[stoic trench]

… wow, literally fought Moder for the second time last night, guess I wasted a frost mead 😅

[fathom badge]

I'm not sure if Frost Mead works to stave off nighttime chills, though... but yes, after getting the armor there's pretty much no reason to need the potions anymore 😉

[stoic trench]

Frost mead does prevent the cold buff from nighttime, can confirm. I was thinking the potion would give me a little extra defense from Moder, but I guess not 😅

Frost mead is easy enough to make anyways!

[fathom badge]

Good to know. Every now and then I run around without a cold resist cape.

[blazing remnant]

Hello! I currently have a Valheim server and am looking to change hosting providers. I've already done a backup. Are the .fwl and .db files sufficient? I want to ensure I don't accidentally delete the world.

[modest creek]

Hello everyone, can you tell me if there is a chance that the trader will never appear during the entire game?

[lost sandal]

Trader is a guaranteed spawn. But he can be tricky to find sometimes.

[modest creek]

Okay, thanks)

[wide crescent]

is the obliterator damaging stone?

[willow raft]

Yes, either build it on the ground or have iron / copper cage around it.

[wide crescent]

good ol'dirt it is

[fathom badge]

Yes, you should only need the matching .fwl and .db files to back up or restore a world. #dedicated-server has people more knowledgable about server stuff paying attention too, so that is generally the best place to ask about that kind of thing.

[fathom badge]

Black marble as well, I believe

[willow raft]

Could very well be, since it doesn't get damaged by the eitr refinery.

[safe glacier]

I've heard otherwise. That troll raids are common in my current state of the game. Not sure how many are in a raid pack but if it's more than 1, I'd rather not be dealing with that in a makeshift base.

[lilac coyote]

2. There are 2 trolls in a raid.

[safe glacier]

I feel I've seen at least 3 accosting people in their bases on YouTube before. Any idea what was happening there? I mean I've been ambushed by 2 just walking around in the woods

[lilac coyote]

Well, there might have been two from a raid and another random spawn that just happened to wander in at the wrong time.

[safe glacier]

Interesting. Is there a point when they stop raiding? I've never actually been raided by them yet. Been worried my defenses may not hold up to em.

[lilac coyote]

Troll raids are forever as they're not linked to a boss kill.

[safe glacier]

I see.

[lilac coyote]

When I say forever, I mean you can get them throughout the whole game, not that they last forever!

[safe glacier]

Right

I just thought they phased out eventually

[lilac coyote]

No. As I say, the various boss raids are turned on and off based on which boss you've killed, but some that are just based on a mob kill can be forever, though won't appear in all biomes.

[safe glacier]

Hmm. Maybe that's why I haven't seen one. My base is in meadows

I'm assuming the swamp raids are skeletons. Maybe draugr.

[lilac coyote]

Troll raids can happen in Meadows.

[green crystal]

think of it this way: the more noticeable you are to the powers-that-be by mounting their heads, the more they'll send their servants to enact revenge upon your homestead.

[fresh veldt]

They are hanging on my wall

[safe glacier]

Makes sense. I'm worried about what's going to happen when I get to plains raids. I've met 2 creatures from plains so far. The goblins didn't pose much threat but having mosquitoes attacking my base I have no idea how to deal with that. Walls and moats ain't gonna work

[green crystal]

deathsquito raids plz

[lilac coyote]

Well, you'll be better equipped to defeat them by that point.

[lilac coyote]

No thank you.

[green crystal]

Why not? How else will you earn your way out of Valheim?

[safe glacier]

I saw an auto ballista in a video once. But heard that was super endgame

[lilac coyote]

By defeating the Forsaken.

[lilac coyote]

Ballistas are from Mistlands, the 6th biome.

[safe glacier]

Ah

I've got a long way to go.

[green crystal]

Not really. If you can navigate the mists without getting lost you can get to a lot of content super early. Stumbling across the right stuff at the right time can open up a ton of crafting recipes if you're willing to.

[safe glacier]

Without getting lost?

[green crystal]

"This fog is thicker than soup" - my wife, Mistlands, edited down for SFW

[alpine grotto]

Does anyone know a way to remove the "I have arrived" ping.

[fathom badge]

Don't believe it's possible

[weary crag]

guys does the potions stuck?

i have healing and pison can i use both at the same time?

[fathom badge]

Yes, you can do that. Some potions don't stack, so you can't use a minor healing potion while on cooldown from a medium healing potion, but you can typically use multiple potions with different effects at the same time

[dry valve]

guys can i ask what the fuck is this

[lilac coyote]

Your base?

[dry valve]

look at the wood

[fathom badge]

It looks like... wood?

[lilac coyote]

I don't see anything wrong either.

[dry valve]

cant u seee ittt???

[weary crag]

pretty sure hes talking about this.

[lilac coyote]

No. For one you've taken it at night so it's hard to see anything.

[spare badger]

The workbench?

[fathom badge]

That there is Odin, if that's what you're asking about

[weary crag]

guys that literally looks like a reaper

[lilac coyote]

Oh, Odin. Right. I thought you were talking about wood.

[weary crag]

WDYM ITS DOIN??? HOW CAN U SAY IT SO CASUALLY??

[lilac coyote]

You know we're working for him, right?

[weary crag]

BRO WHAT IT WASNT THERE BEFORE??

[lilac coyote]

I think your caps lock is stuck.

[fathom badge]

He just checks in on you every now and then, he'll bounce if you get too close to him. Or too far away.

[weary crag]

does he fights me at the end or wtf, why is he literally looking like a gream rreaper xdd

[rich roost]

@weary cragon ower server when he apire the game wants us ded 😄

[fathom badge]

Game doesn't have an ending yet 😉 He just chills watching you. If you look closely you can see he only has one eye.

[weary crag]

oke so im ready for sm raids ig 😭

[weary crag]

bro im sniping that mf next time i see him lol

btw guys whats the maximum of stars that a mob can have in no mods game?

[lilac coyote]

2 stars is the maximum.

But not many mobs actually have stars.

[weary crag]

bro 2 only?? nahh :(

im downloading the mod so that i can have boss fights ever 2 mins xd

[lilac coyote]

Huh? OK.

[stoic trench]

2 star enemies can be extremely tough, careful what you wish for lol

[fathom badge]

You can increase the raid frequency with the world modifiers. Remember that each star adds 50% of the base damage and 100% of the base HP to a mob. So a 2* mob does double the damage and has 3x the health of the no-star variant.

[weary crag]

ik but elden ring 😎 💀

[lilac coyote]

This isn't Elden Ring. It's a much better game.

[weary crag]

oke thats a lot but fuck no i dont want more raids on my beautiful base ty 😭 🙏

[weary crag]

its a big difference so i wont judge wich ones better but i can say wich ones harder for sure

and its survival game its not supposed to be unplayable as souls like is 🙏

[fresh veldt]

Yo we is not bad talking elden ring
That game is immaculate

🙏

[subtle parrot]

He just goes poof lol thought he was a wraith when i first saw him and shot an obsidian arrow at him and he just vanished

[weary crag]

i remember back in 2021 when i played w one friends and no tutorials or anything and we went to ocean for fun, and when we first saw this on the island that was swamp area too, we were scared for our lifes hahaha

[serene tangle]

he disappears after some time or if you come too close

[green crystal]

Odin doesn't have many friends. He normally just watches you to figure out how to not be such a shut-in introvert, but it never works and he bounces in embarrassment.

[fathom badge]

"I send you here to train and become stronger to defeat my enemies, and you die 12 times just falling off your roof? I'm out of here..."

[stoic trench]

Odin: “he’s just… sitting there watching his chickens. He doesn’t even kill them for meat, he just likes watching them…”

[limpid cloak]

how to fix * failed to connect *

[fathom badge]

You need to fix whatever is blocking the connection. It could be a firewall on your side, or on the host side, or you could have the target IP address wrong, could be any number of things. We need a lot more details in order to help more meaningfully.

[frigid sorrel]

could anyone help me retrieve my loot im new and its in a draugers pit please

[fathom badge]

I already told you in #general that you should ask in #1024264966712340510, specifically look at this post: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630. This channel is not for grouping up.

[frigid sorrel]

ive tried got nothing

[limpid cloak]

i fixed IP address, i dont know about firewall because i have windows 11 pro

[fathom badge]

I'm sorry, but that doesn't change the rules of the channel. The BRS discord is fairly active, they are the place to go ask for help like that.

[frigid sorrel]

ok sorry

[fathom badge]

Sometimes Windows will block an application, but you should be ok. Who is running the server? Are you sure it's up? Have you asked the server admin for details?

[limpid cloak]

what the server running? What u mean about it ? I fixed only DNS server

[weary crag]

can i add anything more to buff my resting even more? i dont have the bath yet tho

[fathom badge]

Your "table" doesn't look like an actual table, that will help. You should also make a Dragon Bed instead of a regular bed, that will add more comfort.

[real nebula]

Was about to ask, what tier are you in?

Looks like pre mountains so no dragon bed yet

[fathom badge]

True... I saw the throne and knew iron nails, forgot that they needed wolf pelts too

[fathom badge]

Nobody can tell what you're trying to connect to, and "failed to connect" is a very generic error. What server are you trying to connect to? A random one? Are you running it? Did someone direct you to it?

[limpid cloak]

what blocking my valheim? i fixed IP address

[weary crag]

damn ur 100% right xdd but i do have a little wolf skin

[real nebula]

You're just missing a proper finewood table and an armor stand to get the maximum of 12 comfort at late swamps

[limpid cloak]

im trying to connect my friend server but it doesnt work

I getting this error when i trying to join

[weary crag]

but my creativity :(( i love this bar like table xd

[real nebula]

You can get up to 13 with the dragon bed once you get enough wolf pelts

[fathom badge]

Are they inviting you through Steam, or do they have a dedicated server started? Can other people connect?

[limpid cloak]

no they send me code and password but when i write code and clicked to connect i getting this error

[fathom badge]

You can still build the table nearby, under the floor or something similar. It just needs to be in the radius, doesn't necessarily have to be usable as a table. I have a throne hidden under my crafting area 😛

[real nebula]

Or you can just not build it~

One minute of rested bonus isn't life or death

You'll have way fancier tables to build by plains tier that might be to your liking

[limpid cloak]

so what i gonna do?

[halcyon crag]

hide it in the roof/wall/floor or make a little compartment perhaps

[weary crag]

i already have enough

[weary crag]

i dont have like roof roof and under is a portal basement :((

[weary crag]

okey thats true but yk since i started i just wanted to see if theres anything else EASY that i could add, andd ye imma add that armour stand ig

[halcyon crag]

i'd put some floorboards up near the roof inside and hide it up there

from inside all anyone would notice is flat part of roof

[fathom badge]

Ohh... ok. That's Microsoft's Playfab server setup thingy, I haven't had much experience with it. Are you both using Steam? Xbox, trying to go cross-platform?

[limpid cloak]

we are trio and we are both using steam, my friend can join to my second friend but i cant, and they cant join to me, but my firstly reason is * failed to connect * and i didnt know how to fix it because i paid for this game

[fathom badge]

Ok, so if you're all using Steam it is generally not ideal to use the Playfab setup. Untick the Crossplay box when starting the server, and your friend should be able to invite you through the Steam user list. That's the ideal way to do it if you're all on PC with Steam.

[weary crag]

what do u think about this, its like yk "cooking table" or sm shi

[limpid cloak]

how to untick crossplay box?

[fathom badge]

Your friend needs to do that when starting their server

[limpid cloak]

u mean when they joined to their server they need to send me invite ?

my friend rn sent me invite to the server but it still doesn’t work

[halcyon crag]

if it works for you then it's fine, i was thinking something like this

[fathom badge]

When they first start up their game, before they invite you, they should untick the Crossplay box. That said, if everyone except you can connect it might be your Windows Firewall blocking Valheim network access, or perhaps your router. But it's not something specific to Valheim.

[limpid cloak]

so how i gonna this * firewall blocking valheim * ?

[fathom badge]

I don't know what firewalls or security software is on your computer, but you need to go investigate that and ensure that Valheim is not being blocked.

[halcyon crag]

try having them invite you via the friendlist

[limpid cloak]

How do I make sure that the firewall doesn't block valheim, and if it even blocks it, how can I make sure it doesn't block it?

[fathom badge]

This is help for Valheim, not your entire computer. I have no idea what other programs or anything you have installed. I do know that if one person can connect to your friend's server but you cannot that the problem is likely on your end, and I'm giving you some ideas to go check. Nobody here is paid for what we're doing.

[limpid cloak]

i know this help for valheim but i trying to do all for fix it, just what i gonna do with firewall? because i dont understand

[fathom badge]

A firewall is a program that will block network access to certain programs to keep your system safe. Windows Firewall is often enabled by default, but there are other companies that make firewall software that can also cause the issues. I don't know what's on your computer, so you should check to see what firewalls you have on your machine and make sure that Valheim is allowed to communicate. Sometimes routers will also block apps, but again... I don't know your actual setup or anything, so I'm basically just guessing at this point and giving you some ideas. I don't have step by step instructions you can follow.

[halcyon crag]

making sure all windows updates/drivers are up to date also can help

[limpid cloak]

On my computer only games with steam and from other platforms, need for speed most wanted, skyrim, minecraft tlauncher and that's it. I don't know how to check which firewall I have

Microsoft defender

[fathom badge]

Cool. Verify that isn't blocking Valheim as an app.

[limpid cloak]

How

[fathom badge]

You might also just add a default allow rule for the Valheim program. This is the part where you will need to do some legwork and reading for yourself. You aren't running a VPN by any chance, are you?

[limpid cloak]

I dont have VPN and i never downloaded it

[fathom badge]

Ok, good. Those can cause issues, especially with Crossplay.

[limpid cloak]

so how i gonna verify it? Because i didnt understand (i making it first time)

[fathom badge]

Do you have someone in person that's tech-savvy that you could ask? This is getting beyond what I can do to help, it doesn't seem to be specifically Valheim related at this point.

[limpid cloak]

oh ok, ty for help i will search the guy who can help me.

[weary crag]

what is the best way to find ice biom that isnt 20 m long lol

[fathom badge]

Ice biome? You mean the Mountains? As you sail around you should see them on the horizon fairly easily, from quite a distance away. Head there.

[weary crag]

okee ty

[weary crag]

can the sea serpent drops still fall into the water as they used to or do they float now?

[fathom badge]

The meat floats, everything else sinks

[limber mantle]

hello guys first time playing. when i press start in game menu nothing happens no error nothing. does anybody know a solution

[fathom badge]

Does it just sit there waiting, and says something like "Valheim.exe has stopped responding" if you do anything? If so, the answer is to just wait. It takes a long time to generate the world at first.

[limber mantle]

it just waits nothing happens when i press create, delete, new buttons aswell

[fathom badge]

You might want to validate your game files, I've never heard of that behavior.

[weary crag]

nawhhh thats pain in the ass but thanks

[fathom badge]

What most people do is they lure them to shore and then use a harpoon to drag them into the shallows and kill them there. You can get the loot fairly easily.

[mortal atlas]

hello, i cannot join to my friend, but yesterday i can normally join to him. Anyone know the problem

announcement is connection lost but my internet is good

oh and think is

today i restarted my computer to 0, maybe this is a problem

[fathom badge]

Nothing specific has changed in Valheim, connections are peer to peer or through Microsoft's crossplay servers. Not sure if they're having issues or not.

[mortal atlas]

hmm

[marble roost]

The meat is the most useful imo

Sorta OP too pre-plains

[fathom badge]

Even in the Plains. It's only outclassed by Mistlands food.

[weary crag]

GUYS HELP ME HOW DO I KILL ICE GOLEM

we are litreally stuck here cant do shit.

nvm we died its over

[fathom badge]

First off, stop yelling. Secondly, you can try using your pickaxe, but an iron mace is generally the best tool for it. Dodge rolling when it attacks will avoid all damage if you can time it right.

[weary crag]

thanks we got it

[keen glacier]

honestly, best call is to dig a pit and just harpoon the golem into it. It'll draw aggro of wolves and drakes that come around, providing you with an extra net of safety, and you won't have to worry about the golem respawning if you travel back to that area later.

[fathom badge]

I generally use the trusty iron mace I've had since the swamps, roll forward at the golem when it attacks to avoid the damage, use the secondary attack to stun it and then just hit it a few times and it becomes crystal for windows

[mortal wraith]

is there an easy way to make a smooth diagonal surface?

probably just gonna end up needing to use the stairs

[fathom badge]

Like a smooth slope on the ground? It's a little difficult, you can do a bit with the hoe though.

Otherwise you can use the angled wood pieces, they're pretty much ideally smoothly sloped.

Or a roof

[mortal wraith]

i was just trying to put together this little walk-way out to something, but the ground's a bit wonky

[fathom badge]

Ohhh, gotcha. Yeah, the terrain tools aren't great for that kind of thing. Try to take the tops off with the pick as needed and use the hoe, but there's not really a great way to do it other than trial and error, or using building pieces.

Encasing something like that in stone pieces tends to look pretty good and save a bit of materials

[mortal wraith]

sounds good! yeah I'll work it out a bit

thank you!

beginning of hopefully a cool project

i have never really tackled building anything bigger than a little shack for storage / repairing items. any building tips?

[subtle parrot]

Plenty of them and good examples in #building-screenshots and #building-discussion

[mortal wraith]

ahhhh very helpful, thank you!

[subtle parrot]

Yeh it's pretty tricky to get a good slope, but I've found if you use the hoe to flatten every 3 metres or so, it comes out decently, do some testing on natural slopes to get the feel for it.

[weary crag]

welppp idk if im late but its like day 100 in the server and we NEVER found a single sea beast or a turtle in the middle of the ocean (just my luck).. But the elden ring type of combat with mace worked out pretty easily as soon as i stopped screaming for my dear life.. and a very useful tip about them not spawning back, it lasts forever right? i can build a decent base around that spot?

[marble roost]

If you trap one in the area then yea I believe no more should spawn there.

If you kill one it’ll eventually spawn another one

[jovial dragon]

what happened to the "start_headless_server.bat" file?

anyone else having dedicated server issues?

[candid dawn]

any idea how i can make "hidden" doorway here? can i plant a tree and dig below or just anythin that dosent take away entire height of stone where i dig

[jovial dragon]

.pdf manual is gone too

[halcyon crag]

any alterations like that are gonna remove the wall, best i can think of is raise a small box of ground next to it, and run a staircase up to the wood wall part and make the doorway there, perhaps a tree each side to cover it

otherwise removing the wall you could run stone floor across the gap to fill it

[frail cave]

im brand new and just started a new character and world and i am crashing?

3 times in a row and cant get in now

[halcyon crag]

game can take a while to load on first time, just be patient with it and it should catch up

[frail cave]

i sat on the second for about 5 to 6 mins xD

[livid steeple]

Quick question: can I use the find devcommand to locate biomes, or that would only work with a dungeon, like a crypt, for example?

[halcyon crag]

other stuff running in the background like browsers can seriously slow it down, you don't want anything else competing for resources

[halcyon crag]

unsure, my hunch says not possible

[livid steeple]

I see, thanks

I kinda wanted to find swamps without spoiling if they have crypts or not, but I guess I'll have to resign to using the dungeons in case I don't find any

[candid dawn]

Cool suggestion, problem is i want entrence to the "cellar"

[tawny saddle]

is anyone else opted into the early release and having issues join servers today?

keeps saying the server is out of date even tho there is no update for the dedicated server on steam

[real nebula]

Issues related to PTB should be reported in #valheim-public-test. If you can't see this channel, tick 'I want to be a public tester' in the Channels & Roles tab at the top of the channel list.

[tawny saddle]

im not a public tester tho. my friend who is cant join my server after the public test update they had today

[real nebula]

So your friend is in the PTB, and you as the host aren't?

His client and your server need to be running the same game version in order for him to join, that's why you're getting that error. You can either opt into the PTB and update your server, or he can opt out and try again.

[tawny saddle]

he was able to join fine up until the update today

[real nebula]

Mind that if he's already used his character in a PTB world, he will probably not be able to use it if he reverts back to the live branch, as they're normally not backwards compatible.

[real nebula]

The PTB and live branch had the same game version until today.

[tawny saddle]

and if i opt into public testing then all of my other friends who cant do that wont be able to join

[real nebula]

Correct, everyone needs to be in the same game version.

[tawny saddle]

ah

[real nebula]

If it's only the one friend who can't join because he's in the PTB, ask him to revert to live branch.

[tawny saddle]

well shucks

thank you for your help.

[real nebula]

No worries~

[viral niche]

wwhere do tamed board go if they are out

[subtle parrot]

Sometimes not too far. But if there was a creature around it could've gone after it and been killed. I got a 2* boar last week and I trapped it near where it had spawned and it got out after taming and just went over to where it spawned at the boar runestone and hung out until i went and pushed it back.

[viral niche]

oh , i didnt find him so he is finish

[faint zephyr]

Anyone know why my wolf breeder suddenly just stopped working? Was working great and today just stopped

Nvm got it sorted. Some of them were bugged

Just had to get rid of the bugged ones

[pearl mortar]

I think there's max you can have in a certain area. And it's pretty low, like 4 or 5

[faint zephyr]

Nah that wasn't it, it's a breeding machine so there's never more than 4

[heady trail]

I just tried to play vanila and all the caves in the map have yellow mushrooms and skeletons The mountain caves are all the same rooms etc they only have bats in them is this normal/

[bleak flax]

Any ideas why I don't have a bepinex folder?

[safe glacier]

So I cleared all that out of draugr. Is there any way to salvage the buildings or do I just knock em down?

[outer osprey]

do what u want

[green crystal]

its because you're extracting it directly into the game folder and not looking at what's actually in the folders of BepInEx

Try extracting it first then moving the contents of the folder into the correct place

[halcyon crag]

with a workbench you can repair, adapt, or demolish, whichever suits

[safe glacier]

And it'll all be usable? I feel like I heard somewhere that there was something about the ai generated structures that was different from player created structures

[halcyon crag]

unless any of the pieces can't be repaired, easy to spot, usually only happens on servers where things get out of sync with the world tho

in solo i've never had issues

it's a bigger job but removing it all and just using the land how you like is fine

they occupy ground that's nice and flat and easy to expand on

[safe glacier]

I just kinda like the big building. It's a nice little spot to have around. At least until I get the main digs going

[pallid jungle]

Hi all, I'm changing some settings on my dedicated server and I'm looking at the options for the portals modifier, and I'm trying to find an explanation for what the 3 options do.

I've been Googling for quite a while and all I can find is the in-game explanations with the slider, e.g. for worlds launched from the game

[visual radish]

I would assume that casual means you can take anything through portals, hard means you can't take metals through portals, and very hard likely disables them. Can't think of what else it could mean.

[pallid jungle]

with the slider there are four options: portal items, which allows all items through portals; normal, which disallows metals and dragon eggs like normal; no boss portals; and no portals at all

I was thinking veryhard would be no boss portals maybe... just wish it was explained somewhere

[halcyon crag]

i'd agree

[subtle parrot]

Now that you mention it, i forgot about the no boss portal option. That's a conundrum. But i would still assume very hard would be no portals

[halcyon crag]

i'd think very hard was no boss, and disabled is simply disabled

[pallid jungle]

ah hmm so I wonder if the default option is just no portals modifier...

i.e. you don't add a modifier for it

[subtle parrot]

I didn't know disabled was an option

[pallid jungle]

so casual: all items, leave it out: default, hard: no boss portals, veryhard: no portals?

[safe glacier]

What happens if you lose your swamp key?

[subtle parrot]

That's my assumption

[subtle parrot]

Go kill the elder again

[halcyon crag]

ye could be

[safe glacier]

Thought once he was dead he was dead. You can really farm bosses?

[halcyon crag]

they all have several altars (at least 3 per boss)

[pallid jungle]

Ok now that I look at the sliders again, I do think that's the case... there's one more setting on the other sliders too for "normal". So I guess it makes sense you wouldn't have a normal option for the dedicated server modifiers - if you want normal, just don't set it.

[subtle parrot]

All day

[halcyon crag]

but other than collecting trophies for yr base there's not much call to

[pallid jungle]

to stress test my dedicated server when we first set it up, we spawned in like 7 eikthyrs at once

[safe glacier]

😳

[pallid jungle]

if you want multiple artisan tables it's nice to kill moder again to get extra tears, too

[halcyon crag]

ye the game is quite generous with initial boss spawns, and if you still need more after that for some crazy reason the sacrifices can all be farmed, but the Mistlands one is particularly problematic, soldier trophies needed and they are p rare

[pallid jungle]

covering my eyes I haven't got that far yet

😅

[floral token]

although there are three boss spawns in the world, so unless you're on a world where all three locations have been killed, you can still use sealbreakers.

[halcyon crag]

it's not really even much of an issue tho which is why i mentioned it

since that boss comes with 5 initial placements

[pallid jungle]

anyway thanks for the help, think I understand all the modifiers now...

[halcyon crag]

most players would never kill that boss 5+ times xD

[fathom badge]

Says you. Swamp keys make a great chandelier design 😛 or are you talking about the Queen?

[halcyon crag]

well maybe it'll be more attractive to do so once we find out what the drop actually does

[floral token]

Are there five locations for the queen?

From what I've seen, there've been three, just like the others

[halcyon crag]

Queen ye

[subtle parrot]

Also good for back lighting armor sets or other things

[halcyon crag]

(was attempting to do so without dropping the name but nvm xD)

[halcyon crag]

it goes 3.4.5.3.4.5

[floral token]

i'd like to see that, i haven't ever seen 4 locations for any of the bosses on my worlds

[safe glacier]

Is there a mod that stops rain? I'm all for having to deal with some occasional inclement weather but I really feel like it's an almost daily thing that it rains for a good portion of the day. I'm always dealing with the wet debuff

[halcyon crag]

probably, there for sure is a devcommand that does that, Env Clear

[safe glacier]

Ah ok

[lilac coyote]

He's correct.

[crystal matrix]

Do trees grow by themselves? Im kinda getting tired of chopping stumps for space and then replanting

[lilac coyote]

No, only ones you've planted.

[crystal matrix]

Shoot, Thanks!

[rose umbra]

hi, i wanna share my world with my friend but when i go to appdata under valheim/worlds i only see file "steam_autocloud.vdf" and every video says there should be my world save, but it isnt, any suggestions?

[willow raft]

You can save locally and then it should be there.

I believe you need to click your world and change the settings from cloudsave to local save, been a while since I done that.

[rose umbra]

i see thank you!

[candid dawn]

why am i getting this when trying to enable devcommands?
I got the -console in steam

[lilac coyote]

One of your mods is broken.

[crystal matrix]

Can be ignored though.

[viral niche]

my interent stopps from other apps when i start valheim dedecated servers what should i do ?

[glass latch]

@lofty orchid

[lilac girder]

Permission Embed Links is required to send this embedded message.

[obtuse vector]

My server name was changed to "Dizzymon" without my knowledge or permission and I don't appreciate it. If my name could be changed to "Dizzy" like it was I would be very grateful

[real nebula]

There ya go!

[obtuse vector]

Thank you so much

[subtle parrot]

Probably a better question for the knowledgeable folks in #dedicated-server

[floral token]

ik, i'm just surprised i haven't come across that many! but i'm not surprised after thinking about it, the world is so large, tough to explore all of it myself 🙂

[limpid sinew]

I started a server over a year ago, however I'm not sure when exactly, my oldest recorded world save dates from march 2023, I'd just like to make sure that the world save actually includes mistlands content in case I started the server before that update? If I had started it prior would it have updated to use it (given we had barely explored the map at that point in time and frankly, still...)

Is there some easy way to know this so I don't have to worry about missing content? Even though the world is old, it has "important" memories for me and I would rather continue from it than start from scratch, we just started playing again recently...

[willow raft]

All old worlds should be updated to the latest content, unless you have explored some mistlands those explored parts will stay old and won't be updated, all the rest will be updated.
Same with Hildir and meadows.

The only way to check would be to find a patch of mistlands and see if it has bugs, hares and other mobs running around in it.
As far as I know.

[limpid sinew]

Yeah well given we haven't stumbled on them yet I gather we should be ok as they aren't generated yet, thanks a bunch

[stoic trench]

I think you should be alright, if it helps ease the worry at all, I also a resumed an old world pre-mistlands. However, I’m still able to access all mistlands content, just as if the world had been made after the mistlands update.

[limpid sinew]

Yeah I got worried with the new update coming and the mention about "issues with the mistland upgrade" :/

We should still have a lot of stuff to explore by the time Ashlands releases and gracefully upgrade to it as we're typically not moving areas until we're though the "Tech tree" of that area... And we're currently in the Marsh biome.

[candid dawn]

why are these stairs getting damaged? theres roof over

[hollow fog]

Hey guyyss, help, If the Ashlands update comes out, will I be able to play in my already created world? Or will I need to create a new world?

[subtle parrot]

Seems like you're building really close to the water level (it spans the whole map) so it's probably taking water damage from underneath

[limpid sinew]

Looks like I'm not the only one who gets worried ;)

[subtle parrot]

It will be playable

[candid dawn]

Ah thats it. thx

[subtle parrot]

Fairly common worry it seems

[willow raft]

If even a small pixel is sticking out off the roofed area the whole stair get damaged, so somewhere there is a spot that isn't roofed.
Another possibility is that water comes out of the ground during a storm and it gets damaged like that.

[willow raft]

If the ashlands update works like the rest, the unexplored ashlands will get updated but the already explored parts will stay the same.

[weary crag]

guys is it worth playing assassin build i mean fenrir armour sett and a silver knife, or should i go sword with wolf set armour?? or some other mix help pls :)

[candid dawn]

if i toss something on the ground will it disapear in time?

[fathom badge]

The different stages of the game really encourage using multiple play styles and loadouts for what is appropriate. Valheim is not very amenable to single class type playstyle.

[fathom badge]

As long as it's not in range of a player base object like a workbench or campfire, yes. Depending on what you're throwing away though, you can get a build piece once you have iron and have found the trader that will let you recycle anything into coal.

[candid dawn]

i have a small pond in my cave house and i wanna toss some coins into it 😄

[fathom badge]

They should stay glittering at the bottom then if you have a workbench or campfire nearby 🙂

[candid dawn]

cool

[weary crag]

oke thanks but for plains whats the best loadout in ur op

[fathom badge]

That depends a lot on your skill and risk tolerance. I tend to use full Fenris armor and an atgeir, plus a Hunter's bow, ooze bombs and a Frostner. Generally only use Padded armor for fighting Yagluth

Even the mists I run fenris with a root harnesk, though 😛

[weary crag]

okey thank you for helping out im going full fenrir cuz it looks so sick

does it go better with a knife or its all the same knife and sword?

is there no silver atgeir iin the game or am i blind

[real nebula]

There is not

[fathom badge]

The only boost the Fenris set gives is to fists, which right now is the flesh rippers weapon. It's pretty cool, but not very long-term viable at the moment. Knife or sword is dependent on your preferences and play style.

[weary crag]

so sword shield it is thanks mate

[fathom badge]

Just remember that in general when you are using that armor you're going to want to use dodge roll a lot more than you are going to want to parry attacks

[real carbon]

Hi, i'm new in Valheim, and i need help in some commands in Creative Mode. I've been playing since a while this game and now some friends want to join me in this adventure, but, we have some issues 'cause mi stats are way more higher than my friends and we want to balance them with creative. There is some command to I give them stats? I only can give stats to me... please help me

i'm sorry if my English is not very accurate i'm a Spanish native speaker

[fathom badge]

No, you can't give them stats. They can use their character in a local world and adjust their stats, or you could just create a new character for the world you are all sharing and that would make it more equal, too. Characters and worlds are not linked.

[limpid cloak]

how disable firewall?

[real carbon]

Thanks for the info and the quick answer, really thanks a lot. Skol

[wild aspen]

is there any way to fix a world.db ?

[limpid cloak]

how to use external IP for try to connect? not internal

[zinc palm]

why does copper not break down alltogether when it is literally a gigantic chunk floating in air? this worked before, and its widely separated from the ground but it just doesnt break when we mine parts of it

[fathom badge]

The bounding boxes for copper ore chunks can be very large. They can be clipping into the ground or another rock even if it doesn't appear to be.

[robust spire]

hi there, valheim-help chat!

when Ashlands drops, what happens to the Sacrificial Stones in my Mistlands world? does the seventh Ashlands forsaken get added somewhere, or will I constantly need to transpose to a new world to change up my buffs?

[buoyant peak]

It will be updated

[lilac coyote]

Same way the Mistlands one was.

[robust spire]

thank you! I had save issues once Mistlands dropped so I didn't know. ty!

[stoic trench]

Will chickens continue to hatch no matter how many chickens are in a given area?

[lilac coyote]

No, there's a limit just like boars and wolves. 14 within 12 metres.

[stoic trench]

Great, thank you!

[fathom badge]

Eggs will continue to hatch no matter what I believe, but they will not lay eggs if they are too dense.

[safe glacier]

There are chickens??

[lilac coyote]

Later, yeah.

[safe glacier]

Swap is lightweight kicking my ass. Isn't even the poison really. The blobs go down pretty quick with arrows. But draugr don't take knockback from my stag breaker. So if I get swarmed by a few of them and some skellys, it's gg

[plush knot]

You can try jumping on the ancient tree logs or crypts for safety
Just try and kill the archers first
Also stealth is really underrated
Atgiers are great for staggering too

[carmine marten]

what is the keybind on keyboard and mouse to dodgeroll? I can't find it. (i know its a stupid question)

[plush knot]

Should be hold block then jump or right click + space

[carmine marten]

awesome thanks

[plush knot]

I think the defaults got swapped around but that's how i do it

[halcyon crag]

a mace will make life easier going, also how are you on food?

[safe glacier]

Can't help but feel like if the stag breaker couldn't stagger, nothing could lol

[safe glacier]

I did have a mace. But last death I was trying to clear a spawner and just got overran

[carmine mountain]

Do the skeletons outside of a burial chamber respawn?

[fathom badge]

One of the three does, yes

[fathom badge]

The problem is that the stag breaker is very slow. It can be useful in the sunken crypts because of the close quarters, but it's much more difficult to use efficiently in the open.

[carmine mountain]

fire thanks 🙏

[safe glacier]

It is. But like, most everything gets stun locked by it even in the open. Draugr don't give a shit about it though. They just keep coming

I may need to make some of those stink bombs to clear that nest

[robust spire]

draugr are a lot tougher than greydwarves. they're faster and because of their higher health they don't stagger as easy. stagbreaker won't help you against them like it will the blobs and skeletons.

sneaking with a bow, fast weapons like a sword or a spear (and shield!), selecting your fights carefully - they're all good strategies for conquest in the swamp. don't forget your rested bonus and healing mead!

those structures with stone surrounding the draugr spawners are tough! you can easily get overwhelmed - I would suggest looking for crypts to get some iron tools and armor first!

[safe glacier]

Iron armor? Seemed inefficient. Armor to weight ratio over the troll armor, no?

[robust spire]

if you get a good flow of iron, it can be a solid option. troll armor can do fine, but unless it's upgraded you can get ripped apart when staggered. technically it's not the most efficient, but it'll soak up hits much better. higher armor also raises your ability to block.

if you find yourself getting clobbered in corridors and don't like to run, it's a good choice.

[safe glacier]

Ok

I wanna say my troll armor is level 3 on most pieces. I just got to swamps so I have a bit of iron but the only things I've made with it so far is a pickaxe and a banded shield

Everything costs hella iron ingots to make

[robust spire]

true, it does. the iron grind never ends!

if your armor is level 3, I think the issue lies in the strategy. draugr give no quarter and they are more than happy to run you down until they catch you.

see if you can't pick up some bronze to try out an atgeir - it's a phenomenal weapon with good range, a useful special attack, and overall fun playstyle. keep stagbreaker handy for the blobs and you should see an improvement.

the pierce won't do anything against the blobs or skeletons, but its range and high damage could give an edge against the draugr. if nothing else, it's another weapon that you've tried - there is no meta, they're all good.

[safe glacier]

I've not tried the atgeir. Certainly something I need to pick up.

[carmine mountain]

do you know how long it takes for one to respawn?

[frail cave]

once every 60 irl minutes (2 full in-game days)

[fierce grove]

does anyone know why i cant post in LFG ?

[limpid cloak]

who fixed error ** failed to connect ** pls dm me

[snow root]

Anybody else have there mouse pointer disappear in game ? what is this ! 😮

[velvet anchor]

Guys

how to add mods to dedicated server ( Linux )

[sturdy folio]

That's a question for the #mods-discussion channel

[rotund burrow]

hello guys! can you help me install mods, how and where can I download them? I want to diversify my gameplay a little!

[stoic trench]

#valheim-help message

[buoyant peak]

The msg is just there...

Unbelievable

[sturdy folio]

Incorrect channel

[real nebula]

It's your message pointing to mods discussion~

[sturdy folio]

Subject defeated Yagluth earlier, he coudln't read properly

I can now 👍

[ocean sun]

What platform are you gaming on?

[real nebula]

#mods-discussion for anything mod related, please and thanks

[azure tangle]

Quick question on boss scaling for multiple players... Does this work? Last year I took about 15mins to kill Yag on my own, but a bunch of my friends took him down in about 3 mins on a public server this week. I read he should get a health buff for multiple attackers, but they pretty much took him apart without issue.

[real nebula]

AFAIK he does get some health scaling, but it wouldn't multiply his entire health bar times the amount of players present

[naive pewter]

I mean it's easier for 2 ppl or more to attack a boss because he just attacks another person every time. I might be wrong but yeah

[neon vale]

hello... does anyone know why the steam overlay and fps counter don't show in valheim? i googled the problem and it seems pretty common but i couldn't find a real fix. the overlay and fps counter work in other games, it's just valheim for me, even with them enabled. thx!

[fathom badge]

Do you have any other overlays besides Steam? Both are functional for me. What GPU? Updated drivers?

[neon vale]

i dont use msi or anything else, discord overlay would be on but im not in discord when playing valheim. i have a radeon rx 5700 xt with the newest drivers. the same setup my wife has exactly... and the counter works for her. it also works on all my other steam games, just not valheim. i swear i've had this issue in the past (we just returned for a new playthrough) but i can't recall if i figured out how to fix it or not lol

[fathom badge]

Interesting. Make sure there are no custom settings for the game in the drivers. Those can sometimes cause problems.

[neon vale]

ok ill check there. thx 🙂

pretty sure there are none, and i definitely remember having this issue in the past... it's not a huge deal, i get playable fps for sure, just kinda wanted to keep an eye on it lol

[fathom badge]

Yeah, definitely. Wish I had better than just general advice, I've never had it happen or heard of it happening.

[marble roost]

I think he gets +30-40% hp (and +4% damage) for each person (up to a max of like 5 people). But each person you add to the fight basically increases your overall dps by 100% compared to if you’re just one person, and it makes it easier to hit him since he’s distracted by your friends

[azure tangle]

Good to know. shame they didn't buff them more tbh. As you say, they only hit one at a time regardless, so they should be boosted further. Makes sense why they walked it.

[marble roost]

yea i suppose they just don't want multiplayer to be too punishing.

Can always up the difficulty

[lilac coyote]

It should be as punishing as single player, really.

[reef flame]

Is it worth it to get a wolf? What do I use it for?

[lilac coyote]

Either defending your base or taking on bosses.

[reef flame]

Is it strong enough to take on bosses? Without spoilers of them if possible

[lilac coyote]

Well, not one, but if you take a full pack, definitely.

[reef flame]

Can I take them through portals?

[lilac coyote]

No.

[halcyon crag]

try fishing

[elder pulsar]

Halberds are op in swamp, especially when crouded

Spin go brrr

[elder pulsar]

My favourite type of the weapon

[reef flame]

How do I bring it back to my base then?

[marble roost]

atgeir is OP everywhere

[elder pulsar]

Except growths and lycans, these b*ches are scary for me enough to not go anywhere near them :D

(I still plan to kill them without iron somehow, hehe)

[elder pulsar]

I personally want to make a wolf farm later for meat. Plus they're great damage dealers as far as I saw (by dying to them repeatedly both with tower and parry shields)

[elder pulsar]

Can you bring wolf with you through the sea by harpooning it and then dragging across the ocean?

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, that'll work. Or stick then on a boat.

[elder pulsar]

Noice

[lilac coyote]

It's... not easy though.

[elder pulsar]

I hate them enough to try every option repeatedly :D Thanks for advice

[elder pulsar]

Can I kill a lycan/wolves if I will build a tree house in the mountains? Or they will run off?

[fathom badge]

They'll eventually run off if they can't get at you. Dodge-rolling is a good skill to make sure you learn, it makes them a lot easier. An iron atgeir is also helpful.

BTW, they're called "Fenrings" in this game, people might be confused if you refer to them as lycan

[lilac coyote]

Try spinning, that's a good trick.

[uncut helm]

why do the chickens always stay in this corner

[halcyon crag]

you don't have the art of chicken whispering down yet

[mortal atlas]

why i cant log to my friends server

two days ago I could join but today I can't

[halcyon crag]

poor/blocked connection/VPN, anything that might be affecting network speed

[fathom badge]

Because chickens are dumb 😦 All the animals are. They will get trapped by each other and basically end up as a chicken glob because none of them can escape until the outside ones decide to leave.

[mortal atlas]

blocked connection?

[halcyon crag]

ie firewall settings

[uncut helm]

lmfao

[mortal atlas]

where i can change firewall settings

[halcyon crag]

if you don't know it's likely not that

[fathom badge]

Seriously though, the only real solution I've found is to build mini-pens for the chickens, or have a huge area where it's hard for them to get fully into corners and not have sharp corners.

[mortal atlas]

oh

[halcyon crag]

and since you could connect a couple days back, anything that's changed on yr system since then could be the culprit

[uncut helm]

thought about this but it'd be way harder to manage eggs/chickens

[mortal atlas]

ayyy thats sad

or maybe steam settings blocked connection to server

[halcyon crag]

if you and yr friend both restart yr pc's and try again it may work

[loud linden]

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

[frail cave]

tbf it fixes most issues

[loud linden]

Hell yes it does.

[frail cave]

dw ik LOL

[zenith nimbus]

It's good strategy for eggs protection

[loud linden]

It's probably the opposite corner to your fire source.

[limber wigeon]

Is ||Seeker Soldier|| trophy broken? We killed over 80 & got nothing

I remember getting it after like 30 to 40 in the last playthrough

[marble roost]

should work fine, sounds like some awful bad luck to me tho

In theory you should get one every 20 kills but it's just RNG

You want them for decoration or for ||Queen||?

[limber wigeon]

Just for the collection, we got every possible thing ready for ashlands but just missing this one trophy XD

[marble roost]

I c

[loud linden]

There's no more common a drop grievance than players suffering the law of probability for something they expect to be an easy acquisition. No, it's not broken.

[zenith nimbus]

With 5% chance after killing 80 enemies you will get at least 1 trophy with 98% chance

[loud linden]

Did you determine that under a binomial probability calculation?

[oblique hawk]

The chance of getting a trophy is 50%. Either you get one or you don't.

[loud linden]

Duuuuude...

[zenith nimbus]

Easier, but yes, by formula

[loud linden]

Easier than success or failure? Do tell.

[zenith nimbus]

N sequence fails is just power of fail chance.
So, just double invert
1-(1-0.05)^n

[jolly turret]

This is the same on several trophies actually

||cultist|| trophies or ||fuling berserker|| trophies have similar drop rates and frustrations

[zinc palm]

how i can play windowed borderless?

[jolly turret]

My friend and I went through around 25-28 ||cultists|| and we did not get a single trophy

Then I went into survival and killed 25 by myself and got 5 😓

[loud linden]

I'd like to be sceptical, but also too drunk to refute you. I accept your proposal as truth. 👍

[jolly turret]

I don’t play windowed so I can’t help you there bud 😭

[zinc palm]

because it either takes forever to alt-tab or i have to play like this

because when i alt-enter it forces the game to fullscreen mode and then again takes forever to alt tab and screen shots are bugged

[orchid badge]

guys, i can't rotate the sail of raft
what's the controls

[subtle parrot]

You have to use the rudder

Then you will be able to steer, and a wind direction will show in the bottom right when it's black put the sails up and when it's white put the sails down

[loud linden]

Set your own keybinds. Far out.

[fathom badge]

The sail rotates itself. Up and down raise and lower the sails in increments, left and right turn the boat itself. If you can't get wind you can paddle using just a single forward or backward increment, there are little ^ marks that let you know what you're currently set to.

Make sure you "use" the rudder at the back of the boat and you aren't trying to grab the mast or something

[loud linden]

Some of my best voyages have focussed on me pole-dancing on the mast. It just makes the time pass faster.

[fathom badge]

I let my friend sail and then sneak around the longboat, leveling up my skills while being bored 😛 Same thing while I'm letting my chickens lay eggs.

[limber wigeon]

This is so not my point, but okay.

[jolly turret]

I would suggest trying to find one on a completely different world

We did that for ||cultist|| trophies and I got 3 after going through 2 frost caves

Sometimes you just gotta try something different to get what you are looking for

[limber wigeon]

We did for like 250 hours & its literally the last thing we miss out on

[jolly turret]

Ugh man

Legit all I can do is sympathise on that 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Only thing I can think that might help is fighting a large number of ||seeker soldiers|| together

I had to fight 5 of them at once in a horrible ||infested mine|| (not counting the other 3 I had to kill in other parts of the ||mine||) and one of the 5 dropped a trophy

I had the same experience with other trouble trophies but that could just be pure rng working in my favour for some bizarre reason

The hard part would be getting so many of the buggers to spawn in at once

[reef flame]

Weird I never had an issue with alt tab

[white mortar]

Just curious is Hilder in non beta test version of the game

[real nebula]

Since a while ago, yes

[white mortar]

Ok thanks been looking for a while she’s hard to find

[midnight saffron]

are chickens currently bugged? I dropped two eggs on the floor, both were warm
both disappeared at some point instead of hatching

[halcyon crag]

not vanilla behaviour, mine worked fine yday

[marble roost]

you sure the eggs didn't hatch and the chickens just went and died?

[frail cave]

could it be possible that they hatched and walked onto the fire keeping them warm?

[halcyon crag]

or they died yeh, that's vanilla behaviour xD

[midnight saffron]

oh, that could be the issue

but... how do I prevent that? should I use a torch instead of a fireplace?

[spare badger]

Barricade the fire so they cannot fall into it

[halcyon crag]

fire guard, wood half walls are usually ideal for this initially

but anything that blocks them getting to the fire works

raising the fire can also work but be wary coz they stack on each other's backs and will still die, walls walls walls

some like to use a hanging brazier instead, but it's range isn't great

[fathom badge]

The hanging brazier range is exactly the same as a campfire? It's just a sphere so it might seem smaller when it's higher up off the ground.

[halcyon crag]

indeed, and a hearth is my go to, no cold eggs around 🙂

moving the fire upwards moves the sphere upwards, so from centre touching ground edge to edge max, to the tip of a circle touching the floor or none, depending on how high you move it

[fathom badge]

Little bit over head height so you can run under it and you still have a ton of room for chickens and it's impossible for them to get to it

[halcyon crag]

for small rooms it's fine

[fathom badge]

Hear me out: 2 braziers 😛

[halcyon crag]

commence brazier spam

[fathom badge]

They also last as long on 5 coal as a hearth lasts on 20 wood. So pretty efficient as well.

[halcyon crag]

FPS screaming

for me all fires are on the extreme luxury list, so i'm going for max coverage with fewest possible

[fathom badge]

GPU or CPU limited? Render scaling helps a ton for me

[halcyon crag]

do you see how many dverger lights i use? that's how many fires i'd have if it were possible

[fathom badge]

lol... oh right.

[supple kayak]

anyone know a command (if possible) to hide/reset the trader/hildir??

[lilac coyote]

Reset?

[supple kayak]

i tried resetmap - still visible

[buoyant peak]

Visible how?

[lilac coyote]

I guess they want to remove the marker.

[supple kayak]

sorry - on the map

yes someone did a fly by and both appeared

opening the server tomorrow and did not want it visible

[lilac coyote]

And no, I don't think that's possible.

[supple kayak]

ok so map reload it is

[halcyon crag]

was gonna say just restart the seed

[supple kayak]

yeah there were builds added

so we lose some of the admin work that was done

[halcyon crag]

gotta weigh how important it is then

[supple kayak]

will planbuild it

[vapid warren]

resetmap just hide what's visibly discovered by the player. hildir and haldor are spawned in when you go nearby and will always show up on the map for everyone on the server

[lilac coyote]

it'd be a nice feature to have, to be honest.

[supple kayak]

agreed. whenever we start a new server there are some things we add typically for fun. so this does happen periodically

[lilac coyote]

Someone throw it into #suggestions

[fathom badge]

I can imagine that being fairly difficult to implement while having very marginal benefit to only a very few admins

[lilac coyote]

Well, it's up to the devs whether to implement or not, I guess.

[supple kayak]

seems like it could be a key that would be set when found.

[fathom badge]

Obviously 😛 I'm just saying the effort/benefit is likely not tilted in favor of it happening. But I could be wrong.

[supple kayak]

i agree on an edge case

[halcyon crag]

seems like what happens at the start of the game, hiding them and adding a shuffle so the uncovered markers move to another spot

still pretty edge case like said

i could see some vanilla (with modifiers) use where a player wanted a trader in a certain place, being able to cycle them around their possible spawn spots would be useful in that instance

i still don't think that advances the case for it much tho xD

[oblique hawk]

Sounds like mod territory to me, tbh.

Can certainly be useful occasionally, but not something I expect will be spent any dev time on, since it's a rather narrow area of usefulness that goes away from the "intended way of playing".

[formal dirge]

Is there a mod i can use to save a building and the terrain as i have a whole underground storage area and i don't want to have to do it all over again

[lilac coyote]

I think theres one called PlanBuild. The guys at #mods-discussion will know.

[formal dirge]

yeah i know of planbuild but im not sure about it saving terrain I've dug out

[narrow robin]

anyway to eventually add persistent sunk/broke boats?
would be cool to have a port with sunk ships to avoid

[subtle parrot]

Don't think there's a command to spawn the shipwrecks in, i tried to Google it but couldn't find anything helpful

[lilac coyote]

I'm sure they're in the list somewhere: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs

[noble palm]

Hello friends, we have just started the game as a team of friends and we are enjoying it, but we cannot log in when the friend who opened the server cannot come. Is there a solution to this?

[old fox]

My Valhein crashes when trying to start a world, can anyone help me?

[fathom badge]

The solution is to get a dedicated server or run one if one of your group is technically inclined like that. It's free to run one yourself, or you can rent one from various services.

[crystal matrix]

Is there a way to farm chains? I want many braziers

[halcyon crag]

iron crypts and overworld swamp chests i think, and wraiths

[marble roost]

Best is likely running around swamps at night trying to spot wraiths

[carmine talon]

does anyone know where i can find the names of the map pin icons? i am using a mod to auto pin them but i cant find any documentation about the names of the default icons. I am talking about the actual name of the file like "example.png"

the names of these

[frail cave]

unless things changed since the last time i ripped the assets (or i'm looking at the wrong files) they should be part of a larger texture called sactx-2-2048x2048-BC7-UIAtlas-d0e4ebd5.png, or sactx-2-2048x2048-BC7-UIAtlas-d0e4ebd5_0.png which seems to be identical.

[carmine talon]

i dont think thats quite what im looking for. im talking about the names of the individual pins, like the circle, portal, house, flame, etc

basically i am trying to replace the names in this file with the default icons instead of the custom ones

[frail cave]

hmm, if the game splits them up, i don't know what the individual ones are called, i probably don't have them in this folder.

#mods-discussion can probably help

[carmine talon]

ahh ok

i will ask there then, thanks

[crystal matrix]

Moder is located at the center of an island far off the spawn

Okay, traveling is fun
The mountain is surrounded by Mistlands, Plains, and Swamps and I get harrassed by goblins

Does a village of fulings respawn?

[lilac coyote]

Might be worth looking for another Moder.

No, villages themselves won't respawn once empty.

[crystal matrix]

Ive found 2 of the red sign location thingy and they both point to the same location sadly.

[crystal matrix]

Great to hear. Theres one that pretty small, will do that village then. Thanks!

Just gotta be careful and kite them, keep an eye for mosquitos

[marble roost]

probably because you looked at once in the same general area. You gotta go far away to find a red sign closer to another Moder

For me I found like 5 signs on a mountain near mistlands but couldn't find the moder for all the mist, ended up running back towards spawn and found one basically right next to spawn

[crystal matrix]

Ah so red sign stone thingies in the same area will tend to point to the same boss location? That saves time from exploring a whole biome. Thanks!

[marble roost]

Yup they mark the closest moder spawn. and there's only 3 I think, so gotta go fairly far to get near another one

[crystal matrix]

Would the smelter be obsolete when you can make the blast furnace?

[cyan arch]

you can't smelt anything below black metal in blast furnace i beleive

[visual radish]

Yep, you still need smelters for iron, copper, silver, etc.

[crystal matrix]

Ah, got it. Thank you both!

[shrewd sun]

question, how do I reinforce stone stability so that I can increase the height of the structure?

example: when I put a core wood beam under stone bricks or stone slabs, the brick/slab does not turn green, and remains yellow

[floral token]

iron beams

[faint zephyr]

Does the core wood go all the way to ground/blue piece?

If so, you're close to max build limit with core wood and need iron beams

[floral token]

does core wood support stone?

[subtle parrot]

To a certain extent, but iron wood beams are the way to go if you wanna build high

[floral token]

neat

[shrewd sun]

is it possible to make a full set of eitr gear without killing dvergr?
I apologize for I know this has likely been asked before

[plush knot]

you can ram a cart into their ward to break down the box for the extractor without aggroing them or killing them

[shrewd sun]

thank you kindly

[crystal matrix]

you can try raising the ground, just a small tile that you can cover with stone blocks. Straight upwards

[crystal matrix]

Dammit! mobs broke my boat while I was not looking. How do I get the stuff at the bottom of the shore?

[fringe totem]

raise the ground or jump from a higher place to get some depth and spam E

[willow raft]

What jabo said if that doesn't work go higher, if that doesn't work, say bye bye to it and start grinding for it again.
ps: I dig a hole, put a workbench and chest in it, break the boat, put stuff in the chest and put a floor over the hole and mark the map, no chance of broken boat, nor broken chest and you can quickly get the boat rebuild again.

[mystic solar]

Generally speaking, iron beams reinforce stone (and wood), and stone reinforces wood. If you set a core wood post on stone, it'll start out blue unless the stability of the stone is already in the red.
And you can run iron beam reinforcements inside of stone blocks, so they stay invisible.

[weary crag]

guys whats better frostnair or the iron mace

[coarse sorrel]

Frost mace good agains undead because of spirit damage, iron mace is good overall

And frost debuff is very helpfull all the time

[marble roost]

frostner. Except against Moder or stone golems

[coarse sorrel]

Have a question. Where can I get iron except swamp (crypts, oozers, muddy veins underground) and caves in mountains?
Any iron sources in plains?

[fathom badge]

Frostner does negligible spirit damage, the vast majority of its damage is frost damage. Iron mace in general is better in the mountains if you're going to carry just one mace, but pretty much everywhere else the Frostner is better

[coarse sorrel]

Iron mace is good agains golems, but useless agains drakes (bow needed) and wolfs can be killed with iron or silver cheap fang spears

[fathom badge]

None in the Plains, but there are sources in the Mistlands

[coarse sorrel]

Thanks. I just don't like to dig in swamp

[jolly elk]

It's a survival game. Not 'Hello Kitty'. 😄

[fathom badge]

Fair. The swamp ends up being one of the safest biomes eventually, it doesn't have nighttime spawns of other biome enemies like most biomes do 😉

[weary crag]

thanks guys frostner it is <3 and btw i wanted to ask if theres later on a sword special like that cuz i am a sword person haha

[fathom badge]

There's a Mistlands sword you will quite like, and the Plains sword is quite strong but very basic.

[coarse sorrel]

Doable. Swamp mobs isn't hard. Spending tio much time in water at night digging in water, then lovering ground to get last pieces, dig-swim-move-dig moves for only 5-6 iron pieces isn't usefull

[fathom badge]

Are you not exploring the sunken crypts? That's where all the iron is.

[coarse sorrel]

300h+ in subnautica through almost all early access updates. Ik)

[coarse sorrel]

I explored around 7 swamp locations and find only five crypts. I have iron armor, some weapons, but need iron for building, spare nails and other stuff.

[fathom badge]

Yeah, unfortunately sometimes it's very boom or bust with that. That's actually one reason I rarely make the iron armor, I just go with Root any more because of the material cost. More exploring swamps will help, and if you haven't found a Surtling spawner in the swamps then it's still worth seeking out some other swamps 😉 Free coal and cores is super handy.

[coarse sorrel]

Cores and coal are easy to get. Burial chambers and infinite wood from greydwarfs.
I farm surtling mostly for thophys

[weary crag]

oh damn, well at the point of mist its like an end game sadly hahah but thanks

[fathom badge]

There are two more biomes planned after the Mistlands, one of which is coming out before the end of June 😉

[coarse sorrel]

Ashlands and... ?

[fathom badge]

Deep North. Then possibly some reworking to the Ocean, but there's no guarantee on that.

[coarse sorrel]

Hell yeah. More creatures will try to eat your ship with you

Actually, will your stuff float after you die in ocean?

[oblique hawk]

Yeah, your gravestone floats.

[coarse sorrel]

But iron nails not

[oblique hawk]

And if the ship is destroyed any cargo goes in floating crates (but the ship materials sing except wood).

[fathom badge]

Your gravestone floats, and anything in the cargo hold of the ship you were in will float in boxes. Most of the ship materials sink, though.

[stoic trench]

For the longship, the nails and deer hide sink.

[weary crag]

damnn wild cant wait

[coarse sorrel]

Asking because serpents try to have me as night snack yesterday while I travelling to home base with full longship cargo of silver ore. Losing it permanently will be harsh

[fathom badge]

Serpents only show up and night and/or in storms, so it's often a good idea to go to shore and use a portal to go home when it gets dark. Or at least repair your boat if it's taken damage.

[coarse sorrel]

I kill two serpents at daytime. So, not only in storms

[true steeple]

Serpents spawned by a storm wont despawn, so you can find them at day with clear weather

[coarse sorrel]

Yeah, I understand it. Travelling at night is too dangerous. But we are vikings, creatures cant stop us

And now I have a good story how I defend my cargo in ocean in fog at night) kill a deadly sea snake blindly

[weary crag]

btw any loadout recs for moder

[coarse sorrel]

Make sence. Thanks. Usefull info if you want hunt them

[fathom badge]

Arrows. All the arrows 😉 Best armor you can manage, best food, and have a solid melee weapon you like for when she lands. She is immune to frost, so avoid frost arrows or the Frostner. Obsidian arrows are pretty solid.

[visual radish]

Very fun when you do a ton of prep work for the fight, only to realize you forgot to switch out the frostner for a different weapon right as you go to attack.

[marble roost]

Best melee weapon against her I believe is fang spear or flesh rippers, but tbh any weapon but frostner does pretty well, she’s not resistant/weak to much

[coarse sorrel]

At least one food must be for stamina, and, i guess, frostres mead will be helpfull agains the biggest frost drake

[marble roost]

Well or a wolf or lox cape

[coarse sorrel]

Both?

Mead and cape

[willow raft]

Doesn't stack. Biggest is used. Both are the same though.

[marble roost]

And they give the same amount of resist

[weary crag]

does frozen resistance potions has any effect on her dmg btw?

[coarse sorrel]

So, after wolf cape frostres mead will become useless. Noted

[fathom badge]

Yes, but it doesn't add anything over a wolf chest/fenris chest/wolf cape resistance. If you're wearing one of those then it's not needed.

[weary crag]

and is silver armour better than iron for that case? ig yes AND should i go with the fenrir one or iron? (since my bro will just go w silver)

[weary crag]

ight got the cape so we chillin on that part

[marble roost]

Yea Moder will prob one shot you if you don’t have frost resist

[fathom badge]

I generally prefer Fenris, but I'm getting pretty good at dodge rolling and avoiding almost all damage so it's easier to do damage to her with it. Wolf armor is safer in general though and can tank more hits. If you're playing together, I'd suggest one person with Fenris and the other with wolf, fenris stays ranged and wolf draws aggro.

[willow raft]

Against her breath it certainly helps, not against her swipe or bite.

[weary crag]

oke since im a soulslike enjoyer imma go with fenrirs and die around 6 times

[marble roost]

Breath and frost barrage

You wouldn’t want to be in the mountains without frost resist under any circumstance tho. Freezing gives a SEVERE rebuff

[fathom badge]

The other thing to know about Moder is that she flies a good distance and REALLY likes destroying buildings and portals. So make sure your return portal is a very safe distance away. Take what you think is safe for most bosses and add another 100m or so, and hide it under a rock 😛

[coarse sorrel]

And you can use randomly placed ladders to bait her

[weary crag]

yeye im aware thats why the first thing we rushed for was a wolf cape

[fathom badge]

If you're into biome skipping, hunting lox isn't too difficult in root armor if you're good with your bow, and the lox cape is much cheaper silver-wise than the wolf cape.

[weary crag]

ye in ice we always make a cave base under a ruck 💀

wait one thing does the dragon takes more sharp or plunge dmg ?

and i wanted to ask wth is thunder stone? sm mage stuff or?

[marble roost]

same. It only takes extra damage from fire, and is immune to spirit and frost

[fathom badge]

You mean slash or pierce? Neither, it's got the same vulnerability to both. The thunder stone should have enabled a new build piece as well, if you have iron.

[visual radish]

You use it to evolve pikachu. On a serious note, it's used to build the obliterator, which lets you destroy any extra items you don't want to turn them into a small amount of coal.

[weary crag]

oh wait so should i rock with fire arrows (cheap and i hope thats the play) or should i go iron headed arrows? (not so cheap)

[weary crag]

oh oke thanks lemme buy the stone too to see what i get

what the heck is this xdd

[fathom badge]

The problem is that fire arrows do so little base damage that they don't actually outstrip the power of obsidian arrows. If you want to they are roughly equivalent, but they don't give a significant benefit at all at that stage of the game.

[fathom badge]

Don't build it near anything you want to keep in one piece 😛 Or do. I'm not the boss of you.

[weary crag]

offf bronze it is B)

[weary crag]

what do i get out of it tho?

[fathom badge]

Try it and see. It does as its name says, it obliterates anything placed into it. Like extra trophies and such you might have collected but don't actually need and are just cluttering up storage.

[lean vigil]

Whenever I try to log into a server this error appears to me, does anyone know how to resolve it?

[weary crag]

so waste of iron 😭

[fathom badge]

Not at all. You can always deconstruct it if you want to get your materials back and don't find what it does for you useful. I always build one. It obliterates things, but you aren't left with nothing 😉

[fathom badge]

Are you sure you have the server address right, and it's up and running?

[weary crag]

yummi

[weary crag]

bro ur bullying me litereally xd

[fathom badge]

Good, but this channel is generally for help not just posting images 😉 #screenshots if there's something you want to share.

[lean vigil]

yes. 😦

[weary crag]

ohh mbmb

[fathom badge]

The other options might be that there's a firewall or some other kind of networking issue between you and the server. Can other people connect to it?

[stoic trench]

Could just build/destroy it as needed 🙂

[lean vigil]

It's just me who can't connect to it, and also when I open a server, no one can connect to mine.

[halcyon crag]

VPN?

[fathom badge]

That definitely sounds like a networking issue unfortunately. VPN could cause it, or multiple layers of NAT, might be your ISP or firewalls anywhere between you and the server.

[weary crag]

silver knife or silver sword?

[stoic trench]

Hmm probably sword, if it’s just between those two. But ultimately depends on your play style.

[weary crag]

idk roll roll hit hit roll roll hit hit xd

[fathom badge]

If it's me I don't build either 😛 Iron mace through the mountains into Frostner in the Plains

[frail cave]

the silver sword's stats are balanced more generously than the knife's so if you're not already actively using either weapon type, the sword would be the better choice in this specific case.

generally that is, if you prefer one over the other, just pick that

[weary crag]

oke thanks i went for the big boy then

[fathom badge]

I really ought to use knives more, but I still get the majority of my knife skills from using the butcher knife

[pearl mortar]

Knives are so much fun. Especially at lower grades. The stamina it uses is negligible and special attack is awesome

Can almost one shot a troll with copper. Usually special attack to 3 hit does it

[weary crag]

that is wild but sadly i dont see a good use of them in like late late game

[fathom badge]

You do get the Skol and Hati in the Mistlands, but yeah... so many things being resistant to physical damage limits their usefulness

[pearl mortar]

Skol hati actually sucks. I was so disappointed. The problem is nothing is really weak to pierce at the later stages.

Running and knifing is decent for hares tho. And ticks ig but other than that...

[frail cave]

i heard they still perform surprisingly well in mistlands, but yea that's not an argument for them being well-balanced next to mistwalker and himmin afl

[marble roost]

Is anything weak to slash and blunt in the later stages?

I'd actually say that pierce is the only thing that mobs are weak to, specifically ticks. And then just weakpoints on Gjall and Soldier I think are weak to all physical damage?

[ember sluice]

seekers and soldiers are resistant to physical (pierce, slash, blunt) but knife is still effective if youve played that weapon from the beginning i think cuz its fairly easy to kite seekers and you can get a lit of hits in

[limpid cloak]

who can help me with error failed to connect? 2 helpers cant help me, pls

[frail cave]

yagluth is very resistant to pierce and the queen resists pierce but is neutral to blunt and slash.
ticks have 50 health so pretty much any weapon should oneshot them anyway.

[ember sluice]

good point. now i want to watch vid of someone taking on queen with aknife

[marble roost]

starred or higher difficulty ticks can take a couple hits, and if you're splitting the damage between multiple of the suckers (heh, suckers) they're bound to tank it. But yea ticks aren't a big threat

[frail cave]

unless you're using swords, which still lack multi-target penalty (fix it already, iron gate)
or the atgeir secondary

[ember sluice]

i wonder if they will make that change since that would sort of make 2h obsolete

[marble roost]

obsolete? I'd say the opposite

[frail cave]

kinda the opposite, it would make them releva-- yea

because two-handed swords DO have multi-target penalty

[marble roost]

If 2 handed weapons are made to be the only ones without cleave penalty, then that makes it a reason to go for 2 hand instead of 1 hand swords

[pearl mortar]

Maybe I'll try it out lol knives are quick but that fight is looong

[ember sluice]

i may be confused. i thought you were advocating for no multi hit penalty on one hand sword

[marble roost]

Nah advocating for it being removed. Currently it doesn't get a penalty

[frail cave]

one-handed swords used to have multi-target penalty like all other one-handed weapons, but they lost it in the mistlands update. coincidentally the same update that added two-handed swords.

[marble roost]

Knives are very good tho, I love them.

But yea most bosses got some hefty pierce resistances so it's usually not the move for boss fights

[frail cave]

my theory is that they meant to remove MTP from two-handed swords but accidentally did it to one-handed

[ember sluice]

oooohhh i did not know. definitly me being confused haha

[pearl mortar]

I'm guessing it's cause arrows do pierce and they wanna discourage simply kiting and shooting

[ember sluice]

i have yet to even craft a sword in any play through

[frail cave]

used to be the same for me until i discovered a powerful yet fun bug related to them. the moment that gets patched out, i'm going back to maining atgeirs and clubs

[pearl mortar]

Swords are good, I ended up using it more than knives later on cause it took out seekers much faster. Also has better range

[pearl mortar]

I'm curious what bug?

[ember sluice]

ive just always been a hammer/mace wielder. something about the visual or idea of it. big ole massive hammer just seems so badass

[marble roost]

Ye, which I’m a big fan of bc bow spam makes me vomit

Just feels bad that melee weapons have to suffer for it

What I hate tho is that they made bosses pierce resistant to make them hard to bow down but then have bows frost arrows so they can ignore the pierce resist

[frail cave]

there are many, many animation bugs in the game that can be exploited to do unusual attacks with weapons.
most are imo either too hard to execute to be reliably useful, or the opposite - too easy and powerful to the point where it just feels like cheating (well, all of them are technically cheating depending on your definition)
the only one that feels right to me is dodgeroll + secondary attack on swords, due to the way their animations blend together unlike all other weapons.
you get i-frames followed by full secondary attack damage, which is undeniably more powerful than doing either on their own 😅 but it looks too cool to pass up

[fathom badge]

I wish the bow skill did away with either the stamina or draw speed reduction. Having both as a reward for the skill is super OP.

[pearl mortar]

And while I love the crossbow, it only has pierce damage... Arrows got all the cool status effects.

[fathom badge]

Only pierce damage... so far 😉 Hopefully the Ashlands update adds some more ammo options

[marble roost]

I’d say halfing all the values of bow skill

[pearl mortar]

Dodgeroll out of special attack? And the hit still goes off?

Imma have to try that

[marble roost]

I’ve never been much of a sword user

[frail cave]

yea, you gotta press both at pretty much the exact same time, it's a tight window.

[limpid cloak]

?

[frail cave]

i can't, sorry, know nothing about network-related problems

[limpid cloak]

oh ok its fine

[marble roost]

I’ve had errors connecting to a friends server where I just had to try like 10 times and then it eventually worked. Happened frequently

[ember sluice]

dodge roll into stab feels right though so i support it. rolling into an axe or hammer smash is weird mechanically. maybe not though im no weapons expert

[marble roost]

I don’t support things that are OP

[frail cave]

ending an attack animation with a lot of forward momentum made swords feel so much more mobile and fun to me

[marble roost]

Not that I know all too much about the dodge stabs. From what I know they’re not tooooo easy to pull off, so it’s a decent reward for the investment to learn it. Using a macro for it seems cheaty to me tho

[ember sluice]

yall use macros?

[frail cave]

for testing purposes i do.
...well, now also in general because i had to find some way to replace my broken mousewheel

[fallen tartan]

In my hardcore world im wearing a full Iron armor (level 4), a banned shield (level 4 ) and i have the best food for the swamp, but i still cannot do a perfect block to an abomination. My only solution its dodge ?

[marble roost]

Ye

I’m assuming it’s a very hard mode world?

[stoic trench]

Is rolling into a stab an exploit? Kinda just feels like an advanced combat maneuver.

[fallen tartan]

Yes

[ember sluice]

you could go into other biomes for supplies

[marble roost]

Wait banded shield? I think with full level iron buckler, serpent stew, serpent meat, and sausages you could prob parry it. Not fully sure tho

Parrying is just rough on very hard. I still love it tho

[fallen tartan]

I need to test with the buckler 👍

[ember sluice]

one trick would be to lure it over the fire spout

[frail cave]

it kind of balances itself out by being hard to execute, but it's not an intentional feature to be able to combine some animations like that

oh yea, another small detail i like about that move: you can aim it with your movement inputs, so you don't have to be facing an enemy with your camera to hit it that way.

[marble roost]

Yea buckler def helps. Food is so important too tho. You can block a lot of stuff on triple health food (I recommend triple health for crypts)

[subtle parrot]

I've pulled it off on xbox with skol and hati many times, i wouldn't call it an exploit though

[marble roost]

Looks so cool with skol and hati

[marble roost]

I’d say exploit. You’re not supposed to be able to do it…

[subtle parrot]

It's a great weapon too

[marble roost]

Mhmm

I just wish skoll and hati and flesheippers would be better at parrying. I know how to dodge roll but I don’t like it

[limpid cloak]

how to fix failed to connect?

[limpid cloak]

hi dude i have same error too

[fathom badge]

The problem is that it's a very generic error that can be caused by many, many things. It can be getting the server name wrong, it can be your router, it can be your firewall, it could even be your ISP dropping traffic they don't like. If other people can connect to the server, the issue is likely with your machine or your networking setup at some level, but not related directly to Valheim unfortunately.

[swift lava]

I'm unable to open the Steam overlay, or take screenshots. Yes, I've got Steam overlay enabled in general settings, yes I got Steam overlay enabled for Valheim in particular, yes I've tried restarting Steam as admin. Is there some plausible general reason for this? I'm running the game through Mod Organizer, so this could be a modding issue, but I'm asking here first, since I don't know if it is or not.

[cosmic depot]

Hey everyone
Apparently I cant join any valheim servers when I try to it just says connection failed

[limpid cloak]

@fathom badge now i can join to others servers, i mean i saw community server where was 6 ppl and i joined to their server but cant join to friend server

Did it make the task easier now?

[fathom badge]

That sounds like there's some kind of network block between you and your friend, unfortunately. They might be blocking you unintentionally, could be a couple things. Or retrying like was suggested earlier. But it sounds like everything is working as expected in general, especially if you can connect to another server.

[marble roost]

I will say the saving grace is that it had great parrying capabilities with ||staff of protection|| synergy

[limpid cloak]

we dont know

[gloomy edge]

What's the difference between a parry bonus of 1.5x and 2.5x? the one with 2.5x has notably lower block armor, I guess it's multiplied by 2.5 on a successful parry?

[fathom badge]

Exactly. The multiplier is what the base block is multiplied by for calculating the parry effective block value.

[fathom badge]

I wish I had further ideas, but I'm kind of at a loss, there's just not much information. Checking the player.log file might have some information in it?

[limpid cloak]

PlayFab lobby matching search filter 'string_key10 eq '158.160.28.99:2456' and string_key2 eq 'True'': Got back zero lobbies , but its not my friend server, my friend use PlayFab (he just giving me code of server)

[fathom badge]

Yeah... that sounds like either a PlayFab error or an issue with the key from your friend. I don't know much about PlayFab in general though, unfortunately.

[terse sphinx]

is there a keybind for making just the toolbar dissapear, but not the rest of the hud?

i feel like i just accidently clicked something on my keyboard and it went away

but if i do ctrl + f3 it just takes away the rest and puts it back

[subtle parrot]

You have to clear the top row of items in your inventory

[limpid cloak]

@fathom badge i wanna try to join by IP but my friend dont know how, can u tell me pls?

he dont use dedicated server

[fathom badge]

He might be able to invite you through Steam like with most games

[terse sphinx]

ended up just being a mod causing the issue but thank you for advice, also is there a seperate section for modded advice?

[fathom badge]

#mods-issues and #mods-discussion 🙂

[subtle parrot]

Np, and yes, #mods-issues

[coarse sorrel]

OMG. First boss trophy on a wall TALK to me. Is it okay?

[subtle parrot]

They all will

[coarse sorrel]

Ha! Awesome!

[fathom badge]

So will the fish 😉

[frank moat]

i can ||tame a boar, can i tame a deer and make em reproduce ?||

[fathom badge]

Nope. There are some other tameable creatures, but none in the Meadows.

[weary crag]

btw can anybody expllain to me how does the finising work?

[fathom badge]

fishing? You want to have high stamina, buy the pole and some bait from Haldor, cast out with the attack button and reel in with the block button. When the fish is struggling stop reeling in because it drains your stamina more, and when first starting don't cast out far because you won't be able to reel in the fish with your stamina amount.

[weary crag]

DAMN thats a really hard way to fish aint it :(

[oblique hawk]

It sounds more complicated than it is.

The main thing is to make sure you have stamina. Three stamina foods is prefereable for fishing. You can also walk backwards inland to pull the fish without expending stamina on reeling.

And it's easier to catch fish closer to the shore where you don't have to reel them in as far,

[limpid cloak]

who by helpers know how to fix failed to connect error?

[pearl mortar]

Could you explain the issue more thoroughly? Is this your own server or someone else's or a dedicated server?

[keen glacier]

You mean the sword power attack combo? Idk, it kinda feels like a hidden feature to me 😂. Not that I use it (atgeir fan here), but I'm always super impressed when I see it

[keen glacier]

This trick works even better on a boat

[frail cave]

The way snail will throw a spear and immediately switch to a knife lunge, man talk about impressed when I see it

[marble roost]

Spears and knives are so fun

Once we beat Moder I need to make a black metal knife. Been using just spears for too long

[keen glacier]

I did knives on my last playthrough. Fun, yes - but mayb i'm just not very good with them... I find it difficult to combo into an enemy without taking a hit

[marble roost]

I mean, it’s been stated to be an animation cancelling glitch/exploit/bug

[keen glacier]

Oh... I wasn't aware

[marble roost]

I do think it’s pretty cool tho. I toyed around with it for a while once upon a time

[pearl mortar]

I've never used spears actually... Maybe like once early on but wasn't a fan of the toss

[marble roost]

Only thing is that once in a while I’d mess it up and that would make me vulnerable which just isn’t a risk that’s worth taking for me

[marble roost]

I’d say bows are just better in almost every way

[keen glacier]

One thing i'll say for spears... Nothing feels quite as badass as jumping up onto a Seeker Soldier's back after he does his ground slam and then hucking a spear into his backside. Sooooo epic! Herculean, even

[marble roost]

I’ll say tho I’ve come to enjoy the j sanely fast leveling of spears

[keen glacier]

I'd say the same for bows! Trick is to just not draw it back. Machine-gun fire by spamming left click in melee with the goal being just to loose as many arrows as possible, regardless of actual damage dealt. I can go 0 to 100 in bow in about 2 hours, assuming I have enough wood arrows made and ready to go

[marble roost]

Spears do hella damage once you get your spear skill up but damn is it hard to hit those long range sneak attacks.

And the alertness pulse from the spear is huge

[keen glacier]

True facts... The arc on spears (drop-off) feels a lot more severe. Hard to land those long range throws

And there is nothing quite like a Huntsman bow for the stealth pulls 😂

[marble roost]

Agreed. Spears just surprise me because they depart from the normal melee weapon leveling

[keen glacier]

more so than knives?

[marble roost]

Yea

[keen glacier]

oh... I'll have to test this

[marble roost]

Knives and spears level super quick due to their fast attack speed. But for some reason spears get 50% more xp per hit than all the other melee weapons

[keen glacier]

wow! that's huge

[marble roost]

I’m currently about to kill Moder and at 90+ spear skill

[keen glacier]

I've heard legends of people killing Moder with a spear. No idea how it works though, lol

[marble roost]

Granted it’s also a server with very slow settings so killing Moder is a lot of gameplay hours

[keen glacier]

very slow settings? huh?

[marble roost]

Walk up to her and left click? I think spears are the 2nd best weapon for her and just barely behind Flesh rippers

[keen glacier]

care to elaborate as to why?

[marble roost]

No map no portals 0.5 resources

And then hardcore very hard max raids but that doesn’t slow things down much

[keen glacier]

oooh yeah, the 0.5 resources. I never got behind that for hardcore playthroughs tbh. Feels so punishing

[marble roost]

At that point the strongest weapons you’ll have are silver weapons and all the other melee weapons split their damage into spirit which she’s immune to

[keen glacier]

especially when you're trying to wear Fenris gear and still die every once in awhile. That hair can be hard AF to replace

[keen glacier]

oh true... Spirit dmg so bad

[marble roost]

You get about the same amount of fenris hair on 0.5 resources bc it usually drops in stacks of 1, which can’t rly be rounded down

[keen glacier]

oh I see. Well that helps a bit

[marble roost]

I have so much fenris hair bc I’ve been visiting caves. Might have to donate some to my server members

[limpid cloak]

it is not dedicated server and not my own, it is my friend server and when he sending me code of server (Playfab) and when u trying to join i getting error failed to connect, other friends can join to him but not me

im disable full firewall, full anti virus but this is didnt help

[pearl mortar]

Hmm, wish I could help but I'm unfamiliar with playfab... It sounds like you're on PC though. Can you join through steam friends list?

[floral token]

@limpid cloak Where is your server running; is it dedicated or through your client; if dedicated, where is it located -- in-house or somewhere else?

Ah, sorry, you've answered that

[floral token]

Are you playing on a Xbox/Xbox Game Pass or Steam?

[limpid cloak]

Steam

[limpid cloak]

ye but when i trying to join im getting error * failed to connect *

[floral token]

how many concurrent players do they have on the server?

[limpid cloak]

2/10 (we are three but only i cant join in server, and they cant join to my server)

[floral token]

do you mind joining a VC call in a moment?

[limpid cloak]

srry but i can only tmrw because rn all sleep and im gonna go sleep soon, my pc is off

i can add u in friends because i can forget about it

[floral token]

regardless of the call, one thing you can do is attempt to connect to a different server you know of, just to eliminate factors. but it's likely some restriction on sending out/receiving UDP packets. If your router firewall has something called an "SPI Firewall," that can cause issues, as it default drops stateless UDP packets

Normally that would be configurable in the router if it has it.

[limpid cloak]

i have Microsoft defender, it is all what i know😅

I disable all my firewall and anti virus

[floral token]

But you likely also have a router in your house which isn't part of your computer, but what your computer is connected to in order to get internet

in your location*. That router also has a firewall.

[limpid cloak]

hmmmm

[floral token]

If you use ethernet, that would be the device that your ethernet cable is going from your PC to, or if you use wireless, that would be the device you're connected to over WiFi

[limpid cloak]

I haven’t done any similar tests with the router to understand the error

[limpid cloak]

I have router

[floral token]

yeah, so there are multiple layers to your personal computer security in most residential setups. First is the modem, second is a router (typically many ISPs have an all-in-one router modem they rent or sell to you these days), and last is your computer. Your computer itself has its own internal routing, but you've said you already disabled the Windows firewall, which should solve that from your computer's standpoint. But, the router still has a firewall, and that could be blocking it.

[limpid cloak]

By the way, another interesting fact that I realized. When I decided to go to any community server, at first I could go to any one, but after that I couldn’t. Although I had the firewall turned off, valheim enabled and antivirus turned off

[floral token]

after what?

There must have been something changed if it was connecting, then all of a sudden not being able to connect.

[limpid cloak]

After i cant join again idk why lol.

[floral token]

What changed?

[limpid cloak]

I think valheim just joking to me

[limpid cloak]

i mean Before this I could access community servers but now I can’t

[floral token]

Yeah, but what i'm saying is that something must have changed in your network or computer for that to change.

[limpid cloak]

or are there certain servers that I can go to.

[limpid cloak]

No, nope

[floral token]

There is no magic when it comes to computers, it's all based on logic formed using elecricity

[limpid cloak]

By the way, I had a theory with DNS that my friend should have the same DNS setting (8.8.8.8; 8.8.4.4) as me so that I could access him, but I think this is absurd

[floral token]

that doesn't need to be the case, but it does remove parts of the equation from the DNS setup, which is actually good for testing purposes

[vestal gull]

How do you upgrade your workbench?

[floral token]

however, that really depends on if the DNS host is actually being changed or not, if it's sitting at the same record for a while, that shouldn't be the issue.

by DNS host, what I mean is a.b.com -> 1.2.3.4, not the nameserver

[floral token]

Check out your build menu with your hammer, there are some workbench attachments you can make, those will upgrade your workbench 1 level for each attachment.

The first ones need flint and wood, and flint + leather scraps + deer hide + wood.

[limpid cloak]

then I will briefly say that attempts with the firewall, anti virus and with valheim permission in exception applications, they do not work, I did everything from this but it does not work, (even combined (disable firewall + disable anti virus)) it does not work

[floral token]

but you haven't checked the router, so you haven't completely disabled the firewall.

[limpid cloak]

but i dont know how to check it

[floral token]

because even if you disable the firewall on your computer, the firewall on the router is still in place

you login to your router with admin credentials.

[limpid cloak]

in the website ?

[floral token]

correct, it depends on your router and your network setup what the proper website address to use is

However, you were saying that you were at one point able to connect to some community servers, which leads me to believe your router firewall isn't the issue, because you haven't touched it yet.

[versed pivot]

Hello I’m new to Valheim, ran into a bug where my cursor isn’t visible when I enter the game

[fathom badge]

At all? It does replace the cursor. Have you updated your graphics drivers, make sure you don't have a custom profile for Valheim or anything?

[versed pivot]

Was playing last night fine but for some reason today it isn’t showing up

[floral token]

Which operating system are you using? Windows, Linux

[versed pivot]

Windows

[brave lantern]

Why does one identical side of my building not let me place roofs but the other does? Makes no sense

[oblique hawk]

A picture would let people see what prevents the roof building.

But probably just lack of support.

[fathom badge]

Best guess is that even if the shape is identical that the side you're trying to attach it to is more connections away from a ground (blue) connected piece. Support in Valheim isn't really architectural like it would seem, it's based on type of material and number of connections away from a solid surface (rock, tree, etc.)

[brave lantern]

Alright I'll look at that, it's possible I guess

[fathom badge]

Biggest hint is to look at the colors of the pieces when your hammer is out. The color is how much support they have, starting at blue, going through green all the way to red, and when it's red it's as far away from a blue piece as can be supported.

[shrewd sun]

Is it genuinely worth building a base in the swamp?

[frail cave]

Let’s tag @fathom badge for an expert opinion

I think pita is the swamp base advocate

[sturdy folio]

I'd say yes based on a few factors

• Unbreakable trees count as great support for base structures
• Easy Iron / tool stations
• Enemy spawns unlocked after defeating bosses don't seem to spawn in the swamp, so most peaceful in that regard

[marble roost]

I like to build bases right next to iron rich swamps. Bonus points if there's a tall mountain nearby too

Haven't tried much for building it IN the swamp tho

[fathom badge]

Pretty much that. I like the atmosphere in general, and wraiths are fun to hunt

[shrewd sun]

How much damage do wraiths do to stone?

[fathom badge]

It is also generally worth bringing some copper with on the first trip to the swamps so you can make iron nails before leaving and make a much bigger boat to haul more back on the initial trip

Wraiths hit hard at their level

[shrewd sun]

In that case, can you grow eitr food in the swamp or is that a no go?

[sturdy folio]

and have quite a reach 😛

[shrewd sun]

My goal for the questions is a solid central base that I can focus my resources on without having to be too close to the plains or mountains. As much as I hecking love snow, there aren't many aerial defenses outside of the ballista, and that's late game.

[fathom badge]

No, the only thing that grows in the swamps are turnips

[shrewd sun]

I also love eitr and magic and stuff

I know I'm not making this easy. I do apologize

Actually, I think I'm stuck building a mistlands base, then making a portal hub to the other biomes.

Eh, I'll sort something out

[reef flame]

I cant get rid of this fish help me

[clever anvil]

My game is unplayable because I'm having problems with fps and it's not my computer that's weak. My computer runs games 3x stronger than Valheim, and I was playing Valheim with high fps until then, but out of nowhere I started getting a frame rate of 30/35 fps and now it's getting worse, it's dropping to 9. I tested it by removing the graphics, and even with the rendering rate at zero it still has extremely low fps. Does anyone know what it is?

[spare badger]

You are using mods when the problem occurs correct? For help with modded games we use the #mods-issues or #mods-discussion channels in this discord

[clever anvil]

Currently I'm using mods that only change some things in the game without adding monsters or other big things, but even before playing without mods I was already having this problem with fps.

My computer even runs Warzone on Epico, but I'm having this problem on Valheim

[cosmic sinew]

is there somewhere that lists what future biomes are going to be added / expanded on?

i'm worried about exploring too much of one of my seeds if there are more biomes going to be implemented but that i miss out on them / there's not enough unexplored area for them to be added to the world [like if you explored too much of a seed before mistlands was implemented and had to generate a new world - i believe that was how it worked? i'm not super certain 😅 ]

[sturdy folio]

Ashlands and Deep North are next

and potentially the Ocean biome will be reworked

[halcyon crag]

just Ashlands and Deep north, extreme north and south of the map

[sturdy folio]

not exactly confirmed but mentioned

[cosmic sinew]

beautiful ty y'all 'v'

[sturdy folio]

✌️

[true steeple]

The ocean biome?
If so, where?

[lilac coyote]

It's the wet bit.

[sturdy folio]

#valheim-public-test message

[true steeple]

Thanks

[sturdy folio]

but again, not confirmed

just mentioned

[buoyant peak]

Real question is when exactly will ocean be developed...

[sturdy folio]

Joking here - before Deep North 😈

Odd ping but sure

Satisfactory?

not a fan of the large scale cobblestone path tho

[reef flame]

Ah I see, dw

[buoyant peak]

Hopefully

[pale kindle]

🥹

[proper sage]

1 channel was enough -- do they possibly have a controller plugged in?

[pale kindle]

nope

keyboard and mouse

[proper sage]

Does it [only] happen in fullscreen?

[pale kindle]

she didnt load in fullscreen at first so then she changed it while her mouse was invisible which was hard and then restarted adn even then it wont show up

[proper sage]

Have they tried running the game in DX instead of Vulkan [or vice-versa]?

[pale kindle]

let me tell her

[pearl mortar]

There's supposed to be a cursor? 👀 I only know of the crosshair

[pale kindle]

didnt work

:((

[woven narwhal]

hi, ive been trying to open the game but the only things that happens is a small grey window that pops up

ive tried reinstalling and verifying game files

[static finch]

can i take a cart through a portal?

[lilac coyote]

Not in one piece, no.

[reef flame]

why is there random rocks in the ocean 🤔

[green mica]

i still have my issue of no audio files

[visual radish]

Because you aren't actually in the ocean, as seen on the map. You're in a somewhat shallow section of a black forest that just happened to generate out away from land.

[fathom badge]

Do you have any mods installed? Have you ever?

[woven narwhal]

im new

[fathom badge]

I'll take that as a no. What GPU? Updated your drivers?

[woven narwhal]

4060 brand new drivers
