[zealous surge]

its alright, game is too good that i wont mind,
but thanks for your help ❤️

[serene tangle]

Working on it, started this week

[robust helm]

How does the stealth work in the game? I’ve been in it for a while but I still don’t understand the little bar underneath the cross hairs

[sleek tendon]

How do I choose a main location for a main base? Or do people usually have multiple large bases? I only just unlocked the swamp

[vapid warren]

i usually only have one big base and small portal outposts

near water is most important

[vapid warren]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Sneaking_(Skill)

[sleek tendon]

My first base is newr water, but I’ve heard people have it near mountains for iron?

[inland girder]

I usually have a mainbase in meadowsbiome close to water and then lots of portals to smaller camps where i may have a crafting table and a chest or and something like that

[sleek tendon]

Meadows sounds like a while away until I reach it. Should I just focus on making a main base in the first area for now?

[vapid warren]

iron is in swamp, silver is in mountains. you can easily get silver down

[robust helm]

Thanks! I forgot that the wiki was a thing because for some games, this one mainly, I’m avoiding the wiki for deets and going all in on discovery

[inland girder]

Meadows is the best biome to build your main base because there are no strong enemies that can easily wreck your base

[cyan musk]

is it possible to increase carrying capacity ?

[narrow robin]

i was under the impression that in this situation it would all fall and break...

[lilac coyote]

By weight, yes. By items, no.

[lilac coyote]

The bounding box is bigger than you expect, need to dig away more.

[cyan musk]

how do i increase weight capacity?

[lilac coyote]

One of the traders will sell you an item.

[inland girder]

Buy a meningjord from haldor for 950

It increases your max carry weight from 300 to 450

[lilac coyote]

Whelp, forget that mystery then.

[inland girder]

Hehe

[narrow robin]

deffo something wrong here

[hollow apex]

magic

[gilded field]

Leveling ground outside of a burial chamber will, have an effect on the interior.

[marble roost]

The bounding boxes are really, really big. I’d say it’s often not worth trying to gravity pop copper, but it is definitely doable just takes even more space between the copper and ground.

Once you get to silver those veins pop super easy and satisfyingly because they have good small bounding boxes. Also once it is entirely disconnected, you gotta hit the copper itself a couple times for the copper to update and realize it is floating and destroy itself

[inland girder]

What kind of effect

[gilded field]

Changes the interior ground while also making it exceptionally brighter.

[vapid warren]

how would that make a difference when the dungeon is high in the sky?

[gilded field]

Idk I thought the same thing.

Try it in your own world. Ive done this to several dungeons in BF on this seed

[buoyant peak]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[stoic trench]

Oh my lord, pro start discovered!

[gilded field]

Playing no-map pathing engaged lol. Found this on accident

[stoic trench]

Better delete that, or Irongate is going to come knocking on your door lol

That’s a nice find! Very interesting.

[crystal matrix]

A strat to what? Honestly, I need strats for chambers. Im scared of the dark and spooky scary skelly

[stoic trench]

It would appear that Nutneck has discovered a way to illuminate burial chambers?

[crystal matrix]

Ohhh. Right, it does seem brighter. I thought it was graphics settings or something

[gilded field]

leveling earth near dungeons affects the interior. The terrain change seems to bring illumination.

Edit: only confirmed in Black Forest so far

[crystal matrix]

Can burial chambers also be found in other biomes? Only found them in Black Forest and maybe in meadows but its right at the edge of black forest

[gilded field]

I think they are only in BF

I'll be testing as I progress if the other biome dungeons are effected

Did a test. Rebooting game cleared the graphical error

[lilac coyote]

It makes zero sense. The interiors are completely distinct from the exteriors.

[gilded field]

Perhaps i assumed the leveling outside had correlation to the error inside. Its gone now.

[sturdy folio]

Disabling rain for clear weather also affects dungeon darkness

Not sure on the exact command but last time I had the weather changed via command it made dungeons clearer as it removes the "fog/mist/atmosphere"

[gilded field]

Interesting. The floor texture and color was different though.

[crystal matrix]

How to catch serpent scales in the middle of the ocean?

Time sensitive question

[potent oxide]

i haven't caught one but i imagine dragging it to the shore with a harpoon

[crystal matrix]

Havent found chitin yet sadly

[potent oxide]

not sure, probably using a bow?

[lilac coyote]

You could lure it to the shore by letting it follow you.

[crystal matrix]

I dont think so. I tried luring it to a small island but it just swam away. I am now chasing the serpent

[hexed trout]

just wait till it rains and then swim around/use a raft

[potent oxide]

I have a question as well, what about training dummies, can we build them or is it just an admin command?

[hexed trout]

swim every now and then while using a bow so it stays at shore and it should be good

[lilac coyote]

You have to let it get you occasionally so it keeps interest.

[crystal matrix]

I see, thanks!

[potent oxide]

can we build a training dummy or is it just an admin command to spawn one?

[lilac coyote]

We can't build it, no.

[atomic tangle]

Hello all. Yesterday my server crashed, and i play with my friend. I start reset server but my friend die at this moment, when we together connected to server, we dont see He's corpse (Grave). i can "Fix" this problem?

[crisp marsh]

No idea, but I think the folks at #dedicated-server can help?? :)

[lilac coyote]

I don't see how that's a server isssue. If the grave wasn't saved when the game crashed, the only solution would be to spawn in the lost items.

[crisp marsh]

I've had this problem only on dedicated servers myself, but I do agree it makes no sense it should be a server thing..

[vapid warren]

world didnt save his character death, so corpse isnt saved. your friend can roll back to an earlier version of his character, or load into a solo world and use devcommands/debugmode to spawn/craft stuff back

[zealous surge]

Youre amazing bro. Really appreciate your effort. ❤️

[feral tapir]

game is freezing every 10 to 12 mins

does anyone have a clue on how to fix this?

i tried everything

[tough quiver]

what are your pc specs

[feral tapir]

nvidia rtx 4050
intel core i7 (13th gen) iris xe

[tough quiver]

uhh is that a laptop

[feral tapir]

yup

[tough quiver]

how much ram

[feral tapir]

16

[tough quiver]

hmm, not that then

[feral tapir]

it also freezes when i play DRG (same publisher)

[feral tapir]

?

does using vulkan help?

[waxen turret]

where could i report to localization problem?

[haughty hinge]

@inland girder you can always remove one floor tile and just bombard them with ooze bombs

It will work

Just choose wisely

[limber wigeon]

Not sure about the freezes, but Vulkan in general gave me an insane performance boost, on i9-9900k & RTX 3080

So probably worth giving it a shot

[feral tapir]

the cpu is it UHD or Intel Iris xe?

[limber wigeon]

UHD

[feral tapir]

yeah i think my problem is in cpu

it's iris xe

it has more properties in office work and such

not really meant for high definition gaming

[limber wigeon]

I mean, is it freezing in terms of crashing or just for a few seconds?

[feral tapir]

just a few seconds

(it's not autosave)

[feral tapir]

if I tap on my mouse it crashes

[limber wigeon]

I see, but still you should be able to play without issues even with Iris i would say

[feral tapir]

the game runs fine

it's the freezing part that gets me fuming

it's like im in the middle of this fight and it freezes on me

u get what im sayin.!

anyways i'll try to run it on high priority, see if that helps

[limber wigeon]

I guess you already tried the basic stuff? HAGS off & on, highlight the game in windows graphic settings and so on

Alright

[feral tapir]

HAGS?

[limber wigeon]

Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling

[feral tapir]

nope not yet

it's in graphics settings right

[limber wigeon]

Yeah

[feral tapir]

?

should i turn it off or on?

[limber wigeon]

is it off right now?

[feral tapir]

it's on

[limber wigeon]

Well it should help to turn it on but, you can try to turn it off, if it still freezes turn it back on

[feral tapir]

alrighty

thanks for the help G

[limber wigeon]

Np

[ornate oar]

guys is there any way to let the queen back to the dungeon?

[vapid warren]

no

you can get seeker soldier trophies and summon her again, but it wont kill the one on the ground

[marble roost]

You can respawn her with seeker soldier trophies or you can find another dungeon that has a queen

[stoic trench]

How often are queens escaping? 😅

[marble roost]

I think it used to be pretty common

[digital oak]

Anyone know how to fix this? My modded game was bugging in menu and my resolution was 0x0 and accidentally applied it, I’ve verified files and reinstalled the game but it keeps showing this. Do I have to delete all the files then re install the game. ( it just shows this every time I load the game now )

[fathom badge]

You've probably still got the mods installed, so you want to either follow the instructions in the pinned messages to remove those, or go ask in #mods-issues

[feral tapir]

game still freezing

tried everything...im tired.

[digital oak]

Do you know if there’s a way to force change my resolution outside of the game?

[crisp marsh]

Out of curiosity, is it by any chance when the world is saving? It freezes for around 2sec for me when it does that.

[feral tapir]

i don't think that's the case

[fathom badge]

I don't 100% remember the path, but you can possibly go delete the .ini files in your %APPDATA%/LocalLow/Valheim folder and that might do it? I think that's where it lives.

[digital oak]

Alright thank you I’ll have a look now

[feral tapir]

it freezes for more than 5 secs for me.
also I try to check if it's the autosave and it says saved even before that

[loud linden]

Is it actually 'freezing', or it is just delayed by ~5 seconds as you suggest?

[fathom badge]

Is the game stored on an SSD? Are you running low on memory and hitting swap by any chance? Is any of your hardware overheating and pausing because of that?

[feral tapir]

freezes

[feral tapir]

yup, nope, nope.

[loud linden]

So you're having to restart the game for it to work?

[feral tapir]

no

[loud linden]

That's not freezing, my dude.

[feral tapir]

what is it?

i may be mistaken

[loud linden]

I'm not sure, yet, but things taking too long have a very different troubleshooting suite of solutions to those that see things legitimately stopping working.

[feral tapir]

it doesn't stop working
it pauses then continues to work but the pause is like 5 to 10 secs and it's annoying as shit
also it's not just the visuals that pause, the audio as well..

[loud linden]

Sounds to me like you've just set your audio/visual settings too high for your hardware. Or, you've got other things utilising system resources while trying to play the game.

[feral tapir]

not at all

i don't have these same problems in any other game

i tried almost everything

is it because i got an intel core i7 (13th gen) iris xe?

[loud linden]

No.

[fathom badge]

So, Valheim is much more dependent on CPU and memory speed than most games, and the Unity engine is wonky on a good day. I would honestly not be surprised if it was a memory lag of some kind... do you have XMP enabled on your system, especially if you built it yourself?

[feral tapir]

it's a gaming laptop..

[loud linden]

Model?

[fathom badge]

Ugh... yeah. That's even more likely that it's a heat issue 😦 GPU + CPU both with high heat output, that kind of stuttering is often found in laptops. See if you can turn down the render scaling and make sure there are limited frames and see if it helps?

[feral tapir]

nope

the game doesn't stutter nor lag it pauses

also i don't put much pressure on my gpu nor cpu

and my specs are supposed to be high ig

nvidia rtx 4050
intel core i7 (13th gen) iris xe
16 gb ram

[fathom badge]

How do you know it's not overheating and pausing for a sec to cool down? Also, is your disk drive anywhere close to full?

[feral tapir]

i check the cpu montioring

no it still has more than 200 gb of free storage

[torn totem]

Gamers, how do i make valhiem actually run

[feral tapir]

do u mind if i could screen share later on?

[torn totem]

my CPU is awful, which i'd love to do something about but CPUs are expensive

[feral tapir]

https://youtu.be/6IBkMW39egU?si=JaWGSRpNNAqoVmFz

i think this video might help you figure it out

[fathom badge]

Wait... do you have shadow recording or anything like that turned on?

[feral tapir]

no

not even overlays

[fathom badge]

Is it very regular, like on a schedule, or does it seem to be random?

[feral tapir]

it was very frequent in the elders boss fight

but regular when im at base

[fathom badge]

It really sounds like there's something in the background running that's causing those lags, there's nothing in Valheim itself that I'm aware of that causes those kinds of problems. I've never experienced it myself, nor do most people.

[feral tapir]

nothing in the background i can tell you that only discord and steam

and i don't these cause any issues

i think it's my cpu

that cause this to happen with unity engine

[torn totem]

I DID MOST OF THESE :(

[fathom badge]

Yeah, the Unity engine has some glaring inefficiencies in it at times. Turning the render scaling from automatic to a static value can sometimes help, as well as reducing the LoD/draw distance

[torn totem]

also

I think heim has a memory leak

Since the longer you play, the worse it runs

[fathom badge]

It might. It's very dependent upon the number of things on screen, especially a well built-up base and lots of tamed animals can absolutely tank the performance.

[torn totem]

even when you leave base, it still stays at a low fps

this is on a fresh boot

but it fluctuates anywhere from 30-50 while ACTUALLY playing

[subtle parrot]

Lol mine holds steady around 30fps, you're doing great

[fathom badge]

That's pretty standard. 30-50 is fairly solid for Valheim in general, regardless of your specs. It's very much CPU and memory limited, and you're not doing too bad with that. Most other games are able to bake in a lot of their assets to make things a lot more performant, but since Valheim randomly generates EVERYTHING it means that it's largely non-deterministic with a lot of rendering optimizations you could otherwise do.

[torn totem]

Well see, 30 is a playable fps and all, but the issue is the LURCHING that comes with dropping half your fps out of nowhere

which would be an easy fix, except the game is actively disobeying the fps cap

????

[fathom badge]

Make sure vsync is off in your drivers if it's on in the game, I think that's a known weirdness with the Unity engine

Might try just turning vsync off too

[torn totem]

Maybe that's it, because I have a 120fps monitor

yeppers

that fixed it

also, lemme try a config

Okay gamers, I got an extra 20fps with two lines of text

i'm literally winning

In case you're curious, for anyone else who needs it:

1. Right click Valheim > Properties > Installed Files > Browse (in the top right)
2. Click on valhiem_Data > boot.config (Open it in notepad)
3. Put these lines at the VERY TOP of the config:
   gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
   gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1 (if this causes artifacting or lights being weird, just get rid of it)

Then save up everything and reboot

Keep in mind, these numbers were tested in a fresh save, with nothing nearby

[crude helm]

Can it rain in mistlands?

[crude helm]

Nevermind, just got my question answered in-game

[marble roost]

Hehe

[zinc walrus]

Recently started playing Valheim. Defeated Eikthyr and started wandering into the Black forest. Do most folks move their base as they progress? Or do more of a base/outpost system?

[deft forge]

What most do doesn't matter. Do whatever you want

[spare vector]

exactly, if you feel you want to make/move another base then sure, if not then don't

[hollow apex]

I have a main base with outposts scattered around the map however i normally like to make my outposts looks a little bit cool as i like making my 'mark' on the world

we have a big communal base on our co op world but i also have a base in later biomes for farming and another base elsewhere for its cool aesthetic

[marble roost]

You soon unlock something that makes keeping a permanent base instead of moving constantly pretty easy to do. But as others say, play how you like. Making outposts in every area you enter is a ton of fun!

[hollow apex]

valheim is a game where i'll be surprised if you don't end up having multiple playthroughs were you will try different playstyles. the game doesn't rush your progression at all and often the slower nature of the game is why it appeals so much. you can literally just get yourself immersed and have fun. for some people having fun is gearing up and slaying the bosses, for others it is farming and making huge farms, some people like to explore and mine resources in new areas of the map. many just simply like to build. I have a "hammer mode" world purely just to build whatever i want. best advice is take the game as you currently see it and make of it what you can. you'll find a playstyle that suits you best as you play more

[lilac perch]

Yeah i mostly move but what i would recommend settle as early as possible in the plains its one of the safest biomes and it has easy acess to all the biomes to progress 🙂

[small nest]

uh...

[small nest]

for me its works like an outpost one

[muted haven]

is there a way/mod to lower or stop the violent flickering of wood pieces clipping into each other?

[subtle parrot]

It sounds freaky when thunder cracks in the mists

[crude helm]

I wrote it because i wanted to build a house of wood in mistlands and as soon i posted the message it started raining

[subtle parrot]

Certainly doable

[crude helm]

Agreed.

[deft forge]

What flickering?

[muted haven]

@deft forge

[fathom badge]

Not really unfortunately, other than offsetting them somewhat so they're not at the exact same level.

[deft forge]

That's just 3D software issues. It cannot be fixed unless you put one very slightly above/below the other

[full jolt]

whats the command to add to spawn a stared enemy

[vapid warren]

spawn [entity name] [amount] [level]

0 stars is level 1, 1 star level 2, etc

[full jolt]

ok ty

[fathom badge]

spawn troll 10 5 😛

[full jolt]

lmao

[dreamy hearth]

Level 5 trolls? Good luck with just one of them.

[lilac coyote]

Level 6.

[fathom badge]

Wouldn't it be 4 stars? Level 5, but 4 stars. Off by one errors are so common in programming because of crap like that 😛

[dreamy hearth]

0 is assumed to be no star, but level 1, right?

[lilac coyote]

Yeah.

[dreamy hearth]

6 it is, then.

[fathom badge]

180+ blunt damage, with 3000 health each. Manageable 😛

[marble roost]

now make it very hard mode

[dreamy hearth]

Are world modifiers applied before or after the star level?

[fathom badge]

They're all multipliers, so it doesn't matter 😛

[halcyon crag]

thought levels were limited to 4 in the console

or is that just for gear?

[fathom badge]

I think it's just gear, but I'm not 100% sure now

[vapid warren]

i know you cant spawn level 5 fish

and also wasnt the reason for the limit so people cant spawn high level npcs and crash your game?

[halcyon crag]

something like that

[vapid warren]

people killing their world by spawning level 10 trolls

[fathom badge]

They drop loot according to their level as well, which is a multiplier and can definitely cause issues. Especially if you do a mass kill command of some kind.

[vapid warren]

yeah

[halcyon crag]

loot bomb xD

[vapid warren]

like

ah yeah

a level 10 troll will drop over 10k coins, invidually

[halcyon crag]

it auto stacks as it spawns nowdays also, that should mitigate that a bit, but still a loot bomb

[vapid warren]

it doesnt have time to autostack

[halcyon crag]

ah right it has to hit the ground to stack

[vapid warren]

it just realizes there's 10k items and crashes before anything lse

[halcyon crag]

had my system weather some crazy conditions like that, a big spawn that slowed me down to nothing, but it eventually cleared and caught up enough for me to fix

never a 10 star troll tho

[vapid warren]

yeah, i bet alot of people switched the numbers and tried to spawn 10 trolls

[frail cave]

How much meat should I have for taming a wolf? Is one stack fine?

[deft forge]

Three minimum

[frail cave]

Three stacks?

[deft forge]

No, three units of the meat

[frail cave]

Oh dang, that's a lot less than I was anticipating. Thank you!

[vapid warren]

if there is any interruptions at all, you will need more

[dreamy hearth]

Nothing like having a reason to skip sleep when you're taming.

[stoic trench]

Lol I love that term… ‘meat unit’

[little linden]

I'm having some issues with my vortex and getting mods loaded, anybody able to gimme a hand figuring this out?

[Error : Unity Log] MissingMethodException: Method not found: string .Utils.GetSaveDataPath()

did you tried reinstalling mod manager? or the modpack?

[little linden]

that is the only error i get when loading it. I was getting errors for unstripped_corlib before but i read to make a folder with that name and that went away

ive tried reinstalling both yeah. mostly im just trying to get plant everything going

[spare vector]

oh i see, that's weird, im pretty sure there are some mods that are incompatible with it, would be easier if i could get a list of mods or the code

[little linden]

plant everything says bepin is required

[spare vector]

oh like you have only plant everything?

[floral token]

what version of bepinex are you using?

that kind of error is normally due to a mod being outdated, as the api was updated and the mod is trying to use an older api

[little linden]

5.4.2202

[floral token]

with planteverything by advize? what's your valheim version?

[real nebula]

Folks, keep mod help discussions to #mods-issues

This channel is strictly for the vanilla game

[little linden]

oh sorry ill move there

[split barn]

I'm hoping to run a vanilla class-progression server inspired by the LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring journey.

Does anyone know some difficult map seeds that would suit??

[subtle parrot]

#1202740443352137838 might be a good place to look/ ask

[gilded field]

A story that starts in the shire acrossed a river and beyond. Never leaving one continent. Would have to be one of those long starter Island seeds with all biomes.

[versed merlin]

Guys, what command to type for unlimited stamina and health

[deft forge]

god for hp

And search for StaminaRate in the console bc I don't remember. And the one I know is there is only for running, jump and probably swimming

[versed merlin]

THANKS

[crystal matrix]

Whats this shirt icon on the map?

[haughty hinge]

It's Hildir, check it out

[karmic sedge]

Can I use third party server hosting with gamepass version of Valheim?

[vapid warren]

as long as you have crossplay enabled, yes

[warm fox]

For the lox farm to work, do I need to be close to it? Because I did it on the other side of the map and it doesn't seem to work very well

[real nebula]

Animals won't eat unless they're rendered in

Would suggest making it a base that you spend some time on normally, like a farm

[warm fox]

ok

ty

[narrow robin]

Any way to protect wood structures that go into water against water damage?
Like a varnish or something

[real nebula]

They'll only go down to 50% FYI, they won't be completely destroyed

Otherwise, no

[primal slate]

Hi, I really need help I try to play valheim with a friend but who ever host de game (in game) we have connexion issues : we can connect but after few seconds one or another don’t see anyything moving. It does the same thing with dedicated server. Anyone as a solution ?

[inland girder]

Beams and crosses do not take waterdamage

[real nebula]

Correct

[austere basin]

Tamed animals dont need to be on the ground to breed right?

Like they can be above it

Like the way i have it they are on a stone wall covered by wood floor

The farms i saw all have you rasing turf

Just wanna confirm

Why the eye reacts?

got it

[sullen panther]

Hey guys, my friend is having issiues with game. When he clicks ,,start new game" theres a permament loading screen and nothing happens. He tried deleting and downloading game multiple times, watched a few vids on how to fix valheim and he still can't play. Any suggestions?

Okay never mind he just had to wait some time xD

[spark shell]

that is correct

[midnight tapir]

Hello. Which hosting service would you recommend for a 5-10 persons vanilla server ?

[frail cave]

I can dm you the one I use

[boreal bolt]

is silver super rare because i have walked through a mountain biome and got no ping from the wishbone

[oblique hawk]

Not rare at all, but you can only find it above 120 metres, so you need a fairly tall mountain.

[cyan musk]

should i run the game in vulkan or dx11

[vapid warren]

whichever works better for you, if there's any difference, if not, just pick whichever

[teal lintel]

Scrolled through about 100 reddit posts been to the official bug report thing etc etc etc etc, my game is fulllscreen, but my mouse doesnt stay on the monitor, ive forced launched in fullscreen ive done the console commands ive done all the keyboard shortcuts 🫡 if anyone has a simplistic fix that doesnt require me to download some external software would be handy pls and ty 🙂

[vapid warren]

ctrl f1?

[teal lintel]

tried, still no fix

[vapid warren]

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-do-i-fix-my-cursor-from-coming-off-of-my-main/ff52ad29-8e09-4aa9-aa41-2c993d90c2be

[teal lintel]

only real "fix" in those options is 1. external software or 2. move the monitor displays so my mouse has to be permalocked onto one screen rendering my other monitors useless while playing a game

[vapid warren]

yeah i have no idea sorry

[narrow robin]

is it normal for the second boss to be so far and across a lot fo water?

[fathom badge]

That's not even that far 😉 It is often across water, though. Try zooming out to the whole world scale. By the end of the game you've often had to approach most of the edges, and will definitely have to once the last two biomes are done.

[narrow robin]

yea i know map is decently large, just across water was unexpected

[vapid warren]

most of the time he's across water

[fathom badge]

Yeah. Sailing is integral to Valheim, get used to it 🙂 You should have materials to be able to build a pretty decent boat at this point though, much better than the raft.

[narrow robin]

yea have the boat, its .......interesting to pilot lol

[fathom badge]

It can take a minute to figure it out. It will only go in a direction if the wind is blowing in that general direction, there's a 90 degree "dead zone" where it's faster to row against the wind.

[narrow robin]

must read a little on boats before i go, thanks

[fathom badge]

A short video is worth a thousand words, I'd look one up and it should clear a lot up very quickly

[narrow robin]

watching one now, what happens to my inventory if i die at sea

[serene tangle]

Actually the boats are not that hard to "drive", things are pretty intuitive and easy to operate in open waters. Just be careful in the Ocean at night 😉

[serene tangle]

your tombstone would float

[narrow robin]

cool lol

[fathom badge]

The hardest thing most people find is figuring out how to work with the wind.

[narrow robin]

off i go so

[fathom badge]

Tombstone, and any cargo slots in the ship float as boxes. But... all the materials except the wood will sink, so make sure you put into port and repair if you need it.

[haughty hinge]

Have you tried all of these (if you can't translate it, write to me)
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/26/360672137538522334/

[teal lintel]

i shall have a look

nope, none of these fixed. Also idk if this helps with fixing the issue but, i see the sword permanently on my screen as if i had my inventory open at all times? no clue if that helps at all 🙂

[fathom badge]

Do you have any utility apps or anything running? Screen recorders, NZXT CAM, shadow recording, anything other than the Steam overlay?

[teal lintel]

just steam, but ive disabled steam overlay also in the settings

[fathom badge]

I presume you've got multiple monitors? Have you tried temporarily unplugging the other one(s) and running with just one to see what happens?

[teal lintel]

i can try just to limit test ig one sec

Nope, didnt fix

[fathom badge]

Ok, it's still a data point. It definitely seems like there's a setting or app that's preventing exclusive access of the display in Windows. Maybe some kind of accessibiliity setting?

[teal lintel]

I mean if i see a perma sword on my screen, wouldnt that not be a game issue causing the sword to appear or does the game just think im permanently tabbed or something? 🤔

[fathom badge]

Yeah, it seems that way. I haven't run into that myself, it sounds like it's permanently running in Windowed mode and maybe things not being captured right. That's why I asked about any screen recorders or utilities that might be doing something funky.

[teal lintel]

yeahh, nah i dont have any sofware or anything open, unsure why its doing it 😅 tried scrolling through reddit seen a bunch of common issues but no fix so thought id try discord

[fathom badge]

Sorry. I'll do some thinking, but i'm not coming up with much. Like I said, check your accessibility settings or any kind of utilities that might be automatically installed with a prebuild or drivers, make sure you've got shadow recording and all that disabled as well

[teal lintel]

i shall keep trying things 🫡 may have to just end up resorting to using a controller or something 😅

[narrow robin]

how far can they swim...

[reef totem]

Where can we find the boss from the plain ? I have been searching him for quite a long time and still nothing

[fathom badge]

Yeah... that'll happen. Many times you find the altar before the vegvisir. Look at the stonehenge-like structures for the vegvisirs, and if you see a giant stone hand grasping out of the ground then even better, because that's the altar.

[fathom badge]

Forever. Enemies have no stamina limit for swimming.

[reef totem]

Is there any way to find it more easily ?

[fathom badge]

Not without "cheating", you can run a command in single player to reveal map locations of certain types, or look at the online valheim map for your seed and find it that way

[mellow mirage]

I can't get the no cost build to work on my g portal server restarted it Several times still wont-work Is there something I'm doing wrong

[reef totem]

Can we find only the vegvisir with the command ?

[fathom badge]

Probably better to ask in #dedicated-server ,

[mellow mirage]

Ok

[fathom badge]

I don't know right offhand, you might be able to. Not sure what the location name would be in the console.

[reef totem]

Ok thanks I will continue to search and if I don't find anything I'll check on google if the commands exist

[ripe reef]

how do i cut the grass in my house!111!!

[deft forge]

Hoe

[ripe reef]

do you know what the fog is around my house?

[fathom badge]

Just fog. It happens sometimes.

[ripe reef]

ahh

i like hugin

very helpful

[narrow robin]

what happens when you claim more than 1 bed and then die?

[stoic trench]

You’ll respawn at your last bed I believe 🙂

[narrow robin]

best not make a bed in this middle of nowhere rest point island so lol

[wet verge]

I have a question, I created a world recently with my brother, when the ashlands update comes out, will it be available on our map or do we need to restart ?

[stoic trench]

You should be good as long as you don’t explore it!

[hexed trout]

Any boar taming tips?

[wet verge]

ok thx

[stoic trench]

Make a little enclosure for them, lure them in and build the last piece before it gets out. Stay near-ish for the taming process to finish, feed it some raspberries. Are you looking for advice on anything specific?

[hexed trout]

Nah that was pretty much it, thanks!

[warm fox]

Is porcupine better than the black metal sword?

[vapid warren]

depends on the enemy and your skill, same damage, different types

[raw steppe]

Je tu nejaky Čech co by pomohl s Draugr Farm?

[inland girder]

You can explore a small part but the part that you explored will keep looking like the wasteland it is right now with ofc the future enemies right?

[deft forge]

New ashlands gen will force the terrain changes on the outer sections of the biome so probably not

[reef flame]

Hi I got a question. Do you recommend getting the iron pickaxe and axe? Or just sticking to bronze?

[real nebula]

Iron pickaxe is a must, you won't be able to mine everything with just the bronze one

[frail cave]

iron pickaxe is required for the next metal tier, the axe is not.

(using exploits you can also get around the iron pickaxe, before anyone corrects me on that)

[reef flame]

Is that the material I got from the green dude from the plains? One attacked me in the black forest.

[frail cave]

the mountain metal requires an iron pickaxe, and that's the next biome you're intended to visit after swamps

[reef flame]

So what is the plains?

[frail cave]

the fifth, after mountains

[reef flame]

Okay so it's too dangerous right now?

[frail cave]

yepp

[reef flame]

okay thanks, I will get the pickaxe and the axe

[wild cloak]

guys, Im trying to record some Valheim footage but when I game capture it with OBS it either is black screen or freeze frame. I have streamed Valheim before and did not have any issues, I have updated OBS, not running any other programs that can hook to the game like rivatuner MSI etc. I cant figure out whats the matter, can someone help?

I tried game capturing Dark Souls 1,2 and Outward and all of them work fine

[lilac coyote]

Could be a unity related thing. I'm seeing Game Capture might not work well, try Window Capture? (not an OBS expdert. Just using Google.

[wild cloak]

Thanks! yea Window Capture definitely works, but when I used to record before I was using game capture for both recording and streaming and now all of the sudden it doesnt work, I tried every solution I found online nothing has worked

so I decided to check if someone can give any insight in the discord

[burnt patio]

hi. when i try to open the game it just crashes. how do i fix

[marble roost]

Best I could say would be verifying game files

[crystal matrix]

Do you have mods installed?

[burnt patio]

i have epicloot and valheim+

[crystal matrix]

Are you sure everything are uptodate?

[burnt patio]

i think so

[crystal matrix]

great, then it shouldnt crash

[crystal matrix]

try this then, @burnt patio

[burnt patio]

ok

[crystal matrix]

Any technique for constant blueberry supply?

[burnt patio]

didnt work.. does it have anything to do with me playing on gamepass and not on steam?

[crystal matrix]

Ah , sorry. Wouldnt know anything about gamepass

Is that on console?

[burnt patio]

no im on pc.

[burnt patio]

i downloaded the mods again and now it works! :)

[fathom badge]

Mod support should be in #mods-issues , not here. It helps keep the information correct for people seeking support.

Glad you got it fixed though 🙂

[willow raft]

Portal chain: Portal in town (berries 1), look for a gathering of 5 or more berries and put a portal near (berries 1), put another portal near that leads to town (berries end), each time you find another gathering of berries you put 2 portals down (berries 2 and a blank one), go back to town, hop into berries 1, rename berries end to berries 2, hop on trough, rename blank one to berries end and so on.
For easy getting back to town, have a blank portal in town or a named one that isn't connected.

[crystal matrix]

Thanks! 😄

[inland girder]

Is it even possible to get lvl4 mistland gear?

[zenith nimbus]

Not yet

[marble roost]

Not yet

[inland girder]

Bruuh

Ok thx

[marble roost]

btw how do you get the lvl 3 gear now? Haven't been in mistlands since pre-hildr

[real nebula]

A second upgrade station was added for the black forge and the eitr table

[little gull]

We have a save file that we've been playing for a very long time, approximately a 350-hour save file. Suddenly, there is a quite annoying FPS drop in the area where our house is located. What should I do guys

[inland girder]

You need iron copper and eitr to make the vice and you also need iron copper and black marble to make the black forge cooler

[zenith nimbus]

Don't decorate home, just live in a box

[marble roost]

seems pretty simple. 3 skellies sounds like fun

[little gull]

dude i have 4080

[zenith nimbus]

What about cpu?

[little gull]

7800x3d

[inland girder]

Is it safe to explore a part of ashlands before the update

[marble roost]

yea just that small part you explore won't update. Only the unexplored parts will

[inland girder]

Ok

[lilac coyote]

Soo... nope, it isn't safe to explore right now.

[inland girder]

Yes it is

[marble roost]

Depends on your definition of safe.

Will you be in danger? Arguable. I'd say surtlings aren't that dangerous

Will you mess up your world and never get to see updated ashlands on it? No, you'll get to experience it

Will you taint the ashlands with a dot of pre-update ashlands? Yes

[fathom badge]

Who is hosting it? Do you have XMP enabled on your system? You might try getting rid of a couple lights and seeing if that helps, or turning down shadows or point lights.

[lilac coyote]

I assumed the latter as that's what people normally care about.

[inland girder]

When the update comes, i want to have a small part of ashland where i dont have to ||cross lavarivers and dangerous fortresses ||but still be able to kill hostile mobs

[marble roost]

The new mobs won't spawn in the pre-update ashlands either I'm pretty sure. But still you'll have real ashlands all around that area and mobs might wander

[inland girder]

Oh

[marble roost]

But yeah setting up a safe outpost or just exploring the area for a safe landing spot before the update is a solid strat

[inland girder]

Well i want flametal before the update so im going to mine one meteorite down

[lilac coyote]

Mobs will still spawn after the update of course. It's only POIs that will change. That and the entire terrain changes at the edges.

[marble roost]

Hmm I see. Usually I just see people concerned with whether their world will update at all and they don't care too much about if there's a bit of stuff not updating but it might depend

[zenith nimbus]

Mine until it's very safe

[waxen turret]

Hello, found issue with localization, instead of Кузница, it says forge.

[waxen turret]

although this is not the case with another similar improvement for the forge

[sullen tide]

is this a spawn worth keeping? may pole plus trader nearby, the swamps are just devoid of any crypts

[fathom badge]

If it's not near a shore you can easily travel from, it's not really worth it. I'd build a portal and maybe a base near the trader at least, though.

[sullen tide]

yeah, that's what I thought

would have preferred a good spot in the black forest near a swamp with crypts

[fathom badge]

Once summer comes around you can build maypoles wherever you want 😉 It's better to have a good base location than +1 comfort (which is only an extra minute of rested bonus anyway)

[sullen tide]

how big of an area does a may pole cover?

[frail cave]

Just build maypoles across the entire world during summer

[fathom badge]

Same as pretty much any comfort-providing structure, only 10m radius for comfort I think. It's not a huge range, unfortunately.

[sullen tide]

ok, that's depressing; so basically I'd need to build the house on top

[loud linden]

May is not summer in either the northern or southern hemisphere.

[lilac coyote]

But Maypoles are not specific to May or available in May.

[loud linden]

Sounds like the pole needs a more appropriate name, then.

[fathom badge]

Depends on the culture. Some did it in May, others had the festival midsummer. Valheim and Norse traditions are midsummer, I believe 😉

[frail cave]

Idk it does say the maypoles origin is highly debated

Oh man the one part of the history can’t even be said here but that’s a hilarious idea

[lilac coyote]

Oh the, um, shape bit? Yeah.

[mighty ruin]

Maypoles are pretty ^-^

[lilac coyote]

Yes they are. Do you have them in your country?

[small nest]

why is everyone having flowers in their nick?

[lilac coyote]

Spring.

[small nest]

all i like about spring is that i have massive flu and everythings against me

unfortunately, so thats why its my least favourite season

[glass plover]

Anybody know if oozebombs damage draugr spawners?

@me

[dim vale]

1. #general message @fathom badge From what I've seen so far, it pretty much looks like rt is available in valheim, using vulkan? My launch options are https://bpa.st/EKPA - can you confirm?
2. https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-dlss-natively-supported-in-unity-2021-2/ and https://valheim-modding.github.io/Jotunn/tutorials/asset-creation.html indicate valheim could have dlss support via game engine - any arguments/mods known to enable it? :x sorry for the long question(s)

[mighty ruin]

No but I watched Midsommar 🌺
Don't wanna derail tho sorry!

[glass plover]

...isn't this the help channel?

[lilac coyote]

Yes.

[fathom badge]

You might be able to force certain engine level things, but I'm not 100% on all the details and version requirements, etc. Using the base game and settings, it's not available 😉 As for mods, I don't do much with those so you might want to ask in #mods-discussion for details about that.

[small nest]

gjalls keep things valheim related so no helper will be hurted

[fathom badge]

I don't believe so, but Draugr are immune to poison as well so there's little reason to use them at all.

[glass plover]

Anybody have an assist on this? @me. Trying to recover items from a crypt and in a bit of a death loop rn

[fathom badge]

Draugr spawners in crypts are definitely a tough thing

[marble roost]

I doubt ooze bombs hurt them but I’m not sure

[glass plover]

Best strategies for clearing crypts?

[fathom badge]

Slowly and methodically, iron sledge/stagbreaker will do damage through walls if you really want to cheese it. Prioritize the spawners before the enemies they spawn. Leave a portal on top of the crypt, you can build a workbench on the ground nearby to be able to jump up if you need.

[vapid warren]

Picking left or right then go that direction at every intersection until youre out

[marble roost]

If you want to cheese, a bow to shoot enemies at distance or a 2 handed hammer to hit enemies through walls works great.

Otherwise tho I'd say just only open up one way at a time (and explore already open ways first) to prevent getting hit from two sides. Make sure you have good gear, and a personal favorite of mine if you're struggling is going triple health food since you don't need as much stamina in an enclosed space where you can retreat.

Also, put a campfire at the entrance. Will get rid of wet effect and help get you rested

[fathom badge]

Many times I'll use the hoe to make a path through the swamps as I go, pulling a cart behind me to carry the iron to where I left my longship when I'm trying to efficiently farm iron.

[marble roost]

Also try to destroy spawners as fast as possible. Often worth it to just parry spawned enemies and then attack spawner instead of them.

Killing a spawned enemy gives you a few seconds of rest before a new one spawns, but that new one may have stars or be an elite. Killing the spawner ends all your struggles

and never ever go in without poison resist mead in your belly

[burnt patio]

the game randomly crashes. any way to fix this?

[dim vale]

are you playing on windows?

[burnt patio]

yes

[dim vale]

hm, I guess I can't help you on windows, as I'm playing from linux. However, there are some general guides around like https://thedroidguy.com/valheim-keeps-crashing-on-steam-1149344 Also you could try to play on vulkan to add my cents

[burnt patio]

i'll try it! thanks

[dim vale]

I wish you the best luck 🙂

[glass plover]

Thank you! @marble roost @fathom badge @vapid warren

[marble roost]

Can ||mage dvergr and shamen|| be parried and if so do they stagger?

[ornate brook]

Think the impact damage of the ooze bomb does but not the poison

Like you have to hit the target with the actual ooze bomb projectile, but the damage of the actual impact is really bad compared to bow/arrow

Should ask in #mods-discussion

[muted haven]

ah, right mb

[frail cave]

What are some good efficient foods? Particularly around the silver age. I have a lot of turnips going, so I was thinking wolf jerky + turnip soup + sausages.

[oblique hawk]

Turnip stew and sausages are both common foods to use beyond their "proper level" since they're so easy to get the mats for and still are decent foods.

[frail cave]

Sausages do look really good, I just hate the swamp so much and don't want to go back hahaha

[vapid warren]

I really like eyescream

[oblique hawk]

Onion soup from the mountain tier is even better and easier than the turnip stew, though.

[vernal cargo]

Is there any way to get rid of roaming fuling parties in meadows? In a dedicated server, loaded world to singleplayer and used command "resetkeys" but this seemed not to change anything.

[vapid warren]

Onion soup is really easy to farm too

[marble roost]

What do you mean efficient? If you just want a lot of food jerky is good. But if you want good food I’d say wolf skewer, onion soup, and sausages or wolf jerky is good

[frail cave]

Nice, thanks for the answers guys. I haven't discovered wolf skewers or onions yet, so I have something to look into now.

[frail cave]

I guess just not absolute cancer to farm mats for haha

[vapid warren]

Wolf skewers need onions yeah

[marble roost]

Hehe yea I’d say onion soup is super solid tho. Easy to farm, amazing stats

[vapid warren]

Yeah, 3 onions for 20 min stamina food thats above turnip stew is solid

[frail cave]

Right on, thank you guys! RIP me, I just spent the past two days farming turnips after I could only find 3 seeds lol.

[marble roost]

Tbh turnips are semi useless other than for getting the spice rack

[vapid warren]

Turnip soup is still a good option for mountains

[hollow vessel]

Black soup is decent too until you get to Plains

[marble roost]

Is that the one you unlock in Swamp?

I hate that one. Feels about equivalent to Deer stew which is a biome earlier and cheaper

[vapid warren]

Nvm i was completely wrong lol

Yeah its from swamp

Bloodbag is the only expensive ingredient in it i guess

[marble roost]

Feels more expensive to me than deer meat which I have to get rid of anyways. And blood bags are great for health potions

And then on top of that getting 5 min less duration and 1 less hp regen (if I remember right) just seems like a bad deal

On the other hand tho, sausages are life

[limpid kite]

How much ram would you suggest for a server with 3 man

[frail cave]

Most of the game is client side so you can get away with lower amounts

[limpid kite]

Thanks Queen 💅

love your name in combo with your profile pic

[haughty hinge]

don't you think he has a shoulder wound? 👀

[limpid kite]

No why👁️👁️

[haughty hinge]

Dunno, mb his enemy prefers bows

[narrow robin]

not the best start to my evening - time to farm and build another boat
is there a timer on my grave?

[halcyon crag]

the grave marker should stay forever until all the items are claimed from it

[haughty hinge]

Is it a no portal run?

[sterile jay]

I don’t think graves have a timer

If I wasn’t about to go to work i’d help you get your body.

[narrow robin]

just landed on second boss island, was prepping a little incursion house and safe area, long day at work sound off, digging a trench, suddenly log troll and some dwarfs lol

[compact heath]

Turnip soup is a great stamina food before you get to mountains, I don't make black soup as we need bloodbags for lots of other things like blood pudding, and I make that until I have enough eyescream. The mountain is where I replace it with Eyescream and Onion Soup

[stoic trench]

Maybe I’m a goober, but I have a hard time keeping a solid stick of eyescream, I feel like I run low on greydwarf eyes a lot. I suppose I could hang around a spawner for a bit if I really wanted to, but I usually I reserve eyescream for special occasions.

[narrow robin]

thankfully i once played eve online, so this loss is expected, just need to sleep first

[compact heath]

I just farm the eyes at a spawner, otherwise my only other choice would be still using turnip soup

[stoic trench]

Ah, that’s probably where I’m going wrong then. I don’t really hang around spawners too much.

[compact heath]

I run too stamina foods so there are no good alternatives, I run it with onion soup in mountains and wolf skewer as my 1 health food

[stable bronze]

Hello, I have a question regarding choosing a permanent spot for my base. I just beat the second boss, I'm about 10-15 hours in now.

I have a pretty decent base, but I only have the meadows and black forest on my current island. I want to move somewhere where I can access multiple bioms without sailing, but I'm not sure whether that's a good idea. I had the following island in mind, the second pic shows where I would want to build my base (near the water) and make canals to access the high seas.

Would love to get some feedback, if it's a bad spot the seed is included in one of the screenshots.

Kinda scared that my beautiful base is gonna be destroyed 😅

[stoic trench]

So I’ll start by saying that digging a canal is probably not going to work out too well, usually it’s best to find a natural river 🙂

[stable bronze]

Awww dang 😦

[vapid warren]

You can only dig down 8 meters

[halcyon crag]

the lake location looks great, however looking at the swamps and Mistlands bits, they are very small and most likely don't have dungeons, which might be the only drawback there

[vapid warren]

So if theres no path where the land is 6 meters above the surface you wont be able to sail through

[stoic trench]

Hmm that’s a pretty rough island for a player that’s only in Black Forest gear, maybe consider this location later once you’re a little better equipped?

[stable bronze]

Is there a way to make moves easier (in the way of being able to bring the stuff you need easily)? Because I'm the kind of player that mostly wants to build and chill, but to do that I still have to progress and starting over at each location seems... kinda hard?

I got to my current island (it's my second base) by finding the narrowest gap and dragging everything in my cart over, lol

[halcyon crag]

you can dismantle previous buildings and transfer all but the metals by portal, unless you turn that slider off, also you can turn on peaceful mode and disable raids for peace while building (all in world modifiers section)

[stable bronze]

Oh dang, I didn't even know portals existed. So then you just bring the metals by boat? Can you put chests on the bigger boats?

Also thank you so much for the tips regarding peaceful building! The second night on my new island I got a raid with a troll (first time seeing one) and I got so scared lol

[fading star]

Portals are a game changer

[next zephyr]

Me and my friends doesn't move base, and still able to get to until Mistland. We do sometimes build a temporary house with portal when traveling, but that just it

[halcyon crag]

each boat has more storage than the last

[frail cave]

The bigger boats have chests built in but nothing can be built on them

[sterile jay]

i have a few base location ideas. let me mark them on the map.

[frail cave]

If you’re feeling lucky you can drag a cart onto a ship but they often fall off without a friend holding it

[vapid warren]

Biggest boat(unlocked third biome) has 18 storage slots

[frail cave]

And even with a friend holding it it’s easy to fall off

[halcyon crag]

and steer clear of plains in bronze gear xD

[stable bronze]

Thank you!

[sterile jay]

I'll Dm it

[stable bronze]

Thanks to all of you, this is such a nice community 🙂

I definitely gotta move once more, I really don't like my current spot
Will send pics once the new house stands 🙂

[narrow robin]

lol so last night i scared 2 deer into water, way away from my spawn, today i died and whilst returnign to my gravemarker, i headed to my rest point where the deer where, i just killed one in the water with my boat

[stiff glacier]

i'm super bored and am kinda scared of going to a new area with my current stuff. last time i did, i lost everything a good 10 mins across the ocean with no spare pickaxe or bronze. Is anyone willing to help?

[marble roost]

yea turnip soup is alright for swamp and mountain, but I think that's literally the only food that uses it (if you don't make black soup) and even then it's only a tad better than carrot soup but requires that precious boar meat that could be made to sausages

[narrow robin]

trolls are such grave campers

[next zephyr]

lmao

[flat pewter]

Least stinky troll you'll ever see

[fathom badge]

Are you sailing, or going by land? Bring a portal with, and place it near the border before you head in and it will be much easier to return if the worst happens. I always have a pocket portal with me for exploring 😉

[stiff glacier]

i was in a boat, and a skeeto killed me before i reached land

[fathom badge]

Yeah, they will do that. Have you conquered the plains then?

[stiff glacier]

i only have bronze, and didn't know not to go that close to the shore

im pretty sure i have to go to swamps next

[fathom badge]

You would be correct. You definitely want to not sail directly into the swamps, it is definitely best to land adjacent and walk in.

[rocky elk]

Do crops need access to sunlight to grow?

[stoic trench]

They can’t be covered, be mindful of tree branches as well!

[rocky elk]

Okay gotcha

[stoic trench]

But I don’t think they halt during the night?

[rocky elk]

Cause I'm currently trying to grow ||magecaps and jotun puffs and I want to find a way to protect them from gjalls|| (mistlands)

[compact heath]

I always just try to get 2 star boars so I have enough meat for turnip soup and sausages, if I can't get it I walk around and hunt some boars, its one of my go to foods for swamps always

[mighty ruin]

You could do a remote farm somewhere and not be near them, just go every 3 days when they're done ^^

[nocturne sonnet]

Howdy I was wondering if you play with mods on your Valhelm world will cross platform players (Xbox and PS) still be able to join your game without issues

[marble roost]

Fair. I typically don’t bother with boar farms

[lilac coyote]

Well, the game isn't available on the PlayStation and the XBox doesn't have mods so you're going to struggle with that.

[trim crystal]

also... why? gaming on PC is vastly superior.

[lilac coyote]

Why what?

[trim crystal]

why PSx or XBox, basically

[lilac coyote]

I'm utterly confused. What is your point?

[trim crystal]

"Well, the game isn't available on the PlayStation and the XBox doesn't have mods so you're going to struggle with that."
simply an add-on to your response

[lilac coyote]

It doesn't help the person who wants to mod their game in any way.

You just went 'PC master race' for no reason.

[trim crystal]

ahhh whatever derek. have fun bud!@

[alpine trout]

How do you enable being able to type /invite 'name' and invite someone to a party in Valheim? Is a mod required? We are on a server with Valheim plus, but not able to invite others to a party

[frail cave]

So like... Can I tame wolves with wolf meat? >_>;

[marble roost]

No

[real nebula]

I don't think parties as you describe them are in the vanilla game whatsoever

You can show yourself on the map to everyone or nobody, and toggle friendly fire to every player or none

Any questions about V+ functionality should go in #mods-issues

[frigid stump]

hey all, my two boars are both tamed fed and loved, however they run towards the edge of the pen and continuelsy pace back and force, theres no light around so they arent scared and ive got food for them in the center. what are the up to? they aint breeding!

[fading star]

Do they have a red ! Above their heads?

[frigid stump]

negative, they arent in teh frightened state

im wondering if theres a mob stuck uner the world near them or something

[fading star]

Mine act weird sometimes too 😂 is the pen too small for them to breed?

[frigid stump]

i think that was it, i just got them out and they started running around then made love! woooo

[fading star]

😂

[torn totem]

Is there any fire near them?

standing torches, furnaces, hearths, etc?

Fire freaks them out so

[blazing juniper]

tamed animals ain't scared of fire

[torn totem]

oh, nvm then

[stable meteor]

What does the dodge move do in fishing??

[marble roost]

dodge in fishing?

[stable meteor]

ya it says "RMB + SPACE" = dodge

[marble roost]

Should be the same as if you do that with pretty much anything else equipped, dodging.

Doesn't do anything helpful for fishing

[stable meteor]

it does a funky move pulling the rod sideways, but yeah no result

in fishing anyway :> I havent tried fishing while in combat to see if it dodges 😛

[deep shard]

A troll could sneak up on you fishing or something, who knows 😄

[crystal matrix]

Can I leave a stack of food for boars and go away or will the food despawn?

[willow raft]

Depends if you have a player based thing nearby.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[crystal matrix]

So its okay to leave food for boars in base and leave far away but just dont sleep?

[willow raft]

You can sleep, if you have a player base structure near the food it will last forever till its eaten.

[crystal matrix]

Ah thank you! 🙂

[vapid warren]

I mean, how far away are you going and is the intention breeding/taming?

[narrow robin]

do workbenches need to be fully usable in order to prevent spawning?

[vapid warren]

No

Campfire dont need to be lit either

[narrow robin]

found some greys in my base a few times, maybe the moat wall has a climable incline somwhere, thanks

while i'm at it, is the a set distance than most enemies will not swim out to? for purposes of using seas as a defence point?

[willow raft]

I just build and earthen wall all around and make a dock, with a stairs leading down to the water and leave a small horizontal gap in the stairs, so the swimmers can get onto the stairs but can't pathfind all the way up the stairs.
If I fall into the water, I can swim to the stairs and get up that way, you could wall of the stairs and put a door down as well to make it more secure.

[narrow robin]

yea i've done gapped bridges and stairs before, this is an 'outpost' as i head towards boss 2, wanted to stop them coming and attempting to break my ships

[crystal matrix]

Across the ocean, to the swamps. and for meats purposes I guess. I finally have lots of carrots and am trying the taming and breeding mechanics of the game

[vapid warren]

If youre not nearby they wont breed

[willow raft]

The boars need to be rendered in for them to breed. For growing up they don't need to be, they will suddenly mature when they get rendered in again.

[narrow robin]

go exploring they said, meet the locals they said, make friends they said

[stable bronze]

It's me again, can someone explain why this won't hold?

It's symmetrical and the other side has no problems, how can I support it better?

[sullen lynx]

iron beams

[willow raft]

There is only one square under it? If so it should work, maybe something is blocking it instead of it going to break when you place it?

[stable bronze]

I can place iron beams no problem tho, kinda weird

They are so ugly tho 😂

[halcyon crag]

as far out into the water as possible, but then they can still get around, best is to make another wall or trench/moat further out than 50m all around yr base then spawnproof it and the rest won't ever hear you in yr base so you'll be safe aside from raids and even they should have difficulty reaching you with all that spawnproofing and earthen defences

[narrow robin]

i've added some defence 😄

[halcyon crag]

might catch 1 or 2 xD

[narrow robin]

with the waves in that area, got a dozen so far by going afk on the wall

can i hire the second boss to do some fast mining.... those vines of his gave me stress

[fathom badge]

Sure! Looks like you've got enough ancient seeds to summon him again, you can fight him as many times as you've got resources for 😉

[narrow robin]

1: mark copper
2: spawn elder
3: being elder towards copper

[zenith nimbus]

And even summon many of them simultaneously

[deft forge]

How do I enable cloud sync for specific saves? So some are in cloud but others just in local

[crisp quiver]

i was wondering if anyone had a seed with a good sized plains biome near spawn ( for maximum pain)

[sterile jay]

Same landmass as spawn I’m guessing?

[crisp quiver]

near spawn is fine too

i must begin an intrepid hardcore no map adventure from the plains for my friend whos new to valheim (he did somethin similar to me in terraria its not cyber bullying i swear)

[fathom badge]

The Plains cannot start any closer to spawn than 2900m by world generation rules. Whether that's "near" or not is up to you 😉

[next zephyr]

Don't rely on the cloud save with Valheim. I had problems with cloud save replacing local save eventhough the local one is the latest save. Unfortunately I forgot what I actually did, it takes few tries and somehow it fix itself afterwards after turning off cloud sync, play the game, later turn it back on.

[narrow robin]

so progression from second boss is to use the key to enter crypts for new materials?

[fathom badge]

Just be warned: the Swamp is generally regarded as the first big "blocker" for most people, the difficulty really ramps up. Make sure you have a cauldron and are cooking good food (carrot soup, deer stew and minced meat sauce is a good mix), and a fermenter and have made potions, and it is HIGHLY recommended to not sail a boat directly into the swamps, but to approach by land 😉 Preferably with an easy to access portal for returning if (when) you die.

[oblique hawk]

And bring a hoe. :>

[deft forge]

Expected. I was only planning to do it with some other not-so-important worlds while leaving my main in local. Same for the characters

[burnt patio]

how do i fix the game crashing sometimes when it autosave

[next zephyr]

Better of keeping the backup/saves in your drive and turn off cloud save for a while just to be safe. Still, you do you, it's just my experience with my Valheim save files, hopefully some other players has an idea

[next zephyr]

It would be easier to detect the problem if you have the crash report. When the world doing the autosave, it does freeze the game for awhile especially if you have many builds, if it crash that often, I fear it might be something related to your hardware.

[narrow robin]

i dont see carrot soup,minced sauce or deer stew?
i have a cauldron and fermenter...
am i missing a way to get recipes?

no idea where swamp is yet so i'll try not to accidentally run in

[narrow robin]

presumably to make paths?

[fathom badge]

The Cauldron needs to be over a fire to work, and you make the food there. Do you have a field of carrots you're growing? Make a cultivator and do that, too...

[oblique hawk]

Looks like you don't have carrots.

[narrow robin]

lol i've never planted anything, made a cultivator and left it in a box..

so kill 1st boss, make copper stuff, kill 2nd boss, become farmer, enter swamp

[oblique hawk]

I wish the 2nd boss had been a bit harder so people would struggle more with doing it before doing basic 2nd biome stuff like farming. :p

[narrow robin]

or somehow point you towards farming cos i dont recall it being mentioned somewhere

[oblique hawk]

Well, you get a cultivator and carrot seeds, connecting the two should be intuitive.

[subtle parrot]

Are you on xbox?

[fathom badge]

Become a farmer after you get bronze, before the second boss you can have much better food. But you really want to make sure you get a farm going... there are new crops from the Swamps and the Mountains that will both help you going forward. Food is king in Valheim, I would rather use armor and weapons from a previous biome than food from a previous biome.

[small nest]

in my first playthrough i thought that crops were useless and i beated elder on deer meat, boar meat and jam

[narrow robin]

lol i went out and used cultivator on random soil once and tried planting

[fathom badge]

Are you running low on stamina because of the food? I typically eat fish wraps, lox pies and bread when fighting him. Make sure you use the "fingers" around his altar to block some of the damage. Also, what weapons are you using? Blackmetal sword, Frostner and Silver Sword are generally optimal, he resists quite a few things.

I can solo Yagluth with no mods in about 5 minutes, so it's not impossible. I don't know what mods you're using, but they might be part of the issue, with proper armor and fire resist you shouldn't lose 100HP on a hit. But even more important is not getting hit... he telegraphs the hell out of his attacks. The meteor rain and beam, hide behind pillars. When he does his fist smash, doge-roll out of the way and get back in to get damage in on him. Use healing potions, use tasty meads for a stamina boost to keep doing damage or to be able to more easily get away from him. He does strongly resist piercing damage, but frost arrows do a fair bit of damage to him.

Yagluth is very much not something you can facetank. You really need to be avoiding damage instead of repeatedly taking it. Dodge-rolling out of his attacks will prevent all damage, and you still have the fire DoT you need to deal with but it's much less.

[junior ingot]

yag is also completely and entirely cheesable

[fresh veldt]

One friend with a bow and the other can be pretty much naked as long as he runs around him lmao

[ripe reef]

Is the deer meat the right thing for the eikthyre boss? If so, how do I use it on the pedestal thing?

[spare badger]

deer trophy

[ripe reef]

What is the drop chance?

[spare badger]

I can never remember if you needed 2 or 3

[vapid warren]

you need 2

[vapid warren]

50%

[ripe reef]

Ahh no biggie

[narrow robin]

what attacks deer and/or necks?

[marble roost]

like what creatures?

[narrow robin]

yea

[vapid warren]

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

[marble roost]

Necks, deer, boar, all types of greydwarves, trolls, and I believe Golems are allied. Skeletons (and any other mobs) will attack them all tho ;)

[vapid warren]

different factions attack each other

except for boss

[narrow robin]

ooh game has factions for npcs, ty

[vapid warren]

and undead and demon

as in undead and demon leave each other alone

only player faction is hostile to boss faction

[marble roost]

Basic guideline is that mobs from different biomes will attack each other, but there are some exceptions

[haughty hinge]

I like that chicken is forest, but hare is animal, the only one in this category

[vapid warren]

probably another neutral faction

[narrow robin]

draugr villages are rough

thankfully the 10 strong night time spawn of greys distracted them..

[narrow robin]

so what 3 food buffs should i have ready for swamp?
anything else to add?

[vapid warren]

i like to go 2 HP 1 stamina. you also need poison resistance mead

[narrow robin]

so i have deer stew, what other HP meal will stack with that

[vapid warren]

meat sauce?

[narrow robin]

ok so carrots are a big deal lol

[vapid warren]

yeah

[narrow robin]

at least i can plant carrots now, will work on that farm lol

[vapid warren]

yeah i usually wait to use them until i have 100+

[haughty hinge]

don't like that first you desperately need say carrot, but after some time you can even throw it away from a highest mountain, still can't get rid of the fact how useless it is now

[vapid warren]

its used in mistlands too

[haughty hinge]

not in the way your life depends on it

i wish there were more various ways to go with in terms of cooking

[gloomy edge]

We definitely need more diverse cooking, some higher level recipes that use resources from the earlier biomes

[vapid warren]

i like there being a use for earlier crops, but not necessary, so needing 2 carrots for one of the mistlands food is good imo

[haughty hinge]

at least two parallel ways of food - one is more about health type of meals, the other is more about stamina, and you can go either way so it won't block your progress if you didn't find one of them

[narrow robin]

is it normal for peripheral vision to see further?

first pic is the left corner of screen, but when i face the boar it fades out

[fathom badge]

Yeah, you're just at an odd distance from the boar and it's a side-effect of how distances are calculated for rendering in game. It's calculated like a triangle with one vertex at the player I believe, so when you look directly at it you actually have a slightly shorter render distance that things are validly rendered. Trees, rocks and such have slightly different rules for distance but work the same way, roughly.

[narrow robin]

I've come across it in other, old games, i find it quite annoying cos i try to use it for scanning lol

here's another Q, what should i get..

[vapid warren]

always megingjord first

[narrow robin]

done, 873 left

[vapid warren]

dvergr circlet is a headpiece that's light, you cant used thunderstone or ymir flesh until swamp, fishing rod and bait is self explanatory, yule hat is just a cosmetic hat

[narrow robin]

still in copper, have killed boss 2, working on carrots

[vapid warren]

you'll get more coins than you'll ever need soon, so i'd get the circlet first

[narrow robin]

fair enough, thanks, pity its not an addition like the belt is

[vapid warren]

the belt uses a slot thats shared with a couple other items

[narrow robin]

thats fair, unless those are armor pieces?

[vapid warren]

nah

theyre tools

in a sense. they give certain effects

[narrow robin]

yea the headtorch should be a head tool lol

wtf will mobs break carrot seed plants? or do they expire

[frail cave]

enemies attack crops on sight, yea

they don't expire on their own

[narrow robin]

damn thought they'd be ok here whilst i hit up that merchant

[frail cave]

the area's probably not spawnproofed, some enemies also have ranged attacks to hit the crops from beyond the spikes or down the slope.
the spikes are not attacked on sight, so they'd prioritize the crops. all kinds of walls aren't attacked on sight either though, so you can hide them from enemies that way and spawnproof the inside. just be aware that most spawnproofing structures (except campfires, bonfires and braziers) are also attacked on sight, so they should be hidden from the outside too.

[narrow robin]

nuisance lesson learned
crops need open air right? can't put them under a stilted structure for example?

at least my double moat worked vs my first troll attack

[vapid warren]

yeah they need open air

[subtle parrot]

I would use stake walls, the upright ones, not the slanted ones you have

[vapid warren]

and also cant have stones buried underneath

[narrow robin]

hmmm ok, maybe a 3rd moat and inner moat ground level becomes a farm

[vapid warren]

sometimes people flatten or raise ground over rocks, and that ends up being too close so crops dont grow

[narrow robin]

you means mineable rocks right? not the standard stone/rock ground you go through

[vapid warren]

yeah

actual objects

[narrow robin]

what about the ones you hoe - raise level?

[vapid warren]

that's just the ground

[narrow robin]

i shall experiment tomorrow, bed calls, ty for help and chats

[halcyon crag]

also if you can find nearby swamps, worth scouting the edges for turnips, they unlock an upgrade for the cauldron and the new recipes it gives are almost vital for swamp survival

[crystal matrix]

is mistsland also a biome? Im exploring shores to map out the edges but this fog wont seem to stop, but the biome is black forest

[stoic trench]

Yes, it’s very dangerous 🙂

[crystal matrix]

Ah then this is just a big fog. Thanks!

[manic sentinel]

how cooked am i?

[crisp marsh]

Depends on your difficulty

[willow raft]

For now you still look fresh and with some dodging and retreating when needed, you should stay that way.

[manic sentinel]

will he disappear or do i have to defeat him

[willow raft]

It stays there and will go back there if it looses interest in you.
You can skirt around though.

[manic sentinel]

yeah but its pretty much on my base

dont want to hide forever

so im guessing every biome has the equivalent of a troll in the black forest

[willow raft]

Correct.

[manic sentinel]

2 star draugr jumpscared me

died

[crisp marsh]

That's worse than Abom in my opinion haha

[willow raft]

That is annoying because that means it is a spawn point and can reappear later as well.
Is there a fire geyser nearby? You can kite it there and make it easier for yourself.
Making some fires nearby to lure it on also helps.
Getting on top of an indestructible tree and plinking it with arrows (fire arrows work good enough) is also viable.

[gloomy edge]

Big mistake venturing into the swamp with low quality foods

[manic sentinel]

i had better stuff but im too lazy to restock

just gonna die anyways

[stoic trench]

Not exactly, not every ‘mini boss’ drops material for crafting something exclusive.

[manic sentinel]

hell nah

[stoic trench]

I guess it depends on what you mean by equivalent

[manic sentinel]

thing goes down easily but so many distractions

[stoic trench]

I’d say yes then, roughly.

[willow raft]

No, but every biome has its troll in terms of a beefy monster that can fuck you over really fast if you are not careful.

[stoic trench]

Fair point!

[willow raft]

Except for meadows.

[stoic trench]

Right, but that’s an exception haha

[lilac coyote]

That's because it's the tutorial biome.

[willow raft]

BF: troll
Swamp: abomination
mountain: golem
plains: berserker
mistlands: gjall (to some extent seeker soldier)

[manic sentinel]

i tried building a ladder-staircase to the top of the tree and it collapsed and i died

lol

[elder pulsar]

I faced the Abomination first time yesterday or so. I love this protoss-looking (immortal-like) swamp praetorian. So cool to see them spawning in the distance at night and then moving in the deep of the forest

[manic sentinel]

also this thing heals so yeah im cooked

[elder pulsar]

I nope'd out of the swamp as fast as I could when I first saw it :D

[manic sentinel]

got it 1/4 down and now its full health

[willow raft]

They gave me a scare first time I encountered them, I was walking around a small body of water in the swamp and something stirred withing it so I was thinking hey that will be a leech, let me get a blood bag and then this monstrous looking spider like wooden thing kept on rising out of it.

[willow raft]

Bow and a bunch of arrows is the best way to deal with it till you get better gear to go toe to toe with it.
Find a fallen log or a crypt to stand on and mess with its pathfinding.

[stoic trench]

Swords do wonders against them as well! Gotta be good at dodging though

[elder pulsar]

Yesssh, they are so cool. I learned their pattern of attacks after observing them enough - turns out as long as you just circle around their right "stompy" leg you're basically safe. Also the wooden set is cool too

As far as I played, swamps are my favourite biome so far

[willow raft]

I prefer the wooden set over the iron set.

[elder pulsar]

I didn't yet got an iron set but I agree :D

[willow raft]

Mine is plains but you might have not gotten to that yet.

[elder pulsar]

Ohhhhh, I was there and I HATE D-squitos with passion. Also Growth killed me once and later I sneaked into a goblin fortress near that black puddle and growth singlehandedly killed all the goblins, spotted me and destroyed said fortress :D I mostly died because of mosquitos basically and now I fear them, hahaha (Ik they can be easily killed but ngaaaaah!)

Growths and mosquitos are scary

No problem with goblin camps tho because I decided to play a stealth archer after dying to mosquitos (yes, very creative :D)

[willow raft]

Yeah deathsquitos are a pain unless you have root harnessk then they are fairly harmless.

[elder pulsar]

Oooh! Thanks! I forgot that root set have a resistance to pierce

Oh, and poison as I can see

[elder pulsar]

Will leviathans re-surface after they fully drown? Or they're forever underwater? I never encountered one yet I think so just asking if I should hurry and bring empty bags or there will be another chance after some time

[lilac coyote]

Nope, gone foroever.

[elder pulsar]

Sadge

[lilac coyote]

There are plenty more on the map.

[elder pulsar]

I never saw one so I hope I will after some exploring :3 (I was constantly unlucky with rain/storm on open sea so I avoided it to not encounter serpents)

[small nest]

i encountered 2 star draugr elite once

[dim vale]

you guys know the issue on the one hand you'd like to play on your own to explore everything and do not get rushed/spoiled but on the other hand you'd love some "nice/good" company?

[lilac coyote]

No?

[willow raft]

Yes. Luckily I've got a good friend that also likes to take his time to explore and slowly build up.

[sterile jay]

They respawn, at least In the Older versions they do

[spare badger]

Currently when you mine a leviathan and they sink they will get deleted

[frail cave]

and they never did respawn

[stoic trench]

Smiffe and I must be crazy, we both could have sworn that they respawned 😅 but they must not!

[frail cave]

i've heard it's possible for them to cancel their sinking animation and stay around if they're unloaded before it finishes, but i haven't tested that

[spare badger]

Yeah you can do that, it gets deleted at the end of the animation, and leaving and reloading will prevent it from finishing and reset it, so you have to trigger the sink again

[fathom badge]

I've heard of people logging out in single player worlds to cancel the animation, but that's the only technique I've heard of.

💡 Add ability to build on leviathans 😛

[zenith nimbus]

Add ability to build portals on boats

[halcyon crag]

no bulb dude

[cyan musk]

what are the chances of sunken crypts to spawn? I've been to like 7 different swamps and not a single one

[halcyon crag]

thiccness of swamp matters, thin smallish ones have less chance

[zenith nimbus]

And

[halcyon crag]

do you even #suggestions ? xD

[zenith nimbus]

Yes), 💡 is saint mark only for this channel

[cyan musk]

i see thank you

[fair wharf]

@cyan musk try https://valheim-map.world/ It'll help you find all kinds of things. just make a note of your seed as you log in to generate the correct map. It will look like this: GW9Uh4FsWt.

[hallow marsh]

What does it mean when people react to a post in the suggestions tab with "recycle"?
(I apologize if this is the wrong tab to ask this question)

[spare badger]

It means they have seen it suggested before. This channel is for discussing suggestions #suggestion-discussion after you make your post 🙂

[hallow marsh]

thx.

[lusty flicker]

Does anybody know what instruments were used in the making of the Haldor music/soundtrack?

[vapid warren]

Youd probably have to ask patrik jarlestrom(im not entirely sure thr spelling of the name is correct) who has composed most of if not all ingame music

[lusty flicker]

@sleek zinc (sorry for ping, but I am curious because i love the music and I actually play an instrument myself)

[elder pulsar]

Any advices how to easier find iron in the swamp without entering crypts? (I decided to make my first playthrough completely reversed and without killing ANY of the bosses before acquiring top gear. And then start from the last one I will find (quenn of the insects or something as I remember) and finish with the deer one)

[elder pulsar]

(yes, I love making my games extremely hard or challenging to play)

[deft forge]

Kill oozers

[elder pulsar]

I killed a dozen and they dropped only 1 piece. I heard I shoud mine under the unbreakable trees or something to find secret scraps of iron and wonder if it should be true (I plan to check with the deer sledgehammer if there is something under them)

[deft forge]

Bc the drop chances are low.

And no, those mud piles spawn randomly over swamps, not under specific locations

[tawdry moat]

Look for mounds in the ground of the Swamp, like little hills.
Normally these can be found only with the Wishbone. But... you can always guess.

[stoic trench]

Could fight Bonemass first, then use wishbone to find iron… that sounds like a nightmare though.

[tawdry moat]

It's a pretty decent way to get Iron if the Crypts are too dangerous, but you will need to protect the dig area.
Swamps are coded to spawn 3 Draugr at any one time, so they will be out there slowly ambling towards you.

[stoic trench]

Oh wait, don’t think they’re available outside of crypts? Or they’re rare?

[tawdry moat]

IMO Crypts are proportionally less dangerous than Burial Mounds can be at first.
Spawners and 1 ⭐ archers - or any Draugr with stars - are the thing to worry about.

[fathom badge]

They are, and they're kinda rare. You can find iron scrap piles out in the swamps with the wishbone.

[tawdry moat]

The shape of the mound is VERY distinct. It's a tall round mound.

The swamp is so flat, so anything more than 2-3m above water level that is a mound could be one.

Just care that you are not on the edge of another biome where the ground rises naturally.

[stoic trench]

Is it possible to spawn or move a dungeon- say a troll cave? Like is there a way one could theoretically have a troll cave in the plains? Dev commands, no mods?

[haughty hinge]

They don't allow us to spawn our own dungeons 😔

[stoic trench]

That makes sense honestly, not surprised! Just figured I’d ask 🙂 thanks for the answer!

[haughty hinge]

thanks for the question 😔

[subtle parrot]

You can cheese your way into crypts

[small nest]

you can find raw (in ground) iron around swamp, you just need wishbone or stagbreaker to find this

[vapid warren]

You can do this through devcommands yeah.

Spawning a dungeon requires the devcommand "location". However if you just do <location ID> it will disable saving. If you do "location ID SAVE" it will allow your world to save. However, you cannot remove a location afterwards

[stoic trench]

Ahhh very good to know! Thanks!

[keen fern]

hi. if a person types forcedelete item without radius how far out will the game delete objects from the avatar?
also are glowingmushrooms something that exist anywhere in game or are they an unused asset?

[vapid warren]

50 is the max range

You need to enter a range if you wanna specify something however

[keen fern]

oh thank goodness. im 97% sure there are no glowingmushrooms in the dark forest or swamp ^_^ ty

[vapid warren]

Glowingmushroom isnt found in the game

[austere flume]

Are wards only able to be toggled by the owner?

[elder pulsar]

Will it show 0 like usual if I use stag? Also, thanks

[sleek zinc]

Hello! No worries in pinging me 🙂
Main melodic instrument is a Swedish key fiddle (Nyckelharpa), and most of the background instruments are either renaissance ones or if I remember correctly it’s Theorbo and bassoon that plays the bass line

[small nest]

it should

[elder pulsar]

I mean, yes, but I felt like it's cheating so I thought that I would do it in typical ymfah fashion, trying to get as far as I possibly will without "cheats" or cheeses

[keen fern]

to my knowledge, yes wards are only toggled by the owner.

[lilac coyote]

They'd be rubbish otherwise.

[elder pulsar]

I will check near the unbreakable trees and crypts then! Also, I think bonemass island should contain at least one secret pile

[fathom badge]

I believe so, yes. But when toggled others can be added to the ward permitted list so they can use chests and doors within the radius.

[small nest]

if its big enough

[austere basin]

hey im making a leech farm and from what i gathered its pretty much a line of turn around the coast surrounded by water on both sides right?

[elder pulsar]

I think it's about 3 miles or so in diameter. Also two crypts and lots of chests with body piles

Basically everywhere I can see there are these places with stones put in a round fashion

And two surtling fountains

[austere flume]

So there's no real reason to hide wards?

[vapid warren]

They can be destroyed

[keen fern]

if your on a pvp server, and want to hide wards from players, try burrying them? if you want to hide them from monsters, yeah you could bury them again, but campfires or workbenches supresse monster spawns also, so you can bury the workbench or campfire and that will "hide" the "spawn supressor" from the monsters

[ruby crypt]

How can I make an object (a stone, tree) indestructible?
Is there any command or mod for this??

[vapid warren]

No

Certain ones are just indestructible

[ruby crypt]

I know there's a way to leave an area with rules like not being able to use pickaxes, not being able to damage structures, mobs spawn
I saw this on a server.
but I don't know how to do it :/

[vapid warren]

Wards stop players who arent permitted by the ward from building, deconstructing and from eterraforming the ground within its area. Player base structures stop spawning within its range. Theres no way to disable structure damage

[austere basin]

how long does it take for an enemy to despawn in unloaded areas?

[vapid warren]

Most enemies dont despawn

[austere basin]

ah damn it

[vapid warren]

Event mobs and night spawns only iirc

[austere basin]

the leech farm i builts has very little leeches in it

and i have a feeling they are just all spawning elsewhere

[coral anvil]

Is there a setting to turn off torches needing fuel? They're only there for aesthetic.. they're pretty

[subtle parrot]

Understand that 💯

[austere flume]

Not necessarily pvp but preventing griefing

Stuff doesnt spawn when youre not nearby

But its just more efficient to run through the swamp.and kill leeches

[austere basin]

ah damn it

at least the blob farm should work

just trap bonemass in a ring of terrain pillars with holes small enough i can escape and keep him in

and wait for blobs to be thrown

also how do you know when it is raining in the ocean?

[cosmic turret]

i keep getting a disconnect symbol on a non dedicated sever i can move around but that is it and then it will disconnect me i have checked game files restarted sever redownloaded game change setting and i don't know why it still wont work

any help is appreciated

[fathom badge]

So, you're just loading a local world and that's happening? Have you ever installed any mods or even mod managers like Thunderstore?

[cosmic turret]

no nothing like that just joining a friends sever

[fathom badge]

Ahh... well, that sounds like a networking issue then. Is your friend inviting you through Steam? Are you both on Steam?

[cosmic turret]

i have good internet connection too

no invite thru steam just joining sever but both on steam yes

[fathom badge]

It sounds like maybe your computer is firewalling you off, or his is. That kind of behavior is very typical of an app being blocked.

[cosmic turret]

i even tried that and turned it all off on my end anyway

there is 4 people in the sever and i am the only one with issue

[ruby crypt]

if you use that comand ( object health=1e30 connect ) all the structures like walls doors etc. cant take damege you cant destroi just with a hammer

but dont work on rocks

/:

[vapid warren]

what command?

[ruby crypt]

object health=1e30 connect

object health=1e30
this work on trees

[stable mural]

I see the yule tree and maypole items are seasonal. Do these events still happen? If not I was thinking of adding them in debug mode

[lilac coyote]

Of course, at the appropriate times.

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

[fathom badge]

They are tied to your current computer date now, instead of being linked to patches like they were previously

[stable mural]

Ohh interesting. Maybe that is why a mod I installed didn't work

Huh I have changed the date and in debug mode and I do not see the tree

[dim granite]

possibly with commands

[fathom badge]

I presume you restarted the game? I don't think it'll work if you just change the date while the game is running. Fully exit before restarting.

[wet verge]

I'm melting my iron and my furnace keeps turning on and off does someone know why ? (it's a visual glitch I think, the stuff continues to melt)

[fathom badge]

It's not a glitch. Smelters produce smoke, and it needs to exhaust just like with a fire. It slows down your processing quite a bit.

[stable mural]

I just figured out I had to turn on no cost building. A lot of the online guides did not have that step

[lilac coyote]

You don't need it, if you have the ingredients.

[fathom badge]

I think you may need to drop and pick up anything when it's in season in order for the recipes to be re-evaluated, even if you've built them before.

[stable mural]

Yeah that was the issue I guess

[wet verge]

ok thx

[fathom badge]

The nice thing is that they don't go out in rain, so it's perfectly possible and even advisable to leave them out in the open 😉

[wet verge]

yeah that's cool

[lime condor]

The tree-four legged walker in the swamp, are fire arrows they only option or should I get close and hew it with the axe?

[fathom badge]

He hits hard, but if you can parry him (max level bronze buckler does it most of the time, an iron shield is even better) it's much faster to hit him with a sword or axe.

[lime condor]

Parry that guy? Well shit, guess it’s time to get good

[fathom badge]

The whip arm attack is the easiest to parry, the stomp and the body slam do a bit more damage and are less reliable

[carmine marten]

What does db mean? Well, I fixed it by going back a save but I’m still curious

[chrome wagon]

Is this anything important?

[stoic trench]

It’s a rare-ish find, I wouldn’t say it’s important though. If you decide to build near enough to it, you get an extra point of comfort.

[chrome wagon]

ok thanks

[gloomy edge]

They're seasonal item, so you'll be able to build them once spring update arrives

[vapid warren]

is this a mod? cause that's not a command

[gloomy edge]

It is, from World Edit Commands

[ruby crypt]

i only use server devcommands, infinity hammer and world edit commands!

[vapid warren]

So yeah... mods lmao

[ruby crypt]

I've been looking everywhere and I can't find any commands or mods that allow me to manipulate areas on the map so that mobs don't spawn.

[vapid warren]

Just fill the area with player base structures

If you wanna ask for mods though, you can check out #mods-discussion

[ruby crypt]

I've done this and a dwarf or a skeleton always appears

[ruby crypt]

thx

[frail cave]

I'm going to make a crop farm on a plains island, would it be safe to let chickens roam & farm them in the same space?

I plan on walling the island off, so no worries on them swimming off.

Oh nvm, I just read the eggs need a roof & obviously the crops need no roof. Womp womp.

[frigid stump]

zil and thungr keep attacking me, ive been attacked by them the last 5 raids. do i need to defeat a boss to start getting raided by something else or?

[crystal matrix]

Is going for wishbone asap for iron faster/better than crypt diving?

[sterile jay]

Crypts are better

Just make sure you have a pick better than antler, as the antler pickaxe drops half the usual stone and ores

When compared to any other pickaxe

[limber canopy]

Is there a mod that allows me to dig (remove ground) at a larger radius?

[sterile jay]

Crypts > iron deposits

[crystal matrix]

Thanks!

[marble roost]

Trying to find above ground iron is not recommended

[spare drift]

is there even a difference between these two

[marble roost]

Not other than the ingredients made to use it and the weight of the platter being twice as much.

It can be good to eat both though!

[spare drift]

platter is more readily available

so ill go with that

[marble roost]

arguable, but if it is easier for you to make then it might be the better option if you don't want to eat both

[spare drift]

for my current condition of course, we recently started having hatchlings so we dont have a chicken supply

[marble roost]

That's fair. I usually don't have farms of tames much so I don't think I've ever even made chicken or egg recipes. Or if I have it's only been a few

[agile umbra]

weight

meat platter is 4 pounds, honey glazed chicken is 2

[spare drift]

no thats the same as well cuz one has 2 more items in stack

[agile umbra]

oh snap u rite

[hexed plover]

Hello. I stopped playing Valhiem awhile back and recently picked it up again. I had to unistall and clean reinstall but I dont know if this updated my worldseed as I have not found any of the new dungeons in mountains or Mistalands. Do I need to update my world seed?
