[halcyon crag]

solo world? mods?

[peak temple]

root harnesk for the queen, yea or nay? At a glance it looks like about half her attacks are pierce?

[frail cave]

yes and no

very weird

[halcyon crag]

never had/heard things vanish completely outside of A: server desync B: mods C: saves going corrupt, hard to say

[remote sky]

i dont think my specs really matter since i used to play on a 2gb ram pc and intel integrated gpu

i just installed the game rn

and tried verifying game files

none of the betas work too

[atomic wing]

I started a new game with the hardest difficulty setting and no map/portals. I am used to playing modded with creature level loot control with creatures up to 5 stars and tons of different enemies (sheer madness most times), but I wanted to see what it was like vanilla on the newer difficulty settings. I haven't seen an added star on anything yet. What should the percentage increase on starred enemies look like on the hardest setting? Is it still going to be fairly normal to not see higher level stars?

[frail cave]

Higher stars have a higher chance to appear on very hard and they do hit pretty hard in comparison

[lilac coyote]

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

[atomic wing]

Thank you! I didn't realize that chart existed. That helps.

[lilac coyote]

Mods?

[halcyon crag]

launch the game through steam @remote sky

[remote sky]

none

[remote sky]

i am using steam to open it

[lilac coyote]

At what point in the video do you open Steam?

[remote sky]

steam tray

[halcyon crag]

open up steam and launch it from the library

[remote sky]

i also did bro

just updated drivers will try again

[lilac coyote]

Good Lord there's a lot of people in that one VC.

[remote sky]

it was the drivers

[safe glacier]

Trying to join a public server, there are ones with keys next to them and ones without. Can't join either. They both ask me for passwords. Wtf.

[marble roost]

Go to #1024264966712340510, find a server you like, ask if you can join, they'll give you password if they want you to join

[safe glacier]

But I just want to join random people's games who have listed their servers as not password protected. Seems stupid to have that distinction in game and still ask me for passwords. What am I missing?

[crystal matrix]

How do you get a 2star boar to spawn?

[restive hinge]

I did not change the seed that was provided, I will try again but I gavce up

[flint knoll]

I need help building a large thatch roof anyone willing to give some tips?

[spark shell]

• Random spawn chance in meadows (1%) once you are 800m+ from world centre
• One time spawns near boar runestones and abandoned villages have a chance regardless of distance

Just kill any non 2* boars you see after being sufficiently far from world centre and hope for the best

[marble roost]

To my knowledge you can't make a server without a password. Haven't experimented with it tho

The game is intended to be played with ppl you trust, bc it doesn't have much in terms of anti grief mechanics and the like

[safe glacier]

So what is the key on the right hand side? I feel like when I made my server it asked if I wanted to put a password or not.

[marble roost]

Again not sure I haven't really played around with it much or tried to join servers of non-friends. You can make a solo world just fine tho, just if you want to make a online world public to everyone I think it needs a password

[flint knoll]

Can anyone tell me how to support a roof? It keeps breaking

[midnight pivot]

With wood poles

[flint knoll]

Can you give an example of how? I’ve tried everything lol @midnight pivot

[marble roost]

Prob best to look it up on YouTube

Early on you can't give great roof support tho. Or at least it is difficult to. Look up how to do it, if it's still not enough aim lower for your early builds. Later on you get good materials to support roofs

[restive hinge]

I tried starting a game a few weeks ago and it would not start for me. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but it never allowed me into the game. I started a world and used the seed provided. Any help is welcome, I would like to try out this game

[mystic solar]

You'll have to provide more details. What system, and what exactly happens when you try to start, aka do you get any error message?

[thick agate]

I think they can only spawn at night too

[thick agate]

https://youtube.com/shorts/LZ0j-DlqaGk?si=2Hiq-bq2Jan5kOhl

Certain materials can only handle being built but so high.

[willow raft]

@thick agate Thas is only for 2 star wolves
2 star boars can spawn in the wild if you are 800m+ from the center of the map.
They can spawn closer to the center only in a few select cases and only once.
Abandoned villages and boar stones can spawn 2 star boars only once.

Want to know more: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Boar

[crystal matrix]

Ive tried for hours visiting the runestones, but only got 1star boars. Any easy way to estimate how far is 800 tiles?

[willow raft]

Not really, about a 5th away from middle to end.
If I'm not mistaken the map size is about 10km radius so a 10th of the map should be 1km.

[barren coyote]

Hi. Sorry to be a pain. I just wondered if anyone could help me with a question about Nitrado severs.
My friends and I play on Nitrado servers on Xbox. Is there a way to add any mods to the server that will work whilst we play on Xbox? Specifically building related Mods like unlimited resources? Thanks in advance

[willow raft]

Unlimited resources for building can be done with the world modifiers.

[barren coyote]

Oh ok. Thanks. I’m not the actual sever host, he is an IRL friend, and he suggested we couldn’t do it. Are modifiers added on the Nitrado end? Or by accessing the Dev commands?

[willow raft]

When you make the world or load the world you can change them.

[barren coyote]

I will Google it. I don’t know anything about it, but thanks 🙏

[reef flame]

I am making a wall around my base of the terrain and i just wanted to ask if there is a better strategy people know?

[willow raft]

Depends what you are going for.
I like to combine earthen walls with a moat and a cattle-bridge over the moat to keep enemies from easily getting into my base.
I also make a dock if I make my base at the water front, with stairs that have a small horizontal gap so again the pathfinding is broken for mobs.

[reef flame]

I see, I mean just a wall with two openings on one side because my base is big

[spare wharf]

how to host server? 🙂

[willow raft]

You fire a server up with some fire and brimstone, make a world and let other people know the credentials for said world.
If you mean setting up a dedicated server with a 3th party I can't help you.

[lilac coyote]

You'll need to use the Dedicated server tool which can be downloaded from Steam. The chaps in #dedicated-server may be able to help further.

[lilac coyote]

We're lucky to have you.

[spare wharf]

thanks you guys.

[ember sluice]

you could check the wiki for building radius of work bench and build them out so the build circles touch. might take a bit of time. probably better off carrying around a stack of wood and mushroom and pray to the gods to provide

[fleet wing]

Anyone able to tell me why at most I can only get 13 comfort here?

[frail cave]

are there any banners? (curtains don't count) and the hot tub doesn't look lit

(thrones, rugs and tables don't stack with themselves, you only need one throne, rug and plains tier table of any kind)

[fleet wing]

Ok, Banner for sure, and tub was lit ill check again

might have runout

[frail cave]

i don't see the banner, is it out of frame?

[fleet wing]

I was missing the banner, I thought drapes counted

AWesome I'm at 16

[fathom badge]

Now you just need a Maypole and Yule tree

[fleet wing]

Seasonal on those ya?

[flint knoll]

Can anyone send a photo or a video of how they’ve supported a large thatch roof?

[fathom badge]

Roof support is the same as an other pieces... it depends on the number of connections away from "ground" and the type of materials. A corewood pole in the middle of the roof is an early material you can use to often help with that, or stone pillars.

[stoic trench]

If I were to hang around in a decent sized meadows biome just sweeping back and forth killing boar, would this be a decent way to get a 2 star boar to spawn? Far from spawn, of course.

[frail cave]

yes that's the ideal strategy

[rain seal]

got enough silver for all the family to get wolf armour

[fathom badge]

As long as you're far enough from the world center for them to spawn.

[stoic trench]

Awesome, thanks team 👍 last piece of the puzzle for me to call it complete, for now!

[thick agate]

thank you

[brazen hollow]

Hello! Can anyone help me figure out how to make the debugmode command work (after inserting the devcommands) on a local server? I can't figure out how to add admins

[oblique hawk]

Only the host can use devcommands.

#valheim-help message details how.

[sour oriole]

Hello im hoping one of yall can maybe help me I have tons of hours on valheim and has been working fine but now for whatever reason when I try and load it it makes my screen go black and flash in and out and unresponsive and will not let me do anything after that which makes me have to hard reset my PC can anyone please help me

[brazen hollow]

what about a dedicated server?

[flint knoll]

is anyone able to join on me and explain how to build a large roof? ive tried everything everybody has suggested to no avail

[arctic shale]

i am running an dedicated server on a seperat pc.
and i have a long delay, is there a fix for that?

my internet isnt the problem, i have 32mb/s

[solemn flower]

how to make portal

[true steeple]

Finewood, surtling cores and greydwarf eyes.

[fair wharf]

a workbench lol

If unlocked, you'll find it on the Misc. tab of the build menu

[haughty hinge]

A hammer then as well

And a bit of stamina

[fair wharf]

😄 oops!

[fathom badge]

To make an apple pie, you must first invent the universe...

[fair wharf]

So THAT's why someone did it! Always wondered ...

[haughty hinge]

Imagine those who invented the universe but failed at apple pie part..

[fathom badge]

It's a Carl Sagan quote 😉 Kids these days...

[fair wharf]

Not a Sagan fan myself. I lean more towards C.S. Lewis for my reading. Note: I'm over 65 irl

[haughty hinge]

Carl Sagan is the goat. I had a poster with him on my wall when i was a kid

There was a choice either him or pamela anderson

[fathom badge]

I mean, Sagan was a science educator and Lewis was a religious fantasy author... not a whole lot of overlap 😛

[fair wharf]

Exactly. When I want to relax, "the real world" can go hang. Preferably someplace else where somebody appreciates it.

aaaaand we're getting a bit off this channels topic I think.

[copper fog]

what exactly is a sea serpent and how do i get to it?

[fathom badge]

Serpents occur in the Ocean, at night or during storms. Go sailing in the Oceans at those times and one will find you soon enough 😉

[copper fog]

how do i capture it?

[fathom badge]

It's not intended to be captured. You can lead it to shore and pull it on land with a harpoon, but you generally want to kill it. Arrows are handy for that.

[copper fog]

oohhhhh okay

[fair wharf]

Giant snake that lives in the ocean. You need to (usually) sail around ... a LOT. Unike Pitabread, they seem to be avoiding me 😭

[fathom badge]

There is a timeout, if it doesn't spawn in a certain section of the ocean it is something like 20-40 minutes or something before that area is valid again. So sailing across a lot of ocean is the best, sailing back and forth is just a waste of time.

[copper fog]

do they have the best food in the game or something?

[fair wharf]

Not bad at all, but the Serpent scale Shield is the real prize

[copper fog]

oh you can make weapons from it???

[stoic trench]

Nope, just the shield

[copper fog]

oh okay

still sounds great to get but it probably takes a long time to find one

[stoic trench]

They’re not too hard to find in my experience, but they do also drop a trophy sometimes- looks great mounted on a wall!

[fair wharf]

And your advice is on point @fathom badge . I've been doing that (and revealing lots of map), but sightings have been ... rare.

[fathom badge]

You also need the trophy to make heavy bait for ocean fishing

[stoic trench]

Maybe this is just a mobile thing, but (sorry if I use incorrect terminology here) the graph that has all the fish and their stats and such is incredibly long? Like there’s a lot of empty space?

[fathom badge]

Could be just mobile. The wiki can be formatted weird like that sometimes, and it's kind of a terrible site in general but it's what we've got

[visual radish]

It is just mobile, the chart is normal if the page is accessed from a computer.

[shrewd sun]

ive been playing this game off and on since launch, and ive been getting intermittent lag spikes every five minutes or so in game.

I run on a 3080, 16 gb of ram, and a processor that came out two years ago.

any suggestions as to what might be causing this issue? been looking around on the interwebs for a while, and thought this was just an autosave issue, but im getting all sorts of answers that a lot of which dont make sense

ive pulled up task manager, and my ram is at 60% usage, cpu at 10%, gpu at 24-27

[visual radish]

If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and tap on "view full site", it will send you to the desktop version of the page, with a correctly formatted chart (none of the massive amounts of empty space).

[lilac coyote]

The Wiki is an absolute nightmare to work with. If I could get it better I would.

[stoic trench]

Thanks for the tips and info!

[solemn flower]

HOW TO MAKE PORTALS

nvm

[fathom badge]

So, in general make sure there is no shadow recording turned on, or game driver specific settings for Valheim. Also making sure that you have XMP/DOCP or whatever turned on can make a large difference as well since the game is very CPU and memory bandwidth sensitive. You might also consider setting the Render Scaling to a fixed amount instead of it being automatic, just to keep the variables limited. Having multiple game overlays (driver, and Steam, and Discord, etc.) can also cause those kinds of lag issues.

[sleek herald]

You forgot the flat ground.

[deep pawn]

I'm having an issue where I'm trying to join community servers, but even when I try to join the ones that don't have a key icon, they ask for a password. Does anyone know what's going on?

[lilac coyote]

Almost every server (certainly vanilla) will require a password, you'll have to ask the owner for it before joining.

[tawny hemlock]

was the portal exploit fixed? (the one where you could change its name then immediately jump in before it updates) i havent played in a while

[visual radish]

They seem to shut off much more quickly now. Doesn't really matter though, you just need 1 extra portal as a temporary placeholder to get the same end result.

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[buoyant peak]

All servers need a password. Ask the host

[deep pawn]

Oh, got it.

[shrewd sun]

thank you kindly for the input. I will definitely try these out when I get home. Much appreciated.

[tawny hemlock]

temporary placeholder
can you elaborate coz i dont totally get it 😅

[visual radish]

You just place another portal, give it the new name you want the portals to have, go through the original portal, then rename the one on the other side to the new name, then go back through and break down the original portal.

[molten pollen]

are there I-frames in this game?

[fathom badge]

Yes. Very generous ones compared to many games when you do the dodge rolling.

[molten pollen]

no way i have 150+ hours in this game and im just now finding out about

[fathom badge]

One of my favorite uses of it is to roll forward into golems as they strike to avoid the damage, use the secondary on the iron mace to stun them and then destroy them with following attacks

[mystic solar]

Mind you the game forces you to use a somewhat obscure key combination to dodge, as opposed to a freely rebindable single key. I am using my gaming mouse to be able to use just one button to dodge, as I am used to from other games.

Dodging increases your survivability massively though!

[fathom badge]

I mean... in most places that you're going to want to dodge you're already going to want to be blocking, so hitting jump isn't really that much more. Plus it means if you miss the dodge you are already blocking so you at least blunt some of the damage.

[mystic solar]

Thing is I am regularly playing another game where dodging is a matter of life and death, and I refuse to mess up my muscle memory 🙂

[solemn flower]

hey

[surreal terrace]

full set teir 3 troll armor and poison res potion and abomination is cooking me. Should I switch over to bronze armor for this?

[subtle parrot]

If you can manage to get you some iron from a crypt, that would be the way to go, if not high tier bronze might be okay. But you'll really see a difference in iron armor.

[surreal terrace]

Thanks

[last latch]

does anyone have any idea how to fix server issues? not dedicated, its just when my friend joins me through steam every so often the server gets real laggy and basically freezes the world around us, but we can still individually move, we just cant see eachother moving

[fathom badge]

An iron buckler will let you parry it, more armor isn't really needed. Make sure you've got good food, too.

[surreal terrace]

Very helpful info thank you

[molten pollen]

does the linen cape also protect against the cold or is it just mostly cosmetic?

what do these yellow numbers mean next to the damages

[stray gyro]

anyone have a solution for dungeon spawning & mob spawning in new areas making the game stutter ?

[true steeple]

Thats the minimum and maximum damage per hit you deal (affected by skill), and how much block armor the item has after being increased by your block skill

[frail cave]

ive found a dwarf outpost
Do I get someting if I kill them?

or does it provide me something if I dont?

[stray gyro]

they have drops yes

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Dvergr_rogue u can check the wiki page if u dont care about spoilers

[frail cave]

how much damage do they deal?

[stray gyro]

they can fight mobs with you if one appears

thats about all u get for keeping them alive

[frail cave]

there are 2 mages and 1 with a crossbow

[stray gyro]

theyre pretty strong if ur just entering mistlands

[frail cave]

I have full plains gear and good food

[true steeple]

lure enemies in to fight for you

[frail cave]

theyre on an island😭

[austere plank]

Anyone knows for sure, if it will be OK to play on the same map if North and South not discovered yet. I mean will update requires wipe or not. Trying not to uncover any late game map at the moment.

[stray gyro]

Not sure if i understand but not discovering anything should not break anything in future updates. But if you do go far south and North to the biomes which aren’t yet finished, the area you discover will not be updated when the biome releases since it’s already loaded in. Hope that helps

A game update will not require a wipe when a New biome releases

[austere plank]

That is perfect, will stick with Plains for now 😅👍 Thanks

[sullen tide]

how high do you usually make your rooms?

been looking at a lot of builds and the usually omit all work benches

[austere plank]

I just place it as i build, then just destroy them. I put some in my foundations too.

[midnight pivot]

is it possible to stop decay?

i just came back to my base i was building and the whole thing was decaying

[halcyon crag]

with roof above yes

[midnight pivot]

ah okay

[halcyon crag]

otherwise it's repairing after every rain

[midnight pivot]

need to finish building then

[halcyon crag]

also later there are options for treated wood pieces that don't rot

[midnight pivot]

oh okay

[tawny hemlock]

is sailing around black forest coastlines still the best way to find the merchant?

[twilit meteor]

Heyo, i was wondering how to properly set up a server - since no matter how i use the dedicated server or the normal hosting via valheim client - no one can connect to it (they can see the server an all)

[woven sorrel]

@vapid crane https://www.pcgamer.com/valheim-multiplayer-dedicated-server/ if you wanna have a look at how.

[frail cave]

How many ancient seeds is it for the elder

[spare drift]

is my extractor not working

[real nebula]

Did you fill it with materials on both ends?

[spare drift]

my bad i forgot it needs soft tissue

[abstract ether]

hello i need help, i had a world and character and its missing, i dont know what to do i had everything in there 🥲

[reef flame]

How many walls before a troll cant pass through?

I'd guess about 4 right?

[swift lava]

Greetings vikings, I'm booting up Valheim for the first time in a while, I'm trying to test out some mods (not what this message is about, I know there's a channel for that), so I'm looking to open up console commands, and I flat-forgot how to do it. I googled it, the results say I should add "-console" to the game launch options (which I seem to have done), then press F5. Except that last bit still doesn't seem to do anything, am I a dumb-dumb, or are the instructions I saw online out-dated or some such thing?

[vapid warren]

generally this is a question for #mods-issues but i know there are certain mobs like valheim plus that you need to change a settting in the config files if you wanna use the console

[swift lava]

I don't have that specifically. I've got the config manager, some expand world mods, so I don't have any reason to think this is a mod issue. But you're saying that pressing F5 with -console in the launch option should work? Just so we got that straight?

[vapid warren]

yeah, if that doesnt work its most likely f5 being broken or your mod interfering

[swift lava]

Right, thanks for the help, I guess I'll start by looking into it on my end, and if I need to ask again, I'll consider it a mod problem 👍

[crystal matrix]

Whats with the space requirement of crafting tables upgrades? This tools shelf wont go green anywhere

[vapid warren]

are you placing it on a wall?

[crystal matrix]

Yes, but nevermind. I got the tool shelf and tool rack mixed up. My bad

[vapid warren]

as long as it works out 👍

[frank lichen]

need some help setting up a server

[barren coyote]

Is it possible to play with Mods on Xbox?
We have a Nitrado server. Can I load “ grow anywhere” and then use that whilst playing Xbox?
Can anyone answer with any certainty please?

[vapid warren]

#mods-issues would be where to ask

[green crystal]

I think crossplay is the bottleneck.

[barren coyote]

Yes that would be sensible. Thanks

[frail cave]

Like raised stone wall or wood wall or

[oblique hawk]

Trolls can't pass through walls, but they can destroy any number of walls given time, except raised earth walls.
Did you mean how far their log swing attack reaches? I'm not exactly sure but a bit less than 10 metres I believe.

[carmine marten]

So I play Valheim on my Xbox and recently got it on my computer, is there anyway I can get my saves from Xbox to my computer?

[subtle parrot]

~~ I believe if you have it saved on cloud you can load it up in the pc game pass version, and then you can copy the save to your computer in the manage saves menu. I don't have a pc, so I'm not 100%, but I remember seeing this question here before the fallout, and this is also what google says. ~~

@carmine marten

[reef flame]

I know they can't pass through walls. I mean how high does a wall need to be before they will stop attempting to step over it?

[vapid warren]

steam or PC gamepass?

[carmine marten]

steam

[halcyon crag]

should be 45 degrees but the new engine may have added a few more to that

for a wall 2m high should be enough to break pathing

[fathom badge]

For earthen walls, the enemy pathing has gotten a lot better. If you can sprint and run up a wall without jumping, an enemy will probably be able to climb it.

[subtle parrot]

Use the pick and hoe to make sure the edges are clean along the outside and top of the wall

[vapid warren]

Do you not have it on pc too, since you got it on xbox, or doesnt it work like that? Either way, im not sure how youd get it from xbox to pc without having it on gamepass pc, but i could help you if you did

[carmine marten]

I bought it on xbox and it was on sale on steam

oh wait i didn't realize i could just install it from the Microsoft store

[vapid warren]

Yeah thats what i thought lol

[vapid warren]

Anyway if you still wanna use it thtough steam. When you select a character or world, click the manage saves, then move local. It will then be saved in the same folder on your computer. Youll be able to access it in both clients. Can then click move to cloud to have it saved on steam or microsoft cloud respectively

[carmine marten]

awesome thanks

[zenith nimbus]

Anybody know why it happen?
When stone on iron beam then stone have 323.598541 support
When stone on iron cage then stone have 247.036560 support
Shouldn't they both have the same center? Or could there be a difference in the support points?
Any formulas I've tried here don't get any results.
The support values are correct, as they were obtained directly from game memory.

[haughty hinge]

Does the second image have a horizontal iron cage piece there?

[zenith nimbus]

No, beam + stone on first only, and cage + stone on second only

[haughty hinge]

Not a builder myself, but seems that vertical cage pieces have different type of support comparing with horizontal ones, not 100% sure though

[zenith nimbus]

Both of them have type Iron, so have 1500 init support, and 1/13 horizontal and vertical loss

[haughty hinge]

It may be true, but my point is that when you make a stone floor, horizontal cage pieces seem to support it much better than when you just attach it to a vertical ones, so mb the issue is with how this support is spread, just a guess

[visual radish]

Yeah, only notable difference is the physical location of each piece.

Center vs at the edge of the block.

[frail cave]

they're both at the edge

[zenith nimbus]

beam aligned to edge center (by 1m blocks)

[visual radish]

The perspective was making it hard to tell, nvm then.

[zenith nimbus]

Yes, ofc, if add horizontal cage then stone should have max support, but problem in formula understanding.

[haughty hinge]

Right, so it's where you should start digging for it, to fully understand the formula you need to provide us with some more examples of iron support

[zenith nimbus]

If there are ideas of examples that can help to the analysis, I can realize them.

[haughty hinge]

Try placing both in the center point and/or try using two similar beams/cages from both sides at the same time to see how/if it affects

[zenith nimbus]

For center should be for both 1-0.6/8
Placing for both sides should eliminate horizontal loss
Ok, I'll test them, one moment

[haughty hinge]

Not sure both sides will eliminate it

[zenith nimbus]

Increased distance, but zero horizontal loss

[haughty hinge]

But what are the numbers?

[zenith nimbus]

In progress

3 iron beams and stone on top (center)
third beam should have: 1500*(1-2.1/13)^2 = 1054.52662722, in game: 1054.526611, float point error, looks correct
stone on top should have: 1500*(1-2.1/13)^2*(1-1.6/8) = 843.621301775, in game: 843.621277

3 iron beams from both sides (center of corner)
3rd beam and cage have same support.
with beams: 803.715332
with cages: 803.714539
by formula: 1500*(1-2.1/13)^2*(1-(sqrt(1.5^2+1)+0.1)/8) = 803.710680267

[haughty hinge]

why are doing this to me? you are supposed to have zero idea of how unjustifiably greedy for formulas i am.

[zenith nimbus]

Me too, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this XD

[haughty hinge]

let me think.. a month, probably two now

And what about your first experiment but with 3 beams/cages instead?

That difference is still there?

[zenith nimbus]

With only one connection to edge? It's shouldn't change anything. I did it for second and third experiment because stone support limited only by 1000

[haughty hinge]

Ok

[zenith nimbus]

Oh, getting all formulas for ancient roots was much easier... But even here was problem, constants in code and game was different...

[barren yarrow]

Anyone else having issues connecting in multiplayer?

[gilded dome]

uhhh is there not pickaxes in this game (im new)

[frail cave]

your first pickaxe is crafted with the drop of the first boss, eikthyr

[zenith nimbus]

Or ||from of bronze, if a kind troll helps you mine it.))))||

[lunar cedar]

you would need ||tin|| and a lot of stone anyway

[lunar cedar]

normally you wouldn't even bother to gather that much stone at this point because there aren't many things you can do with it, so a pickaxe is not necessary...

[zenith nimbus]

Never tried it, but can't ||tin be mined|| the same way?

[lunar cedar]

it can, but what's easier? killing eikthyr and getting yourself a pickaxe or making ||a troll gather copper, tin, and stone for you to craft a bronze one?||

[zenith nimbus]

Let's forget the fact that it's faster to kill a deer than to engage in masochism.

[visual radish]

What's the more fun/entertaining option?

[lunar cedar]

straight to blackmetal pick

[uncut helm]

any good way to get half tile snapping?

[zenith nimbus]

0.5m align?

[uncut helm]

yeah pretty much, i need to place the flooring in my handmade dvergr tower and i want it to be the same level

[lunar cedar]

which is doable btw

[visual radish]

For vertical half spacing you can use core wood.

[uncut helm]

that does make sense yeah

[last latch]

does anyone have any idea how to fix steam multiplayer issues? when my friend joins me through steam every so often the game gets real laggy and basically freezes the world around us, but we can still individually move, we just cant see eachother moving
when he leaves or disconnects, everything is fine, its really annoying

[fathom badge]

Unfortunately that is likely due to the network connection between the two of you. There's not much to tweak around Valheim's networking.

[last latch]

Ah okay, is there anything we can do?

[ornate finch]

Check on how much FPS does your friend run the game on + tell them to perform this test in order to see which grade they get at the end of it:
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

[narrow robin]

hey all, QQ, if you had a choice between iron axe and iron pickaxe, which would you go with

[vapid warren]

always iron pickaxe

the axe isnt necessary, the pickaxe is

[sturdy folio]

I feel called out

[vapid warren]

i was debating tagging you

[sturdy folio]

😄

[tawny hemlock]

how do you reel in the fish properly when fishing? i hold left mouse and i keep losing the fish

[stoic trench]

So if you position yourself just right where there is less distance between you and the fish, this makes fishing much easier. Also, leveling up the skill makes it easier. Eat stamina rich foods, and maybe use some stamina meads if you really want to.

[stoic trench]

Oh, and probably the biggest tip- when the fish is shaking side to side, it’s fighting you. Ease off the reel and wait to reel again when it stops shaking! This will help conserve your stamina. @tawny hemlock

[eternal badge]

anyone good at lox breeder building? or any tips?.. ive watched alot of youtube videos. but im still unsure on how to make it work per what ive already built per my base. they are just in a pen for now

[clear marlin]

The earth wall is indestructible, then, with the help of a hoe, make it look like a stone wall 😼

[eternal badge]

ooh okie dokie ty so much

[clear marlin]

You don't need to make them high, the main thing is that they are steep and you can't climb them 😼👍

[eternal badge]

and should i keep all lox together or keep the "parents" above them

[clear marlin]

@eternal badge At the base of all my walls is an earthen rampart, and no matter what comes to destroy them, they will not go further 😼

[clear marlin]

You can make a few paddocks, and build parapets out of roof parts that you can move them from paddock to paddock with the help of a saddle😼

[eternal badge]

oooh awesome. ive done all breeders besides the lox. they are soo big. and i already trenched around my whole base... smh

[clear marlin]

Make the corrals separately, dig them tode, and make a passage through the trench 😼👍

[eternal badge]

Thank you so much. 🙂

[clear marlin]

Find a place where a lot of berries grow and garden it 😼

[eternal badge]

ooh good idea

[clear marlin]

The passage through the trench can be made from the leaves of a wooden gate, just put about a dozen across the trench very close to each other, and then just open it or close it, and you will have a folding bridge 😸

I have a server I host on my pc that we don't want to lose, I want to switch losing skill on death but I am scared of using the console and it messing with Ashland so when it updates I don't have the Ashland Content. Can anyone help me or reassure me on how to do it.

[ornate finch]

due to portion of game logic running on clients, weak systems running the game on low fps can cause desyc issues

check how much fps and buffer bloat test I linked

[sour oriole]

Hello im hoping one of yall can maybe help me I have tons of hours on valheim and has been working fine but now for whatever reason when I try and load it it makes my screen go black and flash in and out and unresponsive and will not let me do anything after that which makes me have to hard reset my PC can anyone please help me

[cinder flax]

is this normal lmao

the cart being there upside down and just chilling

[crystal matrix]

The cart is tired after a long day of lifting. It is resting

[old bronze]

Are your drivers up to date?

[mystic solar]

Remove all mods in case you got any installed. Yes, check your drivers. And worst case re-install the game. Is Valheim the only game giving you problems?

[frail cave]

can you split a mountain with a pickaxe like moses

[tough hare]

Nope.

Longer answer:

There's a certain amount you can mine down on a map, leaving an indestructible "foot" after that.
So you can't mine a tunnel, you can't mine down to water level in the mountains to create a pass.
The only thing you may be able to, is mining down to the maximum permitted depth of 8 meters - I think it was - creating something that might resemble a mountain pass. But all the way to the bottom to split a mountain?
Not possible.

[halcyon crag]

also probably a mod for that

[midnight pivot]

can you reactivate a boss if you beAT it?

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[oblique hawk]

You can summon as many as you want by using the required items again, also if there's already a summoned boss there.

it would have been interesting tho

[spare drift]

should i continue using fenris+root or is eitr set the endgame option

[frail cave]

depends on your playstyle. eitr weave may not slow you down as much as metal armor, but it's still slower than fenris and geared specifically towards a mage playstyle.

[spare drift]

if i want a mix should i eat eitr food

[frail cave]

well eitr food is necessary for magic weapons, as far as i've heard at least 2 eitr, but i'm no magic user.

[spare drift]

also how can i download mods?

[frail cave]

#mods-discussion would know

[midnight pivot]

do you smelt scrap iron in regular smelters?

[vapid warren]

yes

[midnight pivot]

okay

[haughty hinge]

Have you figured out the formula yet? If not can you obtain the numbers for the stone on cage (as in 1st experiment, 2nd image), but with the stone moved one snap point off the center x axis (with its 1/3 hanging over the edge)?

[lunar dragon]

hi

My friend on my same wifi network can't join me on my private server

[haughty hinge]

Are you sure he's using local ip not public?

[lunar dragon]

how do i see or change that

[cloud moat]

Hey guys! How's the game on Xbox Series X? I'm thinking about joining the hype but I see so much people using moded stuff that I'm not sure where to start. I have a good PC but I really enjoy playing in the console a lot more. What's your advice?

[lilac coyote]

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

[zenith nimbus]

1/3? I don't know any way for do this accurate

[zenith nimbus]

Main problem, formulas from this page didn't works for some complex cases.

[orchid urchin]

if i have a vanilla server where me and my friends play but i want to add a mod,does everybody in the server need to download the mod? (im the host)

[lilac coyote]

They're the ones the game uses though.

[zenith nimbus]

Yes, but what is "center"? Why iron beam and iron cage have different center?

[lunar dragon]

How can I change from using public to local ip?

my other friends can join, but they arent on the same network

[haughty hinge]

It's much easier for you to just google it

[lunar dragon]

it only shows stuff for dedicated servers. not local

shouldnt need to go through setting up flipping port forwarding for a local server

[haughty hinge]

If you're in the same house as the host machine: type the IPv4 Address and the Port, separated by a colon.
If you're not in the same house as the host machine: type the External IP Address and the Port, separated by a colon.

[haughty hinge]

Never mind, i think that article pretty much explains how it works.

[zenith nimbus]

I tried this:
3rd cage as always: 1054.526611
stone: 803.710693

[zenith nimbus]

much closer to this formula result

[haughty hinge]

The thing is, the beam has width of 0, the cage has 2, i think intuitively it already brings this 1.3 times difference, but i didn't have time to check it in a formula. Still think it will work.

[haughty hinge]

I meant the same but with stone slightly touching cage (as in 1st exp) but with its corner only

[zenith nimbus]

It's just break, so less than 100

[haughty hinge]

Right, so i think it's ok then. Have you read the article carefully?

[zenith nimbus]

I even read source code of this.

[haughty hinge]

'The distance is calculated between centers of two pieces, using the standard Pythagorean method. However, a "fudge factor" of 0.1 meters is added to the distance for most calculations. Distance can generally be calculated with the following formula:

Distance = SquareRoot( ([component's height]/2 + [parent's height]/2)2
+ ([component's width]/2 + [parent's width]/2)2 ) + 0.1
For example, a Log pole 4m has a height of 4 meters and a width of 0, and a Log beam 2m has a width of 2m and a height of 0, so if a Log beam 2m is placed on a Log pole 4m (making a Г-shape), the distance between them will be 2.336 meters.'

[zenith nimbus]

And have only 2 potential problem places:

1. GetCOM return some value, not center of piece
2. FindSupportPoint return some other point, so angle in formula different

[haughty hinge]

I actually know nothing about how you obtain those numbers from the game

[zenith nimbus]

Cheat Engine, directly from memory

But I can't read vector values, it's have some non trivial structure

[haughty hinge]

Ok, then i don't know what your current issue is. Cause my issue was resolved

[zenith nimbus]

You could write formula which get +- same values?

[haughty hinge]

I think yes, they are already written in the article

I told you i didn't make calculations, but for me seems legit

[zenith nimbus]

Pls, try, because I can't. I tried many things, solve EQ systems with wolfram, etc. And still can't get this value.

[haughty hinge]

The parent's width is what giving the difference, it's obvious now

[zenith nimbus]

About height, width, etc. Code work with coordinates and calculate distance between two points. All this was written just for human understanding. And all this work correctly for trivial cases.

[haughty hinge]

Ofc it is, but just reread that excerpt, it already explains that difference in obtained by you numbers, cuz the beam number is 1.3 times bigger. So idk why do you need anything else?

[zenith nimbus]

Do you really understand what is distance?

[copper fog]

Bro how do i find more birds I desperately need more arrows

[zenith nimbus]

Both of them have same width and height, but:
Left case you can't connect 2nd and 100*(1-(sqrt(2^2+2^2)+0.1)/5) = 41.4314575051, in game 41.432854
Right case you can connect 2nd and 100*(1-2.1/5) = 58, in game 58.001972

[lunar cedar]

you can get a lot of feathers from cutting down trees

[subtle parrot]

You can always play it on the pc with the Xbox controller, but Xbox has no mod access or support at this time. Either way i would suggest giving it a go on vanilla and use the world modifiers after your first playthrough and figured out what to do in game. It's really fun, the building is also really cool. After you play it once or twice and wish to try mods, you can transfer the world save to your pc through the pc game pass app, but I'm not sure if you'll have to put it on steam to use mods or not. #valheim-help message here's how to move it over, if you decide to.

[haughty hinge]

I think you stuck a bit on the fact that those first ones both are snapped in the center, which is correct, but the difference between those two is their initial width. Did you manage to confirm at least any of those first numbers? Or both of them don't make sense to you? I'll have some work break soon, and i'll try to get the formulas for you

[zenith nimbus]

So, you think that vertical cage + horizontal beam and vertical cage + horizontal cage will have different support value?

[midnight saffron]

Miniboss (Brenna) didn't spawn in the smouldering tomb, what's the entity ID for spawning it?

[vapid warren]

Skeleton_Hildir

[midnight saffron]

ty!

[hard spoke]

what is the easiest way to reduce lag on a dedicated server? (steam dedicated server)

[haughty hinge]

Ok, so distance is 1.3 times different, right? Due to the parental width. We know it.
But i came to the point that a cage and a beam obviously have differently placed 'support points' too, so the angle is different, which leads to different angled losses, the beam's angled loss is also 1.3 times higher than the cage's one.
Wo knowing where the exact 'support points' are it's difficult to figure out the exact angle.

It can be done by using selection method tho

But it will take a lot of time;)

I'm not sure if i want to do this, cuz we already figured out that those formulas do work

[haughty hinge]

And the answer to this is also 'yes' but it still needs to be calculated

Do i regret wasting 1 h of my time on this?

Kinda

[zenith nimbus]

formula: 1500*(1-(sqrt(2)+0.1)/13) = 1325.2830505
beam on cage: 1325.278320
cage on cage: 1325.280640
So, it hard to call it's different.

[haughty hinge]

They can be pretty much similar in the end, after all the calculations, but obviously there's difference.

The same as with placing one 2m beam on top of one 2m beam and placing 2 1m beams on top of one 2m beam. The final result is almost similar

The difference is less than 1%

[visual radish]

Because of the fudging factor being applied twice with 2 1m beams compared to being applied once with 1 2m beam.

[zenith nimbus]

About +0.1, it's not so simple. With different loss factor we'll get different results. In some cases 2x1m better than 1x2m, in other cases no

[haughty hinge]

Idk what we are talking about, the distance is different from the start, it affects the final support, so do support points, which can be in snapping points but can be somewhere else. Simple as that

[zenith nimbus]

For vertical only all of them: beam on beam, cage on beam, beam on cage, cage on cage, all of them have: 1257.692261 with zero difference.
By formula: 1257.69230769

[haughty hinge]

Because both the distance and the angled loss are subtracted from 1 at some point the difference often won't be that huge

[rotund gale]

odd question, I've had a server since 2019
We've completed all the content up til now. All trophies submitted.
By the stones, goblins and seekers are spawning regularly. What gives?

Can I fix this? All these mobs are out of place and wrecking my new players

[buoyant peak]

By using the resetkeys devcommand

[keen glacier]

This is a feature, not a bug. Once you've defeated Yag, fulings will spawn at night in the meadows. Similiarly, once you've defeated the Queen, ticks and seekers will spawn in the meadows at night as well

I think its a bad feature though, for the reason that you've mentioned

[rotund gale]

That's horrible D: ; - ;
Does the resetkeys issue any rollbacks or is it safe to execute with a long history of buildings

[buoyant peak]

It doesn't change the world, just the world keys that enables those spawns (along with the raids)

[rotund gale]

❤️ ty, we have a viking night hosted tonight in vanilla/unmodded 7pm pst.
This will help our new players from getting smoked at the stones.
I have a LFG posted under "The Odin Games"
We have a nearly full roster for tonight's hosting in case anyone is interested ❤️
ASHLANDS HYPE

Oh what's the difference between Resetworldkeys and resetkeys

[zenith nimbus]

vertical beam + horizontal beam: 1325.278320
vertical cage + horizontal beam: 1325.278320
vertical cage + horizontal cage: 1325.280640
vertical beam + horizontal cage: 1325.280640
So, we could see difference, and it's looks mb significant. Because 1500 * 0.3 = 450.000030518
But, we have one funny moment, I'll rotated in 45* both cages in same direction and got
vertical cage + horizontal cage: 1325.278320

Many sequence calculations with errors could get significant difference, so it's hard to say anything about it.

[subtle parrot]

I feel like this is more of a discussion for #building-discussion

[young merlin]

can anyone tell me how to find burial chambers faster/better?

[haughty hinge]

That is what i'm talking about. So formulas do work and that's the main outcome. You can be satisfied now. And calculate smth completely different now;)

[zenith nimbus]

I still don't have formulas which could get +- correct results

Correctly to say: I have formulas, but don't have COM and nearest point information

ofc, formulas without data useless

[humble river]

Guys do better axes cut trees faster?

[subtle parrot]

#valheim-help message

[humble river]

Like going from iron to dark iron

[zenith nimbus]

Yes, because they deal more damage

[haughty hinge]

You do have them. The question is only with the angle (because of the support points) sometimes and the way how it is calculated, i mean rounding and stuff

[zenith nimbus]

If you have coordinates for center and support point then you could write them and I'll just run code with calculation from the game.

[haughty hinge]

Come on, at this point i'm definitely out. I found what i was looking for. From now on everybody is on his own 🫡

[zenith nimbus]

You found answer which have significant change to be incorrect.

[haughty hinge]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't

[zenith nimbus]

So, what about this?

Probably instead of continuing the discussion, I need to find a way to get the coordinates. Then everything will fall into place.

[haughty hinge]

I don't see any (any significant) problem here. Yes, once you know the exact coordinates each time, i'm 100% sure this problem will stop bothering you. It stopped bothering me even earlier.

[frail cave]

when was that world created

[uncut helm]

it was created absolutely ages ago, but i only went to mistlands during latest update

[frail cave]

yea, looks pre-mistlands. the site should take that into account though if you upload the world files to it (gotta highlight both the .db and the .fwl iirc)

[uncut helm]

yeah i guess i'll try it again

yeah thats it

[thick shuttle]

Yo, so I just redownloaded the game and everytime I try and load one of my maps after choosing my character and map, I get a popup that says the game isn't responding and tells me to end process. I've tried restarting my computer and redownloading the game several times over a few days. Nothing has worked. Anyone know any possible solutions

[frail cave]

it's running genloc, which may freeze the game for a while but won't actually crash it, that's just windows getting impatient if you send inputs while it's frozen. the solution is to do nothing and wait it out

[thick shuttle]

oh ok

thanks

[pearl mortar]

i had this happen to me too, had to let the program wait to respond. it just took a while but then the loadtimes seemed to go back to normal

[drifting grove]

greetings! Is there a guide on how to customize my world and transfer it to the nitrado server?

[safe glacier]

So if elder is weak to fire, why do I need 200 fire arrows and 2 bows to kill him? I've ran out of resources again and have had to sail back home for the second time now. Literally had my firewood bow crap out on me while he still had more than 30% hp

[vapid warren]

i used like 50 fire arrows to kill him

if even that

[safe glacier]

Amazing. I don't use cheats

[fading star]

yeah I had no issue with my bow breaking, but also did go in with a few sword attacks

[safe glacier]

Idk man. I had 150 arrows, now I have 30. I had to go home

[vapid warren]

are you using mods or do you have world modifiers enabled?

[safe glacier]

No mods

[stoic trench]

What percentage of shots are you landing?

[safe glacier]

Then I died and by the time I got back he was back to 70% hp

Dwarves everywhere during the fight. And had a troll decide to join the party ontop of it. Most chaotic 20 mins I've had in game

I miss an arrow every so often but I don't think I missed even 10 that whole fight

[stoic trench]

What kind of bow(s) are you using and what level are they?

[safe glacier]

Level 1 fine wood

[stoic trench]

Honestly I have a much easier time using melee against elder.

[safe glacier]

It's the second boss and I'm on like day 60. Shouldn't have to go in with maxed out gear to kill the second boss right?

[stoic trench]

Maybe try juicing up that bow a bit.

[safe glacier]

Obviously increasing my weapon power will do something positive but that seems excessive

[vapid warren]

you need to clear out the area before starting boss fights

trolls and greydwarves dont spawn as part of the figght

[safe glacier]

Honestly I thought I had. Idk where the fuck those things are all coming from but they swarm the area

Almost like he's summoning them

[fading star]

I had two trolls come around in my most recent playthrough, but I definitely didn't check the area at all 😂

[safe glacier]

And then the troll. My first time trying him there were no trolls even in the area. They seem to be getting more common

Regardless of any of that, every arrow was doing slivers of damage to him. I was expecting a lot more considering

[stoic trench]

Personally, I never take on a boss without fully maxed gear, but that’s just me. Have you made meads?

[vapid warren]

its the fire debuff that does damage to him, not the initial damage

ah yeah, have you made cauldron, grown carrots, etc?

[safe glacier]

No

He burns for like 2 seconds and I can barely see ticks doing anything to him

But I only recently got everything I need to make a smelter and all that. Made a bronze axe but nothing else yet

[vapid warren]

oh yeah

you need to get back and make all of that stuff

[stoic trench]

Definitely do that then, make a fermenter too. Build up your base a bit, remember to always utilize the rested buff (comfort) as well.

[vapid warren]

there's so much stuff you're missing out on

portals, better food, meads(potions), etc

you must even be using the raft, right?

[stoic trench]

The Elder is far tougher comparatively than Eikthyr. From this point on, bosses are pretty darn tough.

[fading star]

Yeah, base building is part of your overall progression

[vapid warren]

youre definitely not gonna get much further in the next biome before you do any of that

[safe glacier]

I can make portals but I don't have enough cores

But yea I been wondering about better food. I just felt like I've gone too long without progressing

[vapid warren]

Sounds like youve not been doing enough dungeons

I wouldnt advice rushing the game on your first playthrough

Its just gonna make it harder

[stoic trench]

Start with carrots, comb through the crafting menu and check out all the new stuff. It might seem trivial, but a lot of them are essential- such as the cauldron.

[safe glacier]

I've done like 2 dungeons. I dread doing those

Easy to get overwhelmed. And my shield doesn't really "block" arrows. I still take damage

[stoic trench]

If you have the kiln and smelter, then I would consider doing some mining.

Bronze buckler will help with arrows

Oh, and don’t ignore the work station upgrades, those are essential

[safe glacier]

Yea mine is level 3 currently

[vapid warren]

Workbench or forge? Cause workbench is level 3 in meadows

[safe glacier]

What do u mean it's level 3 in meadows?

It starts off 1 and I had to upgrade it to 3

[fathom badge]

You can get it to level 3 with just Meadows materials, you don't need anything from the Black Forest

[safe glacier]

Yea I haven't really done much in black forest

Killed a few trolls, mined a trip worth of copper and tin, did a few dungeons, and got my ass handed to me by elder a few times. Bout it

[fathom badge]

Yeah, you should make a cultivator next, a cauldron, upgrade your forge, make some troll armor, etc.

[safe glacier]

I have troll armor. Was going to make a cultivator next

[vapid warren]

Planting 1 carrot seed gives you 1 carrot, then planting 1 carrot gives you 3 carrot seeds. Multiply them for a while before using them is my advice

[safe glacier]

Makes sense

What do I do with carrots?

[fading star]

You'll get recipes unlocked once you harvest some

[safe glacier]

Food obviously but is there any special?

Oh I see. But I need a cauldron?

[vapid warren]

Its used in 3 food recipies in black forest iirc

Yeah you need cauldron, thats how you make any food thats worthwhile

[safe glacier]

Ok

Guess I'm behind on the times. But I'm new to survival and trying not to look up guides or ask for help much

Elder whooped my ass so hard I had to

[midnight copper]

i have a question ive been trying to play valheim but everytime i launch the game in either vulkun or regular it just black screens and doesnt launch anyone know what to do or how to fix it?

[marble roost]

best I can say is verify game files on steam or reinstall game

[midnight copper]

ive tried both of these and even installed them onto different drives to see if that would fix it

[marble roost]

Yea I had a feeling it woulda been your first step. Sadly I don't know how else to fix it 😔

Good luck tho!

[midnight copper]

nah its alr im guessing it has something to do with unity being weird apreciate the help tho

[safe glacier]

Gpu driver update?

[midnight copper]

nope the first thing i checked i even reinstalled my drivers to see if that would fix it

[vapid warren]

When youre loading into the world or launching the game itself?

[midnight copper]

the game itself

[safe glacier]

I thought physics was a universally applied constant in this game

[keen glacier]

you thought wrong, my friend!

[stoic ledge]

wait guys is there any way I can build a stone structure on wood

[safe glacier]

Is there any point to killing trolls after achieving a full troll armor set?

[wet folio]

Found this small out post in the middle of the ocean the only drvagser or whatever they call got lead away into the swamp where i cant even see them you think its save for me to break the ward?

Oh nvm the guy got killed in the swamp

[atomic magnet]

steam is advertising valheim as on sale this weekend. I would love to pick up a non-steam version. Does anyone know if that is available? In the US... found it for sale in BPS

[real nebula]

The only non-Steam version of Valheim is the Xbox version

I would not trust third party sellers that say otherwise

[atomic magnet]

Thank you 🙂

[oblique hawk]

It's still connected, the hitbox is bigger than the visible bits.

[hollow wyvern]

where can i see the commands to put into the .bat file? Like -modifier
I forget the names of them all and would like to mess with them

Also I looked in the pinned message, it didn't have what I was looking for

[safe glacier]

Is there a mod that would allow for making "presets" for crafting? Like, I typically make a work bench anywhere I'm going to settle down at for a little while and it's kind of a pain in the ass having to make the bench, the walls, roof etc when I could just have a preset for it saved and just plop down a complete structure.

[warm birch]

So I'm on linux and my friend got me the game so we could play together. At first, the game would only launch to the logos and then a black screen with the sword cursor, whether I was on native or proton. I updated my system and then restarted my pc and now native doesn't launch at all, but proton seems to be working fine.

[midnight copper]

i have a similar problem my screen just fades to black and wont play

[mystic solar]

I believe there is a building mod offering blueprints, but dunno the name as I've never used it.
Btw general hint - craft everything you can from the crafting tab in a given biome, and getting better food is a very important part of the progression.

[keen glacier]

Plan Build Mod

[vapid warren]

In the future go ask in #mods-discussion

[subtle parrot]

Their trophies, you can make fishing bait from them or hang them as decoration on item stands

[stoic trench]

There’s also a couple objects that require troll hide, wouldn’t hurt to keep some around.

[frail cave]

is it worth to go for lox meat pie?

[stoic trench]

Absolutely, it’s saved me quite a few times.

And once you get barely going, it’s a pretty easy food to make.

[fresh veldt]

It looks very good on some tables

Definitely a food I'd want to eat irl so that means it's good

[haughty hinge]

ty, that is the piece of logic that i know will fs give me a mild migraine attack later today;)

[fresh veldt]

Whuh

[haughty hinge]

does you wanting eat this irl makes it good in game or irl? If irl than wth, idk you've built this logic bridge, i'm afraid of stepping on

[fresh veldt]

It's not that deep!!
But I do be drolling over lox meat pie. That was the main point.

[past dawn]

We've found an immortal neck

[willow raft]

Build it a shrine and make it your god!
Restarting the game might solve it if you don't want an immortal neck.

[past dawn]

Perfect training dummy innit

[willow raft]

Isn't it just a headache from trying to wrap your head around the logic?
To solve it get yourself a drink that feels like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.

[safe glacier]

Yea it's starting to seem like bosses should be a last resort activity. When everything else is done, go do that. I managed to get everything made last night and only need to get some more copper to make some weapons now. Not to mention forage for a lot more food cuz those "meals" available in the cauldron are crazy expensive to make. Like 12 berries to make 4 meals and shit. Crazy

I have a ton of berry bushes around my house too but they take forever to bear fruit after being picked. Seems I should be able to farm those somehow

[safe glacier]

Good to know. Is it worth trying to upgrade the troll armor? Seems like the kind of thing that will eventually get outmoded

[subtle parrot]

It's the only gear witha sneak bonus, but it is weak for armor stats.

[oblique hawk]

Berry bushes are generally quite common and take ten days to grow new berries.
The bosses are meant to be the end point of a biome, killing them unlocks progression in the next biome.

[valid loom]

hi there guys

[safe glacier]

10 days is quite a long time. I always feel like I'm searching for berries. But I farm boars so I'm always trashing berries into their pen

[haughty hinge]

..or just quit this harmful habit of thinking

[valid loom]

how can i transport my pigs

just on the ground not sea

[oblique hawk]

Not long at all imo. Just mark them on your map, a quick gathering trip should easily net you a couple of stacks.
Better to feed the boars stuff you can farm if you don't have an excess of berries or mushrooms.

[safe glacier]

I can't even get my pigs to follow me. My understanding is they simply won't follow you once tamed.

[valid loom]

😐

[oblique hawk]

Push them, harpoon them or lure them with food.
There's no easy way of transporting boars once tamed, unfortunately.

[valid loom]

then it's barbecue time

🗿🍻👍

[safe glacier]

Harpoon??

Won't that kill em?

[valid loom]

not work

[safe glacier]

Accidentally killed one of my parent boars last night while trying to cull the herd. I had forgotten how much of a pain in the ass it is to get a wild boar to chase you into a pen.

But, my housing situation is "special". Only a small access point into or off the property and surrounded by cliffs. He kept falling off

[oblique hawk]

Well if you have two or more you don't need to tame more.

[valid loom]

oh

[safe glacier]

Yea I had 1 after my spear skewered dad along with one of the kids

That's a lot of smelting

[oblique hawk]

Allright. "Culling the herd" made it sound like you had more than 2 boars left.

[safe glacier]

No I had like 6 or something so I killed everything except the parents, as was normal up to that point. I just got careless with my application of the spear

[valid loom]

They killed all the pigs

[safe glacier]

Alt f4'd to try to fix it. Nope. Game said "fk u"

[oblique hawk]

Just load an older save.

[safe glacier]

Highly suggest digging a trench around your property

I have to do a running jump to get into my property. But so far none of the forest raids have made it into my land

[valid loom]

I was going to move the base anyway

[safe glacier]

They just pool up in one spot in the little moat and I rain arrows on em lol

[subtle parrot]

You have to use a butcher knife to kill tames, any other weapon will not do any damage to tames

[safe glacier]

You can use any weapon to kill a tamed boar

Have to enable pvp mode

Which beats having to spend resources on a special knife to do the job lol

[subtle parrot]

Ah, I guess that makes sense

[willow raft]

Yeah sometimes thinking is overrated.

[zenith nimbus]

Killing tamed lox with regular weapon, haha

[safe glacier]

Lox?

[subtle parrot]

5th biome creature

[safe glacier]

Ah. Haven't made it there.

Would it still not work the same?

[buoyant peak]

Butcher knife is a lot more efficient than other weapons. And you also don't need to turn the friendly fire on to do it

[subtle parrot]

☝️

[safe glacier]

I suppose maybe late game stuff. But I 1 tap boars and that's all I'm farming currently. Can't get more efficient than that lol

[haughty hinge]

Now i wonder who rates thinking.. those who think a lot, so they overrate it by thinking, or those who don't think, so they just overrate with quantity🤔

[real nebula]

Don't you only need like a few pieces of tin for the butcher knife too

[subtle parrot]

It is fun to do like 6-800 damage to a boar though lol it's hilarious

[real nebula]

It's super not expensive at all

[oblique hawk]

10 tin iirc.

[safe glacier]

5 tin would be too much

[oblique hawk]

And it does 1k damage.

[safe glacier]

Currently

[subtle parrot]

Only 4 lol

[oblique hawk]

5 tin is nothing, one deposit is 3-4.

[safe glacier]

I'm just not at the stage of my development where I can blow resources on anything but crucial items. Like I want a new weapon but I've had to make a ton of other shit first and I'm still considering whether or not I should invest lol

[subtle parrot]

Invest time for mining

[safe glacier]

I spent like an hour and a half blowing out a copper node yesterday. Had like 900lbs of ore in a chest waiting

I probably still have like 200+ lbs I need to go make a trip to get

[stoic trench]

Tin is easy to get, fairly light, and pretty easy to find- 4 tin isn’t too much of a sacrifice 🙂

[safe glacier]

Light he says.

Lighter than copper but still pretty heavy

[oblique hawk]

Well it's not dark. :p

[stoic trench]

(Compared to every other metal)

[valid loom]

tin for animals, steel for fools

[safe glacier]

Haven't unlocked steel yet

[oblique hawk]

Steel isn't a thing. :p

[safe glacier]

Really??

[oblique hawk]

There are other metals, though.

[safe glacier]

Why the hell would they not have steel?

That just seems weird

[valid loom]

I tried to make a reference to Witcher3 😐

[subtle parrot]

Welp, no steel but there is iron later

[haughty hinge]

You can't obtain steel from ore ya know..

[safe glacier]

Can't obtain bronze that way either

Put that smelter to work

[stoic trench]

Although Damascus Steel would be really cool!… doesn’t really fit in the game though 😅

[haughty hinge]

Yea, but still steel is a more complicated alloy

[buoyant peak]

For what?

[subtle parrot]

#wherecorundum? Lol

[safe glacier]

Everything? It's the epitome of tool metal

[real nebula]

Some late game iron gear might as well be steel tbh

Doesn't make much of a difference

[safe glacier]

I just would have figured iron would be a sub product to steel. Not as good and requiring a little more to make steel. Much like bronze

Iron is heavy. And brittle.

[buoyant peak]

Vikings didn't use that much steel.

[safe glacier]

I mean...

Whether historically perfect or not I figured some decisions were made in the interest of this being a game. Not exactly historically accurate to begin with lol

[buoyant peak]

Where would you put steel? What purpose would it have?

Adding something for the sake of adding it is just bloating

[safe glacier]

So what is the top grade of weapon component? Iron?

[subtle parrot]

No

It is the most used though

[real nebula]

There's plenty more metals after iron, and they're fairly fantastic in application~

[safe glacier]

It would have better stats than iron. As it should. Anything with a blade could and should be steel, not iron. Axes, hammers maces etc don't need steel. Blades do.

[zenith nimbus]

And magic)

[crystal matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/magic-gif-26166638

[safe glacier]

Magic.

[buoyant peak]

And where would you put it?

[subtle parrot]

In a chest

[willow raft]

Vikings had steel weapons but weren't as common, no?

[zenith nimbus]

Stone < bronze < iron < ||silver|| < ||black metal|| < ||eitr and caparace||

[safe glacier]

Not sure I understand the question

[buoyant peak]

I can understand wanting it bc is not like the game is perfectly historical (like the fact that silver is used to craft weapons)

But where exactly would it be in terms of progression? At swamps or after?

[safe glacier]

Would be wherever iron is I imagine

[crystal matrix]

In crypts?

[safe glacier]

Steel is just a more refined version of iron

I'd think mountains if anything

[buoyant peak]

And what should they do with all the iron gear we have? Just suddenly remove it from the game bc they decided to replace it completely with steel?

[subtle parrot]

Nah just add a new component to the recipe and change the names

[safe glacier]

I'm not suggesting they add it. I'm just shocked it wasn't implemented to begin with

[haughty hinge]

One does not simply remove existing weapons..

[safe glacier]

From what I'm gathering here, we have some sort of "magic" material to craft with.

But not... Steel..

[buoyant peak]

I mean... I could see them adding them as a completely separate line of gear for a late biome but putting them at the same tier as iron?

[safe glacier]

So what material is the best sword made with?

[zenith nimbus]

Wisps)

[subtle parrot]

Technically, iron lol

But it has more to it than just iron

[buoyant peak]

Iron and refined eitr

[willow raft]

Metal.

[fathom badge]

Magic iron

[oblique hawk]

I reckon the best sword will be made with whatever material we get to make weapons from in the Deep North.

[zenith nimbus]

Ofc, but how many years it'll be...

[willow raft]

About 1 probably after ashlands is done.

[zenith nimbus]

At least 2

[safe glacier]

Almost forgot the game is still early access

[subtle parrot]

1.5

[buoyant peak]

Seems like the issue here is you're thinking it doesn't make sense to not have steel bc the game should be slightly more "realistic".

Try to get some suspension of disbelief

[lilac coyote]

I'd imagine some time next year.

[zenith nimbus]

End of next year

[lilac coyote]

Depends on what they do between Ashlands and Deep North.

[fathom badge]

That, and the graphics clearly show the iron being used to make steel-like products. Steel is just iron with some carbon in it. Iron is just still the raw material 😉

[willow raft]

Vikings accidentally made some steel be trying to honor their forefathers and using their bones during the process of making iron weapons.

[safe glacier]

The game clearly tries to cling to realism and logical progression of the ages of industry for mankind. Steel has always been and likely will always be the best metal for any kind of tool. Iron only being used when raw durability and weight is preferable over anything else.

[lilac coyote]

It does?

So the next tier after iron weapons in the real world was silver?

And then blackmetal? Whatever that is.

[fathom badge]

I think in general Valheim has tried to stay in the orbit of Viking technologies and mythology more than be a Civilization-style tech tree.

[willow raft]

Eventually we get ||Eitr which is a magical component||.

[zenith nimbus]

Top tier weapon against evil spirits)

[safe glacier]

Witcher logic

It is what it is. I'm not suggesting it be changed, I merely stated I was shocked to learn of it. Seemed the most logical step.

Silver though.. I mean if that exists outside of wall decoration in game, holy shit

[lilac coyote]

It's the next weapon/armour tier after iron. I suggest you play the game.

[safe glacier]

I am playing it. Obviously.

[lilac coyote]

Well, you're complaining about a lack of something without knowing what we already have.

[zenith nimbus]

Yea, silver sword...

[lilac coyote]

Sword, knife, shield, spear, arrows etc.

[safe glacier]

Nobody is complaining about anything.

[lilac coyote]

Then I don't understand the last half an hour.

[safe glacier]

We're having a discussion. You know, talking?

[buoyant peak]

It is to some degree, but definitely will never try to be even 50% as realistic

[safe glacier]

Sounds like you're irritated about something being discussed. In which case you may want to remove yourself from the conversation

[lilac coyote]

No, discussions are fine. Although maybe not in the help channel.

[weary crag]

guys is there a way to remove all the items that are on the ground since the start of the server cuz i feel like my fps is starting to fall off bcs of it

[lilac coyote]

Items despawn after a few in-game days unless within range of a base so there probably aren't that many.

[haughty hinge]

Just move your workbench away from them and they will soon unload, or don't store them in tar

[oblique hawk]

Chests are also a thing.

[weary crag]

sometimes theres way too many thing hahaha

[weary crag]

thanks mate imma wait them idk

[lilac coyote]

Then just throw them away or obliterate them.

[weary crag]

oke thanks guys cheers

[stoic trench]

How many items are you dealing with roughly?

[haughty hinge]

Not that soon tho

[stoic trench]

Could make a little 4mx6m storage building with 6-8 chests in it if it’s a matter of storage 🙂

[weary crag]

the best i can explain is black forest.

[haughty hinge]

Black forest of items?

[lilac coyote]

That's not really a number. Unless you've filled the whole biome.

[haughty hinge]

Make it plains then

[stoic trench]

Hmm so are you saying there’s a lot of greydwarf drops lingering around? If that’s the case, definitely collect and store and much of those goods as possible, it’s consistently useful.

[weary crag]

it was night as i was transporting my iron and there was too many skeletons and woods and like before that there was a lot of items too

[weary crag]

i believe that BUT im lazy ash to store all of that hahaha

[stoic trench]

It might be a different issue then that’s affecting your FPS, it would have to be an extremely high number of skeleton drops to start causing issues in most cases.

Greydwarf eyes are good for portals, better save up now 😉

[keen zodiac]

Hello, as we all know that "Odin" randomly pops up at places in game and disappears upon reaching near him. But does he stay standing there forever if we don't go near him?

[elder pulsar]

Guys, want to hear a "RIP" moment?

[stoic trench]

Nope, he despawns eventually

[keen zodiac]

oh

[elder pulsar]

My first world where I started playing contained Maypole at the start and I unknowingly destroyed it because I thought I will get recipe to build one

[keen zodiac]

I think I figured out something else.

He stays there if we keep standing at our position. He only despawns if we go near him or far from him

It's like a circle'e perimeter in between which we have to stay to keep him there

[stoic trench]

Well, he despawns after some amount of time passes 😅 I just don’t know how long off the top of my head.

[lilac coyote]

You will when it's midsummer again.

[subtle parrot]

First time i saw him i shot him with my bow and he poofed away, i thought he was a spawm from the swamps

[keen zodiac]

I tried that, but in my case he seemed like invincible

I tried fire arrow and obsidian arrows

[subtle parrot]

I likely got him as he was dissappearing

[keen zodiac]

Arrows were fired by a Draugr Fang Bow

[keen zodiac]

probably

[weary crag]

so guys this is my setup so far and my friend basically has the same things so i wanted to ask what would u recommend me to do and prepare now for the 3rd boss (i have poison resistances)

[solid gull]

i would upgrade the mace

[subtle parrot]

Collect carrots from the BF and make better food

[real nebula]

Also turnips from the swamps

[weary crag]

to what star?

[solid gull]

2 or 3

[real nebula]

You're missing out on the best swamp-tier foodstuffs, and that's arguably more important than other gear

[weary crag]

i have around 100-150 carrots and a few deer stew ready for the boss

[stoic trench]

Honestly, max it out- it’ll help for the next biome as well.

[real nebula]

Then turnips

[weary crag]

ye im not that good with food i just rock whatever i have and play elden ring hahahah

[real nebula]

Food is extremely important in Valheim

[stoic trench]

Can’t stress food enough, you gotta have the best food if you want the best performance.

[dry valve]

hi

[weary crag]

ye BUT elden ring B)

[real nebula]

Point stands~

[weary crag]

real oke how do i make swamp food ?

i didnt get any recepties

[sleek herald]

Cultivator + seeds + cookpot

[stoic trench]

Start with finding turnips! Then build a slice rack after you’ve grown some turnips. ||ye Tarnished||

[sleek herald]

Turnip seeds are yellow looking flowers

[weary crag]

dont have it unlocked i think

[real nebula]

Find turnip seeds, should be yellow flowers in the swamps, might be hard to spot at first. Once you plant them and harvest turnips, you'll be able to build a cauldron upgrade that'll unlock more recipes.

[weary crag]

OPMG I HAD 3 TURNIP AND TROLL DESTORYED IT IN MY BASE

[stoic trench]

Bummer 😅

[weary crag]

should i upgrade my shield for the boss?

[sleek herald]

ye you do seem pretty close to the black forest....plant with your base in between that place and the farm

[solid gull]

i would not. a buckler are more for parrying

[sleek herald]

Walls can take some punishment - seedlings cant

(One's also easier to rebuild)

3rd boss will still poison if you parry

And it ain't gentle even with the mead

[weary crag]

wait dont tell me im stupid so the other iron shield with wood is better for parrying????

[solid gull]

no buckler are better for parrying

but blocking and mobility is the banded shield

[weary crag]

i have the potions too, and i have a farm in our main base soo

[weary crag]

ohh ok ok i have that one just in case idk xd

[sleek herald]

I'd reccomend replacing your troll helmet with a root mask

[weary crag]

ohhh right i wanted to make that too is it good?

[sleek herald]

The poison resistance won't help more than the mead I don't think, but for the armor increase sure

Root harnesk pierce resistance is also VERY useful even into late game

[weary crag]

oke oke thanks a lot

why does lvl 3 mace doesnt one shot the basic wood mob 😭

[oblique hawk]

Wood mob?

[weary crag]

the G things first one that only drops resin idk xd

[sleek herald]

greydwarfs

Mace is good for swamps

Blobs, Oozers, skeletons, all weak to blunt

[keen glacier]

I think you should really upgrade your food for the fight, and don't forget to get some potions (especially poison resist) ready! Personally, I think the balanced food (boar jerky) is no good, as the total stat increase is a bit low compared to health or stamina food. You might want to consider making some sausages, deer stew, and turnip soup. Looks like you could also stand to upgrade your cape and helmet a bit. If you're lacking troll hide, don't be afraid to just make a deer cape. Its just as good, and so much cheaper to craft/upgrade than the trollhide

[subtle parrot]

They're weak to chop and fire, well fire for sure.. if I'm not mistaken a level 2-3 bronze axe should take care of basic greydwarfs in one swing though

[keen glacier]

You'll need to upgrade your cauldron to level 2. Once you have turnips, you can build the spice rack upgrade (mushrooms, turnips, dandelions, carrots, and thistle)

[keen glacier]

Poison Resist potion is better than the root mask. The Root Mask gives you 50% resistance to poison, while the potion gives you 75%. They do not stack, so if you have the potion, it is enough. It might be better to spend any root you have building and upgrading the Root Chest piece, which will be invaluable in Swamp, Plains, and even Mistlands (not so good in mountains, unfortunately)

[weary crag]

DAMNNN THANK YOU MAN IMMA SS ALL OF THIS HAHAHA <3

[stoic trench]

I think he’s talking about greylings, the little guys in the meadows.

[weary crag]

oke so i had the biggest bug that coudlve happened... my friend died and me died (its my server) and as we were going for the loot the game crushed and the same of 20 mins was deleted. My loot was on the spot long before that but my friends loot dissapeared into the earth.. is there a way to just go into creative like in minecraft or sm shit and get the things he had back ? this might be the reason we stop playing i swear

[real nebula]

He can enter a singleplayer world by himself with the same character and use devcommands to spawn his items back.

[weary crag]

whhats the dev command ?

[real nebula]

Wiki should have the info

[weary crag]

okee thanks

[oblique hawk]

#valheim-help message explains how they work.

[weary crag]

cheers cheers will need that after spending 50h on the poor items we already had hahah

[keen glacier]

1. make sure you have "-console" set as a launch option for Valheim (in steam, right click valheim, select properties, add "-console" at the bottom under launch options. ;
2. load the game, then press "f5" to open the console
3. type "spawn ArmorIronLeggings 1 3" to spawn a one level 3 iron leggings.
   3a) "spawn ArmorIronChest 1 3"; "spawn CapeTrollhide 1 3"; "spawn MaceIron 1 1"; etc.

[weary crag]

man do i love u

[keen glacier]

don't worry, I love you too

[weary crag]

saving my life from 10 mins videos

[keen glacier]

haha, yeah I feel that xD

[real nebula]

Help with modded servers goes in #mods-issues

[wary zealot]

when will valheim on xbox fully release?

[real nebula]

Same as PC version, presumably?

[lilac coyote]

Always the Wiki.. https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Items_List

[stark token]

Ok I saw someone was having a problem with this yesterday and figured it would continue to be a problem for everyone else with a solution but clearly it isn't.

valheim is just not starting. Like at all. it fires up then just stops starting

[lilac coyote]

Tried verifying files? Removing any old mods?

[stark token]

I press play, it takes me to launch options, then a window with the logo will pop up and go away a half second later with the program not starting

[lilac coyote]

Is your PC up to spec?

[stark token]

Verified the files twice, reinstalled it 3 times. I've beaten the game once before so up to spec, and I'm not launching it through vortex so mods shouldn't be a problem

[lilac coyote]

If you have mods it could still be them. Especially if you were using Vortex

[stark token]

alright I'll go into there and delete them

ok new problem, I went into vortex, had it take me to the mod location in files and deleted them manually (seems that was a mistake), but vortex still thinks I have 3 mods installed and won't let me stop managing the game through vortex because "purge failed"

no clue what this means but I now have no mods, and the game still will not start

works on my steamdeck though which I suppose shows that its the problem of the mods

[deft gazelle]

If you defeat a mini boss in one of the dungeons, do they not spawn at the other locations?

[real nebula]

Pins in this channel for how to cleanly remove mods, otherwise #mods-issues is the place to ask

[dreamy hearth]

Check the Bepinex install as well. Most of the problems I had with starting the game were because of that one.

[fair wharf]

Best way to remove mods? Don't install them in the first place! lol. I know, I know, wet blanket ... etc. 😄

[lilac coyote]

It's certainly not helpful.

[true steeple]

This isnt removing mods if theres no mods to remove?

[jaunty wagon]

I am having a problem getting into a friend's crossplay server, I'm on Xbox, he's on SteamDeck. If he enables crossplay it doesn't let his other friend on the deck join, and neither can I.

[true steeple]

Is he playing the linux version or the windows version (with proton)?

When I use the linux version multiplayer doesnt work, and even on windows there’s connection issues when the steam deck is hosting

[jaunty wagon]

Well, that blows balls.

[jaunty wagon]

Thank you for your insight.

[storm jackal]

Just curious do any other Xbox X players experience after a fight with Golom and bigger creatures that you cannot auto pick up I litterally have to log out and back in to get it working I don't know if this is a known issue or not

[vocal badge]

||do u do anything with the ashland metal rn. Can u like craft the flaming sword or is that available only through commands||

[lilac coyote]

Not until Ashlands is released, no.

[subtle parrot]

It's most likely the key binds, block + sprint turns off auto pick up, just hit that button combo again to turn it back on. I used to have this problem allthe time too

[green mica]

do you need crossplay enabled to play valheim with a steam user and an xbox app user?

[vapid warren]

yes

[safe glacier]

Is there a logic to where swamps are? I've sailed a pretty good line and found several plains and mountains areas but no swamps

Someone really needs to warn players about the mosquitos man. That was almost tragic

[keen glacier]

Yeah swamps start spawning at like... idk, I think 2000m from spawn? If you've made it to plains, just start sailing a perimeter circle from there and you should stumble across some big swamp patches. They can technically spawn even closer than Elder, sometimes

[halcyon crag]

maybe slightly out of date but this should give you a clearer idea

[safe glacier]

So I should be able to see them from the water? Not localized to inland areas?

[keen glacier]

correct - they actually have a tendency to spawn on coasts more often than not

[halcyon crag]

totally random roughly within the orange circle

[safe glacier]

Ok

[halcyon crag]

thin looking ones as they appear on the map probably won't have crypts to raid for iron however they may have turnips if you didn't find them yet

[frail cave]

(on post-mistlands worlds, the outer limit of swamps is 6 km, rather than 7.5 km)

[halcyon crag]

do you have an up to date graphic by chance?

[frail cave]

nope, still haven't figured out how to make one as polished as that myself 😅

[halcyon crag]

aw, fair

[frail cave]

graphically at least.
when it comes to clean shapes, i'm not good at using any kind of image editing software

[halcyon crag]

someone will probably have one when they see this convo xD

[frail cave]

i hope they reach out to me for up-to-date numbers :>

[safe glacier]

Well..... I found swamps... Got out to kill some draugr and wasn't allowed to get back to my boat on the count of snakes. GG.

[frail cave]

or the dataminers for potentially more correct ones

[halcyon crag]

forgot yr poison resist potions?

[safe glacier]

No I just got chunked. Havent needed any poison resist yet. Don't even think I have a recipe.

I found a poison skeleton once. Went down easy

[halcyon crag]

it helps a ton with the micro damage

you need a fermenter to make them

[safe glacier]

But I intentionally went out with very little equipment just exploring. Worst thing I lost was my boat

[halcyon crag]

can get real real fast there if you go without prep

[safe glacier]

I'm sure. But where do I even get that stuff?

[storm jackal]

I will give it a shot

[halcyon crag]

bronze nails should have unlocked the fermenter recipe in the crafting tab, it looks like a barrel

[safe glacier]

I have the fermenter

I just don't think I saw anything about poison resist

[halcyon crag]

you need to make a mead base for it at the cauldron

[safe glacier]

Right that's what I mean. I made a HP Regen mead. I think I have like 3 others but Iirc it's all HP and stamina

But I may be misremembering

At this point I have a lot to do just setting up shop near a swamp

The one I found is CRAZY far from base

[halcyon crag]

need to have touched honey, thistle, neck tails and coal and the recipe should be unlocked

[safe glacier]

Yea I've got all those

I'll give it a look when I get back. On a mission to get my boat back

[halcyon crag]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Mead_base:_Poison_resistance#:~:text=Mead base%3A Poison resistance is used to create Poison resistance,create 6 Poison resistance mead.

for each base you make, you get 6 pots, all with 10 min timer, so 60 full mins of protection for 1 base, really good value

[safe glacier]

Not bad

Any diminishing values with time like most foods?

[halcyon crag]

nope, you get the full benefit for the full 10 mins, but you do have to watch the timer carefully, as you can't replace one with another until the first one totally wears off

[safe glacier]

I see

[halcyon crag]

exact same thing with frost resist pots, i usually only need 1 batch of each to complete swamp and mountain

[safe glacier]

Define "complete"

[halcyon crag]

get in, get gear to kill the boss, kill the boss

[safe glacier]

Idk anything about swamp but I know mountain there's a lot to do. Taming dogs and whatnot

[halcyon crag]

a lot of it is optional or better left until you have better gear and food to deal with it

[safe glacier]

Hmm. So no laundry list of shit to build?

[halcyon crag]

there's a list but it depends how fast you want to be

[safe glacier]

At this point I'm more worried I'll even find the swamp boss. I got lucky and found a dungeon that had a rune stone with the elders location on it

[halcyon crag]

workbench forge and cauldron upgrades are vital, otherwise it's tools, weapons, armor

and food, and those resist pots

[safe glacier]

It's taken me a lot of hours to get to where I am currently. Not rushing and learning as I go. I can't imagine I'm gonna spend an hour in either biome. Probably more like 20 lol

But I did have some setbacks

[halcyon crag]

if yr taking yr time then go for all the top goods, upgraded armor, frostner, draugr bow

[safe glacier]

Like if I had to do it all over again I'd get the stag hammer and be done with the forest lol

[halcyon crag]

you can faceroll a lot with atgeirs

[safe glacier]

That hammer is bonkers

Zero skill weapon

[halcyon crag]

there's 2 more versions to find so far in game, even more smoothbrain whacking xD

[safe glacier]

Damn

I mean considering the challenges in the dungeons, mostly camera collision and bad field of view, its nice to have

[halcyon crag]

ye the aoe weapons really shine in dungeons

for now at least, i hear that changes are in the wind

[safe glacier]

For?

Dude that weapon has no function beyond AOE clearing dungeons and lulz clapping dwarves into next week.

If they remove that, may as well remove it from the game right? I see no other function for it

[halcyon crag]

seems like balancing, i doubt they remove it totally but the power those hammers have now might not always be that way

or they could make it so the aoe doesn't penetrate past doors somehow

[safe glacier]

I mean, everything in a game is problem solving. Gear, consumables, tools, etc. All pursued to solve specific problems. The hammer solves treacherous dungeons with bad camera physics 🤣

I remember my first time in one. I died quite a bit. Still will if I'm not careful. Especially if there's a summoning pile

[safe glacier]

What... Is that

[fathom badge]

Coal and core generator 😉

[safe glacier]

Ah

Sertlings?

I feel I've heard those aren't to be trifled with

[fathom badge]

Especially with being wet in the swamps they aren't too bad. I'd just put some armor on instead of rolling in naked like you're doing

[safe glacier]

I had to go get my boat lol

Rode like half an hour up there on a raft. Only to end up on the wrong side so I had to run across the whole swamp to get to where my boat was. But I got it 💪

Is it normal for draugr to inhabit meadows? And can I clear them out permanently or are they just going to keep respawning?

[halcyon crag]

in special villages yes, they include a bunch of spawners so you can clear them all or just move on

[safe glacier]

Was considering clearing this place out. Awesome little spot to start building

[halcyon crag]

if you take the spawners fast it's do-able, providing you don't get a bunch of elites and starred to begin with

[safe glacier]

Oh good..

So not something to attempt in the bronze age

[halcyon crag]

you can check it out by looking in the gaps

[safe glacier]

I've killed a few of em but idk about getting swarmed

[halcyon crag]

but probably not

you'd be lucky to clear them all without dying

also the more dangerous ones break the walls down way faster

if they spot you they'll go frenzy

[safe glacier]

Hmm

[halcyon crag]

great place for a build tho i agree

[safe glacier]

Perhaps I'll come back fully loaded. Build a base nearby and throw my corpse at it till it clears

[oblique hawk]

If you pull too many you can run away and use other meadows mobs as shield.

[storm swallow]

how do I find public servers to join??

to play with other players

[visual radish]

#1024264966712340510

[storm swallow]

Thanks!

[safe glacier]

Yea I noticed they ran to attack the necks in the area when I first encountered them there before I found that little town

A warrior and a Bowman wasn't too terrible to deal with even with the shoddy gear I had on me at the time. But I'd be worried about like 4 or more

They're basically just skeletons

Between the draugr, snakes, mosquitos and a few random brushes with some dangerous shallows, I barely made it home in one piece.

[crystal matrix]

You can always do a pitstop in any meadows or blackforest shore, get 10 woods, make a workbench and do a repair

[safe glacier]

Yea but I was worried I'd find some other shit lol at some point I was just like " I need to get home ".

Like before then I had never seen a draugr in meadows.

With my luck id be setting up and get crept up on by a pack of trolls or something

[gloomy edge]

DW, trolls don't come in packs

#mods-discussion

[eager briar]

Ah sorry

[eager briar]

I cant upload picture in there

[gloomy edge]

you could in #mods-issues I think 🤔

[eager briar]

Ok thanks

[zinc crest]

Anyone have the best way to defeat leeches near the swamp? I was trying to sail the perimeter of a land mass and they attacked. Eventually destroyed the raft and killed us. Arrows didn't get them hardly at all.

[mighty ruin]

Unfortunately if you're on a raft, there's not much you can do. I'd just suggest avoiding the swamp alltogehter until you at least have a karve, or if you're feeling brave, try using a Stagbreaker while standing on land near them.

[dusky parcel]

Stay close to water and use secondary on axe...smack em

[zinc crest]

Is a karve that much stronger?

[willow raft]

Mostly faster to outrun them.

[glacial socket]

Not sure where to put this, so I'll put this here.

My wife and I love building in Valheim, every day after work we progress our viking village a bit further. She's running around, I'm using devcommands and flying. What I'd like to ask is: can I give her permission to use devcommands as well? I've added her as admimistrator, but I believe all she can do with it is kick/ban and stuff. Can I add permissions or something?

Thanks in advance 🙂

[real nebula]

Unfortunately, only the server host can use devcommands.

[zinc crest]

Are any of the ships strong enough just be impervious to sea creatures besides the Leviathan?

[fathom badge]

No. No battleships. A longboat is pretty tough though.

[buoyant peak]

There are literally only two sea creatures right now, you could've just said serpents

[zinc crest]

And I assume you can just repair the boat while its being attacked?

[real nebula]

If you have a workbench in range, yes

[candid dawn]

Any trick to get core wood poles clip together as a wall? i can only find clipping points for this

[mighty ruin]

Do a floor first, attach to ends, remove floors?
Otherwise hold shift maybe

[fathom badge]

I don't think so, not vertically at least. Only horizontally do they stack like a wall with snap points.

[weary crag]

what mix of this food would u good people recommend me to farm for (iron era preparing for bosses and i have poison resistance potions)

nvm i just unlocked all this

[stoic trench]

Yeah, I’ve always done manual placement when I use core wood vertically like that.

[lilac perch]

Hey i was wondering something if i summon Moder he does alot of frost damage right? i rn have full wolf armor lvl 1 (With Wolfcape) would it be smart/ usefull to use frost potion?

[fathom badge]

The frost potions don't give you any additional resistance over the armor's inherent resistance, unfortunately

[lilac perch]

yeah i hoped but sadly no 😦 but thanks
