunately those are quite rare 😄

[fossil delta]

Its the only thing that has made me glad for the Flametal Tower Shield. I can block those.

[heady parcel]

Sadly, as my luck would have it my very first contact with a draugr elite in Valheim was at my first draugr village, where I was skipping along in my troll suit and saw this one-armed git with two stars glowering at me - "pffft, what can it do?". Well, as it happens it could oneshot me through my block. Ooops...

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they are tough. I am glad they are so rare now a days.

[hasty geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202320491377856512 Is this enough for bonemass?

[merry pebble]

You should be quite alright 🙂

[fossil delta]

Yep.

[hasty geyser]

Lets goo

[keen sierra]

what monstority you're talking about?

[molten hamlet]

anything official or otherwise on 1.0? Been a year since my last full playthrough, but the group I play with wants to wait for 1.0 release

[keen sierra]

wait for 2026

[heady parcel]

Yes you are. Keep that poison resist up, pop health potions when the poison gets you low anyway and just bonk away on that fucker with the mace.

[merry pebble]

Only info we have is "not in 2025" which will be relevant only for a tiny bit longer. Other than that, we have nothing.

[fossil delta]

the 2 star draugr elite.

[hasty geyser]

I have never had near to 192 health so im feeling good lol

[keen sierra]

Damn.

abomination for me i guess...

[fossil delta]

Abominations are easier to get away from.

[molten hamlet]

For enough guys, thanks for the info. Hopefully 1st quarter 2026 based on the timing of other major releases, but I know they may need more time to polish this one up.

[fossil delta]

Draugr can follow you more places, easier.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, Smiffe said as much some hours ago.

[keen sierra]

yeah, they're still as annoying as fuck and it's basically everywhere is my anicent old server.

[heady parcel]

Abominatinons are slow and predictable, elites just run at you and swing away, horrible cOOnts they are

[keen sierra]

(it's annoying for early swamp stage)

[hasty geyser]

Well bonesmass is dead 😄

[heady parcel]

There ye go, overprepping is the way!!!!

[hasty geyser]

Yeah i could just take any hits

[fossil delta]

When your properly prepared, etc... most boss fights are 2 to 3 minutes.

[ivory lantern]

I got a bow with fire arrows and shot a bunch of deer

[hasty geyser]

Now do i spent 20 hours figuring out my roof or go into the mountains

[fossil delta]

Mountains after swamp.

[heady parcel]

Valheim is wonderful in the way it lets pure mathematics decide the outcome if you're to lazy to take precautions or try to avoid damage...

Soooo many players struggle against Bonemass

[keen sierra]

hey y'all, just head up. Today, I finally defeated seventh and final boss today, stopping our long journey for now.

[fossil delta]

Why would a roof be that hard to figure out?

[ivory lantern]

wait does your progress get wiped after 1.0 like some other EA games?

[fossil delta]

No.

[clear hazel]

I'm about to fight Moder soon

[hasty geyser]

I've been struggling making my first stone base, I made it too big, it needs lots of resources lol

[keen sierra]

Nein, they're made by small team from sweden, not any EA games.

[fossil delta]

She can take a while due to her flying. Or not long at all if she gets stuck. 😄

[clear hazel]

I'm bringing 2 bows and plenty of arrows.

[heady parcel]

No. But I will definitely start from scratch on a new world anyway, because that is the way

[clear hazel]

I considered whether to place a few bonfires around

[heady parcel]

And heck knows what kind of surprises they will throw in to bamboozle us old-timers

[fossil delta]

She usually wastes time destroying such things, so if you want her to be distracted....

[clear hazel]

I hear the dark forest is unBEARable

[keen sierra]

(no pun, dude)

spinebreaker bow have pun in...

[ivory lantern]

oh, so Microsoft?

[keen sierra]

no confirmation for me.

[heady parcel]

There's two ways to read EA around here . One - EA = Early Access, Valheim's publishing form

The other being a company that has not produced anything worth money in a very long time

[keen sierra]

studios/company i know helped small team is coffee stain studio for helping publishing geme.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they are IG's publisher.

[ivory lantern]

Jedi Survivor was good I hear?

[ivory lantern]

yeah yeah

[fossil delta]

IG being Iron Gate, which created Valheim. Hopefully many more good games to come.

[keen sierra]

(by the way, i love deep rock galactic and satisfactory)

[keen sierra]

Ah i remember this.

[heady parcel]

I have no idea, the only EA game I have played in years is the football game, which is good - but their way of monetising it is infuriating

[keen sierra]

well, honestly EA is kind of biggest traitor company for me...

[fossil delta]

Survivor looks good, but I have yet to play it. Same with Satisfactory.

[keen sierra]

(kind of)

[keen sierra]

what survivor game?

oh, jedi survivor myst talked?

ah

Hey y'all, honestly EA is kind of biggest traitor company for me, kind of.. because they often lost focus on game and move on, even discontiung game. Remember spore game? it's nostgia game that is almost dead for many year.... it was my childhood favorite game.

yeah, they fucking abandoned game after something game release in 2011

[heady parcel]

Well, thankfully Valheim has little or no relation to that company.

[keen sierra]

Yup!

[hasty geyser]

Im guessing i dont want to go in this mountain cave yet?

[keen sierra]

you can as long as you survives wolf attack

[fossil delta]

Unfortunately companies have to move on. They live by profits, not by fandom love of a game they buy once. Even IG will move on from Valheim.

[keen sierra]

Exactly, which i hates most, i hate the feeling that they abandoning my childhood favorite game (spore).

[heady parcel]

If by mountain cave you mean a "Frost Cave" and you are still basically in the Black Forest progressionwise, it is probably best to not go deep in there, or you might need to simply make replacements.

[hasty geyser]

I'll leave it for now, i was trying to find a bit of silver but no luck

[fossil delta]

I prefer to not go into them until I can make Fire meads.

[heady parcel]

No silver in caves, silver veins are always out on the sheer mountain

[fossil delta]

Besides, the caves have never had silver in them. You can get other metals, though.

[keen sierra]

well.... but i'm okay with game being abandoned as long as they're finished with story or something like this. Raft for example.

[hasty geyser]

Yeah I mean I was looking around the mountain for silver but 10 mins and couldnt detect any

[keen sierra]

i kinda miss them but story is finished for good.

[heady parcel]

You can find a few metal bars (iron, bronze) by smashing shit in the caves, but never silver

[fossil delta]

You did equip the wishbone, right?

[hasty geyser]

yeah

[fossil delta]

Good. Unfortunately silver isn't every where, it can be hard to find even with the bone.

Since your mountain has a cave, silver is some where.

Just usually higher than the caves are.

[hasty geyser]

It's all good I just wanted to get more use out of my serpent food, I'll go back to working on the base for a bit. Does anyone know the cheapest way to support a large stone roof? Iron floor or iron beams

[fossil delta]

Probably the beams. How high is your structure? I can use core wood beams for 4 levels.

[hasty geyser]

Im thinking more like having no (or few) pillars

[fossil delta]

I embed the core wood into my walls, usually. Again depending on how large the foot print is.

Just make sure they go to ground too.

[hasty geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202303747053846608 Its in there

[fossil delta]

Your going to have to do some columns. Thats still short enough using core wood in the walls will help.

[paper marsh]

It doesn’t make it easier either that there’s a big outrage over paying for additional content a lot of the time

Imagine if Deep North was a paid expansion

[keen sierra]

definitely EA thing!

EA is addicted to making overpriced game with alots paid expansion

[near furnace]

I would write a bad review if that was the case 😄

[light moat]

And they put an un removable ad for it it while you’re in your inventory

[heady parcel]

Hear, hear!

[short gale]

Just got me Galdr table yo

[heady parcel]

Great! Then just make the cape and dismantle the crap!

😉

[paper marsh]

Ive come to realize that people really like the mistlands cape

[heady parcel]

I liked it a lot in the mistlands, after that I

am just waiting for something that is enough of an improvement to dethrone it. Not found one yet...

[nocturne wolf]

unless deep north has feather cape 2 that might never happen

0m/s fall speed limit

[paper marsh]

Mistlands cape is pretty goated in mistlands. In Ashlands I feel Ask cape competes very well, and ashen cape is an alright competitor as well

[heady parcel]

Ask cape is nice, and one I will use if I can just get accustomed to NOT being able to jump off mountains at will.

The other Ashlands cape has this absolutely ridiculous collar on it that I simply can't bring myself to use. Just not possible, too ugly

[nocturne wolf]

with any cape other than feather we take fall damage with lightfoot mead

[paper marsh]

Thats the thing for me tho. Outside of mistlands and mountains there isn’t that much elevation

(Though I personally don’t tend to develop the death inducing jump off of stuff habits)

[nocturne wolf]

feather cape isn't just for elevation though

less jump stamina, more horizontal distance covered in a jump, no fall damage with lightfoot

[paper marsh]

No it’s for sure good for height, stamina, and extending jumps

[heady parcel]

Half of the feather capes brilliance is FINDING elevation to glide away from danger

[paper marsh]

Was supposed to reply initial comment to Derleth jumping off mountains

[paper marsh]

Catapult, anyone?

Catapult launching is very fun I’ll say

[heady parcel]

Never even built one, never seen the use case

[nocturne wolf]

catapult into deep north when it releases

[heady parcel]

I'd prefer to go on boat, thankyouverymuch

[paper marsh]

Feather cape seems very nice for mages

[nocturne wolf]

the wind is never against you with a catapult

[keen sierra]

best way to start first deep north landing event!

[nocturne wolf]

feather cape is nice for everyone

[heady parcel]

Don't bring logic into hysteria!

[keen sierra]

Damn, everything that legendary wizard says is true

-# i wish i chould do this

[lone rampart]

😭 So I died again trying to retrieve my first tomb. THAT tomb vanished as well and it was nowhere near a crypt. Reverted to a save from 3 days ago, and still nothing

[nocturne wolf]

graves aren't supposed to disappear. are you closing the game immediately after dying?

[keen sierra]

first tomb? you mean you actually dying for first time in run you're in?

[heady parcel]

Wait, what? You lost your stuff even though you found the grave?

[merry pebble]

Did you revert your world save or character save? If you do character save you could go far enough where you have the items that would be in that grave

[lone rampart]

The first tomb since having this issue. I thought maybe it was because I diied on top of a sunken crypt. The tombs were marked on the map, but nothing existed in the game. No, I played for a bit after dying, and reverted both character and world

[keen sierra]

well, i got little confused, which tomb you're referring to?

[keen sierra]

top of sunken crypt extiorer or INTERAL?

[short gale]

Wahoo Im finally a magic man!

[keen sierra]

then be magic man for million years :)

[short gale]

Im whippin fire ballz! Wahoooo

[keen sierra]

yeah

DnD song, "I cast fireball"

[merry pebble]

Is that the one by one shot bards?

Nono, they are 2 different things, the one by one shot bards is a parody on firework

Hey hey everyone
Looking for a buddy with a mic to play with
250+ hrs on steam, never actually got to ashlands since my buddy who I played with got in jail
No dedicated server, only upon me being online
Playtime usually PST 16:30-20:00

[merry pebble]

You can look for people to play with in #1024264966712340510 or you can also make your own post in there 😄

[fossil delta]

Whooot! Size 4 Pike, skill 8 fishing!

[solar plaza]

I get how you are supposed to fish, but does anyone just struggle stamina wise reeling in the 3+4 stars from higher lvl areas? It feels like sometimes the only way to reel em in is by walking em on the beach.

[paper marsh]

Been a while since I did much fishing, but I feel like 3/4 stars are okay on a short line, triple stamina, and a stamina potion

[clear hazel]

I've defeated Moder. That took almost 30 minutes and nearly died twice.

[fossil delta]

I'd tell you how I did it, but I tried, and was given a 10 minute time out. I have no idea which term earned it, so I'm not going to try to repeat it.

I will say I only did it with 1 stamina food and no meads.

[solar plaza]

Fair nuff, I can get pike without too much difficulty, but as soon as I start hitting pufferfish/anglerfish it seems like the stamina drain doubles if not tripples compared to that of a pike.

Not complaining about the difficulty btw, I'm probably just incompetent when it comes to high star later game fishing

[fossil delta]

It does get more difficult with the later fish, but my trick works with them as well. So I don't need more stamina foods or meads to catch them.

Despite my skill never reaching 40.

Generally the highest stamina food from my current highest tier biome is enough.

[full frost]

They should add a feature to the game where, if you're naked, you can kick enemies in the balls to stagger them and get away. Whats ya'lls opinion on this?

[placid delta]

They have a kick feature already .. its the unarmed secondary attack

[placid delta]

and it does 6x to staggering
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Fists

[paper marsh]

Yeah sounds pretty much like how the game is rn

[full frost]

Yeah, but like if you're trying to go get your stuff in the plains and running naked, it adds an additional buff so you can kick a fulling to get away.

Like a savior move, hard to land but quite nice.

[placid delta]

thats there .. already .. just without a buff.
Hard to land but quite nice -- higher your skill, little bit easier to land

[paper marsh]

Staggering a fuling with the kick may be near impossible (unless you really try for it, like easy difficulty or vile bear set or something), but you can very easily stagger a greydwarf with it. Makes sense that you won't be able to use a naked kick to stagger mid-late biome creatures tho

[earnest dust]

if anyone's interested in a good Valhiem series to binge check out self promotion, not my content but the dudes series is so binge worthy, in my opinion one of if not the best valhiem series I have watched.

[heady parcel]

Is there any way to deduct how much stone I have picked up in my character's life? I tried /stats but couldn't make sense of the info, doesn't seem accurate at all

[winter jungle]

Like the normal stone you find on the ground or stone you mined

[winter jungle]

Sure

[heady parcel]

All sources really, I'm just curious how much stone I have used in total, after a number of large stone buildings, fortifications and terraforming I'm thinking it's adding up to silly amounts

I once thought the mountains of stone stacks I had after mining copper and silver would last forever, oh such naïveté...

[plush umbra]

guys are troll leather useful outside of armor?

[winter jungle]

It's used in two other crafting recipes

[steel mica]

and 1 building piece

[winter jungle]

Ancient bark spear and horn of celebration

Which both kinda useless ngl

[tacit crystal]

Spear is nice weapon and AB spear looks great.

Troll leather is required for barber station too.

[winter jungle]

Not really that good in the swamp also it's kinda expensive to make and upgrade compared to other spears

[snow aurora]

The demolisher should've had additional lightning damage imo. Would've been cooler than the himminafl

[glossy heath]

blasphemy
though i couldn't say no to saving the concept of a lightning polearm for a later biome, where it'll have higher stats :>

[flint meteor]

hello where can I write to find a team

[glossy heath]

#1024264966712340510

[flint meteor]

thank you great guy

[snow aurora]

I hate traversing the mistlands solo, it's scary asf but the feather cape makes it so much easier

[hasty geyser]

Im using so much stone to avoid using iron supports lmao

[paper marsh]

Bark spear is pretty good. A lot of people go mace for swamp which is fairly slow swinging, medium damage, and often ends up splitting damage on walls while in crypts

Having a (very cheap to make) alternative that does high damage, doesnt end up splitting damage, and attacks very fast can be very handy

Not to mention it’s great for starting out mountains too

Unless you’re asatru that only needs fists in mountains

[tacit crystal]

Spears in general are very versatile weapon. Fast in close combat and ranged option when thrown and will not require more ammo unless you have one unfortunate miss.

[polar mulch]

I don't think spears would be as good in mountains because if you miss your throw it will basically be lost

[pliant hatch]

You will most likely need iron supports at some point anyway, as the stone in itself isn't strong enough to support high rising buildings. Not even when you're using stone colomns to support floors.

[tacit crystal]

I rarely miss.

[lone rampart]

I did this on my first (I think?) play through. Launched a spear at a drake...never saw it again 😅

[tacit crystal]

I played one playthrough with 2h weapons (battleaxes, sledges, atgeirs, 2h swords) and spear for only ranged option.

[pliant hatch]

Be glad Valheim is using a flat earth principle.
Otherwise you would have to look over your shoulder all the time to make sure it doesn't hit you in the back.

[paper marsh]

It takes some getting used to against drakes. At least if you’ve never used them before

But against wolves the risk of losing your spear is pretty low unless you really decide to throw it in the worst spot

Oh also another point I forgot to mention: Even if you haven’t used spears up until swamp, they level (I think more than 2x as fast?) much faster than maces, so you’ll quickly get some spear skill going

[lone rampart]

I mean...flat or spherical, there's a lititle thing called gravity to prevent that

[pliant hatch]

It's a game!

Anything is possible.

Even spears flying on endlessly.

[winter jungle]

the spears are good but not the bark spear , it does pierce damage which easily replaced by any bow and if u really wanted a melee pierce weapons then go for artiger it second attack does stun most things that can be stunned in the swamp , and it's very easy replaceable with the fang spear ( the silver spear ) which is very easy to craft with only 2 silver and can be easily maxed too with 14 silver total , while for acient bark spear you need 10 iron to craft it and 30 iron bar in total to max it out , would worth ues that iron for anything else than spear that will be replaced by much cheaper and stronger version

[hasty geyser]

Just use pickaxe

[winter jungle]

i don't like two handed weapons

excpet those big swords maybe

[nocturne wolf]

not even fishing rod?

[hasty geyser]

When i'm farming stone and a greydwarf comes to say hi, he gets a pickaxe to the face

[nocturne wolf]

when are fishing rods and pickaxes getting separate combat and tool skills like axes

[winter jungle]

but that's a tool

[nocturne wolf]

it can deal damage

[winter jungle]

really ? how

i never bothered to test

[nocturne wolf]

by hitting things with the projectile

[winter jungle]

can it hock stuff like that one in mc ?

[nocturne wolf]

no, you only damage things

use the harpoon if you want to pull creatures

[hasty geyser]

Just been laying down all my stone walls and I've made it 1 block too short on one side 😭

[short gale]

My parrying problem has been solved! My right click mouse button is shot lol. Doesnt stay pressed

[paper marsh]

Can't argue that bark is better than fang, because fang is pretty damn good (especially as it doesn't split its damage into spirit). But I still quite like bark spears

I agree that often time the ranged capabilities of spears are overshadowed by bows, but going on no-bow runs recently I've actually come to realize how good their ranged attack is too. Oneshotting drakes and wolves and not having to refill ammo feels nice (though I still think where they really shine is in melee combat)

They're just not good for pierce resist bosses like bonemass or yag, or tanky pierce resist mobs like stone golem. Stuff like blobs and skellies they take care of easily tho

[nocturne wolf]

Other silver weapons don't split damage into spirit, they have expected stats for the tier + extra spirit damage

1h swords gain 20 damage in each biome. Silver sword has 20 more slash than iron sword and 30 spirit damage on top

[paper marsh]

Interesting. Maybe I'm just underwhelmed by swords/maces and rarely ever made the silver arrows and knife

[nocturne wolf]

silver sword is so good

[paper marsh]

The battleaxe felt decent

[nocturne wolf]

more damage than mistwalker against charred and valkyries, and stronger than black metal weapons against yagluth

[paper marsh]

I've only ever used it for yag, geirhaffa, and ashlands, and that was like one

It was nice for those purposes tho

But that's because of the spirit. Never tried them for pure slash

I really liked it in ashlands. My new favorite despite the non-existent stagger it has

[nocturne wolf]

It's better stagger than frostner at least

[paper marsh]

Ah yes Frostner, the stagger weapon type that can't stagger anything

[short gale]

Fr I never understood frostner hype. Shes not my type fr

[winter jungle]

i use frostner to make distance between me and other creatures tbh + free damage if enemis you attacked are wet with many seekers and fulings are

[paper marsh]

Maces do two things. 1. Stagger, 2. Create distance (usually through knockback, in frostners case also by freezing them)

I love the first function of maces and absolutely hate the second one, which is why frostner is not for me. Frostner gives up on stagger in order to be able to give a lot more distance

[winter jungle]

stagger is the amount of time enemies stayed stunned after a perry right ?

[nocturne wolf]

That stunned state is called being staggered, but stagger is also a value increased by taking physical or lightning damage that can stagger a creature when it's raised beyond a percentage of their maximum health. When you take damage and see the red bar next to your character, that's your current stagger value.

Some player attacks like mace/polearm secondary and battleaxe primary have stagger multipliers to increase this faster without dealing more damage

[quartz geode]

Hi everyone, is there a mod that lets you tame Bjorn the bear?

[paper marsh]

Probably yeah. I think there's a mod that lets you tame any creature

Ask google or #mods-discussion though

[short gale]

Destroyed maypole - cant rebuild 🙁

[tacit crystal]

And each upgrade adds 5 spirit, so total of 45 spirit at quality 4.

[candid basalt]

You can in six months!

[solar plaza]

Yup, just a matter of time. In the meantime, place your yule tree where you'll feel fine leaving it till next year

[magic vapor]

how do you get the recipe for the christmas tree

[candid basalt]

Fir cone and wood

Also can make a frame and make large Yule trees too #screenshots message

[slate flume]

Should I build myself a base in the swamp lol?

[steel mica]

Yes

[tacit crystal]

If you feel like it. Many people make tree houses in the large trees.

[steel mica]

But not a base rather an outpost

But up to you if you want it fleshed out

[tacit crystal]

There were some quite cool looking buildings created in swamps area in BotW few months back.

[candid basalt]

Swamp bases can be neat. Especially with green torches

[fallow schooner]

One of my boars fought valiantly, died a true warrior death. His name was Thor. I hope he found his way to valhalla. He took out at least 3 greydwarfs before they finally got him, he was the last boar standing too.

[steel mica]

To make it look good requires a ton of resources, especially iron if you plan to make it big

[fallow schooner]

Can we tame a bear somehow? Rus Vikings domesticated bears.

[candid basalt]

No

[tacit crystal]

Bears are not tamable.

They can eat blueberries on ground tho.

[zenith mist]

hey there

any tips for a newbie of valhiem to progress faster?

[polar mulch]

How far through is newbie? Have you killed the first boss?

[zenith mist]

thy is on the iron age with no iron weapons

inly armour that is level 2

and a iron bow n a iron shield

[polar mulch]

I have just gotten to the same point as you

[zenith mist]

yoo wanna play together?

[polar mulch]

Can't atm

[zenith mist]

not now

[polar mulch]

On holiday

[zenith mist]

later anytime

[polar mulch]

I am playing through with my friend

[zenith mist]

ahh nice

can i join your world?

[polar mulch]

Not for a while and I would have to ask my friend

I will get back to you at some point

[zenith mist]

alr np

[solar plaza]

I suppose my question is progress faster how?

[polar mulch]

I found a solid functional base helped me progress

And a good portal system

[zenith mist]

uhh like what are the quickest ways to gather and transfer resources

[polar mulch]

Portals and the best tool you can get

[zenith mist]

like ores

[polar mulch]

Carts

[oak river]

Boat

[pliant hatch]

Resource modifiers adjustmens help too.

[polar mulch]

You cAn take the most

[zenith mist]

uk iron n stuff cant be transported through portals

[solar plaza]

Ore wise, best use a boat imo

[oak river]

You just gotta use a boat

[zenith mist]

my base is hella far from a swamp

[polar mulch]

If it's kinda close use carts and if it's far use boat

[oak river]

I would setup a forge and smelter at the swamp your mining from

So you can make some iron gear without boating it home

[polar mulch]

You can break the cart and it will drop all recourses

[zenith mist]

iron bars can be taken through a portal?

[polar mulch]

No

[solar plaza]

If it's flat too, too heavy a cart can make hauling ut a pain

[zenith mist]

despawn

[zenith mist]

yea

[polar mulch]

I am currently in the process of creating a massive trade route to and from my swamp

The terrain is relatively flat

And the steep bits I carve through

With pickaxe

[solar plaza]
