[ripe ivy]

type "devcommands" first, then next "env clear"

[next zephyr]

Yea, I've tried that and it didn't work.. BUT, I read some older comments. Apparently this Mist isn't like normal environment (rain,fog,etc). I use command "forcedelete 50 MistArea" instead and it works

[ripe ivy]

OH interesting

good to know

[next zephyr]

so I tried to log out and log in back, and the Mist doesn't spawn back. Lol, guess it's quite permanent then

[sturdy folio]

removing mist will affect your game's/pcs performance 😛 (supposedly as mentioned by smiffe)

[next zephyr]

In a bad way? Alright, noted

[sturdy folio]

yeah

[next zephyr]

@ripe ivy @sturdy folio Thanks btw!

[sturdy folio]

[ripe ivy]

yee!! :3

[leaden bolt]

anyone ever had trouble getting forecedelete to work?

specifically with a radius

[gloomy edge]

Yeah. I just use a mod if I really want to delete something. It's just safer

Once I tried to forcedelete 500 deathsquitos and the whole world went pitch black

[keen zodiac]

The blackmarble staircase leading down in the infested mines are destructible, right?
Imagine exploring the mine and while clearing it out a seeker soldier destroys it, how will we get out of there?

[frail cave]

the max radius of forcedelete is 50 meters, any numbers higher than that will still just affect 50 meters.

[frail cave]

i believe only the railings are, but i could be wrong.

[frail cave]

are you putting the radius before the ID?

[keen zodiac]

Yeah I was unsure about that cause I've seen only the railing broken but the stairs were also like repairable if we could place a stonecutter there

[crystal frigate]

Is Mistlands always like this or just it sucks for me?
It's just mountains and with a lot of lakes and rivers

[frail cave]

shallow sea areas that are covered by mistlands become archipelagos, the main land shouldn't have any water.

[barren seal]

If I go there, how can I get back to the ship easily?

I am scared that once I go there the boat will drift away from the waves or smthing

[gloomy edge]

it wont!

[barren seal]

So do I just exit it jump to the island and then use the ladder to get back?

[gloomy edge]

yes. Make sure you have enough stamina

[barren seal]

I left the control (but still was on the boat) and it moved backwards (wind the winds direction)

[gloomy edge]

Once you step off the boat it'll stop and they won't drift off, they'll only shift if they're bumped by another moving object (like the island)

[willow raft]

You can park right next to it with some finagling and a small bump against it.
Have your best pickaxe with you and have some stamina potions.
Keep mining till you can't mine anymore, pop stamina pot and swim back to boat.

[barren seal]

Wait u don't regen stamina on that island?

[willow raft]

You do but if you use stamina for any reason you might not have enough to swim back to your boat, so the stamina potions are for backup.
If you start drowning you stop swimming, pop stamina pot and get back to your boat.
If you have some with you, you don't have to care about your stamina and can mine as fast as you can, as long as you can.

[barren seal]

Oh alr, I have some small stamina pots I could use, so I will just mine, wait for it to fully regen and then go to the boat, thx

It started doing something and I think it's moving? do I run back to the boat?

I got 30 chitin for harpoon, so technically I don't need more (unless there r other useful stuff I can make with it)

[gloomy edge]

usually I just keep mining away even when they start sinking

[barren seal]

How will I get to the boat then?

[gloomy edge]

That's what stamina pots are for. For me I don't need them, I just eat high stamina foods

[willow raft]

Keep on mining till you can't anymore, then swim as close as you can to the boat.
If you think you can make it to the boat without drowning keep on swimming, else stop and pop a stamina potion and swim to your boat.

Extra cheesy: Log out, go to another world, let stamina regenerate, log back into this world and swim to your boat.

[barren seal]

About swimming mechanics, how low do I get my stamina before I pop a pot?

Oh ok nvm, got to the boat, didn't get the chance to mine any more tho, it sunk to fast

Got 52, and I think from my calculations for razor + harpoon I need 190 total?

I see another one on the horizon I can loot, are these "mobs" in terms of spawning mechanics (so do I just gotta sail until it decides to spawn, or is it location based so I will need to explore a different ocean to find them?

[halcyon crag]

just keep sailing to find more

[willow raft]

When your stamina is depleted you start "drowning" if you keep swimming, you can stop swimming and hover in the water and you won't drown.
So I mostly swim till I'm almost dead, stop moving pop a stamina pot or health pot and get to the boat.

[halcyon crag]

the game generates this kind of thing when you enter new chunks

[barren seal]

If I loaded them, then unloaded them, can it re-generate, or does it need to be new unexplored ones?

[barren seal]

Alr thx

[halcyon crag]

new unexplored, and bear in mind the generated area is 9x9, loaded is 5x5 and active is 3x3

once generated and loaded that's it it stays like that forever (barring POI shuffles/updates)

[frail cave]

Hello so I just logged back on my world and all of a sudden I have no assets like nothing no trees no rocks nor my buildings, im on Xbox can anyone help ?

[halcyon crag]

#xbox-bugs-discussion 👍

[barren seal]

Oh ffs it started raining, I think I will wait for it to stop so I don't get the debuff stamina

[barren seal]

If it generated bt not loaded, can it re-generate?

[halcyon crag]

no it just doesn't use the generated assets until loaded

to prevent players having hundreds of dungeons or whatever causing lag

[barren seal]

I assume active is where game ticks are processed (like spawning mobs, mobs ai etc, loaded ig is no ai, no processing but still visible, and generated is to (generate obv) chunks so there is a buffer to not have to generate on-the-spot when loaded?

[halcyon crag]

to make the loading process as smooth as it can be yes

not sure that's the precise order but it's along those lines

[barren seal]

What's the strat against serpents, one just started attacking me

Scared that it will destroy the boat

[willow raft]

You are in a karve right? You sail with the wind to the nearest land mass.
If you want to fight them and get all their loot you either go to the nearest land mass and drag em ashore with the harpoon or plink with the bow and deliver the killing blow with another weapon while jumping at them.

[barren seal]

I am on a longship, and I was going upwind, so I will have to turn around to go downwind

I don't have an harpoon, I have a huntsman bow if that helps, will I be able to fight it in the sea by just shooting at it, or is it like a mini-boss that will destroy my ship before I destroy it?

[willow raft]

In a longship with a huntsman bow you should have enough time to kill it before it wrecks your ship. If you want all the loot you'll have to land the killing blow with another weapon while jumping at it.
As long as you can out sail it it will stop chasing you after a while.

[barren seal]

If I intend to fight, do I go along the wind (so between upwind/downwind)?

[willow raft]

You can try sailing, shooting, sailing again or just park the boat and duke it out.

[barren seal]

Also my ship is slightly damaged already (from 2 attacks, soon to be 3, and some rock dmg I got a while ago)

[willow raft]

That is hardly any damage should be ok.

[barren seal]

What loot does it give, I know it has some good food but that's a consumable (so it will just be used after a while) is there anything else that's more permanent?

Also r fire arrows good against it cuz that's all I have, idk it's a water creature so I assume it's either resistant against it or weak against it?

Oh ffs, I think it was like on 10% hp and it just lost interest, is it worth chasing it or do I not risk it and just go to repair my ship cuz it's at like 50% dmg

Decided to just leave it so I can repair it

[willow raft]

Scales for a shield, meat and a nice looking trophy, the meat will float the rest will sink.

[barren seal]

oo scales, went back to shore, I will craft an harpoon for next time, so next time if I want to lead it to land, is there a speed where you go fast enough for it to not be able to attack but slow enough for it to not lose interest?

[willow raft]

Let it take a nibble occasionally and it will keep on following you or if you have a decent lead, plink an arrow in it and it will keep following as well.

[barren seal]

What's a lead plink?

[naive pewter]

Take a bow, shoot an arrow
Congrats you just defeated serpent

[lilac coyote]

Think there's a comma intended between those words.

[willow raft]

If you have a lead meaning you are a good bit in front of the serpent and you have enough time to stop sailing, shoot an arrow and get back to sailing before the serpent gets to you.

[willow raft]

Indeed, fixed.

[glad moss]

is there any way to get rid of the ogre... or at least get him to stay away

i've built like 3 houses and he comes and knocks them all down

[willow raft]

Trap him in a hole will stop new ones spawning nearby.
Making a moat or an earthen wall around your base can also help.

[glad moss]

oh snap. that is a great idea

thank you!

[gloomy sand]

Hi Im new here. I have a question. I had a backup of my world. It was last played some time in 2022 or early 2023 on a dedicated server hosted by a thirdparty. I had downloaded the world before closing the server so I didn't have to pay for it anymore. My friends and I decided to play again just with me hosting the server the normal way, but apparently my server is an old file. It is missing meta information. Is this a fixable problem and how would you guys suggest going about it? I have look into it and my idea was to find a legacy version of the game and launch it, but im unable to find a legacy version of the game so far. Any ideas would be appreciated

[willow raft]

That means a file that is needed to make your world is missing and if you can't get on the original machine where you got the files from I'm sad to say you won't be able to recover your world.
@lapis terrace I hope I'm wrong about this. Can you shed more light?

[lapis terrace]

uum. those could be fixed in a few diffrent ways

[lilac coyote]

It was quite a common fix at the time. Though of course with the hack I can't look back and check. Hopefully Smiffe or someone else will be able to help.

[willow raft]

Glad I was wrong.

[shy shard]

do I need a source of fire for chicken?

for hatching the eggs *

[willow raft]

To go from egg to chicken you need a roof and a protected fire, meaning a fire the chickens can't walk into.

A coop with a blocked off fireplace that is accessible from outside works well.

[shy shard]

Thanks !

How big should my chicken area be ? We're multiplayer 3 people

[barren seal]

Oh I see, what I did was to just shoot at it while the boat was sailing

[shy shard]

are my chickens gonna walk into that

[willow raft]

They shouldn't unless they stack up which sometimes happens.

[shy shard]

Chickens steem very intelligent when it comes to finding ways to burn themselves

[willow raft]

You have no idea. I usually make a fire behind a wall, the warmth will go trough the wall and I feed the fire from the outside.

[crystal frigate]

It feels impossible to find Infested mines

I can't even find them while having the location on the map

[willow raft]

I also found it hard to find them in the beginning but once you realize they are under black marble buildings with seekers in or nearby or under mountains with 4 peaks and most are found near water, it gets easier.

[crystal frigate]

I found like 4 empty black marble buildings but only one of them had an infested mine under it

The fog makes it even worse
As i can't even scout my surroundings from top of a mountain or smth

[gloomy sand]

thanks for the responses.
@lapis terrace Apologises for the @ if its inappropriate. what do you suggest for fixing the issue i spoke about earlier?

[willow raft]

Yeah they are rare but there is no need to scan the whole area, only black marble buildings with seekers near and the ones under the 4 peaks have a long staircase leading up to them.
I found almost all of them close to the shore with a very small percentage more inland.

[barren seal]

@tough hare these were destroyed and there was a neck exactly where it got destroyed

[crystal frigate]

Hmmmm
Is it possible to somehow deal with the fog? Even with wisplight it obscures my sight

[willow raft]

Not really, only with mods.
You can get high on a peak and have a look around and sometimes the mist clears up and you can have a look down as well.

[lapis terrace]

did you grab both the .db file and .fwl file?

[gloomy sand]

i have the .db, i do not have the .fwl

[lapis terrace]

oh 😦

[gloomy sand]

not looking good aha?

[lapis terrace]

erm

.fwl is kind of important

looking for a sollution

[snow iron]

for Bonemass, does it make sense to have both poison resist mead and the root set? how the game calculates percentages

[alpine geode]

I didn't tryed both so far but if you have one resist you just take about 1. something dmg per tick. And bonmass poison is like the normal poison of bloops. So I think it doesn't make sense, but i can't say for shure.

Does anybody know how to heal boars? I know I have to feed them, and I did but the green indicator you see while haeling shows me +0 every tick. Do I have to do someting else?

[weary crag]

um what is this and how do i enter

[stoic trench]

Oh nice! That’s a mini dungeon, you enter ||from the top, you have to build to get up there.||

[rustic salmon]

Sealed tower, and yes, see what TooMuchDogg said.

[weary crag]

offf piann

[wind needle]

Hello guys, I have a problem with disappearing ship. It's just disappearing, there is no items left. Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

[rustic salmon]

Mobs are breaking it and everything is sinking?

[marble roost]

or mobs are breaking it and you leave it for long enough for items to despawn

[wind needle]

Ship was on shallow water each time

[lost swift]

Poison mead gives you max poison resist and the root mask doesn't add to that.

[oblique hawk]

Yeah resistances don't stack, if you have two the strongest effect is used.

[fathom badge]

||You can actually get in some of the side balconies pretty easily, you don't have to climb all the way up||

[fathom badge]

Given the gear and food you have there, I would highly suggest you mark the location and return later.

[weary crag]

ye dw i have no balls to go in yet hahahah

[lusty tusk]

best weapon for mistlands?

[scenic goblet]

hello, me and my friends want to play together but we always got incompitable version, i told them to update the game but they says it's up to date, but the version is clearly not up to date how do i fix this?

[subtle parrot]

The mead trumps the mask, the mask doesn't give any extra

[marble roost]

I haven’t used mask much but I wonder how efficient it is. Is it only the damage tick that is lower than poison mead? Bc I know poison mead SIGNIFICANTLY lowers poison duration. If mask lowers it the same amount then it might not be that bad

But yes poison mead is best, and they don’t stack

[subtle parrot]

Are one of you on the PTB?

[fair wharf]

@scenic goblet .43 is PTB update, .38 is a normal update iirc. Both are the current version, for the game. The two are incompatible however. Either you or your friends need to change to either all "regular" or all Test" versions to play together

[scenic goblet]

oh yeah turn out i got the ptb, i turn to regular now, thanks

[crystal frigate]

How can i spawn proof an area in Mistlands?

Whenever i go to collect my sap i get ganked by a Gjall and a Seeker soldier

[last scroll]

how would i best prepare for the first boss? e.g what armour should i have and items etc

[jolly furnace]

Just a bow is usually enough, if you want to be extra prepared i'd say use leather armor and fire arrows

[pearl mortar]

Build workbenches and campfires, they prevent spawns in a radius

[fathom badge]

They prevent spawns in a sphere. There's no way to really prevent air spawns. That's why you cannot really spawnproof a base against bats or drakes.

[marble roost]

Do those mobs spawn mid air? I always thought they spawned on the ground or underwater and then ascended

[halcyon crag]

or very close to ground at least

[proven salmon]

I've heard that if the Ashlands world chunks are already rendered in your world that when the Ashlands update drops that the new stuff won't update properly. I hope I worded that in a coherent way.. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

[halcyon crag]

explored areas will only generate the terrain and mobs, no POI's or clutter, spoiling a small bit shouldn't be too bad but it's best to avoid the area until the update drops

[proven salmon]

Thank you! We just started a new server and I wanted to confirm this - everyone is fine with avoiding the area until the update but I didn't want to tell people not to explore down there arbitrarily

[shell pivot]

Hello, I have a problem. I don't see the mouse cursor at all when I run Valheim after formatting the computer either

[fathom badge]

I believe that's an issue with a Windows Insider update that happened recently, and has been fixed with another update. Were you running any preview/insider builds, and have you updated those recently?

[shell pivot]

I have some updates to update, but I don't remember exactly what update I downloaded, and is there any way to fix it?

[fathom badge]

The only fix I have heard is to get the latest Windows updates. It's not a Valheim thing, it's a Windows thing when a program changes the cursor.

[shell pivot]

Okey Thanks

[fathom badge]

Getting off the insider builds is also a likely fix. That kind of thing is a product of being on the insider track a lot of times, weird bugs.

[noble terrace]

hello i STILL have the problem since a week, that neither me or my friends can connect to any servers... any Ideas?

[fathom badge]

Are they all Playfab servers? Unfortunately, Valheim is about as basic as it gets with networking, if you can't connect there's an issue with either the server or client networking setup

[noble terrace]

oh okay

any ideas on how long the playfab servers will be down?

[lilac coyote]

Are they down?

[noble terrace]

well they are not working so I assume

[subtle parrot]

Site says they're operational

[lilac coyote]

Well, their status page suggests there are no issues.

[fathom badge]

I think that Playfab (Crossplay) is currently operating, I'm just trying to get some info on what bugs you're experiencing

[noble terrace]

mhmmm okay, last week there was no issue but then all of a sudden there was nothing possible anymore

[fathom badge]

Because lots of people are currently running Valheim on servers in many different manners, so it seems like it's something mostly specific to you and your friends

[noble terrace]

do you suggest anything to fix this issue?

[fathom badge]

Fix your networking? It's like asking why your car doesn't run with no further information.

[noble terrace]

oh okay 🫣

[fathom badge]

What servers have you tried? Are you running your own? Renting one? Trying to connect through Crossplay to one player? Passwords failing? Connections failing? What changed in the setup since last time since Valheim hasn't had any changes and the servers are not run centrally.

[noble terrace]

We have one dedicated server (wich does not work) and hosting my own server does not work. We are always getting "unable to connect to server" and nothing at the setup changed

[fathom badge]

So, how are you hosting the server? It sounds like maybe your ISP may be blocking the server or your external IP address may have changed under you. Can you start a game regularly, start server (without crossplay) and invite one of your friends via Steam, make sure the Valheim networking in general is working?

[noble terrace]

i can not invite someone to a server i host

[lapis terrace]

do you have your character still from the time you played on the server?

[noble terrace]

yes i do

[fathom badge]

How about Crossplay then? Start your game with a local character and world, just select "Start Server" and make sure "Crossplay" is selected, then send the code to a friend and see if you can connect to each other that way.

[noble terrace]

ok will try thank u

[bright reef]

is this not too close for the carrot to grow?

it says healthy so it means it will grow no problem?

[marble roost]

should yea, looks good!

[bright reef]

it will instantly update to tell me i need more room to grow if i had placed it closer ya? i notice i can just use the fence log as a way to get a good idea on placing these?

[fathom badge]

Just be careful with them right by a fence like that, Greydwarf shamans will use their poison through the fence and destroy them. It will sometimes take a couple seconds to tell you if there's a problem with a plant, but if you've waited over 30s they should all be accurate.

[bright reef]

is this too close ? (left side)

[fathom badge]

Plants need 1m between them, and they will complain if any structure or buried rock is too close. The bigger risk is that an enemy can see through the roundpole fences and will attack the fence and the crops if they can see them, so just be aware of that.

[bright reef]

yea was wondering how far away do i need to place the carrots from the fence for enemies not to be able to touch em?

[fathom badge]

About 4-6m. What I often do is make multiple layers of fencing, put the big stakewalls further out making an actual wall, and then the roundpole fences are more decorative.

[vague goblet]

Depends on the enemy type, I think 6M is probably the safest bet without getting absurd.

[keen zodiac]

The crops themselves will update it in a moment with a message saying "need more room to grow" if it needs, otherwise it's fine.

[bright reef]

thanks guys! ill do what pita suggested as i was going to need to work on my base outer layers anyways

btw im doing mining and i remember reading somewhere that if i dig around the copper deposit it will spawn more copper? is this true

[fathom badge]

Nothing makes more copper spawn, but digging around it can help you make sure you don't miss any. It also keeps you safer if you make the steep ledges, keeps the trolls and greydwarves up high.

[snow iron]

I got iron sledge, would you craft iron mace (and shield I guess) just for bonemass?

[marble roost]

Yea, a lot of copper is usualyl just hidden under the ground so you dig to uncover it

[bright reef]

ahh ok ty

[marble roost]

I'd say a mace will be worth the investment. Shield isn't really necessary for him, better to dodge his attacks

Sledge can cheese him at basically no risk, but it's boring

[snow iron]

cheese him how? you mean that I can actually knock him back or what?

[fathom badge]

The sledge is enough to handle Bonemass, but the iron mace will help a lot with enemies in the Mountains, specifically rock monsters

[marble roost]

People sometimes go on top of the skull that summons him, and start slamming. I believe he can't hit you when you're standing on the middle of the skull but you can hit him

[snow iron]

yeah I guess sledge is clumsy vs the golems

might just get a mace after all

[true steeple]

Mace + banded shield is very good going into mountains

[snow iron]

is there a way to prevent enemies from spawning near my house?

it's quite the small town and would cost me thousands of wood to enclose with spikes

[marble roost]

A lot of items stop mobs spawning nearby. Workbench, campfire, torch, etc. All block spawns in 20m radius (same radius as circle shown around workbench.

Campfires won't get hit by mobs which is nice

[forest spindle]

Player built structures like craft tables make it so mobs don’t spawn within its radius

[snow iron]

could do that, so I'll just place a 2x1 tiny shack with a craft table

will try that later on

[forest spindle]

Good luck

[true steeple]

Why do you need to enclose it with spikes? By not making a wall, there will be nothing for the enemies to break to reach you.

So you don’t need to defend anything but yourself

[snow iron]

it's just annoying cuz they constantly come and hit my boat etc

[keen zodiac]

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

[light rune]

bro how was there a random player flying in my PRIVATE valheim world
with full mountain gear

[real nebula]

did you start the game as a community server?

[true steeple]

With an easily guessable password?

[keen zodiac]

Make sure that you saw it correct, press F2 and see if it shows there that 2 or more player is connected. If not then you probably had a bad dream.

[fast cape]

How does this carrot farming thing work, like after they've grown to full carrots, is there a way to re-plant them or do we just have to look for the seeds again?

[real nebula]

you can replant a carrot into a carrot flower, which yields 3 seeds

[fast cape]

aha I see ty

[ripe ivy]

I'm trying to start a new game and its loading for 20 minutes, until the game isnt responding. Suggestions?

[lilac coyote]

Wait until it responds.

[ripe ivy]

more than 20 minutes lol?

[vapid warren]

are you alt tabbing while its happening?

[ripe ivy]

no its left on a black screen :(

I deleted my old games. Wanted to start all over. Restarted the game. Now cant load a new one.

[vapid warren]

new worlds and worlds that havent been updated with new content usually takes a while to generate locations, though i dont think i've heard of 20 minutes, but it'll usually freeze and say its not responding for some time before working properly

[ripe ivy]

hokay I'll restart my pc/steam.

and then let it do its thing

thankyou ill try again

[vapid warren]

yeah, if not i can probably generate it for you, since it only needs to be do once until new stuff is added

[ripe ivy]

That did it. It loaded in about a minute

thankyou for help!

[vapid warren]

nice, have fun!

[reef flame]

When taming a lox, how far away can me and my friend move away?

[vague goblet]

They have to be rendered in order to tamed

[static finch]

How do I feed my tamed Lox? I'm dropping cloudberries infront of him and he does not want it

[vague goblet]

He has to have a status that says hungry

[static finch]

oh got it, tossed them on the floor for a third time and he finally moved

[fathom badge]

Lox are blind and fairly dumb. They need to be almost standing on top of the food to see it.

[reef flame]

I know that.

[vague goblet]

So as long as that area is rendered you're good. I don't think there's a specific distance outside of that.

[elder pulsar]

Hey, is there a bath in a game? Aside from creativity near water sources and levels

[rustic salmon]

There’s a hot tub

[dawn valley]

i cant open valheim and keep getting this, can anyone help me?

[lilac coyote]

Probably mods.

[dawn valley]

mods dont get deleted when reinstall?

[lilac coyote]

No. You have to do that manually.

[dawn valley]

its the file inside bepinex right?

in the plugin folder

[lilac coyote]

It's any files that were added by mods. It's easier to just delete the whole Valheim folder.

[dawn valley]

this whole folder?

[lilac coyote]

Ugh, Vortex. Definitely.

[dawn valley]

oh, alright, thank you

[elder pulsar]

Yassss...

[crystal frigate]

How do you improve Galdr table to level 3 and black forge to 4?

[keen zodiac]

Really? But in my case they can detect if there are any player dropped food nearby even if it was dropped far from it.

[keen zodiac]

Using table enhancements, currently both galdr table and black forge can be upgraded to maximum level 3

[crystal frigate]

Why my mistland stuff have tier 4 upgrade when it's impossible 💀

[keen zodiac]

You probably cheated to get it.

In next updates there'll be level 4 upgrade enhancements for these, that's why now it shows that you could upgrade to level 4 if the corresponding table was level 4

[crystal frigate]

No i mean i don't have it
But i have the option to upgrade my Mistwalker to tier 4 but i can't

[keen zodiac]

Yeah that's what i meant in the second phase of my reply, with feature updates there'll be new upgrade building using which you'll be able to upgrade it to level 4

[carmine mountain]

Do multiple base scrutures count towards the amount needed for a raid to happen? for example would 3 crafting benches count as needed for an event

[wide crescent]

I realy have no idea what you are talking about. From my knowledge raids have an X chance to happen every I forgot how many minutes, and if you are at ur base (close to ur spawn bed) the chance is higher

and recently I found some events dont spawn in any biome, ex: "hello gjall" cant be activated while in meadows or swamp*

[jovial ledge]

I made an item by mistake. Can I load a previous save in my singleplayer game?

i tried to close the game via task manager hoping to start from latest save, but it saved on exit anyway

[true steeple]

The same thing happens with bronze when using black forest forge upgrades

[keen zodiac]

Yes it's minimum 3 Base structure for raid trigger but I'm not sure if same type of build piece does the same

[keen zodiac]

Are you sure? Haven't noticed anything like that.

[crystal frigate]

Is Jotun Bane a good option for woodcutting?(alongside fighting)

[willow raft]

Anyone got any idea why I can see post that are younger then two days in #1024264966712340510 but @shut shale only sees posts 2 days old and older?

[shut shale]

I fixed it mate. This may be a decent bug report for the server. Upon joining I couldn't see posts more recent than 2 days and I have to kill discord and reboot it to get new posts in #1024264966712340510

[willow raft]

I used it for chopping wood and does a good job. It will chop wood a tad faster than blackmetal axe.

[crystal frigate]

Noice
I love the variety of weapons in Mistlands

[gloomy sand]

Yes

[rocky locust]

How i can remove water for a small area

With commands

[lilac coyote]

A 'base' is defined by 3 or more player base items within 40m of the player. And yes, they can all be the same.

[lilac coyote]

You can't. Water is at a fixed height across the map.

[light rune]

it said there was someone whose name was random gibberish idk

[lapis notch]

how broke stones

[fluid coral]

you need pickaxe, you will get the material for it from first boss Eikthyr

[subtle parrot]

Yes, you always have the "option" to upgrade your equipment to the next tier. (Unless it's already max). But if you don't have the materials or proper level of workbenches then you can't select the option to upgrade even though you can see it. It will show red on the star if your workbench isn't the proper level to upgrade the equipment. I believe that's what blob meant.

[lapis terrace]

Good. Send me the character + world files you have in DM and I will try to restore. (Cannot guarantee but it might be possible)

[coarse sorrel]

You can rise ground, not dig it.

[willow raft]

Only thing you can do is raise the ground so the water disappears under it.

[rocky locust]

Thanks guys for your help ❤️

[frail cave]

How do I go about getting leather scraps?

[spark shell]

hunt/tame boars

[frail cave]

Is there a certain biome they are in? I'm struggling to find them.

[spark shell]

meadows

that's the first biome

[willow raft]

Go into the meadows and run around, you'll find boar roaming the land, you need to kill them to get leather scraps.
You can tame them, for that you need to build an enclosure and lure boars into it, throw them some food like shrooms and get out of aggro and sneak back so not to aggro them but you are in range.

[next zephyr]

You also most likely find boars near abandoned villages or a specific runestone. If you go 800M away from the center, higher chance on finding Boar with 1-2 stars. Has/more star = more drops.

[frail cave]

Flint also, how do i get that?

[subtle parrot]

Run along the shore in meadows

[frail cave]

I managed to get 2 from chests but not sure where to find it/gather

[subtle parrot]

It's a white stone

[willow raft]

Look on the ground near the shore or along rivers.

[tiny atlas]

What do i have to do?

[spark shell]

play

[keen zodiac]

I know that but I think you misunderstood.
We were talking about mistlands gear having lvl4 shown in the table but unable to upgrade cause there is no more upgrade enhancements for black forge and galdr table.
Then he said same things happens with bronze when using black forest forge upgrades, but as far as i know there is no black forge gear left at lvl3 which is impossible to upgrade to lvl4

[halcyon crag]

not impossible using commands

but in vanilla gameplay impossible

(until the upgrade station for both stations lands with Ashlands we assume)

[subtle parrot]

Well yeh, but until you get iron age upgrades your bronze gear is stuck at level 3 isn't it? As most of the upgrades to the forge come in the iron age. I may be misremembering though.

[west ore]

does mead take up a stomach slot? like the health regen one? bout to fight the elder and don't want to fuck it up lol

[fathom badge]

You can't upgrade your bronze gear past level 3 until you get iron for forge upgrades, and you can't get your troll gear to level 4 until you have obsidian.

[fathom badge]

Nope. Most meads do have a countdown timer though, so you can only use them I think every 120s or so.

[west ore]

gotcha thanks!

[strong geyser]

hello haven't played valheim in almost a year i think

no news on ashlands update correct? like release date

[buoyant peak]

First half 2024

[strong geyser]

oh wow that's soon. thanks

[buoyant peak]

#news

Not soon enough considering what we've been shown so far

[strong geyser]

i mean its april next week

so around 60 days would be starting second half of 2024

[fathom badge]

Yup. Before the end of June 😉 There will be a public beta period as well, so that will be how you know it's imminent

[buoyant peak]

They did release the mistlands ptb by the end of November 2022, wouldn't be surprised if they did something similar with ashlands

So I'd be surprised if (PTB) it's released before may

[knotty mulch]

so its been quite some time since i played valheim last time i played you needed to be on the public test version or somthing i really dont remember i do rememer changing my game to something that wasnt the original version. what must i do to put it back to how it should have been.

[true steeple]

Steam?

[knotty mulch]

yes i want to bbe on whatever the lattest and greatest is

[true steeple]

Right click valheim in the game list on the left of the library, select properties > betas, you can enable/disable public test there.

[fathom badge]

Disable the beta if you want to actually play, there are some dungeon generation bugs currently that limit their contents.

[subtle parrot]

90 days* start of July would be start of second half of the year

[knotty mulch]

so there is no benifit to doing public test beta type of thing in as of noww? i remmember wwhen i used it it was needed to do something last time i played

[fathom badge]

Yes, no benefit currently. The PTB stuff is some engine updates and optimizations, but there are bugs. No new content currently, so you don't need to run it for any specific reason unless you're interested in helping find bugs.

[knotty mulch]

nah im good on that i hardly can stay playing a game long in my adult life as it is without being frusterated lol

[fathom badge]

The good news with that are there are new world modifiers since you last played, and you can change the difficulty and some other options for your world if you find it too punishing.

[knotty mulch]

oh i like the games hard as long as your rewwarded for it being hard

[strong geyser]

true we are 90 days in the year pretty much

[west ore]

can you have two different types of mead buffs going? i see there is a couple of different mead bases in the cauldron

[subtle parrot]

Yes, just not of the same type

[west ore]

okay. thats good lol

[fathom badge]

Healing meads just return a certain amount of health over a short time, same concept with the stamina meads, and they both have cooldown timers for their type (so you can't drink a small and then a medium). Tasty mead is a very short duration but super handy stamina regen boost with no cooldown. Other meads give resistance for 10 minutes, you can't refresh them early, but they have no cooldown after they run out.

[knotty mulch]

what must i do to make my valheim virgin again? i had all kinds of mods installed like whatever blepin was etc. i uninstaled game and reinstalled and i stil have all the mods

[fathom badge]

There's this message in the pinned posts: #valheim-help message

[knotty mulch]

wwhat is vulcan launch?

[fathom badge]

Vulkan is a different graphics API. If it works for you it is generally faster, so it's usually what's recommended.

[knotty mulch]

so like depending on the card you have ? i dont think ive ever tried vulcan i got a niv 3060

last time i played i had a 970 and the group i was playing with told me not to use vulcan but never knew why game played fine then too

[fathom badge]

It doesn't really matter. I get more consistent performance with Vulkan, as do most people. Biggest issue I've run into is that screenshots have bad gamma through Steam, but that's a small price to pay. Use Vulkan unless it causes issues 😉

[knotty mulch]

kinda excited when i departed last i got myself stuck on a 2 hour one way boat ride and never returned searching for the merchant

[jolly elk]

You can remove your mods by deleting your BepInEx folder.

[west ore]

This is the first time ive had a steady supply of mead so sorry about so many questions lol

[subtle parrot]

No worries, if you have any questions ask away, it's what the channel is intended for

[stoic trench]

Never feel bad for asking questions!

[fallen sierra]

With the update coming around I have been wondering about whether I will keep a world seed through the update or if I should just start anew. I have heard/read both; that as long as you havn't explored all areas you will be fine in your current world, or "for the best experience" to start a new world. Does anyone know how a world seed you are playing now will be effected? Can you make a new game under the same seed, more or less just recycling it after the update as a "new" seed or would it need to be a completely new generated seed? Assuming you decide to start a new one.

[buoyant peak]

https://valheim.com/support/getting-ready-for-the-ashlands/

[fallen sierra]

Thank you

[lusty tusk]

Does anyone know what is the best way to kill 2 star seeker or 2 star seeker soldier? Thanks.

[keen zodiac]

Magic 🪄

Use magic barrier than parry it using the carapace buckler.
Magic barrier guarantees that no matter what armor or shield you have you'll successfully parry the attack if matched timing, use carapace buckler for 2.5x damage and then use staff of embr or any melee weapon. Remember to reactivate the barrier since it might break in one hit

[vapid warren]

alternatively arrows or dodging any attack

[next zephyr]

Switching from two-handed club (Demolisher, to stun them) and then your favourite fast melee weapon, repeat. But it takes a bit of practice because can't switch weapon when running/walking... Currently starting the game fresh, I think their weak point is on their butt

[keen zodiac]

Having the magic barrier is important since, 2 star variants are most likely to 1 shot you to certain death.

[marble roost]

The buckler doesn’t give you any extra damage on parry compared to any other way of parrying. Might as well parry it with a crossbow and then jump over it and shoot it in the butt, or parry it with a magic staff then shoot it with it

[subtle parrot]

Yes you can have different worlds with the same seed, just don't name them the same thing so you don't confuse them

[subtle parrot]

Seeker soldiers butt is it's weak spot, if that's helpful to you

[vague goblet]

Do Hildir and Haldor have spawn locations nearby one another or is it completely random. I know that they spawn at one of a set number of locations based upon whichever you interact with but I want to know if the potential locations are in close proximity to one another. I jsut found Hildir and don't want to waste time searching the area for Haldor if there isn't some guarantee he'll be near-ish.

[lilac coyote]

Given that they are in different biomes, they'll always be away from each other. And yes, all 20 locations are random.

[marble roost]

Don’t think there’s any guarantee Haldor is nearby, but I believe they spawn at approximately the same distance range from spawn

[lilac coyote]

1500-8000m versus 3000-5100m so there's definitely some overlap.

[marble roost]

Is Hildr the first of those ranges?

[halcyon crag]

nope

[west ore]

do raids still happen? i'm on day 26 and haven't had one yet

[fathom badge]

As long as they're enabled, yes. Raids are random, so you can get "lucky" a lot of times in a row.

[vapid warren]

for most of them it requires being near what the base counts as a "base" at the correct intervals(each 46 minutes, 20% chance)

[west ore]

ah gotcha

[bright reef]

what are the must first few things i should craft with my iron? im not in the swamps biome yet nor have defeated the elder boss but recently found out that i get iron from standing torches that are in burial chambers around black forest. I manage to accumulate a decent chunk, 21 so far. What would yall prioritize with this limited amount of iron?

[pearl mortar]

Depends what you enjoy. Personally I'd make things you can disassemble, like a stone cutter and cooking hooks...

[last lava]

I always start with building new crafting stations that come with new metal. Then Shield/weapon.

[elder ice]

any one know why my field of view and motion blur keep turning back on ? and how to turn them off so they wont turn back on

[keen zodiac]

Yeah it's possible

In fact I have found haldor and hildir right beside each other

[austere basin]

is the only way to raise woodcutting skill hitting trees?

like can i hit a wooden wall or would that just raise axes

[static finch]

Do tar nodes regenerate after being harvested?

[austere basin]

nope

[static finch]

rough

[austere basin]

the growths do respawn however

just takes a while

[mighty orchid]

As far as I know yes however hitting a creature while chopping tree should give you more XP (at least according to the Wiki) one thing you can do tho is plant a birch tree nearby a workback or vice versa and use stone axe to hit it until you lvl to max lvl due to the stone axe not destroying the tree but still providing with XP

[austere basin]

ah got it

also whats a good way to raise pickaxe skill?

[mighty orchid]

I'm currently lvl 60 from just mining around the world and such but my assumptions would be high rested buff and just mine big boulders around you black forest should be your best bet for safe and fast lvling

[austere basin]

got it, i was thinking mining a silver vein with an antler pickaxe

[frosty dragon]

you can lay wooden floors and dig them out, I don't know if it still works, but it used to work

[cinder pumice]

Is Ashland’s on ptb already?

[true steeple]

No

[cinder pumice]

Any idea when or if there is a known date

[stoic trench]

Not yet 🙂

[cinder pumice]

Fml

I know everyone else is impatiently waiting as well

[true steeple]

It’s not that bad

[buoyant peak]

First half 2024

[lilac coyote]

I'd say most people are patiently waiting.

[sharp stirrup]

Howdy fellow vikings. can the gjall event spawn in the meadows or outside of mistlands?

ya know... the war of the worlds jerks. lol

[vapid warren]

no, only mistlands

[marble roost]

Aw, disappointing

[sharp stirrup]

thanks

[vapid warren]

seeker raid can spawn in BF, plains, mistlands(and deep north and ashlands, but those arent really applicable)

[jovial ledge]

can someone tell me what I need to do if I want to turn on fly mode and fly to the uncharted placed, BUT later I wanna load previous state of things in order to undo the revealed map parts?

the saves/backup thing is still confusing to me, I can't figure out how to make simple stuff like load a previous save to work

[tired notch]

You could save a copy of the world in a separate folder yourself.

[keen zodiac]

Use "Win+R" then type %appdata% in the dialog box.
Then find the following folder
...appdata/Local Low/Irongate/Valheim/World saves
There copy all the files beginning with the name of your corresponding world and paste somewhere safe.
After your experiments overwrite those files in the world saves folder with the previously saved files.

[sweet crescent]

hey just to make sure the sailing levels are:
1: paddleing
2 and 3 dependent on wind right?

[frail cave]

exactly

[sweet crescent]

gotcah thanks for the confirmation

[keen zodiac]

The reverse is also paddling

[mossy snow]

This is probably a common question ... any way to un-craft armor items made when ya meant to upgrade?

[willow raft]

Sadly, no.
You could use the console to command in the materials you lost though.

[mossy snow]

thx ... I deserve to lose the res ... pay attention bonehead ... LOL

[willow raft]

You are not the first who has done such a thing, won't be the last probably.
I've done it myself a couple of times.

[mossy snow]

I figure this is 10 ... 12 times ... likely be 10 ... 12 more beforre I learn the lesson ...

[subtle parrot]

Lol I've been playing since mistlands came out, and I still do it 😅

[mossy snow]

I played a couple years before mistlands, but had to quit for a couple years, just got back a couple weeks now

[inner pond]

i need help when i play valheim the ground and water is black

[mossy snow]

what the heck are those spots of impenetrable fog I am finding?

[subtle parrot]

That's likely mistlands

[mossy snow]

small, but the one I visited entered into swamp

if the ground and water are black ... is it night?

that second part was for gargalius

[inner pond]

no it isnt night like the ground and water is mixing textures

and when i dig down its pitch black down there

[mossy snow]

sounds like a bug ... try exiting to windows and restart

[inner pond]

i already tried that

[mossy snow]

sorry bud, I've never seen such

[inner pond]

like this, i found this on google

[subtle parrot]

Do you have any mods? Have you tried to Uninstall-reinstall? @inner pond

[mossy snow]

looks like graphic processing issues

excellent question

[inner pond]

no, no mods, and yes i have reinstalled my game

are there like any mods that change the texture of ground and water

[subtle parrot]

There are, but idk if that would help in this case

[inner pond]

damn

ill launch my game and send u a screenie

of what i see

[subtle parrot]

Yeh, that's about the extent of my knowledge @fathom badge do you know anything about how this could happen?

[inner pond]

what the menu looks like

[fathom badge]

Huh. That's very weird. Tried switching to use Vulkan, or not using it? Updated your GPU drivers lately? Are you over clocking it at all? Any custom settings in the drivers for Valheim?

[karmic ice]

Hi guys, i would like to know if anyone as ecountered some issues into MystLand ? I'm playing with a friend on a server and we didn't find any structure, village, ... of Dvergr .. We spent hours explorating map and .. Nothing

[inner pond]

how do i switch to vulkan??

[fathom badge]

When you start Valheim it gives you an option. If it doesn't, it's because you've changed the options to always start with one API, and you need to go into Steam and change the game options to ask each time.

[inner pond]

oh ok

started it with vulkan but i still have the same problem

[fathom badge]

Ok. Next step would be to make sure that you don't have any driver specific settings for Valheim, and possibly reinstall or upgrade your graphics drivers.

[fathom badge]

Have you been running into enemies at all? Any seekers, gjall, etc?

[inner pond]

would like a mod fix this that changes the textures of grouns and water

[tall palm]

Maybe ur wold is very old?

[karmic ice]

Everything was normal, except for Dvergr villages. We just found one of two of them, but nothing else. We even checked on map with our seeds, and we were on the right places.

[fathom badge]

Not likely. A mod could very well cause it, though. Do you have any mods installed, or even a mod manager?

[karmic ice]

My friend has NexusMods installed before yeah, but not anymore. And it was only graphics mods

[inner pond]

no nothing like that, i startes the game 3 days ago i really enjoy it but the textures ruin it

[karmic ice]

We started in January, so i don't think so

[dreamy basin]

would the campfires naturally placed in fuling villages also act as spawn proof?

[fathom badge]

You aren't using the public test branch by any chance, are you?

[tall palm]

Oh,if it so,i dont rlly know man

[karmic ice]

I don't think so, we didn't change anything to use it at least x)

[fathom badge]

For sure. It seems like either a data corruption or a graphics driver issue based on the screenshots.

[willow raft]

Nope.

[karmic ice]

np bro, thanks anyway 🙂

[tall palm]

Ig,thats a game problem,try to create a new world and check

[inner pond]

there are some things like shaders didnt load or sumn like that in the Player text file

[fathom badge]

What graphics card are you using? It might be just that your card is too old for some of the techniques the game is using.

[inner pond]

gt 1030

[karmic ice]

Yeah i think it's server problem, only solution would be to create a new one

[tall palm]

Yeah man

[fathom badge]

That should be new enough, but perhaps you are running low on graphics memory. Unfortunately, this seems like it might be a little bit outside my experience. @lapis terrace knows more about graphics card limitations in the game

[karmic ice]

I maybe found something, but didn't try yet .. There is the "genloc" command maybe .. Could force the generation once again and repair it

[tall palm]

Ye,try to use this coomand,maybe u will find smth

[karmic ice]

Yeah, i'll tell you, maybe could help someone

[tall palm]

Im waiting)

[inner pond]

thats sad, i thought i could get this fixed any other games like valheim)

[lapis terrace]

that is "your graphics card doesn't support shaders"

[lapis terrace]

Graphics card does not support shaders

so either a 1030 is to weak, or your computer isn't using your graphics card at all

[fathom badge]

Is that in a laptop? Smiffe has a good point, you might be using the integrated graphics instead of your dedicated GPU. The 1030 should support shaders, even though it's not very fast.

[vapid warren]

could also be using the motherboard on a desktop instead of the GPU

[fathom badge]

Turning off tessellation in the settings might also make the ground at least appear.

[lapis terrace]

that's what I said 😉

[inner pond]

well i guess ill play with missing ground textures

[lapis terrace]

you will probably have 1000's of issues 😦

[warm hearth]

Hi everyone. We've been playing with a friend on a dedicated server we're hosting and we're really struggling to play around our base as the performance drops significantly. What I don't understand is that we both have good specs PCs and I can clearly see that my hardware isn't capping or bottlenecking at any crucial point (CPU, RAM, GPU or SSD).

I know this has been a known issue for high instances worlds, but is there any solution?

Thanks in advance

[lapis terrace]

27k instances will be anoying

[celest goblet]

Hello everyone! I have a question about micro-stutters. Valheim runs 60-70 fps but when crossing zone borders the game has little stutters. When I look at the instances when pressing F2 the numbers seem to change rapidly and this is of course because it loads new assets. I have tried every possible solution I could find from reddit and steam forums and still the hiccups dont go away. I have disabled C-states as a last resort and still to no avail.. Can you share your experience and is it normal? Should I just try to ignore it...

[warm hearth]

But that's the end of it? Isn't there anyway possible to optimize it?

[lapis terrace]

buy a nasa level of computer?

honestly. it's trillions of trilions of objects your having in your village

[lapis terrace]

only think you can do really is to "unlock" your computers hidden potential if you haven't

EXPO/XMP enabled, power-mode for CPU and that kind

but what is your CPU/GPU and RAM?

since 27k instances and 8 FPS doesn't tell me much besides a mid-tier PC probably

[warm hearth]

AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor
32GB DDDR4 3200MHz
NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB

[lapis terrace]

Hm..

press ctrl+shift+esc and make sure your RAM runs ar 3200Mhz

click the performance tab (2nd one) then memory

and look at speed

[keen zodiac]

Straightforward "Task Manager"

[lapis terrace]

yeah. shortcut to it basicly

[celest goblet]

Guys some help for me? I am going crazy over the stutters😞😞

[lapis terrace]

stutters?

[celest goblet]

Yes i posted 30 min ago or so

[lapis terrace]

but I guess 27000 instances is where a 3800X will start to really get bogged down :/

[celest goblet]

This @lapis terrace

[warm hearth]

Sorry. Yes, it does

[gusty citrus]

If thats not enough to build smth idk what is 😦 I have a 3050 laptop gpu, 11800H and 16gb at 3200MHz w/ abt 5-7k instances drops to 10-20 fps, dont know if I should continue playing honestly

Fellas, does the amount of cores/threads matter in Valheim?

Or is it primarily the clock speed

[warm hearth]

Also the CPU runs at 4.2GHz

[fathom badge]

I think part of the issue might be that it's a laptop. You get limited by heat exhaust on laptops because Valheim is pretty heavy on both GPU and CPU. Have you played with the settings? Turned down the shadows, point lights, and maybe the render scaling?

[halcyon crag]

not much of anything gonna make a huge difference at 27k instances

[fathom badge]

It's not, but shadow calculation and light stuff for that many instances can be pretty significant, especially on a mid-range laptop GPU. I think in general it might be advisable to turn all the settings down to min and play with them to see what you can do.

[celest goblet]

Guys can you tell me about your experience with stutter when you cross the zone border? Is it normal?

[halcyon crag]

yes but "turn down gfx settings" was probably one of the first things they tried

[fathom badge]

Having done enough tech support, I still always ask if it's plugged in 😉

[fathom badge]

I personally haven't run into that. Is it on a dedicated server, or running locally? Older world or anything like that?

[celest goblet]

Runs locally and on a new world

I have tried every single fix possible @fathom badge

[celest goblet]

I posted earlier

[fathom badge]

Ahh. Sorry, I'm just getting to my day job and this is just a side thing I do because I like the game 😉 What kind of hardware are you running on?

[celest goblet]

I5 4460, msi gforce 1060 3 gb, 16gb ram

[warm hearth]

In the end, I would understand that if my Task manager showed my hardware struggling it's a "me" thing. Time for upgrade. But, seeing my hardware handling just fine, also with other AAA games... Idk, kinda frustrating

[lapis terrace]

Valheim is unique in the way that we don't stop you from basicly abusing your own hardware

[fathom badge]

Hmm. The i5-4460 is getting a little long in the tooth, it might be part of the issue just not being fast enough. Have you checked your XMP settings on your motherboard and made sure that it's enabled? I've found that solved a lot of my micro-stuttering issues.

[warm hearth]

Not sure what that means. Again, my hardware looks fine? Not struggling at all. Always running under 40% usage

[lapis terrace]

a 4460 is 8-9 years old by modern standards

[lapis terrace]

imagine if you could build in real life. infinite high object

[fathom badge]

The thing with AAA games is that they still do a lot of optimization of maps and such, and most of them are pretty static worlds so they don't have a lot of changes to track. With Valheim being completely procedural as well as player-created for tracking of objects it can get very complicated and tax even high-end hardware even though it seems like it should be simpler.

[lapis terrace]

you can't solve everything with optimization either

[celest goblet]

Well aside from disabling C-States the XMP feature was not present in my BIOS. There are options related to memory but not the usual XMP enable feature

[fathom badge]

Sure you can! Just optimize it so much you aren't rendering anything 😛

[lapis terrace]

you cannot optimize a car from the 1950's to be as good as a Tesla model X

[warm hearth]

I completely understand

I'm not comparing, but rather trying to understand if there will ever be a solution or not. A game like Minecraft, for example, you can just build and place entities as much as your hardware can handle. Like, literally you can see the performance reach to 80-90% peaks. But again, with Valheim everyting seems to run at 40% constantly and yet struggle "only" because of instances

[lapis terrace]

the games are built diffrently

but imagine building a pyradmid in minecraft with 27000 blocks

it will tank your computer aswell 😄

[fathom badge]

The voxel grid that Minecraft uses is much simpler than Valheim's structures are overall, not to mention structural sub-calculations that Valheim does.

[lapis terrace]

and have diffrent engines

but. overall

reduce performance helps alot

and build less fire places 😄

[frosty dragon]

Hi guys, is there any mod or way to level a surface like this

[lapis terrace]

no

you can maximum dig 8 meter down, or 8 meter up from the original ground

mods, I can't say

[frosty dragon]

ok thx

[marble roost]

likely mods for it yea, but ask in #mods-discussion

[vapid warren]

only thing in vanilla would be to spawn a big location that forces terraforming

[jolly elk]

Can you give an example of that, Larsi? What sort of 'big location', for example?

[vapid warren]

i feel like there's devhouse, etc

i dont remember specifics

[jolly elk]

OIC, ok so any of the prefabs that might do their own terrain flattening as you place them. Got it.

[vapid warren]

yeah

[gusty citrus]

Thanks for the little list, Ill turn them down and see how it goes! Also I dont think heat is as big of an issue as just the fact these gpus and cpus draw a lot less power

[karmic ice]

We finally found a solution. We had to install and use a mod called UpgradeWorld to regenerate all the Mystland part

[slender cradle]

Are wolfs useful in fights?

[vapid warren]

starred ones at least are

[slender cradle]

Ok time to catch one.

[marble roost]

usually you want two so you can breed them. Although they're powerful in fights, they're also glass cannons so they're gonna die on the regular

[fathom badge]

A single wolf is not very dangerous. A pack of them is, even without stars. Applies when you're a player, or when they're your pets 😉

[static finch]

What weapon should I take for ||yagluth||? I was thinking of bringing my old quality 2 ||crystal battleaxe or making a silver sword.||

[fathom badge]

I would honestly suggest making a Frostner. It will have more value in the Mistlands, and is nearly as good as the silver sword against Yag. The downside of the Silver Sword is it does spirit damage, which is effective against Yagluth, but not most other enemies.

[static finch]

sweet, ty. what should I aim for in terms of armor value and food? right now im at 83 armor with a limited access to barley and flax due to my farms being small

oh wow frostner is cheap, the silv will be the painful part tho

[fathom badge]

Make sure you buff up your food production, flax can be traded out for barley once you have the padded armor fully upgraded. Lox pies, fish wraps and bread is about the best mix of food you can get at Plains tier. Blood pudding is a solid alternative to bread as well if you have the extra ingredients, but all of them require barley so it's very critical.

[static finch]

i see. should I make silver arrows for the spirit damage when I'm too low to close in on him?

[fathom badge]

Don't waste silver on that, you will need it for other things. Frost arrows if any arrows, but Yagluth is much easier to handle up close becuase he doesn't turn quickly, and he's very resistant to all piercing damage.

[static finch]

ahhh, i see. i was bummed when i read the pierce dmg resistance and found my already crafted blackmetal aetgier to be useless

[fathom badge]

Just against the boss. That's the best way to hunt lox, and in general is the only weapon you need for anything else on the Plains

[marble roost]

Personally I'd recommend using one piece of fenris armor (chest or legs). Movement speed is pretty good in the fight

[static finch]

thanks guys

[tall palm]

Zamn,i didnt even know about this mode.Ty for giving me a name man

[austere lark]

so i beat the first boss yesterday and was exploring the black forest. anything essential i should try to do first?

[static finch]

Immediately aim for copper and tin, which you can find in shiny boulders and on the shore respectively

[austere lark]

thx. i think you can make bronze from those and if i am correct, would it be worth it to make a bronze axe and pick axe first or is there something else i should be aiming for first?

[static finch]

oh for sure, you start with the antler pick and stone axe and the next are bronze tools. also if you're risky enough you can setup a treehouse near a few copper veins for quick smelting, but make sure to guard the tree with walls and destroy graydwarf nests or you'll be in trouble

[austere lark]

thx for the advice!

[static finch]

if it gets bad just run as far as you can to lose aggro and come back ~2 mins later

[fathom badge]

The bronze pick is skippable, and I often do since the bronze mining grind can be a bit rough. Make sure you dig down around the copper nodes because they're a lot bigger than they appear on the surface.

[austere lark]

quick question, is it normal to run into a troll when you are near the deposits?

[static finch]

sort of, you can even use em to mine deposits

[fathom badge]

Yup. Trolls live in the Black Forest. Their hides make fine armor.

[austere lark]

i feel like im going to have alot of fun in this forrest......

[true steeple]

Dodging gives you invincibility for a very short time, which helps when fighting trolls with meadows equipment.

[slender cradle]

Is there a chance that moder summoning place spawned past mistlands?

[fathom badge]

Every boss has multiple altars, so yes, it is possible that there are some Mistlands that generate before the mountain that Moder's altar is on in some directions. I just found a large mountain in the middle of some Mistlands on my game.

[slender cradle]

Then I'm unlucky xD

I tried to get to where Moder shows up but from every direction I end up in mistlands

Can I skip killing her in my game and do it on some other server?

[jolly elk]

Or you could invite a friend to come to your world and help you with finding and killing her, if you like.

[static finch]

technically yes, but im pretty sure there are world specific events tied to killing bosses

[subtle parrot]

Axe, bronze pick is optional imo. It has more durability, and will pick faster than the antler pick but it doesn't really do much more in terms of actually picking than the antler pick.

And you get 3 antler picks from beating eikthyr, and you don't need to take extra mats for a forge with you to repair on the go, which is also nice.

[subtle parrot]

At all 3 possible locations? If so, that's super unlucky 😕

[marble roost]

Playing no map I couldn't find Moders altar because there was too much mist in the way, so I decided to just travel far and found a vegvisir for another Moder spawn that ended up being right near the middle of the map 😄

[frail cave]

Right next to the first base we made 😂

[slender cradle]

If I already uncovered her altar I can't uncover another right?

[real nebula]

you can, you just need to go pretty far from the first one

Vegvisirs will only discover the one altar closest to them

[slender cradle]

Thanks. That's something I will do 😉

[frail cave]

So I tried to start Valheim again but i crash at the game trying to launch i have checked integrity. uninstalled reinstalled to no avail..... as it is now i cant play at all.. help

[frail cave]

Did you try launching in vulkan?

[hot radish]

Hello 🙂 I have a question.
Are there any servers built in into Valheim? I see the list of servers when I try to join the game, but whenever I try to log in, I have info that it couldn't connect to the server.
Is there a possibility to play some vanilla version with some people somewhere, but without being forced to cooperate with people every day?

[fathom badge]

You can play solo no problem. Servers are entirely optional, and are all community run and there is nothing official. You don't even have to be online to play Valheim.

[next zephyr]

It's rare for a base building like games to not "commit". You will get left behind pretty quick if you're new to the game or never beaten 3-4 boss, there are raids that tied with world progression, and if others have killed the last boss then it will be a dead server... That's just my opinion, not to say it's impossible but it's much more enjoyable to have few friends that respect your timeframe and prefer to play only if you're around, or maybe okay exchanging the world file from time to time.

[frail cave]

There’s a few community servers with raids off

[next zephyr]

Oh! that's seems like a great option

[hot radish]

Yeah I know... I enjoy playing solo, but I would like to have an option to jump on someones server and play with him few times a month. Unfortunately none of my colleagues plays that game 😦

[hot radish]

See, I am looking for a game, where I can have my house outside of the city and visit it sometimes, go somewhere with other players. Or to be eg. a blacksmith in a village, log in few times a week and just enjoy being part of the community there

[lilac coyote]

Sounds like an MMO would.

[hot radish]

Yeah, but in MMO your actions don't have much sense. When there are 100 000 players, npc's you don't feel you have impact on something. In sandbox games where there is max 50 players it is noticable if you are there or not. That's what I am looking for 🙂
So in Valheim there is no such things you say?

[lilac coyote]

No, it's mostly a single player game with an optional coop for up to 10 players.

[static finch]

Does anyone know what yagluth says on summon?

[reef flame]

how do we get out of here?

My friend decided to break the floor and we fell in........

nvm we got out with some hardwork

[marble roost]

It’s a tough place to get stuck if you don’t have the right tools

[rocky elk]

I remember there being a command that could delete mist within a certain radius, anyone know what it is?

[marble roost]

#valheim-chat message

Convo following that also talks about how it may or may not work sometimes and that it can cause game to get laggy if you do it a lot

Wait depending on which mist. The above is for mistlands

Just regular fog I’d prob search google for clear weather command

[rocky elk]

Yeah it was for the mistlands

also is there a way to increase the duration of the status effect with commands?

Cause when I do addstatus rested it only does eight minutes so is there a way to increase that?

[static finch]

i know zero commands but maybe addstatus rested16 could work

[tiny pumice]

Need some help getting my files from xbox gamepass (on pc) to steam

[last lava]

anyone run into an issue where you can't interact with an object (chest in this case) or destroy anything around it? On live, not PTB.

[marble roost]

Hmm only when playing on a server with others. And then leaving and rejoining tends to fix it

[last lava]

turns out the fix was to just die to a Lox

and then try again, lol

[tiny pumice]

Also btw I dont have the gamepass anymore and thus cant play the game

had to get it on steam

[proven salmon]

After discovering the first elder boss alter, is that the only place I can summon it? Or can I summon it at the other elder alters as well? Does the first one you find become the only alter?

[thorn portal]

Any alter will work

[proven salmon]

Ty our group wasnt sure if it was just the one

[thorn portal]

Because I'm a builder type, I don't boss fight on my home world and I store my alter mounted trophies on their own world, too.

[vapid warren]

You can resummon it at any altar as many times as you want as long as you have mats

[next zephyr]

If it's not in your Appdata; C:\Users**\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds then the save is stored in the gamepass's cloud save. You need to move the saves locally first while in the game's main menu > character selection page > "manage saves" on bottom left. This also happens on Steam apparently which the game saves on cloud only until you move them locally... I'm not sure if you can access the gamepass's cloud save and download the save file.

[vapid warren]

well they say they cant open the game

[keen zodiac]

No, that's the case for the 2 traders only.
Boss alters can generate multiple.
In every valheim world there is
3 Eikthyr
4 Elder
5 Bonemass
3 Moder
4 Yagluth
5 The Queen (Citadel)
Alter.
And you can summon them anytime on any of the alters if you have the required item.
Eg 3 ancient seed for the Elder.

[next zephyr]

Aw man, gg... Oh well, imo, it's not really that bad to start new anyway, it's fairly common for Early Access to start new every big update.

[slender cradle]

Can confirm that any alter will work. I first found moder behind mistlands and couldn't get there. Found another in more manageable part of the map.

[wraith bramble]

is that normal that bonemass is that far away?

[oblique hawk]

It's not uncommon to have him pretty far away but yours is not far away at all.

That's very close.

[wraith bramble]

thanks for info!

[oblique hawk]

Swamps can't be closer to the centre of the world than 2000 metres and it looks like he's about as close as he can be.

[wraith bramble]

so everytime you start game you are in center of world?

[oblique hawk]

Yeah, and the distance from the centre to the edge is 10500 metres.

[wraith bramble]

I tought in my little brain its random, coz I have seen many of starting rocks (same build structure) around world

[oblique hawk]

No, you always start in the centre (or very close to, sometimes it can be offset a little due to water - the starting stones has to be on land so if the centre is in the middle of the sea it's moved to the closest land), and then various biomes start occuring at set distances from the centre. (500m for black forest, 2000m for swamp etc).

[wraith bramble]

ohh thats helpfull, thanks

also why odin is there? I saw him 4 times in swamp when I was near dead

[oblique hawk]

Just checking your progress. ;)
He doesn't have any function, it's just an easter egg.

[grim carbon]

Can anyone help me and tell me how to kill bone mass the easiest way?

[wraith bramble]

its weird that I only see him in swamp and near death scenario... I guess its just coincidence?

[oblique hawk]

He appears randomly.

[next zephyr]

Flatten the boss area first using hoe, close any puddles, and clear all draugr spawners near by. Use poison resistance with blunt weapon (exp; iron mace). Be sure to drink the potion before starting the fight. If you fully upgrade your mace, pretty much you can one hit the enemies he spawn (blob, skeleton).

Some people claims that standing on the skull helps, but myself haven't try that method, I assume those for range weapon.

[crystal frigate]

Why i can't join my friend's server on a modded game? We both have the same mods installed

[real nebula]

#mods-issues for that, this channel is exclusively for vanilla game issues

[slender cradle]

Basically parry and second attack with mace

After each parry You can land 2 second attacks

[frail cave]

parries cost more stamina than blocking and bosses are immune to stagger, so that's only necessary if your block armor+parry bonus+max HP+armor combination isn't enough to block the hits. though i'd just dodgeroll instead, no risk of lacking stats involved there.

[slender cradle]

Then to be more precise. Avoid melee attacks however You can do it best and after each melee You can land 2 special attacks

Drag him away from poison cloud even with mead it's better to not fight inside the cloud

[frail cave]

if he throws enemies, distance yourself from him to take the enemies out first before going back to fight him.
no running needed for doing so, he moves pretty slow

[slender cradle]

If You want to make it easier You can wall off an arena around the skull. He often throws the spawns outside and it takes them some time to break the walls

[vernal fractal]

I need help with sea serpents!
How do they spawn? And what they drop?

[frail cave]

they spawn randomly in the ocean biome at night or during rainy or stormy weather (not light rain though)
every 64x64 meter chunk of the world has a 5% chance to try and spawn a serpent somewhere around you whenever you pass through, with a 16 minute cooldown per chunk.
if the conditions for a serpent to spawn aren't met, the cooldown still happens iirc.

[vernal fractal]

Thank you!
I need The serpent stew

[frail cave]

they drop serpent scales, used to craft the serpent scale shield, a tower shield with 50% pierce damage resistance and 15% movement speed penalty as opposed to the usual 20%.
and serpent meat, used for serpent stew, one of the best HP foods in the game

[slender cradle]

And serpent trophy that looks cool or can be used to make bait for fishing in the ocean

Keep in mind that scales sink to the bottom so if You want them You need harpoon to drag serpent to shallow water or even to land

[minor ferry]

where is the best spot to farm fine wood? this might be a dumb question i have 200h and i havent figured this out myself

[slender cradle]

Anywhere You see a lot of birch or Oak trees

[frail cave]

depends on your stage in progression.
the ||plains|| have a lot more birch trees than meadows, but they're the fifth biome.
the shipwrecks you occasionally find at shores can also drop a decent amount of fine wood, though they're definitely not farmable.
birch trees don't drop seeds at a rate high enough to be sustainable, and the ||plains|| birches have an even lower seed drop chance than the meadows ones.

[minor ferry]

yea i havent seen a shipwreck yet in this world, just found 4th boss altar

ill just keep looking around the 5th biome then thank you both ^^

[frail cave]

they're found in black forest and ||plains||, probably swamp too, can't quite remember

[slender cradle]

Once You gear up with mountains gear You can hit the plains for birch trees

But there's no fine wood in black forest

[frail cave]

i meant shipwrecks 😅

[slender cradle]

Aa yea usually costs around black forest

[minor ferry]

yea i dont think going to unexplored black forests will be reliable enough for fine wood farming so i will just plains biome the wood

[slender cradle]

Wonder why so much fine wood if it has so limited use ?

[frail cave]

it's used in a lot of gear, building stuff and reinforced chests, which were the highest chest tier until hearth & home and are technically still better than the highest tier in cabinet storage designs
(also portals)

[visual radish]

Yep, can never have too much finewood.

[pine swift]

hello, please help me solve the problem. when trying to connect to a friend's server, the error "Failed to connect" appears. How to solve it?

[keen zodiac]

Oak trees are the best source for both wood and fine wood.

[static shore]

Playing on the PTB and picked up smelted tin for the first time but don't have the cooking pot crafting recipe unlocked, I've tried quitting and relogging but it hasn't fixed it. Any ideas?

[visual radish]

Do you have a forge placed down?

[static shore]

No

[visual radish]

Then that should be why.

[static shore]

It takes a forge to put a cooking pot down? I didn't know

[sullen tide]

if I don't enjoy sailing, what's the point of ore restricted portals

have I missed a great mechanic?

[wide burrow]

Hello everyone, we're playing with a friend on xbox. Help, we can't connect to each other, what should we do?

[bright reef]

does anyone know how i can burry my wooden pole into the ground like this to reduce the height? (the poles here were generated by the world spawn)

[marble roost]

None. Go to world modifiers and turn ore restriction off if you don't like sailing or transporting

[slender cradle]

You can always set portals to no restriction

[sullen tide]

right, that's how I've done it previously, I was trying out a new world with no modifiers to figure out why this exists

[marble roost]

Because people like to transport stuff and manage their inventories. I'm currently playing no portals

[subtle parrot]

Because that's how the game was intended to be played normally

[sullen tide]

so no portals, that's just short for "I build bases everywhere and need to collect 20 times the amount of material" right?

[marble roost]

No same amount of material. But I do build a lot of bases, and it takes longer to transport them

Portals are a modifier I usually wouldn't wanna live without but its interesting to try. This world is hella modified tho: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1207493650355986432

[sullen tide]

so you are also using all of the other sliders capped at max?

[marble roost]

yea, except resources is at minimum

[sullen tide]

in that case, I get it; you can't find your base anymore without map, so you just transport everything with you 😛

[marble roost]

minimum resources, no portal, and no map are new to me and not sure how I feel about them. They're very tedious, but make for some interesting strategy

The other modifiers I'm used to and give great fun

[sullen tide]

from what I've seen the only strategy in a no map game is to build roads everywhere

tl;dr: the point of no ore portals is the added challenge of using a cart without breaking it

[marble roost]

yea its a pretty good strat. Navigating by yggdrassil or drawing a handrawn map is good too

[sullen tide]

thanks for the answers

I'm gonna slide that back down to ore portals and no death penalties again I think

[wide burrow]

help me please

[subtle parrot]

Try the very hard combat, it's a good challenge

[sullen tide]

all I've seen for that is that you can't block anymore

so it kinda removes mechanics that I enjoy

[subtle parrot]

You can, just not the really strong stuff like 2* creatures and bosses

[sullen tide]

doesn't it stop working when you meet wolves?

[subtle parrot]

Idk tbh, i just barely beat bonemass yesterday lol

[sullen tide]

I found that I don't die up until I'm hitting either the plains (Lox, blobs) or a hunted event

[marble roost]

would if I could 😔

[sullen tide]

from there on, it's plenty difficult for me

[subtle parrot]

What is the error message?

[marble roost]

yea kinda have to go for some specific setups to parry. Hard mode seems decent tho, just Very Hard breaks parries a bit

[sullen tide]

also Yagluth is kinda hard

[subtle parrot]

There's a plains near the swamp my bonemass was and i ran into a lox at the edge of the swamp and somehow blocked it's chomp with my level 4 finewood bow, i was really surprised cause it only took half my health, i thought i was for sure gonna die. Not sure if it was a fluke or what, but I have it set to very hard combat.

[sullen tide]

I don't think there's a good strategy

so I can't imagine what Yagluth would be like on very hard

[wide burrow]

Just "failed to connect to the server"

[subtle parrot]

Are you or are they hosting it?

Are you sure the crossplay button was checked?

[wide burrow]

Both tried

[marble roost]

there's plenty of good strategies

My go to is fire resist, fenris armor to outrun meteors, and then a decent weapon like a silver sword or frostner.

For this run tho I'm gonna be taking him on with ||magic || which should facillitate the process

[wide burrow]

And it's not available, I don't have such a button.

[sullen tide]

so you gonna jump into mistlands before yagluth?

[marble roost]

already did yea. Fully kitted in mistlands gear, gonna go fight him soon (been holding off because I'm playing on a server and wanted to wait for others)

I'll say tho, I spent 5 hours lost in mistlands because its no map no portals and only just found home. So much good loot tho

[loud linden]

It took me a long time to realise that exploring the mistlands without the materials for a workbench & a portal is a really bad idea.

[marble roost]

portals are life

[subtle parrot]

Strange, I don't either.. I haven't done it in a while, so I'm not sure what's changed, sorry about that

[hollow apex]

my game is unplayable unless i am streaming to discord, does anyone know what might be causing that?

[vague goblet]

What do you mean by unplayable exactly?

[hollow apex]

i fixed it, but my character would move in slow motion then back to normal speed over and over

nevermind its doing it again

this is in modded but i uninstalled and reinstalled and went to vanilla and still had the issue

the only way i can play without it happening is by streaming to a friend on discord then it plays normally

[fathom badge]

Modded help is in #mods-issues

[sullen tide]

can you use a single chimney for more than 1 source of smoke

[fathom badge]

As long as it's big enough for all the smoke clouds, yes.

[sullen tide]

so one square for every source?

[spark shell]

as long as you can guide the smoke from all sources to that chimney, it'll be fine
Just make sure the outlet is around 2mx2m

[proven salmon]

Does /w work like World of Warcraft where it sends a direct message across the server? I haven't been able to get any type of whisper command to work

[vapid warren]

use /s

[bright reef]

so i just defeated the elder, is this really the buff we get?

[vapid warren]

for /shout

[vapid warren]

yes

they're not all for combat

[proven salmon]

I've figured out the /s but didn't want to announce some messages, I've used discord for the whispers for now but was wondering what I was doing wrong

[vapid warren]

oh whisper? yeah no

its either a short range or world wide

[bright reef]

i see so whats next? i assume swamp since i got a swamp key but hagis (the bird guy) didnt spawn to hint me to where i should head to

[vapid warren]

haggis 😂

yeah swamp is next

bring poison resistance mead

[bright reef]

welp time to set out and explore

so its not a bug that haggis didnt spawn to tell me swamp is next?

[lilac coyote]

Huginn.

[bright reef]

💀 im bad at remembering names

[vapid warren]

no worries, derek forgot there's only one N in his name

[lilac coyote]

Nope.

[vapid warren]

i think hugin tells you less and less as game goes on, i doubt its a bug

[lilac coyote]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huginn_and_Muninn

[vapid warren]

this is valheim :p

[lilac coyote]

Fine.

[fathom badge]

I think the hint is that you get a "Swamp Key" from the Elder when you defeat it...

[bright reef]

yea thats what i original thought too, thx guys!

[somber coral]

quick question regarding taming. As soon as the taming process started (yellowish hearts) animals stop despawning and you can leave the place for other things to do ? Or do you have to be around them until they are tamed ?

[vapid warren]

yeah, they wont despawn anymore after 1%

[slender cradle]

You still need to be in render zone for taming progress

Otherwise it's paused until you're nearby again

[somber coral]

ok, thanks ! I just watched a tutorial on youtube and wasnt sure about that.

[slender cradle]

I'm still not sure about starred wolfs through. Didn't try yet and some sources say taming can progress during the day while others say it definitely won't.

[vapid warren]

taming of starred wolves can progress during day if it has already started, if it hasnt started during daytime it wont start, and it will despawn

[slender cradle]

So if I feed it initially during night I can finish it in 30 minutes including day time?

[vapid warren]

yeah

[slender cradle]

Nice. I was scared I need to go through this for 4 nights

[lilac coyote]

I was under the impresion taming was stalled during the day for starred mobs, I could be wrong though.

[slender cradle]

My taming pit will be used the next night xD

[vapid warren]

the daytime problem is disabled if taming starts, including not eating

[slender cradle]

How often the 2 star ones spawn?

[lilac coyote]

There's a 1% chance of a spawn being 2 starred.

[slender cradle]

Even with night spawns?

[vapid warren]

only with night spawns

10% chance for a starred, and then 10% of that can be 2 starred, but only at nights

[slender cradle]

Ok I was sure the 1% thing was for "normal" spawns

[vapid warren]

its for most starred spawns

but wolves can only be starred at night

[slender cradle]

That will take some time taking my luck into account xD

First time I found a boar with 1 star was far away from my base with ocean in between and with how transporting animals works I thought it wasn't worth taming it xD

Wish they introduced some kind of leash that doesn't kill my animals when used

[sinful nest]

Hi! I'm having issues with acquiring silver. I've gone to 5 different mountains with the wishbone equipped and yet no silver. I'm full of obsidian and even found the dragon egg at this point. Is this a bug? Should I just spawn in silver via debug?

[vapid warren]

silver spawns at tall mountains. obsidian starts spawning at 100 meters above water, silver at 120 for reference

[marble roost]

^

It sounds like maybe you should have found it by now though

Just definitely try to go to the tallest mountain you can, and ensure the wishbone is equipped and not just in your inventory

[sinful nest]

I've read that and I've gone through the highest points of the mountains, in fact I ran across all 5 of them looking into every nook and cranny

[vapid warren]

sounds like bad luck tbh

[sinful nest]

so this ain't a bug? I should just keep on looking?

[vapid warren]

i think so yeah. you're sure it's equipped?

[marble roost]

Wouldn't imagine a bug like that happening, just bad luck or going for small mountains

[sinful nest]

100%

[vapid warren]

keep trying i guess

[sinful nest]

I'm literally Sisyphus man

thanks for the encouragment though

[halcyon crag]

the case of the missing n's

they must have gotten lost somewhere between Midgard and Valheim

[last lava]

does ||Brenna ||always spawn in smouldering tomb? or is it possible to have a tomb where she doesnt' spawn?

[vapid warren]

might be bugged, she's supposed to spawn in every one

[last lava]

what if ||she's ||been killed in a different tomb?

[vapid warren]

shouldnt matter

[last lava]

is there a way to spawn it? or it should be auto

[vapid warren]

you can use devcommands to spawn her, guide in pins, though it will require you to host the world from your client

[last lava]

sorry I mean,|| does she spawn in the larger rooms ||like a normal mob, you dont' have to drop anything or press any buttons

[vapid warren]

yeah she should spawn normally like any other mob

[last lava]

gotcha, yeah seems to be bugged D:

[finite birch]

I used to host a dedicated valheim server for my family through ScalaCube a while back, mainly my brother, father and i would play. But unfortunately my father passed away due to cancer so we all stopped playing. I thought i saved the world file of which we played months on and had giant mountain castles and swamp villages before cancelling the subscription, but when i loaded in the other day, it was only the Seed or something, no buildings or structures. Would anyone know how to get it back?

dm me or @ me so i see a response please.

[static finch]

does the dvergr tankard aggro dvergrs in the area if I take it?

[true steeple]

As long as nothing is damaged, it shouldn’t.

I have no idea what a dvergr tankard is but I’m assuming it’s pickable and not something you need to destroy.

[static finch]

yeah its a little cup i found uptop a guard tower

just picked it up at crossbow-point and they didnt shoot me so im safe

[stoic trench]

You can do the same with lanterns as well

[next zephyr]

Sorry for your loss.. I'm not familiar with ScalaCube. But there's a youtube channel for it to manage and download the world; https://youtu.be/H2VobJXZvdE?si=UNEmQyFNZcnTeSP0

If you're using Steam tool's Valheim Dedicated Server, it should locate in your Appdata > LocalLow.

[fringe cedar]

is there a devcommand to raise ground? wider area than the hoe?

[bright reef]

Are swamps usually this small?

[true steeple]

All biomes come in all sizes, they’re random.

But that’s very small.

[bright reef]

thank god i didnt spent too much time building a temp base lol

was so dissapointed at how small it was :3

[jolly elk]

Not in vanilla game.

[frail cave]

nope but trying now

[frail cave]

nope that gave the same result

[vapid warren]

When is it crashing. Launchinggame or loading into world? And is it crashing or not responding

[frail cave]

its crashing immediatley no loading screen or nothing

[dreamy basin]

can i parry or block the sealed tower boss without getting staggered? Im using a maxed blackmetal shield

[proven salmon]

Do you have to let piglets grow up before harvesting them for meat or do you still get meat/leather from piglets?

[static finch]

How do you level ||blood magic?|| Is it on every cast?

[marble roost]

Shield breaking gives 1 xp

Skelly hitting an enemy also gives 1

Not sure those are the exact values but basically you’ll get very little out of shielding, so way to level is getting skellies to hit enemies

[static finch]

I assume its best to go run at a graydwarf nest for the low hp but abundance of them?

[marble roost]

Yea. Greydwarf or draugr. It levels slow tho

A lot of people set up little platforms for archer skellies to shoot greydwarves

[plush knot]

draugr is better, most swamp spawners have two body piles and an undead pile, plus their respawn rate is a lot faster over greydwarves
only drawback is that the materials are pretty useless for anything beyond coal

[keen zodiac]

You can use mod for that
||"Valheim Tooler"||

[slender cradle]

Yea I saw even smaller. Like single swamp tree in the middle of the ocean with just enough land around it so it could stand on it. 5 draugr around it tho

[sullen tide]

is it normal to have severe lag at 93 FPS? local server

[keen zodiac]

Probably something isn't going well, check task manager for abnormal CPU usage or Ram clogging.

[sullen tide]

nothing

6900XT and 3700X, running on windows, constant stutters when running around

[keen zodiac]

Have you tried with low vegetation and graphics settings?

[sullen tide]

I'm on low vegetation always to see anything, but running at 93FPS and having constant frame drops does not sound like graphics settings to me

[keen zodiac]

I have only encountered such occasions with high CPU usage.

[gaunt mountain]

I have a question why does my friend whenever he picks up something say 1 bone fragment get 50 I don’t understand why we’ve tried to get rid of it but it’s confusing me does anyone know how to fix it

We tried creating a new character but it followed over. He’s on Pc I’m on Xbox I’ve played with other people like that and never had the issue

[keen zodiac]

Provide some screen record footage. So that we can check and verify if it's a bug or not and report to the devs.

[tawdry moat]

So last night I ran into a common problem I have with Moder. I can barely damage her. I was using fully upgraded Draugr Fang with poison arrows, and Frostner.

Worse still, there is a Stone Golem that spawns near her so I have to fight them both. And, she found my bed and smashed it.

I'm playing hardmode so now I have to sail from spawn to nearly the Ashlands to get back to my body. And I refuse to cheese her. Just someone tell me what weapon I need!

[spark shell]

Moder is immune to frost damage which is the major part of the damage from Frostner, that's one issue

[tawdry moat]

Midway through the fight I switch back to my Iron Aetgir and started doing more damage. But then the golem came back and smashed me.

At Respawn I got a You Are Being Hunted and Moder attacking my cabin at the same time...

[spark shell]

me and my gf just used iron mace and sword for moder, was quite easy

does take some prep

[tawdry moat]

Yeah I think sword must be the way to go.

[tawdry moat]

I did 8 hours of prep lol.

[spark shell]

xd

For the wolf raid, you can just run out the circle, it'll disappear (unlike other raids), i don't bother dealing with wolf raid lol

[tawdry moat]

For those I just jump on a rock spike. It's so steep they can't climb the upper ledge.

[spark shell]

that's another way to deal with it

[tawdry moat]

Frostner also SUCKS against Golems. But I love how good it is against wolves.

[spark shell]

frostner sucks against everything except wolves in mountains. it's just not made for it ngl but in plains and mistlands it's pretty good

[sullen tide]

any recommendations for huge crafting/smelting setups? I've tried to put the forge into the basement but I had so many chimneys that I couldn't populate the upper level anymore

[tawdry moat]

I forget who but I found a good factory layout on YouTube

[tribal hatch]

If I had generated my world right before the mistlands update, will the boss be there, and will ||Hildir also be on my map?||

[true steeple]

Yes, unless all their possible positions are in places already loaded

[odd stratus]

Hello everyone, I'm having the same problem again

Just a couple of days ago, my husband and I were playing on his server, everything was working, I could connect. He plays with the Xbox, I play with the PC.

There was a problem today, it was not possible to connect again. Moreover, we checked, a friend logged in from a PC and was able to log into my husband's server without any problems, but I can't again. I've tried everything. I restarted the computer, the router, changed the IPV-4, the firewall is also disabled. I don't understand what the problem might be. Moreover, this problem was solved in a strange way not so long ago, the next day everything just worked. Maybe someone has come across this after all? The server is shown as enabled, but I can't log in to it.

[tribal hatch]

Sweet, thanks 🫡

[odd stratus]

🥲

[dreamy basin]

Frostner or porcupine?

[stoic trench]

Frostner, 100%

[frail cave]

depends on the enemy and preferences, but usually frostner wins.
lox and stone golems are much easier with porcupine, and in terms of pure damage, porcupine beats frostner against enemies that are neutral to all relevant damage types but immune to spirit, but of course lacks the freezing effect and costs more stamina.

[keen zodiac]

🤔

Modded server?

[odd stratus]

No

[keen zodiac]

Is it a server or personal world?

[odd stratus]

personal world

[keen zodiac]

Were all 3 options ticked to be enabled?

[odd stratus]

If you're talking about cross-platform, then yes

[keen zodiac]

All 3 options must be enabled

• Start server
• Crossplay
• Community Server

[keen zodiac]

And what about the 3rd one?

Sometimes if you don't tick the 3rd option it causes issues while joining.

[odd stratus]

yes, the server is turned on correctly, because a friend from the PC could log in, but I can't join at the same time

[keen zodiac]

Wish I could have a live visual on it.
That way it would've been easier to follow up and fix the issue.

[odd stratus]

I threw off the magazine and described the problem in detail...

[keen zodiac]

I saw but fixing such issues doesn't work like that.
The support person has to see that what you are doing wrong to be unable to join.

Probably you are missing out on something which is causing this issue

[odd stratus]

I can drop something else if needed.

[keen zodiac]

There are several factors that can cause such issue

• Version mismatch
• Mods on client
• Mods on host
• improper integrity of game files
• steam account
• family sharing form factor
• inappropriate internet connection
• Windows network issue
• firewall corruption

[odd stratus]

I know, I've tried everything. The joke is that I have the same problem in a funny way. The computer just stood in the off state for the night and the next day I could join.

[keen zodiac]

So the best way to fix the issue would be-
3 people being in a voice channel and able to communicate directly

• The host
• The client
• The support

[keen zodiac]

😕

Ah man, just some temporary network glitch! 😕

[odd stratus]

maybe..

[odd stratus]

we would love to, but we are from Russia)

[static finch]

is eitr-weave gear worth the hassle, especially if you intend to fight ||the queen|| with it?

and yes I have all of the ||magic weapons||

[fathom badge]

Very much so. Eitr weave significantly increases your Eitr regeneration rate, you just need to avoid getting hit. Nice thing about magic use is it doesn't use stamina, so you can fire a bunch of spells, run away, and then repeat.

You don't need the full set, you can swap the hood for some better armor if you need to tank a few more hits and still get 80% increased eitr since there's no actual full set bonus

[marble roost]

it's good, if you're going for a ||magic || playstyle I like to run either Eitr armor, Fenris armor, or a mix of the two

[static finch]

I think eitr-weave hood and robes plus fenrir legs could work

and then feather cape

[marble roost]

mhm

[fathom badge]

The fenris hood increases speed too, right? I would suggest the eitr robes and pants with the fenris hood instead, since the eitr hood gives you the lowest regeneration boost of all the pieces

[marble roost]

Yea, but fenris hood is also the worst of the fenris gear because helmets never have movement penalties, so you're not getting as much benefit as if you had swapped out a movement obstructing chest or legs

but it also looks hella cool

[bright reef]

does haldor not have any quest?

[marble roost]

No

Just Hildr

[true steeple]

Haldor sells more items as you kill bosses

[subtle parrot]

Mmmm kill bosses, kielbasa

[sullen tide]

how do I remove the fuling village track?

[marble roost]

the music or the terrain?

[true steeple]

forcedelete 50 music_fulingcamp

[sullen tide]

music playing at that location, IIRC there was a devcommdand

[empty folio]

help

[true steeple]

what with?

[empty folio]

my items

they gone

[true steeple]

Can you load a backup of your world/character?

[empty folio]

no

[true steeple]

Why not?

[empty folio]

it happened a few months ago

[true steeple]

The backups should still be there if you havent used the saves since then

[empty folio]

i live in cyprus 😢

[fast cape]

what kind of armour and gear should you aim to have before doing stuff in the plains biome?

[true steeple]

Plains comes after mountains

[empty folio]

valhei

[true steeple]

how does that affect the situation?

[empty folio]

idk

i dont think loading abackup would help i just died and my tombstone disaooeared ithink

[true steeple]

A character backup would have the items on them. No idea why your grave would disappear though

[fast cape]

That I know, but should I have like wolf armour or silver armor if there is any silver armor in the game. And also how good is the crystal battleaxe?

[empty folio]

silvere armo

and get padded when can

[true steeple]

Wolf armor (+ drake helmet) is silver armor. The crystal battleaxe is situational, I'd make a frostner, wolf spear and silver shield

[empty folio]

frostner bad sword better

[fast cape]

padded?

[empty folio]

ye

[true steeple]

Frostner slows enemies and has very high knockback. The frost damage does more damage than blackmetal to seekers. It is bad against moder, which is why a second weapon should also be made.

[true steeple]

plains armor

[empty folio]

look just use your wolf armor until you find a fuling camp with flax. Use the flax to make thread and with that make padded armor for yagluth. Use sword and shield becaus

[empty folio]

no

[true steeple]

yes

[empty folio]

no

[marble roost]

yes

[empty folio]

but sword is cool looking

[marble roost]

I don't think Blob said sword wasn't cool looking

[empty folio]

glory to the CCP

anyway does anyone know why my items disappeared so i can avoid it next time

i was at mistlands with my best gear

[marble roost]

you'd prob have to give more information

[true steeple]

Save corruption?
Maybe not if they disappeared in the session you died

[empty folio]

i died by a seeker soldier and a gjall. Then used world modifiers for the first time so i can avoid enemy aggro until i got my items back since it would be unnecesary. when i got there my grave was gone

[marble roost]

Did you quit the game right after dying? Sometimes gravestones don't actually drop if the game is closed down right after death

[empty folio]

i think

[true steeple]

When this happens, just load a character backup. There's not much else you can do.

[empty folio]

topo late it happened in october and i started a new world recently

[fast cape]

Aight, seems like I'll have to travel a lot, since I've still not found Haldor in the black forest areas I've been to. Since all I need from him is the ymir flesh. Ty for help, both of u

[true steeple]

Backups of an old character aren't replaced by a new character. Only new sessions with the same character.

[fast cape]

Also what about the frostner is situational? Like where would it be practical to use it?

[true steeple]

Just have a look, the backup could be there

[empty folio]

what im saying is that idc about that world enough to load a backup

i was just curious to see what caused it

[true steeple]

Don't use it for moder or loxes (plains enemies). Use it when fighting yagluth (plains boss) and mistlands enemies.

[marble roost]

tbh frostner is a pretty solid weapon all around, holds up in both Plains and Mistlands super well despite being a mountain weapon.

But sucks against Moder, Stone Golems, and Lox

[fast cape]

aight I see, just not very optimistic about all the traveling to find that dwarf xD
