[rare marten]

Ty so much Nevyn 🙂

[fringe sundial]

Np.

[keen glacier]

Ok what's going on with this loading bug? I just talked a friend into buying the game to play through the new Ashlands content with me, though neither of us can even load into a world. The game gets stuck and eventually stops responding.

[fringe sundial]

The update is huge and freaks computers/Xbox out. It takes several minutes for it to fully load while "valheim has stopped responding, would you like to shut down valheim" error message is up. This is a "one and done " issue. Once you get past that, it should allow you to play normally.

[keen glacier]

I see, so be patient?

[fringe sundial]

That's the gist of it. If it exceeds 10 minutes, you might Wana try some additional troubleshooting.

[keen glacier]

ok, thanks!

[silk fable]

Has anyone else experienced the drakkar just disappearing? I just checked the server logs and it's been only me and another person on in the last 12 hours, no error messaging otherwise in the logs but a boat that was docked at our waypoint is just gone. Does it sound familiar to anyone?

By the way, this was not parked in a dangerous area. It was in mist lands rocky area blanketed with work benchs so I have no reason to believe that it was destroyed by enemies

[stuck ginkgo]

Do the mistlands ruined towers actually have entrances or was I mislead? I can't find the entrance at all in them

[compact heath]

some do some don't

the ones with entrances I mark with "Mine" and the other ones with "Fake Mine" on my mapmarkers

[stuck ginkgo]

I assume i'm really unlucky then, 4 towers with no entrance

[compact heath]

I've had one mistlands with 5 fakes and 3 real ones too for instance, and 5 dvergr houses

[fringe sundial]

Did you update to ashlands and the boat disappeared or were you already updated? I have heard of massive overhauls happening for landmass and such. The land changes destroyed many a base. Wouldn't be a stretch for a boat.

[compact heath]

I don't think he or she would have had a Drakkar if game not updated to Ashlands version

[fringe sundial]

I did but that is because I used devcommands prior to joining PTB in preparation. And if you were in PTB, you would have had access prior to Live launch, which messed up a ton of bases.

So, unlikely but not impossible.

[compact heath]

devcommands cannot give you a Drakkar without Ashlands version... its not in the files, doesnt matter if ptb or live ashlands version but it would have to be on Ashlands for that ship post update

[fringe sundial]

Thinking on it, you are correct. I did some base building before joining PTB but only put down boats AFTER joining PTB.

[compact heath]

On the issue of the missing ship, I did also loose a longship or 2 over the years in what I deemed a safe spawnproofed spot, and if its on a server especially there can be a desync bug (at least used to be not sure if still happening) where the ship periodically takes damage, which over time will make it go poof

[vernal reef]

Just downloaded the Ashlands update and restarted my GPortal host and logged into our family server, and having a strange problem... we're suddenly jumping REALLY high. Can now jump onto the roof of buildings I normally walk in/under. And I have no idea why.

Is there some change, or update, or... bug, that could suddenly be causing us to super-jump? :/

[compact heath]

not super jump but the feather cape has a jump buff

[fringe sundial]

Might also Wana check your stats to see if anything changed there.

[vernal reef]

Is that a new change to Feather Cape since the patch?

[compact heath]

yes came with ashlands update, cape has some new buffs but also makes you very weak to fire

[vernal reef]

Ahh, ok. That appears to be it. Definitely less super-jumpy with the cape off. Didn't realize +20% jump would be so much in practice. Jeez. 🤣

[vernal reef]

Thank you SO much!

[compact heath]

You're welcome, enjoy the knowledge 🙂

[fringe sundial]

People go nuts with that cape...using the catapult to get launched super far.

[vernal reef]

Mostly trying to not accidentally jump off cliffs I now overshoot with a "normal" jump. 🤣

[fringe sundial]

Like the harpoon, but ashlands grade.

[vernal reef]

I don't see Feather Cape notes in Patch Notes at https://valheim.com/news/patch-0-218-15-ashlands/ though. Is there someplace else I should be looking for more patch-related changes?

[compact heath]

it was changed a few times during Ashlands test so not sure where newest info is, its not fully updated on the wiki yet either, will be there eventually

[still walrus]

anybody knows the drop chance for the charreds drop? specifically the warlock.

[vapid jolt]

uuuuh

[silk fable]

I mentioned that the boat was a drakkar which is only available on the Ashland so it couldn't have been the update that caused it. All of this was post update. The area it was being stored in was an area that was updated but that shouldn't matter.

[silk fable]

That's definitely a reasonable theory I just don't think that's the case because there wasn't enough time according to the server logs

[hearty panther]

Hey so after exploring the ashland for hours I finally found ONE pile of flametal ore in the middle of a lava pool. I can access it by jumping. I haven't touched it yet, from what I gather it starts to sink the moment you mine it? Like finding it and reaching it wasn't hard enough?

[hasty helm]

Question, are there pre-built worlds I can download and use in Valheim? I lost my save for my massively built up Mistlands world but am really eager to dive into Ashlands

[untold edge]

anyone know why my server keeps crashing my game and not even getting passed the loading screen? i can join my buddies which is strange

[pliant lodge]

I've seen a few on nexus and valheimians

[hasty helm]

Oh fantastic. Worlds that are ready for Ashlands?

[wet holly]

will ashlands exist in my world that was made before it was released? im sure someone asked this before

[pliant lodge]

There may be recent ones .. haven't looked in a while, sorry

[long halo]

how do i get the new bow recipe

[hasty helm]

If you havent explored Ashlands in that world you should be fine

[wet holly]

sick thank you

[marble roost]

^same thing for Deep North whenever that comes out (gonna be a few years prob), so try not to explore the tip top of the map!

[long halo]

how do i unlock new bow recipe

[opaque sonnet]

What am I doing wrong here, been at the gate for 10min

[long halo]

Had the same problem, just climb to the top and jump in

[opaque sonnet]

how though

[fringe sundial]

did you fill the back of your battering ram with wood?

[long halo]

Just jump in

And then once ur in loot and dig allt he way down until ur out lol

[opaque sonnet]

thank you that did it!

[opaque sonnet]

''just jump in the barricaded pit that has no hole where your character slides through '' yes ill get on that. besides, I tried it and it made my character fly around.

[fringe sundial]

its a odd design....took me a little to realize that.

with the ram's fire burning, the big wooden arms should pump and cause damage to the stronghold door/walls

[marble roost]

I think it's possible to squeeze through the hole in the middle of those spikes. Probably very finnicky though

I did it once but that was with fly devcommand so doesn't rly count

[terse tiger]

Do portals also share the same bug where they don't take enviromental damage if put on top of stone?

[fringe sundial]

not sure about portals. no one else has mentioned that. I usually have mine in a house, so there wouldn't be environmental damage to begin with. other work around is the base shield generator that is apart of ashlands. but those are materially expensive.

[opaque sonnet]

So its best to not make the base item of Ash Fang, or does it let you ''upgrade'' it when you get the stone you want on it?

[crude path]

I’ve destroyed 2 Drakkars just trying to land on ashlands. Freaking brutal

[terse tiger]

I might be able to solve if they need protection with a 1x1 roof, its fine

Somehow corewood takes damage when on stone

[hasty helm]

Bold request but would anyone be willing to download their pre-ashlands world and send it to me? My epic world was tragically deleted 😦

[terse tiger]

Why would you want a pre-ashlands world?

[opaque sonnet]

Place workbenches on the spires, repair your ship as you go through

[hasty helm]

I just want a world that is mistlands completed but hasnt touched ashlands yet

[terse tiger]

This corewood somehow isn't connected to stone or the bug doesnt apply to it

[sterile kelp]

what would cause this? only bepinex is installed.

[opaque sonnet]

Its because you placed the beams before the core wood, so the core wood is on top of the beam, not the stone.

[real nebula]

#mods-issues for modded games

[sterile kelp]

I posted there already, got no response. there are no mods installed, only bepinex for a more detailed log

[real nebula]

Bepinex is a mod for our purposes, we've had issues popping up just from having that

this channel is strictly vanilla

[buoyant peak]

You will only get the new recipes once you craft the weapons as the enchanted versions require the weapon itself to craft them

[sterile kelp]

only happens on one world, not the other. shouldnt be a mod issue. asking here because its not mod related

[buoyant peak]

Remove bepinex

[sterile kelp]

i think youre missing the point. only happens on one world, not the other, so its not related to bepinex

[lilac coyote]

No-one can say that unless you remove it.

[buoyant peak]

Doesn't discard the fact that it might still be bepinex

[real nebula]

Assuming that bepinex is not actually causing any trouble, that warning reads like a normal internal debug log as the game clears out unnecessary data, in this case terrain compilers. I take this is an older world?

[sterile kelp]

if it was, it would happen on both world files

[sterile kelp]

yes it is, and thank you, this is the info i was looking for. i started this world before mistlands or hildir

[real nebula]

There ya go then, probably part of the game's internal stuff to update old terrains

Logs that you aren't meant to see~

[sterile kelp]

anytime i get logs at a rate of 10 msg/s, it causes frame drops, which is why i am trying to troubleshoot.

[real nebula]

Do you get framedrops running the world without bepinex?

[sterile kelp]

yes but i have 3k hours on this world and its 30k+ instances so troubleshooting is hard

we are talking the difference between 7 and 12 fps when it is or is not enabled respectively, with drops down to 4.

ig since noone wants to look past the fact that bepinex is enabled, ill let it sit overnight and see if it is able to remove everything its looking for. if anyone wants to help, ill be over on mods-issues...

[real nebula]

I don't think there's anything actionable we can do over an internal debug log going off, or if it's the clearing of old terrain compilers that's causing it

Maybe optterrain does something? Are there any visible graphical bugs on the terrain around where you're getting those warnings?

[sterile kelp]

"nothing to optimize" ill poke around for anything clipping or glitching out. thanks anyways for your time.

[real nebula]

Cheers, good luck clearing out whatever's going on there

[crude talon]

bruh why swamp are so hard to survive

i can't walk 1 step whitout 50 skulls, slimes, draugrs and bloodsuckers on me

[sterile kelp]

The leeches think youre tasty

[crude talon]

😦

[sterile kelp]

what kind of food are you using?

[opaque sonnet]

Flatten the path out with a hoe, sneak around and snipe the draugr, for slimes, use poison meads.

Keeping your distance is typically your best bet when you just entered the swamp, once you get a bit of gear you can pretty much steamroll the place

[crude talon]

I'm playing with a friend, we use deer stew, carrots, etc., but I saw in a video that we have to make some kind of anti-poison antidote to go there

im using troll armor and he's bronze armor

[opaque sonnet]

Make some sausages, theyre easy to make ( thistle, boar meat and draugr flesh )
You kinda dont want to eat vegetables without turning them into better food.

[opaque sonnet]

You dont ''have to'' make poison meads at all for just running around. it does help a lot though in the dungeons when youre fighting slimes

[turbid stirrup]

Having a similar experience to this.

After exploring Ashlands collectively for a few hours, no one on my server has found flametal/"lavaiathans". We also haven't seen (spoilers, ig?) ||warlocks, Putrid Holes, a Fortress||. . .

Is this working as intended? Is our seed bugged somehow? It's updated in the sense of like, we go there, and there's the new environment, undead mobs ( ||Warriors, Twitchers, Marksmen, Ashvin, Fallen Valkyries, Bone Serpents in the water, Voltures. . .|| ).

[subtle parrot]

Strange, I loaded up a fresh and an old world during play test and had everything needed in both ashlands. Sounds like either terrible rng, or some kind of uncommon problem.

[turbid stirrup]

We're on a dedicated server — which might contribute? — it does seem like some sort of bug, but I'm not really sure how to go about. . . fixing it? We didn't have this issue for Mistlands. And, our Ashlands weren't explored previous to the update (we don't go to the un-added areas so they generate properly— or are supposed to).

[alpine elbow]

is there a fifth upgrade to the black forge and galdr table

[subtle parrot]

I suppose it could be desync, but that seems kinda like a lot to be desync on such scale

[turbid stirrup]

The weird part for me is that it's half-updated; like, we have an assortment of all the new things (re: my first message) but are missing others?

[distant moss]

Hello,does glowing sign work curent ver?

[subtle parrot]

Yes, 5 upgrades for black forge, but 2.. or 3 for the gauldr table now

[hardy brook]

Looking for help on Hildir requests. I went to a smouldering tomb location but it had nothing there

[subtle parrot]

Some POI's may have shifted with the ashlands update, you may need to talk to hildr again

[subtle parrot]

Seen any ||laval blobs or asksvins (big weird neck like creatures)|| ? ||valkyries||

[hardy brook]

Awesome will do, she's just really far and I was dumb enough to not build a portal the first time I ran into her so I just hadn't been back her way yet.

[turbid stirrup]

We see all of those

[subtle parrot]

What about dvergr?

[turbid stirrup]

Yep, see those too. ||Apparently there are voltures near lava streams? We don't see those, only @ the water). And we don't see warlocks.||

[subtle parrot]

Ruined structures with ||vineberries|| ? ||warlocks are only found in fortresses afaik, so if you haven't found those yet you won't see the warlocks||

[turbid stirrup]

I haven't found those, no, only ||pieces of building remnants with pots/runes||

like these and uhhh— (trying to go to some of my other portals for examples)

[subtle parrot]

Do you know the seed?

[turbid stirrup]

An AMAZING280— and when we try to load that up fresh there are things (like the lavaiathans) but I don't know why the dedicated server itself is like, half-updated?

someone in our group made a private with the seed to check one of our portal locations and it's updated there but not seeming on the server?

[subtle parrot]

Yeh i figured that would be the case. You might ask in #dedicated-server if anyone knows what's up with that. Or you might have to contact the server provider if it's a paid server.

[turbid stirrup]

Thank you for trying, Fukov!

[sterile kelp]

tried to go to ashlands on my old map and its just pillars

[marble roost]

Near the coast it should be, but real ashlands stuff past the pillars?

[sterile kelp]

thanks ill keep looking

[deft sandal]

Hey guys, so I did the massive dumb idiot move apparently, and need help. I was staying on the pre-ashlands build (bc mods) but wanted to try ashlands on my new steam deck. Well, I found the cloud saves on the steamdeck and thought: "Well, I don't want or need these modded saves on my steamdeck" so I got rid of them... Two days later is today and I just got on my computer to find the saves gone... How fucked am I?

Couldn't find any backups on my PC btw

[sterile kelp]

click on the manage saves button. find your old save, and click restore backup

[deft sandal]

It's not there

Not my character, nor my world

[sterile kelp]

have you checked the actual folder in your files?

[deft sandal]

Yep, not there either. Just the cache of it

I was stupid and assumed cloud saves meant local AND cloud, not literally just cloud

[sterile kelp]

big sad. idk. someone else might have some ideas

[jade tusk]

delete recovery software fast and quick check

[deft sandal]

Like, surely when it was deleted it went somewhere?

[deft sandal]

recommendation for a particular one?

[jade tusk]

haven`t used one long time

[marble roost]

feels real bad, I prob woulda assumed the same

[deft sandal]

Fuck it, that warrants a suggestion I think. I think having cloud ONLY is a ridiculous default

[sterile kelp]

a program called valheim save shield helps me, been using it since the world end bug deleted my world. it wont help you get your things back, but it will help you keep it dfrom happening again

[deft sandal]

Trying recuva, not having any luck

[sterile kelp]

flew over there to make sure it spawned properly, it did. 🤣

not sure why its just showing as a file and not a video

[deft sandal]

For anyone who has deleted steam cloud saves and needs them back, there is a way (if you're lucky like me)!
Go to https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage
Find Valheim and click show files on the right. Download the most recent files:
For characters, this will like be the <CharacterName>.fch and <CharacterName>.fch.old files
For worlds, this will likely be the <WorldName>.db and <WorldName>.fwl files
Then make more backups, apparently use the Valheim Save Shield, and maybe avoid cloud saves, and don't delete any saves ever.

But jesus christ that was way too stressful and never should've been allowed to happen

I know it's my fault but it's still so stupid

[deft sandal]

not sure why its just showing as a file and not a video
Because discord doesn't support embeded .mkv files

[sterile kelp]

unfortunate, but duely noted

[sterile kelp]

i restored a slightly older save and it fixed the problem. im not quite sure what the issue was, but good riddance. the only errors i get now are "failed to get attatch prefab for item", but its only 15 of them, and not continuous

[neon brook]

Hey, are there any helpers online at the moment?

[sterile kelp]

i might be able to help

[neon brook]

Thank you so much. So I've been trying to play the new update since release. When I enter the game, I can look around, open my inventory and such. But for some reason, I cannot move out of the spot I logged in on. Also for some reason, the xbox controller scheme is appearing, and I've never played with the controller before.

[sterile kelp]

thats definetly a strange one. a few questions;

Are you using mods?
are you on steam, xbox, pc game pass, or the pc microsoft store?

are you on the latest version of the game?

for troubleshooting purposes, you could try creating a new world or character on your old world to force them to the starting area

[neon brook]

Yes, this is modded. The error code I recieve is this. I did some research and it says the error is based off of mods that alter the status effects of the game, but when I look through my list, none seem to really add any effects, if anything they make the stamina system more relaxed. I'm on windows 10 pc/Steam. Yes I'm on the Ashlands update

[sterile kelp]

I see now that youve posted on the mods page. this is typically from a mod being broken

turn off all mods and enable them one by one to figure out which one is broken

[real nebula]

For modded saves we can only really suggest to remove all mods and see if the same issue happens on a vanilla save, yeah

[crude talon]

how i can make sausages i have the items but i don't have it to make

[real nebula]

#mods-issues would be the place to go for more nuanced mod support; our main channels are strictly for vanilla Valheim

[old bronze]

Are the worlds saved on cloud? I might reset my PC and I wouldn't like to lose my world

[sterile kelp]

cloud saves are indicated by the cloud icon. there should be a button to move the save to local.

[neon brook]

Alright. I have 80 mods 😮 So this might take a while

[sterile kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/tedlasso-yikes-gif-27201348

[real nebula]

You need to upgrade the cauldron for sausages

[crude talon]

how i get the upgrade? i think i don't have it on my hammer

[real nebula]

Usually the last ingredient one needs to unlock the upgrade recipe is turnips

[crude talon]

sheeesh how do i get it

[real nebula]

Turnip seeds can be found in the swamp, from yellow flowers similar to carrot seed flowers in the BF

Cultivator to plant them, same as carrots

You need a couple of each, plus thistle and dandelion iirc, to make a spice rack for the cauldron

[crude talon]

nooo swamps 😦

[real nebula]

My spreadsheet in #valheim-chat pins has food item info, including the materials for all cauldron upgrades and all foodstuffs

[real nebula]

Well yeah, sausages are swamps-tier food

[crude talon]

I ran naked through all the swamp I found and didn't find any turnips -;

[daring nimbus]

hello, need help, can we do something about this guy? a random guy managed to join my friends server and start summoning skeleteon troll , destroying our base in the progress.

[sterile kelp]

have the admin use the ban command

[daring nimbus]

and the server need password to join.

[sterile kelp]

change your password

you can also have the admin use the killall command but i believe this will also kill pets

[fossil halo]

On xbox how to you make a world backup?

[sterile kelp]

i believe its automatic, check the manage saves menu

[urban fog]

Do the Dvergr respawn?

[sterile kelp]

iirc, some of them spawn in the wild, but the ones at POIs do not. dont hold me to that, its been a while since ive been to the mistlands

[still solar]

why? the writing does not appear

[frail cave]

Wow what a jerk, that's not even funny

[rough plume]

are you sure it's not facing backwards?

[still solar]

I must be sleepy lol

[nimble parcel]

wut? that's what I use... with the ? "wut?"

[still solar]

it was just an example

[nimble parcel]

hah ok. Every base, every map I played, I've always put that over the bed 🙂

[still solar]

btw im brazilian you dont understand all plates haha

[willow raft]

@kind nest Updated all your graphics drivers and microsoft updates?

[kind nest]

Yes I did

[willow raft]

@lapis terrace Could @kind nest send you a crash report to figure out why the game is crashing?

[lapis terrace]

no but to @ornate finch

[hardy lark]

does all mods currently dont work cause of no bepinex new version?

[fringe totem]

||anyone having issues placing a Portal - Stone in Ashlands? I just get a bunch of "Invalid Placement"||

[willow raft]

||Haven't been to ashlands yet but followed the talks about it and you need to place those on the ground preferably flat ground.
Not sure what that exactly means since I haven't been able to test it out myself.||

[opaque sonnet]

Anyone know if the little Asksvin will get out of this?

[west plinth]

In Ashlands when things catch on fire my graphics card goes to 1% usage and frames drop to 5

[last osprey]

Probably. They tend to climb on top of each other just like chickens.

[opaque sonnet]

Think it'll be fine adding another layer and slightly putting it into the hole?

[willow raft]

Maybe but a rood over it to shield them from flying predators that want to eat them as a snack.

[opaque sonnet]

Nah, got a mod that prevents tamed animals from dying, hated having every animal housing to be roofed and walled off

[last osprey]

depends on how many asksvin you hatch at once. Your best bet is a decent overhang though.

[random hound]

Can anyone help the games crashes on loading screen when starting or entering a world

[strong hound]

Right, I guess this issue has been brought up before, but I'll still ask it. When playing with friends who host the server, after a minute or less than that the server disconnects me giving me the icon on the top left, is there any fix not requiring mods that perhaps can solve the issue? Cheers!

[wooden quiver]

Game is not working on xbox series x, "Valheim" writing can be seen, then it synchronizing and after that it all goes black and nothing happen. I've waited for 15 minutes 3 times and its the same all the time. I even reinstall the game couple of times and it didnt work either.

Can someone help me?

[marble roost]

Does it just say "not responding"? Because if so just leave it. First time loading a world can take 5-10 minutes

If you don't click around / tab out it's also less likely to say "not responding"

[tranquil vortex]

can someone help me with this problem

my game don't even launching

[marble roost]

#valheim-help message

[marble roost]

I hear that symbol shows up sometimes when there's problems with installed mods. Other than that idk

If that's whats happening, it's not really a problem, just takes a while to load in content from ashlands update first time

[tranquil vortex]

so if I played without mods,then the solution is just wait? xD

[marble roost]

Honestly, I'm not sure. I don't think waiting will fix it

[tranquil vortex]

k 😦 ty anyway

[rustic crest]

mine too. I tried it also with a new character and a new world, still crashes while loading. it runs with "default_old - Previous stable", but not with the Ahsland update.

[subtle parrot]

There's a pinned post on how to properly remove mods if you want to try booting it without them

[subtle parrot]

#valheim-help message

[willow raft]

It happens to most people, it can take 5-10 minutes before the game creates everything.
Just don't touch your keyboard for at least 10 minutes if it takes longer than that something else might be at play.

[willow raft]

What do you mean with crashes, if it is windows saying it isn't responding just give it time 5-10 minutes.
See fukov's link for a tad more info on it.

[wheat perch]

can tames starve bc my boars just randomly dies when i am sleeping (i have them in a enclosure made of pole fences and stakewalls)

[thorn spire]

They can’t starve, but they can take smoke damage if you have a fire nearby. If they’re not fed, they won’t heal

[wheat perch]

i dont even have a fire close to them

[thorn spire]

When you look at them, are their hp bars full?

[willow raft]

In what biome?

[wheat perch]

meadows

[wheat perch]

yes

the enclosure

[willow raft]

Had a bat raid recently?

[wheat perch]

no

no raids i have raids on low so none have come yet

[thorn spire]

And you know they’re dying because they drop meat and hides ?

[wheat perch]

ye meat hides and trophies

[willow raft]

Strange then, they can't starve, there isn't a bat nearby, no fire and nothing else can seem to get in there.
Got any mods running?

[wheat perch]

nope completely vanilla

[marble roost]

Maybe a shaman walked up and spit poison through the wall? They do that once in a while

[willow raft]

That is the only thing I can think of that might be it.

[wheat perch]

ye im planning on expanding my base its rly tight rn

those were my second pair of boars in that pen

[thorn spire]

I was just thinking the same.

[willow raft]

Maybe make a moat and a cattle bridge over it.

[thorn spire]

Or at least a second stakewall

[wheat perch]

im going to tame for the third time then expand my stakewall and for securty put up spikes

[marble roost]

For best defense just make sure to box the boars in further from the wall. If they're kissing the outside wall some mobs like shamans or trolls will make easy work of them

[thorn spire]

I always put my boar pen in the centre of my base and farm around it

I can replant easily

[wheat perch]

i had a pen outside my wall before lol

then some escaped

[willow raft]

I've worked with boar and wolf pits before, then have an earthen wall around it with only one entrance that is only reachable with a cattle bridge, then put a big tree like an oak in the middle and roof the earthen wall.
The only thing that could really do something to them was the blobs from the swamp, they could jump and occasionally get close and poison some.

[ripe flower]

hey i cant post something in server and lfg can some one help em

[last kindle]

i explored many plains and found many furling villages and ruins

is there a last way to dind yaglhut without cheating or spending 40 more hours?

[willow raft]

Correct, you'll easier find his altar then a vegvisir.
Either keep on sailing for plains and look for either a vegvisir or a giant stone hand (actually fingers sticking up).
You could also use a seed viewer to find out where you need to go to find Yagluth.

[last kindle]

but it's cheatin

i already used the viewver to see if i missed a verg into already explored plains

[marble roost]

Indeed. A lot of people just find his altar before a vegvisir (his altar is 5 big stone pillars looking like fingers of a hand), pretty easy to spot if you come close by

But as Kamap said you can go to Valheim World Generator on google to find the location if you really want

[last kindle]

and no, there were no one

[marble roost]

Didn't even know the viewer could show vegvisirs

[last kindle]

but why devs made such mistake? i mean ... if we talk about turnip or onions, they are indeed hard to find, but you can continue without them. Now I ma literally stuck

it does, i made a try within the standard seed you get when you open the generator.

[marble roost]

Not literally stuck, there is I think 3 yagluth altars in the world so if you keep exploring you will eventually find them. It is very tedious though, I agree it should be a little easier to find him.

It's super up to chance though. I've also had worlds where I had to visit 9 mountains to find Moder, and she's not usually toooo tough to find

[last kindle]

my moder was hard to find

by itself, but i found verg easily

[willow raft]

They are called boss stones if I'm not mistaken, so far I have refrained from looking at the seed I'm playing on but I did use a seed from the seed channel that has all bosses close by at the start, a maypole close at the start and a bunch of beehives.
I did get a glance at the map before I was able to copy the seed and close it so I knew I had to go right from spawn for the maypole but that is all I knew.

[midnight pivot]

why is my world not launching

none of my worlds launch yea

[marble roost]

is it saying "not responding"?

[midnight pivot]

yea

[marble roost]

Just leave it and give it time to load, even if it says that. Could take 5-10 min

[midnight pivot]

oh okay

[marble roost]

First time launching a world since update it needs to load ashlands content. After that it should load quick

[midnight pivot]

ah okay

but i ran the game before when ashlands was out and it was fine maybe it was a small patch that causes this?

[marble roost]

dunno

[boreal cobalt]

I had 47😭
plains is too much

[true steeple]

What keeps killing you?

[marble roost]

is it those pesky sucky bois?

[boreal cobalt]

well I guess loxes coming out of nowhere when I'm fighting a fuling village

also loxes when I'm not fighting anything else

[turbid mantle]

Them skeeters be a problem

I wish skeeters weren’t nerfed

[true steeple]

How much were they nerfed? It was before I started playing Valheim.

[spare drift]

how do i update a non dedicated server

[turbid mantle]

I think they halved the damage?

[spare drift]

i play with my friends and i want to update the server to ashlands

[turbid mantle]

Idk I see a reddit post that says 85 to 75 so definitely not halved 😂

[true steeple]

It's 90 right now

[turbid mantle]

Hard to google it tbh

[lavish canopy]

Should've been updated if you are not on a Beta program.

[spare drift]

oh so its auto

[lavish canopy]

Yep. It's a Gameversion update and just connects flawlessly with older worlds if already created on older versions.

[turbid mantle]

I’m starting to feel like deathsquitos were never nerfed and I’ve just read it enough times in discord that I’ve also started to feel it happened

Google is making me feel crazy af right now not finding anything about pre nerf skeeters

[lavish canopy]

Well you get the rooted armour now which almost kills all extra damage made from them...

[true steeple]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Version_History 0.143.4 reduced damage but it won't tell us how much

[turbid mantle]

Hmm I wonder if we can see old versions of the skeeter wiki page

The damage should be there?

Honestly I don’t think I ever want to use the root harnesk in the plains

[true steeple]

All the old wiki pages are older than the damage change

[turbid mantle]

After dealing with the original skeeter experience I’d feel weird going into it again which such a huge advantage

[lavish canopy]

Wiki isn't that accurate 4 today as most if it's content is userdriven and relates to the early Ashlands updates for BetaTesters. There is much (especially Ashlands related) pretty wrong now.

[turbid mantle]

??? I’m talking about plains though

That’s all going to be accurate

Derek makes sure of it

[lavish canopy]

Just wanted to point out that it is not a Wiki from devs or team rather than users who can write whatever they want unless someone complains it. 🙂

[true steeple]

I haven't seen any misinformation on the wiki

[turbid mantle]

Is there even a dev wiki for any game in existence? I’ve never heard of such a thing. I’m sure there’s at least one somewhere though

[lavish canopy]

What Wiki we talk about?`The fandom one?

[buoyant peak]

And most of it comes from data mining, the game's files themselves.

I'm completely and absolutely sure that the game itself wouldn't have any wrong info

[true steeple]

There could be some community wikis that the devs help out with?

[turbid mantle]

Eh player based raids page has issues but that’s because player based raids has issues. Fresh players getting blob raids while never leaving the meadows for example

[buoyant peak]

Derek is actually one of the ones who actually searches by data mining.

Of all chroniclers he's one of the unlikeliest to have wrong info, and he wouldn't post misinformation willingly

[ripe flower]

CAN SOME ONE HELP ME. why i cant post this

[lavish canopy]

I didn't want to say there is a bunch of misinformation, just to be clear: Some stuff isn't that accurate for the 15/05 update. Look this seed: 547564564, try it, you got 5 fader locations 4real, Wiki says there is 3 (https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creatures#Minibosses) for fader <- that's just my point. I won't even blame any1 for providing Intel even if it's got a typo or sth.

[orchid bronze]

Hi, I’m just getting a foothold in the Ashlands and was curious if you could break those torture spawn spires? There one by a flame ore node and if it can be destroyed it would be worth chipping away at it.

[subtle parrot]

It may have been an assumption made on previous boss alter number being 3-4-5-3-4-5 for eik through queen, but I'm sure as more accurate information becomes more readily available the wiki will be changed to match.

[subtle parrot]

The large glowing red tombstone looking things?

[lavish canopy]

4 sure. My point was just that a bunch of stuff got changed in the changelogs for major update so wiki may not beeing that accurate as used to be rn.

[orchid bronze]

No I know those are in the fortresses, the stone looking ones. They took hit points and I hit it a bit and I’m not sure if they’re breakable or not

[subtle parrot]

There are some like that in forts yes, but there are others that I'm talking about that are out in the open, that glow red and they spawn charred. You can destroy them. If you could possibly take a screenshot and share it, i could give you a better answer

[ripe flower]

hey i cant post this for teh third time and no one in the chat sayed something to it can you help me why i cant psot this <@&816973484756172815>

[fathom badge]

To use modmail you need to DM it, not just tag it. Secondly, this is an English server, even under the LFG section. Certain common non-English words are blocked, and it appears that's what you're likely hitting

[ripe flower]

thank you

[loud raptor]

We are trying to locate the Elder boss (1st Valheim run) and the map icon is showing them as over a massive ocean. We haven't unlocked ships yet we have a raft but it seems unsafe to cross the ocean. Is there a trick to getting across the ocean? Should we look for another altar?

[dawn valley]

is there a chart that show me how many each metal i need?

[subtle parrot]

If you've been exploring the black forest you should've come across tin and copper and been able to craft bronze and then make a forge to make bronze nails along with fine wood you can make a nice little boat

[fathom badge]

Go explore the Black Forest that you likely have on the island. Have you found copper and tin, and smelted it?

[loud raptor]

Yes we have made bronze, we have upgraded our gear to level 4 mostly and we are ready for the next boss fight

[fathom badge]

Have you made any bronze nails?

[loud raptor]

No

[fathom badge]

A cultivator, planted carrot seeds and made good food?

Make all the "tool" type things like that, they open up a lot of stuff. Remember that food in Valheim is not just to keep you from starving, it's what gives you health and stamina and allows you to fight, so it is very critical. I would rather have higher level food than higher level gear at pretty much any stage of the game.

[loud raptor]

Yes we have made deer stew and minced meat sauce and we have a carrot farm going

Bronze nails has unlocked a boat

[fathom badge]

Resistances and weaknesses do not stack

I recommend leaving one of the pieces at your base in case you die, so you can enact a body recovery without freezing to death 😉

Even more important, a resistance will override a weakness, be it from a potion or whatever. Good thing to remember.

[boreal cobalt]

10 fulings chasing me how am I supposed to not die :(

[subtle parrot]

Climb a rock

[boreal cobalt]

they climb rocks too

now I can't even get my corpse because it's in the middle of the village

[lavish canopy]

relog a few times and die, use corpserun for better stamina and health regen.

[boreal cobalt]

It'd be nice if I didn't die

[lavish canopy]

Nothing more you can do when there is no oil pit nearby - if: tank everybody in there.

[lavish canopy]

Nah, you don't got me: Corpserun (retrieving a death stone) is one of the most powerful buffs in Valheim

[boreal cobalt]

it's stupid having to die to get another corpse

like I may aswell enable godmode and just get it

[lavish canopy]

Set yourself some milestones for retrieving and try to get away as far as possible from village - die again, relog in, get your stuff -> Walk away.

[lavish canopy]

Not stupid at all if you didn't consume any materials woe.

[lavish canopy]

Well, that's the ez way. Do what you wanna do. Just wanted to help with Vanilla playstyles for bad death positions.

[boreal cobalt]

what does reloging even do here?

[lavish canopy]

Despawn mobs and give full stamina again the point you logout.

[boreal cobalt]

it's just stupid I'm gonna waste 5-10 foods trying to get my corpse

[lavish canopy]

Then don't even eat. 🙂

[boreal cobalt]

then I don't have stamina

how long is a tick even in this game I'm fighting fulings and have to wait like 2 minutes to heal

[lavish canopy]

The time you lose it should be your deathstone - if needed before build more death stones to retrieve items - casually dying that way won't conflict with skills and "the gods are mercy"

[subtle parrot]

Only the ones that slope just right with the ground

[boreal cobalt]

maybe my game is bugged because the last 8 times I tried it 7 times they did climb it

[lavish canopy]

Tank them towards Loxes or oil pits.

[boreal cobalt]

I'm afraid loxes don't attack fulings

[lavish canopy]

They do, if they do.

[subtle parrot]

Lox don't but tar blobs attack everything

[wheat perch]

or get a f ton of wolves tamed

[lavish canopy]

Loxes have an aggression state afaik. 😦

[boreal cobalt]

are you playing a different game?

[subtle parrot]

Just rock spawn rng I'd guess, i climb rocks to get away from them all the time

[boreal cobalt]

rng is amazing...

[marble roost]

They used to not climb rocks much, but after a certain update I feel they almost always climb them

Thank god though, being able to hideout on a rock was so boring

[boreal cobalt]

sooo boring
how do you avoid dying?

[marble roost]

Parrying, dodge rolling, jump attacking, running away if things get too overwhelming

I've completed the game on Hard mode without dying, and without using (in my personal opinion) cheesy things like atgeir and bow but I've also been playing a long time

[boreal cobalt]

I'm really playing a different game

[marble roost]

I struggled a lot on my first run though. Me and my friendgroup kept dying to deathsquitoes 🪦

[boreal cobalt]

I played my first run duo and it was so much easier...

[subtle parrot]

Which update? It has been a couple months since i actually played any in my most recent playthrough, just got done with mountain and was taking a break when ash ptb hit, so it's probably been several more months since i actually played in the plains except on my cheat character in my passive build world lol

[subtle parrot]

You could use an iron bow, it has a smaller alert radius around hit targets than other bows so it can lure fewer fulings out

[marble roost]

I'm really not sure which one. Either Hildr, Mistlands, or sometime in between

[boreal cobalt]

one village there's very little spear fulings and I just cheese it with an atgeir and the other they keep killing me with these spears made of deathsquitos or something

[fathom badge]

It was a little while back, maybe 6 months or so when they did a big fix update without much content. The enemies got better at climbing walls, so you need to make sure they're sheer. If you can run up it without jumping, an enemy can climb it.

[subtle parrot]

I gotcha

[subtle parrot]

Noice, yeh i remember feeling like they could climb better when i got raided by some draugr and one of my walls was just barely sticking out enough to climb

[fathom badge]

Yup. It also let skeletons get onto the platform at the entrance of the Burial Chambers, where it previously used to be relatively safe 😉 That was a fun thing to learn in a new playthrough.

[lavish canopy]

You're right. Loxes won't attack stuff attacking them - thought they did, my fault. Sorry.

[boreal cobalt]

these fulings are driving me insane
I just wanted flax but it never spawns ofc

[fathom badge]

Yeah... they can have fields in the villages, or sometimes in the chests you find around, but it's not super common.

[subtle parrot]

Ah that makes sense lol that was a bit annoying with 2star skeletons now that i think back on that

[boreal cobalt]

I've been in 6 and found 3 with barley it's so stupid

[boreal cobalt]

tar pits aren't helping either there's 3 blobs per one and they die immediately

[marble roost]

Should only be 2. But they can often kill a fuling before dying themselves. If you distract the fulings it'll help the tar blobs survive and help you with ranged support, but at that point you do have to be careful to both be doding fulings and tar flying at you

[boreal cobalt]

btw how do you handle making bases? I had one base in the meadows but then hoarding all the blackmetal to spawn is quite annoying so I built a new one but had to get iron and copper

do you just sail all the blackmetal back to spawn?

[fathom badge]

I usually build all my "major" bases shoreside. Anything inland is mostly decorative.

[marble roost]

I usually try to set up a very very temporary base early on, and then once I kill Elder I'll try to find a nice patch of meadows near a swamp that has crypts (i'll spot the crypts by sailing by), and a tall mountain nearby. That way there's almost no travel time when needing to get iron and silver. I'll bring copper/tin/bronze to start up that base.

Once I get to plains I like to set up a base there, but could also just haul the blackmetal back. The main key with hauling is just to bring a lot each time, rather than a tiny bit. And as pita says, bases by the shore are much more convenient because you can sail materials right to them

[boreal cobalt]

I mean how many major bases do you make?

[marble roost]

I usually make like 2 in a playthrough. Recently though I've enjoyed building and decided to restrict portals a lot to encourage more bases

[uncut pier]

Hi, I started playing in the ashlands on the PTB, on a world I already explored but where I never went to the ashlands. And I have a problem, Ashlands are here, and I have already explored this biome quite well but my map still has the previous ashlands so I can't locate myself. Does anyone have a solution to this ?

[boreal cobalt]

Isn't it annoying to have to get all the forge upgrades etc every time?

[marble roost]

Well I only have 1 main base at a time. So I live in a main base for a while, and then when I'm done with it I deconstruct all the forge upgrades and such and sail to a better location and make a new main base there to set everything up

Again I usually have my first base in meadows near a swamp and mountain, second base in plains (preferably somewhat near mistlands and now Ashlands)

[boreal cobalt]

if your world is local you need to go to appdata/localLow/ironGate/valheim/worlds_local and delete cache files with the name of your world

[fathom badge]

Often a decent sized one in the Meadows near the start until I get through the iron age, then my primary base in the Plains generally. I'll make others as I feel inspired, though.

[boreal cobalt]

I guess you only need to delete mapText but I'm not sure

[cold crescent]

does anyone know how to delete sails on the valheim raft mod?

[fathom badge]

#mods-issues is where you want to ask

[fathom badge]

You can delete all the cache files without risk, they will regenerate as necessary

[uncut pier]

thank you but won't it destroy the different builds I made ?

[boreal cobalt]

yes, I'm not sure if you need to delete all to recache map, I guess no

[fathom badge]

The cache files are just the map textures, not the actual game world data

[boreal cobalt]

no it's just a temporary file so the game loads faster

[uncut pier]

Thank you, will tell you if it worked

[granite rampart]

Hey, since the latest update I can't load into any worlds as the game just crashes in the load screen. Anyone have any idea what it would be?

[charred idol]

Haven't played in a while now to stack up playing both mistlands and ashlands - however I can't load a game. I get to the main menu, but whatever I pick new player/old player/new map/old map I just get "Valheim (Not responding)" and have to exit through task manager. Also doesn't matter if I pick Vulkan or not. WTF?!

[fathom badge]

It can take a while to generate the new data in an existing world. Just wait for a while, it can take 3-4 minutes for it to complete the first time. It will load like normal after that.

[fathom badge]

Same answer as I just gave. Just wait for a bit.

[granite rampart]

Appreciate that, i'll give it a try

[frail cave]

I am looking for a server as a brand new player, dont wanna play solo and none of my friends play the game, what are my options'"?

[charred idol]

@fathom badge I'll try it, cheers.

[fathom badge]

We've got a #1024264966712340510 channel that might be good for you?

[gilded sage]

Hey ya'll, I'm trying to configure a valheim dedicated server on an arm64 server, I've installed box64 to run it and managed to get it up but I can't connect to it for the love of everything that is sacred (and else), can anyone help? The server is listed and terminal output looks mostly fine (with some errors and seem normal to ignore?)
I've made this post on reddit also asking for help with more details: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1cswhlp/linux_dedicated_server_is_listed_but_cant_connect/
When I try to connect to it I get connection failed everytime (Doesn't even get to the point of asking for password, you can try it if you want -> Server name: GramisServer)

npm i -g gamedig
gamedig --type valheim 144.22.253.22:2456
{"name":"GramisServer","map":"GramisServer","password":true,"raw":{"protocol":17,"folder":"valheim","game":"","appId":892970,"numbots":0,"listentype":"d","environment":"l","secure":0,"steamid":"90198268402783247","tags":["g=0.218.15","n=27","m="],"players":[]},"version":"1.0.0.0","maxplayers":64,"numplayers":0,"players":[],"bots":[],"queryPort":2457,"connect":"144.22.253.22:2456","ping":47}

[uncut pier]

THANK YOU, it worked perfectly, now I can explore in peace

[frail cave]

doesnt seem to be many fresh NA servers

[fathom badge]

#dedicated-server will have more knowledgable people, but ARM64 is an unsupported platform so don't expect a whole lot

[charred idol]

@fathom badge Actually been 10+ minutes, no change. My client just dies whenever I try to load a map.

[gilded sage]

ty @fathom badge

[fathom badge]

Unfortunately all servers are community created and run, there's not much else to do about it.

[fathom badge]

Do you have any mods installed, or have you ever?

[charred idol]

None, never

[fathom badge]

And you just sit there not moving the mouse or anything when trying to load the map? Can you create a brand new character and world and does that work?

[charred idol]

Yes I can create a new character, and a new world - but when trying to load the new world (or an old one) - the game crashes

[fathom badge]

Can you check your player.log file to see if it is showing any errors? Again... that "not responding" is SUPER common when you move the mouse or try to switch apps or something while the game is processing the world data, and the only solution is to wait without touching anything while it does it's thing.

If the "not responding" window pops up, that means you did something

[charred idol]

@fathom badge Waited a while longer not touching anything and that did it 😂 Sorry mate and big thanks answering so quickly on a friday night!

[granite rampart]

Mine has worked, thank you @fathom badge Can't believe my issue was being impatient 😂

[fathom badge]

No worries 😉 Middle of the workday for me here still, I just fart around here when work is slow.

Good news is future loads of those worlds should be just like you're used to, it's just the initial data generation that takes time.

[charred idol]

@fathom badge Farting around doing the lords work!

[lilac ingot]

Is there a guide/tips page for the epic loot mod?

[marble roost]

ask in #mods-discussion

[sudden lagoon]

Has there been any official news about addressing performance issues in Ashlands?

[marble roost]

Don't think so

[lilac coyote]

Performance issues? I'd imagine not.

[boreal wagon]

Hmm after the update I cannot launch my server. It just loads forever and then crashes. Any idea how to fix it

[marble roost]

It can take 5ish minutes for it to load first time. Just give it time. Even if it says it's not responding just leave it

[spare drift]

do you need anything specific for ashlands so you dont like, burn to death

[marble roost]

You need a special ship to get there. The water is boiling

||Go kill queen||

[tepid mortar]

Do Loxes have stars?

[spare drift]

yeah we will make the drakkar

but i was wondering about ourselves in general

[subtle parrot]

Pretty sure they don't

[marble roost]

No, nor do death squitoes

[marble roost]

Nope, as long as you have the drakkar you're good to go!

Surprisingly fire resist isn't all that useful in Ashlands

[thorn spire]

what about armor. is heavy armor recommended over speed (i.e. fenris set)?

[subtle parrot]

Depends more on your playstyle

[marble roost]

Entirely up to preference. Fast or tanky, both viable

I personally feel like mages with some speed do pretty well in Ashlands, but it depends on what you do well with

[spare drift]

mages trade hp for mana. how do they avoid dying?

even with my hp food im at risk of dying

[frail cave]

so uh, does lava destroy the gravestone? seems like all of my stuff is gone lel

[marble roost]

staff of protection. Much better than any hp food ever would be.

Plus mages stay at range, so they're not in danger much. Especially if you run some light armor (fenris is great) to keep yourself at distance and mobile to dodge ranged attacks

[thorn spire]

is the eitr-weave set not worth using then?

[marble roost]

It can be good, but I personally prefer movement. Maybe two fenris pieces and one eitr piece. If you're rested your eitr regens fast enough imo. I would maybe recommend running 1 stamina food if you find yourself running out of stamina and enemies catching up to you though

Personally I like to run a hybrid mage where I'm primarily a mage but also go in with melee weapons sometimes for heavy damage. Running something like 2 eitr 1 stamina, or 1/1/1

[tepid mortar]

Does the taming process reset at some point?

[thorn spire]

Once it's begun, no. It will pause if you leave the area though.

[tepid mortar]

kk ty

[spare drift]

will they add more biomes?

[wheat perch]

yes

[spare drift]

the map looks pretty complete imo

[wheat perch]

they will

[spare drift]

where are they gonna fit

[wheat perch]

1 up north that isnt done

[thorn spire]

deep north is the last one. there's already a placeholder up there for it.

[spare drift]

oh right

its just normal snow biome there

[marble roost]

They might tweak oceans a bit too, but yeah Deep North is the only one missing

[wheat perch]

should you be able to get 2 bonemass location stones in the same crypt (i just got 1 lol)

[marble roost]

Yes

They'll lead to the same bonemass though. They always show the closest location (and there's like 3-4 locations in the world)

[wheat perch]

ik

[fathom badge]

The rooms in dungeons are more or less randomly selected when it's generated, and some of them can have the vegevisir in them. There's no rule saying there can be only one in any dungeon. I have found multiple in Frost Caves for sure.

[wheat perch]

also knew where the boss were before i even got the first (used a map tool)

[fathom badge]

It's fun playing without knowing the map ahead of time. Makes excursions more exciting and risky 😉

[wheat perch]

but it makes planning trips alot easier

[fathom badge]

So would just using exploremap and fly commands. You play it the way you want to, but it's worth trying some of the intended mechanics, especially if it's your first time playing.

[bold lynx]

Should I just make swords? Like I see so many other weapon options but I am curious like if its standard or common to have multiple situationally? Is it worth my time?

[fathom badge]

If you like swords, make swords. They will be relevant through the whole game. But not against all enemies, so having multiple weapons is often beneficial. Between swords, bows and maces you can cover pretty much every enemy though. The primary damage types are slashing, blunt and piercing, and each weapon can do one or more of those. Different enemies resist or are weak to different damage types, so you gotta play a bit to find what works.

[bold lynx]

what about using the eitgyrr or whatever it is called? it looks cool

[fathom badge]

Atgeir? Yeah, those are super handy. They do piercing damage primarily, and are great for crowd control and against trolls and lox. Some enemies resist them though, so it's still a situation where you will want to be able to do a couple different types of damage.

[bold lynx]

how do i know ifthey resist

[fathom badge]

You can look it up, or when damage numbers are grey they are resisting, white means it's effective, and yellow means they're weak to the damage.

[simple echo]

hey guys, me and my friends started a no map run with a compass mod. problem is, everytime someone dies, a death mark gets placed on the map, and we cant remove because, well, we dont have a map. any help?

[fathom badge]

Seems like an issue with the mod. Might go ask in #mods-issues , the main channels are for the unmodified game

[final sand]

Is it normal for the spawner totems in ashlands to respawn? Even if theyre basically inside our base?

[marble roost]

Think so yes. Very wacky

[still solar]

why?

[thorn spire]

need fire under the whole length of it. Turn them the other way; you'l fit two over a hearth.

[fathom badge]

You can actually get 3 if you're careful

Or two with enough space between them for a cauldron

[thorn spire]

Nice. I haven't been able to

[fathom badge]

Put one in the very middle, and then build one to either side as close as you can and you should be able to do it pretty easily

[thorn spire]

Now I have to go rebuild my kitchen

[still solar]

thx

[boreal jackal]

my world won't launch after the ashlands update

[autumn oriole]

Hello I was wondering if there is anything good non hostile free server hosting services that you guys use for playing with your friends

[marble roost]

just give it time to load, could take 5 min. If it says it's not responding just ignore it and let it continue loading

[boreal jackal]

thx

[marble roost]

Don't think there's any free server hosting services

[autumn oriole]

Damn

[radiant oxide]

my game keeps crashing when i try to go into a server can anybody please help me

[marble roost]

Give it time to load, could take 5 min. Ignore if it says it is not responding

Should only take long first time you’re joining the world since Ashlands update

[radiant oxide]

oh ok

[floral pumice]

Hello guys, Anyone faced huge FPS drops specially around home. and if any how did u fix it?

[pine seal]

valheim keeps crashing when i make a new world what is happening

[marble roost]

3 msgs above

[pine seal]

❤️

[fringe sundial]

It could be your "instance" count among many things. On PC, press f2 and see what your FPS and instances are. Someone posted a video to help with FPS in the build tips chat: #building-tips message

[spare drift]

is the max food station lvl 5 right now

[marble roost]

I wanna say 6.

Starts at 1, then Swamp (2), Mountain (3), Does Plains have one? (4), Mistlands (5), Ashlands (6)

Pretty sure plains has some pots

[sleek vault]

If i spawn a 2 star gjall through commands will it despawn like it normally does?

[umbral briar]

Couldn’t load game last night, tried starting new character and crashed upon hitting the load screen pre game. I am on PC. Anyone have any suggestions ?

[true steeple]

No. The reason they normally despawn is because they’re spawned by night, so spawning them with commands won’t cause this.

[sleek vault]

And do summoned trolls despawn?

[true steeple]

Enemies do not despawn unless spawned by a raid or by night (that’s not anything spawned at night, but enemies that are exclusive to night or part of an increased spawn cap)

[sleek vault]

Gotcha

[wild light]

Just popping in with a quick question. I have a server (Dathost) with a Valheim save.
But I want to use a mod quickly on it, (to raise dirt above the limits). When I download the world and put it into single player, there's missing progress on there but only in certain areas.

So for example, we have a decent sized base, I'm currently building a castle, we've just done Moder.

When I put the save into the world save file and boot it up, (without the mod too), the base is half built, the castle doesn't exist, Moder is done as the trophy is on the stone circle thing.

Whereas the base has been completed for several months now, the castle has been in progress for about 2 weeks, we did Moder a couple of days ago.

[true steeple]

That’d be a problem with the server host, not valheim.

[wild light]

I should've added that I've removed the world from the server restarted it, re uploaded the world and it works fine on the server still.

So it seems the actual save file is fine? I think.

[primal geyser]

hello i have and issue with bonemas i visited 2 location with this boss and there is no spawn on the mark

i thought that it was unlucky first time bcs there was dungeon on place of boss but after i have visited second location idk

[true steeple]

Use the vegvisir again, locations have moved with the ashlands update.

[primal geyser]

ok thank u very much

[static finch]

Is there a way to remove magma in the ground? There's a small patch that is stopping me from building entirely.

[true steeple]

You could carefully lower it with a pickaxe

You might need to build some flametal structures if it’s too big to reach the centre with your pickaxe

[marble roost]

Lava blob could assist in lowering it too

[austere basin]

hey i wanted to ask here, valheim has times where it has really low fps and is lagging like crazy when i should have good enough graphics for it

the only thing i can think of that could cause this is the fact i have intel graphics and not nvidia

it runs better on my main computer which has worse specs

but has nvidia graphics

unplugging my headphones seems to fix it for a little bit

okay it seems like switching resolution also fixes it

[hallow star]

Hey fairly new to the game trying to figure something out, valheim seems to be causing my pc to partially crash, anyone out there have any insight?

[tiny mantle]

i have been having a issue maybe i am dumb idk
but on my dedicated server it wont let me chat message?

i can type but it will not send

[livid wasp]

Do u need to have bench lvl 4 for the troll hide head piece?
I have all pieces for that one and there’s no crafting option (yes I have bone fragments)

[marble roost]

No, should unlock along with the other pieces

[spare drift]

is there a better set than this armor? i mean going by the attributes this is as peak as it gets (excluding helmet, ill upgrade it soon)

[hallow star]

Mine just randomly crashes, and I've got 1080ti gpu so I know its not top notch any more but more than enough for this game lol

[marble roost]

That's the meta build for Plains and Mistlands at least. Not entirely sure how well Root harnesk holds up in Ashlands. There's a fair bit of pierce damage it can help with, but a heavy metal armor would give much more balanced protection

[spare drift]

🤔 there arent many piercing foes in ashlands

[austere basin]

there are a suprising amount actually

the morgen does pierce and blunt

[spare drift]

this is the heavy that you are talking about?

[austere basin]

i personally would go just root harnesk

[spare drift]

yeah also one question

can tower shields parry

[austere basin]

no

they can only block

[spare drift]

seems obvious to go for a buckler then

[austere basin]

yea

[marble roost]

Yea, carapace armor okay too. Up to you if you wanna do that or root chest tho

[lost tundra]

What charred skull is used for?

[marble roost]

Nothing. Makes ballistas target charred I think

[spare drift]

also, where do i find vineberries in ashlands

[marble roost]

They can grow on some of the abandoned ruins

[daring nimbus]

Sorry, but is there a way to make the server private? Because this is the 2nd time a random guy joined my friends server (with password) and start killing us with his summoned skeleton troll while destroying our base, and even summoned a skeleton troll near the player spawn. Thanks.

[marble roost]

After looking at some of the newly added ashland mob stats on the wiki, I feel like I'd prefer flammetal armor over root chest. It's a tough choice though

[spare drift]

i can not find them :(

all im getting are fiddleheads and smokepuffs

[finite sorrel]

If it has a password it’s private. You can add an allowlist perhaps and add all your IPs to it

[spare drift]

cant they do /ban

[marble roost]

I haven't explored Ashlands too much, but I found them to be rare too

[daring nimbus]

The server is 24 hour open so far, most of the time my friend afk, either taking care of his kids or online meeting, thats why it's lways too late when we acknowledge this stranger. But thanks.

[marble roost]

Once you get some you can plant them at home. But what's worse is that you need to get a vineberry seed, not just a vineberry. The seeds have a low chance of dropping when harvesting berries

[subtle parrot]

I must have a pretty lucky seed i guess, cause I haven't had any trouble finding all the things in my ashlands. Vineberries are all over the place for me.

[spare drift]

wheres the vineberry planting option

@marble roost

[marble roost]

As I said you need a vine berry seed, not just a vine berry. Do you have a seed?

[spare drift]

how do you get a seed

[marble roost]

^

[spare drift]

so fun

[marble roost]

Yup

[old bison]

is there a way to unlock all building recipes using devcommands i want to made a world where i can just build but idk how to get all the options

[spare drift]

oh i hit jackpot, i found emperor flames ruins and theres a fuuck ton of them

[elder jewel]

I have visited 2 smoldering tombs and both times, nothing was found. I cut down every tree, dug out the copper and still nothing. This happen to anyone else? Any thoughts?

[opal obsidian]

Is there any mods that make building easier? For example how Minecraft has litematica and stuff. Does Valheim have any mods like that?

[pliant lodge]

there are a ton of building mods .. best to ask in #mods-discussion

[opal obsidian]

Oh didn’t even see that

[quasi pebble]

does anyone know the console command to turn on fire spreading its my first time setting up a server

[dim cloud]

Anyone have any idea why I can't join my server by IP anymore? I have to use the join code

[marble roost]

Ashlands update changed world generation so things might be in different spots. Talking to Hildrs table again might mark the right spots

[thorn spire]

does that mean Hildir and Haldor might be moved too?

[marble roost]

Potentially yea

[thorn spire]

oh damn!

[marble roost]

Also sometimes things don't move that much. I just found a hildr frost cave that was just like 10 meters off from the marker

[manic orbit]

Um..... This stone pillar did not shatter when i destroyed the base lol

[silent cove]

Do stone portals have to be placed on the actual ground?

I cant place it on black marble for some reason

[weak flax]

Loaded my mistlands vaheim server and everything is like 100 meters higher and everthing is destrying. Anyway to fix?

[halcyon crag]

gotta keep going, use ladders to help you gotta make more room between the pillar and anything else it's huge hitboxes could connect to like the ground/underground pieces, keep taking the pillar itself higher and it should pop

[exotic rock]

why do i keep crashing when i try to load my world

[steel comet]

How close/far away does breeding work for loxes? (do I have to be near the breeding pair in order for it to work?)

and how near is that in particular, like, within rendering distance?

[mellow agate]

How do I get flint

[steel comet]

its on the ground near rivers and oceans in meadows mostly. it's really common if you look.

[mellow agate]

Ok thank you

[manic orbit]

cool thanks!

[spark fossil]

Hey I explored like 10% of ashlands before it came out, is this enough to mess with the terrain generator?

[marble roost]

Not really. Only the 10% you explored won't update, the rest will

Even the 10% you explored may still update, although it kinda depends

[hollow jay]

https://fyi.cx/doJ7N5F.png

Does anyone know why I'm not able to spawn materials?

It says "'spawn' is not valid in the current context."

I'm an admin on my server though. I'm in the adminlist.txt

[lilac coyote]

Devcommands don't work on servers.

[hollow jay]

is there no way to spawn stuff?

My stuff gltiched and I can't get it back. So I don't know why I have to deal with wonk and have to get all my stuff back

My gravestone just disappeared

[marble roost]

You could join your own world, spawn it in, then join the server

Be careful with spawning stuff though, it's a slippery slope that tempts many

[hollow jay]

i've been playing for months/years and never had

but i spent so much time getting this stuff

and i don't wanna have to grind hours just to get it back because of a bug lol

[steel comet]

Does the "You are being hunted..." only apply to when you are not within a base?

[trail yacht]

so me and my friends just started a new playthrough and completely blind about the game, we just progressed through the Deer Boss and found out how to craft bronze.. the problem after this point is its pretty stagnant, just walking back and forth to Black Forest finding where to mine and then going back to base to smelt
is there anything better/optimal to do at this point of progress we're having?

[marble roost]

Basic gameplay loop is that you gear up in a biome, then kill the boss in the biome, and whatever the boss gives you you use to progress in the next biome

You got meadows gear, beat eikthyr, then went to black forest to mine and get bronze. Once you feel pretty kitted out in bronze/black forest gear, you need to take on the boss of the black forest. You can find a stone with a red glowing rune (vegivisr) that shows the Black Forest Boss's location. These stones can either be by the stone towers in the black forest, or in the burial chambers where you got surtling cores for

Keep exploring until you find the boss location!

I'm not sure if that was the exact question though. If it's just about how to most efficiently transport copper, there's not really great ways. Either run it back to base, or using bronze you can make bronze nails and then make a cart. Cart makes it easier to transport a lot of bronze, but it's a bit tough to maneuver

[trail yacht]

okay, so based on that i think there's nothing we can actually do other than gear up with bronze to kill the boss
the problem with "stagnant" thingy is just like what you said, the copper mine in our world is pretty rare and most of the times require us to swim accros a lake to navigate, hence why we barely use the cart and just track our way back to base when our inventory is full
also another thing is that we're a group of 6 and not all of us have the patience to mine until we're fully geared lol

[dreamy hearth]

I'm not sure that the server utility has an option to toggle that, but if you plan to upload a save to your server host, I think setkey fire will turn it on for your world. Still, if you are going to adjust it on your own machine, just toggle it on through the World Modifiers.

[gloomy phoenix]

Has anyone else noticed far more lag in multiplayer servers after the ashlands patch?
A friend and I both have dedicated servers hosted by different companies, and after the update, both of our servers are far more laggy, with more connection issues than before the patch.
both servers are fully updated, both the prepatch map and new maps are both far worse than they were before.
Additionally on the ocean, there are major fps drops when several people are on a boat together that never used to happen.

[elfin maple]

Bronze gear is a bit of a pain due to the way it is mined and how much you need. Personally I only get the basics (axe, cart, boat, maybe a mace or atgeir if I can be bothered mining) and just rock upgraded troll armor and an upgraded flint spear until the next tier.

[elfin maple]

Yes. Noticed the same. I thought it was just me. I had to switch my dedicated server host to begin with as well because one of my friends kept disconnecting. But even on this host we disconnect intermittently. Also noticing for instance that picking stuff up in the world is laggy/delayed as are attacks or blocks/rolls. The boat FPS drop was there before Ashlands for us, happened somewhere post Mistlands, but it was few and far between. Seems more regular now.

[halcyon leaf]

Dumb question: how do you spawn things on your own server with dev commands?

[gloomy phoenix]

in general, this game is, each biome has a boss to defeat, and a standing stone with red ruins on it someplace that will tell you where to find the next boss.
Once you complete the the current boss, you move to the next biome and you exploit it for everything you can so you're ready for the next boss. If you ever feel like there is stagnation, you either haven't explored enough to find all that can be exploited, OR you are ready to fight the next boss.

Sometimes the thing you might be missing that holds you back is so simple you just overlook it, like many brand new players don't even notice the small stones on the ground they can pick up and wander around forever.

for your particular problem, most people don't ever get bronze armor because it's too much work for an armor with little gain and makes you very slow. you just get bronze tools/weapons. also copper is far from rare in any world, you are just not noticing it, or you haven't explored enough.

[gloomy phoenix]

ok, thats good to hear, we were very confused because the game always ran reasonably well before 🙂 , Hopefully they know and are working on it.

[mild socket]

You can use mods, the one I use is called Server Devcommands. It allows you to do a lot of admin tasks. It needs to be installed on the server and any admin client that wants to use it.

[tepid isle]

Is there a "quick way" to mine ore? I seem to remember people saying you could ||destroy the bottom and it would all fall||, not sure if that is correct. And does it work for all ores?

[dreamy hearth]

The alternative if you don't want to use mods, is to save the server files locally to your own computer and spawn in what you need. You can upload that save back to your server then.

[sleek bluff]

If I’m on Xbox do I need to leave the public text preview on the insider app?

[true island]

Anyone elses boat sinking straight to the bottom of the ocean?

[tepid mortar]

Can I teleport Wolfes? Or do I have to ship them?

[true steeple]

You can move them in a ship but if they see a serpent they’ll all jump out and probably die

[tepid mortar]

God how am I supposed to get them in a Region then where they won’t be killed by wyverns ;-;

[timid thunder]

what trophies i am missing here? i know there should be sea serpent one and mistland boss, queen i think, but what others?

i am yet to visit ashlands or deep north

[true steeple]

You aren’t missing any meadows trophies, there aren’t enough to fit on a whole row. On the mistlands row you are missing the queen. I don’t know about the last row.

[summer canyon]

Generally yeah thats the case. What you'll find a lot though is that mining under it takes longer than just mining the ore. I recommend finding a monster that has enough pick power to break the ore, and lead them around to mine it for you. Or focus on getting the best (and most upgraded) pickaxe you can get

[brittle jetty]

Is this a new feature of the update? I've never seen this before

[carmine yarrow]

I have seen this before the update

[compact locust]

Hey there 🙂 quick question: If I deconstruct a build bee hive, to I get the queen back to rebuild it somewhere else? 🤔

[still walrus]

I seen that before but that thing shouldnt appear in that biome lol.

[carmine yarrow]

Once you have the queen, you can put up the bee hives as many times and wherever you want. No need to get a new bee every time. I never had any issues tbh.

[compact locust]

alright 🙂 good to know, thank you very much

[left stag]

Do hanging braziers count as warmth toward eggs?

[mystic solar]

Yes

[left stag]

perfect

boar pen will soon become chicken and boar pen

[hexed sundial]

Does anyone know why the frostner would be hitting below its minimum range against a twitcher?
Ive been doing testing and with a skill of 100, the frostner has a min/max of 79/93 for combined frost and blunt damage. Yet, during some of the hits against a twitcher, it went as low as 53.6.
This did not happen with the Silver Sword, Mistwalker, Spinesnap, or arbalest. All weapons stayed within their range.
Any thoughts?

[lost tundra]

What is charcoal resin used for?

[buoyant peak]

That the weapon's dmg value, not the actual dmg.

You need to see the values that are inside the parenthesis right next to the weapon's dmg. Which is the modified dmg based on your skill.

An ember staff says it deals 120 blunt + 120 fire, that doesn't mean you will deal 240 dmg in total as that's just the base dmg from the weapon. At skill level 0, you should be dealing around 40-70 (which is shown in yellow inside parenthesis)

[buoyant peak]

Pots

[lost tundra]

So only decoration?

[hexed sundial]

Yes, I set the skills to 100. The min max numbers I am using are the parenthesis.

[buoyant peak]

Pretty much, although they have very limited storage capacity

[hexed sundial]

The spirit damage is seperate. There is an initial hit for x damage, then the spirit ticking over time

[buoyant peak]

Can I see a pic of the stats?

[soft sandal]

Does anyone know what to do if Valheim crashes when I start the world?

[true steeple]

You need to wait. I think it takes longer because the world’s map texture is updating, but it could be something else caused by the update.

It’ll only happen once

[hexed sundial]

The 79/93 Min/max is the 30 Blunt/49 Frost min and the 35 Blunt/58Frost max.

As you can see from my spreadsheet, on hits 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 are all below that threshold. I replicateded this 3 times.

There was no drop on any other weapons

[brittle jetty]

Without spoiling much, is there any benefit to keeping and levelling crossbows once I leave the mistlands? Or does the ashlands go back to bows rather than crossbows

[buoyant peak]

That just seems like issues with how the game shows the numbers when a weapon has multiple dmg types.

Hard to know if it's actually taking into account all dmg types or only one or some of them as there's no visual clue that tells you.

[hexed sundial]

depends if you want dps or knockback

[buoyant peak]

Seems to try to show all damages in a single number but fails to do so properly. It also makes it difficult to know if it's actually the total damage dealt

[hexed sundial]

yea thats why I normally add the min/max to have a good range. Even an iron mace stays true to the range. Frostner is weird

[brittle jetty]

I've always been sad that there's no earlier crossbow than the arbalest so you get to Mistlands and you've got yourself a weapon with skill level 1. But I guess it's the same with the magic types

[hexed sundial]

So to keep spoilers minimum, they do very similar damage with the correct loadouts. But the bow will always shoot faster.

[quasi grove]

Would yall recommend iron armor or root harnesk armor? I'm currently at swamps

I find it crazy that root armor has less defense than troll lol

[left stag]

All depends on your playstyle

[brittle jetty]

All armour are balanced. Root is for archery, iron if you want to be tanker but slower. Root armour has 2 defence more per piece at level 1 than level 1 troll

[true steeple]

The pierce resist on the harnesk is very powerful

You could also use troll armor in mountains, it’s still very good there and you don’t need to kill a ton of abominations.

[quasi grove]

I like to parry attacks for the extra damage (and i do like defense for extra survivability)

[quasi grove]

But that'll only matter in the plains, right?

[true steeple]

It’s often used in mistlands too

[quasi grove]

hm ok, how different is the damage tanking between iron and harnesk?

[upper garnet]

In the Ashlands it seems I cannot find any dvergr outpost. I can find occasional dvergr wandering around, but no bases I even checked Valheim world generator and they should be there. Everything else is, but no dwerger outposts. I know it is older map, pub I have never been in Ashlads till it dropped, so that should be ok. Anyone, do you have same problem?

[true steeple]

There is quite a big difference, since root armor is best for avoiding damage rather than blocking it. I don’t know exactly though because I haven’t used iron armor in over a year.

[quasi grove]

hmm alright im stuck on what to choose xD

[true steeple]

If you like to use ranged attacks, or jump and roll more than you block and parry like me, use root armor. If you want to be able to block and parry as many attacks as possible, use iron.

[buoyant peak]

It doesn't

[left stag]

Had no idea there were supposed to be outposts there.. I've only seen them running around. Never an outpost though.

[buoyant peak]

Root pieces = 8 armor each

Troll pieces = 6 armor each

[quasi grove]

Yeah mb I forgot that I have lvl 3 troll armor, on the website it says a full set of harnesk = 24 armor but i didnt factor in upgrades

[quasi grove]

Alrighty thank you

[buoyant peak]

World viewer is being updated, content/location prediction is still WIP

[last osprey]

They have outposts in the ruins. Looks the same as any other ruin from a distance, but there's dvergr spikes around it and a ward + some crates inside.

Though they also tend to not last very long once you get close enough for the area to become active.

[mortal meteor]

Hi everyone, since the update 218.15 is out i can't start any world, old or new, if i did my game crash. but i can still join other world. can someone help me? can i send some logs to the dev?

[elder jewel]

Build a boat!! Find another forest with more copper deposits--its usually fairly common. Set up a forge /base closer to that. Tame some pigs-build a pig farm. Look for carrot seeds--build a carrot farm. Use the rocks from the copper mining to build rapparts to protect your farms.

[true steeple]

You need to wait for the map texture to regenerate. It’ll only happen once.

[mortal meteor]

sorry, i don't understand what i should do 🙂 i have also tried to reinstall the game

[true steeple]

Is the game actually crashing or just not responding?

[mortal meteor]

not responding

[true steeple]

You just need to wait when that happens. Once you’re in the world, it won’t happen again on that world

Or at least not until the next update that changes how the map looks

[elder jewel]

yes

[mortal meteor]

OH! ok, i im surprised because i have a very good pc and it takes a lot of time, my freind with lower specs was very fast

thx for the advice

[frail cave]

is there a way to change the current day like set it a few days ahead or prior?

[quasi grove]

is there any infinite light source in this game, getting pretty tedious to add resin to my standing torches lol

[low niche]

Hello. Help please. I rented a dedicated server. I can throw my world there. But the difficulty settings are not saved. Is there any way to change the settings of the world while already in it? maybe there are admin commands.

[marble socket]

Hi , i have a problem with my game i try to play with my friend but when i try to make a server my game just stop responding

[frail cave]

youll find some in the mistlands

[quasi grove]

ty

[last osprey]

||dvergr lanters and wisp torches in the Mistlands and lava lamps in the Ashlands||

though you can also just put dvergr circlets on item stands to use as spotlights.

[quasi grove]

Im a while away from those so Ill take note of those tysm

[last osprey]

for early game surtling trophies or yellow mushrooms on item stands make for a weak but permanent light source

[distant charm]

do tree stumps dissapear?

[last osprey]

only if you chop them

[frail cave]

can also do the fancy wall lights that use coal instead, lasts way longer

[quasi grove]

fancy wall lights?

the sconces?

[last osprey]

everything lasts longer than standing wood torches

[quasi grove]

tru but i see that as a waste of copper lol

[last osprey]

it's not like they need a lot. A single stack of copper is enough to light up even a fairly large base.

[frail cave]

Nah copper is super easy once you get the gist of it

[last osprey]

and you save much more time having to refuel less often.

[quasi grove]

yeah i guess so, im at iron so might as well invest. im just unsure whether or not anything in the future requires copper and then id have to go through the painstaking grind of mining copper again lol

[last osprey]

Most of the other permanent lights require metal to craft too, so you'll have to do that anyway.

[frail cave]

there is but you'll have enough decent kit so it's bot so painful

[quasi grove]

aight

ill invest in a few sconces lol

also unlocked stonecutter but i defo aint making another base out of stone xD

already got a wooden castle

[last osprey]

You get the full materials back when you deconstruct them anyway so you'll get it back once you upgrade to a different light source.

[quasi grove]

Tru tru

[frail cave]

I think, in a decent play through, the avg player shpuld have 4 or so main bases and easily 10 or so small f.o.b's

[quasi grove]

4 main bases??? for what LOL

[frail cave]

Meadows + forest, then swamp, then plains, then mistlands. Then you'll want a decent base in Ash and eventually the deep north

[quasi grove]

this is my current base, i dont really need to build a new one (other than possible making an area dedicated to a larger storage system)

[frail cave]

so actually, 6 main bases and a bunch of fobs

[quasi grove]

nahhhhh, teleporters do the job :p you dont have to relocate in every biome imo

i've purposely settled near a black forest, able to tp metal through portals because it's genuinely just more painful having to transport them via a boat

[frail cave]

Love the boat metal trips. It sucks but feels so good once its done

[frail cave]

how do you raise your ground to the same level?

[quasi grove]

yeah, i've done em a lot before xD they are satisfying but i dont think it's worth the pain

[quasi grove]

using a hoe you can level the ground

[frail cave]

oh so just hoe afterwards

[quasi grove]

oh you mean the moats around the base?

[frail cave]

i was wondering if there was a way to uniformly raise ground up with the hoe

[quasi grove]

yes you can raise the ground up using the hoe, to make the terrain flat like that though you need to use a pickaxe making sure to mine in a straight line or else you might dig too much out

you wanna be maybe a 2m wooden pole away from the wall you wanna make using terrain

[brittle jetty]

I just spent 30 minutes leading a 2* boar to my base and once we finally got there it turned around and ran away in pretty much a straight line and I lost it in the woods after chasing it for 5inutes unable to keep up with it. What the heck happened?

[quasi grove]

the most fun grind is probably silver on the mountains, i love chucking the carts down them LOL

[frail cave]

See i dont use carts, I use my body lmao

[frail cave]

pretty sure hostile creatures only follow you for some distance before turning the other way

[graceful lava]

hey so I wanted to know, can i safely update my game from the public test version of the game back to the normal now that the ashland is fully out, or would my current world not work

[frail cave]

Make a back up and give it a go,

have you explored much or? Because the new generation will be meh if you've already explored the ashlands biome pre update

[obtuse fjord]

how can i restor my backup which i made from steam?

[storm oxide]

Hello everyone.
I have a local server that I share with a friend (it's not a dedicated server). I experience frequent power outages here, and I would like to send him the files so he can host it on his computer. How can I do this? Thank you.

[tepid isle]

Thank you!!!

[lost tundra]

Do i need to remove extractors from an yggdrasyl root for it to start recharging?

[frail cave]

I'd say yes just from a logical guess point of view

[distant charm]

anyway to make monster despawn?

[pliant lodge]

yes, you do

[past compass]

Check the first pinned message of this channel regarding backups. Easiesist way is to follow the steps to make a local copy of the world you share. Then transfer the .db and .fwl files of that world to your friend who should then do a "restore" of the 2 files.

[subtle parrot]

Not really, but if you look at the top edge of where you're building up ground, it will raise higher than clicking directly on the ground and having to waste some more stone to get it higher with multiple raises.

You'll still have to go over the top of the earthen wall with the flatten mode and make sure you go around the outside edges and clean them up so mobs can't run up it

[midnight pivot]

is aslands in my world that i made befoe the update that was on may 14?

[subtle parrot]

Yes, as long as you haven't previously explored the place holder ashlands it should load no problem

[graceful lava]

i made a new world entirely in the public test for ashland, and we are at it in the test version

[frail cave]

I'd start fresh I reckon

[lilac coyote]

Why?

[subtle parrot]

The test version and live version should be the same now, so if you disable the play test you shouldn't have any issues

[midnight pivot]

okay

[storm oxide]

@past compass
Thanks👍

[hearty panther]

so in Ashlands, when the flametal ore pillar sink into the lava, can it re-emerge in another lava pool later? Or is it lost forever?

[marble roost]

lost forever just like a leviathan

[hearty panther]

Oh great! So out my rather large Ashland island with dozens of lava pools, not only I don't have any fortress but I won't be able to get more than 12 flametal ores out of the whole place? I guess having the flametal ore being excessively rare, in the middle of nearly insta-kill lava pool and with constant spawn of enemies wasn't hard enough?

[halcyon crag]

classic mistake, the boar has return to spawn behaviour, you should breed it where you found it (it probably went back to that place) and then transport the offspring to yr base or wherever, they won't have that behaviour

[marble roost]

Yes

[subtle parrot]

I could offer you the seed I've been using, it's quite good. If you'd like

[hearty panther]

And is it supposed to be "fun"? There is a fine line between challenging and frustrating, and having the most critical and rare resource of the ashland being a "limited time offer" affair is definitely stepping in the later. I guess I could sail on a different island, but I am not looking forward navigating the huge ass drakkar between tighly packed spires

[hearty panther]

Wouldn't say no, although I guess I would to rebuild everything from scratch?

I will have a look with the Valheim seed map thingy, so how unlucky I was

[brisk lily]

Wait, the flametal is limited time?

[subtle parrot]

WLQLXdEuki, but yes you would have to start over or bring your stuff from the other world.

[subtle parrot]

The pillars are, but you can also find it in fortress chests. But if you have no fortress either then it's kinda sad.

[brisk lily]

I'm sorry but I don't see how that's fun

Having to deal with 10 mobs traversing the lands on top of that every 4 minutes

[subtle parrot]

Seems like really bad rng or something went wrong loading it in his world

[marble roost]

A lot of people have complained abuot resource scarcity in ashlands. I personally think it's okayy for for solo play, but for multiplayer it's just brutal

I think the sinking mechanic is fine because it encourages you to plan out how to get the most flammetal and adds some risk, but I do agree there should be more pillars and fortresses available

Flammetal isn't even the most scarce resource 😭

[hearty panther]

Alright I looked at the map generator and it looks like I got unlucky with the island I landed on. No fortress and only one flametal ore tower. But the next island should have more lava and fortress. I'm just dreading to sail there. Having you make a huge boat to then force you to navigate between tighly packed spires isn't exactly fun either.

[subtle parrot]

True, the spires are pretty tight. But Good that you have more stuff than what was on your initial island

[hearty panther]

Having the flametal being limited time is completely unecessary IMO. I'd rather it being guarded by a morten or whatever, than sinking after you hit it twice with your pickaxe.

[marble roost]

Yea does sound like you got unlucky. Also I'd always aim for the bottom middle of the map, that tends to be where more ashland stuff is concentrated due to more landmass

You'll have to explore the majority of Ashlands if you want to get most the gear tho

[marble roost]

wait how is that different from now? (Other than the morgen)

[hearty panther]

because at least once you defeat the morten you can take all the time you want to mine it, like you would mine copper or silver.

[subtle parrot]

I have my world setting to 2x resources and found 240 flametal in the chests of a single fortress. (Not common). But on normal it would be only 120. Still quite a sum though.

[distant charm]

is iron armor worth?

[subtle parrot]

If you're playing tanky it can be

[distant charm]

what do u normally run against bonemass

[subtle parrot]

Iron mace, Iron armor, banded iron shield and 2 health 1 stamina food. Turnip stew, and whatever the 2 best health foods are.

Poison mead too ofc

[distant charm]

so iron armor is handy for it

[subtle parrot]

You should be able to parry block his attacks and stun him and hit him with the mace about 3-5 times. Don't stand in his cloud of poison even with resist.

[distant charm]

do u level it

the amor

[subtle parrot]

I level it up as much as i can

This is just how i play, others may play differently

[distant charm]

do u like the atghir?

[subtle parrot]

Not particularly, I typically use one handed weapons with a shield

[fringe sundial]

A lot of people do like it, but with the bonus to blunt damage against bonemass, most people go with mace.

[distant charm]

meant more in general

[fringe sundial]

In that case, most people love that weapon.

[fallow saddle]

so i have a world i have played alot on in valheim and in this new ashlands update ive tried to go to the biome but there is no land the hole bimoe is just water what to do?

[marble roost]

Can you show a screenshot of your map?

[fierce gale]

Guys, if we already took a peek into the Deep North on our main world, will we have to create a new world, or is there a command that restores the part of the map for future updates?

[safe dock]

Does the Ashlands catapult do any damage to charred fortresses?

I've send off one explosive payload and almost an entire stack of grauten payload, and it doesn't appear to be doing anything, regardless of where it hits. I managed to run up to the wall I was hitting, just to see a '0' damage number appear.

[buoyant peak]

#steam-bugs-discussion message

[haughty plume]

you need to go to toward the center, the edges of ashlands don’t have any land

[buoyant peak]

Even if I used it against normal stone walls. Fortress walls are still destructible

[timid mountain]

does the shield generator take bonemass spawning bone?

[tepid gale]

325 hrs in and for the first time without rage quitting I finally managed to survive the swamps long enough to get some iron. Now I dont know which one to choose. Banded Shield or Iron Buckler?

[haughty plume]

buckler always

[timid mountain]

always buckler

parry beats mindless blocking

[fallow saddle]

bro you dont know how much i love you for telling me that i thought i had to start a new world

[frail cave]

is there any way to prevent these from appearing?

[marble roost]

Go to the bottom of the map, not the side

[daring juniper]

A buddy of mine is trying to join our dedicated sever. He plays on Xbox we play on PC. If he's in the PTB is this possible?

[brittle jetty]

Do better spears get thrown faster/further than the flint one? Because honestly they feel so janky to aim and throw

[primal dove]

I rarely throw my spear these days.

I've thrown too many off of mountainsides 👀

Spear/shield is my jam tho

[brittle jetty]

So is that a no? 🥲

[marble roost]

No. Just damage increases

Spears are intended for close range throws

[brittle jetty]

Damn. I'm just trying to find a new weapon to main other than a knife, the spear seems to be the only other fast weapon

[primal dove]

I dig the spears

[marble roost]

Yea knives and spears are the only fast options early on. Both very good though

The spear throw is pretty good, just gotta get used to it. It tends to be overshadowed by how OP bows are tho

[primal dove]

Yeah, I just run bow for ranged

[haughty plume]

you need to diversify your damage types

running only pierce is a bad idea

[marble roost]

I’ll say if you do a no-bow run like me, you’re gonna be mighty glad to have a spear, especially in mountains

A mace or sword could be good. Although the attack speed feels bad

[brittle jetty]

I've done 3ish playthroughs up to plains/mistlands and have always done knife main, some bow and some flail for bonemass mainly

[primal dove]

I always bring an axe with me, too

[marble roost]

Knives are my fave

Well knives and flesh rippers

[opal obsidian]

Frostner or Porcupine

[haughty plume]

blunt is technically the best physical damage type

lots of early game mobs are weak to blunt

[brittle jetty]

I see people complain about knives online, but since I started playing I always used them for the no movespeed penalty, the faster levelling due to faster hits and also how you can kill/stagger most enemies before they even finish their attack animation

[marble roost]

I've been using some diverse weapons this time around. Using spears knives swords maces axes and fists fairly equally

[tender venture]

hey friends, im setting up a server, anyone have a few moments to answer mod questions?

[marble roost]

Should ask in #mods-discussion . They'll prob be able to help better

[main mulch]

You can use the pickaxe to send that patch of dirt down

[fringe sundial]

any bonefragments. skeletons and ashland drops (from "ask" bone piles)both work fine.

[small swift]

Hello, I have a question, is there a way to delete the huge steam cloud backup of valheim? Currently I can only turn off the steam cloud and backup manually between my computers.

[fringe sundial]

You can decrease the amount of saves steam does to the cloud. If you deleted all of the cloud backup, you would loose anything saved there.

let me see if I can find the slider....I think it is on the opening screen/in settings.

yep, it is in settings>gameplay>backup history. If you are limited on space, you can decrease this slider(though it is cloud storage, so it shouldn't affect how much storage your machine has). If you have more than one game that uses steam cloud save, this would be how to free up some space.

[subtle parrot]

Need to go further south than that, it's not a huge landmass anymore

[mystic knot]

I know that Ashlands just released, but do we have any info on what's next?
What's the next big thing?

[silent cove]

How/where do you make Basalt bombs? I know you need explosive powder but online says you get it from lava blob and those bomb sacks but I'm not getting any from them

[marble roost]

Deep North is the next (and last) big biome. Prob be a couple years

May be some small updates before then, a lil ocean update it pretty likely.

After Deep North comes out no further content is expected, but not 100% on that

[marble roost]

Hmm yea I'd wanna say it's like lava blob drops and askvin drops or something, but can't remember. It should be very early Ashlands resources

Think it's Prostituite powder or something you get from blobs

[silent cove]

@marble roost So where do you craft it, I haven't seen it anywhere I must just be overlooking it

[marble roost]

Workbench

[languid knoll]

is SSAO causing stuttering the most? O-o I can't find what setting is causing stuttering when im exploring.

[mystic knot]

This is very unlikely, is it not?
Do you have any sources?
I expect that with Deep North the game comes out of early access.

[marble roost]

Which part?

Pretty common knowledge in here devs have confirmed that Deep North is the last biome, and that the game will be launching once it comes out. A bit iffy on whether there's gonna be content after that or not, there's at least gonna be bug fixes

Ocean devs have considered updating but had to scrap it and I think they said they wanted to revisit it but not 100% on that

The "a couple years" is entirely me just guessing based on how long it's taken them to develop other biomes. They've said nothing about when Deep North is coming

[mystic knot]

I meant sources on whether or not Deep North will be the last content update.

[marble roost]

Ehh I hear mixed information about it. I know Smiffe has said that they just wanted to do bug fixes and such once the game launches, but another dev said they hope to continue updating the game after it comes out so idk

Could be some content updates, I don't expect them to be very big tho

[mystic knot]

Damn, that'd be very sad if true

I feel like there's still so much potential and things to explore

[jolly turret]

Does anyone know of an item ID list for Valheim?
All items even tree's and stones have them

not the ID's like Spawn goblin for a fuling, but their actual ID - I already found that rocks and basic tree's are 1, 2, and 3 respectively

[marble roost]

more content is always cool, but tbh I'm impressed with the content currently in game. I started right when mistlands came out, and that felt like a pretty complete game to me with all the content. Honestly once I hit plains I felt like that would be the end, but then got faced with another biome after that which turned out to be my favorite

[mystic knot]

I have almost 200h and still haven't even got to the last three bioms 😭

[lilac coyote]

That's fine. That's a good pace.

[lilac coyote]

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

[distant charm]

is that close enough for those fire dudes to spawn/die when i afk

[jolly turret]

Thanks man - not what I'm looking for though

[marble roost]

doubt it, but I'm not too experienced in surtling spawn range

well might be. Idk

[lilac coyote]

What did you want then?

[jolly turret]

Each item has an ID number - 1, 2, 3, etc
I'm looking for the sacraficial stone ID numbers so I can work on deleting them

[distant charm]

seeing at the sparkels, they spawn

need to melt 300 iron i cba cutting wood

[lilac coyote]

You know they're on that page, right?

[wintry tide]

Is it intentional for Ashvine to grow brutally slowly? Even after 3h ingame 1 of 3 reached 4m of 6m and the other two stuck at 2m. And no ashberry cluster growed since.

[tiny light]

Hey! My mouse scroll is broken. Is there another way to rotate buildings in the game? I couldn't find a way to change the scroll to keys in the keyboard and mouse settings. Can someone help me?

[nimble parcel]

in the off chance it's a logical issue, I just tested and found that shift-whel and ctrl-wheel allow rotate

[jolly turret]

I did not see them 👀

I'm looking for the ones that look like this

forcedelete radius ID

[hardy coyote]

is this a new feature of the update or is one of my mods doing this

that's my character name [steam name]

[floral solstice]

would you go full upgraded deer armor until u get to next troll armor or is it just waste of time

[primal dove]

I went troll armor

[marble roost]

I go naked until troll armor, but I also feel confident with combat and fighting trolls. You can make deer armor and upgrade if you want more protection early

[austere basin]

what is the askvin breeding limit?

like how many can be in one area before they stop laying eggs

[uncut mirage]

So there's no way to destroy the tower ashlands castles 😦

[forest moon]

Does anybody know if i reset my computer, will it delete my saves and worlds?

[true steeple]

Not if all your saves are on the cloud

[forest moon]

Phew, thank you sm 🫶

[uncut mirage]

you need to make sure cloud backup is on 😉

[gusty forge]

Good afternoon!

I'm trying to spawn in some armor in singleplayer, and even though I activated console through steam (and the modmanager), and used /devcommands ingame, I'm still unable to spawn anything in through commands - it gives an odd sort of unity error when I try - did I miss a step somewhere?

[dreamy hearth]

You can bring up the console, so that's not the issue.

[dreamy hearth]

Are you still having any mods on your machine that you forgot to disable or remove?

[marble roost]

should be able to with catapults and rams

[gusty forge]

Ah; are mods currently messing with commands? I do have some activated, and haven't been having any trouble with them, well, save for console commands just not working. ^^;

[dreamy hearth]

Whenever you see unity errors, that's usually the first culprit. Baring any messy updates or installations, or even manual changes you made to the files by accident.

Since you're singleplayer with the devcommands, you can turn off your mods for now and still use the console to spawn in what you need.

[gusty forge]

Aaaaaah, okay; that might explain the trouble then! Thanks a ton! ^_^ I shall try that!

[dreamy hearth]

Then afterwards, make sure you update all your mods before using them again.

I know ServerDevCommands can work for servers and whatnot, so at a minimum make sure that is up to date if you've been using it.

[pearl epoch]

Hello people does anyone know why when i try to connect to a friends game i get failed to connect the same happens to him when he tries to connect to my game we both bought the game today any help would be appreciated

[uncut mirage]

I had to build a bridge for the ram but it's getting harder catapult is hard to aim

But its still not destroyed. The rest is too high and it won't collapse 😦

[obsidian nymph]

how can I do setoworldmodifier portals normal/default?

[drowsy beacon]

hello, since the Ashlands patch, my room-mates and I can't get ANY maps to load. old maps new maps old chars new chars: it just sits on the screen that says Loading eternally. have tried running as admin but no luck. same on my room-mate's computer. Is there a fix? I don't really see it listed much and it's weird that it happens on 2 diff computers if so.

[keen scaffold]

whats the code ingame for charred warrior

[uncut mirage]

in the menu screen

[opaque sonnet]

whats wrong with the design of Grausten Roofs???
The corners are hot garbage, cant make anything line up

[late hawk]

you can't make corners

just inverted corners sadly

[severe bloom]

hi there

since the new update i kinda have this problem

[opaque sonnet]

Cant make circles either, its horrible lmao

[severe bloom]

why the land sunk ?
i'm having trouble parking my drakkar...

[late hawk]

the heightmap around ashlands and deep north has been changed

[haughty plume]

you’re in a longboat

[severe bloom]

yeah longboat then x)

(my game still says drakkar, for the new boat and for that "longboat")

[late hawk]

so pregenerated land has now ajusted to the new height and the some of the generated trees and stuff sink with it

[severe bloom]

how i fix this ?

[late hawk]

you can't

[dreamy hearth]

One method uses mods, but if that's a no go for you, then starting the map over is the only way.

[severe bloom]

remake of a whole run ?

[dreamy hearth]

Would you want to use something that can reset what's generated leaving your player structures alone? That's the mod method.

otherwise you're stuck with what you got on your save.

[severe bloom]

i can't have ashlands and a correct water level ?...

[dreamy hearth]

On your current map, not without doing something else to it.

[late hawk]

its not the water level its the land level

[dreamy hearth]

Everything seems to have gotten shifted globally.

Well, the stuff you haven't visited yet.

[haughty plume]

the ashlands are normal though it’s just the land that used to be around it

[marble roost]

Shouldn't be too high. Catapult can easily reach that if angled right, and using the castle as support it shouldn't be too bad getting a ram up there either?

[dreamy hearth]

Un-generated is normal, heh.
