valheim-help

[jolly elk]

They might know more about that in the #mods-discussion channel here. 🙂

[smoky carbon]

thanks!

[trail lichen]

is there any way to affect the weather fog, or is it a differnet type of fog?

[gloomy edge]

Sadly, nope. In Mistlands you can clear the mists using dev commands but you can't do the same for regular weather fogs without mods

unless you mean changing the weather, then you can use /env clear

[untold edge]

anyone got 3 seeker trophies i can take? 😄

[agile cargo]

Which is the hardest biome

[trail lichen]

mistlands probably, but swamp sucks the worst imo

[marble roost]

Could always spawn them in. What for tho?

[marble roost]

First time encountering it I’d prob say Mistlands (a lot of people struggle with being visually impaired and needing to rely on sound cues and subtle visual cues). Once you get used to all the biomes I’d say Swamp

[subtle parrot]

That constant wet debuff is harsh

[fathom badge]

I've killed like, 15 and I just got my first one. No 😛

[fathom badge]

3 seeker trophies re-summon the Queen

[marble roost]

That’s what I figured, but assumed it was a mistake of seeker instead of seeker soldier

[trail lichen]

take everything you can. you're gonna need it at some point
like, everything. if it's not bolted down, take it.

you might run out of inv space or carry cap but do multiple runs to get everything

[fathom badge]

Food is a mechanic, not just to keep you from starving. It is the only way to heal, get more base health and stamina. Focus on making better food in each biome as soon as you can. Weapons, armor and tools are repairable. Any structures or work stations you build can be deconstructed and you get all the materials back. You cannot do that with armor, weapons and tools.

[tired notch]

I thought it was seeker soldier trophies

[fathom badge]

... you are correct. I was thinking soldiers for some reason. I should probably call it a night 😛

[tired notch]

I know I’m going to, gn!

[trail lichen]

anyone know if the civvie gear reduces fishing stamina usage? i figure not but worth asking

[night radish]

It doesn’t

[keen zodiac]

What's this (n-23) ?

[vocal saddle]

its sword or speer or the long thing that you spin with or the club

[subtle parrot]

Iirc it's the network version

[void frigate]

Hey guys, Im getting a weird error I don't know how to fix, I came back to Valheim after a while but it doesn't let me in my world

[keen zodiac]

Probably your cloud file got corrupted or removed.
You should've moved your world and character to local storage

[keen vine]

how are you supposed to bring new metal to your base when you cant bring them through a portal?

the swamp I'm at is miles from my base 😐

[junior ingot]

by boat 😛 ||or mods that allow metal though portal||

[true steeple]

You dont need mods, there’s a world modifier for it

[junior ingot]

ooooh yea 😛 i alwys forget those ><

[lilac coyote]

People still be sleeping on the world modifiers.

[manic lark]

is it just me or sea serphants are gone? i havent met a single one in my 277 days :C

[keen vine]

oh my god please tell me this is a joke and that there aren't large slithery water things.

I will never use a boat again

[manic lark]

spoilers sorry

[true steeple]

They are quite easy to kill with a finewood bow and karve, and their meat makes very good food

Make sure you aren’t using fire arrows

[manic lark]

and they have nice shield as well

[keen vine]

yeah how come this server has 0 spoiler warnings?

[true steeple]

They only spawn in rain or at night, so they’re very easy to avoud

[manic lark]

i mean scales that are used for shield

[true steeple]

Serpents aren’t much of a spoiler, they can be found very early.

[keen vine]

you underestimate the amount of time it takes me to move 5 feet

[manic lark]

ive spend hours looking for em at night and storms but nothing :C

[true steeple]

I usually have terrible luck in this game too, although not with serpents

[fair wharf]

750 hours in, and not a single serpent. Night, storm, day, clear weather. not a one 😦

[lilac coyote]

Make sure you're in full Ocean and not the shallows.

[fair wharf]

Land nowhere in sight. I figured large sea critters wouldn't like shallow water (unless it was dinner time 😄 ).

[tawdry moat]

Serpents always find me whenever I'm sailing to get my body with no equipment to deal with them. Just stow a good bow in the hold and trick the game engine into trying to screw you over.

[subtle parrot]

I too, am 280 days into my current playthrough and although i haven't sailed a ton, I have sailed a fair amount (at least what I'm comfortable with, without a map) and also not seen any serpents, but I've also not been trying to hunt them because I'm on very hard combat and figured they'd destroy my boat pretty quick lol

[marble roost]

It’s actually not too bad on v hard

I’ve killed 2-3 or so serpents without a bow or harpoon, in a karve on v hard without much issue

[subtle parrot]

That's what's up, I might have to give hunting them a go then, would love some stronger food

[halcyon crag]

most of the regulars here keep the heavy spoilers to either the PTB or suggestion discussion channels, light spoilers are always going to be a thing discussing a game in it's discord server, but we also still do our best to be sensitive and spoiler tag anything we think might be on the spoilery side, for the most part

[tired notch]

Anything could technically be a spoiler depending on where you're at in the game. The above conversation was about Serpents which have been in the game since EA release. We should all be considerate and keep information about new or future updates in PTB, but discussion about what has existed in the game for a while is going to be a commonplace within its community.

[agile cargo]

Is there a feature to set unchangeable /lock world modifier?

[fathom badge]

What do you mean? For yourself? You can't change the world modifiers on a dedicated server as just a player, but other than that, no, there's no way to lock a world in any way if you have direct access to the files. Plus, Valheim implicitly trusts the client, so client-side mods and such can circumvent some of that as well.

[warm jasper]

Good afternoon, I apologize for writing to the chat, I wish you a great mood and the coolest game in the world of Valheim, but I would like to ask. Is the console currently not working in the game?

[serene tangle]

It seems like there's a solution for your specific case (which is not really unique)
I recently implemented a tool on my site specifically for meta file recovery: http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/world-meta-recovery
I tried to make steps clear with explanations, but would you have any difficulties, don't hesitate to contact me in DM if you need.

[fossil gazelle]

Hey guys, I am trying to locate a ||Howling Cavern||. I have the locations on my map after visiting ||Hildir||. However I have been to three different locations and It seems like they haven't generated?! Is the spawn radius quite large from the marker for these ||caverns||? Any help would be great! Thanks.

[true steeple]

The marker should be right over the cavern, but if you obtained the marker in an old version the cavern won’t be there anymore

[fossil gazelle]

Ah right OK. That makes sense. So if I go back to ||Hildir|| will the locations update?

[night radish]

Gotta type -console into the startup menu on steam

[warm jasper]

This feature is enabled, before the patch everything worked since 10.04 everything does not work. But thank you))

[keen zodiac]

I have never used the world modifier, how does it work like?
I mean is it gonna change my worlds configs permanently or just for that session?

[true steeple]

It changes until you set it back when you want to

[night radish]

If you are using mods that enable it on dedicated servers then that may be why

[elder jewel]

what is the best way to find others who would let me play with them?

[buoyant peak]

Posting your server in #1024264966712340510 or join a server someone else posted there

[keen vine]

anyone else have issues with randomly losing several levels after reloading the game?

was this intended to be possible?

[vapid warren]

its risky

[carmine marten]

how do you find onion seeds in the mountains? do they grow normally?

[keen vine]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you can't post images elsewhere though 😦

[carmine marten]

#screenshots #mods-screenshots #building-screenshots

[keen vine]

oh ok

well it was kind of part of the conversation tho

[carmine marten]

ohh i see sorry

[keen vine]

you're good

[vapid warren]

seeds in chests

[carmine marten]

ok thanks

[sharp mulch]

Good day everyone. First time question. I started a dedicated server about 2 weeks ago and everything ran perfectly we played 5 people simultaneously no problems. I set the port forwarding and added the firewall rules. But tonight when I tried to connect it kept on saying failed to connect. I see the server in the community list, aka it picks it up but no matter how many times I try it keeps saying failed to connect. I reset my router. I've uninstalled the dedicated server reconfigured everything but to no avail. Does any one know if something maybe changed which I'm not aware of? Or what could possibly be the problem?

[vocal delta]

Hello everyone, i have a quick question, i have killed over 100 Fenrings without getting a single trophy, is it still in the game or am I just highly unlucky?

[vapid warren]

sounds highly unlucky, it's 10% droprate

[fathom badge]

You might get better help in #dedicated-server , this is more general gameplay help.

[tawdry moat]

Onion Seeds are found within chests in ruined buildings on the mountain. Definitely in cabins, and I've found them in broken towers too.

[static finch]

so anyways, is there a fast way to get the ||staff of protection?|| im in a coop server and want to help my friend tank damage when we reach the ||mistlands||

[static finch]

ive already gotten it by normal means in my first playthrough but im wondering if theres a faster method

[buoyant peak]

No fast way, you just have to be lucky to find five black cores minimum and at least a skull for the soft tissue

[static finch]

Aw that sucks

[buoyant peak]

Depends on RNG

And you also need black metal axe to get yggdrassil wood unless you trick a soldier into breaking one

And blood sack from ticks

[static finch]

I could probably get most of the materials at my current iron age with enough misery and trial and error

[true steeple]

You’d need to kill moder

[static finch]

Soldiers are very slow, so you could for sure bait a few hits on a tree

[buoyant peak]

That's how I did it before killing yag.

But I did have black metal axe

[buoyant peak]

Oh yeah, this is not even optional

[static finch]

Right

[buoyant peak]

Galdr table needs artisan table

[trail lichen]

how do you make horizontal item stands? I've can only find the vertical one and I feel like I'm being very silly

[true steeple]

Horizontal item stand should be next to it

[trail lichen]

LOL thank you, it has a picture of a tankard so my brain immediately ignored it when searching the list with my eyes

[sand vessel]

Helloo, I got a problem in valheim, I was play in my world and i was created another world in creative and i thing it is a bug, it's pass all objects to my individual world to the another world. please can solve it this bug

[dark gust]

if you have one character on multiple worlds, that character's inventory will carry over between worlds

[maiden kiln]

Ran into an issue today where a smelter will just nom nom materials but not produce anything - also can't disassemble it and it's apparently able to float... Has anyone ran into a similar issue?

[real nebula]

Server? Might want to leave and rejoin, sounds like some bad desync issues

[maiden kiln]

makes sense - gonna give it a go

feel dumb for digging the hole now lol - that worked

thanks @real nebula

[whole arch]

is there an eta on ashlands just currious

[whole arch]

but it just said first quarter of 2024

[real nebula]

Please refer to the pin in #valheim-chat

It's always been first half of 2024, never first quarter

[kindred moon]

Hello everyone, everything good? I need help with a dedicated server I created in the game. I was playing normally with my friends but now I can't connect to it anymore. I've already updated the game on steamcmd and on steam too, what could be happening? Ports 2456 to 2458 are free on my internet router and I'm using Google's DNS. I update the game in steamcmd too with the command app_update 896660

[trail lichen]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 you might find better help here

[agile cargo]

Ok got it thanks 👍🏻

[kindred moon]

thanksss!

[keen zodiac]

I tried it with 2 cart in one karve, while returning home i met with a storm and lost one of the carts out in the ocean 🌊😔

Later i was able to recover the itema since that cart had a decent health leftover and i think it is better to break the cart to get cargo boxes

[sick peak]

Hiya, I havent played Valheim for over a year, and I'm having difficulty installing mods. Is something wrong with the current version of BepInEx?

[silk falcon]

whats the best way to clear the elder

me and my friends arent dealing enough dps to clear him and we all have bronze weapons

[sick peak]

Easiest? Dig a trench under the platform, make a little room down there. Shoot from the trench and duck in during attacks

[silk falcon]

without cheese, what items should i have to beat him

[sick peak]

Fire arrows

[silk falcon]

do they deal extra damage to him?

[sick peak]

Yeah the have a DOT effect, just rain fire on him.

[silk falcon]

alright thanks

[sick peak]

he's weak to fire.

[silk falcon]

i assumed that but i wasnt sure if it was true

[subtle parrot]

Fire arrows, finewood bows and axes. He's a big treeman.

[silk falcon]

axes deal more damae to him?

as in the same axe that you use to cut down trees yea?

[subtle parrot]

They don't do more damage, he's not weak to them, but they work well imo.

Bronze specifically at that stage

But he is weak to fire, and a level 4 finewood bow is the best you can make at that stage, and fire arrows are easy to make

[silk falcon]

can i set my spear on fire

[subtle parrot]

Nope, no fire spear lol

[silk falcon]

alright htanks

[rocky laurel]

I can't figure out how to start the game without opening Steam first. Anyone got any ideas? @lapis terrace said it's possible here: #general message
I have tried creating a shortcut straight to valheim.exe. It opens up Valheim, shows the logo, loads a bit, then shuts down on its own. I just have to open Steam first every time. I cant have that cause I've only got 16 gb of ram and this steamwebhelp.exe is eating up 800 mb right away, even though I just opened it. Maybe it's because I've got a bunch of other games installed. Last time it was around 1.6 gb after a while.

[agile cargo]

Do leviathan respawn?

[rocky laurel]

okay so from what I gathered online, it seems that Steam DRM is causing the game not to open without Steam being open and logged in to play..

[real nebula]

Steam and Valheim should run just fine in 16GBs of RAM

[subtle parrot]

No

[rocky laurel]

The resource monitor above clearly shows that I'm already using 50% of my memory without Valheim running. With Valheim running, it would be around 70% something.. sure I could close Firefox, but I need it for other tasks. I guess I'll just have to upgrade my memory.

but I don't know why Smiffe said you could open Valheim without Steam when it's actually not possible.

[hollow mantle]

According to my task manager, Valheim (launched via the Steam browser) takes up around 2-3gb of RAM when playing it. This may change over long play sessions, but should be fixed by just exiting the game and restarting it. If you are only using 50% of 16gb (8gb) of RAM, then you should still have plenty of memory to run the game. Finally, just installing games shouldn't use up RAM. However, if you are trying to run multiple games, that will occupy your RAM.

[barren seal]

Yesterday I played Valheim and everything was fine, now that I try to play it today the FPS is really low (around 2-5 fps), I am thinking it might be due to a graphics driver update? (using an integrated GPU on a laptop), any ideas?

[keen zodiac]

I'm running Discord + Chrome + Valheim + Steam. All of these on 8GB ram 🙂

[alpine geode]

Hey short question: Can you tame multiple boars in one cage? What happens if some get tamed and some are still not fully tamed will they kill each other?

[buoyant peak]

No

[alpine geode]

thanks man

[tame herald]

Hello!
Can you expain me what's wrong... I can't start my server and my friend can't join to my game. There is "Connection" and then "Connection is failed".
We are online in Steam. We have new version of game. The Internet connection is good. And also we have reinstalled the game. Also in other games we can join each other.

Please, help!

[hot lion]

try changing the dns server

preferred to 8.8.8.8 and alternate to 8.8.4.4

I have come across this problem and that seemed to have helped

or

you can try and re install steam and valheim again

I hope this can help!

[fossil gazelle]

Do you know of a way to solve this? Will the dungeons still be in the map, just at different locations?

[true steeple]

Interact with hildir’s table again after clearing all her markers from your map

[fossil gazelle]

Ok thanks, will try that.

[marble roost]

Future biomes that get added could potentially have fire spears, but not yet. Next biome to come is a... fire biome ❤️‍🔥

[swift lava]

I can't hop into game right now, but it occurs to me I'd like to know what the thickness of core wood log beams is. As in, when you stack the horizontal logs, how tall do they get, is it like 0.5m?

[rocky laurel]

but are you on windows 11?

[keen zodiac]

🥲

10!

[rocky laurel]

im in a massive base shared with others, this isnt good isnt it? Im curious is overclocking worth it and will it improve my fps? I've heard it might wreck your gpu instead

[loud linden]

No, that's not great. Which GPU are you running?

[fathom badge]

For 30k instances, that's not unexpected unless you've got a high-end machine built in the last 2-3 years or so.

[rocky laurel]

its fairly old 🥲

[loud linden]

I've only recently upgraded from a GeForce 1060 and it's similar spec to the RX 580. The massive base might be the issue... Managing a very large number of player-placed assets is probably the largest draw on graphics resources in the game.

[keen zodiac]

don't!

[fathom badge]

Is that a custom-built machine? If so, one thing that may help is making sure that XMP is turned on

[fathom badge]

Graphics, but even more so memory and CPU. Going through each one of those pieces, calculating the stability, checking if they should be rendered, it takes a lot of work. Valheim is surprisingly very CPU limited when you start getting large builds.

[loud linden]

I meant that to be implied. 'Graphics resources' aren't limited to the GPU.

But yeh, memory is a contributing factor.

[rocky laurel]

no clue I'll need to ask my brother since it's his old PC passed down to me, and I'll have to Google how to enable XMP

[fathom badge]

It's a BIOS setting, but if it's a Dell or something it's not going to be something you can change

[proven salmon]

Does the recall command not work? I can't seem to get the console to recognize any names

[elder panther]

Okay, am I missing something here? What's going on?

[sour sapphire]

Is there a mod that has snap-points for the goblin building pieces? I found a few with the parts but the center points and snap-points don't work.

[elder panther]

The Etir Refinery is doing 60 dmg hits to black marble and iron (which I thought it wasn't supposed to), and the Etir produced is damaging the refinery itself, eventually breaking it

[real nebula]

#mods-discussion

[real nebula]

The eitr refinery damaging itself is definitely odd, are you running any mods?

Ope, I see that you are

Would you be able to recreate this on a vanilla fresh world with all mods disabled?

[elder panther]

I can try, not sure why any of the mods im using would allow it though

[real nebula]

We can't predict any mod interactions, and this channel is strictly for help with the vanilla game, anyhow

The fact that this wasn't previously reported during the PTB stage of this patch - or after live branch push - makes me think it's a mod issue

[elder panther]

alright, well i just threw together a marble and iron building on a solo world... ill see if its a mod, and if so which one

[real nebula]

Just so you know, am running a test myself and so far neither loose refined eitr nor the refinery itself is causing any damage to iron, black marble, or the refinery. Definitely check your mods.

[elder panther]

Thanks for the input, issue is resolved

[real nebula]

Cheers~

[delicate steppe]

when taming mobs, is it better to drop food as single items or in stacks?

[buoyant peak]

Stacks. Unless you enjoy lag

[delicate steppe]

i do, thanks

[tawdry moat]

Which axe is actually good against trees, as in yellow damage ticks.

[true steeple]

Trees arent weak to any damage types so nothing does yellow numbers to them

[keen vine]

how do you get iron off the sea floor?

[true steeple]

If there is land nearby, build a staircase and dive to retrieve it. Otherwise it’s gone.

[keen vine]

land is somewhat nearby

[keen vine]

how do I do that?

[true steeple]

With a hammer and some materials

[keen vine]

EXPLAIN

[true steeple]

It’s like building a house but it’s only wood ladder (and maybe some extra stuff to support it)

[keen vine]

do you use the staircase to push yourself down??

[true steeple]

When you fall into water from a high place you sink further before floating back up

[keen vine]

thank you

[tawdry moat]

Either make a high dive platform and when you splash low in the water, attempt to hit the action button and pick it up.

Or, get a hoe and raise the land to a height where it can be reached.

Otherwise you are screwed. I think some kind of deep diving mechanic would be a welcome addition to Valheim. Something simple like in Zelda OOT.

[keen vine]

oh my god the diving platform worked I got them both

[pallid lichen]

Some one here has problem with the Console Xbox Gamepass?

[true steeple]

What problem?

[rocky cairn]

how do i get the forge i defeated the deer boss but i can’t craft the forge

[cerulean lark]

you need copper

you havent unlocked the schematic yet?

[vapid warren]

deer boss allows you to mine metal, you need to get the thing to smelt the metal, then you can make the forge

[rocky cairn]

yeah i haven’t unlocked the ability to craft it

[cerulean lark]

maybe you need to get some coal or something to unlock it

time to head to the black forest !

[rocky cairn]

i have all the mats except i can’t craft it

i defeated the boss in another world to but i still can’t craft the forge

[cerulean lark]

hmmm maybe a bug?

ah it says you need workbench nearby

i suppose that aint the issue right?

[fading star]

Have you gotten the surtling core?

[rocky cairn]

i just got like right as i’m sending this message

[trail lichen]

do you reckon those are their brains or hearts or what
where is the surtling core located in a surtling's body

[fathom badge]

It's distilled, burning hatred

[rocky cairn]

wait so i killed the deer boss and i have the surtling core plus i have all the requirements to craft the furnace so i should have the schematic to craft it now hopefully?

[lilac coyote]

It should be in your build menu, yeah.

[keen zodiac]

Bronze Axe for starters and Black Metal Axe for end game.

[tawdry moat]

I know that, I meant... does anything come closer to Elder buff.

[lilac coyote]

Closer?

[marble roost]

Make Smelter and charcoal kiln with surtling cores. Make coal with kiln, put coal in smelter along with copper. This makes smelted copper which allows you to make the forge

Forge won't have many recipes until you get smelted tin too

[last osprey]

Jotun Bane does once you get your woodcutting skill up a little, at least against birch and beech trees.

[compact heath]

Yotun bane for absolute endgame

Elder Buff and whatever best axe you have access to is always best

[keen zodiac]

Nah, Jotun bane has less slash than black metal axe.
I'm not gonna use an axe for fighting so the poison is useless for me.

[buoyant peak]

But higher chop damage, which the original question was for

Trees care little for slash damage

[short ridge]

do greylings get scared off by standing torchs?

[compact heath]

Jotun bane has more chop damage than black metal axe, thats the stat used for cutting wood

[serene tangle]

It consumes more stamina though

http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/mining/tree - comparison table for woodcutting and other mining

[nimble pilot]

Hey, I have a question: how can I apply for this building of the month or how else it works
Thanks in advance for the answers

[nimble pilot]

thank you

[timid cape]

Please tell me who and where to write to find out about attaching the turnip to the vertical stand. Before the update it was attached, but now it is not. Is this necessary, or is this a bug that needs to be corrected?

[lilac coyote]

Eh? It's not necessary.

[trail lichen]

my bow is like -29 durability all of a sudden in the middle of fighting moder - how does this happen, is it intentional?

[buoyant peak]

Are you saying it has less than zero durability and hasn't broken or that in a few shots it got lowered by 29?

[trail lichen]

happened in the middle of the fight, had to switch to melee. eventually got her with a spear throw, like that one dude at a ren fair with the drone

[buoyant peak]

I'm 99% sure it's mods.

And that 1% remaining is the margin of error in case mods are not involved and it is a vanilla bug I haven't seen. Ever

[trail lichen]

I was about to say, it'd be very strange if I had a bug caused by mods considering I haven't got any installed.

[willow raft]

@lapis terrace We might have found a bug here, bring the bug spray.

[trail lichen]

Why are there bugs in the mountains? Aren't they supposed to be in the mistlands? (/joke)

On a more serious note, do I need to report it anywhere specific?

[willow raft]

#steam-bugs-discussion maybe or was it xbox?

[trail lichen]

steam, lol. i didn't know you could take screen snips like above on xbox

[lapis terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funnycat-do-not-the-cat-cat-stand-standing-cat-gif-21835424

[lapis terrace]

what bow did you use?

what ammo?

and gimme player.log file

and singleplayer / multiplayer?

[trail lichen]

Draugr-Fang Level 4
Fire Arrows
Singleplayer
Middle of Moder fight, tons of debris about, stone golem and drakes on my ass too. IIRC it didn't break after a shot/while shooting but in the haze of combat I could be wrong about that. EDIT: For clarity, I think I took some shots and it was fine, moved to dodge and avoid attacks, then when trying to shoot again noticed it was unequipped and broken. I moused-over it to see the durability, thinking I couldn't have taken 250 shots already (I brought about 300 arrows, and had about 100 left over when it broke), and noticed it was at -29/250 Durability.

Where do I find that file?

[lapis terrace]

in this hidden folder

C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

[trail lichen]

there ya go

@lapis terrace I've avoided repairing it in case it mattered, can I do that now

[lapis terrace]

repair?

[trail lichen]

the bow

[lapis terrace]

you can if you want to 🤔

never ever seen this before in singleplayer

I've seen simular issues when someone played with another user who had mods

like. you borrow a bow that you your friend. have level 40s, or are higher durability due to item edit mods

or someone is close to you, with mods

[trail lichen]

what can I say, I'm built different

[lapis terrace]

aperantly 😄

[lost swift]

I've had the negative weapon durability thing, I did it the same way blocking Moder shots.

Iirc I was able to repair my weapon though.

[trail lichen]

I mean, I'm able to as well, I just held off doing it in case it mattered for the log or something

I wonder if it's the type of damage hitting the bow and affecting the durability like it's a building or structure, like chop or pickaxe or something

[lost swift]

I think you were at low durability and Moder hits hard and the durability routine subtracts without checking whether it makes it negative.

That's a good theory about the chop and pickaxe damage.

[serene tangle]

I can think of a scenario when you get negative durability.
You fire an arrow, then press right click to block and both reduce the durability. But that way it could probably go only down to -1...

[fair hatch]

Anyone know of a good summary of major additions to Valheim since launch? I played a ton early on but stopped just before the Hearth & Home update and started a new character / save this week. Basically looking for a returning players guide I guess.

[buoyant peak]

Play as you would and discover everything progressively

Why reading it when you can just experience it?

[fair hatch]

Because my playstyle is to be informed 😊. But I’ll go through and read through the patch history at some point this week.

[lapis terrace]

Hm.. gonna try that 🤔

but yeah. just repair it @trail lichen

[hollow vessel]

I didn't play before Hearth and Home, but I doubt it changed playstyle that much? Maybe a slightly increased emphasis on exploration I suppose.

[lilac coyote]

H & H utterly changed the food meta and quite a bit of combat too.

[hollow vessel]

Thanks didn't know that lol. How did food change?

[buoyant peak]

Food was divided in HP, balanced and stamina foods that mostly increase their respective stat

They used to give the same amounts based on tiers

[lost swift]

Yeah - it's in the "BlockAttack" method on the Humanoid class. If they were at 1 durability and sustained one of Moder's ice spikes, that easily gets -29.

[lapis terrace]

yeah. probably why

[lost swift]

Not a huge deal - it's mostly just a display thing, whether negative or 0 the thing is broken hahaha

[lapis terrace]

yup yup

[lost swift]

... I've never tried using a broken item, does the game make a k-thud / boy-yoy-yoing sound?

[lapis terrace]

🤷

Good afternoon, how are you all, I would like to know if there is a solution to an error that started happening to me since I installed some Mods (I tried uninstalling them but the same error continued) that when I lie down in a bed to sleep I get the "Unloading Unused Assets" and The game freezes completely and does not load again, I would like to know how to solve it please

Anyone help me with swamp crypt? I think this is right channel if so please dm

[visual radish]

Just say what you need help with here, no reason or need to redirect people to dms. And if you're looking for someone to join your world, regardless of the reason, it does not belong in this channel (you would want #1024264966712340510 for that).

my b

[ashen jackal]

can someone explain?

they made a whole new biome after mistlands but they didnt finish queen loot table?

[pearl mortar]

Because it will be used for Ashlands... Like how all the other boss drops are used for the next biome. Yag used to have a placeholder item too

[ashen jackal]

Oh Ashlands arent out?

[lilac coyote]

Um, no?

[true steeple]

Ashlands and deep north are still empty placeholder versions

[timber pelican]

hey so i havent gotten on the game in a minute and i died on my last play through and my stuff is stuck on a mountain could anyone help?

[trail lichen]

what kind of help do you need? if it's advice you want we can give plenty here, but if you're looking for someone to join you to help you get it back, try #1024264966712340510

[timber pelican]

advice for right now

[trail lichen]

so I just did a quick test, and blocking a neck's attack took 2 durability off the bow. following this reasoning, if I was low enough, accidentally blocking a moder attack could well have slammed me into negative durability, assuming there's nothing stopping durability from coming up as a negative value when the cost is greater than the remaining value

about that, I would know absolutely nothing. if i had to guess there's usually code in place to stop certain values from being negative, and with this bow, there just isn't. didn't seem to affect gameplay in any unintended way, obviously the bow was broken and couldn't be equipped anymore, but "it has been remade!" and now works fine again as usual.

[umbral python]

Hello, just bought Valheim and excited to try it out. I avoided the steam purchase since I don't have or want steam and bought from Humble, but they only point me to steam. is there no standalone installer?

[real nebula]

There is not, you need to authorise your Humble purchase through Steam

[trail lichen]

what kind of advice? i'd say your best bet is to get 3 decent stamina food and frost resist mead, equip eikthyr power, and then get as close as you safely can without going into mountains. when you're there, pop the power, eat the foods, drink the mead, and sprint and jump as fast and safely as you can to your tombstone. grab your stuff and run the hell away as fast as you can back to black forest or meadows where you'll be safe to re-arm and recover

[lost swift]

I looked - there isn't. The durability subtraction would happen and the thing that updates the item's status would see <= 0 and snap. The inability to use the weapon is the safeguard you're talking about. It's possible to use things like unsigned numbers to ensure it never goes below zero that brings other fun challenges.

[trail lichen]

ooh, interesting, thanks! again, i know very little about coding and values and such but it seems interesting to have a safeguard against negative durability that a) doesn't work and b) doesn't seem to safeguarding against anything? like, my game didn't crash, my bow didn't delete itself or implode my world or anything, aside from the number saying "-29" it was the same as if it said "0"

overall feels like one of those "well, it LOOKS a bit weird but ultimately isn't actually broken so probably best to not try and fix it" scenarios

[lost swift]

Yeah, that's what pretty much what Smiffe said.Its a display bug that doesn't affect functionality.

[trail lichen]

i wonder if it's replicable with other very hard-hitting enemies or other weapons/shields

[keen zodiac]

That's a surprise for new update.

[trail lichen]

anyone got any up-to-date guides on taming wolves and their uses once tamed?

[oblique hawk]

Up to date? Nothing's changed about how that works except that there's no longer a chance for a night spawn wolf to despawn after it has started taming.

Trap them with food to tame them (they'll eat once calm, it takes 30 minutes of acclimatizing and each food lasts for 10 minutes unless interrupted).
They're useful as food source, hunting companions or just company.

[keen vine]

is there a way an you rotate buillding pieces around the x axis?

[trail lichen]

don't think so, just the z. some pieces come in different shapes for this but the limited variation often means you gotta get pretty creative with it

[trail lichen]

aye so boars but they're a lot sharper. cool. can you tell them to do things? or do they just roll around doing their own thing

[oblique hawk]

You can tell them to stay or follow, stay makes them stay in a small area, while follow makes them follow you.

[shrewd swan]

For some reason this part of the wall keep falling down after a long time I place it back. Any idea why?

[distant plaza]

No idea, but I would throw some iron beams hidden there somewhere, see if that helps keep everything together.

[shrewd swan]

I did actually. It's inside the pillars.

[distant plaza]

I would extend it up to the ramparts, then, since they look like they need help.

[loud linden]

Do you want a hand in-server? A second pair of eyes?

All I'm doing these days is exploring anyway.

[subtle parrot]

Connected the iron beams all the way into the ground? Although it doesn't really seem high enough for it to be so unstable for stone

Also have you tried, raising the ground with the hoe, and then re-flattening it in that spot specifically?

[subtle parrot]

They are squishy tho, glass cannons so breed a good amount of them and keep a couple pinned up away from the group in case of raids.

[shrewd swan]

No I haven't tried that.

[shrewd swan]

Maybe later.

[shrewd swan]

@loud linden I could use some help on building now I suppose. I don't know how to make my world public though.

[frail cave]

I am using mods, bettercontinents and my steamdeck has none, seeing as the file path had to be the same for all on the cloud, Im guessing the steamdeck/cloud was essentially causing a problem

[fathom badge]

Gotcha. Yeah, that will be issues in general. If you're using a modded game you should ask in #mods-issues and not here, the assumption here is that it's the mainline release

[frail cave]

yeah, didnt think that would be the problem at first then realised will ask there in future thanks

Hello Everyone! Someone knows how to enable vulkan on Valheim from Microsoft store?

[harsh torrent]

Whenever I try to open the game, I get a bluescreen of death and the error is "Driver Power State Failure"
I tried: Verifying files, reinstalling game, restart pc yet nothing seems to work so how do I fix that?
(Im on Win10 using Steam version)

[fathom badge]

Is your machine a laptop, or did you wake it from sleep before starting the game? Do other games do the same thing? That is a Windows driver issue, not something with Valheim specifically. Have you updated all your drivers to the latest supported version? What hardware are you using?

[buoyant peak]

Does anyone know if these are functional? I'm intrigued on their description now that I'm thinking of starting a new world

And if they are, what are the conditions for them to work? Boss/enemy kills? Trophies mounted? Both?

[warm yarrow]

How to optimize this unoptimized game?

[fathom badge]

First off would be to not make blanket statements. In general, Valheim takes more CPU and memory resources than most games due to it's nature. Otherwise, have you played with the settings, turned down the shadows and point lights specifically? Render scaling can add a lot of performance too if your limitation is your GPU.

[warm yarrow]

I played with everything, it doesn't help. The graphics card and processor are not even half loaded

[fathom badge]

What kind of hardware do you have? Is this in a brand new world?

[warm yarrow]

The world is old. RTX 4070 graphics card, Ryzen 5 5600x processor

[lapis terrace]

and RAM? size, speed, CL's?

the old guide still works mostly

[warm yarrow]

[lapis terrace]

nice

bought them as a pair right?

[warm yarrow]

yes

[lapis terrace]

depending on what issues you have. usually the smoke is the culprit

but watch the video

[lapis terrace]

I wouldn't use those

we tested some things. it's basicly really... test-bed that isn't so fun atm

we did that when we did Hildir stuff and some of us had time to spend experimenting

[buoyant peak]

Well, I was going to create a new game to test it on the process considering it would be a long term process.

Is there a risk of broken world?

[lapis terrace]

unsure atm

possibly

but testing a unfinished, unbalanced and pretty much broken state isn't something I would recommend

[buoyant peak]

Also, need a reminder on something: globalkeys enabled via devcommands that are not available in the modifiers window reset after exiting the world right?

[lapis terrace]

um. they sticky

[buoyant peak]

Well, good thing I asked first then...

[buoyant peak]

So... Yes?

[lapis terrace]

they should be stick

[buoyant peak]

Wasn't there a command that shows all enabled keys? Can't find it

[lapis terrace]

listkeys

but. it's unfinished so unsure if it works correctly 😄

[true steeple]

Smiffe, I know this is off-topic but I might as well ask while you’re here.
Do you know if enemies were ever going to be able to jump? I noticed when I made everything bouncy that greylings and necks have working jump animations. No reason other than I’m curious.

[buoyant peak]

Meaning it doesn't show all keys or what?

[lapis terrace]

some can already jump

[buoyant peak]

blobs and oozers

[lapis terrace]

but as always. don't expect us to develop older biomes

we move forward

we don't add bloat

[buoyant peak]

Also, I'm sure many would hate the idea of not being able to be completely safe no matter what you do

Having said that, make trolls jump walls

[distant plaza]

Listen, Black Forest is bad enough as is with regular trolls, I don't need them to be able to jump

[lapis terrace]

troll smashes fists into ground and jump walls. -hulk style? 😄

[pearl mortar]

Attack on Titan style 💀

[true steeple]

They could pole vault with their trees. That would mean sprinting trolls, too

[lapis terrace]

I would rather see them throw that tree as a spear 😄

[harsh torrent]

Im on desktop, my pc had been running for like 4 hours when i tried to play and its the ONLY game that does this, all my drivers are up to date and the game is on my HDD

[lapis terrace]

^ do a clean re-install of your GPU Drivers

it's adviced to do it every 6 months to avoid getting issues

[distant plaza]

... Ohhhhhh...

[lapis terrace]

Nvidia have more of this issue than AMD 😦

basicly. Nvidia stacks updates ontop of other updates

which can and will create issues down the line as you just keep on adding

eventually, something will be a problem like a drivers name being messed up

[silver ridge]

Is the game downloaded from steam? If not, then that might be the issue

[lapis terrace]

sounds more like a hardware issue

like harddrive is dying, or power supply is under perfoming

[silver ridge]

Saw a reddit post once, regarding a game( flat out 2) doing the same issue on someone. And it turned out it was because it was cracked

[lapis terrace]

ouch yeah

cracked version can do anything from just partially broken to set your PC on fire (almost)

[silver ridge]

When I read his comment, that was the first thing that popped my mind

[lapis terrace]

I've seen tons of failing hardware

if it's drivers or sofware. unity game engine crashes to desktop

if it's hardware related. then blue screen of death

[silver ridge]

Also, one more thing can be the cracked windows too. This can also have similar outcome . There was a case where a person had a cracked windows and tried to install a game that required some windows feature which name I'm forgetting now, but has numbers in it( I know it's not ms2000 but something similar).
When the game installed the oficial version, the windows crashed and kept loading into recovery mode

@lapis terrace may I address some questions to you in private? Promise they're strictly work related!

[lapis terrace]

sure

[buoyant peak]

They do, even when leaving the game.

Last time I was told, they used to reset after even going to main menu. This is a great improvement

[lapis terrace]

yes 🤔

[harsh torrent]

i was able to play before

[frail cave]

Whats the best way to block spawns in valheim

[trail lichen]

with a shield

[cursive dew]

Hey guys. Is it still worth it to do popping mining?

[trail lichen]

what is that

[cursive dew]

mine around the ore and under till it explodes

[trail lichen]

works with silver for sure, did it earlier, copper goes too deep, tin is too small, and iron is only in mudpiles

at least, generally speaking, i think copper goes too deep.

i didn't know it had a name though

[cursive dew]

i just made it up tbh but everyone usually says it "pops"

[fathom badge]

Liberal placing of campfires around the area you want to stop things appearing. Any base object like workbenches or torches will do, but campfires aren't attacked on sight like most of those things. They all have a 20m radius of spawn prevention, so overlap them to create fully spawn proof areas.

[fathom badge]

For silver, yes. For copper, I've only had it happen a few times, but it's more work than it's worth in my experience. It's also good for the metal sources in the Mistlands, presuming you haven't gotten there yet I don't want to fully spoil it.

[frail cave]

Thank you

[proven salmon]

Does a campfire prevent item despawn or just workbenches?

I was going to do a troll cave chicken farm but wasn't sure how the seed situation will work

[fathom badge]

I believe they both do. Worth testing.

[proven salmon]

Yeah good point, I'll just toss some seed in there after they hatch and see if the seeds end up disappearing

Or maybe I'll come back to like 100 chickens 😄

[fathom badge]

They won't eat or lay eggs unless you're in range and they're rendering. They will hatch from eggs though while you're away.

[proven salmon]

If the troll cave is right outside my base is the interior rendered while I'm nearby?

Like within 50-75m

[trail lichen]

i don't think interiors are rendered at all unless you're inside them. from what i know things pause in areas/"instances" you're not in

[gusty citrus]

Mhm!

Torches might do that as well, or any other fire source

[last osprey]

It does. Anything that provides player base does afaik.

[lilac coyote]

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

[last osprey]

There's a limit, hens stop laying eggs once you get to a certain density (i think it's 15 hens & eggs in a 10m radius or something like that). You can get around that a little by building separate pens inside the cave out of Sitting Logs (one of the few items you can build in dungeons) though.

[lapis terrace]

before was before.
when some hardware starts to fail. it will do so

you can usually see why your PC crash with blue screen in the windows event viewer software

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-event-viewer-windows-10

[willow raft]

You deinstall everything Nvidia related and start over with a new slate, fresh drivers and such.
With AMD that is done for you.

[coral prairie]

So it gives safety but not efficiency 😔 reasonable trade-off tho

[gusty citrus]

Stiffer, will you be my godfather?

[lapis terrace]

wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

this issue also happens on AMD

but not as frequent

[lapis terrace]

this is because:
Hens stand still when your away
eggs have internal "clocks" when to hatch

[gusty citrus]

Please don't ignore me, Smith

[coral prairie]

Oh! So hatching in a cave before moving out to a coop could be a good — oh wait no

[willow raft]

True because they do tend to remove more and reinstall more while Nvidia "patches / adds on" more.

[last osprey]

You can just go into your chicken cave, feed them, wait a minute or two until they've laid their eggs and leave again. Come back a few days later and they've hatched (if there's fire).

[lapis terrace]

laying eggs before leaving is the way to go

[coral prairie]

I was thinking of moving the chickens, but yeah just moving eggs out is pretty obvious haha

Plus you can’t just move those damned chickens……..

[willow raft]

Once a chicken gets into a cave it will remain a cavechicken for the rest of its life, if you leave it long enough who knows what it will evolve into.

[short ridge]

i thought braziers couldnt be used in greydwarf farms as they take damage when burning things?
are braizers the only thing that dont take damage when they burn something?

[candid dawn]

So, im not interrested in making a boar farmer, but i want 3-4 small farms with boars, how far do they have to be from eachother in order to not be close enough for the 5 cap limit?

[willow raft]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Boar#Breeding

[candid dawn]

is a standard wood wall 1 meter?

[willow raft]

Wood wall 1*1 is 1m, wood wall is 2m, wood beam 1m is 1m, wood beam is 2m.

[candid dawn]

lol it litterly says, sorry

anyone know a simple fish trap that would work here?

[brazen thunder]

hello, is there a way to duplicate a save file? so i can have 2 worlds with the exact same buildings, progressions etc, but when i play on one it doesn't affect the other

[distant plaza]

I don't know about exact same buildings, but couldn't you just copy the seed and use that?

[brazen thunder]

well yeah but then i wouldn't have the buildings. i have a world we play on with my friend, unfortunately he won't be able to play for a while so since we already made a lot of progress, i wanted to copy the world, so i can play on my own and when he gets back we can just continue

[fathom badge]

You can copy the files and make a back up, and then restore it, but there's no easy way to rename a world so you could have them in parallel at the same time. For what you're saying there though, just save the .db and .fwl files for the world (you need both of them, do not forget either!) in a zip file or something and then you should be good to go. When you want to restore it, just extract them and place it back where they belong.

[brazen thunder]

alright i'll try that, thanks

[brazen thunder]

where can i find these .db and .fwl files though? when i go into "AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local" i only have these files, wich i believe there are three for each save it looks like

[fathom badge]

Is it a cloud saved world? You may need to go into the game and convert it to a locally saved world before you can make the back ups.

[brazen thunder]

ah i see, yes i believe it is cloud saved by default

[fathom badge]

The cache files are just minimap caches

You can safely ignore those 😉

[brazen thunder]

yay it works, thanks

[brittle meteor]

what should I do now that I got bronze armor

im slow as shit but if its better its better ig

[willow raft]

Try for a troll armor set ^^.
Get a weapon that you like.
Else it is finding elder and building a small base closeby so you can kill it and then on to the next biome.

[brittle meteor]

hmmm but should I get a bronze axe or bronze sword

[last osprey]

You should definitely get a bronze axe so you can chop down birch trees for finewood. The sword is good too but if you don't already have the mace that one is preferable for the next biome.

[brittle meteor]

yeah I like the idea of it being a multitool

[willow raft]

Axe certainly for trees and you could do a sword for fun.

[brittle meteor]

is axe as a weapon bad or?

[willow raft]

Every weapon is a good weapon, you just need to learn how to use it.
Axe is a bit slower than sword but it will do its job.
Use the weapon you want and maybe test a few others out along the way or make a few cheaper ones and test those out for how it "feels".

[fathom badge]

The caveat is that not every weapon is good for any situation. You can't just pick a single weapon type and roll with it through the whole game effectively. Axes aren't quite as good at combat as other weapons, but they allow you to cut trees and such, and are useful if you're trying to limit how many inventory slots you're using since they can serve multiple purposes.

[brittle meteor]

alright ill just get both thanks guys

[willow raft]

A mace is good for swamp for example.

[brittle meteor]

how come?

[fathom badge]

Most swamp creatures are weak to blunt damage, or take neutral damage at least. Specifically the boss is where it's most useful.

[brittle meteor]

omg I need to make a bronze shield too

this is going to take forever

[fathom badge]

That's one reason that I always make just Troll armor, and with bronze I focus on the cultivator, atgeir, mace and buckler. And nails, of course.

[brittle meteor]

trolls scare the hell out of me

[willow raft]

Same here except for the atgeir, depending on what weapon I feel like at the moment.

[fathom badge]

I mostly speedrun the atgeir because it turns the tables on the trolls, they need to start running from me instead 😛 Plus the skill build with it is super useful for when I get to lox hunting stage as well.

[late hawk]

yeah they just appear out of thin air

[brittle meteor]

bro I just found a burial chamber, looted it out and when I step out theres a troll swinging right on top of me

[fathom badge]

He was probably there when you went in, you just didn't see him...

[stoic trench]

They’re pretty sneaky

[brittle meteor]

no sound whatsoever

[proven salmon]

I've just started exploring the Mistlands and have gone in with Frostner - it's feeling pretty decent and the slow's been helping me deal with seekers. Is Mistwalker my next logical upgrade if I want to stick with the 1h/shield combo or does Frostner continue to hold up?

[fleet wing]

Mistwalker is stronger at rk3

Plus a little more reach

[last osprey]

Mistwalker blows Frostner out of the water.

Also it's not exactly expensive so it's well worth upgrading ASAP.

[proven salmon]

Nice good to hear on both accounts. I haven't gotten any black cores/extractors yet so it's still a dream but I think I'll end up making it. I've heard that it's good to focus on the feather cape first when I start to get refined eitr - any advice with where I should put my eitr first?

[loud linden]

I do love my Mistweaver.

[fathom badge]

The Mistwalker just doesn't do knockback, so you've got to manage the enemies a bit differently and can't give yourself room as easily.

[loud linden]

I actually like that. It makes a parry-to-attack worth the combo.

[fathom badge]

For single enemies it's great. It's just easier to get surrounded as well.

I just tend to use fireballs and ice Uzis any more 😛

[loud linden]

I get that. My instinct is to avoid being surrounded, so I move a lot in combat to (edit: ...try and...) keep my enemies in front of me; Mistweaver & shield works for me 🙂

[last osprey]

definitely the feather cape first, the slowfall effect is invaluable in the Mistlands (and when building).
Then the shield or buckler depending on your preference, then MIstwalker would be my order of upgrades.

Carapace armor isn't really worth it over maxed Padded until you have more refined eitr to spare.

[proven salmon]

Nice, thank you I totally spaced off on the shield it's what I've been making first typically when I enter new biomes

[last osprey]

You should also get the cores first because several of the black forge weapons don't need eitr, most notably the arbalest. That one's a must-carry for Gjall imo, at least until you get the frost staff.

[loud linden]

I also love the arbalest. It takes some getting used to, because I need to avoid sprinting long enough to allow the reload, but it's also the closest I'll get to being a sniper in Valheim.

You can three-shot a Gjall with the arbalest, if the first shot is a surprise. The problem in the Mistlands is that you have to choose between reloading the arbalest and traversing truly ridiculous terrain with your stamina.

[lilac perch]

can you add multiple sap colecters on 1 tree in mistland

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[loud linden]

'Yes' is oversimplistic. Adding more sap collectors means the sap production is shared between the collectors.

[lilac perch]

Thanks both

btw any tips finding the infested mines i only found 1 although it searched a large area with wisplight

[loud linden]

Portals. Work from a base close to, or in, the Mistlands and explore with the option to build a portal at will. You can either use the Eikthyr buff to explore extensively, or use your portal to make sure you're not horribly inconvenienced if you die in a mine.

[lilac perch]

is it smarter to have eikthyr than bonemass in the mistlands but mostly staminia is my biggest bottleneck

[loud linden]

Depends on your playstyle, but I play stamina heavy, so I'll use Eikthyr in Mistlands.

If you're avoiding damage in Mistlands, I'd suggest doing it with a preference to avoiding peirceing damage (and fire if you can).

[lilac perch]

stamina heavy as in less stamina more health?

[loud linden]

No, the opposite.

[lilac perch]

I useally brin like 2 80+ health foods and 1 stamina 80+ food

[lilac perch]

ah okey

[loud linden]

I run two stam foods and one health, but it's because I like to move often and fast. You do you; nothing wrong with more health foods and a tanky focus to combat.

[fathom badge]

The infested mines can be either the long staircases under an angled rock ledge, or it can be in the basement of an abandoned dvergr structure. The biggest tell is they both have 4-5 or so Seekers outside guarding it.

[frail cave]

So i have a lox stuck in a hole and im feeding him. He has hearts showing but it doesn't show his tame percentage

Is it being tamed?

[buoyant peak]

Hearts = Taming in progress

[frail cave]

Ok because i was confused

[stoic trench]

You have to get pretty close to see the actual percentage, which usually halts the process because you irritate the animal.

[trail lichen]

does cultivator put yellow grass in the plains yet or is it all green still

[fathom badge]

It changes it to biome-appropriate groundcover

[trail lichen]

Do you have any mods installed? What is in the %APPDATA%/LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim/Player.log after a crash?

[wooden siren]

Your system is too weak for this game

[mystic solar]

You've got an exception code 0xc0000005, that could be due to a problem with your pc, like a faulty drive. Google it and you'll find plenty of suggestions how to try and fix it.

[rough sand]

Hello, I have a little problem. How can I get magmafish? I opened a new world and sailed south specifically to catch fish. But I didn't find any fish. I didn't want to explore my map, so I opened a new world. All I need is a magmafish to make a Fishing Hat. How can I do it if I can't find the fish anywhere? Help

I caught all the fish except and I don't know what to do next 😦

[meager violet]

Magmafish are in the Ashlands

[rough sand]

I checked on both worlds. I swam and walked. Nothing, not a single fish. I don't understand, but there are normally fish in the Far North

I searched for several hours and nothing

[lilac coyote]

Ashlands are in the South.

[rough sand]

I'm not a novice in Valheim. I know the game, but Magmafish is nowhere to be found. I have over 1300 hours and I just wanted to hunt all the fish.

I know where the Ashlands are. I just don't understand why there are fish in the far north and not in Ashland

[lilac coyote]

There ARE fish in Ashlands, magmafish.

[rough sand]

I know they exist because I've seen videos of people fishing, but in my two worlds there are no fish in the Ashlands

[lilac coyote]

Do you have the right bait?

[rough sand]

yes, I have a hot bait made, but what good is it if I can't find any fish

[lilac coyote]

Keep looking and make sure you're fully in Ashlands and not Ocean.

[rough sand]

Thanks, but I've already checked all this and nothing

[lilac coyote]

Well unless you have mods that are somehow affecting spawns, I don't know what more to suggest.

[rough sand]

I don't play with mods, I've never played, and I don't understand why this is happening

[next zephyr]

From this page:
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming?so=search#Breeding

What does birth offset means? Do chicken need players nearby to lay eggs/hatch?

[lilac coyote]

How far the offspring spawn from the parent when born.

[clear marlin]

everything depends on the length of the birth canal, the applied labor forces, and the trajectory of the fetus’s exit, that is, without accompanying measurements it will be impossible to make a statistical calculation with an acceptable error 😸

[lilac coyote]

You just get weirder and weirder.

[clear marlin]

🙀

[rough sand]

It worked, I had the Hard level turned on, which told me that I had custom modifiers, I returned to the factory settings, I sailed to the new Ashlands and the fish appeared 🙂 you can go create a fishing hat. Regards.

[willow raft]

Let's not forget about species, a conehead flies much further as a regular human.

[clear marlin]

due to the relatively small forces applied, aerodynamics will not even affect the statistical error 😼

[fathom badge]

No actual mods though? Just no fish appearing when in hard mode?

[willow raft]

You've never seen coneheads the movie I presume.

[clear marlin]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202174832729661470 😼

[hollow vessel]

So this reminds me. When a new baby pig spawns near its parent, is it possible for the baby to spawn on the outside of the barn wall the parent is inside of?

[tidal crag]

I also think about baby pigs when I read stuff about cone head

[fleet wing]

Thanks, I'll check into that, its a brand new system 😦

[fleet wing]

I'll try to improve it 🤣

[lilac coyote]

Yep.

[sharp topaz]

is there anyway to have more than 8 people on the server?

[fathom badge]

Yes. You can have 10 people by default with no mods.

[sharp topaz]

thanks a lot for responding!

what about more than 10?

[fathom badge]

Nope. The limit is 10 simultaneous players with the base game. You can have more than 10 that connect over time, you can have an unlimited amount, but 10 is the max you can do at one time.

[sharp topaz]

I see... thank you so much!

[fathom badge]

So apparently a ton of people on the Valheim subreddit didn't know this; if you dodge-roll (block and hit jump) while pulling a cart you will instantly disconnect from it. If you don't use a cart because it's chaotic when you get attacked pulling it, that may help. In case it helps anyone here, too 😉

[lilac coyote]

You braved the sub-reddit? I can't do that.

[undone granite]

Hi, do Abominations respawn? and if they do, do they respawn in the same places you found them the 1st time you killed them?

[true steeple]

They respawn in random places like most enemies

[undone granite]

the valheim wiki for abominations mentioned an Activation range and detection range, you have to activate the abominations?

[oblique hawk]

They "sleep" until you get close enough.

[undone granite]

what if you decide not to kill it, and teleport away, will it stay activated?

[oblique hawk]

Yes.

[undone granite]

thank you so much , i havent played for almost 2 years and got hooked again

[strong surge]

howdy! quick question if anyone knows, what's there furthest you can build out horizontally with no support, mid air? would it be stone platforms? I think wood only reaches like 4 tiles

[tough hare]

If you want to be sure whether or not they're there; you can "activate" them when shooting an arrow at a tree stump in the swamps.

They also have two features that makes it easier to recognize them.
One is a green pattern on them, the other one that they got something dripping from the "stump" while they 'hybernate'.

[tough hare]

Wood iron beams will go at least 14-16 meters horizontal without having support.
Stone floors will collapse earlier than that.

[strong surge]

that's exactly what I needed to know thank you

I'm trying to make a bridge as close to the world edge as possible

not making a cult or anything, with sacrifices, and false gods

[tough hare]

This might help you as well:

[barren axle]

anyone have a guide on raising ground and leveling it?

It is very much a pain in the arse to tile the floor with stone tiles, raise the ground, to realise that it is too low and you are blocked by the tile

and then screw around with raise ground and level and never getting it right

[nimble parcel]

it levels to where you're standing. raise and lower enough and you can get it smooth, I leave it kinda smooth, no need for perfection

[barren axle]

all it need to be is high enough that walking from grass to slab is uninpeeded, and low enough that it does not show though the slab

[nimble parcel]

leveling while standing on the slab should suffice, but if not , you could try a stair there, even if mostly underground

[barren axle]

that is a pretty tragic way of fixing it but I think that is what I will do

[true steeple]

Standing on the slab will level the terrain to whatever height the terrain inside/below the slab is

[barren axle]

ok, I'll level up a piece of ground to the correct level, and then level up the remaining ground!

[nimble parcel]

leveling is more trouble than it should be

[barren axle]

getting nice slopes is a nightmare :/

[nimble parcel]

for wood doors I've used a log / flat pice in front of the door as a little stair

[subtle parrot]

Start at the top and hit flatten every 2-5 meters depending on how much grade you want, play around with it on some random natural slopes

[barren axle]

When do I use shift flatten?

[subtle parrot]

I play on xbox game pass, so i can't really answer that

But iirc what that does, you'll likely want to use that on humps in your slope to 'level' the hump or dip out. But again, I can't use that feature on xbox so i don't really know

[fathom badge]

Shift tries to flatten to the level your character's feet are at, normally the hoe flattens to the point you're targeting strike that, reverse it. Use whichever mode you need to to get the effect you want.

[old bronze]

Isn't it the other way around?

[oblique hawk]

Shift flattens to where you point.

[old bronze]

Yeah

[oblique hawk]

no shift flattens to where you are standing.

[old bronze]

It does...? I'm confused

[oblique hawk]

"no shift" flattens to where you are standing,

[old bronze]

Oh yeah, yeah

[oblique hawk]

not "no, shift flattens". :p

[fathom badge]

Is it? I could have sworn it was the way I described... I generally just go by the way the circles behave 😛

[lilac coyote]

I'm glad that's cleared up.

[fathom badge]

"Work on contingency? No, money down!"

[oblique hawk]

I'm absolutely positive that the default is that it tries to flatten to where you stand, unless you hold shift - in which case it will try to flatten to where you point.

(and the hill-climbing road I built recently should indicate that I at least recently knew how the hoe worked. :p)

[barren axle]

Wait I am confused 🤔

So it's based on ground level at your feet normally, and it is based on ground at that location for shift?

[fathom badge]

Yes. By default the hoe tries to raise or lower ground to the level your character's feet are at. When you hold shift, it tries to flatten the area in the circle radius to the same level as the very center of where you're aiming it. It can only do so much though, at times you may need to use a pick or use the "raise ground" function in order to make further terrain changes.

[oblique hawk]

If you want to make a slope just spam shift-click while slowly moving the mouse after you've made a fairly even slope with normal hoeing and pickaxing.

[coral prairie]

*best results after hoeing as low as possible and making very very even slope with pickaxe

And for even stone pavement, be ready with lots of dirt hoeing experience and 5 times more stone than you should need

[hoary minnow]

My friends, I have a terrible news, I send you this message with almost tears in my eyes... Our base has disintegrated on its own... We were quietly playing with my friends when all of a sudden the floor of our terrace began to disintegrate. Some time later, we decided that it might be due to a structural error, and that we needed to consolidate with pillars. So we put up a sturdy 4-metre wooden pillar. Everything was green and even the blue structures were starting to fall apart. We're completely helpless and don't know what to do - our base is literally in ruins.

How could this curse happen to us... Our base was so beautiful... 😔

[radiant furnace]

did u use corewood post or iron wood post??

u get corewood from black forest

[hoary minnow]

This problem has arisen very recently. And we haven't changed anything special in the meantime. Our base had never been destroyed

So it's curious

[radiant furnace]

@hoary minnow

[hoary minnow]

The whole base could have disintegrated for a simple modification to a small area in the ground?

[radiant furnace]

vous pouvez charger une sauvegarde antérieure et récupérer votre base

[hoary minnow]

Too bad I can't see the problem now, I would have shown you live, it would have been much clearer.

[radiant furnace]

ui

[hoary minnow]

Yes, but that would mean re-farming copper and tin.

so i don't know

I think I'll leave for now and go to sleep and if the problem ever comes back, I'll film it to show you.

ah yes you mean the stuff on us won't disappear?

okay, how ?

[buoyant peak]

[keen vine]

I think there's something wrong with my boars. They won't fuck.

I tried pushing them together, but nothing happens

their pen is huge. They have plenty of population space, and there's only 2 of them.

[coral prairie]

Well fed? No graydwarves wandering through?

[keen vine]

I keep throwing food in there. it sits so long that it despawns. no greydwarf freeloaders

they eat yellow mushrooms right?

[coral prairie]

Just raspberries early on

[keen vine]

oh. that is probably what's wrong

[coral prairie]

Yeah nothing will eat mushrooms I don’t think… oddly enough

[keen vine]

and yet we can eat them. weird

most useless food stuff in the game.. damn

[lilac coyote]

They'll eat red mushrooms, just not yellow ones.

[keen vine]

yeah but red mushrooms are actually useful in cooking lol

[coral prairie]

The swamp gives one more feed option, but yeah it’s limited

Oh cool, didn’t know they eat those too

[lilac coyote]

Boar eat Blueberries, Carrots, Onions, Raspberries, Red Mushrooms and Turnips

[keen vine]

I'm just sitting in my base right now waiting for some poison resist mead to ferment

I got all the way up to the bonemass without making any

[coral prairie]

Well I was avoiding mentioning stuff after BF just in case…

[keen vine]

but now that I started fighting it... well I just can't do it. there's so much fart cloud

[lilac coyote]

Carrots and blueberries are not after Black Forest though.

[coral prairie]

I… didn’t say they were… but I avoided mentioning the stuff that is…

Yeah just chug poison resist and health, and you can run up and beat his old bony ass then dodge his swipes

[keen vine]

better to dodge or parry?

[lilac coyote]

You said only red mushrooms so I didn't realise you were trying to avoid 'spoilers', my bad.

[coral prairie]

Pretty sure you can’t parry bosses, but yeah dodge (roll)

[keen vine]

you can definitely parry eikthyr

[buoyant peak]

Dodge bosses, parry everything else

[coral prairie]

Rolling is just so easy after some practice, it’s always worth using in boss fights so you can get right up there with rapidfire high-damage hits

[keen vine]

anyone know how long fermentation takes?

tried googling it and didn't get an answer

[lilac coyote]

2 in-game days: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Fermenter

[keen vine]

okay so you can parry the bonemass pretty handily with an iron buckler. I did it by accident lol

[keen vine]

I can't dodge him 😦

I keep eating it

[fathom badge]

He's got a pattern to his attacks if you pay attention

[keen vine]

alright I'm getting better at it

[modest shadow]

when wearing clothing that reduces stamina, which actions are affected?

[visual radish]

If you mean the clothing from hildir, those items mention what they affect (building with the wooden hammer).

[fathom badge]

Hildir's clothes reduce stamina use for "base actions", which are interpreted as using the hammer, cultivator or hoe.

[wise rapids]

guys, to sleep I need a nearby fire, so how do you think I should put it? do I make a chimney, or just place it outside near the bed?

[trail lichen]

i put mine inside but use like, a roof but going the other way as the chimney* if the cieling is high enough though it won't matter

[coral prairie]

It only requires proximity to the bed to let you sleep, so outside is fine as long as it’s covered to keep rain from putting it out temporarily

[loud rapids]

Whats a good way to take down abominations solo
without cheesing with arrows on a ship out at sea a bit

[coral prairie]

Axe and dodge

Also a bit of fire if it’s handy

[trail lichen]

bronze buckler and enough health and stamina to parry well can really help too, i made very light work of them using axe/buckler after deciding that fire arrows took too long for me

[loud rapids]

Should I grind for an iron axe or will a bronze axe work fine for this

I guess that just depends on how good I am at parrying

[trail lichen]

bronze should be fine, i used bronze iirc, really you don't need an iron axe at all because they're just slightly higher damage than bronze, they don't give you any better woodcutting ability

[night radish]

I like fire arrows for aboms

You can also kite them through a surtling fire spout

That’s the real pro gamer way 😅

[trail lichen]

oooooo
might try that next time i fight one, forgot they existed

[coral prairie]

The next woodcutting axe doesn’t come for another few biomes so it’s not a bad investment to craft/upgrade the iron axe right away. Chopping trees does take up a lot of time in the game, and abominations will always be an annoyance even after you don’t want their drops anymore.

The geysers are more of a luck thing since they’re not in every swamp or nearby whenever you need them. Fire arrows have to keep being crafted and take up inventory space so it’s nice to move on from them when you can.

[loud rapids]

wow you're right

that was WAY easier than I expected

I think I made them scarier than they are because my brother and I got ambushed by one a while ago before realizing they even existed and it destroyed our boat and killed us

[wise rapids]

gonna be honest, any tips for the first boss? I have a severe skill issue and have barely chipped at the bar with the club and a bunch of food

is there another weapon I should be using? I heard it's recommended to use a shield but I can't even get my leather scraps on my body back to the workbench without leading him to my base

[coral prairie]

Oh no, it sounds like you summoned the boss too soon and set up camp too close 😧

[wise rapids]

well the camp is far enough, I did summon them too soon though lol

[coral prairie]

I suppose if you lead it away then circle back you could be fine… but if it’s in that general area it’s still a risk

[wise rapids]

yeah I managed to lose it

[coral prairie]

Maybe set up some full stake walls just in case

[wise rapids]

what weapon should I use? I have enough flint for a knife but not spear

[coral prairie]

Having a bow will really help if you aren’t buffed up enough to get close

[wise rapids]

good point, been on the search for boars too lol

[coral prairie]

The spear takes some skill that I haven’t tried to hone yet either, even after several full playthroughs

Yeah you’ll want to settle your base for a while and do some more long-term prep

[wise rapids]

what melee weapon is good though, right now I'm using the club

[coral prairie]

Anyway it sounds like a prep issue, not skill. Don’t worry, it’ll all make sense once you get some more stuff going.

The club is good, but you’ll want to practice dodging too since you have to get up close to use it

[wise rapids]

the issue I always have with dodging it that I'll be in an attack animation when I need to use it

[coral prairie]

Hold down secondary attack (block) and hit jump to roll

Yeah timing takes some practice

You’ll also have to watch the cycles of the enemy’s attacks

What kinds of foods are you eating?

[wise rapids]

meat mainly

boar and deer

[coral prairie]

As long as you have enough stamina to keep attacking, just shooting it with a bow should be enough to win pretty easily

[patent gyro]

Use campfires

[coral prairie]

Not for a first playthrough…….

[wise rapids]

I'm guessing they give a buff

[coral prairie]

At base, yeah

I think they meant it as kind of a joke, since it is a cheesing method

[wise rapids]

ah

[coral prairie]

But yeah, staying warm and rested are crucial

[wise rapids]

also is it just me or is the axe doing more damage than the club

[coral prairie]

It could be if you’ve used the axe a lot more

[wise rapids]

yeah

[coral prairie]

There is a list of skills you can check

[wise rapids]

I know

[coral prairie]

If you’ve found or crafted a lot of fire arrows, that can speed up the fight too

Eikthyr is kind of tutorial-level difficulty, but can be an obstacle before getting familiar with the flow of the game. Just use this fight to learn all you can about the prep methods, and you’ll be good to go for finding the best approaches to all future fights too.

[pearl dragon]

are there any risks regarding the usage of devcommands? want to use creative mode but i dont want to get banned😅

[mystic solar]

Noone can ban you in your solo world, do what you want in there.
If you are playing on a dedicated server, you need to be an admin and I think to use a mod to have dev commands.

[pearl dragon]

good to know, thanks for the feedback!

[carmine talon]

Hello, I found one of those body piles in a draugr village. I am trying to turn it into a blood magic farm. But I am having trouble with draugs sometimes spawning outside the spawn zone or in the floor/walls

has anyone else experienced this?

[willow raft]

The spawn zone is a certain distance and most of the time they spawn near the middle but they can spawn on the outskirts of said spawn zone, if that happens they can clip into walls and get out of the entrapment, if you have made the "cage" too small or just on the edge of the spawn zone.
Best thing to do is make a cage with earthen walls around the spawn zone and go from there, I mostly leave a section low so I can try and get archers there so they can shoot the whole cage no matter where the draugr spawn.
So maybe throw down some pants just around the spawn zone so if they do get out they get killed.

[still walrus]

Does anyone have some stuttering in certain areas of the game? like i walk around in circles in a specific place and my frametime in msi afterburner pikes

i searched every single solution and nothing changes, so imma think is just the game optimization

[willow raft]

Yes, close to my base when it is loading in it can stutter, once it has loaded it is smooth though.

[still walrus]

Me to, when i enter the game my FPS drops, then they calm down but in certain places of the house i get microstuttering

like i said i think is just the game optimization cuz early acces.

[willow raft]

Means you have a whole lot of instances in that place and that causes it.
They might look into it the closer we get to 1.0.

[still walrus]

yeah is probably that. Theres a rock in the mountain, when i walk around it in circles i get stutters and lag every loop i do lmao

Wishing that the ashlands wont have more problems like this

[pallid lodge]

Would it be better I wait until Ashland's? Should I start a new world then?

[willow raft]

Do as you please, as long as you don't explore ashlands it should all work and you can get ready to venture into ashlands with all the mistland gear you might already have.

[pallid lodge]

Ah noted then, na I was wondering cuz my current only main world I've Solo, I'm barley getting copper 🤣

[still walrus]

My plans is to stick with the world i have till the 1.0 release. After that i will create a new world and play with all the obtained knowledge trought the EarlyAcces

[pallid lodge]

Fair point lol

[willow raft]

I'm gonna do a fresh start with ashlands.

[compact heath]

good idea to take it slow, will take a while to be ready for landing there

[halcyon crag]

spawning in some permanent items can cause issues, things that are in the code but not implemented like the humungous blue mushrooms/corgi statues can be a pain to get rid of, for example, but using it for regular activities is perfectly safe, along with flying and using the freefly camera

[serene tangle]

There's forcedelete command though, since commands are used anyway.

[pearl dragon]

very useful feedback!

[hollow vessel]

Corgi statues......?

[true steeple]

Unfortunately unused objects

[hollow vessel]

That's amazing. I almost want to risk the hit to performance and make one😂

[frail cave]

they have no unusual performance impact. the only issue is that they're unbreakable, so forcedelete is the only way to remove them

and since they can only be spawned in with spawn, you have no control over their rotation (they always face the same way) and inconvenient control over their position

[halcyon crag]

couldn't think of any world breakers off the top, not that i'd want to advertise any anyway xD

[frail cave]

i remember there being some unused ice pillar that would brick worlds, but that may have been fixed. (or i just can't find the ID anymore.)

[subtle parrot]

I think some of them on the wiki spawn list have notes if they act wonky

[carmine talon]

Yea I made a cage using earth walls. But I suspect maybe it's just a smidge too small as you say. I will try to make it bigger/lower it. Also what do you mean by "throw down some pants"? Im guessing that's a typo but I can't figure it out xD

[willow raft]

Check your name.

[loud spade]

Once I update valheim, can I still access the ptb during offline mode and with cloud save turned off?

[real nebula]

Yeah, of course

The game doesn't have any always-online requirement

Excluding cloud saves and multiplayer

[carmine talon]

Bruh I feel so dumb 😂😂 thank you for the tips! Lmao

[spare drift]

i want to hide this cursor can i

[rough garnet]

Is there away to take off water damage

[vestal hatch]

Does the 'draw distance' graphic slider affect spawn range?

[spare drift]

@frosty frost these?

[frosty frost]

as thorin said in #valheim-chat they should be listed under: Tomb / Crypt / Inf. Mines , also i am not sure if this is it as i dont use the world gen often, i would look for something that says mine, infested, or something like that 😄

[spare drift]

honestly tbh we just explored until we found one haha

theyre not that rare

world gen is good for when you need soft skin tho

[frosty frost]

probably best way to do it 😄 i look at the world generator as kind of a cheating tool

soft skin?

[spare drift]

sorry, tissue

[frosty frost]

oooh ok

yeah those can be sometimes a bit harder to find but you will stumble upon the skull eventualy when exploring 😄

[spare drift]

do you think i can kill the mistlands boss with this gear? i think we are still too weak

[rough garnet]

Anyone know if you can turn water damage off

[frosty frost]

i think you should be good, maybe change the arbalest for bow tho, arbalest is good for stealthy sniping but there is not much of it in the boss fight i feel

[true steeple]

Drowning or the damage to builds? (For both, no, you can’t)

[spare drift]

yea i think so too, i just like it for the brains as i call them

[frosty frost]

none of them in the boss room so you dont need it 😄

[fathom badge]

Gear is probably fine, but you've got a weird build... you don't really want to run much magic with armor like that, the eitr weave is super powerful, even just the chest and legs. Make sure you use the right foods too. As for a "we", having one person running melee and one or more running magic can help control the battlefield

[ember sluice]

is that your inventory setup normally or is stuff thrown in just for the pic?

[true steeple]

You’ll be fine for the boss, but you shouldn’t be walking around mistlands with an empty stomach.
Or any mid-end game biome

[spare drift]

yeah i know

[tawny hemlock]

can a cart fit into a Karve? 🤔
it can, sorta 🫠

[rancid tinsel]

From what I understand, the Ashlands update will lower all terrain around the ashlands - Including previously loaded terrain, so all buildings will collapse? my main base is on a mountain bordering the ashlands... any way to save it?

[lilac coyote]

Ashlands will be COMPLETELY separated from any other biome.

[thorn spire]

If you know you’re bordering Ashlands then likely that biome won’t update properly.

[trail lichen]

cage wall 1x1 is not degrading in rain, cage wall 2x2 is. is this meant to be a thing?

[wise rapids]

I left the game last night and came back, and now all my stuff that I had on my player is gone

any idea where it went or if I can get it back?

[hoary minnow]

pls just look... why the ground destroy like this... ? for absolutely no reason ???

[trim shore]

Absolutely not

[hoary minnow]

check at 0:48 for seeing the problem

[rough plume]

one of your friends might be trolling with you. i use a build camera mod to troll my friends like this. 😂

[hoary minnow]

It's absolutely impossible, unless we've been hacked... This problem has been going on for over 3 days... If it was one of my buddies, he would have stopped the joke by now...

[compact heath]

This build will most likely collapse

[hoary minnow]

it goes on...

[trail lichen]

this seems like some weird kinda desync error to me, can happen with servers/multiplayer
also, did anyone else hear 0:20? my french ain't great but i don't think that's french

[hoary minnow]

i'm french yes

Yes, I'm here with my friends

And I don't know if it matters, but the saves are local

[trail lichen]

any mods?

[hoary minnow]

nah

[trail lichen]

best advice i can give: try playing the world in single player to see if the problem is still there

[hoary minnow]

ok I'll try

[trail lichen]

second best advice I can give: be careful what you say when you're being recorded, even by yourself

[hoary minnow]

what did i say ?

[trail lichen]

0:20 on the video lol

[hoary minnow]

oh sorry !!

[trail lichen]

all good just be careful, that might upset some people

[hoary minnow]

you're god damn right sorry

[hoary minnow]

I've just tried a single player...

I think that's where the problem lies... it seems to work solo...

[trail lichen]

yeah looks like some kind of desync issues between you and your buddies then. there can be many causes for it but the easiest option is to just restart the server every time it gets really bad

there are people here who might know better, I'm all out of ideas on this one though

[hoary minnow]

Do you think it's a numbers problem? There are quite a few people who have passed through the server...

I've just relaunched the server, this time in multiplayer. We had set a 5-minute delay between each of my friends' connections. To see if the problem is with one of us in particular. It turns out that for the two friends I'm currently with, the bug doesn't appear. I wonder if the problem isn't with our last friend, who's currently away! We'll test tomorrow with him to see if the problem really is on his part.

[keen vine]

how does sapling growth work? do they grow only when rendered, not rendered, other caveats?

[trail lichen]

desync errors are mostly, for the common observer, random. it's less a case of who is joined up and usually the total number or just a random error somewhere that causes them, and the easiest fix is just turn the server off and on again by restarting the host game

[trail lichen]

afaik they grow all the time, as long as they have enough space (mouseover will tell you)
they just take a little while
i've left my base and come back to a full grown grove before, and had them pop up into full growth in front of my eyes i'm pretty sure

[hoary minnow]

You're a hero thanks for ur help

I don't think restarting the server really works... That was one of the first reflexes we had when the problem arrived, once we got back the problem was already persisting... I really have the impression that it's due to a particular player in our survival...

[loud rapids]

Do better pickaxes mine terrain better?

[stoic trench]

Nope!

[last osprey]

Nope. They're actually worse for terrain manipulation since they cost more stamina to use. Though you'll probably want an upgraded bronze just for the durability.

[loud rapids]

I see. So the antler pickaxe is a legitimately useful tool to bring since its super easy to repair?

Very little effort needed in a camp that can repair it compared to any metal pickaxe

[last osprey]

The low durability is kind of annoying but if you don't mind that yes.

it costs only 6 sta to swing compared to 8 for bronze and 10 for iron and blackmetal.

As soon as you want to mine anything not earth it's terrible though.

[tawny hemlock]

w/o giving away too much, do i need to use the wishbone to find the 5th boss or what? been runnin around its biome, took out a couple goblin camps, raided a sealed tower, but no dice on its locator 😵‍💫

[frosty frost]

nope, you have a chance to find a vegvisir in structures in plains but quite often you find the altar first, it very distinct 😄

[tawny hemlock]

ok thank god. id rather be running around with the belt coz of the pesky blackmetals 🫠

[frail cave]

I recently set up a dedicated server and was woundering how would i update it when the new content comes out

[true steeple]

Running it directly through steam checks for updates so do that whenever a patch comes out

[subtle parrot]

Try flattening the ground more. Or put some 1m vertical wooden beams under your floor and walls so they're connected to the ground instead of floating. If it's not your friend, it's likely the terrain.

[icy bough]

should i move out of the spawn area

or just set up fob

[hoary minnow]

Bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I can assure you it's not him, even at times when he's not there it was breaking, it's absolutely not trolling on his part

[hoary minnow]

After this terrible bug, I'll have you know that I watched 1 hour of videos on how to build a perfect base, paying careful attention to the stability logic of the structures. But the bug hasn't stopped

I sincerely believe it's due to one of the players bugging the server, we'll retest today.

BRO

Wtf, what a asshole

But now I'm wondering if he's the one behind all the other broken structures

Because sometimes he wasn't even there when it broke

So I'm sticking with my theory that there's a bug, but that indeed ENFINFRR the smart guy has taken advantage of this bug to add to it....

Didn't understand sorry

Do you think ENFINFRR could have started this chain reaction?

I never see bats in valheim

Wow we're not here already !

We are in a black forest

Yes but that's weird... I don't know my friend is a psychopath

Oooh, you mean the totem pole that means others can't touch what you've built?

Bro if it's really him I will kill him

This is betrayal of the highest order. You can't imagine how psychologically crushed we were when our beautiful base became more than a field of ruins.

What happened in Sweden ?

I see

We're all upset with him, and the punishment is going to be severe.

[fathom badge]

So, just to clear the air, the latest update did improve/change the stability calculation to make it less error prone, but that means that if you had a previous structure that was stable but shouldn't have actually been it may start breaking like y'all are describing.

[harsh basalt]

Please tell us how to place Mills correctly to get as much efficiency as possible from them?

[fathom badge]

Windmills? Just place them away from structures and trees. The Plains tends to have more consistent winds IIRC.

[harsh basalt]

Thanks, but if I create an artificial hill and place them next to each other, will they lose effectiveness?

[halcyon crag]

in my experience they can be close to one another, but not blocking the sails, if there's an obstruction to the sails it will slow it down

[loud skiff]

Am I taking crazy pills, or did they slightly tweak the controller setup? I just updated the game and now I can't zoom my camera out using LT+D-pad down, instead it changes the minimap?!?

(I REALLY hate the half-assed controller configs this game provides - just let us map the buttons directly!!)

[subtle parrot]

Not going crazy, they did change them a bit and how the character attacks. But as for the zooming in and out, it's up on d pad for both in/ out from character and down for both in the minimap. If it starts the opposite way you want to zoom, then let go of the buttons and hit them again.

[true steeple]

Now that I’m used to the attack direction changes, they’re definitely better than they were before. Now I can sprint-jump over an enemy and hit them with a backwards jumping attack.

[subtle parrot]

I still can't get that, my coordination isn't very good as is lol haven't played all week cause i keep dying after attacking the wrong way

[hoary minnow]

BRO

IT WAS HIM...

[true steeple]

Do you know why he was doing it?

[loud skiff]

I hate it so much that I reverted the game to previous_stable. I really hope they reconsider this change, or add more options, or I'm stuck at this version.

[subtle parrot]

I sent them a support email personally asking to give the option to switch the character attack functionality. If you go to their site down at the bottom you can click support and send them an email. They do read them.

[loud rapids]

Are you supposed to not be able to walk up stairs when carrying too much

[buoyant peak]

You should be able to climb up stairs.

You shouldn't for ladders (afaik)

[loud rapids]

Hm, on my stone stairs I get stuck at the end of the first stair segment

[buoyant peak]

Then that must be bc the terrain is slightly lower than where the stairs start

Emphasis on "slightly"

[loud rapids]

I mean at the top of the first stair segment

[tough hare]

Then it could be the stairs are slightly lower as the first floor or wall piece you build next to it.
Often happens when you're using the [shift]+placement option instead of the auto-snapping.

[buoyant peak]

In that case I'm not sure, I think they have the same inclination as wooden stairs so they should allow you to climb them up

[loud rapids]

I can get onto the first stair fine but I can't get onto the first flat spot

[buoyant peak]

Maybe there's a very small piece of terrain sticking out?

[loud rapids]

it looks flat as can be to me

[buoyant peak]

100% that flat spot. Notice how is slightly above the stairs

[loud rapids]

it is?

[buoyant peak]

I think so, I see a very, very small offset

If not that then I'd run out of ideas

[loud rapids]

Well I broke them and replaced them and now I can walk up it

I can't still see a difference myself in the height but oh well

[buoyant peak]

Post another pic, better if it's from a similar angle

Maybe you placed it in another snap point from where you can actually climb up

[iron kestrel]

Question:

If individual progress for raids/events is turned on for a server, does this mean players can fight bosses and progress at their own pace as long as they do not return or live near newer players who progress slower?

So like... if Player A has not killed Eikthyr and lives in a newbie community base & Player B wants to kill Elder and Bonemass. Is it okay for Player B to kill Elder and Bonemass as long as he creates a new base really far away from the newbie base?
(because if Player B lives at the newbie base he could trigger a raid with harder enemies and that'd be bad. So if Player B moves to a new location, this should be okay right?)

Is this the correct understand of how that setting works? Are there any other issues with individual boss progression if the advanced & new players live separately?

[trail lichen]

It should be okay, yeah. The raids trigger on your character while you're in base (for most of them) so as long as the bases aren't close to each other you should be aight. Just be careful if the more progressed player is visiting the earlier bases as raids can happen at any time, I think.

[iron kestrel]

Alright cool. Thanks! We will just make sure the advanced players do not visit the less-advanced bases.

[buoyant peak]

It just occurred to me, wouldn't that be a way to exploit the system in order to get the raids you want?

A player could enter the game and never kill eikthyr, meaning they can use the player's global key to get the eikthyr raid.

Similarly, another player could do something similar but by killing eikthyr, meaning they'll get greydwarf raids.

You can essentially have multiple types of raids in a single server that are intended to be locked and not available after certain points in the game

And each player could set up bases that are mostly built around having those raids

[iron kestrel]

Hmmm... Im not sure. They didnt have these settings (World Modifiers) the last time I hosted a Valheim server.

I wish I understood the Global Keys & Console Commands & World Modifier settings better so I could lock progression or unlock bosses on a like a server community schedule.

[silver dome]

Is there a way to make people joining your server not be able to take in items from outside worlds? I am local hosting but maybe this is a feature for dedicated servers? Thanks!

[fathom badge]

Unfortunately not. There's no way to tie characters to servers, nor their inventory

[ripe ivy]

There isn't because that would involve auto deleting items on your character upon log out and no one wants that

I think if it like someone is joining from another part of the world and carries life experience and journey items with them. They could cheat but it still takes effort to do so

[fathom badge]

Unless they're just spawning in items and such. But just don't play with people like that, then 😉

[silver dome]

unfortunately friendship is complicated :(

[fathom badge]

Fair. Sounds like it's time for a frank chat with them though, let them know it's not fun to play like that

[iron kestrel]

You can do this with a mod called ServerCharacters by Smoothbrain.

It makes it so players have to create a new character when joining your world, and Im pretty sure they can keep the character to play on other worlds but if not you can just send them the character file for their SteamID.

[silver dome]

is this a mod they have to download as well or just host?

[iron kestrel]

Any mods installed have to be installed by all players. But once you figure it out it's super easy.

You just get r2modman from Thunderstore.io and r2modman is a mod-launcher. You can choose to launch Vanilla or Modded.

And to get the other players to easily install the same mods, you would just export your profile from r2modman to code and share the code with your other players. They can import/update their profile using that code and it automatically installs the same mods.

[silver dome]

thankyou! appreciate the help

[iron kestrel]

Sure thing 🙂 I can walk you through the process if you join a VC and stream your screen, but I'm gonna need like 1-2 hours before I get home.

[autumn wolf]

Just beat the first boss what do I do now

[strong geyser]

should we expect ashlands within 60 - 70 days?

[strong geyser]

Black forest

[iron kestrel]

1. Use the antlers you got from the 1st boss and craft Antler Pickaxe.
2. Then go to Black Forest and look for Copper Veins & Tin. (Copper looks like big boulders with shiny gold veins & Tin is silvery shiney rocks along the water in Black Forest areas)
3. Craft some bronze tools, weapons, and armor then look for the 2nd boss. (upgrade your workbench, craft a forge, and craft a smelter & kiln)

[autumn wolf]

Ok thank you very much

[iron kestrel]

After the 2nd boss you want to craft a Karve (ship) with your hammer and go explore the Swamps

[tough hare]

That means:

Craft a Karve, sail until you see a swamp, then sail along - or back - to a friendly biome and dock there.
Swamp has some creatures that like to attack you from the water and last thing you want is your boat being destroyed.

[iron kestrel]

Ya swamps are deadly. Definitely want to set up a base nearby in an easier biome.

[amber scroll]

Total noobie question: for new players, do people typically (or is it best, initially) go solo and start their own world/server, and play in that independantly. Then maybe move over to multiplayer/online scenario later?

[proud barn]

I played solo first with combat set to easier level. Gained knowledge, learned and then started a new game with portal rules and combat harder. Son did same, he learned more because he played more. Now we have a world we started together. Day 133 and just made to the plains. Game is fun both ways. Since it is scalable difficulty you can play on your own very easily. Wealth of knowledge here also. Great group.

[amber scroll]

Thanks for that Grendel! Very helpful, and glad to hear that you and your son are enjoying playing the game together - playing with him must be cool as a dad! Cheers

[proud barn]

Yeah, I am 55 he is early 30’s. So game on! I grew up gaming, both my sons enjoy it.

[loud rapids]

something destroyed my cart. I got everything back except for the nails, which are gone? they've never disappeared before.

[proud barn]

You can learn a lot in Hammer mode for building techniques. Helpful for learning how to play with angles and snap points. Then you will know how to land in a new biome and quickly set a base, spawn point and defenses

[proud barn]

Yep, had that happen. If left unprotected they will destroy if they happen upon it.

Greylings, skeletons, etc

[loud rapids]

I didn't realize the nails could be destroyed, all other times this has happened the nails were on the ground and I could rebuld it right away

[trail lichen]

If it was destroyed in/near water, the nails sink, they're heavy. also because heavy, they might put you overweight for inventory

[proud barn]

Since update resources have been vanishing quicker

[loud rapids]

I was in plains far away from any water and I watched it get destroyed so I know exactly where everything should have been

[proud barn]

Never had nails disappear before update

[loud rapids]

I started retrieving the stuff about 2 minutes after it was destroyed

[trail lichen]

pretty sure nails can't be destroyed tbh, seems like an unfortunate bug

[vast geyser]

Is it normal for 6-7 Greydwarves, a Shaman and a Brute to spawn without there being a spawner nearby?
