[stoic trench]

I don’t know, I think it’s unique and immersive. Expanding your base out feels like your base organically grows.

[willow raft]

They drop the resources to make wall pieces.

[vapid warren]

Yeah, the workbench helps transforms wood into build pieces

[spark shell]

exactly the point. you bring workbenches so you can make thoses

[marble roost]

I mean I'll be honest I live in a world that seems to have more advanced technology and knowledge (disregarding magic) and I'm still too dumb to take a pile of planks and just place them into a freestanding neat row immediately in front of me within a second. Building a house with them would likely take me years and be so bad

[stoic trench]

I will say, I think it’s just one ‘hoop’ and that’s placing the station, right?

[vapid warren]

But this is a help channel and the discussion has veered away from that, so I think we can move on, because people can agree to disagree

[spark shell]

I tend to just bury the benches underground, never bothered me

[willow raft]

Yeah but why not have one workbench where you make the planks, then take those planks where you want a wall and "nailing" the wall together.

[real nebula]

It would add unnecessary complexity, imo

Current method is simple enough to work with, and the workstation radius is fairly generous

[opaque ferry]

okay okay this direction of the point made is going backwards, it is what it is and its not that impressive. I'm no creator, but the game is Very much fun, Enjoy it all but the building in my opinion based on the table types could of been better thought out.

[vapid warren]

Smh mod trying to revive a dying offtopic convo

[real nebula]

But as Larsi said, this is a help channel. Feel free to offer a proper suggestion in #suggestions and then discuss it respectfully in #suggestion-discussion.

[opaque ferry]

@real nebula yea! No! I'm not joining the Circus To hop through hoops to make an observation for all to grasp. LMFAO

[willow raft]

Same with a paved road, why not make the stones at a stonecutter, transport them with a cart, take the ones you need and place them down.
I know it would add a bunch of complexity to the game and I don't see it changing but it would appear more logical than having a bunch of workbenches and stonecutters around to make a base / road and to fix your base if it gets damaged.
Though working your workbenches and stonecutters into the base can also be fun.

[lilac coyote]

Did ANYONE get that?

[haughty hinge]

I don't think we're supposed

[real nebula]

Let's move along, now

[rancid jasper]

Heyo. This might be a wall of text but here goes anyway.

The wife and I has been playing this on and off since early access launch. Completed a couple playthroughs with different friends when Plains was the last biome.

That changed somewhere along the line, where one of us will join someone playing, the other already playing got forcibly disconnected and on rare occasions also forcibly restarting our Discords if we were in a call.

In the beginning, we just had to try a couple more times and eventually we would both be able to get in and stay in, but as time went on, it took longer and longer for us to get it to work. We decided to try Mistlands with some friends about a year ago, and we tried for several hours to log in. She has yet to experience Mistlands, I joined some other friends just fine. It feels specifically when it is us playing together on each our devices from home and I have no idea how to fix this. We just want to be ready for another run of Mistlands so we can tackle anlther new run of Ashlands with a bigger friend group when it arrives.

Edit: We have not had any issues like this with any other games we are playing, be it Phasmophobia, Core Keeper, Escape Simular, It Takes Two etc. It's only Valheim.

[willow raft]

What are you both playing on?
Using one copy of the game?
What is the network setup you are using?

@rancid jasper

[still summit]

Hey guys I am curious, does anyone know if all your character data is client-sided, or is it stored in some kind of backend? If I install Valehim on another PC, will I have access to my characters?

[rancid jasper]

• Both playing on PC, same type of PC, bought them together.

• Seperate steam accounts and seperate copies of the game.

• Wireless (if that is what you are asking)

[vapid warren]

Wireless is very unreliable

[willow raft]

Should be cloud saved unless you specify otherwise, there are 2 safe files, world saves and character saves, you can find copies of them in your game folder though.

[vapid warren]

Its stored client side, but bybdefault stored on your steam cloud as well

[willow raft]

Can you try wired or is that a no go?
Are there any other things on the wireless, maybe a neighbor connected or extra appliances that are eating bandwidth, ...

[lilac coyote]

Three if you count both world files.

[willow raft]

True. Both in the same map though if that hasn't changed.

[rancid jasper]

We do not have a wire, sadly.

No neighbours or other people, but we have the usual other devices "on" but not in use (Switched being in sleep mode in their docks and phones inactive). It's been completely fine for the most part but it changed and gradually got worse about three/four years ago(?) untill now where Valheim specifically does not work with us, but everything else does with no issues.

[willow raft]

When was the last time you did a clean "install" of the wireless setup?
Have you tried verifying the Valheim gamefiles or a clean valheim install, make a backup of worlds and characters you want to keep though, they should be saved on the cloud but just to be sure.

[rancid jasper]

• Probably never. No idea how to do that.

• Verifying gamefiles has been attempted numerous times but not complete reinstalls. I will try that right away on both of our accounts right away.

[halcyon crag]

even devices seemingly doing nothing can be downloading updates and having network traffic that can slow you down

[valid edge]

are you direct connecting to other players or trying to connect to a dedicated server?

[rancid jasper]

We have tried both.

[gilded field]

You both connect fine to other games?

[valid edge]

odd that other games work but not valheim, it doesnt have heavy network requirements, sounds almost like a port conflict, but that would be a really unique situation, did the isp give you a wireless router or did you buy one?

[halcyon crag]

valheim also has a chunkmaster issue, if someone with poor connection enters an area first, the rest experience lag and for wireless connections that can be enough to boot you

[gilded field]

That's a powerful lag compensation

[willow raft]

You'll need the book or website from the manufacturer, there you'll get to know how to reset your wireless and reconfigure it.

[valid edge]

even on wireless g should be enough unless there's 50 microwaves or trains coming through non stop

you gave your wife the crappy hand me down PC didn't' you

[digital magnet]

Hey, I was looking at these patch notes and you can apparently apply portal settings to move anything? Was there guide on this?

[halcyon crag]

it was in the notes when it was implemented

youtubers may have done a guide but the staff here don't publish anything like that

[rancid jasper]

So I feel really stupid, but I was able to get both of us in on a new server first try after uninstalling and installing again. It however gave me a 37 sec delay before I was able to join discord, but that, too, worked.

Checking if it works if we both join someone else, either way, thanks for the idea, @willow raft .

[rancid jasper]

Provided by ISP when we moved here like 7-9 years ago. It works for everything else.

[halcyon crag]

if it hasn't been refreshed on their end for a while that can cause lag

[gilded field]

I was having trouble staying connected to a dedicated server. My machine was struggling with fps until I fixed the problem on my end. Could the chunk master system also boot someone for this scenario

[halcyon crag]

there are a bunch of factors that could cause connection loss, a few guys here can read the logs so if you want exacting info they are the ones to seek, but i have a good nose for where issues lie usually

[valid edge]

2 suggestions that may not fix your issue but should help overall - 7-9 years on the same router hardware is asking for trouble from a security, dependability, and feature standpoint, request an updated router from the ISP, make sure it supports the speed you are paying for, if the problem PC is a desktop, try an external usb type wifi dongle, same if it's a laptop, integrated wifi can be a weak point for desktops and laptops. there is all kinds of fancy new wifi protocals that help with throughput and latency

[gilded field]

I've only recently looked into finding the server logs. I'm not host or admin of the servers in question.

[rancid jasper]

Already done, got a router after the issues had already been present, but nothing changed.

But good news, everyone! It has been a long time since we have tried troubleshooting it, and somehow, years later, uninstalling and reinstalling fixed itself completely.

I am so sorry for coming here being an amateur about this, but you have no idea how relieved and happy we are and will have a blast informing our friends of how absolutely inept we are.

Thank you so much!

[valid edge]

ye old turn it off and back on again, glad you got it fixed

[rancid jasper]

(I have been googling fixes for this every few weeks for years, but haven't found anything new, and we have reinstalled it before too).

At this point, I hope it is not a fluke.

Thanks for solving in 5 minutes what we have struggled with for 3 years.

[valid edge]

well he is technically asking for valheim help....

lol

[fathom badge]

That's more of a post for #1024264966712340510 , this is more advice or game bug type help 😉

[polar hemlock]

oh ok ! my bad on that

[sturdy hill]

I'm just enquiring but when you're defeating draugr what skill level roughly can you easily defeat them without dying in 2 hits

[gilded field]

Glad you both get to play together again. Troubleshooting is an acquired taste.

[fathom badge]

No worries. It's not a big deal, we just try to keep grouping chats to a minimum in the channels because it makes it hard for everyone else to see what's going on, and to search up relevant info.

[polar hemlock]

well for that, i am trying to flatten the terrain over my domain bot some parts of it seem indestructible, is that normal ?

[valid edge]

try a pickaxe

[fathom badge]

You can only raise/lower terrain 8m from it's starting elevation max in Valheim

[polar hemlock]

i was using both a hoe and a blackmetal pickaxe on that

[valid edge]

yea world limit then

[polar hemlock]

that would explain the problem

[gilded field]

Hit the limit

[marble roost]

Hard to say, just depends on player skill. The in game skill levels don't matter a whole ton I wouldn't focus too hard on them. You can beat draugr with no skill in any weapons or anything

[willow raft]

Hope it stays that way.

[marble roost]

Gear and food is a lot more important

[fathom badge]

I've found making some terracing and such is about the best way around that kind of limitation, or you need to raise the other ground to the level you want (which can take a lot of stone)

[polar hemlock]

by the way, anyone else tend to have equipment disappear when using the active slots mod ?

[fathom badge]

I'd argue food is the most important. I will use two biome behind gear over two biome behind food.

[marble roost]

I agree

[fathom badge]

That's more of a #mods-issues question, this channel is for vanilla game so info isn't contradictory

[marble roost]

Food also tends to be the easier (although maybe not quickest) to get going.

I love me some biome skipping for food ;)

[gilded field]

Amazing how far troll armor can carry with proper food backing it

[polar hemlock]

i see, thanks

[sturdy hill]

I will try that once I retrieve my dropped inventory from where I died on the edge of the swamp biome

[halcyon crag]

yeh tricky one, if the chunk master has jitter it kind of reverberates out and can knock everyone off, of course having bad fps yourself won't help the situation either

[marble roost]

It's all a learning experience but you got this!

[fathom badge]

Not me using Fenris through the Mistlands for 90% of everything...

[marble roost]

I've done several permadeath runs carrying troll into mountains bc its pretty strong, much easier to get than root, and I don't want to get weighed down by Iron

[shy shard]

Same I always do that

[gilded field]

Agreed. I was correlating what you said about lag to the same experience of frame drop.

[shy shard]

Good quality foods relative to your state of progression + an upgraded shield can do a lot for protection

[halcyon crag]

yes but that can be network lag or machine lag, depending

[shy shard]

Don't need to slow yourself down with armor

[marble roost]

On Very Hard I'm finding biome skipping almost essential to progressing. And food is the easiest biome skip (turnips in BF, Onions in BF or swamp, black marble in plains)

[fathom badge]

There's a reason the winner of the Trial of Tyr skipped Bonemass and only went back after they had the Frostner

[gilded field]

Of course Troll armor does have its limits. Plains may be the general cut off? I have seen some rocking it into Mist though. Wouldn't be me

[pearl plume]

Can you tell me if clothes from Hildir affect stamina drain while reeling?

[fathom badge]

They don't. Only when using the hammer, cultivator or hoe.

[shy shard]

Why is it essential

Because you skip certain tiers of raids?

I never finished Valheim yet, but as long as there's no tar growth raid it should be fine

[marble roost]

Because you get pumelled by enemies doing 2x damage if you don't get some good tech going early. Unless you're just cheesing everything with bows and atgeirs and such

[shy shard]

Tell me there's no tar growth raids

[fathom badge]

There are not

[marble roost]

There's not :)

[shy shard]

Odin is Merciful

[shy shard]

I haven't tried higher difficulty settings to be honest

[fathom badge]

The raids from Hildir's quests can be pretty rough though

[shy shard]

But if I'm playing singleplayer I get parries off most of the time

[marble roost]

it's rough. Any big enemies oneshot you, parries fail against anything but basic mobs, etc.

[shy shard]

Can't you cheese it by somehow taming wolves

Tame 2* wolves and gg

[marble roost]

Yeah parries can be unreliable on Very Hard. You really need to get a max level shield, decent block skill, and still not engage 2 star enemies or the big guys of each biome. Because they just do too much damage for parries to succeed

[marble roost]

Yeah prob. I'm pretty sure tamed wolves also retain the mob damage buff on very hard, so 2 star very hard tamed wolves do 480 damage or so per hit

wait lemme check

[gilded field]

I think your focus on better foods coupled with better block armor will change this? I'm probably wrong

[marble roost]

My b, 280 slash damage

[marble roost]

Yea, high level shield as soon as possible, some block skill (kinda want a block trainer), and good food will help. The food is all about the hp so going triple hp food in a crypt or something is nice for reliable parries and being able to tank 1 or 2 hits

[halcyon crag]

even with the best food available those mobs hit like a truck

[light acorn]

Yeah that fenring I e mage raid wrecked me

[marble roost]

Root chest helps so much on Very Hard. Basically returns piercing mobs to their Normal mode damage just from the pierce resist

[gilded field]

Yea I've noticed there is a limit to the block system vs certain mobs

[fathom badge]

Starred Fenrings and Cultists, whee!

[digital magnet]

yes so apparently you can't modify dedicated server files on Linux but you have to move the world files to singleplayer?

[marble roost]

I really want fenris armor but tbh I may do a quick trip to gather some fire resist before going in ice caves

[digital magnet]

to apply moving raw ores through portals you cant simply do it through modifying server files on Linux? Sorry about this.

[gilded field]

May prove useful with the new raids being experienced

[gilded field]

Try #linux

Otherwise it should be in the world modifiers.

[spare drift]

is this enough to challenge yagluth? should i get better eq?

[fathom badge]

So, you should be able to specify the modifiers in the server options when starting, or you can modify the world in single player and upload it, but you can't do it both ways. Just one or the other. You can't just modify the world files in place in any way on any system, though. You might ask in #dedicated-server if you need further clarification.

[halcyon crag]

fire res wine?

[fathom badge]

Looks legit to me. Don't ever be without food, you'll be screwed in a raid, and you want some fire resist potions for Yagluth.

[spare drift]

ah okay

[digital magnet]

Thank you for this. Applying the keys on start-up would be the best

[fathom badge]

If you need any arrows against Yagluth you want to use frost arrows, BTW. Make sure you use his altar stones as cover 😉

[spare drift]

also i hate how our pot keeps getting extinguished

[fathom badge]

Needs more ventilation. Your smoke is putting the fire out.

[tulip sun]

why is it like this

[rapid ore]

In the "You get the chills" event, ||i get fenrings spawning. On the wiki it says cultist will spawn in the event? Is it only a chance for them to spawn or is that a mistake?||

[fathom badge]

There's a cooldown for some potions, specifically stamina and health potions. Try a tasty mead that has no cooldown, and increases your stamina regen rate instead of just giving you straight stamina.

[tulip sun]

it's always like this with a red mark on it

[fathom badge]

It should only show up after using a stamina potion, and the timer under it counts down until you can drink another one.

[frail cave]

that's there to tell you that you can't drink another one until this cooldown is over

[spare drift]

which game is your steam background from lol?

[subtle parrot]

As someone who works in construction, you need work benches and tools to make things lol you are correct it would take years for one person to build a house. Anywho.. the snap point update was seriously an awesome change, it made building on xbox so much better. I love it.

[tulip sun]

dont starve together

[frail cave]

Amazing game^

[spare drift]

not that one haha

pretty sure dst doesnt have anime girls

[frail cave]

Haven’t played in awhile have you?

Nah jkjk

[spare drift]

wait seriously lol ik you were playing

[frail cave]

That would be so wild

[fathom badge]

This is still help, we can chat in #valheim-chat 😉

[stoic trench]

100%, I’m also in construction and essentially, there are ‘workbenches’ everywhere. Job boxes, scaffolding, etc, there are so many resources. Heck, there’s even hot plates for cooking food scattered around lol. Maybe that’s why I like the building in Valheim, it feels like a simplified construction project lol

Personally, I find setting up my work area first to be extremely beneficial. Flatten your land, place down your workbenches, forges, and stonecutters to cover a wide radius. Bring your materials and set them in piles or in chests, and I always build a small trailer/shack for working out of.

[frail cave]

One of my tamed boars in a well established group of tamed boars has suddenly gone wild!! It's really weird... Anyone else had this issue? I've had to corner it off and start the taming process.....

[fathom badge]

Is it possible that it wasn't in range of a base structure (workbench, campfire, etc.) and so it was just a wild one that happened to spawn in the area there?

[frail cave]

Not possible as the whole area they're in is within range of all of those things. It's absolutely bizarre

[vapid warren]

Modded?

[frail cave]

My whole Base is within a built up earth wall and the fenced within pens with camp fires and work benches... Could it be a random glitch... I'm not modded either

[stoic trench]

Are you saying it became untamed? Or did it just start running around?

Do tamed boars still get frightened from fire? Maybe that’s what’s going?

[frail cave]

I logged on to find my wolves in the next pen going crazy and trying to attack the walls... And the boar running around with its tag red...

[fathom badge]

Not any more, no.

[frail cave]

All fires are fenced off and I've had the camp established for a good month or so with no changes

[fathom badge]

Is that on a server? It sounds like someone else might have been playing with mods or commands and untamed or spawned in some animals. I've never heard of it happening as a bug.

[vapid warren]

Could be slow loading that allowed for a spawn too

[frail cave]

No it's my own private game with no mods

[vapid warren]

Either way if not mods, its just some fluke you'll probably not have to worry about again

[frail cave]

I've got 900mb speeds and sometimes it's way too fast for the game but... As I said... I've been established with the boars for over a month... Its so weird

[frail cave]

I hope so. I made a new world and had a boar that would never tame 😂😂 I guess it makes it interesting

[fathom badge]

It's not network speed, it'd be loading from disk and memory, largely bound by your CPU

[frail cave]

mid left of the camp , ive had to section the wild boar off with a log fence...so odd

[marble roost]

could also kill it 😈

[frail cave]

That's exactly what I've done, because after three in game sleeps it still wasn't taming... So I've fed it to the wolves 😂😂

Thanks everyone for suggestions

[spare drift]

what do we do with torn souls?

[real nebula]

is that the yagluth drop?

ah, yes it is

[marble roost]

should have unlocked a build piece for your hammer

[real nebula]

take it to a stonecutter with some stone and open your hammer menu, you should've unlocked a new piece yeah

[small nest]

you should build it to progress further into next biome

[spare drift]

afaik, valheim is not complete right now yes

will new bosses be added

[real nebula]

correct

two more fully fledged biomes, at least two more bosses

[vapid warren]

At least 2 more bosses, next one before july

Fingers crossed for more minibosses and ocean stuff

[small nest]

for me oceans are completed, i dont feel like ocean deserves any uptades, alright maybe fishing because its broken

[ornate brook]

Nah oceans can use so much love the more and more you think about it

[haughty hinge]

How's it completed? It almost has nothing, and could have so many..😭

[small nest]

examples?

serpents are enough for biome that is used only to transport goods, the only thing that could be changed is "life" of ocean, some birds flying, some fishes bathing in water

[green crystal]

Imagine other boats with draugr to fight. How about whales? Or dolphins that try to lead your boat? Giant octopus? Rogue Waves (omfg my terror would be unleashed seeing a tidal wave I could never hope to survive)?

Let us dive underwater and then we have reefs, sunken shit, and deep down monsters.

[haughty hinge]

How do you want to get examples of nothing? There are only serpents atm, which are 99% safe for you as soon as you reach plains.

[green crystal]

As soon as you get ice arrows.

[small nest]

fire arrows better 😆

[vapid warren]

This is the help channel 👀

[small nest]

oh lord i wont do this mistake again

[haughty hinge]

Help the ocean biome

[gilded field]

Put in suggestions. That's good stuff. However we aren't the only ones who would enjoy a more fleshed out ocean

[small nest]

what type of damage does wolf have?

[frail cave]

wolves deal slash damage

[small nest]

im not asking why but alright 😢

root armour aint useful as i thought

[frail cave]

I know on the wiki page it says cheat commands dont work on a multiplayer serer but I know I've seen admins in godmode, flying and teleporting so they have to work to some degree right?

[vapid warren]

Mods

[frail cave]

So I wont have anyway to check on people without mods then ?

[vapid warren]

Not unless you host from your game

[frail cave]

Thats rough. I guess I'll need to go to mods discussion channel then but is that something I can do server side so no one has to have mods ? I guess I could also just not worry about it I suppose

Getting more new people than I expected so legitimacy is more of a concern now

[vapid warren]

No idea

Are you not vetting people?

[gilded field]

What would your vetting process look like Larsi

[frail cave]

Idk how to go about that

Also seems rough to narrow down who I let join when the world settings already make it so very narrow

[vapid warren]

Fair. Im not sure. Is your server details just in the open on your discord or do they have to be given access? An extra step for potential griefers if they at least gotta ask for permission

[frail cave]

I dm the ip/port and password for each person

I usually try to talk to them for a moment as well

[vapid warren]

Alright, fair. Probably as much as you can do ye

[subtle parrot]

Exactly what i do lol

[karmic charm]

Ancient root question: When the root is all dried up is it better to leave the tap on it or take it off and wait to put it back on?

[vapid warren]

Swap back and forth between two roots

[gilded field]

This explains my build style as well. "Organization is the key to production"

[marble roost]

Best practice I’d say would be to set up several of them on all the nearby roots and keep them there. But if you only have one best to swap yea

[strong forge]

The roots regenerate, just place a few taps and farm round-robin

[boreal rock]

Guys, how many hours did your first playthrough take? I'm already 90 hours into my first normal game and I'm currently suffering through Mistlands, never even found the trader.

[lilac coyote]

90 to Mistlands is pretty darned quick.

[boreal rock]

Really? I thought I was doing absolutely terrible.

Somebody told me an average playthrough is 45 hours with the current content.

[real nebula]

I think I took about 100h and change to beat bonemass, the first time

Granted I spent a lot of time building

[frail cave]

imagine like npc vikigns in those abandonded villages that u can raid and loot

and they are as strong as players so u gotta be careful and go with a raid party rather than solo

[lilac coyote]

Um, no? Any other vikings on Valheim are long gone.

[frail cave]

should make an mmo option where u can go raid others in large servers then

[boreal rock]

Currently running Porcupine + Black Metal Tower Shield in Mistlands. Is Mistwalker a sensible first upgrade to this? Don't have 10 black cores yet, though, found only 1 in the second Infested Mine so far.

Just red.

I'm trying to play valheim for the first time. I was playing on my own server with a friend for about an hour everything was working fine didn't change any settings. All of a sudden my pc went black screen and kept flickering. Kept trying again kept doing the same or just fully crashing. I've tried many fixes and nothing works. Anyone have any ideas i would be insanely thankful we want to play this game together so bad

[shell tartan]

i was looking at eikthyr and he said something like "bring me to the river.... drop me in the water...." but after going to the meadows and putting him in there nothing happened. did i do something wrong? should i mount his head again

If I don't go to the Ashlands in my current Valheim world until the update, does this mean it will generate after the update like it belongs in it ? Kinda like Minecraft?

[halcyon crag]

wasn't Eikthyr it was a fish xD

Eikthyr however does have a few lines if you stand in the right spot

[shy shard]

@lilac coyote @halcyon crag I see you put a thumbs up, so does this mean it's going to work ? Can we partially explore the biome, and the unexplored parts will generate after the update following the update ?

[spark shell]

the game generates stuff a lot farther than you can see, not sure exactly but stuff around a few hundred metres away from you get generated (like around 400-500m i think?) so even getting closer to ashlands will mess up a significant area.

[shy shard]

okay so we can visit it in a smal point and then travel to the other side of the world and it'll be fine

[mystic solar]

I believe you can try to load a previous save. Apart from that, it is a known bug that xbox might eat your world if you don't log out and close down cleanly, from what I've read (don't play xbox myself)

[mighty ruin]

It will generate just fine, and even if you've explored a tiny bit that part will potentially get broken if you built on it. Otherwise, everything will generate as normal. Just make sure you make a few backups and copies of your local files just in case!

[spark shell]

i mean tbf there isn't much to explore in it, i think
you can create a backup save of the world if you feel like it wasn't worth it and wanna revert the world

that should work I think?

[sand tapir]

is this whats called a bottle neck?

my valheim fps is only 20. could this be the reason why my valheim is so laggy? gpu is at 100% meanwhile cpu is at 6%

[willow raft]

Yes, though is it always at 20fps or is in in an area you heavily changed and build on?

[sand tapir]

it wasnt always like this. i used to be able to play this game lag free

i have no idea how to fix this

[willow raft]

Update all your drivers for gpu and update microsoft and such, fresh install of the game, making a backup of the worlds and characters you want to keep is advised, though they should all be saved on the cloud if you didn't change that setting.

If it is in a specific world or a specific part of a world it might be that there are too many instances around for the GPU to calculate it all in a decent time.

[quiet laurel]

Me and my girlfriend can't log into the same server. But we were able to enter before, suddenly such a situation happened. What we supposed to do now ??

[willow raft]

Both a seperate account? Both pc or xbox or mixed? Can you both make a game and the other can't join or is it always the same person that makes a games and the other can't join?
have you verified the game files via steam, if so have you tried a fresh install for both?
If you do a fresh install it might be a good idea to backup the world(s) and characters, should be saved in a cloud but better safe than sorry.

[quiet laurel]

Both a seperate account?
A:yes
both pc
My girlfriend is the server owner. When she open the server, the server does not appear for me. I guess the only thing left is to reinstall.

[proper sequoia]

:(

[halcyon crag]

unexplored areas will generate new content as always, explored areas will still get terrain and mobs, however POI's (points of interest) WON'T generate there

[vapid warren]

Objects also wont be generated

[halcyon crag]

true, usually less important to mention since things like mistlands roots and trees can be found pretty much everywhere

[vapid warren]

Still. People could thing that thats covered under terrain

[halcyon crag]

okay, terrain texture/height vs terrain objects

since you want to be ultra specific about it, how about making a pinned post clearly explaining the risks of visiting or something akin to that

[spring lake]

When do dropped items despawn? My valheim world is full of dropped shit

[halcyon crag]

2 in game days outside base item range, or insta in the ocean or obliterator

[lapis terrace]

about 3 days 🤔

unless it's around a workbench, furnice or something of that sort

[halcyon crag]

it's 60 minutes so depends if you sleep or not

[unborn haven]

Will Hildir spawn in explored meadows areas, or in unexplored meadows only in existing worlds, or not at all in old worlds? Sorry to ask this again but I'm seeing conflicting answers to this elsewhere and I'm just coming back to the game after a year away

[halcyon crag]

unexplored meadows she will spawn

any world with >90% meadows explored should be able to get her

[willow raft]

Unexplored meadows between 3000 and 5100 meters away from the middle of the map.

[winter kayak]

Hey people, is this shallows area in the middle a no-spawn zone for a serpent? Even during storm/night?

[lilac coyote]

If the area is marked as Ocean, serpents can spawn, if it's any other biome they won't.

[winter kayak]

Oh right. I keep forgetting you can hover over it on map and see the biome.

Cheers

[stoic trench]

Safe to say that Frostner probably isn’t the best choice for Moder? 😅

[crisp marsh]

Nope 😁 BUT anything is possible if you try hard enough...

[zenith nimbus]

Frost attack for frost immune, best choice ofc =))

[stoic trench]

The frost dragon is immune to frost, gotta change my whole strategy now 😔

[oblique hawk]

It's also immune to dragons.

[zenith nimbus]

I tried to kill with bow, but... 90% damage was dealed by my sword...

[fathom badge]

Needle or obsidian arrows from a draugr fang, then get up close and whack her with the maxed iron mace you use for golems and for killing Bonemass... that's always worked for me 😉

[zenith nimbus]

True players kill golems by pickaxe XD

[stoic trench]

Well, there goes plan B…

I was actually thinking of trying out the Crystal battleaxe 🤔

[fathom badge]

It's not bad, downside of the battleaxe is that it does a fair bit of spirit damage which is useless against most enemies

[stoic trench]

Ahh bummer, didn’t realize it did spirit damage.

[fathom badge]

It's not a ton, only 30 and it does 108 slash maxed out, but it's a fair percentage

[oblique hawk]

Plan C for Crystal.

[long escarp]

Can anyone guide me in where i can go to start learning how to config mods on a dedicated server, server side?

[stoic trench]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 this is probably a good place to ask! 🙂

[small nest]

true players kill golems with fishing rod

[zenith nimbus]

Heh, blunt damage

[small nest]

im on my way to bonemass, should iron chest and legs and root helmet is enough for bonemass? all upgraded to max level (root cask lvl 3)

[fathom badge]

You should be ok. I would suggest the poison resist potions instead of the root helm for that battle though. The potions give you higher resistance than the helm, the helm is fine for leeches and general adventuring, but it's not as good against the higher poison level Bonemass does. I'd also suggest prepping the area around the altar, getting stuck in that fight is the #1 cause of problems for people

[small nest]

i have beaten the game 2 times so i know that preparation of "arena" is a key to victory, i have never used root armour before so im interested if its a good idea. thanks for helping

[fathom badge]

np. I generally tend to do full root because I never make iron armor except for decoration. Usually just hop up on top of the skull for a short break if I need one. Tasty meads are helpful, as well as healing pots.

[midnight saffron]

Hi

I started a world with custom modifiers (no raids and no equipment dropped on death), but I'm still dropping my stuff, how am I supposed to do this?

[marble roost]

Are you dropping your armor too?

That modifier should let you keep equipped gear, so any armor you’re wearing and anything you’re holding in your hands (marked light blue in your inventory). You’ll still drop all your other items though

[midnight saffron]

even on the easiest difficulty?

[vapid warren]

Yes. Theres still a small punishment, but you can driveby pickup stuff with your best armor instead of backup or no armor

[midnight saffron]

ty!

[frail cave]

Does spamming corewood logs and torches on top stop raids from happening around your base ?

However big that radius is ..

saw it somewhere and was just curious.

[fathom badge]

It doesn't stop raids, but it can stop enemies from spawning due to raids having a limited radius. Torches on top of poles is kinda silly though when a simple campfire does the exact same job, and enemies don't attack it.

[winter kayak]

Building question: Do I need floor? Or can I just have dirt on ground? Thinking about trying out a more realistic longhouse approach. Will lack of wooden flooring prevent me from building certain things?

[old bronze]

You don't need a floor, everything you can build on a floor can also be built on ground.

• You can't build things like smelters on wood floors but on the ground you can

[winter kayak]

Yeah, should make things like campfires easier to build inside too hopefully

[nocturne carbon]

just came back to the game and I cant connect to dedicated servers the server works just failes to connect every time...

[cosmic granite]

I just started a few days ago and feel I might be missing something. I beat the first boss and got the pickaxe and watched a couple videos on digging up stone circles for treasure. However, I've dug up 4 of them already and found a couple pieces of amber and some bones. Am I doing something wrong or is just it bad luck?

[restive hinge]

hello, I downloaded tghe game on Xbox, but for some reason it won't let me start a world. am i missing someyhing?

I name my world, I don't touch the "seed" but the done option does not light up

[lilac coyote]

Amber is treasure.

[halcyon crag]

sounds like just regular luck

[halcyon crag]

having it pancake flat is the most important concern for all sorts of reasons, you can "pave" terrain with stone once you have a stonecutter to improve interior aesthetics if all yr building is on a dirt base

[sturdy fern]

can you play valheim with a friend after you mod the game?

[halcyon crag]

#mods-issues/ #mods-discussion 👍

[sturdy fern]

ty

[frail cave]

Makes me wonder why a troll walked over to a campfire just to hit it yesterday

[shy shard]

How to easily obtain plenty of tar ?

[fathom badge]

They could've been attacking something else nearby, or they couldn't get to you so they chose it as a target instead.

[stoic trench]

Oh, do enemies attack standing torches but not campfires?

[vapid warren]

yea

[frail cave]

Seems like a lot of repeat left out information then if they do target campfires as long as they can’t reach you and have aggro

[stoic trench]

Interesting, so it might not be ideal to have torches along a road then.

[fathom badge]

Wisp lights are safe, standing torches not as much. Campfires are in the same level as walls and such. Trolls won't attack walls unless you're on the other side and they know it.

[vapid warren]

wisp lights also arent player base

[ebon parcel]

Dig a trench from down a slope, towards a tar pit, to drain it.

[shy shard]

From a pit you mean

[ebon parcel]

No, I actually mean towards the tar pit from downhill. It’s easier that way and requires less digging.

[shy shard]

Ahhh you were referring to how to dig the trench

I thought you were saying the tar would somehow flow up hill

[ebon parcel]

Ah no 🤣

[ornate finch]

Be sure to put enough characters for the seed and world name.

[shy shard]

btw can't I just raise ground on the tar pit ?

Or does it drop extra tar when draining

[halcyon crag]

the biggest blobs of tar are always right at the bottom of the pit

and from what i've seen of ppl raising ground they don't come to the surface that way

[spark shell]

I just checked to confirm and yeah, they don't rise up to ground

[boreal bolt]

how rare are sea serpents

[willow raft]

During the day when it isn't raining they are extremely rare to the point you won't find any.
During the night in a storm they are fairly common.

[boreal bolt]

is it like a % per night/day

for one serpent

or can multiple spawn per night/day

[real nebula]

Multiple can spawn, but there's a cooldown between areas if a spawn check succeeds or fails in any given one

It has to be nighttime or a storm though

[willow raft]

It only spawns during storms and at night, so during a stormy night you have the best chance to find one.
Storm gives a serpent spawn point a chance to spawn a serpent and night gives the same.
The night time spawns will despawn at dawn the rainy spawns will keep on existing.
Each spawn point can spawn one, so you can get multiple if you find multiple spawn points.
Spawn points aren't visible though, you'll only know there is one, when you find a serpent there.
For more info: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Serpent

[boreal bolt]

thanks

fog doesn't affect it?

the spawning rate

[willow raft]

Nope, rain (storm) and night time.

[boreal bolt]

alright

[shy shard]

I think they can't spawn during the day at all unless rain or storm

[willow raft]

That was what I was alluding to with "to the point you won't find any".

[shy shard]

I see, I just feel like your wording implied that during the day there is an extremely low spawn rate, but not zero

Which isn't true

[willow raft]

It gets explained further along the conversation about it.

[shy shard]

I can't open a chest in a server I'm playing. Just one specific chest. Is there a fix for this ?

[willow raft]

Destroying said chest and remaking it should certainly do it.

[shy shard]

well, rebooting the game fixed it

[vapid warren]

Yeah thats just desync

[willow raft]

Ah I thought you already tried that and it kept being an asshole for not letting you open it, my bad?

[shy shard]

I tried leaving the server and joining again, and it didn't fix it

But a proper reboot solved the issue

[twin peak]

anyone know what the range on the ballista is roughly? Can't find an answer online

[haughty hinge]

I think around 30m

[frail cave]

So player based raids are a bit wonky huh? People getting troll and surtling raids without having killed them

[haughty hinge]

I never measured it specifically though but i have one of my base built the way you can keep track for different distances. And as i recall now i think ballista couldn't shoot further than 30 m

[willow raft]

You can get them because it doesn't count player kills, it counts server / world kills.

So for example you are going trough the black forest and encounter a troll, you run away and pass a swamp with some surtlings near and they aggro the troll, the troll kills one of them and the surtlings kill the troll.

Voila unlocked troll and surtling raids in one go.

[tawdry moat]

Does Cartography Table work in Hardcore Mode? (Map is normally off in this mode.)

[vapid warren]

You mean nomap mode? Im sure it shares the map, but you cant look at it anyway

[tawdry moat]

Oh right it really just shares the map and that's it. It's as useless as the Boss Runes in dungeons.

[frail cave]

Yeah but someone has surtling raids who’s never been to the swamp and possibly never to the blackforest

[willow raft]

No one has been in their world? They haven't gone passed it and rendered in one of those.

[frail cave]

Kinda seemed dumb that for player based raids the player doesn’t have to go to a swamp to get surtling raids

[frail cave]

They haven’t left spawn and the nearest swamp is a 50 minute run

[willow raft]

True but that's how it is.

[willow raft]

Anyone else left spawn, is it a fresh world or did the world exist prior to the person coming in?

[frail cave]

Existed prior

It’s freshish only eikthyr has been done

Just doesn’t make much sense for player based raids to give a fresh spawn surtling raids

[willow raft]

Could be that it was someone else that went and killed or got a troll or surling killed.

[frail cave]

I mean yeah I’ve killed a lot of surtlings

Seems pointless that I put player based raids on now

[willow raft]

I totally agree but that is how it works as of now, a fresh player in an existing world can get any raids that are unlocked.

[frail cave]

That’s not player based at all then

[willow raft]

Not really no.

[austere flume]

Does hot tub degrade with no roof?

[willow raft]

How the raids work now its all a bit sketchy.

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events#Player-based_requirements

So lets say, eikthyr is killed and trophy is hanging and the new player takes that power it activates certain raids.
I don't know if player based raids shutsdown world based raids though, I think it should but maybe it doesn't.

[frail cave]

Yeah I’ve looked at that a lot which is why I was surprised fresh people have surtling raids

[tawdry moat]

I keep getting raids without spawns. Fine by me since I'm on Hardcore Mode. 1-2 have done.

[frail cave]

Did you spawn proof most of your base?

[haughty hinge]

I genuinely think raids wo spawns are weird. Mb raid creatures should spawn anyway?

[shy shard]

Is there a way to increase the render distance of structures (walls etc)

Even when I'm fairly close to things I've built, I see things like beams etc disappearing

[frail cave]

Does the render setting in the esc menu not change that?

[shy shard]

There's a setting for that ?

Is it only available in menus, outside of being ingame ?

[haughty hinge]

I think there's some dev command as well, but it will increase the amount of objects rendered drastically

[shy shard]

If it's locked behind devcommands, it's not something I can have in multiplayer

[frail cave]

It’s in game

[haughty hinge]

Then only basic settings

[shy shard]

Where do I even find it

I don't see anything that would relate to render distance

[frail cave]

Is that not what render scale is? Or maybe it was in gameplay idk I could have sworn I saw it somewhere but could easily be mistaken

[haughty hinge]

Draw distance/ level of details

On very high i think its draw distance is about 170-180 m

[fathom badge]

Render scale is the "real" resolution it renders at, which is then scaled up to your screen resolution. Given the stylized look of Valheim, if you're GPU limited you can get a lot of performance with using that slider.

[full parcel]

When will the problem with overheating of the video card be solved? No game loads my PC as much as this one. Maybe there is some kind of fix?

[fathom badge]

That's not a problem? Resources are made to be used. You can turn down the settings if you want and that will reduce the load on your GPU, but those numbers mean it's operating as intended. It's not really concerning until modern silicon starts hitting around 100C anyway, and you're nowhere near that.

[shy shard]

ahhh draw distance

tbh I switched my game to english for the screenshot, it's usually in french and the french translation doesn't say anything about draw distance, it's only called "Niveau de détail" (level of detail)

[full parcel]

How well you defend the game. The game absolutely loads everyone's video card so much from the day it was released. But the problem is not solved.

[fathom badge]

I mean... why do you even have a GPU if not to use it? High utilization is a sign of efficiency, not a problem. I'm not "defending the game", I'm educating you as to how things work in the gaming and rendering technology space.

[haughty hinge]

Level of details it is cuz it does not only draw objects themselves but at some distance replaces them with simplier ones. So this slider affects both

I may be completely wrong tho, it's just my assumption

[halcyon crag]

no it's intended for them to be like that since they have many more triggers than regular raids

[shy shard]

High utilization isn't necessarily a sign of efficiency. For instance, SSDs run worse when they're filled more than 3/4 of the way. Higher load on a component might also decrease its lifetime. Compared to other video games out there, Valheim is certainly striking for how GPU intensive given what the game actually draws. There's no denying the game could absolutely use more optimization. And that's normal, it's in early access of course.

[cursive sinew]

I honestly think the ocean is the problem

[green crystal]

I couldn't agree more

[cursive sinew]

Hope the great Valheim developers will find a solution one day

[fathom badge]

Data storage on an SSD loses performance because of the nature of wear leveling. GPUs are not in a similar boat, and again... running well below the temperature limits even with high utilization doesn't hurt anything. What use are having resources that you don't actually use? I am a software engineer by profession, I promise you I know very, very well what all these things are. "Optimization" is bandied about by people who don't actually understand what it means, it's used as some kind of catch-all "this doesn't do what I think it should" type statement.

[cursive sinew]

Ay W, so it has nothing to do with the ocean?

[fathom badge]

The ocean is probably one of the LEAST impactful things to render for the game. It's a very simple concept overall, it's just a mathematical modification of a simple surface, relatively low load for any modern GPU. The object tree is generally the most impactful of real performance.

[green crystal]

There's a volumetric fog cluster of issues when interacting with light sources and reproducible crashes when water is trying to resolve heights, especially when sailing into a new area.

[cursive sinew]

I usually look at the sky to reduce the lag and avoid crash when I sail like the fps raise from 30 to 73

[fathom badge]

Light sources are definitely a thing, but due to the nature of the game's world (it's not like Ark or some other kind of game where the world can be "baked" in and optimized that way) there will always be a large cost to many rendering calculations. Just like with Minecraft.

[cursive sinew]

Word

[fathom badge]

Think of how you can absolutely slaughter Minecraft performance when you add shader packs, if you're into that kinda thing. It's very similar except those shaders are built into Valheim, and they're balancing that all internally. It's a large part of why it looks so good, too. Biggest thing a person can do to increase performance is turn down the point lights and shadows settings, in general.

[shy shard]

What do you mean by Object tree ? Never heard that term before

[green crystal]

The load-in distance seems to be the same as the render distance. If you turn down the draw distance setting by one from the max it usually helps prevent the GPU overdraws due to the server creating terrain and you trying to render it at the same time.

[cursive sinew]

I'm just happy scale rendering was added

Though it needs sync like why would anyone reduce scale rendering to 0

[fathom badge]

Everything in the world is an object. Every wall you build, every tree, every animal, every stone, everything. They are each their own entities, and as each frame renders the game goes through the whole list (really a tree, as an internal structure) of those things that are visible and decides what to show. The more things in that tree/list, the slower it goes. But that ends up being more CPU and memory bound than GPU.

[shy shard]

Ah I see

[cursive sinew]

You mean everything in the game renders 24/7 and more rendering objects means more use of cpu memory and gpu?

[fathom badge]

More or less, yes. It's a bit more complicated in that they do lots of clever things to cull out the things that aren't actually on screen to render, but yeah. Each light interacts with every object it touches; more GPU usage. Fog affects those lights, it affect shadows... more resource usage. But in general with a game, it goes through a core loop of looking at everything it needs to know about, transforming those for visibility on the screen, and then calculating all the pixels to show based on that. The more things that happen at each step, the more performance can be affected, and with a game with huge variability based on random resource generation, player built structures and lights and such, it can get very complicated.

At the end of the day, if both GPU and CPU are fully utilized and you're getting good performance, you've got a wonderfully optimized game because it's doing as much as it can for the gameplay with the resources it has available.

[cursive sinew]

Word, would "render distance" help reduce this problem?

[fathom badge]

Yeah. Fewer things going through the render loop = faster, depending on the hardware. And LoD means that there are typically fewer geometry pieces to render because they're simpler shapes when further away, so again you get improvements. But lights and shadows are more multiplicative in that kind of thing, which is why they are usually more impactful to adjust.

[cursive sinew]

Understood

[tight crypt]

Hey there. I'm not sure im on the right channel but I need help, I can't get to the place where I died and lost my gear

Can someone jump in on my solo run ?

[marble roost]

try asking in here https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630 😄

[fathom badge]

There's a Body Recovery Squad Discord, and I think they have a listing in #1024264966712340510 . This is more for technical help with the game or advice, not active gameplay 😉

[tight crypt]

Thanks guys

[frail cave]

i just found an iron gate inside a swamp crypt is that normal?

[subtle parrot]

There's a gate closing off all the crypts in the swamps

[fathom badge]

Rare, but possible. Doesn't drop anything good though 😦

[tawdry moat]

My base is spawn-proofed and sits on an outcropping of the Black Forest. I would think that spawns could still happen onshore but perhaps I did a better job than I thought.

[halcyon crag]

rare

even rarer in the centre of a scrap pile

[stoic trench]

I found my first frost cave ||with a large frozen lake and the fishing pole. There were also two stone golems. Pretty awesome! But is there a variant that you can fish in? In an earlier cave, I found a small body of water with some fish in it.||

[vapid warren]

Yes

Well not of that one

[halcyon crag]

i think there is such a variant but it's ultra rare, and the small pond is the much more common tetra rooms they added

[vapid warren]

Theres a rare medium sized one. Only encountered one in about 150 caves

[halcyon crag]

thought there was a 1/400 variant, but maybe it got removed

[frail cave]

I doubt it’s tended for a fresh meadows player to get surtling raids because someone else killed a surtling

[halcyon crag]

when you hear the list of triggers, making a bronze weapon gives trolls, making certain gear triggers raids, it's based on environmental factors rather than boss kills and is totally intentional, so a player who enters a server in basic gear should only get basic raids until they have better gear to trigger stronger raids, just seems like it might be overtuned in the early game

[frail cave]

It doesn’t say bronze gear gives troll raids on the wiki

[halcyon crag]

i can't remember all of them, they were tweaking them last time i discussed it with Macarbre

[lilac coyote]

Making gear does not affect raids.

[halcyon crag]

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.

[marble roost]

Yea wiki just says boss head / boss drop / boss power for most raids, and then kills for some raids like surtlings and trolls and the hildr raids. Again tho idk if the wiki is right

[halcyon crag]

pretty sure it has daft instances like making a cultivator will trigger trolls or some such

[stoic trench]

Ahh interesting. All in all though, I think I’ve had my fill of the frost caves; got two sets of fenris armor, and a little more than 100 jute, and numerous claws that I want to use for braziers. In a future playthroughs, I’ll try out the flesh rippers, they seem really cool! Also found a lot of really big and cool caves and some rare rooms it seems. Now if I should just conquer the howling cavern lol.

Frost caves may be one of my favorite things in the game

[marble roost]

they're a ton of fun

is it a multiplayer world?

[stoic trench]

Nope, just playing single player 🙂

[vapid warren]

Same. I still found things that surprised me at 100 caves

[marble roost]

2nd set for backup?

I feel like upgrading the first set instead would be pretty solid

[stoic trench]

Yep, for backup and display, both sets maxed out.

[marble roost]

damn maxed out sets sounds nice!

[spare drift]

should i explore the mistlands yet?

i heard theres an update coming but i also want to see

[lilac coyote]

Mistlands is complete, go for it.

[spare drift]

is it supposed to be these areas?

[lilac coyote]

That's Mistlands, yes.

[small nest]

before you go to that quirky area, remember to get your best food, its not an easy task to survive here
you should also craft the wisplight, i wont spoil what it does but drops from yagluth will be needed to craft it

[subtle parrot]

If you've already killed the 5th boss, go for it. If not, i would recommend waiting.

[tawdry moat]

Is there a way to sleep without changing spawn point?

[haughty hinge]

Nope, only to change your spawn point wo sleeping

[spare drift]

We did actually, although i wish i didnt skip making the black metal axe because i cant cut yggdrasil now

[subtle parrot]

You can always go back and kill some fulings to get more bm

[tawdry moat]

Seems like a simple 'hold shift' would be a nice thing. It matters more in single player because you may have many camps and beds.

[subtle parrot]

Portal back to where you wanna sleep

[haughty hinge]

dunno i never had an urge to sleep wo changing my spawn point

[spare drift]

i killed a hare on water and it sank :/

[tawdry moat]

I'm playing hardcore with no map. Early game it's impossible to have portals handy.
Big barrier to entry for Surtling Cores - 1-star skeletons will kill you in a single hit if you're not careful.

Yep, they do that so you cant rely on easy kills, pretty smart eh

[boreal rock]

I'm in my 6h Mistlands dungeon, still no vegveisir for the queen's location. Anybody know what the odds are?

[subtle parrot]

Higher that you'll come across the queens nest before you find a vegvisir lol

[subtle parrot]

Makes sense

[tawdry moat]

You have to basically make a road system to remember where you are going.

[vapid warren]

Thry can be hard to spot sometimes

[boreal rock]

I mean, I saw a screenshot, they don't look easy to overlook.

[vapid warren]

High up on walls or down in the low holes

[frail cave]

I spent over 12 hours making a road from spawn to trader then to elder last week 😭

I’ve said that enough times but it’s still just wild to me

[tawdry moat]

That's pretty crazy. I usually just 'Pathen' and that's good enough.
To make things as short as possible, place a Torch at each location you want to go to, within vision, and then pathen between.
Otherwise you will aimlessly wind around with spaghetti paths.

[subtle parrot]

Pathen doesn't flatten enough imo. Leaves too many bumps and hills and my cart gets knocked over if i run

[frail cave]

I made a lot of spaghetti paths running from trolls. It takes about 50 minutes to run my path but it definitely isn’t the shortest route

[tawdry moat]

Cold, no rest, no Eikthyr, no stamina, and no direction - with 12 1-star Greydwarf Shamans chasing you - is not a good time.

[frail cave]

12?!?!

[haughty hinge]

But it's good enough to feel alive

[vapid warren]

Remember what channel this is 👀

[haughty hinge]

If 12 shamans chasing after you is not enough for this channel i dunno what is then

[tawdry moat]

More like 7-8 Greydwarves, a 1-star Brute, a 2-star Greydwarf, and a 1-Star Shaman.

Oh, look, it's nighttime and I have gotten lost exploring. Is that a Greydwarf nest?...

[spare drift]

hey guys im getting terrible fps on 3060ti and 5600x all of a sudden

[gilded field]

Solo or multi-player?
What are your Temps looking like?
Recent updates to do or preformed?

[misty dome]

anybody trynna help me defete the queen?

[fathom badge]

Might try puttng a post in #1024264966712340510

[misty dome]

thanks

[jaunty otter]

hello sorry for my english i had a very old world in valheim where i had played in the first fase of the game i left it and now i'm coming back i want to know if i have to do a new world or i can use the same world and it will apper everithing there thanks and again sorry for my english

[gilded field]

Should do well. There is rare situations where base builds have been reported broken.

I had a couple legacy saves I checked on of my own. There was map differences but my builds were intact

[jaunty otter]

so everything of the new updates can apper in my world so i can enter the late game?

thanks for the information

[gilded field]

Ah now that is worth noting. If you went near or touched unreleased biomes there can be problems. But only the revealed areas will look like they did before update.

[jaunty otter]

ok thank you i will try

[gilded field]

You're welcome

[reef flame]

With the abomination is it better to use fire arrows or bronze arrows?

[real nebula]

Fire

Piercing does little damage to them in general, they're weaker to fire

For the record, metal arrows are generally considered a bad investment~

[reef flame]

I don't have metal yet

[real nebula]

Oh, you asked about bronze arrows

[halcyon bobcat]

Is 15 max comfort without maypole or yule tree at the moment?

Ah, it appears to be 16, but the blue jute banner does not add to comfort

[snow fractal]

anyone else having issues loading valheim on geforce now? Graphics are wack in the start menu and when trying to join the game, it crashes and closes

[spare vector]

had these problems too

[snow fractal]

were you able to fix?

[spare vector]

Yes, upgrading my graphic card lmao

i had gtx 750

i have gtx 1050 Ti now and it runs smoothly as butter

[snow fractal]

oh jk it works. just had to retry like 5 times lol

[spare vector]

good! And actually just noticed you was talking about gaming in cloud, geforce now ;D
Sorry! i misunderstood the question ;D

[half bramble]

I’ve got a question about stamina. When using stamina the yellow bar is depleting and there’s a grey bar the appears behind the yellow. What does this signify? Been trying to figure out stamina management before I get too far into other biomes. Also is it better to use stamina to near 0 and regen to 50%? I read the wiki but wasn’t sure I understood it.

[vapid warren]

Iirc the grey bar needs to be lowered to your yellow bar before you can regen stamina

So short stops for a bit of stamina can be ineffective

[spark shell]

grey bar is just an indicator of how much stamina you have last used before stopping, i think.
like if you just stand and attack you'll see it'll go down in chunks, if you run on other hand it'll not go down until u stop running etc, unless you're playing like hard core or something, I don't think it's something you need to really micromanage, you obviously can though

[half bramble]

That’s perfect honestly. I was thinking it was something to indicate maybe faster regen or something. I’ll just ignore it and keep doing what I’m doing! Thanks guys you’re all mad helpful.

[soft mason]

hey, just popped into the server to ask if maybe anyone knows this bug, i restarted the server and one of my linnen capes randomly changed color from red to black, and now i have 2 black ones for no reason. any idea how it happened and how to fix ?

[dense wing]

Hello. My friend has a problem connecting to me. He plays on Xbox and I play on PC. And he has a problem "Failed to connect". He tries to connect once every while, and sometimes the problem goes away. Before the recent problems with the servers, there was no such problem. (Also, he has version 0.217.39, while I have version 0.217.38 on steam and there is no update)

[drifting inlet]

light source w/o fuel? or easy way to farm chains?

[stoic trench]

Easy way to farm chains? Crypt raids are pretty good, or you can just spend a night in the swamp and kill wraiths. Also, just in case you don’t know, standing iron torches are more fuel efficient than wood 🙂

[drifting inlet]

thank you

[rain helm]

Valheim really lagspikes for me, but on other games there are no problems. Any way to fix it?

[spare vector]

hmm maybe RAM?

usually its the memory fault

another thing is you tried lower render distance and graphics?

[rain helm]

Oh I think I just build a lot of stuff in my house haha, because when I go exploring it works just fine

[spare vector]

;D yeah, got the same issue when im near around big buildings

[quiet laurel]

how to open console for a command in xbox

[vapid warren]

Check pins in this channel

[warm fox]

Hello everyone, I've been playing Valheim with a friend of mine for a few days now, and I'm encountering this disconnection problem, where this symbol appears. Sometimes he enters and can play normally, but other times this error appears and he lags and we are unable to play. The same thing happens to me if he opens the map and I try to play. Can someone help me please?

[ember sluice]

i had that problem. i never really figured it out. im not sure i have terminology right but one likely problem was not enough memory. i ended up upgrading pc because i couldnt figure anything else out

worth noting if you see the symbol do not take anything out of chest or drop from inventory. any items you move will likely disappear forever

[marble roost]

Not sure how to fix it but had a dedicated server with a friend that had some similar crashes recently (hosting service fixed it)

[marble roost]

In my case bc it was a dedicated server it had the opposite effect hehe. Player stays updated right up until the crash, so grab something out of a chest it'll be in your inventory when you load back in. But the server would roll back a few minutes to before you grabbed the stuff, so it's both in the chest and your inventory and got duplicated 😜

[mild ore]

literally stuck between a rock and a hard place. i guess i'll need a rescue unless any other ideas? @ me with suggestions

[marble roost]

got enough wood to place down a bed or bench or something to sit/lie in?

idk maybe relogging

[vapid warren]

You can type /respawn to die and respawn in your bed

[mild ore]

only 8 wood, going to try and chop tree next to me

[mild ore]

this worked, relogging ftw

[marble roost]

😎

[boreal bolt]

So, I live in a black forest and there is a meadow peninsula going out from the black forest. I wonder if boars can spawn there wven though i have a structure there? The structure was for a previous boar that was already there when i first discovered the land. I have now transfered the boar to my black forest base. So, can boars spawn near structures?

[real nebula]

The boars that spawn around their runestones are one-time only, iirc

Oh, nvm, you're asking about something else

They can't spawn close to your workbench, but if you remove it then it shouldn't be an issue

[boreal bolt]

k, thanks

oh, I just came back and 3 boars had spawned

they are outside the workbench circle

[real nebula]

Aye, that circle blocks spawns

[empty cradle]

there was a 1gb update recently those were all hotfixes right?

[lilac coyote]

Define update. the last patch was in December.

[tall sequoia]

Anyone know what signs point to Burial Chamber locations in Black Forests? I've been combing around a lot and only found 1.

[marble roost]

There are no signs pointing to burial chambers. You just gotta run around and look for an entrance

[tall sequoia]

Oof... k, thanks. At least now I know that much.

[haughty hinge]

But there's a way or even a technique of using Hugin as a sign though

[tall sequoia]

oh? that sounds rreeeeeally helpful. Any idea how that works?

[haughty hinge]

It's simple, Hugin will show up when you find your first ever burial chamber to tell you about it. If you don't talk to him, he will come every time you see a new one. And the sound of his appearing is noticeable enough to know there's another bc nearby.

Just keep ignoring him and every time you approach a bc you'll get this 'notification'

[oblique onyx]

hello guys

[boreal rock]

Finally killed the queen on normal after 113 hours. Finding Yagluth and Queen vegvisirs took ages.

[oblique onyx]

Im playing for the first time and I was wondering if theres a way to increase how many enemies spawn?

I dont really want them to be sponges I just want to fight moar enemies at once

[marble roost]

Really? I mean Yag can be horrible to find but I feel like I see queen vegs everywhere I go

[marble roost]

Not without mods. Best thing I'd say is turning up the raid rate in world modifiers to have hordes of enemies constantly knocking on your door

[oblique onyx]

would I have to go through nexus or do they have steam mod support

I suppose I can find that out for myself

thanks for the info

[marble roost]

Yeaaa I'm not too familiar with the mods. Think I tried out a couple mods once wanna say it was on Overwolf but dunno

[oblique onyx]

all good lol

[frail cave]

How's controller support in this game? Last time I played was a couple years back on mouse + keyboard, but I'd like to play on steam link this time around if it's feasible.

[subtle parrot]

There's always skeletons outside of them, if you see random skeletons not in a stone structure, there's usually a chamber around. Also, there are crows (other than Hugin) that will scatter when you come close to it as well.

[stoic trench]

Need a little refresher on wolf taming…

If I have two 1-star wolves trapped, and they’re currently acclimating, will they despawn at night? What about if I teleport away? Will they only gain taming progress during night and while I’m nearby?

@fathom badge

[real nebula]

As long as they've already eaten, they won't despawn

However, the taming process won't tick during daytime

Teleporting should be fine

[stoic trench]

Great, thanks for the help! I will say, I literally just tamed a one star during the day? Which surprised me?

Got one standard wolf, and one 1star. Still waiting on the last 1star.

I’m thinking it ate food at night, and the taming progress steadily rose, and hit 100 during the morning.

Doing some testing. The last wolf is at 47%. It’s daytime, going to wait a minute or two, see how much it goes up.

It appears that the taming process does increase for starred wolves during the day. However, I don’t know if they eat- which could halt the taming process just depending on when they last ate.

Also, teleported away, 1star wolf did not despawn during the day.

[stoic trench]

Side note, trapped a 2 star wolf! Assuming the mechanics are the same as a 1 star.

[gilded field]

As for breeding rates?

[stoic trench]

Breeding rates and despawn mechanics

I assume are the same?

[gilded field]

Yea I think it's same

[fathom badge]

Starred wolves will eat during the day if they've already eaten at night. The biggest thing is to just make sure they start eating at night

[acoustic lantern]

hey there currently building a town and thought building a market would be nice. a market doesnt go without a trader tho. Is spawning in Haldor still problematic? was hesitant cause i believe to remember some ppl shared problems with spawning him. is it safe to spawn or are there any repercussions for the safe ? especially in context of the already existing one on the map?

[knotty swan]

I would say it's pretty solid. But playing with mouse and keyboard is much easier like in any other game.

[cyan musk]

how do i make my cart not break down ☠️

[plush knot]

put it under shelter/under a roof

[cyan musk]

i mean while walking with it

[plush knot]

use a hoe to flatten the land in front of you
try to not go over rocky terrain

[mystic solar]

Have 10 wood on you for a workbench, and if your cart starts looking wonky pop the workbench down for a quick repair, then pick it up again and move on.

[cyan musk]

thank you

[winter kayak]

So how is it with sailing? Slower = tighter turns, paddling against the win > full sail against the wind and such?

[willow raft]

Sounds about right.

Moder power trumps all though, forces tailwind.

[winter kayak]

Ooooh, good to know, thanks

[cyan musk]

is it safe to keep my ship on the water? cuz there are pretty big waves

[glossy bear]

not really, I used to put some beams underwater to keep it still

[acoustic lantern]

x?

[knotty swan]

I've rembered hearing, boats aren't moving when you're not on them if that's the problem

[boreal bolt]

are boars scared of standing wooden torches

[spark shell]

I think so, yes

Tamed animals aren't scared of fire sources though

[boreal bolt]

yep that was it

[wide plank]

Hello! I just killed the queen... With great difficulty, I also got the Queen drop. Will this item later be replaced with a functional one or will I have to kill the queen again?

[real nebula]

It will be replaced with a functional item later on

Yagluth's placeholder was

[jade tusk]

you get a cupcake

[willow raft]

Got baklava?

[green pike]

question, im new and want to start a fresh vanilla server and i see theres an update coming later this year, will i have to restart on a new server for update to apply or itll update my current world?

[lilac coyote]

Nope, as with all updates, your world will be safe, and any areas of Ashlands you have not uncovered will still be updated to the new content.

[green pike]

gotcha thanks

[worldly finch]

DEEVS, can you guys add items for points in steam? Like pictures of troll, Hugin, bosses and so on

[vapid warren]

Thats a post for #suggestions

[worldly finch]

oh, thank you

[real nebula]

Read the pinned comment before posting~

[lilac coyote]

I thought I'd miss that channel, but I honestly don't.

[real nebula]

If you prefer, you can remove individual channels from your channel list

[lilac coyote]

They were removed for me, it's fine.

[subtle parrot]

Playing on the xbox version and it works great (haven't used a mouse/keyboard). As good as any other game, and with all the updates and patches to help it's become a lot better than about a year ago when it came to xbox. Especially/specifically for building. Combat hasn't really changed other than a few weapon bugs. But it's solid.

[gilded field]

@subtle parrot do you play on newish Xbox or Xbox one? Sorry I'm forgetting what the new line is called

[haughty hinge]

I really prefer the xbox version and a gamepad. It gets more immersive ig if it's a right thing to say

Mb with a keybord and a mouse it is still a bit easier to fight, but everything else is better with a gamepad

[gilded field]

VR Valheim would be interesting as well

[boreal bane]

Can't join any online servers, it just says failed to connect, can anyone help?

[frail cave]

I’m dying to try it but I’ve got to save some money

[gilded field]

Combat would surely be next level.

[fathom badge]

Have you ever? Is there a chance you have a firewall or something blocking Valheim?

[shy shard]

Is there any way to instantly break one of the big stone towers found in Plains?

[vapid warren]

you can break it like any other big stone thing and break the bottom

[shy shard]

I broke the bottom but it's still floating 🤔

I lowered the ground underneath too, still there

[late hawk]

then just hit the bottom a bit more it should crumble eventually

[vapid warren]

yeah you just need to break more of it

[subtle parrot]

I have a 2015 xbox one, it plays okay on that, but still not very optimizable for it because of its lack of RAM and just being old. From what i hear it plays way better on the series s/x models. But i play on the game pass mobile app on my s22 ultra most often hooked up to my tv with an hdmi-usbc adapter. And it plays very smoothly. Not huge fps, but very solid around 30-35.

[vapid warren]

they're often connected up to 2 meters away

[shy shard]

lemme go back there and take a pic

[boreal bane]

I have before, turned off the windows default firewall and still couldnt, is there anything else that could be blocking it?

[boreal bane]

Ive got a bad laptop which i can join using but I only get like 10 fps, my pc is the one that doesnt work, which i am using now

[shy shard]

@vapid warren @late hawk

[vapid warren]

yeah, keep hitting the lower parts

[spark shell]

break the right side

[fathom badge]

That sounds like you've got some kind of networking issue in your home network then, and is kinda beyond the scope of what we can do here. It's not valheim related if you can join with another machine, it's something with how your PC or network is configured

[shy shard]

digging underneath, I see more bits that were burrowed and that I didn't break

[boreal bane]

Ok that helps, thanks.

[shy shard]

The stone, or the ground underndeath

[gilded field]

That's awesome. I started on pc. Played on the one when it first dropped for Xbox. Even 30fps is great as long as it is consistent. I have a new series xbox but haven't played on it yet.

[spark shell]

that should do it

[shy shard]

Okay I had to hit it a bunch more than I should

but I'm now swimming in stone

[late hawk]

best way to transport them is using a cart

[spark shell]

aye

[spark shell]

Portal even better

[late hawk]

i suppose

[crystal matrix]

How do you stop the forest people from swarming you when youre peacefully mining ore?😵‍💫

[vapid warren]

dig under the copper deposit

[crystal matrix]

Cant get deep enough before they swarm me 😦

[vapid warren]

sounds like you need to check your surroundings first of all

[marble roost]

spawnproof the area, set up walls, learn to deal with them, or set peaceful mode on

[subtle parrot]

Yeh, it's pretty solid around 20 fps on my xbox one now, but the render distance is like half of that on my phone and gets really laggy after 8k instances. My castle is around 15k instances in the heaviest area, and still runs smooth at about 30 fps on my phone.

[small nest]

just bite the bullet and mine, and from time to time beat the s out of enemies

[dull harbor]

Hi, I want to make a dedicated server for me(USA East) and my friend(Australia), does anyone know a good provider to go through?

[ember sluice]

maybe a spawner nearby? but if i remember right they are attracted by sound so walls should help

[spare drift]

how to open this gate?

[vapid warren]

dont think that's a gate

[subtle parrot]

If no blue letters, it's not a door

[spare drift]

they look too similar

[vapid warren]

that's not true either, there's two types of hidden doors

[subtle parrot]

The only other door i know of that's "hidden", doesn't look like that

[spare drift]

i think i cleared this place but i still hear the bugs

does that mean its not cleared?

[spare drift]

i had a door that was opened without the need of a sealbreaker

[vapid warren]

sealbreaker is used for the boss, not the regular dungeons

[spare drift]

ah

[vapid warren]

anyway, if you cant open it using interact, it's not a door

[spare drift]

see this one was a door and i didnt even realize

guess i should look more carefully

[vapid warren]

there's one that's big, and looks kinda folded in the center, that one can be opened too

[vapid warren]

yeah that one

[spare drift]

guess i now know

[vapid warren]

either that or the smaller one with blue writing

[spare drift]

btw larsi

is this true

[vapid warren]

im not sure

some of the dungeosn just have sounds by default

[spare drift]

also the ones with blue runes are called hidden doors

not dvergr

[subtle parrot]

I know, it doesn't look like the 4 2x2x2 blocks with 1 having blue letter characters on it that opens. Iirc it is also a hexagonal opening instead of square.

[subtle parrot]

Like this

[vapid warren]

nvm i misread what you said

i thought you said the only door was the one with blue writing on it

[subtle parrot]

No worries

Nah was just mentioning that specifically because it was the 4 square wall

[boreal bolt]

what uses do withered bones have except of spawning bonemass

[vapid warren]

taking up chest space, become coal in obliterator

[boreal bolt]

i love coal

[raw oak]

this good pencil?

[marble roost]

huh?

[vapid warren]

i dont think that translated well

[fathom badge]

That's a silver vein. It's a good start 😉 Dig down all around it before mining it out.

[haughty hinge]

i'm pretty sure he meant one side of a silver vein

Fsr google translate would translate it as a pencil

[subtle parrot]

Go home Google you're drunk

[haughty hinge]

he's too drunk to use google maps as well

[raw oak]

noo

[haughty hinge]

ok, you can follow google

[vapid warren]

what does this have to do with help? and keep things age appropriate

[raw oak]

sorry

[raw oak]

Thank you

[flint junco]

one day valheim just kept crashing when loading into a world, ive reset my pc completely multiple times, tried on the lowest graphets, put the priority to the highest, ive tried everything i can think of and i still cant play the game, any ideas?

[fathom badge]

Is it just one world? Have you tried creating a new player and world and seeing if the crashes are still happening? Are any other games giving you issues?

[vapid warren]

does it crash or does it just stop responding? when you create a new world and updates with new locations are added the game needs to generate locations, and this can cause the game to freeze and not respond

[spare drift]

should i replace my one handed weapons for 2 handed black forge stuff

[fathom badge]

That's up to your playstyle preferences. Do you like using them?

[flint junco]

it stops responding same when creating a new character or world it doesnt work it still just crashes when loading in

[spare drift]

yeah but i also like the safety of the shield

[fathom badge]

Mistwalker sounds like your jam, then.

[small nest]

or get the wooden club and smack the s out of bugs

[fathom badge]

Does it show a white screen and give a "Valheim has stopped responding" error? If that's the case, just don't touch anything when it's loading. It can take a fair bit of time on initial world load to calculate everything, and it can crash if you give it bad input during that period.

[flint junco]

okay ill try

[atomic magnet]

Help! anyone use gportal for thier server? how do we set it so we can skip to daytime if my husband will never sleep

[crystal matrix]

Can you do the big rock pop for ores too?

[oblique hawk]

Yeah, works the same way. Cut it completely off (more clearing needed than it looks like) and it'll collapse.

[loud linden]

You probably want to check in #mods-issues

[stoic trench]

Can cloudberries be used to feed boar? It looks like they can’t?

[real nebula]

Aye, mostly just crop veggies, raspberries and blue berries

And red shrooms ofc

[stoic trench]

Boars hate the color yellow haha thanks!

[lavish steeple]

Do some one have the Fuling totem?

[buoyant peak]

Just spawn it

[lavish steeple]

how?

[buoyant peak]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands

[small nest]

or find them in fillages (fuling villages)

[frail cave]

Out of curiosity, why do people recommend digging down around ore veins before mining?

[stoic trench]

I think a lot of people like to ‘pop’ ore veins because it’s faster I suppose? The downside imo is that you don’t level up your pickaxe skill, but I guess you don’t really need it anyways if you only pop pre veins.

Also, it helps to expose the entire vein, so pieces aren’t hidden inside the terrain- especially copper

[hybrid hawk]

So satisfying to pop ore veins

[stoic trench]

Let’s be honest, that’s the main reason we pop ore veins lol

[spark shell]

hitting ground doesn't level it?

oh wow, it's true, never noticed

[stoic trench]

Terrain mechanics are little wonky sometimes lol

[spark shell]

true

[subtle parrot]

Also you can gather more stone this way that you can then save for later to use in building

[late knot]

need a good carry for yagluth, dm

[lament swallow]

Has anyone been unable to connect or have friends connect to their worlds as of late? Me and my friends have been stuck unable to join each other for a while now and don't know what's going on.

In some cases, it allows someone to put in the password, only to "failed to connect" them, just hitting them with the "failed to connect", or even weirdly, letting them join the world but there's no trees or rocks and they can't interact with anything.

[dreamy oxide]

anyone wanna help fight yagluth

[serene comet]

I can if you got stuff i can use

[dreamy oxide]

what stuff would you need?

[serene comet]

anything really

just dont wanna risk my stuff from other charachters

[dreamy oxide]

i dont have any extra weapons or armor sorry

[serene comet]

oh ok

i can try to look for a different one that i dont care if i lose

I got a different character

so im good to go

[dreamy oxide]

ok let me set up a portal go to gerydwarfs nest

[fervent hornet]

guys any way to know place trader in map ?

[subtle parrot]

Valheim-map.world

[lilac coyote]

Wait, are you wanting to place the trader in the map, or know where the trader is?

[fair wharf]

a very handy site for finding many things in Valheim: what Fukov posted 🙂

[fervent hornet]

want know where the trader is?

[frail cave]

Do caves repopulate?

Like both enemies & loot.

[fair wharf]

Troll caves don't seem to, neither do ice caves - so far

[plush knot]

Considering how they made infested mines respawn, they really should do the same for the rest

[fair wharf]

@fervent hornet if you use map.world, make a note of the world seed as you log in. you'll need it to generate the correct map. It will look like this: GLqK8Iz7n3

[frail cave]

What about the skeleton caves?

[fair wharf]

they don't seem to either

[frail cave]

Ah that's too bad. Thank you!

[fervent hornet]

thank you ❤️

[fair wharf]

lots of skels outside, and the loot is enough the buy everything both traders have, if you sell them the gems, as well as those in sunken crypts

[frail cave]

Yeah, long-run that seems very fair-- just need to scout for more caves right now for surtling cores (early playthrough)

[fair wharf]

map.world mentioned above by Fukov will help with that too @frail cave

[frail cave]

Oh very cool! Thank you!

[crystal matrix]

Help please! restored a save and now my boat is nowhere 😦
Nvm I got it back by reversing the restore.

[dusk cloud]

I had that happen to me too

You can drag the serpents on land and whack the crap out of them with a club haha

[hexed trout]

I think I'll try that out

[hexed trout]

Lmao yeah I've had some luck with getting them to shore

[sweet estuary]

Haha neat

It's 10x easier with another person

[hexed trout]

100% and ngl I'm just happy it only ate my rafts a little from land

[atomic magnet]

I am on a group server. If i do the Hildir quest is it server wide or character wide? I do not want to try to solo the quest if no one else will get to do it if i complete it.. and will it cause raids (we are on a no boss kill server... build based)?

[spare vector]

im pretty sure if there is no mods then its server wide

[atomic magnet]

thanx... i willl wait until others are arround then

[marble roost]

Facing serpents in a raft can be quite dangerous

In response to DRIVERS adventures

[grand sand]

We gotta fight the elder somehow dawg

(Our seed put us across the ocean)

[hexed trout]

so far we’ve only lost like 4 rafts i think🙏

[stoic trench]

Have you tried ||building a karve||?

[small nest]

"we need a bigger boat"

[short yoke]

Is there anyway to force close a server I'm not hosting? My friend literally fell asleep and I have to go and I don't want like "The Forest is Moving" events to spawn and wreck our whole base while he's asleep lol

He's on xbox so in theory the game could run for 8-9 hours before he wakes up.....which is like idk 3-4 Troll events :']

[vapid warren]

you can either set up a dedicated server through a third party host or a (secondary) pc. or your friend can afk inside a cleared dungeon where he wont trigger any raids and not be attacked

[green crystal]

I miss the days of being able to walk next door to kick my friend awake to keep gaming.

[haughty hinge]

now you fall asleep before him?

[warm fox]

needle arrows are better than obsidian arrows?

[haughty hinge]

yes

[late knot]

need help w yagluth, if someone help me. dm

[shy shard]

Is there a more optimized server client for Valheim

other than what's available through steam

[quasi ocean]

Is there a Way to find silver whitout the wishbone?

[real nebula]

Yep, you can either use an AoE weapon to scout out 'too hard' prompts in the ground (if you're lucky) or find deposits naturally sticking out of cliffs (if you're luckier)

Former is a bit cheesy imo, but it's doable

[shy shard]

Do you need to be near a crop field for it to grow, or can it ban halfway across the world and still grow

[real nebula]

Crops grow over time regardless if you're around them or not

Also, there's only one official dedicated server client

[quasi ocean]

I heard the to hard trick was fixed in a patch?

[real nebula]

It's still around iirc

[quasi ocean]

Can u get a whishbone from another player?

Im terrifyed of the raids so im scared of killing bonemass.

[shy shard]

Can confirm

[shy shard]

From another world yes, but you don't need it to find silver

[quasi ocean]

Is stagbreaker ok or do u need a bettet weapon?

To find To hard message

[real nebula]

Stagbreaker should be fine, yeah

[dusk raft]

if i want to deploy a valheim server... does it need to be a specific version of Linux (ubuntu or debian)? and is it better to use steamcmd or linux gsm

[subtle parrot]

Alternatively you can go to another world and kill bonemass and get it yourself and go back to your world you don't want raids in.. or turn raids down in the world modifier menu.

[marble roost]

not judging anything just acknowledging it is dangerous (but in response to that comment, no bronze on your island?)

[dusk raft]

is this the right place for server help or just valheim client

[subtle parrot]

#dedicated-server for dedicated server help

[small nest]

is stagbreaker good weapon against eikthyr (clubs only)

[haughty hinge]

Everything is a good weapon against eikthyr

Even a broomstick

[small nest]

alright thanks mate

[torn totem]

Bonemass only adds skeletons and draugr raids

[crisp marsh]

Killing bonemass enables:
||Drake raid
blobs/ooze raid
skeleton raid
surtling raid (or killed a surtling also)
wolves raid
bat raid (or killed a bat also)||

[marble roost]

Isn't it Killing bonemass AND surtling, or bonemass AND bats, that enables those two raids?

But yea on my current world I'm skipping bonemass bc I wanna keep my raid pool small and controllable (also got max raids)

[crisp marsh]

Wiki says AND. But the troll one is either... so not sure which one is true tbh

[lilac coyote]

Depends on if you're talking world or player based raids.

[warm fox]

How long does it take to tame the lox?

[lilac coyote]

Taming for all mobs is 30 minutes uninterrupted.

[acoustic lantern]

i used the command fenrir_hanging_door and it seems to be indestructible, neither by just striking it or using forcedelete, is there any other way to get them deleted?

[vapid warren]

did you try "forcedelete 50 fenrir_hanging_door"?

if not, roll back the world if it needs to be removed

[acoustic lantern]

how do i rollback?

[vapid warren]

click manage saves when selecting world in game menu, then select an earlier version, look at dates

[hexed trout]

Just curious, how many portals can I connect at once? does it only work in pairs or could I connect 3 together?

[oblique hawk]

Only pairs.

[hexed trout]

Awhh, got it

[rocky laurel]

I'm in a dilemma

whats the optimal height for the platform for my dock? i dont want it too low that water splashes me and gives me wet buff

and dont want it so high that its a pain to get on the boat

[hexed trout]

try to get it a little above the height of the shore, with rain and whatnot it can be hard to keep it perfect, but normally it should be alright

for rafts at least, otherwise just test with placing and comparing with your boat

[rocky laurel]

2m above water?

[hexed trout]

Possibly? I'm not 100% on a set height as of rn

[hollow apex]

why do fires occasionally go out and come back on? is it a bug or a feature?

[hexed trout]

Out of wood maybe? or stormy weather

[hollow apex]

neither of those apply, i'm guessing its a ventilation issue

[stoic trench]

Fires can smoke themselves out if they’re in a tight space. The smoke needs a way out.

[hollow apex]

that will be it, we are building mini fireplaces inside the help heat a very large house without making like 6 chimneys

we have tiny vents in the side walls to help it, probably just needs to be bigger

[stoic trench]

Maybe have a dormer in your ceiling as well, that might help!

Or a roof vent!

[hollow apex]

we sorted it, what a pain proper ventilation can be sometimes

[stoic trench]

Indeed, maybe post your solution in screenshots? I’m kinda curious lol. If it’s too much hassle, no worries.

[zealous surge]

hey folks, is there any way to rename an existing character in valheim?

[hollow apex]

posted it, idk how to link the message to a reply here though lol

basically just a wall ventilation because the internal main fire pit doesn't reach the whole house

[floral token]

the vents really need to be 4x2 meters for really good vent

[ebon parcel]

If it helps, I watched a video on smoke particles for Valheim and smoke need to travel 12 metres to fully disappear (I believe).

[floral token]

like 2 wood walls worth

[hollow apex]

yeah we have that in now, do u mean like my message in #screenshots

[zealous surge]

guys is there any easy way to edit your name or appearance?

[rocky laurel]

Update: 2m above water level is still too low... I got soaked during rain!!!

[hexed trout]

Yeaah high tide during rain makes it a bummer

[rocky laurel]

might as well remove the roof

[hollow apex]

can't change your name

[floral token]

yeah, exactly, you got it

[hollow apex]

huge

[rocky laurel]

you can change name

[inland girder]

You can change your hairstyle by buying a barber kit from hildir and crafting a barberstation, but you cant change your gender, skincolor or name.

[rocky laurel]

thru some website, google it

[hollow apex]

i was meaning more through in game means you can't

[floral token]

@hollow apex another option for fire coverage, btw, would be the braziers; they provide 1 comfort and fire just like a regular fire does, but it's a furniture piece

[zealous surge]

sadly i must let go the dream of changing my name to "iganfeetlover"

[floral token]

hanging braziers, standing braziers

[zealous surge]

yeah there are ways but too complicated for me

need editing hex files

[hollow apex]

don't braziers also need to be ventilated though so i would have the same issue as the fireplaces? or do braziers have more coverage?

[floral token]

less so

plus it makes sense if your roof is really high, the smoke from them will just disappate

[rocky laurel]

nooo, just upload your character and rename and download and replace the origin file

[floral token]

they produce less smoke overall though

i rarely ever vent them personally

[zealous surge]

can you help me find the site?

[inland girder]

My way to ventilate the smoke is to build a house with enough space that the smoke can just rise to the ceiling and then disappear

[hollow apex]

i had a hanging brazier in my house on my group world and it caused smoke, had to chimney it

[floral token]

the place was just too small

if you have a bigger place, it's not a problem

[hollow apex]

it likely was too small. which was a shame

[rocky laurel]

google "rename valheim character"

website is geekstrom or something

and make sure you make a backup first

[subtle parrot]

Just make a new character lol

[rocky laurel]

what about skills

[subtle parrot]

Devcommands if you really need it i guess, so much easier than all that

[rocky laurel]

um not really

[vapid warren]

idk if that rename website actually works anymore

[zealous surge]

yeah it gave me an error:
Wrong version Your character file version 38 is not supported 😦

[vapid warren]

yeah it's outdated

[rocky laurel]

weird i got it working last month

[inland girder]

What if you dont want to cheat

[subtle parrot]

Then level your character the old fashioned way. Either way, that site won't help anyone wanting a rename on the xbox (non pc) game pass version.

[rocky laurel]

@zealous surgetry this one valheim.kirilloid.ru

go to > Character editor

[inland girder]

Has anyone ever actually got a skill lvl 100 before finishing the game by killing the queen

[zealous surge]

the community is also as heartwarming as the game 😭

ubi devs need to play this in order to learn how to make a game

[zealous surge]

Incompatible version. Provided: 38 Max supported: 37

[rocky laurel]

oh 🤔 Maybe @serene tangle knows, it's his website

[oblique merlin]

Does anyone know how to fix the fact that when someone connects to my world there is nothing in it? The world from the perspective of the person who joins is completely empty, devoid of trees, etc
