Speak to the server owners for access.

Message them?

stoic trench
#

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

broken hatch
#

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

solemn osprey
#

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.

broken hatch
frail cave
spark shell
# broken hatch what about whenever i'm out and about? do i just have to deal with it?

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.

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?

vapid warren

You can only raise ground or dig down 8 meters from initial height

spare drift
#

any reason as to why

vapid warren
buoyant peak
#

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

#

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

stoic trench
#

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.

Ships don't take rain damage, do they?

spare badger

They take wave damage, which is likely during storms. Idk about rain itself 🤔

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.

#

frail cave
#

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

vapid warren
#

looks fresh yeah think was wondering if there might be mods leftover

#

try verifying game in steam

#

or uninstall, delete that folder, then reinstall

lilac coyote
#

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?

dusty grotto
#

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?)
pliant lodge
#

raids are dependant on mob and boss kills, so if you've not killed them on that world you should be good

dusty grotto
#

FIRE! thank you!

stoic trench
#

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?

pliant lodge
#

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

stoic trench
#

Yeah, it’s a bit confusing for sure.

lilac coyote
#

Honestly, it's hard to word that much clearer. it's just simply a bit of a muddle.

broken hatch
#

are enemy damage vulnerabilities and weaknesses based on damage type (slashing, piercing, blunt, etc) or weapon type (sword, axe, spear, etc)?

lilac coyote
#

Damage type.

broken hatch
#

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

frail cave
#

greydwarfs are neutral to all 3 physical damage types, oddly enough

broken hatch
#

huh. they do take a fair bit of damage from arrows too so that makes sense

rotund fulcrum
#

are iron tools the best tools avaible ?

#

utility, not combat

spark shell
#

No

frail cave
#

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||)

rotund fulcrum
#

danke

frail cave
#

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.

rotund fulcrum
#

do ||troll raids stop after bonemass?||

vapid warren
#

no

rotund fulcrum
#

damn

#

making port that cant be broken by trolls seems impossible

real nebula
#

By the time you get to bonemass trolls are a non issue tho

#

Huntsman with any arrow will take care of them very quickly

vapid warren
#

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

rotund fulcrum
#

and when it comes to the walls, are there any chunkier than stone walls ?

spark shell
#

If you build a wide enough moat, the walls are mostly for protection against ranged enemies.

rotund fulcrum
#

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

spark shell
#

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

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?

stoic trench
rapid ore
#

About the smouldering tomb, ||does brenna always spawn in them or only in the first?||

oblique hawk
#

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.

next zephyr
#

I guess you're travelling often, it didn't trigger the raid

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

#

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

real nebula
#

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

light acorn
#

Ah gotcha thanks. More iron to grind yay

neon bloom
#

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.

gloomy edge
#

Yes

#

This game pays no attention to holes in the 3d models

@gilded field something is indeed coming together but i kinda feel like itll be ugly when i finish

gilded field

The wall is coming together

Search youtube: valheim spiral staircase

tbh now im thinking maybe i should make it wider

#

I'm sorry can you capture a day shot

spare drift
#

yea sorry

gilded field
#

Ty

#

A nice visual aid for what I was describing

gilded field
#

You're welcome. What's the footprint of the build your on? Making a proper fort I gather?

spare drift
#

we used to have the chests and workshops inside the house but its too cramped now

gilded field
#

Ah sweet

spare drift
#

why is everything so low hp without even me doing anything bruh

gilded field
#

O.o structural hp?

spare drift
#

yes

#

like look why is it draining so quickly

#

its like a timebomb rn

gilded field
#

Hmm I'd wager you may have a bad iron beam connection or need more vertical support to bridge the span

spare drift
#

probably this connection

gilded field
#

Track it down. Or rather up and out

spare drift
#

ill have to redo so much stuff if i want to even it out man

gilded field
#

Along the long faces of your skeleton put another vertical support beam. Looks like you go a long distance

gilded field
#

That's where you see your hp degradation correct? In the middle of the span

spare drift
#

yea

#

here right?

gilded field
#

Find center of your edge on each long face and throw up a pole

#

That put you at 3-4x2m tiles/panels

#

Between supports

spare drift
#

should i make more? since its a very long building

gilded field
#

How many 2m beams do you go before the span turns green to orange

spare drift
#

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

gilded field
#

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

spare drift
#

all of them are green now

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)

spare drift
#

@gilded field man the building looks monotonous af but ig it serves its purpose, i cant make good looking buildings yet

gilded field
#

Get the structure and stability principles down. Then tweak and perfect your aesthetic

spare drift
#

yea i should get the skull complete first, stability is good im just making walls now

gilded field
quick void
#

I've no ideea how to do that

#

If you can tell me how I'd greatly appreciate it

gilded field
#

Some of these tricks made a difference. Full screen mode and adjusting lod bias

quick void
#

yeah I did try the lod bias thing

#

watched the exact same video

gilded field
#

Exclusive full screen mode

quick void
#

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

gilded field
#

You running vulkan or base

quick void
#

base tried vulkan too

gilded field
#

Same

quick void
#

it happens regardless

gilded field
#

Yea. I've experienced this as well.

quick void
#

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

gilded field
#

This experience is solo or dedicated server

quick void
#

I play on a server currently, issue happens in solo as well

gilded field
#

More palpable on a server ofc

quick void
#

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?

gilded field
#

Yea it seems so.

quick void
#

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.

spare drift
#

i ran out of iron :/ crypts here i come

gilded field
#

Found that in a steam forum convo

quick void
#

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

gilded field
#

Perhaps a mob spawn check? Skeletons often spawn at these

quick void
#

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

gilded field
#

You watching a process monitor to track this thing?

quick void
#

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

gilded field
quick void
#

Wish I knew how to do that.

gilded field
#

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.

quick void
#

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

gilded field
#

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.

quick void
#

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

gilded field
#

May I suggest an island. Far out from land as possible. Nice low instance count to start with.

quick void
#

Nah I just need a place without a black forest

gilded field
#

Heh I get you

quick void
#

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

gilded field
#

Yea it seems hardware deficiency only accentuates the issue

quick void
#

i swear i had less issues on my potato pc

gilded field
#

You tried the vsync trick as well I'm guessing?

quick void
#

Yes. v sync on and off uncapping the frames capping the frame rate

#

tried a lower resolution monitor

gilded field
#

Fast vsync 60fps cap

quick void
#

did that done that. I went through a lot

#

switch a graphics card for good measure

gilded field
#

Yea I can tell. Way past the updated drivers 😉

quick void
#

I updated the bios as well mate

#

This is eating me alive

gilded field
#

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

quick void
#

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

gilded field
#

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

quick void
#

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

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

i just gave up trying to repair it lol it doesnt break it anyway

If it still takes damade then youre either not using roof or youve not covered it

yea but its the side walls

thats not supposed to have a roof

Even if the edge of the roof touches the top it it would cover enough

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

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?

since plains flowers require us to "move" to plains to grow them, does mistlands do the same thing ?

Yeah, and still requires open air above, despite growing in mist

also, how does it work new bioms and old maps ? when the patch drops

fathom badge
#

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.

rotund fulcrum
#

so the new ashlands will override the old ones ?

fathom badge
#

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.

stoic trench

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 😉

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.

you probably have one that's closer

viscid geyser
#

but that's the only workbench I have built

#

I'm now so confused

vapid warren
#

idk what to tell you, the build range is always 20 meters

viscid geyser
#

yeah Samaramon was right

mighty ruin
viscid geyser
#

upgrades indeed increase range

#

I just demolished everything and the range was lower

mighty ruin
#

before chopping block and after

vapid warren
#

ok, was about to say

viscid geyser
#

level 1 and level 5 workbench

vapid warren
#

what patch was that?

buoyant peak
#

Hildir

vapid warren
#

alright, i've pretty much not played since then

vapid warren
#

i was starting to look up patch notes

#

well i was wrong dogkek

mighty ruin
#

Can I flex now? ^^

vapid warren
#

sure lol

viscid geyser
#

but now the question is: by how much the range increases

vapid warren
#

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 dogkek

viscid geyser
mighty ruin
viscid geyser
#

so 40m radius is currently the maximum?

vapid warren
formal void
#

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 ?

mighty ruin
#

Yeah mistyped, meant 2x2 lol

vapid warren
formal void
#

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.

mighty ruin
#

Reminder that wiki is made by humans and not nolifers that spend more time in valheim than irl like me

buoyant peak
#

For extensive builds obviously, but it's still convenient that your main work bench has better range

vapid warren
jade pawn
#

or +50% range

buoyant peak
formal void
#

Hmm, if it has different spawn supression vs build range, that could actually be more confusing/negative...

buoyant peak
#

The spawn suppression matches the improved range

jade pawn
willow raft
jade pawn
#

ah

#

um

buoyant peak
#

It does

jade pawn
#

can't remember if we did that to be honest

vapid warren
#

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

willow raft
spark shell
#

didn't test others but fair to assume they do too

viscid geyser
#

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

vapid warren
viscid geyser
#

I haven't tested forge yet, only workbech

#

I think it's 3m per level for forge

vapid warren
#

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

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

mighty ruin
#

Are the beams/floor touching the ground? Are they blue?

frail oracle
#

wdym are they touching the ground? the whole house is connected

mighty ruin
#

Is it dark red when you place it?

frail oracle
#

when i place it its blue then degrades to red and collapes

dont have any of that

vapid warren
frail oracle
#

i've given this thing all the support in the world but the crippling depression is too much for a thatch roof

vapid warren
#

Adding extra supports on the side is mostly just aesthetics

frail oracle
#

bruh what

#

so unless i make a stick going straight down, a million sticks on the side mean nothing?

subtle parrot
#

Put vertical wood beams starting here and place them all the way into the ground.

mighty ruin
#

Connect the middle bit with this? fill the triangle

frail oracle
#

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

spark shell
#

walls count

vapid warren
#

All wood counts as the same support, then core wood does a bit more, as does stone and metal

frail oracle
#

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

Quick question. Just about to kill yagluth. What gear should we max before seeking the mist

marble roost
#

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

limpid vessel
#

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?

vapid warren
#

No, thats just bad luck

#

Though they also might not be surrounded by mistlands

limpid vessel
#

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

marble roost
#

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

hoary bear
#

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

vapid warren
#

They can hear you though

Walking without a lamp is safer than with a lamp, unless youre doing alot of climbing

rotund fulcrum
#

can we somehow completly get rid of tar pool ?

oblique hawk
#

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.

rotund fulcrum
#

sonce once tha mainpool will be gone, it will dissapear ?

strong cairn
#

how can i get this loot?

fathom badge
vapid warren
#

Below a certain depth you simply can't get it

#

Even if you see them and fall through them

fathom badge
#

True. But I don't think from that picture that they're there.

rotund fulcrum
#

cant you build a cart, jump on it and retrieve them anyway ?

#

or does that now work in certain depth as well

frail cave
#

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

rotund fulcrum
#

so the tar will always be on the place, we just move it around ?

real nebula
#

If you drain it into a wide, lower elevation, it will essentially dissappear

rotund fulcrum

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?

spare badger
#

Just bad luck, you need to find a bigger swamp. I've had like 11 crypts spawn in one swamp before

boreal rock
#

Alright, I guess we'll have to keep on looking then.

frail cave
vapid warren
#

My map(pre mistland) had 84 in one

#

Winter has one that had 96 pre mistlands

still pendant
#

hmmm maybe might be enough .... no.. definitly need more

vapid warren
#

I emptied it

boreal rock
#

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.

frail cave
#

two almost identical ones and i don't remember which one had more

gilded field
#

Did you use all the iron though

vapid warren
vapid warren
gilded field
#

Heck yea

#

I've yet to find a seed with a swamp so dense in crypts

vapid warren
#

Best bet is one thats wide, not thin

#

Crypts numbers were nerfed in mistlands

frail cave
#

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.

vapid warren
#

At least mistlands also gives iron

frail cave
#

barely any now that that "bug" has been patched catcry

vapid warren
#

?

gilded field
#

Seems reversed of what should happen. If swamps become less. Why also lower crypt count. I think I'm misunderstanding

frail cave
#

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.

vapid warren
vapid warren
gilded field
#

Fair I guess. I do like dismantling the viaduct for mats. But I intend to build something around one sooner than later

frail cave
#

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

gilded field
#

Wait there's bridges and viaduct

The image of my swamp above btw? Half of it got turned to mistlands in newer generations

Had a few existing seeds get rearranged from version change. I had one with a large mountain that was right on the ocean.

boreal rock
#

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.

stoic trench
#

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.

boreal rock
#

The fire is protected from rain because it's below the house.

gilded field
#

Surely smoke comes up through the floor

boreal rock
#

No, it seems to pollute the area below the building for the most part.

real nebula
#

As long as it doesn't smoke itself out, I guess you're fine

vapid warren
#

smoke needs 1x1 meter gap to escape

boreal rock
#

The vertical beams the building rests on are 2 m in height.

gilded field
#

But a certain vertical space allows the smoke to dissipate as well. Albeit rather significant

boreal rock
#

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?

frail cave
#

Nah

#

It might reduce how much of your room is considered sheltered but that shouldn’t really matter thaaat much

rotund fulcrum
#

do these count as walls for shelter buff ?

frail cave
#

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?

No. That was a an irl example

halcyon crag
frail cave
#

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.

halcyon crag
#

barely any point increasing it by 25 per world tho

frail cave
#

if it's slightly too few crypts, a slight increase seems like the right thing to me

halcyon crag
#

some swamps have none in them still

frail cave

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 😅
