Technically that's 3 onions

Here's a 100 onions, but technically 200 cause 2x drop rate

"Never mind me, just out for a swim"

[hard ingot]

so uh, houston we got a problem

there is in fact 2 seeker soldiers, and they just knocked me off the stair twice, breaking structures in the meantime which drops marble

[frail fractal]

if the stairs collapse, you won't get out 😸

[hard ingot]

stairs dont collapse, and i can jump

[native elbow]

finally got a blood magic farm setup, needs improvement but it works

[idle matrix]

Fear…

[median mason]

7 deaths, 6 ice golems, 10+ drakes and i even had a game freeze when they where at ~20% so had to start from ~70% again, but finally

[median mason]

going to sleep, but can someone ping me a lox being ridden screenshot, just saw the saddle in my newest unlocks.....

[hushed imp]

what tf is this thing?

[runic cloak]

Odin

(And a couple necks)

[ember wasp]

that is just your friendly neighbourhood Odin 😄

[regal oxide]

wolves will just doggy paddle forever

[stuck harbor]

[hushed imp]

what is this underwater spiral building?

[blissful folio]

sunken well, they also exist in the mountains, the swamp ones just have draugr but the mountains ones can have a chest at the bottom (and no water)

[glass dagger]

Indeed, 1 is enough to regrow without finding more seeds...

Also I failed to notice but I had 1 beat left, apparently I had cooked all the rest and didn't have seeds.

So I'm starting both crops over from scratch...

[hushed imp]

took a couple deaths but i successfully stole 2 pieces of barley to start my own farm

[burnt flame]

Can we increase the serpent trophy drop rate? this is the entire loot stash I got before a SINGLE trophy drop.

(Trying to get the fishing hat)

[hushed imp]

ffs i just lost all my hardwork stealing these barley by not planting them in the right biome

[hushed imp]

why are your weapons glowing? is that a mod or vanilla

[solemn hare]

that's a mod

I just barely spotted this little guy

[burnt flame]

[solemn hare]

opa mb then. The vegvisir was the focus anyway

[molten jasper]

What luck.

[agile juniper]

I killed 200+ dwarves trying to get 1 trophy... but I got 2 in a row when I was just building in the mistlands and two seeker killed two of them next to a spawner I have locked them to be part of the city later (

[river rivet]

moder's dead

[runic cloak]

oof unlucky

[rancid yew]

It's a 1 in 3 chance you just got really unlucky on your hunt

[crude wasp]

decided to start on a biiiiiiiiig castle on an island, already regret it cause i have no idea what to do for tower placement

[still charm]

Bro. Try set on Lox vs Abomination. Its alwasy 50/50

[patent slate]

Why does it look like that?

[frail fractal]

build three towers next to each other inside, each higher than the previous one, and connect them with a passage in the middle 😼

[crude wasp]

The island? or the castle, island is manmade, castle well i wanted a circle its the easiest to work with

[crude wasp]

sounds good honestly

[frail fractal]

three circles in a circle of walls, it will look cool and unusual 😼 👍

[crude wasp]

you mean like, 3 floored / tiered going higher every time?

[frail fractal]

and so that the wall of the inner tower starts directly from the outer wall 😺

[frail fractal]

no, build three towers inside, of the same diameter, but of different heights, so that the three circles of their base fit into the circle of the main wall 😼

[crude wasp]

I'd love to but 2 circles was enough to fry my brain, just to get them perfect

[honest sedge]

devcommands to make a big flat area, and the settings are turned down to sub-potato

[crude wasp]

oh right i forgot about the fact that my game looks like potato, since its not finished i didnt bother turning settings up

[patent slate]

Also with devcommands? Didn't think you could change them with commands

[crude wasp]

I did use a mod but i imagine there is probably a command for that too? I have the heightmap limit changed, and the "dirtyhoe" mod that just has a more powerful version of the hoe

[honest sedge]

I think you can spawn areas like the Draugr village and that gives you big flat pregenerated terrain. But mods are probably easier.

[hard ingot]

seems like brenner is busy doing anything over there rather than coming for a fight

[crude wasp]

trying to think up how to spice up the battlements aka top of the walls, however idk if the wooden ones mesh well with the whole stone fortress vibe ive got going here

[digital lynx]

Hmm the graphics being turned down so low make it kinda hard to tell, but maybe try staggering your stone walls so the edges don’t line up? Make it like a brick wall, that always works well.

[crude wasp]

well, there is a reason I've used the biggest sized walls, and didnt alternate them like a brickwall either, and its performance id have to weave in quite a few smaller ones to complete the circle im trying to just go bare minimum

[long path]

BTW lowest quality doesn't look so awfully as i thought

[crude wasp]

yeah considering the last pic i sent is on highest settings the game just looks a lot weirder cause there is no vegetation and particle effects or weather around

[runic cloak]

I thought I was playing on some of the lowest settings but I may have to recheck that, because my game looks miles better than that

[crude wasp]

for comparison this is my lowest settings in an actual forest

[runic cloak]

Ah looks a bit better with vegetation around the place

[digital lynx]

I really like your entrance by the way! In my experience, most builds really start to stand out with some exterior design going on. I know you’re working with a lot of flat land, but maybe plant some trees around? Have some small farming shacks and farmland around it? That very well could be something you’re planning on adding towards the end though.

[crude wasp]

here is highest (i still might have a mod that changes some values)

[crude wasp]

Yes, im working on the general shape so far, details go in the end for me otherwise id never finish this, gotta do things step by step

[honest sedge]

Your lighting and all still looks off, everything is super flat. Do you have all shadows and point lights off or something?

[crude wasp]

as i said, might have a mod that changes some values, which is probably that

I don't know nor do I care much, i barely run 60 fps in combat on these potato settings, i wonder if its all the particles killing my pc or something else

[honest sedge]

We can chat about it in #valheim-help if you want to see if there's anything you can do, but "barely 60 fps" is pretty decent for Valheim in general. This isn't COD.

[crude wasp]

as i said, i get barely 60 fps on lowest possible settings, so id say its not really decent

[patent slate]

Instead of lowering everything to sub-low. Use the render scale.

I have it at 25% and it made a big performance increase (native and 100% are the default values)

[crude wasp]

redid the entrance, looks a bit better with lighting for sure

[digital lynx]

Nice!!

[exotic knoll]

What enemy was this one again? One of the hildir update ones?

[runic cloak]

Yes, first Hildr boss

[exotic knoll]

Aah, got it.

[crude wasp]

major evil vibes

[drowsy vapor]

I wish you could push the graphics that low on the xbox one, but it doesn't have the same options. Like there's always tall grass no matter how low you put the graphics and it's bothersome lol makes finding stuff on the ground a hassle sometimes

[crude wasp]

yeah even if I had a better pc i'd still probably play on such low graphics 70% of the time, my eyesight is really bad, while i enjoy the atmosphere of the game on max graphics its sometimes too straining to look for enemies or other things of interest

[drowsy vapor]

My eyesight is quite good still, somehow and it doesn't help 😅 lol oh well

[boreal shale]

oh I see, thanks. Thats hell a way to go 😄

[runic cloak]

you usually have to sail to it. You're able to walk to it if you want!

also damn why does your map have so many enclosed lake areas

[hard ingot]

well well well

[drowsy vapor]

How the turntables

[hard ingot]

wooo

[cloud sorrel]

I consistently run over 120 fps on max settings, what are u talking about lol?

[lucid sand]

The point was that 60fps is pretty good for Valheim.

[fringe bramble]

I've been working through a lot of settings trying to figure out how to reduce load on my GPU. Limiting frame rate to 50ish helped, but reducing render scale seems to have helped more.

[honest sedge]

Render scale is the #1 optimization for Valheim. Shadows and point lights are close behind.

[hushed imp]

finally found this mf. I was about to lose my mind after spending hours sailing the ocean looking for him

[cloud sorrel]

I know... That's why I said how do u figure 60 fps is "pretty good" for valheim when it's very easy to run above that.

[lucid sand]

Because it's true. Just because YOU can run it higher doesn't make it expected behaviour.

[cloud sorrel]

I've seen it run on rigs with lower end specs like a 2070 super and there was almost never an issue until you reached like 8-10k instances. Is the game really that hard to run?

[hard ingot]

ooh gjall, imma draw it to the settlement

[hushed imp]

just now @dense fiber

[dense fiber]

mf is so easy to kill lmao

[hushed imp]

hes going after my boat now lol

[runic cloak]

Luck must be smiling on me tonight. So far on this server I've only seen one leviathan, despite being fully mistlands kitted and having to sail everywhere (no portals). Today, I decided to go find Ashlands (ended up only being a 10-15 min sail from my base) and somehow end up finding FOUR leviathans, and then I try to mine one of them and I get every single barnacle without it sinking, so now its just a naked leviathan. Never had that happen before

Granted my pickaxe did take out barnacles in one hit

[molten jasper]

Interesting battle.

[cold carbon]

same on series x it lowers but not the same as steam

[drowsy vapor]

Yeh i started saving for a computer, but good ones aren't cheap lol so it'll be a while yet

[river rivet]

yagluth dies later today

[quiet obsidian]

my guy has been here for bout 3 days aproximately

[cold carbon]

I hear that 👍

[quiet obsidian]

me and the gang

[tame estuary]

For me normal gameplay runs similarly to elden ring, which given how the two games look is not great, but hey, I don't need more.

Turn up settings and put a lot of lights in a decorated room, and it becomes baaad.

[river rivet]

man i really love the look of frost caves

[quiet obsidian]

no i use it for fulings if they have stars or if theres too many (theres a bunch of leeches there)

all this and one serpent

mountains soon :)

[river rivet]

good luck

[quiet obsidian]

thanks ill need it

[frail fractal]

Do not take more than three anti-freeze potions with you, because after death you will have nothing to go to the mountains with to collect the corpse 😸

[quiet obsidian]

nono i made like 50, because i got a brother and dad too

[frail fractal]

you will walk among the icy graves to the top, like the conqueror of Everest 😹

and remember, there should always be a fire between you and the mountain when you’re on vacation, it will protect you from frost and creatures of the night 😸

[river rivet]

watch out for the wolves the most, if they hit you once its over

[quiet obsidian]

cant i just roll dodge into it

[river rivet]

you can but if they hit you they stagger you and they attack very quickly

[quiet obsidian]

can i stagger them with lvl 47 blocking and iron buckler lvl 2?

[river rivet]

oh for sure

[quiet obsidian]

ah thanks

[cloud sorrel]

What fps do you get? Elden ring is locked at 60

[dense fiber]

any design ideas? or changes to the building i should make?

[digital lynx]

Personally I would add beams to detail and trim that underpass. Maybe add some of those 26 degrees walls to round out the angles.

[dense fiber]

gotcha ill try it out
also wdym by trim?

[digital lynx]

Kinda like a baseboard or crowning, basically a lining of wood beams at the bottom of the wall so you have a smoother bottom. Wooden beams are really good for decorating!

[honest sedge]

I popped a base tour video of my most recent stuff in the #memes-and-clips channel yesterday, sometimes I find looking at other people's builds and such gives me inspiration

[dense fiber]

you play solo? cause god damn

[honest sedge]

Yup. 90% of my playtime is solo.

[dense fiber]

also very nice house and firepit

[river rivet]

yag down

[hushed imp]

what pickaxe?

[runic cloak]

lvl 4 blackmetal and I think 70-80 pickaxe skill

[mighty sandal]

Had similiar situation with iron one. Each hit has a chance to trigger sinking so it's fully possible to strip leviathan without it sinking at all. Especially if You use less hits to mine it.

[runic cloak]

yea just surprised at the luck. I believe it's a 25% chance of sinking per hit

[frail fractal]

died in the mountains? 😸

[dense fiber]

come on man 😭

[dense fiber]

the nearest swamp is miles away wtf are they doing here

[river rivet]

they spawn from the point where swamp could spawn, in meadows

[frail fractal]

@dense fiber😸

[dense fiber]

wtf am i looking at dude remove some markers 😭

[frail fractal]

so that you understand how much you need to mark along the way 😹

[dense fiber]

how did u remove all the markers
and why is ur haldur and hildir so far apart dude wtf
thanks stranded

[rough crater]

Right click the icons on the right side of the map.

[dense fiber]

my haldur and hildir are right next to eachother lmao

[frail fractal]

but I found them 😸

[rough crater]

They both have 10 random potential spawn locations. They can be anywhere from very close together to being on opposite sides of the map. All depends on which potential spawn location you find first for each of them.

[dense fiber]

yeah no i wouldnt have been able to

[frail fractal]

leave gaps between the stones, or seal them with beams? How will be better? 😺

[digital lynx]

Hmm in this case, I think leaving the gaps! Just my opinion.

[honest sedge]

If anything maybe a stone pillar instead of wood beams. I don't think the angles you have to deal with for those beams makes it look better than just the plain stone.

[hard ingot]

this is dark enough for wisp apparently

[frail fractal]

Most likely I won’t seal it at all, it looks more aggressive 😹

[honest sedge]

Rain or nighttime, yup

[hard ingot]

halfway there

it is a longway up and a long way down, and i am out of range from the workbench

[quiet holly]

ah yes the best trap ever designed

`wut da hell??? where the iron comes from

[honest sedge]

The big iron grate that used to be there?

[hard ingot]

i never saw any iron gates tbh, when i reach this floor it is alreayd like this

that is frightening

[frail fractal]

perfect calculation 😸

[ornate lava]

I got a few tame lox. This is not the only plains I have like this

[river rivet]

i always do that do near my base its the best defense system

[runic cloak]

Mine die too quick 😭

[river rivet]

power in numbers

[runic cloak]

Just not good enough unless I want to spend every minute breeding. To be fair tho the odds were stacked against them from the start. Mobs do double damage and raids happen every 20 minutes I’m at base

[velvet wedge]

floating skeleton?

[runic cloak]

Probably frozen in time by the power that silver has on the undead paired with the substantially negative temperatures of the mountain

[dense fiber]

how do it look? - honest rating the image is ass actually let me get a better one

[ornate lava]

as soon as a calf is born I build a wall around it. Once you have enough they will be fine

[runic cloak]

With a flock of 20 they still die pretty frequently tho. Which means I'll have to spend half my time breeding more to face the next raid 20 min later

I do have two walled breeders set up tho

[dense fiber]

this image is better - looks pretty good imo

[sour cave]

If it's true that, 3 of the player base structures are needed to trigger a raid? You could limit the area to just a workbench?

[runic cloak]

could, but that's too much limitation to my base. I do do that sometimes on a lil outpost tho

Anyways, I've started wanting to raids, and am disappointed at how slow they've been coming in. My totem farm won't work itself

[sour cave]

I see. I'll let you cook o7

[minor grove]

old hard server.

[glass otter]

Look cool, id love to see some pictures from inside, i like what you did with the “lower level “ room to the right

[dense fiber]

idk what to do for the inside
ill retake the pics once the weather clears up

Crap weather 🤣

[glass otter]

I would consider several bronze hanging torches Inside and outside

no resin im out of it 😭

how do you get resin from trees?

I forgot Ive unlocked stone buildings now. I gotta start incorporating them into my buildings now too. nice fireplace btw

[dense fiber]

yeah i had to do that too it sucks

I had that happen too lol. Turned him into a ||magic|| skill farm

[hard ingot]

i was looking at dvergr power and wondering what it is, and then fireball started raining

[drowsy vapor]

Never heard of this dvergr power

[runic cloak]

Support dvergr (lantern guys) mage gives it to players and other dvergrs

Not entirely sure if it affects players. I think it gives dvergr a damage buff

[drowsy vapor]

Oh that's cool, I haven't been in a position to receive that from them lol

[velvet wedge]

found the sister on the same island :>

[crude wasp]

slight changes to the project

[velvet wedge]

why does your game look so different?

[crude wasp]

lack of trees and vegetation, unnatural terrain, very low settings, not so viking looking buildings?

[dusty hazel]

SSAO turned off

[crude wasp]

I like to think SSAO isn't the only contributor

[dusty hazel]

It's the main contributor to your grass looking like that imo ^^

[crude wasp]

Or the fact that I am a good 100-300 meters away from it, cause turning SSAO on and off seems to have no effect up close

[velvet wedge]

how do you turn off the fogs?
it actually looks nice, cool retro look

[dusty hazel]

Fog is particle stuff I think?

[crude wasp]

I used the console commands, " env clear "

Here is highest settings up close, i dont notice the difference anymore besides the fog, and lighting effects

[runic cloak]

ngl the game looks really jarring to me without any vegetation

[velvet wedge]

aced the parking

[runic cloak]

Gotta pull the emergency handbrake next time!

[digital lynx]

That would be the perfect screenshot if Odin was in the background

[runic cloak]

[hollow kelp]

@digital lynx Here a picture

[pseudo nexus]

Which trailer is that from?

[drowsy vapor]

I tried to spawn that in on my freebuilding world a while back, but it was glitched lol it had a see-through floor

[hollow kelp]

Yes it spawns like this

I searched that pic up

[drowsy vapor]

Ah lol

[elder geode]

saw Odin again. that's like the third time today!

darn... picture quality is blurry 😂 woops

[hard ingot]

to turn all these troll fish to fish....hard work

[drowsy vapor]

Noice lol I found a tetra pond and picked up a level 4 tetra in my first frost cave this playthrough, it was right by the entrance too, was quite nice. I hung it on my fireplace lol

[elder geode]

that would be a draugr village. first time i went to one i got my ass kicked so hard 😂 damn those elites

[velvet wedge]

Their village was struck by a major landslide, few of them survived, but most were buried 😔

[rose pilot]

these are screenshots. what are you doing? boar farm drops

[crude wasp]

my bedroom 120meters above ground

and the now moved workshop at the bottom of the tower

[honest sedge]

But there's no bed...

[crude wasp]

its behind the throne, im a humble man

Also I finally fixed my graphics completely, I knew something was off (the fpsboost mod didnt get deleted properly last time)
so here is one last pic of my in progress tower but now actually high settings

[agile juniper]

Could you tell me later if any fish ever respawned in that lake? I got a similar one (prob the same) and could get (from fishing) a total of 9/10 (which 4/5 of them I caught outside the cave entrance) Cause my lake, after a few days, never got me more (I caught a lvl 3, tho)

[edgy niche]

I think they take a long time to respawn

[lucid sand]

Fish will always respawn unless you've spawn protected the area.

[signal pivot]

Nightlight tree

[drowsy vapor]

If i remember correctly they do respawn, but I'm not sure of the specifics on dungeon respawns in general. There's easier to get, better fish in the ocean though in my opinion.

[agile juniper]

It was(is) for decoration, at the time I was "chasing" tetra but I could only get those initial one that first spawned, then I spent days nearby, far away, in and out of the cave... nothing seemed to respawn them so I gave up only having a lvl 3 tetra (I have a lvl 5 trollfish and lvl 5 angler) but I gave up on tetra

[drowsy vapor]

Ah i see, well i don't have the fishing pole in this play through, it was just a big fish and I was able to grab it when it surfaced next to me. All the rest were small and it seems like they don't really jump out into the hall like they used to.

[drowsy vapor]

Did have any fire pits campfires or anything in the cave? I've never tested it personally like that, I've just read it and heard it on YouTube before that they respawn.

[burnt flame]

Serpent has been contained

[clever blaze]

first time ever seeing one of these

good catch, but does higher quality anglerfish gives more fish n bred?

Unfortunately no

Been playing since release pretty much and this is iirc the first time ive encountered a Starred Seeker Soldier

[dense fiber]

i cant explain it but it just looks so smooth

yeah dude idk why but the build looks so good in game

[runic cloak]

They’re big softies, give him a hug!

Fr tho they’re fairly common in mistlands. Starred Gjall are the more rare occurrence. You’ll likely see both if you traverse a lot at night tho

[buoyant narwhal]

yeah this Mine had 5 Soldiers including the 1* plus a 2* Seeker, I had to pull out all the big brain strategies to kite everything and not die.

all in all, the loot was not worth fighting for my life. i came out with only 5 cores, which is enough for my refinery but the space that had enough for 5 soldiers i would expect at least 1 secret chamber

[buoyant narwhal]

Starred Gjall are the more rare occurrence.

also WHAT, GJALLS CAN BE STARRED. Just when I was starting to not fear the Mistlands too

[hushed imp]

I have seen 2 star everything except Trolls. When I finally find that guy im taking screenshots 😄

[buoyant narwhal]

Ive only encountered a 2* troll once, im forever on the lookout for those pink bois. Imagine having Pink troll hide armor or just being able to dye your armor in general

[golden ruin]

Those 2 star soldiers are crazy, good luck when you run into that🫨

The seeker 2 star are pink too, very deadly

[buoyant narwhal]

3 roots and a clearing with no mist what so ever, now to just anger the locals or ram a cart into their ward to get their extractors to utilize all 3 roots

[civic frost]

@wintermoonwitch congrats, you are on your way to find out how the Valheim world generation works 👍It is all based on one huge master map, which for the most part defines the layout of the land masses. Your seed then determines, amongst other things, which sub part of the master map will be your world. Works pretty well imo.

[sinful ermine]

I feel betrayed

[civic frost]

Why? You gotta be realistic, in the end computer games are all made up of smoke and mirrors, once you start looking at the nitty gritty details.

[sinful ermine]

You need to be far enough from the world center. Those guys don't spawn within 2km from the world center IIRC

[sinful ermine]

I was expecting it to generate truly random maps the way Sid Meiers Civ does for example

[civic frost]

I don't know the details of how civ does it, but I'd argue that civ has a way easier time of it, since it isn't a 3d game (or at least wasn't when I last looked at it, been a while)

[sinful ermine]

I guess 3d games like Rust utilize more "honest" procedural generation

[golden ruin]

That’s a nice spot for a base

[civic frost]

Dunno about that one either. You do have to take into account the size of the teams behind say Rust compared to Valheim though.

[golden ruin]

Is there a max team limit on Valheim?

[lucid sand]

In what sense?

[hoary zenith]

the island looks like a thumbs up

[buoyant narwhal]

I think the max players are 10 per world, but that might be wrong.

@lucid sand most likely how many people can be in the same server

[lucid sand]

That's what he was asking?

[buoyant narwhal]

yeah i think; "team limit" is just a wack way of phrasing it.

[lucid sand]

I thought the conversation was about dev teams.

[buoyant narwhal]

oh i didnt read that far up til now, disregard lol

thats slightly terrifying, theyre using each other to reach the safty of the entrance platform

[pearl pivot]

Time to teach them a lesson then!

[buoyant narwhal]

still never had the rng for them to drop their head, in all my playthrough

[river rivet]

its very rare

[buoyant narwhal]

Finally got their head

[quiet obsidian]

dang how, no map?

[tender rampart]

2 examples of windows, 1 is shutters and the other one made of crystals (damn it, forgot the 1 minute cooldown)

[quiet obsidian]

okay, haha

[quiet obsidian]

ah okay, so the left one is just clear? just edit something to answer

[tender rampart]

it's shutters, 4 pieces. it can be closed or left open like that. A bit less obvious when it's made of same material. The one on the right has that glass in it, glass cannot be stacked on top of each other so I made that cross shape

[quiet obsidian]

ohh okay i see now, thanks alot ill try them out

[tender rampart]

Nvm seems to be possible, just have to add something above it first if don't want cross shape

[buoyant narwhal]

You just can't build crystal on crystal; but if you hover on the side piece of the frame you can place crystal their.

So with the 2x2 window, placing the bottom 2 on the bottom frame than the top 2 on either the sides or top frame. They just can't be placed on the sides of the crystal wall itself.

[elder geode]

@Lolly pictures of my roundhouse i had in an old world

[regal oxide]

Yeap. I know there are two locations now, since I found another veg while trying to find moder. Still enjoying it.
Ontopic:
These round builds look so nice! ♥️

[quiet obsidian]

ah nice, looks really cool! I think the look im picturing is like stone walls with some kind of window thing, but ill see what i can make

[quiet obsidian]

well vegs can lead to the same boss, right?

[cold carbon]

vegvisirs always point to the closest matching altar, so on nomap, a second vegvisir pointing to a boss location you've already been pointed towards can make sure you're still on the right track.

and there are always way more vegvisirs per boss than there are altars

except on eikthyr, he has 1 vegvisir and 3 altars

[quiet obsidian]

wdym pointing towards?

[cold carbon]

if you have nomap enabled, instead of bringing up the map and showing you their location, vegvisirs slowly turn your camera in the direction of the altar they marked

iirc though, it'll still say "map location already added" if you interact with a vegvisir pointing to a "known" altar, so you might be able to tell if it's a new or known altar that way, at least the very first time you interact with that vegvisir.

[drowsy vapor]

Sounds accurate from my experience

[quiet obsidian]

oohhh okay, thanks makes more sense to me now.

[elder geode]

i actually found my old world which i built the roundhouse in- i recognised my old world by the seed code. so i just took some new screenshots for you lol

[quiet obsidian]

Haha, thanks alot. (remembering by seed is crazy tho)

[elder geode]

@quiet obsidian this is what the interior looked like

[quiet obsidian]

Ooh! Yeah thats something like what i had in mind too! tho i dont really know how id expand it further out, guess thats something to find out for another time haha. (or id just make it big)

[elder geode]

funny story about that 😂 back when i was using val.world seed map generation tool - i had to copy and paste the code into val.world several times because i was comparing with other maps, and using it to see proximity to traders and such. so because of all the copy and pasting - it stuck with me lol 🙂

[quiet obsidian]

Haha, tbh i can recall other situations just like that. Funny enough, i also remember the world i played on a year ago by seed even tho its only on my dads pc

[elder geode]

i also had to send the code to my friends because one time they volunteered to help out - and there was about 4 of them lol. but also logging off to go to my friends's worlds - then logging in again - then logging out to go to sleep and waking up to play valheim - so yeah it got stuck 😂

[quiet obsidian]

Haha sounds like some of a process

[elder geode]

it was 😂 no wonder it got stuck

making the roof tho was not fun 😣 struggled with it a lot lol.

[quiet obsidian]

Ah yeah, thats what im worried about too.

[dusty hazel]

Back on track! Windows are paintings sometimes 🖼️

[velvet wedge]

the beacons are lit, gondor calls for aid

[honest sedge]

You mean the bacon is lit...

[tender rampart]

buried and hidden workbench:

[tender rampart]

I guess I'll have to raise that fence since apparently these lazy loxes know how to climb on top of each other

[dense fiber]

O kurwa! is my alt account name 😂

[dense fiber]

is my moat too deep?
3 of my characters stacked for comparision

[somber ether]

I feel that. We are day 2400 no bonemass

Security System

[patent slate]

At this point I'm so unofficially mistlands-tier that I'm pretty much mistlands-tier

[modest cobalt]

The cairn at the top is such a nice little touch. :>

[hushed imp]

gah dayum why are there so many

how do i get these serpent scales?

[honest sedge]

Jump up as high as you can and hopefully sink far enough into the water to pick them up

If you're close to shore you can build a tower/ladder stack or something that can get you more altitude

[robust light]

Scales sink to the bottom. If you are hunting serpents specifically for the scales, be sure to kite them close to the short / shallow water before delivering the killing blow.

[hushed imp]

got it!

[quiet obsidian]

damn

[robust light]

The last no map run I did, we found bonemass before Elder, lol

[hard ingot]

free range chicken coming up next

[peak carbon]

thats a lot of eggs 😂

[hard ingot]

what riled them up ova there

[honest sedge]

Given the swamp in the distance, I'd say probably a blob, skeleton or a draugr

[drowsy vapor]

Looks like a blob in the dust, maybe. There's something green in there lol

[hushed imp]

these trophies are huge

[quiet obsidian]

my dad got pissed halfway thru (because we forgot to move the portal to the top of the mountain and he kept dying to deathsquitos on his way up), but i managed to pull it down after he left lol

[river rivet]

finally built a house and got some mistlands armor&weapons

[hard ingot]

odin just built different, hit him with harpoon and he doenst flinch

[quiet obsidian]

lmao

[dense fiber]

what are these blue clouds?

[dense fiber]

how does that work?

[river rivet]

just ambience

[hard ingot]

very soon, i can slaughter the free range chicken

i love that the mist actually moves on, this place used to be thich with mist and i cant do mining without getting jumped by seekers

it is super saiyan time 💪

[hushed imp]

is this moat deep enough to defend against raids? part of it is man made and its only neck deep

[honest sedge]

It's deep enough, but enemies can climb the edges. If you can run up the side without jumping then enemies will be able to access it.

[hushed imp]

what if i put spikes? will that knock them back down?

[honest sedge]

Yep, but spikes will take damage when they do damage so don't forget to repair them

[dense fiber]

whats this guy doin

[somber ether]

We found the Queen before bonemass

[peak carbon]

lol progression skip much

[somber ether]

Dig a hole. Bury a bench. Fill the hole most of the way and cap it off with stone. Make sure the bench touches the stone and you can then fully bury it. Enemies don't attack the bench if it's buried, nor do they attack a capstone. Just be sure not to stand over a capstone when defending against a large AOE attack and your security system won't fail. Separate the system by the prescribed amount and it'll fully cover a field whether it's flat or not, then both raise the terrain as high as you can and dig a deep trench on the far side. Anything that dies in the trench will not despawn it's loot

[rose pilot]

Making a chicken farm SUCKED. Way harder than boar, wolf, and lox. Don't even get me started on that 45 degree roof physics with the eggs.

[dense fiber]

ahh ok thanks

[somber ether]

Basically, follow the instructions and your entire secured civilization will prevent monsters from spawnin g in it

[dense fiber]

ah okay i understand now thanks

[somber ether]

Same. We took our stonecutter to the mist and stole hundreds of black marble. We also raided a few dungeons and got just enough cores to build the black forge. So we're rocking lanterns on our city streets before we even found Modor, and scraped together just enough for a couple arbalests

[dense fiber]

gotta climb alla this to get to moder

[quick nacelle]

This might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIDZ46R3QYg&t=65s&ab_channel=TacticalEx

[dense fiber]

am i ready for moder?

[velvet wedge]

no
unless you cheese it

[honest sedge]

Pretty close. I'd suggest the obsidian instead of the wood arrows, and you should at minimum upgrade the Draugr Fang a level or two because you will certainly burn through the durability at level 1

[dense fiber]

yup i did, and i had no feathers to make them so.... yeah a few close calls im still fighting him 😭

[honest sedge]

"Moder" means mother... it's a her 😉

[dense fiber]

a monsters a monster man cmon 😭
man used as slang im not calling u a man

[lucid sand]

You said him, not man.

[dense fiber]

im saying man towards pita

[rose pilot]

That was after I already finished, thanks though. A lot of people got chicken farms wrong on YT and reddit

[hard ingot]

grouper washed ashore, nice

time to get some chickin meat

I thought i have put more eggs than 45

[dense fiber]

aaaaaalll this way to get to moder
i know its not as long as others travel but 30 minutes damn

[runic cloak]

yea that's a bit far. Mighta been faster to run through the first island and then sail from there

[dense fiber]

100% dude i dont know why i ddint think about that, 30 mins sailing back now 😭

[runic cloak]

with eikthyr power you can also sprint through it very fast

and your new fenris armor ;)

[rose pilot]

i think i have a poultry problem

[buoyant narwhal]

holy shit, lucky getting Haldor and Hildir within walking distance

[dense fiber]

i was already told that 😂 3 eikthyrs by spawn and the elder on one island

[runic cloak]

There’s always 3 eikthyrs by spawn and Elder is often on the spawn island, but the Haldor hildr luck is REAL

[dense fiber]

ahhh ok then 😭
i saw someone post a seed just cus there were 3 eikthyrs by spawn thats why i thought it was rare

[burnt flame]

All this exploring and soooo many hours and have been unable to find a single tuna... Is there any biome where they spawn at or I am just still being extremely unlucky?

I have found groups of coral cods and pufferfish for the most part on open sea, pikes and perch at meadows, black forest and plains, giant herrings at swamps, tetras at frost caves, groupers at plains, anglerfish at mistlands, trollfish at balck forest, magma fish and northern salmon at the poles; but for the life of me I can NOT find EVEN. A. SINGLE. TUNA.

[hushed imp]

bruh 24 fps

[river rivet]

i feel the pain

[civic frost]

The only tuna I ever found happened to jump ashore next to my meadows base, not far from some black forest either. Was even a size 5. Looks decorative on my wall.
Did I mention I don't even like fishing?

[buoyant narwhal]

Heavy Bait in the Ocean Biome for tuna, if you haven't gotten it yet.

[hard ingot]

i think tuna can also be catched with normal fishing bait

[tidal barn]

Said I would send screenshots of "Renovating a village for first base and build a wall around it"

Only weird thing I felt I had to do is the big roof for the forge

[sinful ermine]

don't you just love when this happens?

[rapid thorn]

God, yes, exploding ore veins just hits sooooooooo right!

[peak carbon]

good luck killing yagluth without cover :)

[midnight badge]

my crew and I bred around 30 Loxes once and we simply watched them face off Yagluth, didn't need any cover

[plucky zinc]

some images of the deep north I took with my brother before ending a playthrough, I have others but I could only get these ones to load

[sinful ermine]

I constructed my own cover, indestructible

[burnt flame]

See my inv, got the heavy bait and explored too much ocean, but I never see groups of tuna like I do with other fish, also casting the fishing road without fish on sight does nothing

[stark gull]

Screenshots of me, camping overnight in the viking village "yxengaard". I took the jarls house

you need to cut down the mast 😸

This is why we measure twice😭😭

[hushed nymph]

fixed

[rose pilot]

cluck

[hushed imp]

So i mined the entire bottom of this rock but its not crumbinling. its just floating in the air rn

[modest cobalt]

It does that until it's not connected any more. The hitboxes are bigger than the visible bits, so just keep hitting the parts closest to something else until it breaks.

[rough crater]

And it won't necessarily be the pieces that appear closest to the terrain either. It could be a piece with an excessively large hitbox that's connected over a very large gap.

[hushed imp]

i died twice by fall damage trying to chip off the floating pieces so now im just gonna leave this rock alone for now lol

[rough crater]

Yeah, best to place stairs and platforms to reach those for the safest approach.

[tepid musk]

ok i fukin hate this game. I afked and went to the bathroom for a couple mins and when i came back only 1 boar was left alive!!!!!

[wooden compass]

Awesome merchant spawn

[tender rampart]

A simple lox pen design:

[hushed imp]

what wood is that

[stoic patrol]

darkwood

[tender rampart]

does not rot in rain, can also use other materials to make a pen of same shape

to build it, only need to follow this pattern: 8 meters, 2 turns, 8 meters, 2 turns, 8 meters, 2 turns ect. until you've got the full pen, and just replace 1 side with a gate

[hushed imp]

hopefully these two will survive the trip this time

1 of them jumped out and died rip

[north citrus]

I heared its safer to transport boars as babies since they cant walk over the ledge

[stoic patrol]

Mine exploded mid trip last time I took them on the boat

[hushed imp]

thats exactly what happened a couple hours ago to my first ever 1 star boar

[hushed imp]

i might have to try that. But do they still explode though?

[north citrus]

honnestly no idea i saw it in a youtube video and he said he used babies maybe harpoon them also?

[hushed imp]

dont babies get 1 shotted from harpoons

[north citrus]

no idea harpooning babies isnt something i do often 😛

[hushed imp]

he lives

[civic frost]

To safely afk, have a portal set to an emptied out troll cave, go afk in there.

[acoustic tide]

a crypt or burial chamber works as well
infact
any instance place works if its been cleared and no spawners remains

[ember wasp]

Or you can go to a trader and sit there 😄

[tender rampart]

A nice fairly large island, half way captured all for myself

A warehouse, still work in progress but it shows where the other shelves will be located, 2 rows in the middle and 1 row for each long wall

This looks so cool it looks like an island from avatar the last airbender

[turbid condor]

anyone else going on a big adventure?

[patent slate]

I conveniently got two archers one after the other

[velvet wedge]

beautiful background

[hushed imp]

howd you get them up there lol that is so smart!

[rough crater]

The dead raiser.

[patent slate]

I actually placed stairs and then made them follow me up there.

I only realized later that dead raiser spawns the skeletts on the same ground the character stands on (like wooden floors above actual ground level, perfect sense)

[hushed imp]

am i ready to take on whatever is inside this cave with my current gear?

[drifting flame]

Take the root armor off
Its useless in the mountains
Be careful you should be able to win them

[fringe bramble]

I would say yes. Just be mindful of some strong enemies with fire abilities.

[hushed imp]

what do i wear?

[drifting flame]

Iron armor

[rapid thorn]

Nothing

[drifting flame]

If you want you can get the silver gear because you will find nothing in those caves

[lucid sand]

There's plenty of things in the frost caves.

[placid goblet]

I'm no expert, but I've seen very little in the way of spiders builtin valheim, so I decided to make one. 2 different versions. First one was before iron was gotten. Second one was after.

[fallen hatch]

This looks awesome, great idea! 🕷️

[runic cloak]

not useless, root armor is pretty good in mountains

Pierce resist isn't as useful as in swamp/plains/mistlands, but still helps

[quartz socket]

why so far away😭

[drowsy vapor]

It be like that

[lucid sand]

There'll be one closer, I'm sure.

[placid goblet]

So wish there was some kind of build piece to look like webs to put around my spider

[honest sedge]

Maybe a bunch of abomination trophies?

[burnt flame]

Damn, that is so cool

[drowsy vapor]

I put the wood floor piece at the same height as the butcher table and put a slab of cooked serpent meat on it, and made it like a big prep counter

[normal olive]

not even close

[hushed imp]

just finished mining for silver and I have no idea where these 2 iron bars came from

[runic cloak]

frost cave doors that got destroyed by ulvs/cultists?

[civic frost]

Root harnesk is great, I'm still wearing it in the Mistlands. But I also always carry some fire resist potion, just in case...

[dusty hazel]

Hey it's been a day or more but gotta say 10/10

[drifting flame]

There is nothing actually useful

[lucid sand]

Hard disagree. There might just be nothing useful for YOU.

[patent slate]

Thinking fenris set is not useful is a reason why I think opinions can be wrong

Or fenris claws

just tried it and yup it still works if anyone else wanna know : D

[chilly harness]

Yeah but its weird when a sceöeton you ripped from ground suddenly just loves you

[runic cloak]

You are its parent. It will love you or it will be used as cannon fodder (or in case of a lack of enemies, get butchered with a knife)

[pulsar marten]

Far right corner is ygdrassil stacks, right? I don't think I've ever had enough at a time to make one of those, you must've harvested a ton

[tranquil harness]

looks more than it actually is, i havent used any to build and explored 4 bigger mistlands bioms, taking as much as i could maybe 5 stacks in there, pretty much all i ever harvested outside of weapon crafting

[raven niche]

I hate harvesting Yggdrasil cause you can’t replant it 😭
I like those trees too much to cut them down except it be necessity

[honest sedge]

It's close enough to the shore you could probably swim... or even just build a dock/platform out far enough

[lucid sand]

Heh use all your stamina mining then drown trying to swim back.

[still charm]

Just drown, then collect all loot with raft or karve

[digital lynx]

Bring a stamina potion for the swim back! Honestly though, I’d leave it alone- that’s a rare occurrence and it would be a nice touch to have a leviathan near a potential base. Plenty more chitin to be found!

Base plan, is this too large, too small and should I even do it at spawn or move it to somewhere more central close to a bunch of biomes

[rancid yew]

I usually like to have my bases around a bunch of biomes. It's also nice to build around a grey dwarf spawner if you feel like building in a black forest to get passive wood, stone, eyes, and resin. But build wherever you like it doesn't matter too much you will be doing plenty of sailing anyways.

[velvet veldt]

Yea, it'd be nice if I found a spot where it's between a bunch of biomes but rn I don't know of any place, I am also considering maybe just allowing metals thru portals, cuz I don't have much time to play and although I see why they wold prevent it, I'd rather save travel time if I am low on time, and then for next playthroughs I can play again without portal metals

Why are the ballista aimed at the Forsaken Stones.... What targets are gonna come from that direction, new players to that world.

when you kill the queen, Gnarls can attack your base, the balistas are not just facing the stones, they can point up, all around the stones we put balistas.

Well technically... #building-screenshots

[velvet veldt]

I might sail for a bit aswell, I mostly explored the bottom left area of the map, the top area is barely explored even tho it's really close to spawn.
How big do you recommend the base to be? the area I marked was for the walls, not necessarily the actual base, bcz in that area I already have my 2 previous houses, a crop farm, a boar farm etc

Just a little POI that sometimes (rarely) has a Yagluth vegvisir.

[quiet obsidian]

what things can have vegvisir for yag?

[gray geyser]

those things, the big stone circles and small arches iirc

[quiet obsidian]

alr

[glossy parcel]

yum

planting trees works out

[quiet obsidian]

i should do that, i hate chopping trees

[glossy parcel]

yeah and halfway through they all just collapse on themself and just skip a ton of chopping for you

plus the added benefit of not leaving the surroundings of your camp a wasteland without trees is great

[molten jasper]

You have seeds? Plant!!

Especially plant stuff from BF, like pine so you don't have to travel for core wood. Use fir as decorative trees.

[quiet obsidian]

yo randomly found yag spawn lol (i think its yag spawn)

[ember wasp]

yep it is

[honest sedge]

You likely won't be surprised at how often that happens 😉 I'd say half my playthroughs I find the altar before I find the vegevisir

[glossy parcel]

first time trying to make a not tiny and cramped camp tree nursery on the left will soon be turned into a farm

[fallow cedar]

I'm not sure how to make this work. I want to make towers to the corners of the wall but I'm not sure how to make it look good with wood iron.

[quiet obsidian]

perfect timing

[drowsy vapor]

You can put regular wood over the wood iron, and it will generally cover it up, or you can clip them into the stone rather than onto it. Or just as well, put the wood iron beams on the inside rather than the outside of you don't want it to show. Or clip some stones into the side to cover up the beams that way as well. Several options.

[digital lynx]

I love the way you incorporated that giant grave into your build with the kiln!

[placid venture]

all mountain trophies finally collected! 3 trophies left...

[glossy parcel]

tyty i wish we had placeable rocks so i didnt have to desecrate a graveyard lol

[honest sedge]

Wraith, rancid remains and what else?

[placid venture]

dvergr

[honest sedge]

Man, I've got like 5 of those, but no seeker soldier trophies yet 😦 Or fuling berserker

[fallow cedar]

I'll try to place it inside of the building, thanks.

[rose pilot]

Embed the wood iron poles in the stone. Place doors front to back to find your snap points at smaller intervals

[digital lynx]

Is your goal to give your build more depth using wood iron? Or are you trying to find a way to hide the wood iron?

[frail fractal]

use pine logs on top of them 😼

or use a wooden beam, as in the picture @fallow cedar 😼 👍

[acoustic tide]

hes making steps for giants that lead nowhere

[placid venture]

god of thunder himself

[frail fractal]

well, as for me, round towers look more impressive 😼

[modest cobalt]

I was looking at old screenshot and I'm pretty sure this still is the tiniest black forest I've seen.

Well that's a "small update" considering Valheim's size, almost half a gig. But I can't update

[astral sigil]

I was never supposed to build in Mistlands, but I felt I needed an FOB near the Queen, so here goes. I'm a bit sad I can't excavate more under the rock there, the ground level rises up within it, but I managed to squeeze in a portal and some storage, which is all that is needed in this place.

That cliff had a skull and ribcage on top of it, so pretty much all the marble needed could be mined on-site, always a plus!

[honest sedge]

Have you actually gone to the Queen's altar yet?

[blissful depot]

Ran across this the other day

[astral sigil]

Yeah I cleared all the bugs scuttering around there, but I haven't entered yet

[honest sedge]

You should explore the stairwell up, it won't spoil anything. There's a single wood wall of interest you can deconstruct with just a workbench 😉

[rotund veldt]

slowly getting where i want it

[astral sigil]

🙂

[rotund veldt]

i would call it the safest swamp ever

[honest sedge]

The Queen is currently the only boss that has her own dungeon, so it's perfectly safe to build and occupy 😉

[blissful depot]

I’d like to hope so but I think the three drugrs that were lurking in the water say otherwise……

[rapid thorn]

I gotta say, for it only being day 3, I got good feelings about this start!

[polar mural]

Exploring, looking for the land bridge that will bring me to elder!

[honest sedge]

There may be no land bridge, you might want to consider building a boat. You're a viking, a master of the sea 😉

[polar mural]

I think you're right, I'm particularly terrible at sailing that little pile of sticks

[honest sedge]

You look like you're in troll gear, which means you likely have bronze... made any bronze nails yet? You should if you haven't.

[polar mural]

no, thanks!

[slim topaz]

Good Night everyone, today I'm showing my smelt house

[dusty hazel]

Looks great, the smelters look like a mini city ^-^

[velvet wedge]

they're getting smarter

[rose pilot]

🤣

[hasty lily]

it was the coordinates above the minimap

but maybe that's vanilla and I didn't know this was a thing? sorry if that's the case

[velvet wedge]

It's just a small QOL mod. In game there's a command (/pos) for it but I just want it displayed to save time. It shouldn't really be necessary to use the wrong channel emoji every time someone uses QOL mods like this. I remember Subject* warned me about two* years ago when I used to spam that emoji on every post that I thought didn't belong in a channel

[hasty lily]

yeah, I personally only target modded screenshots... building screenshots are fine under screenshots channel in my opinion, unless the topic starts to develop and people start showing too much building

tho reacting with the emoji is probably fine, while spamming etc can be something they don't want to happen

as it is with all emotes, actually

[velvet wedge]

yea thats what I did, I react-spam
on every single post lol
but they really didnt belong in the channel

[hasty lily]

warning makes sense

[velvet wedge]

I got muted for it

[cold carbon]

[willow schooner]

We found a piece of plains surrounded by water and built this base.

Cute map and banner theme 😄 really cool!

[worldly forge]

restin'...

[slim topaz]

Morning vikings, today I'll show my docks, every day till ashlands will be a build

[lucid bone]

POV: you play Valheim in school

[patent slate]

So for eternity? Somewhat difficult for devs to turn Ashlands from a biome to a build...

Whatever that would work

[hard ingot]

new and improved defense for the dvergr

also on the other side

[fringe bramble]

How did you build there with a dvergr present? Didn't you have to smash his Ward?

[honest sedge]

If you smash the ward indirectly (refined eitr, ram it with a cart, a bug does it, etc.) then you can build without them being upset.

[fringe bramble]

Ohh right I forget about that....

[pastel nacelle]

Most isolated yagluth i have ever seen

[honest sedge]

Making noise fighting and pulling in some Mistlands enemies...

[pastel nacelle]

not fighting without mass workbench spam around that biome there lol.

[honest sedge]

I'd suggest campfires 😉 Cheaper and enemies that wander nearby won't attack them like they will workbenches

[pastel nacelle]

is cf and bench spawn block radius same ?

i though bench is bigger for what ever reason thats why i have been using it since forever

I checked they are all the same size of blocking with 20m radius.

[fringe bramble]

i rather like using Wards because of their high durability.

[honest sedge]

Wards use more resources, and durability doesn't matter if the enemy doesn't attack it at all (like a campfire)

[fringe bramble]

True

[dusty hazel]

Morning yoga, or something

[hushed imp]

you better build a bunker for that 2 star boar 💀

[rotund veldt]

finally finished sorting and building workbenches as i like em still gotta do decorations and etc

[muted warren]

COSMIC BLAST

[velvet wedge]

Maybe I'm drunk but im seeing a duck on your map

[pastel nacelle]

Haha ur right😂

[velvet wedge]

see

[ember wasp]

new type of dungeon: "sunken chambers" 😄

[burnt flame]

I destroyed an entire mountain surrounding a mine. This is what it looks like all peeled up, well, almost; couldn't make some of those rocks on the air fall and got tired of climbing over and over, sorry for the ladder in the shot, wanted to also capture the Gjall before I murdered it :D

[north tinsel]

Shookt by the raid that happened earlier at our base, there were 8 trolls ready to smash

[lucid sand]

What difficulty setting are you on!?

[ember wasp]

hooooooly sh*t, does higher difficulties affect the number of enemies that can be spawned during the raid? 👀

[lucid sand]

I didn't think so, but I could be wrong.

[north tinsel]

Hard mode dedicated server, we didn't expect that too to be that many. It was our first time having 8 giant visitors at our base LOL!

[ember wasp]

could it be because of multiple players in the area? 🤔 (tho i dont believe that ever happened when i was playing on server)

[lucid sand]

No, only one raid can happen at a time, and the difficulty setting should just change how OFTEN raids happen, not how many mobs spawn.

[north tinsel]

we were 4 players online at that moment aaand exploring by pairs then 1 died so he respawned at the base & just ask for help & got shookt to see those when we returned & that's how the raid just happend lol

[north tinsel]

yeaa, we made it to frequent but that one was the first time tho then got followed maybe like 15mins trolls came again 4 of em

[ember wasp]

if you would just lead them around for 15 minutes and had raid setting on "much more" then another could happen after the first one, but still dont know why is there so much trolls 😄

[honest sedge]

Maybe mods of some kind?

[north tinsel]

there was glitchy thing, we took damage even tho we attack a bit far from them & then suddenly like magic they're right in front of us lol

we're not really sure if it's by the server

[north tinsel]

we aren't using any mods

[cold carbon]

Someone probably spawned them in maybe

[honest sedge]

So, the interesting thing about Valheim is that it's client-authoritative, and implicitly trusts what the connected clients say are going on. If someone is running mods or whatnot that made that happen then the rest of the clients and the server are just going to roll with it.

[normal olive]

i just beat the skibidi queen (again)

new work in progress!!

[slim topaz]

Morning Vikings!, today I'm gonna show you inside of my longhouse, a lot of you liked it so I think you also like what I put inside, so here is 9 photos of some places inside: 1 - outside view 2 - entrance with reunion table 3 - fancy kitchen 4 - black forge with chests where we put our metals 5 - crafting area with de workbenches 6 - underground with 2 eithr refinery and one magic table 7 - the second floor with bedrooms, there is 8 rooms 8 - inside of my own bedroom 9 - the last floor with every single armor and weapon in the game se you tomorrow

[dusty hazel]

Thank you for sharing as always ❤️

[tender rampart]

Still looks like a construction site... because that's basically what this still is. It will be an Inn one day, but at this rate going to take a week to finish

[raw sorrel]

construction work on the Kamchatka concentration camp . Glory to the great Arcja!!

[unique vine]

mb

[glossy parcel]

this game really brings out the mrow :3 mow mow mow :3 in me

[muted warren]

Real ?

[velvet wedge]

this is possible without mods or dev command. I had four trolls chasing me while playing solo, I was just running around my base and they kept spawning more during the raid

[lucid sand]

Not how the raid works. It has a limit of 2 at a time.

[velvet wedge]

wait i had a screenshot, let me see

[rancid yew]

Maybe if the trolls go out of the raid zone it spawns more

[velvet wedge]

nvm I deleted my old screenshots, but I posted it on this channel before the server wipe. My base was big and I was just running on the border, so 2 spawned in another chunk while the first two followed me

[lucid sand]

Ah, so they might not all have been part of the raid.

[modest cobalt]

Raid mobs are limited to two at the time, but random spawns can come in addition.

[acoustic tide]

would players have more mobs spawn?

[lucid sand]

Huh?

[acoustic tide]

i shouldve phrased it better, but wouldnt more players = more mobs spawning during a raid?

[river rivet]

amazing leviathan placing

[hushed imp]

Im ready for moder now

[north citrus]

btw Frost potion dont protect you from moders frost attack

[digital lynx]

Although I killed Moder with a Frostner and a Huntsman’s bow, I wouldn’t recommend Frostner lol

working on my first fist only run, so far ive defeated eithkar

[hushed imp]

do you count fernis claws as fists too or no

[sour gale]

I probably will

[hushed imp]

im about to purge all the loxes

[honest sedge]

So... you know that Lox are resistant to blunt and frost, and immune to spirit, the three types of damage that the Frostner does, right?

[hushed imp]

bruh i did not know that 💀 no wonder they're so tanky

[honest sedge]

When the damage numbers are grey that means they're resisting the attacks, if they're white it's normal damage, and yellow means it's weak to the attacks.

[winter oxide]

skeleton raid moment

[velvet wedge]

Did you not learn anything from the mountains? 💀 never a good idea to fight on big rocks where you might get thrown off and fall to your death. I learned the hard way from trying to parry golem the first few times

[sweet cloud]

i seem to be in a predicament

[buoyant narwhal]

Sheessshh I knew of the white and yellow numbers being effective and normal. but i didnt realize the restances had special number color with it.

[hushed imp]

so uhhh, how do i get this stuff out

[odd moat]

dig a channel away from the pit to drain the tar, then you'll be able to pick it up

[buoyant narwhal]

drain the pit. go about 15-20m away and dig a channel to drain it.

[gray geyser]

raise the ground under it is my preferred method

[tender rampart]

A way to hide your support beams for stone floor:
Use corewood log to lift your beams 1/4 up

[rotund veldt]

i feel soo bad for em greydwarfs

[winter cloud]

Haw luky can you get to find one of the mini bosses with out goign to Hildir 😄

[glass warren]

🤗

[gray geyser]

ye that is most likely gonna brick on ashlands update

[north citrus]

i think the already "Old" ashlands stay like that so nothing changes

[earnest idol]

iron age🥳

[acoustic tide]

ashlands will update with the ashlands update if not explored

[patent slate]

World gen will be forced, if that base is close to another biome it will 100% be demolished after appearing over the ocean

[slim topaz]

beautiful

Morning Vikings! Today I'll show the mistlands base, inspired in Erebor of Hobbit I reformed one of those broken bridges and created a base inside of a Mountain

[rotund veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/thrain-gold-gif-20416506

[slim topaz]

Mine just misses gold and a dragon

[rotund veldt]

that wouldnt be right it should have sh*t ton of dwars in it and not a dragon ahahhaa 🤣🤣🤣

[river rivet]

watch out for moder

[tender rampart]

A problem I have with short range of cauldron (and other crafting stations):
The red circle is where I wanted to place butcher's table, but it's out of range so I had to place it under stone slabs instead. Wouldn't look good anywhere else

[gray geyser]

i dont think it would look that bad next to the back right pillar against the wall

[tender rampart]

it wouldn't look bad, but in my opinion it looks worse than nothing having it...

[gray geyser]

glad you found a work-around that suits you

[tender rampart]

not ideal, but a working solution to a lot of situations. If you need a crafting station (for long term building and stuff, so you can repair it easily later), but there's nowhere good to put it, hide it.

[drowsy vapor]

If you were to destroy the floor piece and 2x1 stone pieces you could put the butchers table there where the red square is and then clip the other pieces over it where you can still see it. If you want the aesthetic of the knives showing, that is.

But whatever works for you, just my suggestion

[tender rampart]

hmm... intering idea. I'll try that

[drifting pier]

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198033242330/screenshot/2510268738190111752/

That's how I've set it up right now.

[tender rampart]

Edited version. This is as far as the game allowed me to put it. Couldn't put it all the way to the corner, but think this looks good enough

[drowsy vapor]

Very nice

[blissful folio]

shame it's just getting dark in the shot, but it does look like a chopping board sat on a counter top 🤌

[tender rampart]

Yea, really like that suggestion

[dusty hazel]

just scenery 🌲

[still charm]

What did I expect to get with trollfish?

[paper geyser]

that is so beautiful

[hushed imp]

you guys think is is enough blackmetal to max out a few weapons and tools?

I really recommend you to not grow attached to that base

why not get rid of the stone through a portal or simply getting rid of it? it would save a lot of weight

its best to always build a coastal base

[hard ingot]

what is this load screen

[ember wasp]

it was tweeked a bit in last patch

[drowsy vapor]

Indeed, it made me think it was bugged when i opened the game on the 10th lol but it ran fine, only complaint i have is the change to the camera based character attack movements

Think ima set up camp over here just up the shore a bit from yags alter at this Stonehenge

[winter oxide]

I just threw it in an iron chest for the sake of time I’ll separate the stone later

[velvet wedge]

But hes got all thick hair strategically placed to keep him all cozy and warm

sometimes only that will make you want to play this game, i like this game most bc of the nature.

finally!

[dusty hazel]

Finally! You can eat another bite! \o/

[hard ingot]

look at them go, whacking the crops for me. Somehow they spawned inside the farm even though i plattered workbench around this area, and it covers the entire farm. Luckily the crop ripens long ago so now i dont have to waste time harvesting it

i never knew that fulings are the practitioner of crop whacking

[winter oxide]

i love being the weight of a car

[hard ingot]

Be prepared to never use half of this silver

[still charm]

Yeah, you don't need a lot of it, but you can use it for arrows

[ember wasp]

the silver arrows are not really that usefull tho 🥲 (tho the have same pierce as obsidian ones so its not THAT bad)

[paper geyser]

I like to make silver knives and stash them around my base a decorations

[still charm]

Can you show how it looks?

When do get home I can

another day, another enemy of the nation working for our beloved homeland. the Kamchatka camp has been expanded recently. the construction of the barracks was completed, a kitchen was built along with other buildings such as workshops. Due to the recent incident in which 3 workers escaped into the Kamchatka forest, guard towers were installed. Glory to the great Arcja!

what's all that weird food?

[patent steppe]

fish, deer stew and carrot soup

[low umbra]

never heard of any of it lol

[patent steppe]

just need tin bars to start making it with a cauldron i think

[ember wasp]

you need carrots for the soup and stew, and you can catch fish if they jump onto the shore or if you found trader you can buy fishing rod

[low umbra]

never seen a trader. is that later in the game?

[patent steppe]

depends on your world. i didn't find him until i got too close to the plains

[ember wasp]

in black forest 😄 but at least 1500 meters from center

[acoustic tide]

pretty much random and like asatru said, that trader can be late game or mid or early, it all depends on when you find him

[dusty hazel]

@ember wasp remember when I told you "wait there, you look cool in this light"

[ember wasp]

Oh yeah, i remember now 😄

[crystal sluice]

so is the weight in game supposed to be lbs? or half-kilos? or kilos?

[honest sedge]

Kilos would make sense given that sizes are in meters
