suggestion-discussion

[umbral spindle]

i'm saying my suggestion reasoning here. the current hatch time makes me feel like i have to sit there with the chickens to collect eggs and i can't go comfortably explore. one day i feel is too tight of a window

[peak bronze]

Take the fire out, they don't hatch if they have either no fire or shelter.

[umbral spindle]

i could just stop feeding the hearth i guess but it does make the room look nicer

[peak bronze]

I used to make 2 different chicken coops in my base: one with fire nearby to raise more chickens and other without fire nearby, for collecting eggs.

[umbral spindle]

i may have to do the same because i also do want to make honey glazed chicken

[peak bronze]

So that would be solution for your suggestion.

[wanton atlas]

that's also what I do

I got multiple places for my chickens

[royal lily]

Is there a reason yagluth has no legs or should 💡yagluth legs unearth when his body is slain and chase you with physical stomp attacks

[rose swan]

I might be remembering wrong, but I think Odin cut him in half or something 🤔

[wanton atlas]

unsure if that is lore or someones dreams

[runic plover]

Oh, that's a fun thought for a NG+ addition. Yagluth finds his legs. His move speed and turn rate at least double and he gets some melee attacks.

[wanton atlas]

or run around and spew fire all over the place 😄

[rose swan]

From his legs?… shooting fire from where

[lofty wave]

maybe he can't re-attach his legs so he uses them as a melee weapon

[serene wing]

Has anyone suggested an option to toggle map pins so you can get a clear look at your map without actually deleting any of your pins?

[rose swan]

Right-click the pin icon

[serene wing]

Dang it why doesn't Hugin tell me things

[spiral ice]

Bummer. You got to it before my bear emoji reaction could. 🙁

[royal lily]

I want credit for yag legs if they implement it

[rose swan]

#valheim-public-test message fun little trivia

[royal lily]

Super cool!!! Thanks!

[rose swan]

Huh, speaking of ||REDACTED||,,, the banner artwork on his ||REDACTED|| looks interesting… 👀
Potential Deep North spoiler?

[languid ibex]

||It would appear so.||

[wanton atlas]

?

[rose swan]

Sent you a dm!

[eternal wyvern]

OOOOooo

[royal lily]

A chazzed out frost troll would be cool but that also looks like an artistic depiction of a troll chasing you up the mt biome with fir trees in the back but it could be

[rose swan]

Ah, yeah you’re probably right! Most likely just concept art of the troll 🤔

[royal lily]

Whometh knows

[eternal wyvern]

Clearly it's a troll being lured to the mountains because the golems can't mine silver veins for you.

[stuck lark]

Was the emote wheel a suggestion that was added into the game or was it always gone be implemented nonetheless ? If it was the first one it would be super cool and if it was the second would be understable too since adding emote wheel in games are pretty common

Just question that came up in my mind and couldn't hold my own curiosity

[rose swan]

If I’m not mistaken, it was something that used to be something that was suggested a lot, but it’s hard to say if it came to fruition due to request 🤔

[stuck lark]

@tulip egret name checks out xD

Doesn't really make alot of sense with these ingredients especially ( I know you why you listed them but still none of those does give the vibe of it still fizzes softly with ancient memories.

And you can actually get soft tissue in Ashlands from the morgen holes caves thingy

[stiff stag]

Not to mention it's organic tissue in general, not something that you would be capable of crafting regardless. The idea of "I just crafted ancient giant brains" is a tad nonsensical.

[lament zinc]

@barren oasis about #suggestions message.

What do you think the Fuling totems are made off?

[wintry bobcat]

@coarse sentinel not opposed to linen cape having a buff, but please not xp gain

[wanton atlas]

indeed ^
not everthing needs to have passive buffs 🥲

@solemn moon Scrolling the hotbar?

you click 1-8 keys normally 🤔

[solemn moon]

you mean press the buttons for it?

[wanton atlas]

yes?

you click 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 keys to activate whatever is in your hotbar

[solemn moon]

is that the only way?

[wanton atlas]

yes

I don't understand how you want to activate them 🤔

[solemn moon]

yeah that and right clicking when youre in your inventory makes it a little bit tedious sometimes

especially when youre in a fight and you have to press 5-8 for weapons/potions, I feel like having scroll wheel to cycle through your hotbar would make it more convenient

[wanton atlas]

I'm sorry, but I cannot think of a way without using a macro. to make it faster than just dragging your finger over 5,6,7,8 keys to click

else you need to scroll once, click, scroll again, click, scroll again, click etc

[solemn moon]

in a fight, dragging your finger through 5-8 while there's a pull out animation wouldnt be ideal. have you play other survival games where they just use scroll wheel to cycle through their hotbar? thats what I am thinking of

[wanton atlas]

don't think I have 🤔
or I personally don't use that way to activate things in the hotbar

like. playing diablo games, or dungeon crawler games. I still use 1-9 keys

[solemn moon]

thats weird cuz I feel like its standard not just in other survival craft games but shooters and even some rougelike too, heck you can even bind scroll wheel to change your hotbar in souls game. well diablo is different than what valheim is, what kind of dungeon crawler do you play that use 1-9 keys?

[wanton atlas]

I put important potions and stuff in slot 1-4

for my ring finger or index finger to press 🤔

[solemn moon]

and what about cycling through your weapons when youre fighting bosses with ads?

[wanton atlas]

I rarily swap weapons in a boss fight

and I got somewhat small hands aswell 🤔

it's all muscle memory for me tho

I know some people wanted to be able to rebind the 1-8 keys.
specially people with a gaming mouse with multiple keys on them

so maybe that would be an option for you also?

[solemn moon]

like I said, I can do 1-8 keys but for a game like it, its pretty inconvenient. What I am saying is, using a mouse wheel to cycle through items in your hotbar

[solemn moon]

almost, but thats next level

[wanton atlas]

well 🤔
the mouse wheel is locked for the camera controlls atm

[solemn moon]

yes, and my suggestion is that we should be able to use ctrl + scroll wheel for FOV and scroll wheel for swapping to item hotbar

[wanton atlas]

I'd say.. maybe possible 🤔
but if you found a mod that allow you to do this already. use that in the meantime

[solemn moon]

Yeah thats the unfortunate thing, I feel like we have to go out of our way to add QoL mods. I am hoping that the next update we get some of what people suggest in the suggestion channel

[wanton atlas]

no. next update won't have things like that

we are working towards the 1.0 release and the final biome

but after that. we have infinite more time to do QoL

[solemn moon]

That's great to hear, Im fine waiting anyways. the game is still in early access

[wanton atlas]

what games do have the system you suggest?

I might have some so I can test myself 🤔

[eternal wyvern]

Minecraft has scroll wheel controlled hotbar.

[coarse sentinel]

What else gives xp, beside rested bonus ? I was looking for something that would be considered a good trade against the cold resist

[peak bronze]

Reduced stamina usage for attacks for example would be other idea.

[ember lily]

but ||ashen cape|| already has that, no?

[wintry bobcat]

Nothing, that's the point.

You slap xp bonus on the linen cape and then it suddenly becomes the go-to cape to wear for most adventures, reducing build diversity

[coarse sentinel]

yes, but you're less effective at night

you can't go to the mountain with it, you take fall damages, I think 10% bonus isn't worth it in most circumstances

[wintry bobcat]

Pretty easy frost mead chug to fix that.

Does require getting ingredients for and crafting and carrying frost resist meads, but imo that's a small price for levelling skills faster and I think people will gravitate towards the xp bonus because otherwise they feel like they're missing out doing activities without the extra xp gain

I know focusing xp gain / gold gain modifiers is pretty normal in many other games

People might pick mistlands/ashlands capes over linen yea, but overall just not a fan of the xp bonus

Just me though (and 5 other ppl)

[coarse sentinel]

anyway the core of my suggestion is to stop gimping ourselves when we use this beautiful cape ^^ it needs something, I don't know what

[ember lily]

I also think it might need smth, but I agree that missing out on an XP buff would feel pretty bad when using other capes

[coarse sentinel]

10% is just 1/5 of the rested buff

but I agree it would still be significant for people who wants to reach 100 bow, for example

[royal lily]

I just think its decorative and for making yourself look unique in a role play way I dont think it needs a buff for fighting but i can't think of anything else that would make sense

[shadow crow]

Maybe a lesser version of the asksvin cape’s wind run

[royal lily]

I was thinking that too, it does look like a light cape

[ember lily]

maybe a movement speed buff would work too

[coarse sentinel]

ratatosk + fenrir + a move speed cape, even a valkyrie wouldn't be able to catch a walking viking XD

[rose swan]

Slap some boots of speed into the game, we’re hitting Sonic levels of speed!

[lofty wave]

I don’t think movespeed is right but it does need to do something

[stiff stag]

We don't need to add uses or functions to things that are meant to be purely aesthetic/cosmetic by design. The real issue to address is that you can't apply cosmetics separately from using items for functional purposes (for example not being able to use any other cape if you want the aesthetics of the linen cape).

[wintry bobcat]

I've never been a fan of transmog in games, feels weird to have the armor not do what it looks like it does. Like chainmail (padded) armor making you weak to fire

Not that I care particularly much either way, aesthetics are at the bottom of my priorities when I play games

[safe dove]

I think it could work in Valheim. Maybe some mistlands device that could use eitr as fuel, creating magical illusions to change the appearance of armor & weapons.

Probably with the limitation of needing to change it to a similar type of equipment, like heavy armor only being able to be changed to look like another suit of heavy armor, swords must stay swords, etc.

Maybe you activate it like an obliterator with two compartments. In one, you put the item you want to change the appearance of, in the other, the item you want the first item to look like. You pull a lever, and the first item now has its appearance changed.

[paper canopy]

Transmog sounds like a good idea to me.
Some sets look much more "viking" than others

[bronze drum]

want to suggest that the merchant selll magic berry bush seeds that allow you to grow 1 bush before the plant is deleted and you must purchase more seeds.
Stick wiith me - i know the current reasoning behind not being able to grow berries being park of the push for further explanation but i actually think this way accomplishes that much better.

currently most players mark the berry bushes on their map , build a portal there, and visit anytime they need to refresh . not taking all the berries. this is not fun , and does not encourage exploration. sure you keep going back to that biome but its the same exact spot you been to before.

now, having to continuously purchase magic seeds , forces you to explore more/new forest biomes etc for more currency to be able to constantly buy magic seeds to continue growiing them, actually making you explore and feel a need for to revist new forst biomes beyond growing your ever more useless pile of gold back at base.

[paper canopy]

Perhaps not for weapons so much although we already have different patterns for shields

[shadow crow]

I use a mod that includes cosmetic changes to armor (armor only, no weapons) and I love it. My simple turnip farmer doesn’t have to be helpless just because I prefer the plain dress

[paper canopy]

For the berry-seeds, I'd be absolutely with you.

[bronze drum]

we need real reasons to revist older biomes late game

[lofty wave]

there's already blueberries for ratatosk mead and iron used in recipes for mountains, plains and mistlands equipment

[bronze drum]

its less about the berrys and more about making me have a need to continue exploring my map

[peak bronze]

Your suggestion got deleted by Odin bot because you forgot to put 💡 at the start.

[lofty wave]

you can continue exploring, in the later biomes

[bronze drum]

i saw and will repost after the (30 min? -_-) timer

[bronze drum]

yes i absolutley loved seeing those in the later crafting recipes. more of that

[lofty wave]

you wouldn't prefer to be in an area where the enemies are correctly scaled for your progression?

[bronze drum]

absolutely but ive been end/post game for very long like im sure everyone else here. my map is 80% forest and mountains and no reason to go there, just sail past . i would like a reason to stop and clear

"i dont need to kill that troll and loot his cave. i have 100s of skins and mountains of loot"
to
"omg yes another troll cave i need that coin to continue my build let me do that real fast "

[royal lily]

The point of valheim isn't your build tho

[eternal wyvern]

Since linen is moisture wicking, how about it gets rid of wet debuff fast like being near fire?

No buff effect or anything, it just does that

Maybe update its description to say it’s moisture wicking

[wintry bobcat]

I like that

Maybe not as fast as a fire, but maybe wet debuff goes away 4x as fast (30 seconds rather than 2 minutes)?

[eternal wyvern]

It's not really all that good so I think just as fast is fine but 4x is also not bad.

[ebon fiber]

yeah a way to get rid of the wet debuff/not get it at all would be nice

outside of campfires

[stiff stag]

I feel the major reason a set bonus or cape effect doesn't currently affect the wet debuff is because of swamps or perhaps just because of rain in general being a consistent obstacle, but that implementation wouldn't interfere at all since it isn't the same tired idea of just preventing it entirely, and requires you to be out of the rain/water for it to work. Still don't feel an item designed to be purely cosmetic/aesthetic should be given a use though, although in the case of valheim purely aesthetic equipment doesn't have proper support for it to be viable, so it's whatever.

[eternal wyvern]

It's a cape at the end of the day with the same amount of armor points you get from the ones that came before it so I feel like it's not completely cosmetic.

[somber remnant]

No capes

[celest flume]

Passive resin collector is not a bad idea, though I've never had a problem with it. I use sconces for interior lighting, lanterns for exterior. It works well and I don't need more than 20-ish sconces even for big builds. At 50-100, I'd go crazy refilling them though

[royal lily]

I can not fathom running out of resin

[lofty wave]

if you don't have at least a full black metal chest of resin you're doing something wrong

[wanton atlas]

some people says they can't get rid of their resin, and some people seems to have to little resin

those 2 should play together I feel

[trim folio]

That depends on how much u play, with how many people, if u care to use lighting or make a nice base at all or keep it just functional.
I have 800 hours on the game playing with friends in normal worlds and it's always the same story:

early game: 2 chests full of resin
mid game: no sconces, not enough resin to upkeep the lighting in the base
end game: lanterns (ugly and ineffective) or sconces which are def an upgrade but still need refueling after a while

and it's also something that just makes sense to have from a realistic standpoint and from the fact that cutting whole forests down just for resin is a bit much

[celest flume]

Usually I have enough resin as a byproduct of woodcutting and foraging in black forest

[marsh radish]

I just obliterated like 200 resin I have so much 😭 😭

All you need to do is dig out around a greydwarf spawner and kill them when they spawn in the pit or employ 2 star wolves to do it for you. Endless resin, rock, eyes, wood, etc

[royal lily]

No way. Unless ur not playing the game and sitting there in build cam just no way to run out of resin

[trim folio]

you're missing the point of the suggestion

[marsh radish]

Also, if you want permanent bright light just buy like 8 Dverger Circlets from Haldor and attach them to item stands. Boom. Spotlights. Also, mist torches are bright and permanent

[trim folio]

so if you were a game dev and you got suggestions about adding an optional passive resin collector for large-scale lighting purposes, you would instead suggest to your players to dig a hole under a spawner to cheese greydwarf kills, to spend all their gold on headwear to place on armor stands, and to use short standing torches that emit a blue uncomfortable light as opposed to the warm cozy options

i didn't ask for advice on how to farm resin, i made a suggestion that makes sense to have in the game for types of players like me and my friends who are always in need of it

you dont need to treat suggestions as challenges toward your playstyle, instead think about the game itself and not just your own experience in it

[wanton atlas]

welll....

greydwarf spawners isn't really intended gameplay feature from out point of view

but if people want to do those, it's up to them

[trim folio]

exactly my point

the suggestion is an 'intended' way of resin generation other than deforestation

[sonic musk]

From an alternate perspective, you can set up an outpost near a greydwarf nest, level up your skills at the same time as farming resin, and play perfectly within the bounds of the game while accomplishing your mission. Or have a wolf pen built under a greydwarf nest. If you ignore the in-game systems, then you will have problems.

Not including there are mutliple color torches with different fuel sources, and Wisp torches are also infinite sources of light (which I personally prefer). I have never had problems with resin, but I'm not building a huge base using only resin torches, and ignoring resin farming methods

[wanton atlas]

you know how canadians harvest from trees?

sirup? or whatever it's called 😄

[sonic musk]

Syrup

[wanton atlas]

that's the one

could be a cool thing you stab into a oak tree that passivly release resin?

like the Eitr collecting in mistlands

[trim folio]

that was the suggestion

[wanton atlas]

yeah. doesn't sound to outlandish

[lofty wave]

what if you stab it into a greydwarf instead

[trim folio]

not at all, but people here recommending spawncamping as an intended way to farm

[sonic musk]

The unethical way to do it😂

[wanton atlas]

would be very anoying to try to find your walking resin deposit 🤔

[royal lily]

You don't need a gf to have too much resin. Nobody misses the point

[lofty wave]

it could stop the greydwarf from doing much, I just think it would be more fun than stabbing a tree

[trim folio]

imprison the elder and stab it with resin extractors?

[wanton atlas]

well. cool idea but the bosses are suppose to die since they invoked Odin's wrath 😄

[celest flume]

In both cases, I hate the light color....

[sonic musk]

You have a huge problem. The amount of resin needed for a huge base is massive. So you need a huge solution. That's why. If you try the normal method, of simply cutting trees and hunting greydwarves, you will run out or deforest. So there is a sustainable method, but you don't like it.

[trim folio]

that's literally the reason for my suggestion????

wtf are u on about lmao i cant

[wanton atlas]

I mean..

Oaks are farmeable

[royal lily]

Is valheim a building simulator or

[trim folio]

for many it is yes

[wanton atlas]

cut down oak, replant oak, attatch thingy to tree, passive resin income

[royal lily]

Well youre wrong you work for Odin to kill the bosses. Its great we get to have castles, then maintain that castle. Thats how it works in real life?

[trim folio]

thank you for understanding the suggestion

[sonic musk]

Just feels a bit lazy is what I'm getting at. You have a real working solution, but you throw it out the window and say "I want it this way instead" as if the other method is invalid

[wanton atlas]

if you can't agree, you can always have diffrent points of views and that's fine

[royal lily]

Plant trees? Theres are so many options. I can not fathom running out of resin if you actually play. And if you mod, just spawn it in?

[wanton atlas]

I see what the issue are

[trim folio]

im losing braincells here, thankfully the devs can look at the suggestion and think about how it'd better the game itself lmao

[wanton atlas]

<-- developer

[sonic musk]

I understand them running out. It makes sense. They have a huge base lit only by resin torches. That would deplete anyone's supply.

[royal lily]

This would have to be a rpg based dedicated with a massive castle where thats what theyre doing. In that sense i can see it. But in that case turn it on to 3x. We dont need more resin therefore bad suggestion

[trim folio]

you dont need more resin therefore bad suggestion

actually delusional

[wanton atlas]

what you mean is a better way to get ALOT of rescin

[royal lily]

Yes tapping trees so we all have 3 bm chests of resin is a great idea. I cant wait for them to definitely put it in the game

[wanton atlas]

else you could basicly end up in your entire time ingame just cutting trees to have all the cool lightning going 😄

[royal lily]

They already spend their entire game in their stone prison?

[trim folio]

yes thank you

[trim folio]

why are u so offended by a suggestion

[royal lily]

Im literally not

[trim folio]

i spend a lot of time building nice things, that's how a lot of people enjoy the game that there's channels dedicated to it, so what are you on about implying that being home a lot of the time is crazy?

[royal lily]

They usually have 3x resources or one of the of the other options

[trim folio]

i made a suggestion that makes sense to have in the game that serves a lot of players, i dont base my view on suggestions as "never had issue with it, therefore bad suggestion" cause im not the main character and realize there's a lot of ways to play the game

[trim folio]

i like to play the game as intended

[rose swan]

What’s going on in here? 🥤 🍿

[royal lily]

So kill the bosses? Im out

[spiral ice]

I think people who do this generally use the console and mods. And the console can be used to replenish all loaded light sources.

[trim folio]

if the entire point of the game is to kill the bosses then explain why there are so many build pieces

[royal lily]

Oh my goodness .

[wanton atlas]

sadly. I have to leave you now. sleeptime in here. but please don't fight

[strange walrus]

Hello!

Hmmm, I see it (resin tappers) as nice addition, it doesn't have to be cheap solution, as it makes getting resin easier - passive

However I would need to kind of switch for a moment to another topic 😅 I wonder, why vanity slots (visuals of armour which are instead of armour which you wear to have it's advantages) received so many dislikes compared to likes? Why is it a bad idea? On certain stages of game people in team can look kind of the same (if they have the same idea) and introducing vanity slots (like in Terraria for example) could let players add some flavour to their characters, mix armours for the appearance, without losing armour points or perks ☺️ what do you think?

[trim folio]

you can not fathom the idea of people playing different than you, it's insane

[royal lily]

No i said idk how you could run out of resin. Good luck with your tappers

[trim folio]

that is clearly because u dont play the game the same way i do and i can respect that but u obviously cant

[royal lily]

🙄

Yes I have never played with a builder in 6 thousand hours

[trim folio]

are u lurking the channel to just be passive aggressive over suggestions u think are dumb cause they dont serve ur own playstyle?

[royal lily]

U can respond to anyone else or not?

[spiral ice]

@solemn moon #suggestions message
If this change were made, the new functionality would need to be mapped to the new input (e.g. scroll hotbar with Ctrl+mouse wheel). Switching long-standing functionality to something new would be extremely frustrating to current players.

[royal lily]

Sorry you dont like my feed back. The suggestion was bad. Youre not a bad person for it.

[trim folio]

you had no constructive feedback, it was just 'half the ppl never had this problem so idc'

[royal lily]

Sure buddy

[spiral ice]

I think the best thing to do is accept that someone didn't like your idea and move on. @royal lily appears to be fine with dropping the argument and going forward. This discussion won't help anyone and won't add anything to the channel.

@trim folio And obviously, you're welcome to post all your ideas. Nobody is saying you shouldn't. 🙂

[trim folio]

i think the best thing to do is look at the intent of a suggestion and think about what it adds to the game and not about whether u need it the way u play the game or not.

[spiral ice]

Kedoke.

[royal lily]

#suggestions message pretty cool idea. I would like to get rid of using the hammer if possible

[trim folio]

#suggestions message it's true, i only use holstering for aesthetic purposes at this point lmao

[royal lily]

#suggestions message cool idea, I imagine an epic fight where you have to scale terrain to jump onto the monster to melee him

[stuck lark]

Calling lantern ugly is a hot take ngl

I always sawp any torches I have with them when I get to that level

[trim folio]

their lighting isn't as warm or bright

that's not an opinion, it's just how they are

[stuck lark]

Doesn't have to be so bright to be good

[trim folio]

no it doesnt

and that's not their only flaw as i said

[stuck lark]

What other flaw lanterns have

[trim folio]

they're not a good source of light, u can compare them in game with a sconce and see for urself

[stuck lark]

What makes a good source of lighting to you ? To me lanterns and wsip torches are much better looking and don't have to worry about them running out , I still use some torches using both can give an even better look and I already tested all of the lighting before

[trim folio]

lanterns are dimmer, less warm, and they cause some flare effect that makes it hard to see behind or around them. It's like they light themselves instead of their surroundings and it's not as pleasant on the eyes

mist torches are cold and remove any cozy feeling from a build

i've done multiple builds, whether it's villages, forts, interiors etc and tried every lighting on them

i tried mist ones and it didnt feel like a comforting 'home' anymore so i replaced them with lanterns and it felt like just street lights that didn't actually offer anything in terms of visibility

sconces are where it's at

wisp torches are made to remove the mist rly, or if ur using them in builds for a very specific aesthetic

[stuck lark]

Best thing to light interior is Hanging brazier ngl if you are looking for something warm then you should look at campfires or hearths not not torches and the Hanging brazier or iron fire pit (both doesn't need resin just need to find a proper placement for them ) , also I don't really think wisps torchs give a cold effect just a calm one instead and could be combined with other light sources to give more unique effect

[stuck lark]

And in general lighting isn't really a problem either to me at least I am mostly wearing the wisp light even outside of the mistlands all the time unless I need to carry something but I could solve that with moder power ( or temporary using the belt)

This topic is really mostly based on each person opinion and what they like it's not something anyone would agree or disagree with

[trim folio]

i use hearths and iron pits too when it's appropriate, and yea lighting is a preference ofc, just the lanterns may not be as effective as the devs actually intended- that's the reason i mentioned them as an alternative

appreciate the more civil conversation as opposed to 'imagine ever running out of resin, u must be doing smth wrong lmao bad suggestion' (not pointing any fingers )

[umbral spindle]

its not intended but i saw that surtling trophies or brenna can be a DIY light

[stuck lark]

I do feel the pain of builders who doesn't use the console mode or not playing with x3 recourses or using mods (forever light or something called ) just some people wanna play the game it's because they like it for what it already is , I see most people I play with always end up suggesting adding the forever light mod even though I even though I am not a huge fan of it xD

Filling the torches give the feeling of a vibe I can't explain

[stuck lark]

I always suck at finding trophies for those guys xD

Even sometimes I find like a triple spawner for them

[trim folio]

that's the thing, i suggested an optional passive way of resin generation (that also fits the game and is very reasonable) for those who need it and the responses i got were people telling me how to cheese a lot of resin using greydwarf spawns or people who don't build a lot acting like having more resin than they know what to do with makes them better players and they feel the need to express it

[umbral spindle]

i like using dvergr lanterns when i can because they don't go out but they don't always fit the theme and it doesnt take me walking very far away for them to just disappear from view for some reason as well as the light they provide. why do they pop in like that?

[stuck lark]

Kinda agree for something that you craft is expensive and you get in late game wish there was a way to make it have a stronger lighting effect with the same effect of not running out of fuel but I guess I would be asking for too much xD

[trim folio]

my suggestion would be bad if i was like 'please make greydwarves drop 3 times the resin' cause that would cater to my playstyle only like some people expect the game to do

[stuck lark]

Idk what's even your suggestion

Let me look at it

[umbral spindle]

i like the suggestion personally. it makes sense and fits the game

[trim folio]

the welcoming committee flooded in showing off how much extra resin a proper player should have lmao

even when a dev said it could actually work

thing about resin is it depends on where you build too, like if u build in the forest with little fortifications and are constantly smacking greydwarves like bugs then ur gonna have an infinite supply, but if u build in the plains there's no resin there unless u go out of ur way to get it

[stuck lark]

What if you could squeeze trophies for resin something like the obliterate but for resin

[umbral spindle]

it also kind of adds an interesting trade off. for example, in real life birch trees do get tapped. you could think, "do i want this fine wood or do i wanna keep this birch tree around to tap?"

[stuck lark]

This way you could have another use for trophies

[trim folio]

i do always have a lot of chests dedicated to trophies tbh but that's mostly cause of the variety rather than the amount

[umbral spindle]

i keep trophies if i dont have it or if its in the bait recipes or an armor or some such

i keep every drake trophy because theyre so uncommon

regardless, i'm getting away from the channel scope. i think a way like tapping for more resin or any way like that to get more would just be a good thing

[stuck lark]

I always collect everything , if it's useless or useful , I am a Horder at heart xD

Even buke berries

[trim folio]

yea if anything's at excess i just throw them in barrels that also serve as decor

the only stuff i obliterate is wooden/leather gear

[stuck lark]

What u feeling about guck torches though? They feel like a worse pain to collect

Only renewable from abomination

[trim folio]

i don't even use guck or dwarf eye ones

u can actually collect guck from swamp trees, the ones that have green stuff on them- u just climb up and hit the guck with a pickaxe

but it's inefficient too and tbh that could also use extractors

[stuck lark]

yea I know that but that requires to build up and make stairs up for every tree

And they are one time harvest I am pretty sure

[trim folio]

yea thankfully it's not needed in much and i just ignore that the torches even exist

[stuck lark]

Yea that's why I never made another build with only guck torches

[umbral spindle]

i use the dwarf eye blue standing braziers if i use a light with those

[stuck lark]

As if only the iron using it isn't enough xD

[stuck lark]

I love those too much too I am kinda a fan of blue and green in general but the eyes are used for so many important thing that I always run out of them

[umbral spindle]

i have more now that i'm further past the mountains and i use less portals

[stuck lark]

At least the blueberry picking travels help me sustain my eye stock

[stuck lark]

In my solo world I try to put a portal in very island or continent so I can travel anywhere and everywhere when I need to (want to fill up the map and explore everything but in same time I don't want to do that in case new POI came out or something )

[sonic musk]

guck tree extractors is an idea I can get behind. I love the swamps, so more reason to go to the swamps is a great idea to me. And green torches look evil, I like to use green torches to convey danger

[royal lily]

The guck trees are fungus infested trees i believe, it would make sense if they regenerated until it ate the tree

[ocean osprey]

It would be cool if they added bags to increase the inventory space, upgraded as you progress trough the biomes. Could have some bags/backpacks with special effects, like a lantern for example.

I don’t know how to tell you this

That’s probably one of the most requested changes to the game. Unfortunately, the answer looks like it’s going to be a no.

[safe dove]

That would be great in the Ashlands as well, with charcoal resin actually being more tedious to get.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a use in red standing torches, which would be awesome, but it would be nice for it to be a bit easier to get for pottery.

[lofty wave]

but charcoal resin isn't consumed by anything

it's only used in pots which can be deconstructed

[safe dove]

It’s mostly for consistency if sap extractors were added. You probably wouldn’t ever need to use them on ash wood trees, but you could.

[peak bronze]

Purple fire for charcoal resin? 👀

Would be cool.

[rose swan]

That would be really cool!

Honestly I wouldn’t be bummed if charcoal resin was dropped by twitchers if it were used as a consumable fuel source 🤔

[royal lily]

I do refer to them as glorified greylings when I am hyperbolically being macho in the ashlands

[peak bronze]

Or if sap extractor could be used on trees to get resin/charcoal resin etc.

[shadow crow]

I accidentally called them tweakers instead of twitchers but it amused me so much that’s just their name now

[rose swan]

Maybe, but to me those trees seem dead, so it would be weird for them to be fruitful

[peak bronze]

Yet they drop it sometimes when cut.

[safe dove]

The swamp trees with guck are also clearly dead, but if guck become extractable from them, then I see no reason to be barred from extracting charcoal resin.

[royal lily]

Dead stuff is food for fungi which is i believe what guck is

[rose swan]

I’ve always imagined guck to be like a living goo or algae or something, but I haven’t paid much attention to it

another poorly worded typo lol

[royal lily]

I think im jumping to conclusions actually. I saw on a world gen screen shot that they are called infested something. I think i assumed infested meant fungi

[peak bronze]

*Paid.
-# Sorry for noticing another typo.

[languid ibex]

What makes you say that? The developers asked the community how they wanted inventory expanded.

[rose swan]

Agreed, was wondering the same thing 🤔

[safe dove]

Really? I didn’t know that. That’s fantastic to hear!

I only started paying attention to this stuff a few weeks ago, I just played the game before without paying much attention to the active development. It’s huge that they’re expanding inventory.

[rose swan]

To be clear, we don’t know that for certain! All we know is that the devs have asked the communities what they would like to see if the inventory was addressed. So it’s on their radar.

[boreal sky]

I think a request to join option for community servers would be wonderful

[safe dove]

I am an ardent defender of a pouch system then. A craftable item that you keep in your inventory and can equip for more storage space, not replacing your utility slot (strength belt/wisp light). You could utilize some of the under utilized items to craft them, like boar trophies for their tusks or bones to help craft a pouch. There can be upgrades as you progress, using wolf teeth. There could be something silly such as using a leech trophy for the swamp pouch, it’s dried out, but if you look closely you can see you’re shoving items into a leech head.

[rose swan]

Yeah, I’d say a fair amount of users would enjoy something like that. Personally, I find that to be a bit much and a bit of an over correction. I think a simple UI where you can equip armor is the most intuitive direction.

But we will have to wait and see what they do

[wet drift]

For a less extreme version of this #suggestions message
maybe allow overleveling, where a skill could go higher than 100, but only have the effects of 100.

I have no stake in this. I'd never go to 100 anyway.

[marsh radish]

That's what I thought their name was at first so I call them that too 😭 😭

[umbral spindle]

my recent suggestion is less what i want and more what i wanna see others deal with. it'd be funny

[ember lily]

I feel like there's a reason they don't have starred versions

[lofty wave]

they're too tanky to get stars. I don't mind the damage but stars give some enemies too much health

[umbral spindle]

same health, different attacks perhaps

or the 2 star can just one shot. not sure. it wont get in the game anyway

[ember lily]

I rlly need those charred bone stacks

[rose swan]

Would love to have a charred bone pile

[ember lily]

I think I got more than 2k of those, you just get so many in the ashlands

[royal lily]

soft tissue pile

[shadow crow]

That’s called dvergr 🤣 🤣

[serene wing]

I would pay actual money to add leads to Valheim

[wanton atlas]

what is leads?

[serene wing]

Like the leash thingies in Minecraft

[wanton atlas]

so why don't call it a leash?

[lofty wave]

they're the same thing

[wanton atlas]

no?

[marsh radish]

A lead is normally what you call the piece that attaches to a horse's bridle to lead them with. Leashes are more for dogs/smaller animals :) A matter of semantics

[wanton atlas]

[wintry bobcat]

@subtle matrix fins of destiny are actually pretty goated for its use cases, so far its my favorite trinket

Also the idea of wet immunity has been floated many times, but it just seems a bit strong / negating a big gameplay aspect especially that early on

[rose swan]

#suggestions message Huh, never realized there were cases where the spelling is different
I’m curious why many are opposed? Perhaps it’s intentional?
Dvergr being plural, Dverger being singular, maybe?

[royal lily]

Same, good thought too

[wintry bobcat]

Honestly pretty good suggestion, really should be standardized.

I'm just personally a fan of Dverger over Dvergr

[umbral spindle]

i dont understand the issue with my suggestion. if the words mean the same thing they should be the same i feel

if theres something i just dont know i am curious to hear though

[shadow crow]

Yeah I don’t understand the downvotes either

[royal lily]

u can have the best idea ever and it will still get downvoted i wouldnt worry about it

[rose swan]

Well, I’m going to give it my approval, just for the sake of consistency

The highest honor I can bestow… 👍

[royal lily]

I voted 👍

[stiff stag]

There's also the fact that it's just such a nothing issue that it's not even worth them considering, especially since both spellings are technically correct. Perfectly valid to downvote if you want the developers to focus their attention elsewhere.

Minor spelling errors or other mistakes also don't feel appropriate as suggestions, same with suggesting to fix bugs.

[shadow crow]

@olive epoch the dvergr aren’t friendly so much as neutral. They largely ignore our presence as if we were a stray dog (except for an enterprising brother and sister who just try to swindle us out of our gold). So not having chain lightning damage them isn’t really what devs envisioned. At least based on the previous discussion about this

[wanton atlas]

They are basicly in Valheim to loot, pillage and fool a viking or 2 if they can 😄

[coral rivet]

I guess the downside to Magic weapons is that they're destructive, potentially inadvertently reckless, too.

[olive epoch]

I just had a situation where I was fighting off a crowd of undead in the ashlands, and my lightning randomly jumped to some dwarves passing by, who also had stars above their heads, and I was instantly blown away by two shots. This isn't exactly what I planned, and thank goodness I wasn't playing on hardcore, but it was a bit of a shame to die from a dwarve who wasn't even my goal. On the other hand, it adds a bit of chaos and interesting cases. Overall, it was my job to suggest something, and what the developers do is their choice and vision of the game. Sorry if anything is unclear, I don't speak English and am writing through Google Translate.

[safe dove]

Elkor, do you mean an atgeir?

If so, I'm right there with you, though unfortunately many of the missing weapons are intentional, and we don't know we'll get on release. I personally hope there will only be one biome level weapon missing per weapon type (after said weapon becomes craftable), but whatever happens happens.

IE after a weapon type becomes craftable, it will only be skipped over once.

[rose swan]

I still don’t see how the Dvergr are scamming us 😅
Maybe this means I’m an easy target lol

[shadow crow]

🤷‍♀️ I’m just repeating the last discussion

They do charge an inordinate price for eggs, though.

[rose swan]

Yeah, I’ll concede that their egg prices are outrageous haha

[royal lily]

It is advantageous for them to let us give them money and protection but their goals do not involve anything altruistic iir

[rose swan]

Yee, they’re in Valheim doing their thing

✉️

[royal lily]

#suggestion-discussion message Hildir basically 😂😂

[rose swan]

Hildir quest is basically the same as this scam LOL

[marsh radish]

Thinking about the earlier conversation too, I had no idea Dverger's are viewed so low by players 😂 They always save my skin. I run to them when I need help. They're workers and travelers who have built things with their own hands and mgaic

[rose swan]

I really like them, I think they are really interesting and add a lot to the setting. I wish there was just a wee bit more to them, but they’re really neat as is
(Not hiring them lol)

[royal lily]

oops i meant to link the scam not your comment XD

[royal lily]

Don't be fooled, they'd probably mine our skulls for some power too XD

[rose swan]

Dvergr will find your entrails and use them for sausage

Huh, I’m sitting at 43 suggestions thus far 🤔

[languid ibex]

Damn, I need to get my numbers up

[arctic wharf]

Mine been down since the wipe, and I have far from enough fresh ideas to keep suggesting. Not really anything else I could even imagine that I would truly hope to see that hasn't been suggested before.

[wintry bobcat]

@umbral spindle I agree blood magic levelling needs to be improved, but I don't think simply summoning a skeleton or casting a bubble should give xp. That is also NOT how other items work

If you fire a crossbow, swing a mace, throw a spear, block with a shield, etc. you don't get any xp. You only get xp if you actually hit an enemy (or an enemy hits you).

Similar to blood magic, skeletons give xp when hitting something, and blood bubble gives xp when something hits you

[umbral spindle]

i mean that sounds like misconstruing what i meant. i mean usage as intended so when i say using an item i mean hitting something with it

but also you sacrifice hp when you cast and casting is magic. blood magic. i feel like that should give xp even if it's a little less than skeletons hitting something or your bubble breaking

[wintry bobcat]

I'm not sure what you mean then, I feel like blood magic does level from intended usage other than the bubbles levelling your friends

It's just slow and needs a buff

[wintry bobcat]

Doesn't seem much more significant than the stamina or eitr you spend on other items attacks, to me

[analog moss]

Hmm, anyone recall if the caster gets blood magic xp when someone breaks your Skelett's bubble?

[umbral spindle]

they get the xp, not you

[analog moss]

but skelett's don't get xp.

[wintry bobcat]

No one gets the xp

[umbral spindle]

even still, the caster doesn't get it

[analog moss]

You get the xp when your skeletts attack something

darn

[umbral spindle]

all i'm saying is that using your blood to cast a spell is by definition blood magic so why wouldn't the act itself give just a little xp. i used my own essence to raise a skeleton but oops it doesn't count because he hasn't hit someone

[wintry bobcat]

Imo the problem is that bubble levelling is too slow because it only triggers on break and only for YOU. Would at least be better if any bubble that you created gave XP on break

And skelett levelling is slow bc they die very quickly in regular gameplay, even with shields on. Maybe they need to be a tad tankier?

[analog moss]

by the same logic then, shooting ice into the air would grant xp.

[wintry bobcat]

Shooting ice and using your own eitr to do it is indeed elemental magic

[languid ibex]

If it needs adjusting, it can just be done by adding to how much it grants currently. Adding newer confounded methods just overcomplicates imo.

[umbral spindle]

its not confounded. its confounded as it is

i'm just saying it could follow the same way literally everything in the game does already

[languid ibex]

It does, on hit grant experience.

[analog moss]

exactly

[wintry bobcat]

That's what you're saying for putting shields on other people.

But it's not what you're saying for getting xp on item activation

[analog moss]

because the bubble is defensive, the 'hit' has to come from an enemy.

[umbral spindle]

ok well, why is it so hard to think that doing the magic would get you better at the magic as the act itself?

[languid ibex]

It's not the experience for that, its the experience for the combat styles.

[analog moss]

it's not hard to think, but game balance comes into it. If they changed it for blood magic, they should change it for everything else.

[languid ibex]

Magic happens all the time.

It's incredibly abusable as you're suggesting as well, where the current method does require more actively being in combat.

[umbral spindle]

how does what i'm saying translate at all to making the game imbalanced? is hitting a tree with an axe and receiving appropriate skill xp imbalanced? its like the same amount

[analog moss]

that's the point we're making. 'Hitting the tree' gains xp.

[royal lily]

i dont get why blood magic increases on the shielded when the shielded didnt cast the blood magic

[analog moss]

swinging your axe in the air pretending to chop trees doesnt.

[languid ibex]

It's not far from suggesting that equipping an axe should grant axe experience because you're learning to wield it.

[analog moss]

I would guess it's extremely difficult to track the caster and grant them xp. What if they're offline?

[languid ibex]

The skill comes from combat prowess.

That translates to anyone using it.

[umbral spindle]

if you're equating this to me saying that just having an axe equipped should give axe xp you're a looney. i'm just saying that you are CASTING and having an effect on something else. your friends or your summons

[royal lily]

tru, still, doesnt really make sense game wise

[analog moss]

that's part of what we're discussing, yes.

[royal lily]

yep

[languid ibex]

I said it's not far. No need to insult me.

[analog moss]

I think one thing that would improve balance, if it could be implemented, would be xp on each hit against the bubble, not just on breaking it.

[royal lily]

why not xp per blood spent

[umbral spindle]

i'm not saying you should be able to sit around and cast the spells on nothing and get xp. my gripes are mainly at the bubble

[royal lily]

i guess thats why

[analog moss]

because you could just spam bubble on yourself without ever being in combat.

[wintry bobcat]

I thought of that too. Does feel abuseable to just go round up 20 necks though and have them chip away at your bubble

But then again, skill levelling is pretty abuseable in general if you want to abuse it, so maybe that doesn't matter much

[languid ibex]

This would be a result of what you're suggesting though.

[royal lily]

i feel like using 20 necks to level is a lil cheesy but still legit

[analog moss]

It's not much different from my current setup where I summon archers at a draugr xp farm and let the draugr break my bubble.

while the skeletts shoot them.

[royal lily]

yeah the current forms of leveling BM are already super cheese

[umbral spindle]

i mean...can't you sit in the base not in combat and level stuff like bows and swords with twig and the target?? whats the difference

[analog moss]

You can now, yes. but TWIG and target are relatively new additions.

[umbral spindle]

so it shouldnt be a problem then i feel

[languid ibex]

Blood Magic is also balanced with awareness that players acquire it later into the game, so high skill levels are a bit of a useless time sink.

[wintry bobcat]

one requires you to be in base and built the infrastructure for it (which imo, twig and target were never a good idea)

The other requiers you to have no setup and be anywhere

[royal lily]

thats also true, it is nice to train tho

[analog moss]

I would argue usefulness there. A big bubble in ashlands is a godsend.

[royal lily]

a little bubble in the ashlands is still a health gate

[umbral spindle]

if people really wanna spend time doing that, thats on them. its not fun but ok. people already sit around making greydwarf spawn traps...thats not much of anything either

[wintry bobcat]

I wouldn't say useless, but unnecessary maybe as blood magic is already strong without them

iirc skellies get triple the damage from high blood magic skill, which isn't useless

[royal lily]

i would argue the skeletons in general are absolutely worthless

[languid ibex]

The difference is the intention, utilizing a combat oriented object is still practicing combat.

[wintry bobcat]

I've been able to get decent use out of skellies. Though it definitely requiers a certain playstyle and situation

[royal lily]

teach me senapi

lvl 100 and never used them again

[umbral spindle]

actually casting the bubble onto something is what should give the xp then. raising the skeletons isn't exactly fast because of having to eat and the degradation of eitr the less time the food has left means you can't really spam that efficiently

[languid ibex]

Just breed 60 tames and cast it once, boom abuse.

[royal lily]

set up a blob behind a twig

[peak bronze]

My friend in our group used skeletts a lot during Ashlands era. She called them "The bois".

[royal lily]

most valid use so far (that ive seen)

[languid ibex]

Them rattlin' bois

[umbral spindle]

anything is better than someone else getting xp for your spell

[peak bronze]

She actually used them quite effectively, they distracted the enemies and she dealt with them.

[analog moss]

play solo and nobody ever does 🙂

[languid ibex]

You get it as well? Why would helping a friend in more than one way matter?

[royal lily]

I ran around with a good magic user for the first time and he was using all sorts of magic stuff, it seemed way, way way more busted than a few skele mobs, while I see how that play style can be fun, it seems totally overwhelmed by the other magic. I had lvl 100 and used them in an infested mine. Granted, probably the worst place to use them, but also watching them lose to boars because their swing is so slow and they get knocked back is... disheartening

[languid ibex]

Sounds like you want "the bois" buffed.

[royal lily]

Quite.

[umbral spindle]

i'm not saying its bad to help a friend. i'm just saying they didn't do any casting

you sacrifice the HP, the two food slots, etc

[languid ibex]

They did learn to use the bubble in combat. A skill in itself.

[royal lily]

yeah but i dont need BM when im in fenris using knives XD

skill tree be like 100 100 80 80 ... 2... 60 60

[languid ibex]

It doesn't hurt in any way.

[royal lily]

what im saying is it doesnt help in any way either

[languid ibex]

Everyone gains the skill.

[royal lily]

oh i didnt know that part

i thought it was just who wore the broken bubble

[languid ibex]

You cast on yourself and everyone near you.

[umbral spindle]

it just appears on them though and they continue as normal, no? i really think if they wanna learn magic they should do magic. in the ways of which you argue i will say, whats stopping people from being like i won't level the blood magic with any actual items, this person on the server will do it for me when they cast on me?

[languid ibex]

It's not a skill about learning magic though, you've learned it already. It's about combat usage.

[royal lily]

and why give me the skill if im literally never going to eat eitr

[languid ibex]

Other's might utilize it though.

[royal lily]

true, very true

[languid ibex]

Characters that are dodge and speed focused will inherently gain less from bubble experience, as it will go down less often anyways.

[royal lily]

That's a good point but still feels like a waste for the person on your team who isnt going hybrid / magic

[languid ibex]

Nothing is wasted though, its just additional across the board.

If the rate of experience is in question that could be adjusted.

[royal lily]

oh because their shield on them is stronger with their bm right

[lament zinc]

Blood magic skill levels up from every kill a summoned skelly makes.

Which is the reason why people summon skellies near a Greydwarf spawner and then let the skellies kill off the Greydwarfs. While occasionally casting the bubble around the skellies and themselves.

I've done a 4-5 hour run with my character in a pre-Early Axes world and my BM went from 1 up to 8-9 from the skellies killing every boar, neck, greydwarf and whatever I encountered during that exploratin trip.

So getting XP from casting bubbles and / or skellies isn't needed. There are already means to level BM.

[wintry bobcat]

I don't think kills affect blood magic?

Only hits

[umbral spindle]

i mean, even if you disagree with the suggestion we can all agree it needs some adjusting yeah?

[lament zinc]

Well, they need hits to kill. And it took a single skelly 3 hits to kill a normal boar.

The bottom line is: you can use your skellies to increase the BM skill.

Question is if you're willing to spend time at it. Or if you're willing to spend that same time to cast a bubble and a few skellies, then wait for the bubble to expire, jump through a portal so you can cast skellies again and so forth.

Eventually that may take just as long or even longer as when you use skellies to kill things.

[wanton atlas]

@azure helm it doesn't work like that.
water in valheim is a MEGA large plane that goes the entire world end to end, side to side

we cannot "block" it

[azure helm]

Why can't water just sploosh on the building instead of going right trough.

[wanton atlas]

performance related and also how it functions

do you understand what I mean by a "plane" ?

it's just a layer moving

a solid layer

[rose swan]

The water is a solid object- like a blanket that moves as a whole that doesn’t have physics. At least, that’s my understanding of it

If I were to guess, adding water physics would be a gargantuan task, because then you’d have to account for sooo many factors. Would probably become a performance nightmare 🤔

[safe dove]

It’s closer to a giant block of jello beneath the entire map, sometimes it shakes, but it never really “moves.”

[rose swan]

I like that, that’s a nice thought

[arctic wharf]

That would be an apt description for the mesh (the part you see)
One huge flat plane which then moves based on displacement with a height map.

• some added particle effects here and there.

Then you have one huge cube which determines the physics, and it is also effected by the height map.
The cube is known as a water volume, ans being inside it toggles the physics and so on.

.
The little lakes inside frost caves are the same thing.
Little planes for the surface to display the color and effects for us to see + another small cube water volume.
.

It's a rather simple and commonly used method for water, but it won't support much in terms of additional features.
Preventing the water from rising into your builds being one of the said features I would be extremely surprised if it was possible.

#suggestions message Not only is crafting from chests rejected, that's also not how substations/upgrade stations work/function.

[rose swan]

As time goes on, the desire for crafting from chests seems to get higher and higher 🤔
Maybe I’m just a video game boomer and don’t see why this is such a desired feature haha

[peak bronze]

Terraria.

[lament zinc]

Well, given it's a standard feature in Enshrouded (after you get a certain item) and it's a standard feature in Windrose and (I think) in Survival: Fountain of Youth....
People are getting used to it and demanding it to appear in other games too.

[rose swan]

I will concede and I say that I do indeed love this feature in Terraria 👀
BUTT I feel like I’m crafting waaay more often in Terraria, and there’s like 20x the materials lol.

[peak bronze]

Plus Terraria is faster paced game.

[stiff stag]

I feel like 20x is an understatement.

[lament zinc]

It's something that comes automatically in Windrose and I have to admit it's very easy to get used to it.

And yet, there are occasions I'm still putting items in my inventory before starting to craft things.

[rose swan]

You’re probably right
And yeah, like Joel mentioned, Terraria is definitely faster paced as well, so that’s indeed a factor

[coral rivet]

The crafting recipe is at the same place you craft it in Valheim. (Hammer, Forge, Workbench)
The crafting recipe is not at the same place you craft it in Terraria. (Talk to the Guide)
This means one less step in the creation process, I think Valheim does not need "crafting-from-chests"

[stiff stag]

I think the main thing preventing it in valheim is that the developers want you to at least be involved in processes and tasks in some way. Crafting from chests would essentially mean no longer needing to engage in proper inventory/storage management. Just dump whatever you have wherever you want and access it all at a nearby work station, no need to even try to take the time sorting. It's something that fits as a good qol mod, but not part of the base game's design and intent.

[rose swan]

Oh that’s actually a good point. Would really detract from the storage upgrades you get as you progress. What’s the point of getting black metal chests if you can just shove everything in basic wooden chests and forget about it?

Especially considering how Valheim really leans into how your base kinda upgrades with you as you get stronger yourself.

[stiff stag]

Crafting in terraria is also already based on your proximity to a given work station. You can interact with individual work stations but you don't need to to access the crafting menu. So accessing resources from chests based on proximity fits really well with that system.

[peak bronze]

I personally enjoy the building aspect and having all my loot in order, which is why I build large chest shelves.

As an American, I know at least 3 people who would fall for that.

[lament zinc]

Well, like I said earlier this week: "As the great philosopher Forrest Gump once said: 'Stupid is, stupid does.' "

And apparently some people are so obsessed with making money, they will take any opportunity to make do so.
Even if that means they will risk a lot.

[runic plover]

Not like us Americans can afford to do otherwise, but that's not a discussion for this channel.

[wanton atlas]

@ember lily the issue is that MR.beast actually did some money giveaways before. hence the scam continues on that

[ember lily]

Yeah

[rose swan]

Super agree with this by the way (to steer things back lol)
I think managing the logistics of base layouts is a really immersive aspect of Valheim, and it would be a shame for this to be boiled down to nothing more than a “QoL feature” in the from of a UI. It’s the same reason I like the fuel mechanic, structural stability, comfort, etc.

[peak bronze]

Heck yeah! Embrace the chest shelves!
-# One in my current world.

[royal lily]

Will accept all cart love however I feel like portals should be enough for ashlands

[stiff stag]

Yeah, the only reason to use a cart tends to be when transporting metals, but stone portals (which you gain access to in the ashlands) should remove the need for that in the biome, and portals in general cover any other materials you want/need to take back with you.

[supple grove]

In immersive you have no portals.

[royal lily]

Cool, upvoting

[stiff stag]

Immersive mode is not the base gameplay, so that's nothing to go on at all. What use or need would such a cart have in the normal/base gameplay that stone portals don't already cover better?

[supple grove]

I'm not sure if a better cart would help in non-immersive gameplay. I can't see how it hurts it. I played immersive mode and had a blast but the Ashlands experience was dominated by carts catching on fire and rebuilding them. If the developers want to offer an immersive option, then they probably care about the gameplay of that mode.

[royal lily]

Sorry that was vernacular, I changed the wording.

I also think the game was meant to be played without portals 🤔🤔

[stiff stag]

Given how often you have to dump stuff off, the game would feel fairly unplayable without portals because the vast majority of your time would be wasted manually travelling large distances (especially the further out you go such as later game with mistlands, ashlands, and deep north being on/near the outer edges of the world) over areas you've already explored and gone through dozens of times. I highly doubt there was ever a time where portal travel wasn't meant to be used at all, and even if there were it surely got corrected fairly quickly. The only previous state of portals I know of is that Smiffe mentioned you could only build them at specific locations, or it was planned for that to be the case, so even then portals were an intended system to be utilized and a part of how the game was meant to be played.

[royal lily]

I think there was, I could be wrong, still, the option is there, it's immersive, and I don't think it was a bad suggestion. I do call the ram the super cart or something like that.

[rose swan]

My hottest take is that portals are too strong, and should require a forge to be constructed 👀

[stiff stag]

Nothing about portals is all that strong though. They don't detract from exploration since you can't set up portals in places you haven't already gone to yet (and once you do get portals set up, you're just skipping over areas you've already explored anyway). They don't allow metals through by default, so you still have to manually travel back with some of the more valuable hauls. And they are largely there to massively cut down on needless bloated travel time dumping off materials so you can get back into the action ASAP. The only negative I can think of is that you can use them as a get out of jail free card whenever you're in danger, and that's something that would be worth addressing in a way that doesn't negatively impact their utility and convenience for their non-problematic uses.

[fast void]

Portal fine.
Stone Portal shouldn't exist though.

[runic plover]

Back to the subject of carts, I could imagine one made with black metal being useful in plains. Perhaps less hindered by high weight and takes to slopes better. Haul one around as you're raiding villages so you don't need to take multiple trips bringing stuff back.

[stiff stag]

I could see plains as being a more appropriate place to obtain a sturdier cart, just not ashlands since that's also when you gain access to stone portals, essentially removing the need for carts altogether at that point.

[rose swan]

Could take tar and iron nails, make it a darkwood cart 🤔

I’m a cart hater though lol but I wouldn’t be opposed

[royal lily]

Mechanical springs and eitr for power up hills

[rose swan]

Was just about to mention mechanical springs, a cart with shocks
Pimp my cart!

[runic plover]

That's good, yeah.

[safe dove]

An ashwood cart reinforced cart would be welcome. It doesn't even need more storage space, just hp. Love the spring idea though.

Something that doesn't catch fire when firespread is enabled would be good, and since you don't really need the cart for the mistlands, definately being useful for hauling flametal to your ashlands outpost from the spires you mine it, a new cart being an Ashlands grade item would be welcome.

[rose swan]

I’ll be honest, dragging a cart around in the Ashlands (and honesty, kinda anywhere lol) sounds like a frustrating headache lol. Imagine trying to keep that thing from getting destroyed 😅
And for what? Painfully dragging flametal around? Even in no portals mode, I feel like it would be way easy to do the ole’ rat pot and troll mead method.

Not like you need a whole lot of flametal anyways for all the armaments 🤔

[safe dove]

It is a pain. That’s why my Viking OD’s on 5 different potions in his wolf pajamas and lucky belt to drag an entire pillar’s worth of metal back home.

[rose swan]

I think the best use for carts is as an immersive base transport option. Say you have a dock, and maybe 30/50 meters inland is your forge. Cart could be nice to move metal from a voyage, on a nice flat lit road.

[supple grove]

I never found the Bog Witch in my immersive playthough (no map). I had to use the cart. The pain wasn't so much carting the flametal out, rather it was carting in all the stone to make raised earth bunkers to sleep in.

[rose swan]

Hmm interesting 🤔
Would it not have been easier to collect stone in the field? Or perhaps utilize a cave as shelter?

[supple grove]

You get mostly grausten from ashlands rock, not stone. Putrid holes are great for resting in (you can build a camp fire in them) but you can't build a bed in them so you can't sleep in them. Being in no portal mode means you don't want to be too far from your bed in case you die.

[rose swan]

Ahh right, I see.
For the putrid holes, can’t you put a bed in the outside of the dungeon to get the shelter buff so you can rest?

And yeah, I imagine dying in the Ashlands and not respawning there… would be nearly a run killer haha

[royal lily]

I miss so much stuff that drops in ash, would be cool to have an option to miserably get it all

Or not miserably if you are an expert carter

Imagine the bone catacombs you could make with all the bones you never keep 😭

[supple grove]

Yeah, you could probably put a bed right on the entrance. My minimum was small square room of raised ground, hearth, workbench, stonecutter, chest, and a black marble block at the entrance that I have to jump over. Even then, a morgan or blob could wreck things.

[barren oasis]

I think stone portal should be the default because taking your boat between the same path you've already explored isn't any fun

Well it's fun sometimes. But after enough time it's annoying

[fast void]

You mean... the "no restriction on portals" WORLD OPTION? 👀

[barren oasis]

If I put more thought into it I'd keep base portals the same, but make stone portals available earlier

[fast void]

Remove Stone entirely so the world option actually has meaning.

[supple grove]

Playing without portals really gives you a feeling of distance and commitment. There's no better feeling than, after grinding in the ashlands for a week, getting on a Drakkar and heading for blue sea.

[rose swan]

Must’ve been such a bad ass moment, taking Faders severed head all the way back to spawn. True Viking moment.

What was your strategy for finding the infested citadel?

[supple grove]

When you sail back you pass all of your earlier bases. I land at my home continent right when the sun was setting so it made it kind of sad.

[supple grove]

I found my first infested mine vegvisir in the south center of the map near the ashlands sea. It was pointing West by Northwest. You basically have to travel in that rough direction making landmarks and sailing across continents to new continents. If the new continent is a mistlands you have to fully explore it in case there's been some drift in your navigation. Eventually you'll find a new infested mine with a new vegvisir and then you can take a new bearing. Finding the infested citadel for the first time was a huge high point of that playthrough.

[rose swan]

Wow, that’s incredible! Thanks for sharing! You could very well be one of the very few who’s actually completed an immersive playthrough

[royal lily]

Oo oo me next!

[supple grove]

In the early part of my playthough I did a lot of surveying and made a lot of hand drawn maps. Here's my method: https://github.com/sizezero/valmap

[royal lily]

Wow

[stiff stag]

#suggestions message You already can with Haldor and Hildir, and that's the point, those two are outliers in that regard, the rest of the dvergr have no interest in engaging in trade by design. It's like in real life, you don't go to random people and ask to buy or trade for their groceries and possessions when they have no intent to do so, you go to a store or vendors that are open to selling or trading goods and buy from them.

[wanton atlas]

indeed. you litterally have 2 Dvergr traders and one wierd character in the swamps 🤔

[shadow crow]

Two weird characters in the swamp 🧹

[peak bronze]

[stiff stag]

#suggestions message training with a knife (or any given type of weapon) naturally wouldn't make you skilled with some other type of weapon. The suggestion is just needlessly reductive and dumbing down the system for no good reason and would be just plain bad/poor design. 1 handed and 2 handed versions of weapons sharing the same skill is as far as it should ever go.

[warm rivet]

Maybe make one more voice channel for sharescreen if needed for help?

[fast void]

Why do people keep thinking the dverger are friendly? 😭

[shadow crow]

Because they don’t immediately try to kill us like everything else

[wintry bobcat]

Because in a sea of hostility, a lack of hostility is easily mistaken for friendliness

[shadow crow]

It’s a low bar 🤣

[fast void]

I now understand why strangers keep calling me "friend" in conversation.
Because they have lowered their bar that much...

People need to raise their standards.

[shadow crow]

You’re just our lil resident dvergr! Not openly hostile, tolerates our presence, and unleashes a hellish fury if provoked

[lofty field]

The difference between a knife and a 1h sword is no bigger than the difference between a 1h and a 2h sword

[wintry bobcat]

The animations are a fair bit different

But yeah just size changes for the weapon itself

That said I don't see a need to consolidate weapon categories. Game isn't balanced around having high skills in weapons so you can feel free to experiment, and skills level quickly anyways until you get pretty high. I swap weapons every biome and still end up getting 50+ in most skills for the weapons I use

[ivory lion]

You have to start somewhere 😄

[rose swan]

I don’t know, just sounds like you’re not being efficient in your grocery shopping.
I go door to door in my neighborhood with a pound of ground beef asking what people will offer me in return.

[eternal wyvern]

I mean don't they have dialog such as "be careful out there" and "watch out for the g'jall"? Also being friendly is not the same as being a friend.

They should have Haldor and/or Hildir unlock a new item upon defeating The Queen, I feel like it's the most appropriate boss to get new items from the Dverger traders.

[rose swan]

They can courteous, I suppose
I guess it’s a matter of semantics on whether one defines that as friendly or not 🤔
Either way, they definitely aren’t our allies

[royal lily]

The dvergr are mysterious to us pretty much all we know is they want god powers basically

[arctic wharf]

I would say they are generally friendly myself, but not overly accommodating either.
Definitely not our allies, just a neutral faction which don't see us as any immediate threat.
Easily angered too heh

[royal lily]

Anyone who wants to be that powerful has to be sketchy

[analog moss]

wouldn't we fall into that same category?

[shadow crow]

Oh we’re definitely sketchy

[arctic wharf]

not exactly power seekers though, just odin's assigned errand runners

[royal lily]

No

[fast void]

Rainsketcher.

[runic plover]

Part of the reason I think people regard the dvergr as friendly is because of the color of their health bars. They default as the same as other friendly creatures, like tamed animals and other players. In lots of other games spanning numerous genres, green is reserved for allies. I made a suggestion some time ago in an attempt to address that.

[safe dove]

People assume they're friendly because two of the three merchants are dvergr, with giant teddy bears next to them that you can pet. In the mistlands, since there are no automatically hostile dvergr, it's assumed they're friendly. Especially since they only fight when you try to stab them or destroy their home.

[fast void]

Change to yellow might be good 👍

[marsh radish]

Because they protect me from bad stuff 😂

[fast void]

They protect their own stuff. You just happen to be in the radius of their stuff.

[marsh radish]

I mean......if you attack anyone without warning, anyone would fight back. I don't see how they're not friendly. They address us directly lol

We protect our builds too

[safe dove]

Maybe if there was a mistlands raid, where the dvergr try to steal the goods you collected during your stay in Valheim, they would appear more like a neutral faction. You both sack each other's halls, but aren't necesarilly at constant war.

[ember lily]

A dvergr raid sounds rlly cool tbh

[runic plover]

Considering the damage a dvergr mage inflicts on their own stuff during combat, I dare not imagine what would happen to my base if they were actually aiming at it.

[safe dove]

Dvergr raids been reccomended before in the suggestions channel. I could see the mages being a rarer part of the raid, like the shamans are in the fuling raid. The bulk of the forces would probably be the rogues.

[runic plover]

Even the rogues could be a remarkable problem in the numbers typical of a raid. Kinda makes me wish there was a melee dvergr to fill that role.

[safe dove]

What weapon would a melee dvergr use? Their small model makes it kind of hard to see them using a non ranged weapon in combat. Probably a hammer or axe, though it would have to be downsized proportionately for them to use it. It would be funny if they still used normal sized shields, basically covering their entire body.

[shadow crow]

Berserkir axes but only one and it’s like a battle axe for them

[eternal wyvern]

I could see that happening if you've killed a Dverger in the world.

[wintry bobcat]

Would need a different rule than the other raids though. Specifically YOU killing one, not one dying in your world

[safe dove]

I would love to see a dvergr berserker running around, bear chest, twin axes in hand rushing me as I try to steal the sap extracter.

[shadow crow]

Bless their squart little hearts, they don’t have the best survival instincts

[eternal wyvern]

Yup, but I doubt IG would ever make this raid happen considering soldiers were taken out of the seeker raids lol

[safe dove]

A more fair melee dvergr to ballance out the strengths of the other variants would be a slower, heavily armored dvergr, maybe with a two handed weapon.

I'm pretty sure the devs have been clear that they don't want to make the oceans more dangerous than they already are. It's a really cool idea, but it's probably going to have to stay as a mod.

[shadow crow]

#suggestions message
the game HAS a kraken

[safe dove]

It's not a kraken, it's a crab.

[lament zinc]

It's neither. It's a Leviathan.

[ivory lion]

Then we need mermaids ;p

[peak bronze]

Kraken as ocean boss - no thank you.

Ocean surely needs some more content but not boss IMO.

[wintry bobcat]

Unless she was referring to necks. Those fellas are quite terrifying

[shadow crow]

Ocean boss = Neckzilla!

Don't forget the Seals! They may come ashore in the Deep North, but they're most likely hunting for their food anywhere.

[wintry bobcat]

But but seals are cute

[shadow crow]

They’re awfully cute. But unfortunately they’re made of meat.

[stiff stag]

Melee dvergr should use black metal pickaxes, which will also allow them to tear down terrain walls.

[rose swan]

That would be super cool, huge fan of having a melee focused Dvergr variant 🫡
Would love to see aggressive Dvergr as well.

[royal lily]

Any reason more to kill them and im on board

might be a fun read for you, one of my favorite suggestions actually

[royal lily]

How do I up vote twice

[rose swan]

Let me know when you find out

[shadow crow]

I upvoted on your behalf

[crimson ermine]

im of the opinion every biome should have some kind of special quest weapon

lord reto is too cool to only do once imo

[royal lily]

Idk what the word is but lore stuff and world feel stuff like bog witch/ side quests -- i would also love in valheim

[shadow crow]

Maybe not every biome but I do enjoy alternate quests like that

[crimson ermine]

i mean you could even make the existing hildir quest bosses drop a way to make something with their trophies or something

[crimson ermine]

well id exclude the meadows since i feel the early axes fits the bill

i just wish there was some kind of exploration thing in every biome

doesnt even have to be a weapon. could be like a new build material, crop, food, armor, trinket, utility, whatever

[lofty wave]

we need a neck miniboss for early axes

[shadow crow]

But then we’d have to kill it

[crimson ermine]

we could be like that guy who said necks arent in the poetic edda thus they should be tameable

[lofty wave]

after enough damage it could drop the axes and also become a tamed neck

[crimson ermine]

i dont think we need a neck boss, i just wish necks had a purpose. the neck tails arent very good for food in their biome, and the only other things you can do with them are minced meat sauce and poison resist potions. i brew the pots for bonemass then never use again and id like another use for neck tails

[lofty wave]

why do you want to need to kill more necks

[crimson ermine]

dunno, i guess i like mobs having a use that feels useful 🤷‍♂️

like ghosts forever were useless. then twig came in for skill training which was cool

[eternal wyvern]

You need it for poison resistance and some food afaik

[crimson ermine]

thats what i said. minced meat sauce and poison pots

[coral rivet]

Necks are like the lil newts and salamanders you find in real streams, just with larger back legs. I dont see a lore to them regarding forsaken, really...
They live close to rivers, and dont fight very hard, but boy are the Necks cute and stubborn

[lofty wave]

minced meat should be bear instead now

[crimson ermine]

yes, give bear meat a use lol

[eternal wyvern]

I think that's good enough tbh, it is a meadows creature so..

[crimson ermine]

doesnt need to be relevant past BF or swamp. but deer/boars stay relevant for a little bit so i was wanting something like that

[royal lily]

U use poison mead in mistlands tho

[crimson ermine]

well ok for queen yes

[royal lily]

You do

[crimson ermine]

nvm im dumb queen needs them ignore my entire argument

[eternal wyvern]

and I run mistlands with minced meat sauce

[coral rivet]

Cooked Neck Meat, too! cant forget it

[royal lily]

Still too much for scales

[coral rivet]

Or is it "grilled" 🤔

[crimson ermine]

now how about instead of necks being useless, i complain about fenrings and bats. SO USEFUL that it drops... a wolf fang or leahter scrap

fenrings not dropping fenris hair pisses me off

and bats exist to kill my open air animal pens

[eternal wyvern]

The wolf fang is just ragebait, also fenrings are not fenris himself so they wouldn't drop the hair lol

[crimson ermine]

i realize that, but they should at least drop something other than a wolf fang

also bats dont even have a trophy which also pisses me off

[lofty wave]

they don't even have a ragdoll which is a shame because they take more knockback than any other creature

[eternal wyvern]

oh. my. god that would be so much fun

knocking them across the caves

[lofty wave]

next time you get a bat raid use a wood weapon if you can

[crimson ermine]

wooden club meta

[lofty wave]

wood polearm secondary has the best knockback

[coral rivet]

Vivid flashback to having no weapons, trying to sail back to my corpse from a swamp. Wooden club did fend off them leeches lol

Back to suggestions, I do think Dvergr are in a good place right now. Maybe rogues need a bit of a better melee attack

[crimson ermine]

personally i think their problem in the ashlands isnt them, its their structures. too open air imo (also would be hilarious to give them ballistas or similar)

[coral rivet]

Ah, I misread. For some reason I thought the suggestion said, Mistlands' Dvergrs
They definitely need a slightly more fortified base in Ashlands imo

[lofty wave]

player crossbows have 200 knockback, the dvergr crossbows only have 30

[supple grove]

Even a small tweak would help dvergrs in the ashlands. Just making them fireproof (wearing some kind of askvin armor) would make them stick around a little longer. As it is, the dvegr forts get wiped out really quickly.

[crimson ermine]

when the firebomb rain happens, the dvergr forts just implode. they should at least not do that lol

[wintry bobcat]

@lapis sail Ashlands dvergr already have buffed stats, I think their damage is that of a 2 star mistlands dvergr

They just need to not pathfind into lava

[supple grove]

That's almost as good as fireproofing them. I'm not sure which one is easier for the devs to implement.

[arctic wharf]

Honestly the dverger in the ashlands should for sure be elites kitted out for the region with fire immunity 😂
Silly how poorly they fare there.

[rose swan]

Dvergr clad in heavy flametal plate

[shadow crow]

Maybe the last time they visited was before Fader’s fall. They weren’t expecting the weather to be so different!

Maybe theyre just greedy and not vikings and get whats coming 😈

[barren oasis]

@lapis sail I wish they were smart enough to not run into lava

[lapis sail]

they need a better ai too great

[royal lily]

They do have sick mistlands structures. The ash ones are cool but not as built. Probably bc ash is not meant for living idk

[lapis sail]

also even stronger variant that is versatile to Ashland would have been cool

[crimson ermine]

YES! my streak of smiffe downvoting all my suggestions has not been tarnished. Its a good day to post a suggestion

[royal lily]

I wanna fight a big vile. Maybe some big pinecone too

[royal lily]

i like this

[eternal wyvern]

I'm gonna assume you meant lava immunity there, but I disagree. I think they should just not walk into it,

[arctic wharf]

Fire immunity, lava might be a bit much and I also agree they should just path better to avoid it.

[eternal wyvern]

ok mb mb

[umbral spindle]

why am i getting thumbs down just for saying a light should be visible

[safe dove]

Because it’s clearly what the devs wanted. The fact that there are items such as torches that don’t fade out at short distances make the lanterns redundant, and you should just use them instead. To say otherwise is completely reductive, and changing the lanterns would just waste dev time.

Nothing ever happens, nor should it.

[rose swan]

Nothing ever happens? What do you mean? 🤔

[royal lily]

Its a meme

[rose swan]

Ah, gotcha lol. My age betrays me again

[royal lily]

Dont be silly, youre lucky 😂

[runic plover]

I seem to also be betrayed by age. Or a lack of following memes.

[languid ibex]

Probably better to focus on the fact that 85% of the votes are positive, not everyone will be in support, and their reasoning can be virtually anything.

[rose swan]

That’s honestly pretty solid advice

[summer stratus]

I think that a Kraken boss would be cool, possibly really difficult, but I'm completely fine with that

[royal lily]

Multi longship battle rescuing refugees of broken boats while tentacles try to hit you preparing actually with vananadir yes please

[spiral ice]

If they ever add an ocean boss, the environment effect while the boss is active could be perma-tailwind (like Moder power). Then the boss spawns attacks out of the sea so you have to alternate attacking and navigating.

I think this sounds cool, but it could be very annoying in practice. 😄

[royal lily]

🎶 fun ways to di-ie🎶

[runic plover]

I feel like half the damage your boat takes in a naval boss battle would likely be your own doing. Ship hitboxes are very generous.

[ancient oyster]

I second the kraken boss idea but I would run away from it eleven times out of ten lol

[wanton atlas]

I dislike those battles in oceans mostly because how the hell do you plan to corpse run in the ocean?

Your dead, boat smashed... Good luck getting it back while a flailing boss thing slams your new boat into pieces aswell 🥲

[stone citrus]

Where there's will, there's a way

[lament zinc]

Where there's a will, there's usually a dead person and lots of family drama......

[wintry bobcat]

Sounds like a performance issue to me to increase render distance

[umbral spindle]

happens on max view distance

[wintry bobcat]

Yeah it seems the lanterns have a different internal render distance. Likely to prevent them from lagging out the game if you have a ton around your base

Imo probably not a big deal for performance to increase it, but that may be what the downvotes are for

[umbral spindle]

i see but yeah i dont want an insane distance. it just kinda sucks that it looks like there are no lights when i look from just the other side of the base

[royal lily]

Cold is for frost caves, icy is for north right? Kinda weird how mt trophy is for that biome 🤔

[peak bronze]

Yes, frosty bait will most likely change to require trophy from some Deep North mob.
Like hot bait used to require surtling trophies but since Ashlands update it now requires warrior trophy.

Cold bait used to require ulv trophies, but was changed to fenring. IMO it would be better if it was reverted.

[royal lily]

i knew i wasn't crazy and they used to be surtling!! yeah fenring trophy is like a vile trophy, which i would assume wouldnt be on the same tier for making bait (rather than an armor set). ur prob right

Yeah, apparently the idea is to get you to freak out and think you’re about to spend $1000, then the scammer gets into your account or something 🤔

My fiancé and I had a would-be scammer frantically claim we hit their car in a parking lot and said to just give them $100 and we’ll call it even 😂

[wanton atlas]

lol

[marsh radish]

Trinket or not I would LOVE to see underwater swimming

[coral rivet]

Why charred chests...? What'd be the point of them... to survive in Ashlands weather? I think the chests in the game currently suffice for that...

[safe dove]

I don't think I would want the exact same chest the charred use, but I would be down for getting an ashlands tier chest, preferably something that beats out the barrel in terms of storage for space taken up.

[wintry bobcat]

I would think it’s more for aesthetic purposes

[rose swan]

Could serve as a larger version of the personal chest 🤔

[umbral spindle]

why personal? i just like the aesthetic. could just be the same internal size of the black metal one for the player

i see some people arent liking the suggestion already 😄 i dunno why people dont want something cosmetic. its just for flavor and the model already exists

its a cool chest

i'm sure someone snarky will come in and be like, "well live in the fortress and use the already placed one"....no

[runic plover]

Personally, I wouldn't be thrilled to be unlocking a cosmetic item that late in the game if it doesn't provide some benefit over things I already have.

[safe dove]

How do you feel about the ashwood pieces? They have no advantage over standard wood. Effectively most are just cosmetic side grades.

[umbral spindle]

well if i said i wanted it to have any more space than the black metal one a bunch of people would also come out of the woodwork and complain that "erm actually it breaks the game to be able to hold so much"

so theres no winning. its not like its gonna get in the game anyway

[royal lily]

Yes it is futile to please everybody, dont worry about it

[glad cargo]

The main reason I'd like underwater swimming is to be able to get drops that fall in a deeper shore. Happens way too often in Mistlands with the damn hares

[royal lily]

Hill issue

[umbral spindle]

the simple way i can explain my suggestion is i like the chest model they've made already and i wish for a way to appreciate and use it in my base. that's all

[royal lily]

Ya its not a bad idea

[runic plover]

I was not aware ashwood pieces had the same durability as regular wood. If they do, my opinion of them will decrease. Still looks nice, though, and I want ashwood roof pieces to complete the set.

[rose swan]

Personal- because it could expand on a niche chest and have it stand out a little bit. We only have one storage item that’s capable of locking, so why not? 🤔

I think it’s a fun idea! And I do think the chest looks cool. Butt, here’s why I’m opposed, and this is just my opinion! We’re already getting reaaal close to filling up that furniture menu… there’s already some items on there that I think shouldn’t be in the game, but it’s a lot harder to remove something than it is to add.

Ultimately, I’m just really particular about what I would like to see in the furniture tab, and I think a charred chest is just a little too specific for me to adamantly want.

[rose swan]

And also, to add on- looks like your suggestion is indeed winning 🙂

[umbral spindle]

who said the furniture tab can only have one page?

[rose swan]

Smiffe has mentioned it before 🤔
But hey- if we can get more pages… I’m all for it lol

They could add more tabs, potentially. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[umbral spindle]

i would hope

[spiral ice]

This is what I was thinking while reading this discussion. I'd say there are enough kinds to justify it, with chest, iron chest, personal chest, BM chest, barrel, 3 pots, 3 presents, 3 stands, and Rocky.

[coral rivet]

It wasn't apparent that you meant it just for the aesthetic appeal. Simply stating "placeable charred chest" doesn't give many details. You could have elaborated more in the suggestion itself...

I'm going to link you a #screenshots of a design I came across in a video @umbral spindle

[wanton atlas]

underwater swimming would force us to add things under water for you to look at.
which would add to the overall instance numbers of the entire game and make it more laggy :/

[coral rivet]

They might want underwater swimming simply for placing/building things/supports underwater, without tricky timings off diving-boards, rafts, or floating carts...
I can see how adding entities underwater is pretty superfluous, from a dev standpoint, and seems cumbersome... I can see both sides Smiffe...

[wanton atlas]

the only reason people want underwater swimming, is so they can dive down and pickup stuff they lose when their boat is destroyed

but this is a intended thing in the game

[viral kraken]

Don't minimize the desire to place dock supports more reliably

[wanton atlas]

if your boat is destroyed, certain materials are suppose to be lost

[wanton atlas]

you can very easy nowdays place a dock with the snap points swapping we added

[viral kraken]

It does help a lot, yeah. But can still be a bit finicky to get the right angles

-# Now, how many times have tower shields been mentioned in #suggestions 😁

Hmm, this ones not bad
#suggestions message

Kinda what prompted my return this time around was running tower shield for the first time and being severely underwhelmed by it's performance compared to parrying. The huge knockback is fairly annoying when trying to get a follow up swing in, as they almost always get pushed back too far to hit

[coral rivet]

Surely, some vikings wish to build even longer docks, out towards the sea.
And I will agree that tower shields need some attention to balance them on harder difficulties.

[lament zinc]

Just curious about this: #suggestions message

Why should they be added?

Vikings didn't use them as far as we know.
Also, if you leave one item (like a dandelion or a berry) in that marker we currently got, you will have the same thing. And you didn't even have to build it yourself.

[tight valve]

With all the comparisons being thrown around, I wonder how long till there's an influx of Wind Rose related suggestions. "They did this thing, you should add it to this game too."

[wintry bobcat]

Surely not long

[lament zinc]

Considering I've already have seen / read / heard it happening the other way around....... I think it's a matter of hours, not even days anymore.

[shadow crow]

It’s already happened with the “we should be able to craft from chests” talk

[wintry bobcat]

Valheim has vikings, why doesn't windrose? It's literally a game made for vikings, sailing around and raiding people

[wintry bobcat]

I remember a lot of comparisons to grounded on that one too

[shadow crow]

“Why don’t our ships have cannons?”

Then watch as your longship gets blown arse over teakettle by the recoil

[rose swan]

When Enshrouded was released, there was a similar scenario. There was a huge spike in suggested features that were similar.

[shadow crow]

Personally I’m GLAD there’s a difference between survival games. Otherwise it’s just a reskin!

[tight valve]

That's been a suggestion for years and there's already multiple mods for valheim that allow it

[rose swan]

That is true, but there was definitely a spike in the requests since it release. Not like that’s a bad thing, just an observation

[lament zinc]

That already popped up when Enshrouded was released for a few days.

[rose swan]

Comparison is the theft of joy. A lot of times, it seems people try to decide on a game that is definitively better, instead of simply enjoying multiple games 🤔

[shadow crow]

Yes I’m aware 3 times over now please stop pinging me, I get it I’ll shut up.

[lament zinc]

You stirred the hornet's nest. Now watch how they fly out and keep you awake. 😄

Or were it deathsquitoes..... 🤔

Same difference, I s'pose.

[wanton atlas]

craft from chests is a old minecraft MOD even

[rose swan]

Stardew also has a craft from chests feature. But again, it can be craft-intensive game 🤔

[lament zinc]

And that was ping #4. 🤣

[peak bronze]

Isn't it only for adjacent chests around workbench?

[royal lily]

Wait what? Did they update it?

[wanton atlas]

someone pinging you ?

[lament zinc]

No, Raindancer got the same reply 3 times. And you just did the same thing for the 4th time.

[wanton atlas]

but does people know the origin then? 🤔

[rose swan]

Yep, it’s a newer-ish feature I believe. Like Joel mentioned, you have to have a unique item called the workbench and have chests around it to function.

[lament zinc]

The origin wasn't the issue. It was more that it was one of the things that's been suggested to be included in Valheim, because other games have it too. So we brought up a list of games that had it and which were mentioned as why Valheim "should must have that feature" too.

[royal lily]

Now that you mention it it rings a bell but I still never use it 😂😂 i probably should but I honestly cant remember ever needing it. Love that game

[peak bronze]

Or well, I should know tho, since I got all achievements in that game. But it's been a while. 📝

[rose swan]

Stardew is a waaay better farming game than Valheim

[peak bronze]

Well, yeah. It's one of the main features in that game.
But probably will return to it once 1.7 update is added.

[royal lily]

It is a nice game with a farm but I cant stand harvesting and planting in that game

[rose swan]

I’m just being a goof
Would hope that a farming game has better farming! Haha

[royal lily]

Wait a minute did vikings have sprinklers 😂

They did not. Darn.

[lament zinc]

Yes they had.

But at that time it was called: "A dog shaking all the water from it's fur."

In Valheim it might be best if a Lox did that.....

[wintry bobcat]

@acoustic zenith Suggested many times before

Not that I recall devs giving a particular viewpoint on it

[stiff stag]

Being able to use trophies to prevent them from attacking the player by having them track a specific target was their response to that and indicates what their viewpoint is on the matter.

[arctic wharf]

Of course regardless of the decision, there will be others that don't agree with their decisions.

I will admit I am among them.
As ballista are now, there is just too many inconveniences that make it bothersome to use.

[rose swan]

To be honest, the more I see them the more I think it’s strange that there are automated machines in the game

Happy for those who enjoy them of course

[wintry bobcat]

I find them very clutch and very fun to use for base defense

When a couple gjall come wailing down on your base every couple hours, or a band of veteran fulings, it's nice to have some backup

[eternal wyvern]

Agreed, I don't think it fits the game.

[lament zinc]

Ballistae are only useful against the big, slow monsters anyway.
So Troll, (Bear?,) Abomination, Lox, (Vile?,) and Gjall. Anything else is just too small and / or too fast to be hit by it. I've seen a Fuling being hit by it ONCE, because it ran straight at the weapon. The moment it moved to the sides, the bolts kept missing all the time.

So unless you're having a base that's going to be attacked by either one of the big guys, don't even bother building a Ballista.

[barren oasis]

I can't wait for haunted chocolatier

[wintry bobcat]

I mean there IS a reason ballista and trap gets unlocked around the same time

But otherwise yea. I do like using ballistae in tandem with my own combat rather than just an automated defense system. Having an enemy stand still because they're fighting with you gives the ballista plenty of opportunities, especially if you parry the enemy for that juicy bonus ballista damage

[runic plover]

I'm curious now how many ballista you would need to set up around Fader's arena to kill him with just them.

[sick breach]

Feel like 3 attack cycles in every crossbow would be destroyed. Its hilarious how at first theres a giant colliseum, and then by the time Fader's dead its stomped completely flat

[lofty wave]

if the player moves as little as possible maybe the crossbows could survive

[supple grove]

I played a tiny bit with Balistas when I discovered them but quickly determined that they didn't help me. I never considered that they didn't "fit" the game but, on reflection, I think you're right.

[supple grove]

I saw a streamer try to fight Fader with lots of ballistas and the machines were quickly destroyed by Faders ground burning ability.

[crimson ermine]

my big gripe with ballistas is there ammo capacity is low

[royal lily]

I feel like u learn the ballista are bad if u take a fortress but with some clever building i feel like you could make them useful for small mobs. A lot of work for something u can handle urself but yeah

[wanton atlas]

@sullen crow Valheim uses 2 cores, 4 threads

and when one of those threads is maxed out, that's all it uses

this is due to we tell alot of tasks to be run on diffrent threads so the processor isn't allowed to try to balance this itself since it would end up being alot worse

and due to the game supporting older hardware aswell. This is why it only uses 2 cores, 4 threads

[rose swan]

Maybe Valheim can… upgrade the surtling cores to black cores? Or maybe even molten cores? 🌚
🥁 🐍

[wanton atlas]

100 surtling cores = 1 black cores
100 black cores = 1 moten core
?

[ivory lion]

That a lot…

[barren oasis]

100 moten cores makes the omega super core right

[runic plover]

Meaning, they didn't use enough. Thus the question of how many will do the job?

[trim haven]

100 Omega Super Cores make 1 Demon Core and the whole planet gets destroyed. Roll credits.

[languid ibex]

Another one 😑

[barren oasis]

It's crazy that anyone falls for these scams

[coral rivet]

actually tragic...

[royal lily]

Its like the universe is tempting me to not devolve into someone who exploits stupid people. It seems so easy

[eternal wyvern]

Unsure who deleted that, but it's in #screenshots as well.

[stiff stag]

It's in a lot of channels at the moment.

[rose swan]

#suggestions message Gotta love landscaping!

[sullen crow]

Ah okay

[safe dove]

I would like to say that if it gets added, you place things like ferns 1 at a time, flowers have a very small redius, and placing grass removes flowers and ferns.

[rose swan]

Have you seen my suggestion regarding landscaping? 🤔
#suggestions message

[safe dove]

I have not

Let me search for it

[rose swan]

Just click that link in my message, it will take you there

[safe dove]

Ooh, very nice

I am 100% for that

[royal lily]

What a ratio. And people dont mind the berries arent edible.

[rose swan]

Yee, there’s actually a decent amount of folks who like the berry bushes simply for the looks and don’t actually have an interest in farming them 🤔
They look so amazing when they’re partially in a mountain biome, they get that snowy white look which make the raspberries really pop!

[stiff stag]

#suggestions message And how would you prevent people from accidentally using an alternative fuel type they don't want to use, and without making the system and controls too cumbersome to be worth it? Also, what happens when for example a campfire has 9/10 wood and you put corewood in? Should it allow the player to put it in anyway even though it wastes some value? The fuel system in general isn't really designed to support such changes and would need to be overhauled and remade from the ground up to work out all of the potential issues that would arise.

[solemn moon]

Short answer: Wood, Surtling core and Tar are renewable

-9/10 and you put corewood, you can do that but it will only refill up to the limit, There is nothing to be distraught about losing a resource that is renewable, Greydwarfs, Surtlings and Growth even drop the respective resources in my suggestion

-Picking which wood you would like to burn; we already have this "flaw" in the game. Say you are cooking and the recipes require a cook deer meat and a raw boar meat. You have two of them in your inventory and when youre about to put the deer meat in the cooking station, it selected the boar meat instead. That's why what we do is we make sure we dont have anything else in our inventory that can be use as a fuel if we dont want to. The same way we do while we're cooking a feast

I dont think its that deep to be needing an overhaul, its a pretty simple mechanics the main take away I am trying to point out is, I dont want to spam 20-25 times or hold for a while just fully stock my smelters and kiln. thats how you develop carpal tunnel early in your life lmao

[viral kraken]

Or just put it in hotbar and use it by hotbar number

[solemn moon]

thats true

[spiral ice]

This. The devs specifically gave us that option to avoid the wrong item problem.

[wanton atlas]

that's what the hotbar is for 🙂

[trim haven]

I don't think they fall for these scams, but for different ones that grab their session tokens and then just post that stuff

[wanton atlas]

correct. I said before, this is most likly the stolen captcha virus that wants to find it's way to other platforms to push out other scams

like facebook and discord. while also stealing peoples steam accounts

[wanton atlas]

@hot nest I honestly don't think we could make that in the game. we would need like 200 programmers to throw at such a complicated system 🤔

[stiff stag]

#suggestions message The Ashlands has a limited landmass size because the ocean portion is a part of the Ashlands as well, acting as an obstacle. Increasing the landmass in any significant way would mean reducing the obstacle acting as a challenge to reach the shoreline significantly. Also, the placeholder for the deep north is just that, a placeholder. The Ashlands placeholder was the same way, being a much larger landmass before the real biome was added.

[wintry bobcat]

Smiffe are you telling me that Valheim has less programmers than the new God of War games?

That Cant possibly be true!

[wanton atlas]

they got between 40-50 programmers and 400 people in the studio

and 8!! additional external studios

[wintry bobcat]

All I’m hearing are excuses tsk tsk

[stuck patrol]

Hey, i was looking at all the set armor and weapons collect dust.... maybe there can be an workbench to raise and scale the armor of set armor ro your current state.

[languid ibex]

The old sets and weapons are good keepsakes for moments of triumph. We shouldn't make newer equipment less useful because we don't like old things sitting around. You can always obliterate them for coal if storage is a concern.

[stuck patrol]

Ahh okay

also seems fine

[ember lily]

that would also make some armor stronger that has good (set) bonuses like root harnesk

[wanton atlas]

all I am hearing is a lawsuit from God of war or disney 😄

btw. you are just a viking, the player isn't a even a demi-god

so god level of weapons for mear mortals?

[wintry bobcat]

We work for THE god. I'm sure he'd gear us up to do his bidding

[wanton atlas]

you would probably die

[ember lily]

I still want to be able to lift frostner

[wintry bobcat]

It seems you are worthy, because you can!

[fast void]

I lift Frostner onto the item stand for wall deco because that is the sole thing it is good for.

😁

[wintry bobcat]

hmm, I find it's also good against wet enemies

But I don't really use it

[stiff stag]

He does gear you up. Every viking gets a free complimentary rag tunic upon entry into valheim.

[wintry bobcat]

Everyone thinks rag tunic is a joke

But little do they know that when exposed to the cold winds of the Deep North, it transforms into a 250 armor set with cold immunity and a +70% Dwyrnvyn damage buff set effect

[royal lily]

My friend made cooler with them bc they give off that icy smoke 😂😂

[rose swan]

#suggestions message @sonic scroll Just a heads up, we don’t have any confirmation that the Deep North will be released this year 👀

[sonic scroll]

Wait, really? Where did I even pick up that misinformation... That's so embarrassing. I need to fix that right away.

[wintry bobcat]

Devs have said PlayStation/switch release in 2026, and a lot of people have mistaken that for “Deep North release 2026” and then the rumors just kind of run rampant

Fair mistake

[barren oasis]

Would any random dude be a strong as we are from eating a really yummy meal?

[wanton atlas]

Hmmnmmmm..... 🤔

They are amazing. Specially as garnish on vanilla ice cream

[royal lily]

are you telling me cloudberries are real

[glad cargo]

Yes

[royal lily]

you have to be kidding me. is this what they market as golden raspberries or is it different?

[glad cargo]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubus_chamaemorus Apparently, they are! They do look delicious

[eternal wyvern]

Yeah, can only get preserves where im at though 🙁

[glad cargo]

Gotta take a Drakkar all the way to rural Scandinavia

[eternal wyvern]

#general

[viral kraken]

Other than “2026 will be a great year for Valheim”… kinda sounds like 1.0

[viral kraken]

Why does that sound like ice cream might be a deep north dish… 👀

[lofty wave]

but we already have eyescream

[viral kraken]

Can’t put cloudberries on it

[lofty wave]

deep north feast maybe

[viral kraken]

Dang, I can’t use external emojis

:catnod:

[wanton atlas]

they are.
the jam is preferable heated up slightly and eaten with cold vanilla ice cream over here

[wanton atlas]

it's not D:

[viral kraken]

😔

[wanton atlas]

who eats ice cream in the deep cold?

and just FYI. I never EVER EVER leak information

[viral kraken]

Uh, me? Those who grew up in -50

[wanton atlas]

so almost all things you think I could possibly leak. is almost 100% not comming in the update 😄

[viral kraken]

Not even planned leakage?

[wanton atlas]

no such thing as planned leaks

[viral kraken]

Well, not by that name, no 😆

[wanton atlas]

not even unplanned ones either

I am sadly very boring like that

[viral kraken]

No worries, no leaks is fine. Part of why I hesitate to be in here lol, as I haven’t reached Ashlands yet but I’ll definitely be getting spoilers about it by being here

-# already have in fact

[wanton atlas]

avoid #valheim-public-test if you don't want spoilers

and we usually don't want people to spoil testing stuff into normal chat

even tho it can happen during PTB's

[viral kraken]

I avoid “no access” like the plague 😁

[wanton atlas]

good good (it's just Valheim-public-test channel)

[viral kraken]

I know, I purposely avoided that role when I joined. The only way I can get that “new player” feeling and experience is by going blind into the new content. Otherwise I have to find others who’ve never played to experience it through lol

[crimson ermine]

isnt that just sweeden

[peak bronze]

Not Swedish but I eat ice cream during winter.

[crimson ermine]

i do as well but i also dont live in antarctica

[wanton atlas]

you're mad

@sonic scroll sorry but our designers wants you to drag things into your inventory, go to the workbench and craft away.
crafting from containers in our game isn't something we want to add.
We want your crafts to matter more than just spamming infinitly on buttons like modern Sci-FI games
And even if you could pull from boxes, your inventory would fill up in seconds. so we don't want the player to be like a "cog" in the machine crafting 1000's of crafts and just shovel things around like a machine

[marsh radish]

I eat ice cream all year round lol. Heck I'll order a shake in the winter no matter the temperature lol

[crimson ermine]

This is what mods are for 🫡

[wanton atlas]

yes

I have honestly never understood the "must have" feature to craft from chests

[crimson ermine]

Personally i think craft from contsiners shouldnt be a base game feature cuz it doesnt make any sense. Its perfect as an add on

[wanton atlas]

and your inventory is instaltly full when you do it

valheim isn't made for mass crafting things

[crimson ermine]

Now what would be nice is uniform stacks of items. Not totally uniform, but at least making a little more sense

[peak bronze]

It works in faster paced games where there are many crafting materials and recipes, like Terraria.

IMO not needed in Valheim.

[wanton atlas]

do you break equipment in terraria?

[lofty wave]

there's no durability but ammo and some weapons are consumed when they're used

[arctic wharf]

The two hand in hand features.
Quick deposit to nearby chests.
Crafting from chests.

They both serve the same purpose of lessening the tedium and time spent at base, so players who prefer being out and about can get back out and about faster.

Most of the time I enjoy these features, but I don't feel they are neccessary either

[sonic musk]

@low ether I love your idea for a rock tumbler/renewable gems. Considering Ashlands gems are a non-renewable resource and are necessary for a decent chunk of elemental weapons and upgrades late game, and for more than 1 player getting the amount you need on 1 world is tough, having a small, but renewable method would be cool. Should require going to the Ashlands each time, but I like it

[safe dove]

I would prefer if gemstones had a very rare chance to be found while mining rocks in the ashlands. Rubies, amber, and even rarer, elemental gemstones.

[sonic musk]

that isn't a bad idea honestly

[analog moss]

I think the limited quantity of gems is part of the point. You have to choose carefully how you use them. Also, there's nothing to indicate the gems are locally sourced there. They're all found within the fortresses; they could be brought in from somewhere else entirely.

[sonic musk]

never thought of that either

[rose swan]

I’ve always low key thought it would be cool if the mining skill gave you better chance for finding more resources from ore and such 🤔

[safe dove]

That would be sweet, you should put that in the suggestions channel.

[lofty wave]

the damage and stamina changes already let you get materials faster with it

[viral kraken]

Would be nice, yeah

[rose swan]

#suggestions message Already did

[wintry bobcat]

I don't recall ever seeing a Dogg suggestion with a lot of dislikes or a low amount of likes

[rose swan]

There is one 👀

But yeah, typically before I post a suggestion, I spend a lot of time thinking about it. Sometimes over the span of weeks lol just thinking how it would affect the game. Something Smiffe encouraged me to do, actually.

Also, I gather a lot of input from the community, and I try to look beneath the surface on why people want the things they do. This gives me an opportunity to refine the idea.

Because of this, I actually don’t really like to refer to ‘my suggestions’ and mine, because they’re often collected thoughts carefully threaded together to the best of my ability

[arctic wharf]

[crimson ermine]

Majority of my suggestions are mosrly upvoted EXCEPT by smiffe who always downvotes

[arctic wharf]

Smiffe is a bit more reserved with his opinion, usually giving down votes over upvotes. But it makes sense since he is a bit more in tune with the devs vision for valheim. 🫡

[crimson ermine]

As long as smiffe downvotes me im happy

[arctic wharf]

I have some of both from our discord shepherd smiffe

Looking back on it though, I have been pretty fortunate to have overwhelmingly positive upvote ratios for all of my suggestions. 🤔

Makes me feel a bit proud

[wintry bobcat]

That inspired me to look at my suggestions. Honestly overwhelmingly positive too, except 1 or 2 that were only a bit into the positives

Not that the votes carry much weight

[eternal wyvern]

I have had neither 🙁

[rose swan]

@dry oasis #suggestions message
You can pad some of the skill loss in the world modifiers. You can set it so you only lose 1 point upon death

[dry oasis]

i know that

[rose swan]

#suggestions message I believe this is not possible due to how the terrain works 🤔

[safe dove]

I think that’s a wonderful idea. Rename the company to Iron GAI Studios. You spend the entire game collecting components to create an LLM. All the base building is replaced with constructing data centers. Personally, I believe you should only be able to learn a recipe after prompting ChatGPT, to mirror how learning works in real life. I think it would go a long way to making Valheim a more complete experience while maintaining the vision of the original game. 🫡

[wanton atlas]

@safe dove what are you on about?

[wanton atlas]

I downvote things that doesn't fit the game IMO, or things that cannot be done with the game engine

your last one I downvoted because Viles are basicly a lox level of damage, and 2 star version would instantly squash you with 1 hit. making it super frustrating to fight for almost everyone exept veteran players. I personally dislike this type of enemies since it only brings frustration

[royal lily]

1x1 dvergr gate fits the game 😢
