Yay!
woo!
Needs image permissions, ideally. Though I guess that's after all the bots are sorted.
why?
So people can post screenshots of their issues? We had it before.
yea #valheim-help always had image perms
Oh god we need to remake and repin all the guides to activate console commands and whatnot
No small task.
Eh
Unless someone made a copy?
How to enable console in valheim with guides for different clients:
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands
The rest are more work
I dont really remember what they were
Now that we're at it, we also had gif perms.
||👀||
Thats probably link embeds, which isnt necessary lol
it's in the FAQ
Should crosspost it here, not everyone reads the FAQ unfortunately~

Nice
good evening vikings, im looking for a devcommand for a "hammer" that destroys the enviroment arround you - i need to clear a large area. I know there is something like that.
Probably HammerCheat
ah thy, i found the right devcommand
hey guys my friend keeps getting "Failed to connect" while trying to join us
I can't find a fix anywhere
Has your friend ever been able to join ok? Are you using the in-game server or a dedicated server? Do any of you play on Xbox?
No we're steam and he has never been able to join
Also I am hosting the game
2 others can join just not him, he even changed his internet provider and no luck yet
Has he been able to join anyone online? Is it possible his firewall is blocking Valheim?
And, is he using a VPN?
No
Has he been able to join through right clicking steam friendlist?
Nope failed to connect
Have him temporarily disable his Firewall as a test. As Pitabred suggested.
And have him check his Anti-Virus settings, too. 🙂
Ok I'll try
Thanks guys
how do i join servers? none of them say the passwords
Zoom all the way out on the map, and the world is 10km in radius, so you can estimate from that
Look in #1024264966712340510 and ask if you can join
ok thank
not more than 700 i guess
Just FYI, there are no official servers. Any server is run by an individual/community, so it can vary a lot on your experience.
im thinking of just going very far even from that blue point
trying to find a big mountain biome
mist is probabl ythe worst thing when sailing. all i need now is to end up in plains accidentally
Ok I know this dumb, but have to ask, and I don’t mean to insult your intelligence. But you’re saying the radius is 10k meters, not the diameter, correct?
Um akshually, it is 10.5k I believe
Yes 😉 The radius is from the center to the edge, the diameter is from edge to edge through the center. But Larsi corrected me anyway 😛
I know, I was just clarifying haha I work in construction and unfortunately I see those two terms mixed up a lot
But that’s good to know though, important info
Surprisingly, I actually have a bachelor's in math, so it would be super embarrassing if I got that wrong...
Anyone want to help me clear out some fuling villages?
You can ask for people to play with you in #1024264966712340510
Hi and good Afternoon Fellow Valheimers / modders...........
i need your help me and a friend are trying to get into the same dedicated server " his " but for some reason its saying the version of valheim plus is not compatible and i dont no what else to do as thats the most upto date valheim plus on the thunderstore please anyone out there who can help me ??????
That'd be a question for #mods-issues
just asking but how do i find community servers without passwords
You don't. Servers are required to have passwords.
damn
Speak to the server owners for access.
how?
Message them?
It would have to be someone you know in some way shape or form basically. Either meet someone here in this discord, or someone you know IRL.
You should be able to contact the people in #1024264966712340510 at least. It's certainly not ALL the servers available, but should be enough to be getting on with.
I told you an hour ago. Post in #1024264966712340510 and ask to join
If you can’t find a group to join, maybe consider starting one yourself! There’s alot of people who lurk around want to play with people, but a lot of them don’t want to take that first step of actually starting a server.
Unfortunately that doesn't make this the channel for modded help. The answer here is to use the vanilla game. We keep them separate so that searches in the channel stay relevant.
Hey I had a question for the more creative folks in chat, does anyone have advice for building a good looking town and designing something consistent in theme? My primary house will be an A frame, obviously I should use the same roofs, supports, and walls across all buildings, I plan to draw out a blueprint of the town on paper before restarting my current building project, but does anyone have any other thoughts/advice for making a good looking town?
my best advice is to look around on youtube, reddit, twitter, etc for builds and towns you like and save an inspo album. rather than copying something completely, find things you like (a roof design, a balcony...) from a bunch of different builds and try to put those together in your own town
also like you said planning things in advance is always a good idea, i like to build foundations first so i have a floorplan, then start building up the structures
Stability is your limitation for now. At the beginning you can only build 4 walls tall. Then you'll find a new kind of resource that will let you build up to 6 walls tall. Finally you'll slap some reinforcements in and be able to build up to 8-9 walls tall. Your builds will change as you access more technology and can support more structure.
hello i've been looking for the trader and i was told he can be found around spawn. do i need to venture out further? already found swamp and 2 mountains.
Haldor can be found in Black Forests anywhere from 1500m from the centre of the world.
have i not gone 1500m yet?
You're far enough out. It just depends on the seed and where the the possible spawn locations are at.
You probably have to the North West.
it can be radially that far away from teh spawn. Good luck <3
How to properly remove mods:
Step 1: Uninstall Valheim.
Step 2: Delete the entire Valheim installation folder.
Steam default installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim
Gamepass default installation folder: C:\XboxGames\Valheim\Content
Step 3: Reinstall Valheim.
+-2000m because in this radius you have a swamps, swamps starts from 1800-2000
how to join a server in valheim step 1 grab computer step 2 throw it out the window... no further steps needed XD
jokes aside I cant seem to figure this server stuff out I'm a bit dumb when it comes to all this computer stuff. If anyone knows of a good tutorial online I'd love to see it. Thank you
bought the game less than a week ago, and have already put in nearly 60 hours so far... needless to say i'm loving it, but an aspect i'm not so fond of is the constant enemy spawning. i feel like the game spawns Greylings and Greydwarves near me every few minutes (outside of raids) and they do not pose a challenge to me at this point in the game, so they're just really really annoying. are there any ways to mitigate this? playing on Steam, normal difficulty
They won't spawn within the circle of effect of a workbench, it's also a good idea to make a barrier around your settlement. Torches and other fires will ward away greylings and most black forest mobs.
what about whenever i'm out and about? do i just have to deal with it?
If you want you can look up the seed and see where hes at
Workbenches, forge, campfires etc have a 20m radius around them (same as build radius)
Mobs won't spawn in this radius ever. But they spawn outside and wander into this radius. That's where stakewall/perimeter walls come in. Make a perimeter, cover insides with workbenches, and you are completely safe from wandering mobs unless they attack the walls.
i think ive never seen a star 2 boar, or i have its just very rare. so do they become more common with distance or?
You need to be atleast 800m from world center, after that boars can have stars. There's a 1% chance for 2* and 9% for 1* iirc
Any way or mods that remove building decay?
this portion of the land wont raise, why?
it just eats my stones and doesnt get higher in the slightest, is it the incline?
You can only raise ground or dig down 8 meters from initial height
well that sucks
any reason as to why
Probably to limit how good ypur base defenses are, plus a bit of realistic building
Some or all biomes depend on height. Without the limit it'd be possible to destroy them by digging or raising ground too much, which would probably mess with spawns and things like that
I dont think you can actually affect biomes by changing the height
Imagine an underwater mountain
Don't terraform too much to get that natural feel, use core logs to make a groundplan and start with the structure and you can do the walls and dccoration later.
What's a good way to find infested mines?
Mountain does. Probably the only one
how do you unlock the cartography table? recently discovered it's a thing, and i have all of the materials to craft it, but somehow don't have it unlocked
I had a river that cut through a mountain biome. It was moutain biome at water level and i got freezing when sailing through
are you sure you have all materials? are you checking the misc tab or some other tab?
also why do we get like 3 troll raids A DAY its so annoying
Every 46 minutes theres a 20% chance of a raid, if youre in an eligible location
do you play with many players? each player has their timer
||it’s Odin, sometimes he appears to check in on you!||
||just fun little Easter egg, nothing comes of it :)||
||he doesnt get mad if we try to shoot him right||
Correct
how large is the game world in km?
10.5km from center to edge
smaller than i thought
It's huge.
about the size of Grenada (in terms of area)
Grenada is about 2 square kilometres bigger. :p
teeny-tiny country, but i guess it's pretty big as far as games go
Anyone have any pro tips for base building. I have about 40 hrs on valheim and find myself making the same generic 45 degree roof houses. Perhaps I need to be more creative
I tried building an outdoor forge addition/extension onto my house with core wood and got the structure but couldn't figure out a good way go fill it in lmao
So honestly, this is just one tip, but a lot of building design comes down to roof types. You can have the coolest build in the world, but if it doesn’t have a decent roof, it will come out lackluster. I don’t remember the lingo off the top of my head, but I know there are a lot of great guides on YouTube about roof types.
Another tip, exterior is very important too. Again, great builds can be diluted by having uninteresting surroundings. Plant some trees, make some paths/roads, plant some cosmetic crops/flowers, all sorts of stuff to make your build pop.
Thanks yeah I'll look into that stuff that's basically what did in my addition was making the roof work
Ships don't take rain damage, do they?
They take wave damage, which is likely during storms. Idk about rain itself 🤔
Wave damage even when they're sat idle in the water?
No, but if there's big waves they go up and down with the waves and can crash into the bottom and take a little damage.
Yeah during storms the waves can cause the boat to take damage
Ah okay, maybe that's why my boats been taking slight bits of damage.. even though its been sat at the docks the whole time 🤔 been trying to figure out what was hitting it
anyone knows when the ahselands will be out ?
Between now and June 30th
what is going on here?
its like its losing hp but theres no ground under it
stupid fish
if it's 10 HP everytime, it's wave damage, which can be caused by all forms of lag.
considering it's a clear day with seemingly very little wind and a longship, there shouldn't be any genuine wave damage so it's probably from lag or the world save freeze
looks fresh yeah
was wondering if there might be mods leftover
try verifying game in steam
or uninstall, delete that folder, then reinstall
There has never been support for more than current and last stable version (and the PTB of course).
I don't see how they could stop you using an older version if you were able to get hold of one.
There's no connection to any official servers on anything.
Either way, if you're not using mods, what's stopping you using the latest version?
Hi! Wanted to ask. What Specifically enables Raid events (graydwarfes, trolls, fullings, drakes, wolfs, ect)? What exactly is the prerequisite? Defeating the boss? Hanging the trophy?
- Why i'm asking -> Will i trigger raids in a world i hang the boss trophies but didn't kill the bosses in the same world? (I slay bosses in one world and carry the trophies to the main one -> will the main world have raids?)
raids are dependant on mob and boss kills, so if you've not killed them on that world you should be good
FIRE! thank you!
So just for clarification, if you have a character bring the boss trophies to a world and hang them, this will not tamper with raids in any way?
hmm reading the wiki hasn't clarified .. it says "Available events are based on which enemies have been defeated in the game world." but also
"If player based raids are enabled:
Most events are based on which Forsaken powers and materials the player has acquired.
Some events also check which enemies the player has defeated."
i'm a little confused ngl
Yeah, it’s a bit confusing for sure.
Honestly, it's hard to word that much clearer. it's just simply a bit of a muddle.
are enemy damage vulnerabilities and weaknesses based on damage type (slashing, piercing, blunt, etc) or weapon type (sword, axe, spear, etc)?
Damage type.
thought so. haven't used any slashing weapon other than axe at this point and thought it'd make sense that greydwarves would be weak to axes specifically, but wasn't 100% sure
greydwarfs are neutral to all 3 physical damage types, oddly enough
huh. they do take a fair bit of damage from arrows too so that makes sense
No
the iron axe is the best one-handed axe for wood-cutting until the fifth biome (||plains||) and the iron pickaxe is the best pickaxe until the sixth biome (||mistlands||)
danke
you could argue the rising stamina cost with each biome makes earlier tools cheaper to use, but the damage to whatever it is you're harvesting also increases with each one.
do ||troll raids stop after bonemass?||
no
By the time you get to bonemass trolls are a non issue tho
Huntsman with any arrow will take care of them very quickly
you just need to build big enough with moat and they wont wander over to your docks
you can raise ground a way into the water as extra walls
and when it comes to the walls, are there any chunkier than stone walls ?
Black Marble is better than stone, but you get that much later. Same hp but more resistant.
If you build a wide enough moat, the walls are mostly for protection against ranged enemies.
im fully on elevated space + moat, its just port thats kind of attracting pathing
i´ve built there stone walls with iron gate and stairs up that i can destroy in case, now just scared of trolls
I have never tested this myself since I don't like building ports so try it out in the test world with devcommands first.
It's just a theory. But maybe if you put a personal chest in their path they'll choose to attack it? Not sure
Anyone want to help me go through an ice cave without getting cooked in a few?
Can I mine silver with a copper pickaxe?
I think it's the iron pickaxe.
You need an iron pickaxe (or a troll).
#1024264966712340510 for ingame assistance
Just got some root for 1 piece of equipment. Should I craft the mask for the poison resist or just continue using resist potions? Or craft the Chest?
imo resist potion if you want full benefit of troll armor. I assume you're in iron age or swamp area right?
Aye, went with chest since It provides decent armor and pierce resist
The mead gives higher resistance, so take that into consideration
What was also what I found with a bit of looking around
Ive killed the boss no problem with the root set and no poison resistance mead
that's good too. Myself doesn't wear the root much
Root armor is actually really good in 5th biome
Really? wow I never thought of that
5th is that plains or mist?
plains
I thought it was mist, plains is like... semi fire balls here there
yeah, you get resistance vs a lot of pierce(which scales by percentage instead unlike armor) and poison and bonus bow
Is this too close to Ashlands? Could it cause any troubles?
I think it's still okay
I found out after that the devs are gonna change it so the ashlands is not land connected with any biome
You should be ok!
Okay thanks
I'm new to the game and i'm playing with two of my friends. We have a world together that is 40 days old. The weird thing is that we haven't gotten any raids yet and the world is on all default settings. Does anyone know why?
It’s just an RNG thing, I had a similar experience. I didn’t even know raids existed until the tail end of biome 2 lol
👍
About the smouldering tomb, ||does brenna always spawn in them or only in the first?||
The game checks every 46 minutes if a player is eligible for getting an event, and then if one is there's a 20% chance that an event occurs. Most raids requires the player being near three base structures (the one exception requires you to be in plains or mountains), so if the timer is up while you're out exploring nothing happens, and even if you're at your base the chance of nothing happening is much higher than the chance of a raid.
I guess you're travelling often, it didn't trigger the raid
is there any way for me to connect to a server without having to get my friend to play as well?(its his server)
is it a dedicated one?
im getting sick and tired of it honestly, i want to do so much background shit but i cant because i lose connection when he quits
It can appear in raids too. You can find more than one.
idk
it's possible to set up one that runs 24/7, but a pc has to be running it for it to work
that means the server can still run, without valhiem running, but a pc still has to run @spare drift
he doesnt want to leave it on
can i transfer ownership of his server into myself
or like take the progress there and get it to myself
you can transfer the world save files
and then it works
i did that when getting the world from my friend onto my 24/7 server
yea hes not often online and its such a hassle
How do i get out of the dying loop? Im a bit stuck. Ive played valheim before but never solo, im currently trying to retreive my inventory from a burial chamber but every time i go and attempt it i get wrecked by a couple of skeletons and a ghost waiting for me in the first chamber. Theres only so many times i can re-craft my weapons and armour lol but maybe i should just re craft it all again until i can get back. such a slog
Ive died 3 times now its just ugh
you have to go to "manage saves", then move the world save to local with the button. then the files are able to be found in file explorer (i dont remember the file path), and sent. two different files are needed (.db and .fwl) then you can transfer them
make sure you've eaten food to increase health and stamina. if you can dodge the enemies, and have enough space in your inventory, it should pick up everything at once
i often retrieve stuff naked
Yeah i get rested and eat food but a couple of hits from them and im gone. Just going to re craft things and try again though
have you talked to a trader yet?
Can you get more than one chest?
no ive only just defeated the first boss. I never got to the plains in my main playthrough either so never met a trader
after that i can rehost it myself with all the progress, right?
there's a trader in the black forest, none in the plains (although there is a new one now). you should be able to run around them, pick it up all at once, and run out again. if you're unable to or not comfortable, it's probably best to just gear up again as you said
the world saves should take care of everything in chests and in the world, and the items and stats you had personally, are on your character save, so yes
just died AGAIN i give up jesus christ
ok thank you having hosts differently really was a pain in the ass
absolutely, good luck on the transfer
yeah my original corpse with all my stuff is a bit deeper in the chambers, i have to get past a fair few skeles and ghost to get there
all my other corpses are in the beginning chamber
anyway im pissed off so im gonna quit for a bit. cant be arsed 🥲
makes sense. i usually die close to the entrance, as i try to make my loot reclaimable. had a friend leave my server for the same reason, except he died at sea
also take note that the first place you find traders is the last place youll ever find them
ive never found 1 ever 😄
once you find them their place is set
Haldor and Hildir live in a quantum superposition before being observed.
if you find one, the belt is a must buy. 650 gold is well worth it
whats the belt?
helps with max weight you can hold, increases 150 kg, or 50%
forgot the name, so it just became "the belt"
Megingjord
oh damn, it's 950?????? i need to double check that
with how frequent dungeons are i dont think anyone struggles with money
yeah, i certainly don't, but i had 650 in my mind for some reason
If you're struggling with money then you're building too much and not killing enough of the scary stuff.
it was 950
yayyyyy death number 6 or 7 trying to get my stuff. on a roll. gonna set a record 😡
building? i currently cant find any other use but trading with merchant for money
there is no other use, but if you struggle with the amount you're able to gain
You can build with gold but you can't kill scary with it. I think there's another context.
Get out there and roll some heads for their money lol
Honestly I really like the current ability to make mountains of gold around your bed so you can sleep in it a la Scrooge McDuck.
I GOT MY STUFF
And now the pendulum swings from ragequit to confidence. As it always does.
never back down never what? NEVER GIVE UP!!
Thank you and I got some
indeed it has. Was ready to throw my pc out the window. Now i can take on another burial chamber (because after all that it only had 4 surtling cores and i needed 5 for my first furnace 😦 )
good luck on the next ones, you got this <3
thanks for ur help friends ❤️
hi im trying give admin access to my friend, giving them commands like spawn, heal, etc. Ive tried adding their steamID into the adminlist.txt but it doesnt work, im hosting the world through steam, not dedicated
Devcommands arent admin commands. Admin commands are kick, ban, unban etc
so is there a way to let my friend use commands like heal, spawn, fly, etc?
No
Yeah. You can modify the world to disable building costs in vanilla though
Can you edit world modifiers after a world has been created?
does anyone know how far a Troll can go ? Yesterday The troll (whom normally has a specific territory, and turns back towards the black forest), ...walked almost all the way up to my base. Thankfully my pack of wolves killed him before he got there 😱 Is this normal?????
Generally mobs have an anchor point that they will not wander randomly too far away from, but if something gets their interest they will move to investigate and only return "home" once they lose interest. "From the black forest and up to my base" really isn't a good indicator of distance though.
ok that makse sense. I put down a camp fire just on the edge near to the black forest ( small stream that runs into the sea seperates it ). i was mining for stones , looked up and there he was in full glory ! needless to say the anxiety was real
Mining makes a lot of noise that will attract enemies.
i keep learning the hard way on this game 😂 😂
there's this weird mist over certain areas of the world map (would post a pic but can't). is that just visual or does it have a gameplay impact?
Can post pic at #screenshots . Though you might be near Mistland
kinda looks like clouds or fog but idk
Tree seed question. Am I the only one who thinks that you should get more seeds from trees?
Nah, the ones meant to be sustainably farmable drop enough to be sustainably farmable, the ones meant to not be sustainably farmable but drop seeds so we can plant them for decoration drop enough to decorate with but not to sustainably farm.
Iirc, the seed drop rate used to be even lower? It was actually raised a decent bit. Probably the only thing I’d say would make for a nice change would be to increase the drop rate of seeds while the elders power is active as an added bonus. But it’s pretty minuscule at the end of the day.
how can i use the dev console
check pinned msgs
Birches and oaks didn't use to drop seeds, that was added by popular demand so we could decorate with them.
idk if anyone can help with my problem here but i got a server from zap hosting and im tryna to transfer data over from my other world to my zap hosted world so me and my friends can play whnever it says i have all the saves putt in right but when i go to play nothing is theyre anyhelp would be great
I think that's something you should go over with their support team
i tried but they bssically said fck off
from the game files, you should make sure that you're moving both the .fwl and the .db files whenever you're sending them in
#dedicated-server might have some better pointers, sorry to hear that their support didn't help at all
Hey there, so I've been getting back into Valheim for the past couple days but for some reason the game just doesn't cooperate. First time me and my friend played on my world, Valheim froze for a few before entirely shutting off my pc, with the fans slowing and speeding up again. Also, no "blue screen of death", just shut off. The second time, the game froze then crashed the game, not my pc. Mind you we were playing for a bit and I didn't see any irregular spikes in CPU usage nor RAM (I was using Resources Manager from Task Manager). And the most recent one was when I was in a dungeon with my friend on the same world when it froze, and after a minute or two, I got the blue screen of death with the stop code being something like "KERNEL EXCEPTION". What surprised me the most, however, was when booting and typing in my password to log into windows, it crashed again. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the stop code but what after what felt like 20 minutes, the pc booted back up. Strangely, when I booted it up, the entire pc seemed to reset. None of my apps were in the taskbar except for outlook VSCode, and some other apps. So, I shut down my pc manually from the power button on the side and that seemed to fix it. I'm not sure where to even begin with fixing this but I'm afraid to even start up Valheim again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have 2 hours and ive got no idea what to do help
Have you fought the first boss?
no
That should be your first objective. Also, the bird will give you tips and hints on what to do, follow his advice 🙂
do i place the world savefile here if i want to transfer a save?
Issues with modded games should go in #mods-issues, the main channels are strictly for vanilla Valheim.
ok
transfer to/from what?
from another friend, its quite frustrating to wait for him to be online just so i can play
you need to put it in worlds_local
i did it now tho thanks
if the folder doesnt exist you can make it
worlds technically work, it'll just have to convert it
i used the steam cloud directory for a local file before 🤦♂️ stupid i know
I think that your power supply might be dying or perhaps some other hardware/wiring issue, or virus. Alt+Tab on steam while game is loading can also cause any game to crash, though it usually won't cause the pc to immediately shut down. Also regarding checking CPU usage, if you crack games and maybe download from, exp; Empress, there's cryto mining going that when you open Task Manager, it automatically stops itself to hide from you noticing. I don't mean accuse you to crack, it just something a friend of mine told me when he realize his pc getting slower and slower.
No you're good, what is empress and exp? Also, would you happen to know if it's a problem with me hosting a server or can I just not play the game ever again?
that sounds like a hardware issue
Hmm I feared it would be
either your drivers or your power supply
Is there a way to test it?
is it a laptop or a desktop
Desktop
Exp just a short term for "Example". Empress is a one of popular repacker for crack games, especially for RDR2 since that game is consider "very difficult to crack" but then uh, dramas going on between them regarding this crypto mining thing. You hosting server won't cause those problems, what about your friend? Are they getting problem with their game?
No it's just me having problems. However it's only when my ame starts to freeze they freeze to for a bit and then it kicks them.
have you tried with other games
On every other game I've played it's been fine, even palworld. But I've had an issue with it crashing my pc in the past and totally got off of it. However, I thought it was valorant that caused the crashing but it was't until a few days ago when my pc crashed when playing valheim.
did you do any driver updates recently
no but i've played cs2 and it said i need new drivers
probably should've taken the hint
if i had to guess that'd probably be the problem
ima update them rn
Is there a way to build stone walls higher that isn't raising the ground. I thought they could be braced with core wood to go up higher but it's not working.
Stone is heavier than corewood, it cannot be supported by it
You're looking for wood iron poles
those are a bit stronger than stone, and if built from terrain can help you carry stone higher than normal
Ah gotcha thanks. More iron to grind yay
Will the Dvergr metal wall be considered as a wall for the Sheltered status?
I might be overthinking that the holes might be an issue.
@gilded field something is indeed coming together but i kinda feel like itll be ugly when i finish
The wall is coming together
Search youtube: valheim spiral staircase
I'm sorry can you capture a day shot
yea sorry
Ty
@spare drift check this out #screenshots message
A nice visual aid for what I was describing
i will use it indoors thanks
You're welcome. What's the footprint of the build your on? Making a proper fort I gather?
its like a warehouse
we used to have the chests and workshops inside the house but its too cramped now
Ah sweet
why is everything so low hp without even me doing anything bruh
O.o structural hp?
Hmm I'd wager you may have a bad iron beam connection or need more vertical support to bridge the span
probably this connection
Track it down. Or rather up and out
ill have to redo so much stuff if i want to even it out man
Along the long faces of your skeleton put another vertical support beam. Looks like you go a long distance
yea i think thats it
That's where you see your hp degradation correct? In the middle of the span
Find center of your edge on each long face and throw up a pole
That put you at 3-4x2m tiles/panels
Between supports
should i make more? since its a very long building
How many 2m beams do you go before the span turns green to orange
tbh i didnt check the colour, lol
i think i might need one central pole here since the flooring is orange
theyre mostly green but they still damage which is interesting
I wasn't sure what you intended for the center floor space so I didn't suggest it.
Here's a stability reference using normal wood:
Iron will ofc go a greater distance. Wherever it turns orange I would throw up a support
all of them are green now
Sweet
Heya I have a bit of an issue that involves stuttering or freezing for about one second when I generate a dungeon in black forest from about a good distance away so it just stacks up to like 2 or 3 frame drops every 15 seconds ,anyone has an Ideea for a fix? (only in black forest)
@gilded field man the building looks monotonous af but ig it serves its purpose, i cant make good looking buildings yet
Get the structure and stability principles down. Then tweak and perfect your aesthetic
yea i should get the skull complete first, stability is good im just making walls now
I worked on this issue with another person. Have you tried adjusting any of the gfx sliders? I found a yt vid that may help as well
Some of these tricks made a difference. Full screen mode and adjusting lod bias
Exclusive full screen mode
Did that
My hardware isn't bad I got an rx6700 ryzen 5 5600x 16gb of ram 3600mhz
I even tried running the game in potato mode with the lowest resolution the issue still persists
reinstalled the game on different drives lowering the graphics to see if it's hardware related
You running vulkan or base
base tried vulkan too
Same
it happens regardless
Yea. I've experienced this as well.
Any ideea if there's a fix or something to minimize the frame drops?
Took me like 2 days of scrambling my brains to even realise it was beacuse of dungeons loading
This experience is solo or dedicated server
I play on a server currently, issue happens in solo as well
More palpable on a server ofc
I've been scrambeling my brain for about 2 days for hours to fix it I even tried forcing the cpu and ram usage higher and that didn't work
so it's more likely to happen on a server?
Yea it seems so.
Why is that? just courious not gonna change the fact that it happens in solo as often for me
Regardless I'm still courious if there's anything I can do to make this at least more bearable when exploring.
i ran out of iron :/ crypts here i come
Seems it's rooted in a unity thing according to what I've read. But I lack the expertise to speak on it.
Have you seen this:
https://www.pcgamer.com/valheim-increase-fps-performance/
Found that in a steam forum convo
I haven't I wish fps would be the issue tbh instead of frame drops im permanently on 100-120 fps when im not close to a black forest
I've done those steps as well
sigh, no ideea why dungeons have to preload when im not even close to them
Perhaps a mob spawn check? Skeletons often spawn at these
There's 2 skeletons that show as sapwned in the console I doubt that's the case
It's whenever i enter the proximy of the dungeon load chunk thing I get a frame drop
so that basically confrims the reason
You watching a process monitor to track this thing?
im watching this
right in my base there's a sweet spot where those dungeons generate
very good when im harvesting stuff to get framedropped out of my mind, I go repair something frame drop XD it's quite beautiful
Oh and when they despawn I also get a frame drop
I play modded atm but it doesn't really matter since this has been a problem ever since I played full vanilla
What this person said about isolating valheim to a single core is intriguing. Albeit I don't know how to do that.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/0/3103515720271241960/?ctp=2#c4627984302704347626
Wish I knew how to do that.
Ah correction it was twitch to a single core. But perhaps doing this with valheim would be legit idk
There's guides for everything these days.
I've done so much I feel kind of defeated
I'm still baffeled that a dungeon needs to be loaded from the meadows from about 500 meters away
And there's no real way around that even with the draw distance put to 0
Who knows maybe something changes with ashlands
500 seems like it should be out of render range. Peculiar. Did you leave anything in this dungeon by chance? Can't think of much that would trigger it.
Nah it triggers on every dungeon
Doesn't frame drop in swamp it's only black forest dungeons
and I have campfires everywhere in the dungeons in the swamp
so you get an ideea that is where the dungeon is
and there's 1 more right next to it that keep bombarding my home when I walk around
Can't wait to get to plains and rest peacefully with no framedrops
May I suggest an island. Far out from land as possible. Nice low instance count to start with.
Nah I just need a place without a black forest
Heh I get you
there's a 1 second loading screen on teleporters and they can't make the dungeon in a different space or anything like that. Sigh I'm just complaining at this point
I've got a guy with a 3090 and a ryzen 9 with the same issue so that says a lot
Yea it seems hardware deficiency only accentuates the issue
i swear i had less issues on my potato pc
You tried the vsync trick as well I'm guessing?
Yes. v sync on and off uncapping the frames capping the frame rate
tried a lower resolution monitor
Fast vsync 60fps cap
Yea I can tell. Way past the updated drivers 😉
Did the boot config trick give any change as some suggest
Heh I know. Some are more sensitive to fps drop and stuttering than others
What like going in exclusive full screen thing? that was prob the first thing I did
In my eyes this is hotfix material but meh who am I to say anything
That pcgamer link I dropped has bootconfig trick ripped from a reddit post. Lol
Tbf things have gotten a lot better since year one. But I understand
the boot config thing is just so valheim takes more supplies
yes now it takes 6% more supplies no difference at all in my beloved dungeon generations
I had less issues when the game just released than now. early access goes brrrrrrrr
@gilded field been cooking ore for an hour and the poles are holding up good 👍
You seen this? Now I've talked with other builders about lines we can detect while terraforming. Idk if that's of any correlation but, these triggers discussed here sound like what you're describing..
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/m8cn4d/valheim_chunks/
Walkable?
Looks good
man building takes sooooo much time in this game, i spent around 8 hours on a 3 floor building
It's a game where more than two floors is more than excessive for your needs. 3 hours doesn't sound too bad to be honest.
8 hours seems about right to make the building frame.
I absolutely love watching Valheim build Timelapse’s because it often looks somewhat realistic in the sense that a frame goes up, then ceilings/walls and such. I really appreciate it lol
@gilded field I fixed the issue form last night If you're courious since you said you had this issue as well.
I'm interested of course
With stone, wood, core wood, iron, etc. The material gathering alone will eat a lot of time.
its more like 2.5, the "3rd floor" is basically a mead cellar
final ver. of it btw
i googled and it said that wood gets to 50% due to weather, i made a roof and it still gets to 50% so idk why it does that
Yeah, I can see why that took you a long time.
i just gave up trying to repair it lol it doesnt break it anyway
i had to replenish iron midway as well
If it still takes damade then youre either not using roof or youve not covered it
Even if the edge of the roof touches the top it it would cover enough
damn
also dont be fooled its very long
so thats why i took a long time reinforcing it and stuff
I dont see it clipping yhrough those wall pieces so i guess it doesn't quite reach
you do see them greying out tho right thats whats confusing me
i think it was worth it tho cuz the house was very cramped and now we can get more decor in for the comfort
Looks nice
He's talking about roof tiles clipping through the wall at the top
Have you thought about using these for the wall/roof line instead of 1x1 tiles?
They won't have those yet, I'd imagine.
The angle side pieces?
No, the shingle pieces, which I assumed you were talking about.
No, the side angles, so he can make a better roof line to put his roof tiles against
@gilded field I installed render_limits mod and I typed render_config distant_areas 1 in the console that way it doesn't render the dungeons from afar from 5 fing kilomiters away
it wasnt the kinda theme i was going for
Discussion and questions about mods should go in #mods-discussion, main channels are strictly for vanilla Valheim.
discussion was a fix for vanilla valheim that went on yesterday night
Understandable, figured I'd at least make the suggestion lol
i think it looks slightly nicer from the back
yea no problem ill definitely try mixing them up in the future
also the roof itself is half cylinder, the edges are the wood pieces protruding out
Tbf I came across this mod in my search for a resolution. Glad it worked for you. Still got my gears turning on a vanilla resolution. Likely watch the log when considering a build location. Then position the footprint as to not trigger a cell line that has dungeons. But nothing clever beyond that atm
Yo that's looking great. Well done
haha thanks for all the help man appreciate it
You're welcome bud
Hello! My non-gamer spouse would Be somewhat intrested to try vallheim. Shes Been playing palworld quite much for now. I'm also very new to vallheim(10h).
What mods would u suggest to Make The gaming experience More fun? Maybe something that would increase QoL. She Been enjoying palworld super casually (building base 80% of The Time). So what kind mods would Be good for us?
Also is because i Have only one gaming pc, i Been thinking to use Xbox cloud, so we could play co-op. Is it Even possible to play modded vallheim when playing from Xbox cloud?
#mods-discussion but no, no mods on xbox
Maybe start with just tinkering with the world modifiers first, that’s probably where I would start
Oh My Bad!
Yeah that seem to Be only option because of The Xbox cloud!
Id recommend playing through it vanilla first yea
^
My wife and I build together, we back-to-back in combat, we are quick to shift roles when exploring on a boat, and we always nag each other into doing that crypt we just stumbled across.
Practicing and preparing to handle harder enemies together is the perfect marriage tester lol
when upgrade utility tools, does their damage to the "nodes" increase as well, or just durabilty
Yes
Are there abandoned Burial Chambers in the Black Forest? I started a new game and in one of the chambers were no sceletons at all, Only sone loot and mushrooms. Is it a bug?
Ive never seen one
You mightve forgotten you went in, the mushrooms respawn
Skeletons outside also respawn
All doors were closed, so i wasn't there for sure.
Maybe smth bugged when i turned off cloud saves or moved world to local saves.
Play through vanilla and experiment with client side mods when you find things annoying.
living your playthorugh off of bad rendering mechanchins is quite annoying ain't it
since plains flowers require us to "move" to plains to grow them, does mistlands do the same thing ?
You don't need to move anywhere, but you will need a Mistlands farm, yes.
Yeah, and still requires open air above, despite growing in mist
sadge
also, how does it work new bioms and old maps ? when the patch drops
Mostly the same as it always has, you get new content only in areas that you haven't explored yet. The difference with the Ashlands is that it will terraform the land in the Ashlands area regardless of whether you've explored it or not.
so the new ashlands will override the old ones ?
If you've explored them, no. It will be barren just like it is now, possibly with some enemies but no structures or anything. But regardless it will convert the current islands down in the Ashlands into a single large landmass.
Oh, so the new Ashlands biome will be one giant island?
And it will not be connected to any other biomes by land. You will have to sail to get there 😉
Ahh interesting, where did you get this info 👀 that’s super cool though, I was wondering if there was going to be any weird issues where lava potentially met water lol
The developer blogs and such, stuff Smiffe has said in the PTB channel. Trying to thread the needle with the spoilers vs. relevant and useful information people need to know before it drops.
And "spoilers", I only know what's been in the dev blogs and news posts, nothing secret
Ahh nice, good to know. Thanks for sharing!
But hey, if you’re getting secret info, none of my business 😏 ||kidding||
Hah. Yeah, the most secret stuff I get is by being in the public test channel 😉
any tips for berserkers in plains for melee combat ?
Dodge rolling is your friend!
Anyone want to help me get my stuff back from the mistlands? And help me get through it?
Atgeirs are handy, the spin can stagger the non-starred ones fairly reliably, and then you can follow up. Run away when they throw their tantrum 😛
You should search or post in #1024264966712340510
Okay
Youve already been told this twice before
were plains in base game ?
Iirc yea
Yep
Been a minute lol sorry
and mistland is the "dlc" ?
Hearth n home was another
Nope, not DLC, just additional content 🙂
Hearth and home, mistlands, mountain caves and hildir are content patches
Just for the folks in the back of the room. What did all that awesome content cost?
Cost?
I was trying to point out that the content has been free to the players
Oh lol yeah
thats why the " " :)
moutain caves are the dungs in mountains ?
Yeah
Challenge accepted
guys, what do you guys do to protect your constructions from monsters? I want to build something but I'm afraid of losing the time I spent building
trenches or earth walls or fences in meadows fires are enough
Or build on an island. Just have to mind high seas
iron pole is the best one to withstand most weight right ? or darkwood ?
thank you
Iron wood. Darkwood is almost completely cosmetic, I think the stability is only the same as regular wood.
danke
and when taming wolfs/pigs with stars, do i need 2, or is there some genetics system ?
2x1* ensures a 1*young
and normral and 1* doesnt give them at all ?
50% chance or left to chance for a 1*
I don't know the specifics.
But once 2 acquired its easy bredding.
ty vm
Yw
the piggies inherits the star level of the boar that gives birth. if you have a starred and a non starred, each one has a 50% chance to get pregnant
To follow on with this: You can breed a 2* with a no-star, and have a 50% chance at either a 2* or no-star offspring. There are no other options.
Thanks for clarity on this. Food for thought indeed
It’s likely “technically” making contact with the ground, break the lowest part and see if it tumbles down?
its fully gone and still nothing
Huh, weird…
The bounding boxes can be larger than is visible. Try digging down a bit under it and those lowest pieces might still be somehow touching ground. Also remove the ladders if they're touching it, sometimes the intersections can be weird.
yeah, i had to dig about 2 quares down and it tumbled, thanks
Hey, a friend and I are hoping to do some large hammer-mode builds, but we need the modded hammers to be able to complete our larger projects (we are console players). Is any PC player around that could give us one or two at their nearest convenience?
Break more of it.
Anyone else have this happen? Work stations being completely sealed up, outright BURIED, and its too exposed? I dont get it
Probably clipped through a wall or floor to much
As far as I know, if someone gave you a modded hammer and you didn't have that mod on your world, then it would turn into a normal hammer. What is it you're trying to do?
I suppose, but shouldn't it be fine if the clipped part is also covered?
As long as it's all under roof I suppose so
You buried a workbench, but it says it's too exposed.
They game is not registering a roof and walls to cover it.
It was supposed to be a god hammer I believe? I know you can give console people modded items if the items itself has been tweaked? Idk tbh, I just know it’s used to put down shrubs/spawn thing in
Yeah I'm not 100% either, sorry .. hopefully someone else will chime in 🙂
I always forget the answer to this question, so: Does root chest and bonemass power stack?
no
Good
resistances don't stack, the better one overrides the lesser one (Very Resistant will override Resistant etc)
in this case, they're the same so doesn't matter
does anyone have a fishing pole bait and the thing that lets you carry more
what is the command for disable tutorial ?
Yes: Haldor
Options in the main menu
ty
if i hive you the gold can i have that stuff
Spawn it in if it's to much to work for and find haldor.
how
can anyone help me fight the elder? i was fighting him the way me and my friends use to fight him back in 2022 with fire arrows but he keeps getting pocket shamens and has moved his way to my spawn point for the fight and keeps killing me. edit nvm the shaman just stopped and walked off after a few minutes
Kill the little guys first and only fight him during the day
Youll always want to clean out area nearby of mibs and spawners before starting a boss fight
it was but the fight lasted long enough that night came
if I max out resources modifier, do I get like 100 wood from one tree?
Use the pillars to hide behind and blast him with fire arrows and just walk away from the roots
30 I think
You made a fine wood bow right?
yeah i killed him
Honestly, when I fight the Elder, I try and stay as close to him as possible. That ranged attack can be tough to deal with.
the range attack shouldn't snipe through the pillars though
yeah i was using the pillar trick the main issue i had was the shaman just kept pocketing him
If you build a house on his altar he’s super easy
You can get 42 from one normal tree. 3x that is 126
What’s pocketing him
it stayed behind him where i could not hit him
Healing probably
and just kept healing him. which healed more than i dealed
Holy moly that is insane!!
What tree drops 42?
Like I understand that’s not exactly a secret, but when you put it in writing it sounds like an insane amount lol
Beech drops up to 20 from each of two logs and 2 from stump
Or average 20? Idk what the wiki means exactly
40+ from one beech sounds completely normal
Sounds like a lot
Idk I’m doing a run where I have to constantly cut trees and it doesn’t feel that high for sure
But the wiki does seem to imply 20 wood per log
No its per log
I just feel like I wouldn’t of need so many trees if that was the case
I think
Should be pretty close to that, but you can also adjust the materials drop rate now if you need to
It's a nice QoL change for solo playing
Thats what the convo was about lol
Whats the best tactic for Bonemass? My friend and I can't beat him we already tried multiple times.
I heard stand on skull makes it easy
I just got a dedicated server and I need to make changes to the files. What is a good program for accessing a dedicated server?
Poison resistance, mace, people say yo flatten ground to avoid leeches
Roll out of his breath
Darn it’s been 3 years and Bonemass is still the big bully
Its the first big check
Anyone running console commands on PC Gamepass?
I'd imagine there are some, yes.
There's a guide linked in pins if you need
Thanks I'll check it. I keep trying but I'm getting an error every time I try to rename.
yeah I keep getting this crap not sure why I can't change it. I was able to do it previously.
See if that's where valheim is actually installed
it should be, I went through the xbox app itself to find the game location.
What happens if you remove space between exe and -console?
same thing
Dunno then, sorry. Havent used game pass much
np, appreciate it
I'm confused as to why your shortcut isn't aimed at valheim.exe as per the instructions.
Oh yeah lol
I didnt remember if it was named something else in gamepass
@shadow bridge
Am I safe in assuming star modifiers are multiplicative with world settings and not additive?
I’ve been told 2star on very hard is essentially 6 star so I think so
This screen might help if you find written instruction hard to follow: https://i.imgur.com/48vZDfL.jpg
Yes. So 2 star doubles an enemy's damage, and very hard doubles their damage. That means 2 star very hard enemy does 2x2 = 4x the damage of a normal zero star enemy
2 star enemies on hard and very hard are nightmare fuel. Typically just oneshots you if they're from your current biome and you don't have resistance to the damage type
what is the best weapon for fighting wolfs?
im tired of being ambushed on an edge
If you get ganged up, an aoe weapon like sledge or battleaxe
atgeir
If single wolves, any weapon, theyre not weak or resistant to anything
Im getting attacked while climbing
because of their height difference I keep missing my attacks
Good advice though, atgeir works really well for groups
Sledge would hit them
swords work well when on differing inclines.. .much better than polearms imo.
Or bow
Sledge attacks upwards too. Great in mountain dung too
I'd recommend running to somewhere where the ground is more flat and you can fight them. You should be able to make your way to a good spot even if it's a bit away as long as you're rested without getting hit
Have dodge or sword stab animation timings changed much?
I used to be able to get a 50% accurate manual stabroll and 95% accurate with a macro, several months ago.
Now, I'm getting < 5% accuracy manually, and ~50% with that exact same macro.
Any advice on how to retrain myself, and retime the macro for better consistency?
if this is a thing to consider, it was tested on a dedicated server
Could just be not great connection
should I test this singleplayer as well?
I wouldn't imagine something that to my understanding is handled clientside should have to worry about connection.
Could still be
Back to about 30% manual acc, but the timings seem different.
I'd honestly love to see the playercontroller script for this thing, but i doubt thats ever gonna happen.
Back to ~95% acc macro, I released too early. Manual remains garbage, and thats fine.
am i trippin, or with darkmetal axe i get more core/wood ?
You're trippin, sorry. :(
I accidentally spawned a giant sword in my base, can't seem to destroy it, anyone got any ideas for me to try and remove this abomination?
I was just looking to spawn a sword to hang on the wall, apparently I didn't pick the right one 😅
I believe it does yea
I can’t connecting my friends world but my friend can connecting my world. Does anyone have this situation before and what should i do🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Server*
are there levels in this discord server?
forcedelete command should do the trick, backup and save and try it with the same itemID you first used, in an open area first (to make sure it's deleting only the sword), then repeat in the base
nope, only players+staff, dev's have purple names, mods red and helpers green
Thank you! I'll give that a try :)
Is anyone using mods?
If you are both on the Steam, try the host should try disabling crossplay before starting their server and send a steam invite.
Forcedelete 50 <id you used to spawn the sword in>
Need help with mods on steam deck.. I can’t get any of farming mods working: farm grid does nothing, so does mass farming, even seed totem doesn’t show in the cultivator menu
#mods-issues channel for mod issues 😛
But I see you've already asked there
keep it to that channel moving forward please 
Can I increase the range of the workbench? Or it is just illusion that workbench in my base has larger radius than placed in the wild
I think we just place more workbench.
Workbench radius increases with each upgrade you give it, like the chopping block 🙂
Workbenches in the wild don't usually get upgraded so they're indeed smaller
by how much per level?
I plan to build new base in plains and I want to build a small wood workshop in the middle and build around it so everything will fit in it's range
you can place multiple benches and hide them underground or under rubble if you're worried about aesthetics, otherwise I don't think one workbench can cover as much as you're hoping
it was enough for my meadows base soo
it doesnt
it stays the same regardless of upgrade level
so what about this?
it's always 20 meter radius, no matter what
so why the one under the roof has bigger range?
it doesnt
Probably just camera perspective?
I dig my additional workbenches in or encapsulate in stone
looks like the circle isnt centered on the workbench you're focusing on
you probably have one that's closer
idk what to tell you, the build range is always 20 meters
yeah Samaramon was right
I'm sorry but you're wrong, I just tested it ingame
upgrades indeed increase range
I just demolished everything and the range was lower
before chopping block and after
ok, was about to say
level 1 and level 5 workbench
what patch was that?
Hildir
alright, i've pretty much not played since then
i was starting to look up patch notes
didnt show in #public-test-patchnotes
well i was wrong 
Can I flex now? ^^
sure lol
but now the question is: by how much the range increases
measure it with wood beams on flat ground
btw i was also checking the wiki of workbench, i didn't mention anything about range increases so it's not like i wasnt double checking 
I was also confused because of that
Seems to be two meters, just measured
so 40m radius is currently the maximum?
isnt that 2 meter beams, so 4 meters?
That's a surprise, I was sure it didn't increase. Honestly I don't see much point to that change, considering how easy it is to put up more workbenches, and it doesn't look like it increases a lot ?
Yeah mistyped, meant 2x2 lol
4 meters per upgrade is a lot
In other words: Derek's fault
posted in wiki channel
Hmm, I don't think so compared to the costs of crafting the workbench vs the upgrades. I'd still probably just put up more workbenches instead.
Reminder that wiki is made by humans and not nolifers that spend more time in valheim than irl like me
For extensive builds obviously, but it's still convenient that your main work bench has better range
It's a lot of clutter 😛
also probably doesnt increase spawn suppression range
it should be about 150%
or +50% range
Per upgrade?
Hmm, if it has different spawn supression vs build range, that could actually be more confusing/negative...
The spawn suppression matches the improved range
total with all upgrades
Is that also for the spawn suppression range?
It does
can't remember if we did that to be honest
spawn suppression is always 20 meters on all structures, including ward that has 32 meter build block range
so more inconsistencies if it was increased too lol
Inquiring minds want to know!
Upgrades do increases suppression range too, I tested it out a while back 😛 atleast for workbench
didn't test others but fair to assume they do too
ok from my test
lvl 1 workbench: 20m
lvl 5 workbech: 20m + 16m = 36m
so every level increases range by 4m
and if we get lvl 6 workbench then the max range will be 40m
muh inconsistencies 
is forge same increase? if so it would be 44 meters i think
cant see the notches in the wood becasue of the grass
Hey everyone. Can trolls break ground raised by a hoe? I've built a raised walk way across water to another island where there are trolls.. Can they break them?
They cannot
Raised ground cannot be lowered by anything other than a pickaxe or a hoe
Excellent stuff. Thank you. I'm so fed up of dying to troll attacks 🤭🤭
Learned something new about valheim with the workbench convo here. Thanks for that
Might also suggest digging a deep and wide trench. It will take longer and be more work, but you will gain some much needed stone for later in the game.
none of us using mod and we are both on steam. that's weird because my friend can get in my server in same way we didn't choose the crossplay. but thank you, i should try it again
Lesson learned, trust ME 😛
I can't do that as it's in the sea 🤭🤭🤭
I have done this around my whole Base which has made forest invasions a breeze. Nothing gets in so the forest calms pretty quickly 🤭🤭🤫🤫
Indeed, either way are good measures to keep things out of your base and your belongings safe!
I had a heart attack when a troll came out of his usual territory the other day... So I spent most of it building up the earth to protect the base...although my wolves killed it pretty quickly 👀👀🤭🤭
Wolves are OP, very good bois
Why tf is my roof collapsing... i have an entire pillar of walls, i have roofs all around it, i have floors, i have support beams. and it still collapes saying no support
Are the beams/floor touching the ground? Are they blue?
wdym are they touching the ground? the whole house is connected
Is it dark red when you place it?
when i place it its blue then degrades to red and collapes
make support beam out of corewood/ironwood/stone
dont have any of that
Wearing scraps, doubt they're there yet 😛
Its all about how short the direct distance from ground to the piece through other pieces. If its red its because its too far
i've given this thing all the support in the world but the crippling depression is too much for a thatch roof
Adding extra supports on the side is mostly just aesthetics
bruh what
so unless i make a stick going straight down, a million sticks on the side mean nothing?
Put vertical wood beams starting here and place them all the way into the ground.
Connect the middle bit with this? fill the triangle
the triagnle one didn't work but a simple stick straight through my house made it stay there
do walls count as support or do i need to use the beams
walls count
All wood counts as the same support, then core wood does a bit more, as does stone and metal
ty all
And wood can be stacked on stone so if you have a pillar of stone you can put wood on top and it will be blue=100%stable
Hiding raised ground is always a fun way to build higher
what does the different crosshairs mean, like the eye and the one when you're sneaking
Eye means theyll notice you
Isn’t it visibility
Cannot damage or remove this wall+ladder+horizontal 2m wood beam. On a server I don't have admin access to. Any suggestions?
“Light level of your position”
Relog or server restart I think
Which one isn’t up to you so that’s rough
Ayo
is there any way I can perform commands on someone else other than me, or give my friend devcommands?
Unfortunately no, only an active host can use devcommands
and can I use a command on someone else?
As in?
like for example raiseskill on my friend
Ah
It doesn't look like it, the command doesn't take a target player
Your friend could join a singleplayer world and use any commands they wish on their character before rejoining your server
fair enough
Quick question. Just about to kill yagluth. What gear should we max before seeking the mist
Max padded armor is good for sure, but preferably have your chest be max root chest from swamp
Maxed shield weapon and bow is good too. Tbh tho I don’t know if maxing those is really needed. Always good to be prepared if you’re scared
Frostner.
And get ooze bombs
Good eavning, i have a question, ive been at Hildir and i now know the location of 3 Howling cave, ive tryed geting to 1 of them, but its hiden behind Mistlands, and just got to second one and it seems to be the same, so question is, is the Howling cave always hiden behind Mistlands?
i hope im not that unlucky, first one is surrounded, the second one i just arived at, and it shares border with ashlands and mistlands atm, so still need to sail around, i pray the third one is not surrounded
Thank you
If you pop on Eikthyr power and light armor (maybe fenris if you have it) should be fairly safe to run through a small patch of mistlands into another biome or putting down a boat and sailing on. Always some risk tho
I mean the mobs cant see you easily if you also cant see them
If youre just crossing in a small distance its not that scary
Plus, im pretty sure even iron age stuff can deal with basic seekers if there are any, and you can probably run away from Gjall if you see or hear one
They can hear you though
Walking without a lamp is safer than with a lamp, unless youre doing alot of climbing
Their vision cone is at their feet or something idk
On my floor is lava run they can’t see me standing right next to them if the floor is at their knee level
can we somehow completly get rid of tar pool ?
You can drain it.
Dig a ditch so the tar can seep into it, pick up the tar and eventually it'll be (at least practically) gone.
sonce once tha mainpool will be gone, it will dissapear ?
how can i get this loot?
Jump from high up, and you go farther under water. Just make sure you have open inventory space and weight capacity
Below a certain depth you simply can't get it
Even if you see them and fall through them
True. But I don't think from that picture that they're there.
cant you build a cart, jump on it and retrieve them anyway ?
or does that now work in certain depth as well
Samaramon actually has a good video of a way to do it
Building down instead of jumping
@strong cairn
that still looks very easily gettable without underwater construction, especially with that raised terrain right next to it
True true
Gives you more time to grab though if you’re not falling as far as you need for auto pickup since grab range is further
so the tar will always be on the place, we just move it around ?
If you drain it into a wide, lower elevation, it will essentially dissappear
wide, got it, thanks
We're having a hard time progressing in Swamps. So far we found three Swamp biomes, the third of which was the Bonemass one. Found only two crypts in total, got 32 iron, and that's it. Nowhere nearly enough. Is it common for each swamp to contain so little iron?
Just bad luck, you need to find a bigger swamp. I've had like 11 crypts spawn in one swamp before
Alright, I guess we'll have to keep on looking then.
There was some guy with a screenshot of some crazy number of crypts in one swamp like over 50
hmmm maybe might be enough .... no.. definitly need more
I emptied it
Our Bonemass area is particularly painful, it has Plains all around it and Fulings invade it every now and then. We can't deal with those at all.
two almost identical ones and i don't remember which one had more
Did you use all the iron though
You sent me the seed for the 96 one
Most of it
definitely harder to do post-mistlands, and maybe not even possible, i'm not good enough at math to guess.
swamps used to go from 2000 to 7500 meters from the center, now it's 2000 to 6000. those numbers might not be accurate, it's been a while. but yea, to make up for that loss of swamp coverage, some swamp pois including swamp crypts got their totals lowered. for crypts it went from 400 to 175, and at least to me that seems like a bit of an overcorrection for the amount of swamp land lost.
At least mistlands also gives iron
barely any now that that "bug" has been patched 
?
Seems reversed of what should happen. If swamps become less. Why also lower crypt count. I think I'm misunderstanding
the ancient gear drops being 50/50 on copper and iron scrap.
at launch it was 100% iron, which makes sense if you look at the model. and-- oh right, i forgot viaducts exist and are still a great source of iron.
Smaller area but same number would make the swamps more dense, and they thought they were too drnse
Yeah i mostly tear down bridges for iron
Fair I guess. I do like dismantling the viaduct for mats. But I intend to build something around one sooner than later
some pois didn't get their totals adjusted, and now they completely cover swamps to the point where you can't walk 50 meters without stumbling upon them.
not sure if it's been fixed yet but those circles of unbreakable rocks with 3 monster spawners and sometimes a chest are iirc the worst offender
Wait there's bridges and viaduct
Oh, is there another biome we could farm? Or is Mistlands much harder than Swamps?
The image of my swamp above btw? Half of it got turned to mistlands in newer generations
Mistlands is biome #6, swamp is #3
Okay, nevermind.
mistlands are harder to survive and in the long run still less efficient for iron, but it's a change of scenery if you're tired of staring at black and green corridors while farming iron.
Had a few existing seeds get rearranged from version change. I had one with a large mountain that was right on the ocean.
I was taught to construct wooden buildings on beams, to place fires and auxiliary structures below the floor without having to worry about ventilation or space. Is this a pretty fringe technique? I don't see anybody else using this.
I’d say worrying about ventilation is a pretty important step in the building of a base, wouldn’t want to get smoked out
I usually don’t build campfires inside my house, I usually keep it outside, but close enough to keep my house warm. If you’re worried about rain, you could put a little shelter over it.
The fire is protected from rain because it's below the house.
Surely smoke comes up through the floor
No, it seems to pollute the area below the building for the most part.
As long as it doesn't smoke itself out, I guess you're fine
smoke needs 1x1 meter gap to escape
The vertical beams the building rests on are 2 m in height.
But a certain vertical space allows the smoke to dissipate as well. Albeit rather significant
By the way, is there anything wrong with partially leaving some of the walls of a simple building open to simplify the construction of the roof? Does it decrease comfort?
Nah
It might reduce how much of your room is considered sheltered but that shouldn’t really matter thaaat much
do these count as walls for shelter buff ?
i read mention of loading all your silver into a cart and yeeting it off the side of the mountain to get the whole mess down in one go... does this tend to work or will it just end up with a mountain corpse run and 16 tons of metal to recover?
You.. you’re not suppose to go off the side with it
you can guide it down the hill, i find that often more successful, but it often breaks free anyway cause its so heavy
yes they're solid
i figured it would be a process of getting it near an edge, disconnect and give it a little push. my main concern is having to rebuild the thing after every tumble
Ty
it usually doesnt break
alright, here we go then. thank you for the help 🙂
yeah that beat the hell out of making a dozen trips
And fun
i was about to say something about that... watching that thing tumbling down the side of the mountain was pretty great
Almost as fun as lake jumping a bicycle 🚲
take it easy, fonzie
Heyyyyyyy
i need to hit the barber station and see if i can rock a pompadour in-game
Ha that would be a sight
They have a bicycle in Valheim ?
No. That was a an irl example
400 to 300 would seem more reasonable
i'd say 200.
2000-7500 to 2000-6000 may be less than half of the length reduced, but it's further out so it's more space in a circle.
barely any point increasing it by 25 per world tho
if it's slightly too few crypts, a slight increase seems like the right thing to me
some swamps have none in them still
but i'd have to do math to figure out if it even is too few, and i don't remember how to calculate the volume of a circle 😅
that was also the case before the change
