[late hawk]

the ashlands are normal if you didnt already generate them

[uncut mirage]

maybe, its just a hassle and I don't want to break any other walls

[severe bloom]

yeah i got it
i'm not the only one with the issue
x)
i may generate a new world and speedrun everything then

or go like that

[dreamy hearth]

If you explored all the meadows for instance, it'll be the same. If only partial, you might notice some visual weirdness when you explore the remainder, and it gets more pronounced the further from center of world you are.

[severe bloom]

my screenshot's nearing ashlands

[dreamy hearth]

If you're considering that route, then open up a new world and transfer things from one to the other.

Keep your stuff at least, so you don't have to work from nothing.

[severe bloom]

when i noticed my ||longboat starting to burn|| i made a quick reverse and wanted to park xD

[severe bloom]

yeah

[dreamy hearth]

The new fire mechanic has caused it's share of problems. I'm surprised to not see any videos addressing this.

There are likely servers that still use internal campfires, only to have their wood structures burned down since the update.

Why the devs switched that fire mode on instead of giving us the choice....

[muted fulcrum]

i just started the ashlands, what does "rotten meat" do?

[haughty plume]

it only applies to the ashlands unless you turn on the option

[severe bloom]

big oof i upgraded my wood base to stone base before that x))

[dreamy hearth]

But I didn't which is the problem. It was switched on automatically at least for my older saves.

Thankfully I didn't save and ended up turning it off in World Modifiers, but it shouldn't have been toggled on since Ashlands on existing saves.

Now I'm considering how to keep the rain off a campfire without the shelter getting burned up. Will make starting out more painful before I can use stone for building material.

[marble roost]

oh big hassle for sure

[lilac coyote]

But forcedelete uses the ones I've mentioned. I've never seen the numbers before.

[uncut mirage]

Thats why I say it should collapse like normal buildings

[jolly turret]

I've tested with the numbers - it works on rocks, trees etc so far

[lilac coyote]

Where did you even get them from?

[obsidian nymph]

it is dedicated

[jolly turret]

I just tried it cause I wanted to see if it would work

But I'm honestly not sure if that would work for everything

[frail cave]

Guess I should have come here before I tried to see if breaking the surrounding ground destroyed ore nodes

[uncut mirage]

depends who hosted your server

[obsidian nymph]

me

[uncut mirage]

then its just in the normal menu screen

[obsidian nymph]

it is dedicated, I run it through cmd

[rose river]

where is the boss summon altar?

(queen)

[obsidian nymph]

tag it as spoiler at least

[uncut mirage]

world modifiers for seeds hosted on YOUR PC are in the normal game menu for that seed

[obsidian nymph]

what is normal game menu

[uncut mirage]

if the seed is host else where then the world modifiers will be on the hosted platform

[obsidian nymph]

ohhh, ok, ur right, I'm stupid, ty

[rustic salmon]

Any tips for taming Askvin? We caught two and fed them vineberries and they aren’t starting to tame

[uncut mirage]

I dug a hole and fed them smoke puffs

[severe bloom]

this is def not great xD

[uncut mirage]

I can't believe the new bows are still not as good as Spinesnap full upgraded 😦

[severe bloom]

i thought i could still try with it
but damm
this land level is bonkers

whole ashlands is under water

and i surf the mountains xD

[rustic salmon]

Not working for us

We’ve tried smoke puffs, ash berries, and fiddleheads

[uncut mirage]

gotta move away far enough so they chill out then you see hearts

[rustic salmon]

They chill out, but we don’t see hearts

Is there some reason why they wouldn’t eat if they are chilled out? I know Lox won’t eat too near a roof

[tepid gale]

Do you load back on your boat if you save and close the game while sailing?

[frail cave]

why can u shoot away your staff with catapult ? 😄

[frail cave]

if the boat stands still u will load it in , tested that today

[uncut mirage]

It worked straight away for me. Maybe you need to kill all mobs near by
Another good idea is to clear out a fortress and use that as a Askvin farm

[rustic salmon]

We’ve fortified a ruin and dug holes right outside of the ruin. We’ve spammed campfires to prevent spawns

[uncut mirage]

campfires can scare taming creatures too

[uncut yew]

i was playing in my world when i noticed the mob don't have ia they just stay in place and when i touch it it's start gliding until he was stop by something and also i can enter anymore in temples so if someone know what to do about that

[sharp ridge]

decided to test the difficulty sliders for the first time, is very hard combat supposed to make the enemies bigger?

[marble roost]

Yes

20% bigger and faster

[sharp ridge]

okay thank you, does it cause gameplay issues? like hitboxes. or I could imagine enemies get trapped like in a tower or crypt

[subtle parrot]

Not really from my experience up to mountains on vh

[marble roost]

Ehh i think some skellies at least rancid ones get stuck in burial chambers but that may be a thing on normal too.

Not really a problem no

What is a problem is enemies doing +100% damage so unless you’re running triple hp or have 100 block skill parrying is gonna be rough

[tepid gale]

Im struggle bussing at Iron so I dont want to waste 2 bars if I can help it. Anyone know the space difference between the regular chest and the reinforced chest?

[sharp ridge]

ya I've thought about the changes in block/parry. my next run through is going to be a bigger group it's looking like so decided to check out the harder options

thank you for your insight!

[marble roost]

I’ve completed the game on Vhard but I wouldn’t recommend. It’s not very balanced. Can’t parry a lot of mobs and get one shot by everything. Unless you’re just bow or atgeir cheesing it’s pretty rough

Hard feels pretty good balance wise. I sometimes miss a bit of challenge on hard but still it just feels better

[sharp ridge]

and hard would be 10% bigger and faster?

[last osprey]

you get the mats back when you deconstruct it so you can just check. It's 22 slots iirc for iron chests.

[tepid gale]

Oh yeah.. Youre the best

[marble roost]

I’ve found it can help a bit to devcommand high block skill from the get go on vhard

[worldly root]

Any tips for the insane mob rate on ashlands? We spent 5 hours fighting everything than exploring

[marble roost]

Get mobs to kill each other. They have a lot of friendly fire attacks

and then just aoe weapons. Staff of embers, atgeir, demolisher

[daring crane]

What Softsnail said but also learn when to run and when to fight. If you're trying to explore often times it's better to literally just run past what you can until you're getting closer to where you need to be before clearing out what's around you.

[worldly root]

How about flametal ores? They random or like set in place till you touch em

[marble roost]

Set up portal outposts along the way too so you don’t have to fight through enemies for an hour each time you go somewhere

[worldly root]

We did this for 5 hours and it was endless mobs every time we went out. Spawn rates just seem so much

[marble roost]

Be glad, they used to be WAY higher in beta 😅

[daring crane]

Yea if you basically try and fight everything along the way you'll essentially be making no progress

[marble roost]

Movement is key in Ashlands (and the rest of the game) some Askvin or fenris armor is great (and Askvin cape <333)

[daring crane]

Some areas definitely have higher spawn rates than others but the main point is at some point you have to literally just start ignoring mobs and running past them

[subtle parrot]

Gotta take out the spawners

[marble roost]

Charred at least are pretty slow. Some of the other mobs it can be helpful to take out

[worldly root]

We take em out, almost makes no difference since they spawn from lava ool

[subtle parrot]

I noticed a fair difference myself

[worldly root]

Its like when we get 3 askvin’s, valkyerie, morgen, archers 6 basic and 3 warriors

[marble roost]

Then just keep running or set up spawn protection along your path

[true steeple]

Friendly fire is the best weapon in these situations

[worldly root]

Embers w/ frost or just embers

[marble roost]

In that case for sure use the Valkyrie fire and morgen roll to take out majority of the enemies. Askvin lunge can be good for cleaning up the leftovers

[daring crane]

Taking out the spawners only does so much. Still a lot of spawn points around POI's

[subtle parrot]

That's what spawn protection is for, leave campfires in your wake

[daring crane]

In those situations where the mob rolls up I try and find a rock or high ground and let them tear each other up. Also spawn proofing along the way is major

[subtle parrot]

It's what i did

[daring crane]

New biomes and stuff like this highlight the importance of making sure you are rested, have good food, and don't get caught out at night lackin. It's one thing learning the new zone but if you're simply unprepared on top of that you're just making it harder on yourself and your crew

[worldly root]

Campefires will survive without breaking?? And how far about never knee about this method

[agile wind]

Hi, do u guys know why in-game fps is low? I only get around 60 and it is unstable. I have a Ryzen 9 5900HX, 3070 laptop with 32G memory. I don’t cap the fps at 60.

[subtle parrot]

Most of mine are still chillin

[last osprey]

This. If you're facing a huge group just focus on staying alive and dodging while they take each other out, then mop up the rest with your aoe weapon of choice.
Charred can generally be ignored until they start piling up since they're slow. Voltures have low health and are fast so you should kill them if you aggro any. Morgen, Asksvin and Valkyries should also be killed when you aggro them since they'll chase you all over the Ashlands otherwise.

Once you get a trollstav just run until you draw a decent group, dump a couple trolls on them and go on your way.

[daring crane]

They should be ok as long as they don't get hit by AoE

[subtle parrot]

I guess i should say I've been using exclusively melee in ashlands so far

[daring crane]

And i've been running pure mage essentially minus the occasional bop with Mistwalker. Running 2 eitr and 1 stam food

[last osprey]

mage, triple eitr. The only melee weapons i regularly carry is jotun bane and my blackmetal pickaxe.

[subtle parrot]

I'm loving the ||berserkirs||

[true steeple]

The only thing I don’t use melee for is breaking spawners and explosive rocks from a distance

[last osprey]

i agree they're better for melee, but they're worse for chopping trees. And lvl 4 jotun bane has more durability.

[daring crane]

I always have blackmetal axe, pick, and hoe on me. Melee is Mistwalker, rest is staves but not all of them

[subtle parrot]

I don't bother with the explosive rocks, get the same stuff from lava blobs. But i made a couple fang bows but just been using those for ||skuggs||

[daring crane]

I dont really have eitr issues with queen buff, lingering eitr mead, etc so i run a stam. Being more mobile is more important than casting a few more times IMO

[subtle parrot]

Fair

Hitting rocks even tranfers the ||chain lighting effect|| to nearby mobs lol

[last osprey]

I used that too for a while but switched to 3 eitr foods after trying it out. Triple eitr means most things die before you need to run. And i generally go with Eikthyr for mobility so the lack of stam food isn't really an issue.

[daring crane]

Triple eitr with Eikthyr is solid too, thats what I was doing at first

Bunch of different ways to play with mage, thats half of the cool factor about it

[last osprey]

the other half is oneshotting stuff with your lightning shotgun 😁

[daring crane]

Idk what I love more, blasting someone with the sawed off point blank or watching the new skele boys wreck house

[old bronze]

I love killing my friends by shooting logs with the shotgun :)

[worldly root]

Hiw do you plant vineberries or they only in ashlands biome growable

[true steeple]

Plant them in cultivated soil near a wall (1m away?). I think it works in meadows, black forest, plains and ashlands.

Maybe mistlands too

[last osprey]

Can confirm Mistlands works too

[marble roost]

important to note: You need vineberry SEEDS, not just vineberries. Seeds have a low chance of dropping when harvesting vineberries

[still solar]

Guys, any tips for countering invasions?
I'm suffering a lot from these surprise attacks :((

[subtle parrot]

One seed planted in the middle of a 2x2 wall 1m away from the wall, plantable in all biomes except mountain and swamps.

[subtle parrot]

The raids? Just in general? You could turn their occurrence rate down with the world modifiers. But I usually just run around in circles outside my base if i get raided, let the mobs chase me until the times up on the raid and I'll either kill them or hide back in my base and they'll wonder off and despawn.

[quasi mirage]

how do I plant the vine plants

[subtle parrot]

@quasi mirage

[latent mason]

wow, ive been growing them in the ashlands exclusively, this whole time

[last osprey]

you can build a terrain wall around your base with the hoe's raise ground feature or dig a moat with the pickaxe (or both). Both are completely impassable to most enemies that can't fly.

[quasi mirage]

oh my it was right up in chat haha ty

[quasi mirage]

what does the fire in your name mean?

[marble roost]

People with fire played the Ashlands Beta

Some people played the beta too and don't have fire, it was a choice if you wanted it

[quasi mirage]

oh fun

I should've made a copy of my solo world to playtest

has anyone else had overwhelming armies fight them from the ashlands

[true steeple]

I tested with commands, I still haven’t played through ashlands normally yet.

[quasi mirage]

anytime I mine or build I mean

[true steeple]

Friendly fire is very helpful when fighting large groups of enemies, unless they’re all charred which don’t have friendly fire.

[quasi mirage]

does modor work with the asksvin cape?

[keen scaffold]

aall the time

[last osprey]

groups of only charred are just an easy opportunity to level your elemental magic 😋

[quasi mirage]

how can you tell the difference is it just darker?

also is there a way to get teh ashen cloak?

[marble roost]

No :(

[quasi mirage]

DANG IT I was really hoping it would

they need to add that its a wind base cloak

[marble roost]

I agree, several people have suggested it too

[coral lintel]

died while mining flametal and now my gravestone is completely gone, anything I can do about this or?

[old bronze]

It's inside the lava leviathan, you need to either mine more to sink it or use commands

[coral lintel]

dread

[neon pumice]

What is sulfur used for

Nothing right

[subtle parrot]

Several things

[keen nacelle]

Do gems always give the same status effect for every weapon type they upgrade?

[marble roost]

Yes, same effect with same values

Send help plz

[solemn cedar]

Hi guys, how do you cope with hordes of enemies when capturing fortresses? I was instakilled a few times by being absolutely surrounded after breaking the fortress door, had to use cheats to fly and take a breather at least. Is it common to have so many skeletons spawn for a solo player? There are almost 20 of them on the screenshot and a few more were nearby, so approximately 30 enemies against one miserable viking

[neon pumice]

Like what

[true zodiac]

Is there a way to make the day cycle longer?

[marble roost]

mages do pretty well. Embers staff for AoE, ice staff for locking down certain enemies and obliterating them. I like to pair it with melee

If you could drag a morgen or valk over you could also have them kill the charred. They do large friendly fire attacks

[solemn cedar]

Thanks, will try

[neon pumice]

Has anyone used the blood diamond abitly yet

Is it any good

[marble roost]

I've used it a lot yea. Super fun, I really really enjoy the playstyle

Realistically though it's kinda trash. Only way to get good use of it is by being really risky running around at 2-3 hp foods and very low on health, but the boost you get isn't really worth all that compared to just a stragiht slightly weaker boost from lightning weapons or something. Hope it gets buffed

Although a blood crossbow can oneshot a valkyrie with the right setup on a sneak attack

[keen nacelle]

Taking Charred Fortresses is super easy if you just build stairs outside to get over the outer wall, then just use Trollstav twice inside the fortress

it feels broken actually, should get patched out probably

[marble roost]

So much work needs to be done on fortresses. They're boring af

Been a lot of good suggestions too that I don't think would take THAT much work

[keen nacelle]

I was expecting them to be much bigger actually

also I think it's too difficult to snipe mobs that are perched on top of the middle tower

[marble roost]

same. I was real disappointed first time I saw one, and was hoping that I just got a procedural generation that ended up being very small, but some fortresses would be 8x the size

[keen nacelle]

yup. Also, the sloped terrain inside is kind of strange. I wish it were flat so we could take them over as bases easier

As it stands, I don't see why the terrain would be sloped inside.

On the other hand, I do think it's cool to have to build a ||battering ram|| to get to the loot inside

[marble roost]

imo (these are all other peoples suggestions) these would be some nice simple changes:

1. Can't build near a fortress, same as stones of power or haldor. Would stop building stairs over the wall and stop you from getting unbreakable bases

2. Some forts spawn with a shield that blocks all projectiles. Would be forced to use Ram to approach (or launch yourself with catapult), and can't cheese it with ranged weapons

3. Some forts spawn with ground fortifications that make approaching with ram very difficult. Use a catapult!

4. Some forts spawn with askvin pens. Get ready to fight some askvin!

[wary charm]

Just started a server and have a quick question: Our players made some workbench upgrades but they're only counting for the person who built them. Is there no way to share the upgrades?

[marble roost]

It should count for everyone. Sounds very odd

[wary charm]

Ty. I'll keep messing with it.

[keen nacelle]

Yeah I do think a player structure inhibitor would solve most of the issues

[marble roost]

tbh if every fort just stopped you from building and had a shield (maybe let catapult projectiles through), I'd be a lot happier with forts. Not happy, but happier

[keen nacelle]

you could stop Trollstav cheese as well since it looks like they come in like a meteor from the sky. Make them count as projectiles blocked by the Charred Fortress shield\

[marble roost]

Yea I think those are already blocked by player shields. Think so at least

[keen nacelle]

What I was expecting was something more like the black castle from Hildir's quest in the plains

[marble roost]

I may have been a bit naive expecting the concept art, but I think I would have expected a little more under any circumstance

Anyways I mostly just want forts to be a challenge compared to the rest of the biome. Right now forts feel about the same difficulty. There's no real "challenge area" in Ashlands other than maybe the boss or something

[keen nacelle]

Ah, yeah fair. I avoided the concept art because I didn't want spoilers, but I did end up hearing about them through...Twitter, I think? anyway.

I like the top right concept! But that art expects the fortress and surroundings to be more blue than the Ashlands currently look

[keen nacelle]

Yup

Also is it just me, or do Dvergers get owned by pretty much everything in the Ashlands? It's not like the Mistlands where they can often hold their own

[marble roost]

Yea, think they intentionally didn't give ashlands mages because they didn't want the dvergr to fight every battle for us

Also ice mages are nuts, if you found a starred ice mage in ashlands you could so take advantage of that

[keen nacelle]

Haha that would be pretty awesome

I dunno if it would be super game breaking, though. The Ashlands feels so hostile (which, I know, they were going for) already. I think having a rare respite you could retreat to safely would feel pretty nice

It would increase the contrast, and create moments with your friends where you're sprinting from a massive group of creatures, only to happen upon a Dverger base and have the Dvergers run out and save your asses

Right now it's more like "how did these guys even set up this base here? They died 2 sec after I arrived, and the base is half destroyed"

[buoyant peak]

I feel like half of these are mine

[marble roost]

two middle ones are I think

[buoyant peak]

#JusticeForFortresses ✊😔

[granite aspen]

getting back into the game again, but now when i build every piece does not seem to be placing where it shows its going to and instead edges off a bit to one side or the other when placed, has there been any reports on this?

[marble roost]

does playing around with clicking "e" help?

[granite aspen]

sadly it does not, i have attempted all of the different "Snapping" options, im debating relaunching with valkan to see if that helps

i tried hosting server then doing a solo server, but no luck

[marble roost]

weird. I've never heard of any issues with it

[opal obsidian]

I’m at Yagluths spawn point right now, and I’ve put on the 5 totems but nothing is happening, it’s not giving me the option to even spawn him, am I being dumb or? What do I do?

[tawny parcel]

could someone confirm for me, resistances are always best-overwrites-worse yeah

so if i have the fenris set effect alongside the feather cape, i should be fire resistant overall?

[granite aspen]

this is building problem i am having

[subtle parrot]

A mace, for sure i know of one other thing but i can't remember what it is right now, and maybe something else but 2 things for sure.

[marble roost]

Seems to be the general trend but I can’t guarantee it’s always

I can say though that fenris overrides feather yea

[granite aspen]

its driving me crazy 🙂

[tawny parcel]

thanks, appreicate the confirmation!

@granite aspen do you have a snapping mode aside from auto set/are you holding shift at any point? looks very strange though

[granite aspen]

no im not holding shift, and i have tried every single snapping method

[subtle parrot]

Use the hoe

[granite aspen]

I am also building at a second floor level and the walls do not line up and cause the entire building to be off

using the ground floor as anaexample here

I have tried buliding using guiding posts, and using only the floor/walls to try and line up but with no luck

[coral lintel]

anyone have recommendations for mining flametal, it's just such a shit feeling. If the obelisks broken platforming isn't what kills me some enemy will launch me off. feels like there's a fundamental idea that I'm getting wrong, should I build something around it?

[granite aspen]

I am going to attempt to use vulkan and see if that fixes it, 'edited: it did not fix it'

well i hope there are some findings on it in the future, was looking forward to getting back into it, enjoy all! ill be on the look out

[lavish flame]

@quick lake no u cant

[left stag]

So you just have to use 10x flametal everytime you find a fortress to break walls? You can't destroy your siege weapons??

Such a limited amount of flametal.. and if youre playing with friends, this gonna be rough lmao

[quick lake]

ok

[subtle parrot]

||Well, you need flametal to build something that will work unless it's close enough to the edge of the lava to do it with other materials. But I found it easier to start closer to the bottom, and keep basalt bombs handy. It's always gonna be a pain though. I got the bulk of my flametal from forts, though. Without breaching. I built some stairs and fought from the inside out. I died a lot lol but it was worth it to not have to deal with lava pillars.||

[safe dock]

Is there a way to tackle charred fortresses solo?

The warlocks do stupid damage, and there are so many enemies that I can't remain in the fight, but at the same time I can't kite anything without calling the attention of a nearby Morgen, Valkyrie and a couple of Askvin.

I honestly feel like I'm being punished for attempting to play it solo :/

[subtle parrot]

||snipe the skuggs, climb the walls, kill the spawners, and go for the warlocks throats. The rest can wait.||

[safe dock]

Does that mean I'm screwed if I already used a battering ram?

[fringe sundial]

what I did in PTB was, pick off the turrets/ballistas with crossbow and anyone on top of middle tower, then ramed the wall or gates and expected to die once per spawner inside. i played meele

[subtle parrot]

Hmm idk i never used one tbh 😅

[safe dock]

Really? How did you get inside, then? Nothing else seems to damage the doors

[fringe sundial]

cheese the fortress to get around using the ram'.

[subtle parrot]

I went over the walls

Natural terrain or built ladders real quick

[fringe sundial]

there is a small hold in the top of the mid tower you can, sometimes, shimmy through.

or pickaxe under*

[true zodiac]

Is there terrain you can't mine? I'm trying to level the area around my base in the meadows but there's some areas that won't budge.

[safe dock]

Okay. This is good advice for the next fortress, for sure.

The door is open on this one. I've managed to kill the spawners, but can't stay in the fray for more than a minute. 4 dead raiser summons don't even help 🤣

[fringe sundial]

there is a max/min level but otherwise, with the right tools any terrain can be altered.

[subtle parrot]

It's the 'bedrock'. You can only build up or dig down 8m

[neon pumice]

Build the wall smasher

[true zodiac]

What do you mean bed rock?

[steep grotto]

just finishing up mistlands, whats the best solo weapon going into ashlands, no big spoilers on ash please. thanks!

[subtle parrot]

Like.. minecraft if you ever played it

[fringe sundial]

its a minecraft term for "undestroyable" land/terrain

[safe dock]

A second player

[steep grotto]

😢

[subtle parrot]

Mistwalker

[fringe sundial]

lots of people like mage stuff

[subtle parrot]

Or that

[steep grotto]

2h weapons not really worth it?

[safe dock]

Good damage, but that weakened block hurts like hell

[granite aspen]

I just reset my Building Keybinds and it fixed the bug

[marble roost]

some are good. Atgeir is imo the best melee weapon in the game, which is why I don't use it bc it turns things into easy mode

[lavish flame]

Is this really fair

[safe dock]

Nope. It's our punishment for attempting to play solo

[fringe sundial]

for starters, you have almost no stamina....second issue, you literilly ran though a bird nest that usually spawns like 3-6 birds

[lavish flame]

I had no other choice

[marble roost]

a few birds that can be one or two shot? Pretty fair yea. And the morg and askvin only showed up once you started running around and exploring more instead of dealing with the birds

[safe dock]

Yeah, the stamina thing can't really be helped if you want to use blood magic

[marble roost]

Unless askvin/morg were already chasing you, but in that case shoulda dealt with those before running on

[fringe sundial]

I usually try to keep over 120 stamina minimum as a meele. 150+ if I know I am getting into a scuffle.

[lavish flame]

Still running

[lavish flame]

I didn't mean to runingo it and 2 what voice do I got beside jupinto that lava lack

[fringe sundial]

That would depend on how you are trying to play. Are you the sneaky type that likes to get crits with backstabbing? Are you a range type with bow/cross bow/magic? Or are you melee? They all play differently and have different tactics for engaging an enemy or group.

[lavish flame]

I'm trying to get the ore I need

Maybe I should just stop playing

[fringe sundial]

It's a difficult game by default. I have to "give it a rest" every so often so I don't get tired of dying so often.

[safe dock]

The ashlands is a big jump, mind. Every area is as packed as a fuling village

[fringe sundial]

ya, spawn rates/area of agro can get daunting in the ashlands for sure

[safe dock]

With all the projectlies that've killed me from off-screen, I feel like I'm playing ninja gaiden 2 again 😂

[fringe sundial]

it reminds me of deathsketo's prior to ashlands

[left stag]

Is it possible to put campfires everywhere to reduce spawn rates?

[fringe sundial]

short answer is yes.

skeeters could spot you a good 50m out into the ocean back then....it was nuts when you would proc like 3 at once because of that.

[lavish flame]

I can forgive all that but why do the ashlands guys need to camp your stuff?

Is that really needed

[fringe sundial]

😋 because there ash(holes)? not really sure but I do see that on occasion. it is a pain to be sure. trying to recover your body only to see them camping out.

[slim zodiac]

any one else having severe performance issues when in the ashlands?

me and my friends are having a problem where it stutters a lot, ive tried lowering and changing my settings but there have been no improvements

[fringe sundial]

if you havn't tried posting here yet, I would recommend it: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

most people there use servers and would have a better idea.

[eager spire]

Did Irongate redirect local file folder locations in any recent updates?

[ember prawn]

anybody else experiencing amd graphics driver crashes when running valheim with vulkan? game closes too ofc. no other game caused this yet. 7800x3d+6900xt
no issues with vulkan on my old pc with intel+nvidia.

[eager spire]

Trying to help a friend with lost local files. He cannot seem to locate. It is as if they just disapeared

[marble roost]

My first time. Wish me luck 🫡

Also ngl expected it to be taller

[ember prawn]

they're still in C:\Users\Danbot\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim for me. re-installed valheim a few days ago.

did he check ingame if those files were uploaded to the cloud?

[fringe sundial]

just be prepared to deal with a ton of cackling(laughing) fulings.

[marble roost]

got my trusty flesh rippers ready to... uh... rip their flesh!

[ember prawn]

is it just me or do fulings sound like beavis and butthead?

[fringe sundial]

flesh for the flesh gods!

[nimble parcel]

There's an entrace on the side midway, but you can make ladders all the way up to the top, enter from there.

[eager spire]

Will check with him now. Thanks mate. 😊

[ember prawn]

@eager spire good luck o7

if you move those to local they should be inside the LocalLow/IronGate folder under "worlds_local" or "characters_local" or something

[eager spire]

@ember prawn

[nimble parcel]

4x villas in plains with no totems :/

[cyan rampart]

anyone able to help me and my buddy to fight the queen?

[south grove]

you guys think this is enough iron?

[marble roost]

for the foreseeable future, very much so

[fringe sundial]

might wana try asking around here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[cyan rampart]

appreciate

[left stag]

Anyone's valhost server just go down?

Uhh, is there a channel for valheim rescues like on reddit? We just got fucked over on our dedicated server.. Just got to mistlands, built a portal and the server crashed. Our boat and portal are gone..

[marble roost]

yup! https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

[left stag]

we decided to just use devcommands on a solo server and get our shit back, but thank you!

[covert breach]

does anyone know if dodge counters / dodge power counters are still usable? Cantn seem to get the timing right now\

[ornate solar]

what am i doing wrong lmfaoo dude im new please be patient 🙏

[keen nacelle]

Are you referring to rolls? If so, yeah you can still dodgeroll

[fringe sundial]

most people build the fire closer/ inside. if you build inside, you will need a chimney to vent the smoke.

[left stag]

Apparently the server rolled all the way back and our Yagluth trophy isnt there 😦 Any clue if there are dev commands to spawn the trophy and his item drops in?

[keen nacelle]

yeah think about a real world fire - the fire outside the home wouldn't help warm you

[left stag]

We killed him right before we went to mistlands

[keen nacelle]

There are - you can spawn every item in the game

[covert breach]

nah im referring to the combo system. Like extended pri combo or power combos. There was one i used to execute which is a dodge counter/ dodge power counter. It allows you to dodge roll and pri to secondary attack at the same time and it was honestly busted af. But now i cant get the timing down. Just wondering if they patched it out

[ornate solar]

ah.. i see, alright thank you so much

[keen nacelle]

spawn TrophyGoblinKing
spawn YagluthDrop 3

[left stag]

Youre the best, thank you so much ❤️

[keen nacelle]

I know there is a specific combo with the Krom (a 2-handed sword) that made the front page on /r/Valheim a couple weeks ago

[keen nacelle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1bvozh7/thats_why_i_love_krom/

wait no

[covert breach]

nah the dodge counter could be applied to one handed swords and knives

[keen nacelle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/13mbq9z/valheim_extended_combos_new_combo_starters_plus/

[covert breach]

ye ik this vid. Just wondering if they patched anything cause most of the dodge combo tech vids were from a year back

ill continue testing i guess, Thanks for the help tho

https://youtu.be/cK-zSaV9yIk?si=9Rz21VtDY37bieqS

^combo i was referring to

[shrewd sun]

note, if you have a hammer at your hip (not in hand), a tick grapples you, and you try to dodge, the block button will equip your hammer, rather than raising your hands to dodge

[keen nacelle]

The roll into knives secondary looks pretty handy

[torn wigeon]

did they take out frostner? can’t updgrade to find the recipe for it anymore

[covert breach]

ye the dodge counter can be extended by adding seconday attack into the mix. You basically do 2.5x-3x dmg hits from both weapons while completely invulnerable from the roll

[keen nacelle]

This strat would be incredibly effective against Charred Warriors in the Ashlands

[covert breach]

it was p monstrous in pvp as well since there wastn really a counter and with high sword/knife skill you could stun people

[keen nacelle]

So what is the general technique? Start sword secondary, then spam dodge roll to cancel the secondary sword atk animation and receive the iframes from the dodge?

[covert breach]

nah its literally to tap w then hold block, space, pri (+ secondary for extended power combo) all at the same time

heres a vid of the exploit against a mistlands soldier

https://youtu.be/cX0hbkcVVZ4?si=i9UNuFQjMnKFS349

input instructions in the description

[keen nacelle]

sounds difficult to execute

[covert breach]

yep but once you have the timing down its easily replicable. Easier combos to begin with are extended. power and jump extended/power combos.

each have their own usage and optimal dps

dodge counters are truly finnicky as fuck

holding down block to execute some of the combos is easier btw. Also try it on something you can actually hit cause the timing is slightly different when hitting something vs when just testing in the air

[keen nacelle]

I'm testing it rn. I can animation cancel, but it's just canceling a dodge roll/doesn't look like it's giving me anything

[covert breach]

weird thing is that all the other combo variants are working correctly

lemme dig through the patch notes

[keen nacelle]

weird thing is it keeps having me slash behind myself

Anyway I agree with you man, it looks like either the combos have been patched out, or they're more difficult to execute

[covert breach]

guess one way to truly know is to use autohotkey. If a frame perfect input doesnt work then it must have been patched

[cyan tendon]

bruh this is my starting area's black forest

not sure where to build my base, thinking in the area next to the trader

sucks that it's so long and narrow

[finite sorrel]

Need to be unlocked by an item from the trader if that’s what you mean?

[hollow fossil]

Is there a way to transfer a world from 1 pc to another? My friends RAM is 8 GB and the server is very laggy

[atomic dock]

anyone have a good way to perfectly space crops out in 1mx1m boxes? going crazy trying to align this freehand

heard of the FarmGrid mod but seems like it's broken in Ashlands and also probably not compatible with a vanilla server

[keen nacelle]

Sure thing, navigate to where the worlds are stored on your local machine, copy the worlds, and paste them on your desired target machine

[hollow fossil]

Do you know if the world will receive new updates with the transfer?

[atomic dock]

long as no one has been there, new content will generate

[sterile nest]

hello, i have a question: does a zone need to be active for 30 min for chicken eggs to hatch ? or does the game check if its been 30 min since the eggs have been placed once the zone becomes active again ?

[full crater]

i saw an infographic somewhere that had most of the items and whether they'd prevent spawning etc, it might have been in the pins somewhere here? anyway does anyone have that

[quiet meteor]

I want to ask, do we have to open a new seed or in the old saved seed we can also access the latest ashland update.?

[lost tundra]

Build it in between trader mountain and plains

I have same type of layout and even if u build like just 20m to plains, plains mobs almost never visit

[full crater]

any unexplored ashlands area on an old seed should work correctly

[lost tundra]

...but lots of land close to north or south will drown leaving weird buggy floating rocks

[uncut mirage]

1. In Valhiem Worlds menu go to manage saves and make a local copy of the seed you want to transfer
2. In C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds copy your worldname.db and worldname.fwl to external storage

[uncut mirage]

What do you mean? Active Zone? Chicken eggs will hatch near fires all at once.

[tepid mortar]

There a way to measure a long distance in m?

[sour lynx]

Anyone got ideas on how to fix valheim crashing every time I load a cloud game save?

[thorn spire]

Chickens will hatch from eggs even if you’re not in the area. The game has to be running though; it’s in-game time, not IRL

[long spire]

Can i plant pine trees in meadows?

[pliant lodge]

yes, you can

[faint topaz]

yep

[buoyant peak]

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

[minor grove]

Hia! What is the difference between block power and block armor on a weapon?

[loud linden]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Blocking_(Skill)

[marble roost]

Block armor is how much damage you block, block power is how far enemy is knocked back when you block them (block power doesn't really matter, block armor is very important)

[minor grove]

Doesn't mention block power

[minor grove]

I see! Thanks 🙂

[loud linden]

The wiki just calls it block force

[minor grove]

That on the other hand is very useful information!

[loud linden]

The game calls it block force too, to be fair.

[minor grove]

So, I got four stats on two different weapons: block power, parry force, block armor and block force

As you say, block armor and block force is the same . But this wep got 12 block armor and 20 block force

[loud linden]

Which weapon are you looking at and what resource are you using to view their stats?

[minor grove]

Bone War Pike
It's from, I think warfare (1.7.1). I'm also using Betterui (2.5.6) and is viewing the stats ingame

[loud linden]

Mod weapons? Ask in the Mods channel then.

They don't exist in the base game

[minor grove]

Okay, thanks. Ill consider that 🙂

[finite jungle]

Hey, game not works

Can't connect to word/server and dedicated server created by tool

[subtle parrot]

Is it not loading when you go to enter a world? Have you played it recently after the update or is this just coming back from playing before the ashlands update?

[edgy spade]

hey guys, what food did u take sailing to ashlands ? and what gear ?

[subtle parrot]

The best stuff the mistlands had to offer and a lot of supplies

[subtle parrot]

And make sure to have some backup gear sets ready too

[edgy spade]

wat re thooose ?

[edgy spade]

o shid, its that hard fr ?

[subtle parrot]

It is tough

[subtle parrot]

Depends on your playstyle, the mage set or the carapace set and whatever weapons you're comfortable with

[edgy spade]

what foods tho ?

[subtle parrot]

Some folks do hybrid mage builds. Ummmm foods idr exactly but misthare supreme and the other good health foods for melee, or the best stamina/eitr foods if you're going mage or hybrid mage

[drifting mantle]

Morning all, whenever I connect to a friends server, I am able to play for about 5 minutes but then I end up disconnecting and I completely lose internet for my entire network. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone know a fix? Thank you

[uncut mirage]

You lose your network connection? Might be you AV is interfering. Trying disabling it

I think the bleeding sword is broken, sometimes is does like 10% dmg

[drifting mantle]

My entire network goes down, my pc, gf's pc, wifi on our phones etc

[formal bridge]

How can I increase the display time of a player's corpse? for very long periods

[loud linden]

To what end?

[formal bridge]

We are fighting in a pvp arena and would like the corpses to remain the entire time

[loud linden]

Death results in a tombstone. If you want anything else, it'll require a mod. Ask in #mods-discussion

[buoyant dock]

Hey, did you manage to resolve this? My partner is having the same issue. I run Windows, and I'm able to connect to the server without problems. My partner runs Linux and hasn't been able to resolve the "failed to connect" error yet

[fringe sundial]

I have a VPN that can shut off internet to my home if it detects huge spikes in traffic. It is aparently a security thing. Also, sometimes the host has connection issues and I have to change the host (ie: Denver to Austin or New York). Your ISP could easily do something similar.
If you are on wifi, try a eithernet(cabled) connection and see if that helps.

[midnight osprey]

is there a command in the console to remove all the map pins?

[fringe sundial]

I haven't head of any to remove pins. I have seen a devcommand to remove the map entirely. People use that for a extra challenge.

[formal bridge]

talking about the player's ragdoll

[loud linden]

I know what you want. The game doesn't mark player deaths with a corpse, it's marked with the tombstone.

[fringe sundial]

That definitely sounds like you would need a mod. Closest thing would be the tombstone. You can make them semi permanent by leaving 1 item in inventory of the stone'. That way you can have more than one stone' on the map (if things haven't changed since the old days).

[formal bridge]

the player's ragdoll
not corpse

[tepid isle]

My bonemass is super far away, almost at the very bottom of the map. Is there a way to find a closer one?

[loud linden]

Visit Sunken Crypts in other swamps. (Edit: If Bonemass is "super far away" you might be close to the border between two Bonemass markers). I'd try travelling the the direction away from the line that the discovered Bonemass/Vesvigir makes (hopefully that makes sense)).

[safe gust]

How do i copy a world, for me to send it to another person

[tepid isle]

Thank you!!

[fringe sundial]

All bosses have more than one spawn point. The finder stones will eventually show another location if you keep finding new ones. Alternatively, the "valheim map" online allows you to find most things, so long as you know your world seed.

[severe kite]

Hey guys, some mods made us lose ores on our server, how to spawn them back using commands ?

[formal bridge]

spawn BlackMetalScrap ()

[frail cave]

is it possible to fight another queen in a single world?

[fringe sundial]

If you just want the world itself, the world seed would work. If you want everything you built and destroyed to show up, that's another matter.

[severe kite]

and instead of () I'd put how many ?

[loud linden]

Pretty sure there are five Queen locations per map.

[safe gust]

The uh second one, is there a way?

[formal bridge]

write as much as you want back

[frail cave]

Oki, Thanks a ton

[tepid isle]

I'm sooo tempted to look at the map online

[fringe sundial]

I believe you may have to send files like your entire appdata file folder in the valheim game folder but I am not 100% sure.

[tepid isle]

It is fun to explore the world and not know what is around the corner but I wish the bosses weren't so far away

That's probably my #1 gripe with the game actually

[safe gust]

Hmmm i see, thaankkss!

[fringe sundial]

There are map seeds that have bosses clustered close together. Some that have the majority on a single stretch of land, so you only need to set sail once or twice.

[tepid isle]

Is there a way to generate a seed with bosses close but not see the actual map?

[fringe sundial]

I believe the online map allows for the world to look unexplored...let me get on my PC and double check.

[severe kite]

spawn is not valid in the current context

[tepid isle]

No need to go out of your way, I can check. I have a link somewhere to it

[fringe sundial]

It should be a pinned message

[tepid isle]

This is the one I have saved - https://valheim-map.world/

[fringe sundial]

Yep

[tepid isle]

Oh sweet I can just turn fog on

[fringe sundial]

under visible terrain, yep

[tepid isle]

I kinda like my world, it has a neat river but hmm

and wow there are a lot more boss spawns than I realized

[fringe sundial]

what are you trying to spawn?

[tepid isle]

Oh I can just use my seed and keep fog on!!

[severe kite]

was trying /spawn TinOre 80 but it's fine now, used a command to enable devtools before spawning and it works

[fringe sundial]

ok

[fringe sundial]

yep 2.0

[broken flicker]

how i can fix this?

[fringe sundial]

some context would help with trying to find a solution.

[tepid isle]

Do we always spawn at 0,0?

[fringe sundial]

correct

[tepid isle]

Thank you so much for all of your help!!!

[fringe sundial]

np.

[broken flicker]

When I play after 30 minutes a graphical bug appears

[agile kettle]

cant load any worlds without my worlds crashing before I can even get into them? happend after the ashlands update

[fringe sundial]

is it permanently on your screen?

[fringe sundial]

Do you get an error message asking if you want to close the application?

[broken flicker]

Yes, a green filter appears

[tepid isle]

There is a super close bonemass to my main base!! Thank you again!!

[fringe sundial]

oh wow....are you on PC or xbox?

[broken flicker]

pc

[loud linden]

Is your monitor from the 80s?

[fringe sundial]

have you tried updating your graphics card reciently with new drivers?

[broken flicker]

240 hz from 80?

[loud linden]

I'm trolling. Don't mind me.

[broken flicker]

I'm updating now, I don't think it's related to the drivers

[fringe sundial]

if that doesn't help, you could try in the other help sections: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550076216573962

[loud linden]

Seriously though. have you swapped out the data cable (HDMI, DVI, whatever)?

[broken flicker]

No, it's not the cables

[loud linden]

Oh yeh... I just noticed your food HUD.

[broken flicker]

The graphical bug occurs specifically in Valheim, in other games everything is fine

[fringe sundial]

only other thing I can think of is verifying the game files "integrity". for steam you would right click the game> properties>installed files>"verify integrety of game files.

[drifting mantle]

Yeah I think it may have to do w/ my ISP's IoT Protection, I might turn that off- it seems that it's VERY aggressive. Same thing happens to my gf's games when connecting to dedicated servers or downloading mods.

[crude rapids]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but did valheim's world save file location / name get updated with Ashlands or something? I don't seem to have the new world I created with ashlands in my 'worlds' folder, and the 'worlds_local' has three files named 'forestmasktexcache' 'heighttexcache' and 'maptexcache'.

[subtle parrot]

Just select them in the map menu to make them not visible

[rigid oar]

is there a way to export all item ids from the game or a way to view an id in game by selecting it?

[severe bloom]

what is this ?...

[wise nacelle]

You're lucky! Don't chop it down. 🙂 It's a maypole, which provides 1 comfort point. You can place them yourself at certain times of year, but other than that, you have to find one in the wild and build a camp near it to benefit.

[severe bloom]

xD
but
what does it mean

i found it near an abandoned village

[wise nacelle]

(Sorry, I edited the post instead of making a new one...see above.)

[severe bloom]

ahh
i see

how big us the radius of comfort ?

[wise nacelle]

Fairly wide, if I recall correctly. Probably comparable to other comfort items like hearths and beds.

[severe bloom]

ok

9 floortiles then

[subtle parrot]

I think either 10 or 20m radius

[desert depot]

soooo i think i just dropped out of the boat and under the world...entered ashlands then fell through the boat and started zooming along the floor

[wise nacelle]

Oh dear. :}

[desert depot]

it was the new boat and it just sunk under the waves and i fell out under it while steering

[formal bridge]

devcommands; spawn

[idle pike]

i can't start a game, it never load, what can i do?

[true steeple]

If it stops responding you just need to wait

[idle pike]

but it take really long

[true steeple]

It only happens once per world

[wise nacelle]

It took me 10-15 minutes for a game to load after I first started up the Ashlands version. But it gets better thereafter.

[true steeple]

Or once per world until the next big update, at least

[idle pike]

oh okay

[wise nacelle]

So, my Valheim companions and I have an ongoing problem...we use a hosted server, and it usually works great. Late in a playthrough though, we start getting annoyingly frequent server stoppages/crashes, sometimes when we're in-game and sometimes when no one is in-game. Does anyone know what, if anything, about a later-stage game contributes to server instability? Explored territory? Instance count? Terrain modifications? Lighting fixtures? This has been consistent over the last few major updates.

[idle pike]

and what is "lunch with vulcan" when i start the game?

[uncut mirage]

I am doing ashvines wrong? Do they grow better in Ashlands? is that why they don't produce much at my castle in the plains?

[subtle parrot]

Something to do with graphics

[idle pike]

ok

sry I ask a lot of question but all the new recipes are from the Ashland drop ?

[tawny violet]

Hi I accidentally got something on screen and I don't know how to get rid of it pls help it's in the way

[idle pike]

do i need to start a new world to get the ashlands?

[true steeple]

No, unless you've explored it all

[idle pike]

okay

[true steeple]

I think it's f2 but I play with a controller so that could be wrong.

[tawny violet]

Thank you it was that button

[naive mason]

Hello, does anyone know why this isn't working ? I've never had problem since now, I have coal but this dosn't want to work, sometime it bright but stop 10s afffter

[true steeple]

There is smoke over it. You don't need a roof over smelters and kilns

[naive mason]

Ohhhh, this make so much sense now

tysm

[uncut mirage]

you can build a chimney for it and have it under a roof 🙂

[sand nest]

why I cant get rid of this dirt in my house ? :((

[true steeple]

You are using pathen, not level ground. If that still doesn't work, kill the first boss to craft a pickaxe.

[sand nest]

thanks! (didnt work with level ground either)

[uncut mirage]

pickaxe then level

[boreal ridge]

Hi!
Sorry, I'm new here. I joined because google couldn't help me.
I'm trying to get into ashland.... but all i can find is the pointy rocks... Is there somethin wrong or am i being stupid?

[uncut mirage]

keep sailing

[boreal ridge]

Oh, okay, thank you!

I was getting nervous becaus i accidentally stepped on to shore of ashland a while back. Was afraid i nroke the generetion of the new biome

[marble roost]

By doing that at most you’ll break that tiny patch you discovered. Anything on the map that’s still undiscovered (foggy) will update just fine

[boreal ridge]

Yes, than you ❤️ I found it! and died hahahah

[crude oak]

Has anyone found out any value to upgrading the ||trollstav||? We've done a side by side comparison of an unupgraded and upgraded one and found them exactly the same. ||(Same number of spawns, same damage, same health, etc)||

[marble roost]

Don’t think it does anything but durability, quite weird and sad

[keen vine]

I walked very far to see nothing

[faint rock]

Hello! I have the same problem only with Smouldering Tombs! There is a mark on the map, but there is no Smouldering Tombs...

[keen vine]

and what does that mean?

[faint rock]

most likely some kind of bug. my world was generated after the merchant update, but before the Ashlands.

[keen vine]

I generated this terrain in the beta

but the world was created before that

[limber panther]

how does one fix this ?

[keen vine]

is hildir's quest uncompletable now?

[faint rock]

use mods?

[limber panther]

i am yea

its just the ice biom

[faint rock]

Only the developers can say this...

[faint rock]

Quirks of procedural generation 🙂

Hello comrades developers! in search of Smouldering Tombs, I went around all 3 points on the map, but did not find this miniboss’s lair there. We searched the surrounding area and found nothing other than the burial chambers!

Due to the time difference, I will read the answer only in the morning. Thank you.

[slow crane]

not sure if this has been asked, but it seems like the spawn rate of grapes is very low when growing them in my home base. I have it set up on a 3 high ashwood decorative wall, as well as a tall stone wall. I get about 1/2 grapes every few in game days. Am i doing something wrong or do they just not grow a lot

[marble roost]

@keen vine @faint rock yea Ashland update altered terrains around Ashlands and deep north which moved some boss spawns, traders, dungeons, etc. reinteracting with Hildrs table SHOULD give you the update markers I think

@limber panther can’t fix it. Looks pretty cool though, doesn’t it? Well maybe you can fix it with the Upgrade World mod

[limber panther]

oh oke well as long as its not everywhere and at the new biom its whatever i guess, yea it does look very interesting haha

thx for the info

[marble roost]

Yea new update basically added extra water around Ashlands/deep north, so it deleted the biomes that were already there. It forgot to delete the big rocks from the plains biome though heh

[keen vine]

that did work, but now they're mixed in with all the old ones so I don't know which are which xD

[remote shell]

can you still mine the whole deposit of copper, by mining around it?, i havent played in i while, so i dont know if it still breaks the whole deposit

[turbid mantle]

Yeah but at as always it’s a bit iffy with invisible voxels

[remote shell]

ok thx

[subtle parrot]

Try visiting hildir again and see if the locations update or if you get new locations. nvm i see you did it already now lol

[opaque lantern]

folks, is there any way to make black forge level 6

[lilac coyote]

They will always update.

[tepid isle]

Is there a place where people post their mod lists?

[half ibex]

If I equip a Wishbone but havent defeated Modor, Will that start the Mountain and wolf raid events?

[tepid isle]

I'm pretty sure the raid events are based on monsters you encounter and beating a boss

It said on the wiki under raids

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

Interesting, I didn't know some raids are disabled by defeating certain bosses too

[still blaze]

I got killed in the Ashlands and now there is an Ashlands raid at my base any tips? Or am I just done for?

[buoyant peak]

No

[still blaze]

Actually is a smell of sulfur just a surtling raid?

[gentle harbor]

how exactly am i to understand the damage numbers?

[tepid isle]

Looks like it, check out that link I just shared

[still blaze]

Yeah it is just beat it too easy

[swift lodge]

is anyone else having major lag issues with ashlands multiplayer? all other biomes work fine but when we enter ashlands its is really rough.

[tepid isle]

I haven't gotten there yet but there is a mod I really like that reduces particles. Maybe that could be it, not sure

Anyone else think there are missing building pieces in the Ashlands update ?

Things that should naturally be there that just aren't

I checked with dev commands but there just is some stuff missing

Such as corner pieces for the new roofs ??

[winged dust]

Yea i noticed the corner pieces aren’t the ones i need lol 😂

[inland dawn]

is it just me or when i try to get into one of my worlds it just stays stuck in the loading screen and then it crashes

[shy shard]

Taking a while to load is normal when it's the first time opening a world since the Ashlands update

A crash isn't normal however 🤔 make sure to let it run for as long as it needs

[inland dawn]

it just crashes like it takes 10 to 30 seconds

[shy shard]

#steam-bugs-discussion I guess, if you're on PC

[dull fable]

So my friend and i are trying to build a base in creative mode but hes playing through Geforce now and cant launch through steam so he cant use -console so im wondering how i could allow him to use debugmode

[south grove]

is fully upgraded iron armor "good enough" to fight moder/kill fulings with?

or do I need to go farm silver armor first

[true steeple]

You’ll be ok if you’re good at avoiding attacks, but if you like blocking and parrying you should get better armor.

Make sure you have the best food you can get, too

[torn turret]

Yes! Enemies rubberband so much and theres a lot of stuttering. Only issues in ashlands, all other biomes work normally for me. Super frustrating..

(not using any mods, if that matters)

[uncut mirage]

For me, defeating moder, isn't about armor, its all about archer skills.
You can do it with troll armor as long as you can dodge and have decent arrows

[subtle parrot]

60 is the max potential of the weapon. 32-52 is the range of base damage with your skill level you can achieve with an attack.

[marble roost]

For me it's all about spear or flesh ripper skills. And preferably some fenris armor to not get oneshot by her ice barrage

[last osprey]

Not the armor, but the silver shield is definitely worth it if you use one. Maxed iron armor should be fine with that.

also it's not very expensive.

[solar ice]

I have a dedicated Valheim server with a few friends. Everyone seems to be having a fine time except for a specific friend in particular who's game keeps crashing. Is there anywhere in this discord where I can get help?

[subtle parrot]

Possibly #dedicated-server

[solar ice]

Now if it's just his game crashing and not the server would I still go there?

I do have his crash logs.

[subtle parrot]

This channel is generally for vanilla game help, that channel is for help with dedicated server issues. Not sure really what it would fall under, but if he can play the base game on his machine without it crashing, the other channel might be more appropriate.

[solar ice]

Ok. I'm not sure if he's ever tried to play the game by itself.

I'll head over there give it a try. Thank you.

[pearl epoch]

does anyone know why i keep geetting failed to connect to a friends server yesterday it was fine and today have this shit

[thorny crater]

Different IP? Anti-virus/firewall blocking? Host not running?...few options off top of my head

[pearl epoch]

nothing new everything is the same as yesterday

[hollow kayak]

so how hard is ashy ashy lands

[subtle parrot]

Quite

[subtle parrot]

Prepare yourself. Make back up armors, and a small base/checkpoint as far south as you can before heading in.

[hollow kayak]

👍

[opal obsidian]

What’s the best armor for the mistlands and entering the Ashlands?

[tired notch]

Depends on your play style

[uncut mirage]

nothing beats Fenris armor if you have high run and jump skill plus fire resist. Seems like a no brainer

[opal obsidian]

Well it isnt the best for Mistlands though is it? I was thinking Carapace for Mistlands then switching to Fenris.

[uncut mirage]

Fenris with feather cape is all I use in mistland

unless I go cave diving.

[opal obsidian]

Okay thanks

[full minnow]

Xbox player here, is there a way to remove servers from recent servers tab? Kinda pointless i know, but my friend is very particular 😅.

[tight thistle]

Having issues joining a friends lan world, no matter which way we try it we get a failed to connect message
Any help?

PC and steam deck

[dusty surge]

anyone hosting worlds having issues to see signs written by other players?

[primal dove]

So, when the drakkar breaks, do you lose the materials used to make it? The other boats I could usually salvage the mats, but I've lost two so far in the same area and seem to have lost the mats

[dusty surge]

it says "TEXT HIDDEN DUE TO UCG SETTINGS" what does it mean? I play on steam.

[wraith jay]

Did you google that to see what it meant?

[dusty surge]

yeah, but i did not understand how to solve it

[wraith jay]

Can you link what it said to do?

[dusty surge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/127ven5/i_need_help_signs_arent_showing_text/

[wraith jay]

It might be a mod, could be a corrupt file, would be very hard to help

[dusty surge]

well i did not install any mods

[tranquil zenith]

👋 heyoo anyone wanna help me get Eitr XD

[wraith jay]

It's a family safety setting

Scroll down in that reddit post

[dusty surge]

will try it

[burnt pumice]

how does one find the world seed using the steam valheim dedicated server?

[fleet echo]

Hi, where can I download the mods?

[subtle parrot]

No, they probably sank though

[primal dove]

It was on the shore

[fringe sundial]

There aren't mods available for download here, but nexus and thunderstore I have heard of. You could try asking in the mods chat:https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[fringe sundial]

I am fairly certain that f2 on PC lists the world's seed along with instance count, FPS and other information. Otherwise, if you own the seed, it should be listed just before joining the game.

[wide merlin]

I am trying to play with my friend on pc I am on xbox series x and everytime he goes to join me it says join code could not be resolved are we doing somthing wrong

We are on the same version

[fringe sundial]

Not sure how cross-play on a server works, but someone in server chat might: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[placid fiber]

hi

im trying to open a server to play with friends, but the host gets stuck in an infinite loading screen everytime he tries to open it, anyone know what to do?

we´ve played before, it just happened now for the first time

[fringe sundial]

Ashlands update has caused loading issues for everyone it seems (solo or server play). Try asking in the server chat: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[calm ice]

anyone have any ideas as to why the world we spawn in on our server is all surronded by water

[fringe sundial]

I can make a educated guess with more information, but the https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 chat would be a better place to ask.

[calm ice]

seems to be a bit more active in here and im unsure if its a server problem or the world loading in the server

[fringe sundial]

Hmm

[calm ice]

quite litteraly as described. We were playing fine last night, then we tried turing on crossplay for a friend which then kinda screwed with stuff and after that the world spawn would load in the middle of the ocean and the trees. bushes and rocks would all spawn in the sky and fall down

[fringe sundial]

Sounds like a loading issue. All materials have a loading order. (I'm making the order up since I don't have hard answers here) in example: 1: land 2: ocean 3: trees 4: rocks 5: player built 6: players.

If, for some reason, the order gets mixed, you get floating rocks and trees or land that spawns only after oceans...but that is speculation at best.

[calm ice]

thats kinda what i was thinking, im unsure on how to fix that though

[fringe sundial]

You could try to have only one person load in and wait to see if everything settles on its own before anyone else joins.

There could also be compatibility issues if you are running mods with the new Ashland's coding.

[calm ice]

nah no mods

[fringe sundial]

That simplifies things...but still leaves us with a puzzle.

I haven't played on a server, let alone a coss-play enabled one. So my guesses are guesses at best.

[calm ice]

Yea

Does WeMod do anything regarding this sorta problem though maybe. All though it doesn’t have mod files in it maybe it was me and my friends screwing around with stuff that caused it

[fringe sundial]

If you loaded it into your game directory(file folder), there is a chance.

[calm ice]

I didn’t but I’m not sure how wemod works due to you hitting play and it just kinda works so maybe it does inject something in there

[fringe sundial]

I am reading in redit that someone had a loading issue similar to this and it was fixed by "clearing local save data and restarting"

But that's redit...

[calm ice]

That’s not a terrible idea though

[fringe sundial]

As always, make sure to make backups.

Altering the game in any way will increase the chance of instability or breaking. This includes using the in game cheats or mods.

[calm ice]

yea, i mean backups are whatever as we haven't done anything yet due to this problem

[tight thistle]

Anyone know why I keep getting a "failed to connect" message?
Same version, both online, tried restarting but it still doesn't work

[rustic salmon]

I have had an Askvin in a pit for a while. I can't get it to eat. It stays in the corner trying to escape. I tried removing the shield generator thinking maybe that was it, and I tried removing the campfire close to it, and no change. Any tips?

[fringe sundial]

Seems like a common issue, though I have not heard of a solution. Are you playing solo or server?

[dense sandal]

Anyone's survival server having issues?

[tight thistle]

An opened personal world

[fringe sundial]

I am not familiar with server play (being a open world means you made your PC/Xbox into a server). Are you able to make a standard world and join it without issues?

[tight thistle]

Thats what we are trying to do, a standard world that is

Never had issues joining worlds till today lol

[fringe sundial]

Standard meaning only you can play on that world, no one can join you.

[stoic violet]

just had an update for my dedicated server, now can't connect...

[tight thistle]

oh like just playing in my own world? yeah we both can do it just fine

[fringe sundial]

Hmm

[tight thistle]

We both show up in the friends area as well when we are playing but any time we go to join we get sent back to the starter screen right before it normally would ask for a password

[fringe sundial]

I wonder if it is the same issue as solo play has had but takes longer because it is a server/multi-player.

[tight thistle]

?

[stoic violet]

ok, that was real weird, after i restarted my server for the 2nd time, i'm in...have no idea what that was all about

[tight thistle]

well at least you can get in

[fringe sundial]

For solo play. People were getting error messages saying "valheim has stopped working/crashed". After waiting several minutes with that error still up, it eventually corrected itself and loaded the main screen.

[tight thistle]

Yeah no issues that way, we just aren't allowed to play together

[fringe sundial]

Weird.

[fringe sundial]

Like I said before. I don't play using servers/ I play solo. So all I can do is guess.

[tight thistle]

You wouldn't happen to know anyone who would know you yah?

[fringe sundial]

Other than those who frequent the server chat(s), not really. You could send a modmail request or post about it in the bug section.

[tight thistle]

That could work, thanks for the help

Bruuuuuuuuuh, i joined an open randoms world and it let me in no fuss

[fringe sundial]

Might be the server/host then?

[errant hull]

Quick question, does the Flametal Ore deposits in the lava ever come back up in the lava after its sank? Or is it simply gone forever, meaning there's a very set amount of flametal in a world.

[fringe sundial]

Some servers aren't designed to take the load of a game, let alone one with multiple players.

[tight thistle]

Would playfab have anything to do with it?

[fringe sundial]

Once it sinks it's gone from what I heard. I also heard there are other sources of flametal, but they are super slow to produce.

[errant hull]

Oh damn, okay thanks for help!

[fringe sundial]

Not sure. You could ask around and see who other players use for server hosting.

[tight thistle]

It makes similar noises to the leviathans so I'm guessing it works like they do

[errant hull]

Also theoretically would placing campfires around an entire island of the ashlands make it so enemies don't spawn? I wanted to make a vaders castle themed lava fortress base in the ashlands, I prepped 5 full black metal chests of black marble for it but having so many enemies, that also do so much structure damage makes me so worried that one will destroy the entire base and or make building impossible?

[tight thistle]

Not sure why some have that and others don't

The lines seem to represent playfab whatever that is

[tough gyro]

I cannot find a recipe for making the MEtal Cutter (Black Forge L4 upgrade). I have all of the materials needed to craft this upgrade, but cannot see the recipe in the build hammer recipes. Which tells me it has not been unlocked, but I don't know what I have not yet found that unlocks it. Anyone help?

Ah, nevermind, I had a bunch of Flametal Ore in my chest but had not smelted it yet. Doing so got me the Metal Cutter 🙂

[tight thistle]

yeah you usually have to smelt it first XD

So he took playfab off and its working now, thanks yall

[modern flame]

are bees not spawning in your worlds for anyone else?

[fringe sundial]

They are a fairly rare find for me. From experience, they only spawn attached to buildings in the meadows.

[modern flame]

yeah i have 500 hours in the game but our whole starting continent has literally 0 bees on it and we cant find any

[silk fable]

Any idea why i cant place a stone portal even though i have all the mats and the stone cutter?

[fringe sundial]

It is super finicky. Just play with it. I have mine on stone flooring.

[silk fable]

You'd think if it was stone this would qualify

the only place it let me make it so far was my freaking treehouse wood platform which is not helpfull

[fringe sundial]

To clarify, mine were on ashland stone floors but it still took a minute or 2 to find a spot it would allow me to place it.

[silk fable]

This is seriously bugged

[fringe sundial]

If you are desperate for bees, you could use the valheim map that is listed in the pinned section. With your world seed, it will show you anything you toggle on, like possible traider locations, boss location, maypoles, ect.

Mind you, it is not 100% accurate because ashlands only recently came out and messed with the "likely placement" of things.

[opal obsidian]

Can someone tell me why when I switch from my one mods folder to another one why my Character has nothing and I can’t even start the world, I’m using one a mod with the extra Slots for armor and extra tools, and I already tried to unequipped them and that also didn’t work. And when I try and go into Vanilla it is the same thing, my Character has nothing

[fringe sundial]

I imagine it has something to do with your mods since I don't use mods and my game is mostly fine. If you haven't tried asking here, I would suggest it: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

[opal obsidian]

I have nobody responded haha

[fringe sundial]

About half or more, I would guess, are in a very different time zone.

It was about noon on Saturday mountain standard time when someone mentioned going to bed since it was late Sunday.

You might Wana fully remove your mods and see if the base game still works for you, then load one at a time and see if one specific mod breaks things. If no single mod breaks thing, it might be 2+ clashing.

Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.

[solar badger]

Okay, here's a weird one - I've been playing in my original world since Ashlands dropped and the map has been properly updating fine as I have explored... but I switched PCs to my laptop tonight, and now the revealed explored area does not match what I am exploring at all. It's like it has the pre-Ashlands map / minimap. Is there a way to force this to reset without losing explored progress? [No I do not have any mods installed]

[fringe sundial]

Might try the optiterrain command using devcommands. I would search for the specific code as I might have it wrong.

Or double check that the ashlands update hit your laptop also. For whatever reason, it might be pre-ashlands even though your PC is current.

[graceful hamlet]

yield seems slow

[keen vine]

do you only need 1 of each chest to finish hildir's quest?

[keen nacelle]

Yup!

[crude dove]

Has anyone experienced slowly sinking islands on a pre Ashlands world?

[floral pine]

Yeah, Our Pre-Ashalnds world has an entire bugged zone

[crude dove]

I have a black forest with floating caves and crypts, and I saw the coastline sink

[quartz cairn]

you can use the upgrade-world mod with zones_reset biomes=ashlands to fix that.

(or use the minDistance parameter)

[acoustic igloo]

i was messing around with command and i type in filltercraft and then no recipe on the work bench dose any one know how to fix this

[terse cedar]

My friend and I just beat the first boss and looks like next up is black forest. Is it worth making a bigger base in meadows or are we going to be living elsewhere (black forest and/or wherever after that)?

[grave arrow]

I've lost two world saves. They were personal servers. Any ideas why? I do not use mods. I mostly play solo -one was the one with a house in it that was my bank. The other was a tetra fish ski resort. I had enemies enabled etc and didn't spawn stuff in.

[uncut mirage]

very very slow and not worth it at the moment

[quartz cairn]

please read the pinned message about world saves and how to backup.

[uncut mirage]

Meadows is a great place to build a base until plains imo

[grave arrow]

Cannot backup stuff that is deleted.

[uncut mirage]

because its deleted....

[grave arrow]

and if the update is deleting my saved games, it's also probably got a bug that's going to take out plenty of other people's

[quartz cairn]

did you check the world save folders? what is happening with the files?
by default there are automatic backups in intervals. if you play on steam, steam cloud saves are enabled.

[grave arrow]

I play on Steam, regulary clicked save. They're gone. Only the stone circles remain.

[grave arrow]

🍻 ty for your help

[uncut mirage]

Your save games should be stored here
C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds

[lost tundra]

U can setup ur main base anywhere, but its strongly advised to build it adjacent to water
And u will have to build some temporary bases elsewhere anyway

I am in the iron stage, and want to make a greydwarf farm. i see people use puffer fish. any way to get them Easy in this stage?

[finite sorrel]

Nope 👎

[fossil folio]

Are Oak-trees sustainable on 2x resources? Wiki says that there's an average of 0.8 acorns per tree - so with 2x resources, that's 1.6 per tree, and therefore sustainable, no?

[opaque sonnet]

Not letting me use devcommands ( not that I need it atm, but I like having it as a last resort if I die in a insane spot.

[floral pine]

What's the method for recovering gear in lava lakes?

[opaque sonnet]

Basalt Bombs

[cosmic jackal]

we started to play valheim like 2 weeks ago before the update of ashlands but we never went to south of the map is it the game able to generate the ashland by the time we head south sorry if there are any typo english is not my main language

[marble roost]

There should be no problems :)

[cosmic jackal]

oh nice we didn't know the update will come out and the day came out we stressed so much thanks a lot

[subtle parrot]

If you explored the area pre-ashlands it will be messed up cause they changed the whole area around ashlands to ocean

[timid echo]

are he berserkir axes the best for chopping wood?

[chilly patrol]

After ashlands update the Mistland's boss is under water on our dedicated server.

We obviously know bugs are possible especially after the zone add but am just curious if we can do any admin/console command stuff to somehow undo that or at least reset the boss spawn to another point so that we can fight it?

Worst case we can restart, but wanted to ask if I can fix it somehow as the server hoster.

[subtle parrot]

Jotuns bane is supposedly still the best for it

[marble roost]

Easier option would maybe be finding (even just looking it up on world seed viewer) another Queen location and going to that one

[chilly patrol]

I was going to do this, but then I recalled, isn't only the first instance of a boss the one that it is, or is that only for traders?

[subtle parrot]

Only traders

[fossil halo]

recommended grear for yagluth?

[uncut mirage]

Does the world modifier "Build Cost" allow you to also build crafting tables and armor?

[uncut mirage]

Fenris and dark metal sword or knifes

[wheat perch]

padded armor black metal sword and shield draugr fang with ice arrows if u are solo and fire res mead

[tired notch]

I’d use fenris gear and silver sword, makes quick work if you’re good in dodging and running

[lament shadow]

so has anyone figured out a way to deal with the lava in the ashlands. I haven't been able to get much of the ore cuz the pillars are too far out and you die in seconds touching the lava. the basult bombs only form a small platform and sink shortly after useing them...

you cant build anything because the stone builds for what ever reason can burn...

like with the tar pits you can drain them to get the tar is there a simular trick with the lava?

[tired notch]

The basalt platforms are meant to get over to the flametal, not as permanent platform to stand on.

[buoyant peak]

Search for pillars that are as close to land as possible and mine those

I don't bother with the ones that are in the middle of the lakes.

You only need a few dozens and then just start assaulting fortresses to get the rest. I've only mined like two pillars and never bothered again

(Although I did use the portal exploit that was still present at the time)

Flametal beams also allow building on lava

[lament shadow]

the metal beams wont melt?

[buoyant peak]

No, that's their main intention/purpose so they shouldn't.

It's also flametal beams specifically, any other will be destroyed

[lament shadow]

got ya. ok thanks. I also didn't know you could get the metal from the bastions. Ill have to go raid the one I found last night.

[subtle parrot]

Tables and buildables are free but iirc you still need materials to craft gear and items

[frail cave]

Yo guys, i cant join a server, in box its saying ErrorVersion, but i have everything good, and updated

[still walrus]

Does anyone know how long it takes for the infested mines to repawn enemies?

[last osprey]

it doesn't

[lilac coyote]

Like all dungeons and dungeons equivalents, they don't respawn.

[last osprey]

infested mines respawn every 4 hours

[still walrus]

okey, ty. searching for the queen refight and i found a mine with 5 soldiers in it

[still walrus]

Real life hours right?

[last osprey]

yes

[still walrus]

So if i want to come back a kill those soldiers, i will need to left the game open for 4 hours or i can close it a come back in 4 hours?

[uncut mirage]

Actually invested mines DO respawn. I can confirm that but have no idea how long it takes
4hrs? I see above now 🙂

[last osprey]

time doesn't pass when the game isn't running. But you can just go do something else in that time (like raiding another mine).

[uncut mirage]

I wish all crypts enemies respawned

[last osprey]

The only ones that would really benefit would be frost caves since they're relatively rare and the only place you face cultists unless you unlock the Hildir raids. Skellies and draugr have spawners and blobs are incredibly common in the swamp already, especially if you go at night.

[quasi mirage]

I need to figure out how to make an inprint on the ashlands as a solo player

I beat the queen on my solo when the max armor lvl was lvl 2

so I'd have to upgrade it a bit before going to the ashlands but still.

[last osprey]

bring a hoe and a few stacks of stone to set up a portal base with terrain walls. Then get ready to die a lot as you learn how things work while hunting for upgrades. Bringing some form of AoE damage is advised.

[quasi mirage]

should I bring my mage set or my heavy set?

[last osprey]

mage. Even level 3 carapace armor struggles against the harder hitting enemies, so keeping your distance and avoiding hits is much easier. Also staff of embers is pretty good despite most enemies resisting fire.

[quasi mirage]

I also have a demolisher is that effective in teh ashlands?

[last osprey]

yeah demolisher is great to keep the hordes at bay

[quasi mirage]

fair

[last osprey]

As long as you have a way to deal with being swarmed and a safe base to retreat to you'll manage eventually, but the learning curve is a little steeper than in previous biomes.

[safe coral]

Hello there, everyone! My friend has a problem with his laptop during the game. The game uses 100% of his GPU no matter settings.

Did anyone had the same problem?

We already tried Lodbias in devcommands

[still walrus]

thats an issue? Having a game ussing the 100% is in theory, good. ¿It is to loud or hot?

[marble roost]

anything you build with the hammer is free, but you do need to touch the materials once to unlock the recipe

Crafting gear in a bench or forge or something still costs

[distant charm]

Best way to get charcoal? the dudes in the spawn, i made a farm with em. is rather slow tho

[uncut mirage]

I made a portal run for coal using those.
20 portals to 10 different sulting spawners.
Make 200 coal per run

But then I made 20 coal burnings and just planted a forest lol

no quick easy way tbh

[distant charm]

is there a limt of the items on the ground?

[safe coral]

for him yes. His gpu is from AMD and it is always 100% loaded, sometimes overheats.

[uncut mirage]

dunno, but it will start lagging if there is too much

[dawn valley]

can the wolf see me?

[uncut mirage]

your wolf is dead mate

[dawn valley]

it is not, that's wolf meat my friend throw

[fathom badge]

See that icon above you when you're sneaking? That's the perception notification. If it's an open eye, an enemy can see you and is aware of you.

[dawn valley]

like skyrim?

[fathom badge]

More or less, yeah. If you're taming an animal, if yellow hearts are drifting up from them then they're in the process of taming. Wolves won't eat wolf meat, btw... only boar, deer and neck meat. Maybe chicken.

[vernal knot]

Excuse me guys, sorry to disturb you, but do you know how to solve this? My game's grass is all black and buggy.

[dawn valley]

i already said to my friend, already throw a deer meat too, alright thanks

[fathom badge]

That looks like a shader issues... do you have any mods? Updated your graphics drivers and they don't have a custom profile of any kind? You might also want to validate the game files just in case.

What GPU are you using?

[vernal knot]

i dont have mods

[fathom badge]

Good, that limits things more. What about the rest of the questions? What GPU are you using? Do you have the latest drivers for it?

[vernal knot]

I have all drivers updated, but after the new patch my girlfriend is also having the same problem.

[fathom badge]

Ok... it looks like you're running at a super low resolution, and that kind of behavior is unfortunately often tied to some integrated GPUs that don't properly support shaders. What kind of computer are you running it on?

[vernal knot]

Like this?

I don't use shaders or anything in the game

[fathom badge]

Shaders are an inherent part of game engines, and it's how many graphical effects are created. There was a recent update to the Unity engine that underpins the game, and it requires features that some older and integrated GPUs do not support. I'm trying to figure out if your card is one of those, or if something else is going on.

[vernal knot]

I always played with the same computer and never gave this problem

[haughty plume]

I don’t think you understand what he’s saying because this is irrelevant to the issue

[vernal knot]

I don't speak English, so it's a little difficult to understand even translating, but I'm trying

[fathom badge]

I understand. But the game has changed, which means that even if your computer used to work, it may not now with the new changes. Especially if it's very old or has certain processors.

[vernal knot]

But I have an i5 and integrated plate

[fathom badge]

Yeah... the integrated GPU with an i5 is an issue I believe 😦 It doesn't support the needs of the game.

[vernal knot]

F

Almost any actual dedicated GPU should work though, if you have a desktop and can install it. But the Intel integrated GPUs don't have proper support for the latest engine. @lapis terrace I'm not spreading misinformation here, right? I think I remember that being the case with the recent Unity update.

[hollow citrus]

do console commands work?

[fathom badge]

Yes? You need to enable them by adding -console to the startup arguments for the game, though.

[hollow citrus]

I have enabled -console

but it's seems anything I type as a command doesn't do anything

[fathom badge]

They won't work except locally, if you're trying to run them on a dedicated server they won't work.

[hollow citrus]

i'm on single player

I've tried devcommands, debugmode, imacheater, none of those do anything

[fathom badge]

Ok. Did you also run devcommands as the first command? That's what unlocks the rest of the development commands like spawning items and such. Otherwise you just have basic kick and such.

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Commands

You're pressing F5 to bring up the command window, and not trying to put them in the chat, right?

You also don't have mods? Mods will often break the console.

[hollow citrus]

yes, F5, then devcommands, but nothing

no mods

[fathom badge]

After devcommands does it not say anything in the window?

[lapis terrace]

no. integrated GPU's are not going to work ever with valheim @vernal knot

Integrated GPU are just your processor working as a graphics card aswell

[vernal knot]

I never had a video card and I always played calmly

[lapis terrace]

laptop or desktop?

[vernal knot]

Desktop

[fathom badge]

Maybe the Ryzen ones, since those are fully featured. But Intel's integrated GPUs won't work, at least for Valheim.

[lapis terrace]

not ryzens either

Valheim clearly states "dedicated graphics card required"

[subtle parrot]

So.. my phone is better than some desktops.. amazing lol

[lapis terrace]

not impossible no 🤔

my old i6-6500 have a worse iGPU than my 2023 Nokia phone 😄

[vernal knot]

I found someone who had the same bug as mine and the video is from 3 years ago, I'll take a look

[indigo elbow]

Where is the best place to ask questions about Steam Deck for valheim?

[subtle parrot]

My s22 ultra runs the game off game pass mobile at 60fps, it's quite nice

[indigo elbow]

Any idea how this happened? How I can fix it?

This is for my SteamDeck

[subtle parrot]

Have you gone to controller settings and tried changing them?

[loud linden]

The trick is finding a graphics card that has the dedication you need. Graphics cards these days are all about "supporting mental health" and "liveable wage". Graphics cards just don't want to work anymore!

[indigo elbow]

Yes. I'm using the Official Layout for Valheim

[true steeple]

How long has this been happening?

[subtle parrot]

Hmm strange, wish i could be more help, but i know nothing about steamdecks

[true steeple]

I play on steam deck but have never seen this

[indigo elbow]

I just booted it up today after updating it

[true steeple]

The problem is a missing key bind. Maybe Settings>Keyboard & Mouse>Reset controls could reset it? You could also try swapping the control layout to another in controller settings, then changing it back.

[indigo elbow]

Okay I'll let you know, restarting and trying

[quasi grove]

any tips to find haldor?

[true steeple]

Sail around black forests. If a bag marker appears on the map, he's there.

[quasi grove]

alright, thanks. gonna explore south of the map hopefully he's there

he can only spawn so far right?

[indigo elbow]

I can't find the reset?

[quasi grove]

wtf

[true steeple]

It should be on a big grey button in the keyboard and mouse options. I'm hoping it resets all binds including controller binds.

[quasi grove]

why is there fire comin out the ground

OH gg swamp

[true steeple]

That looks like a surtling spawner. It might've generated in the wrong biome, that can happen with various objects.

[subtle parrot]

Surtling geyser

[quasi grove]

yeah cant really make a farm since the spawner is up on the hill :c

[subtle parrot]

Are you in the ingame settings or steam settings?

[indigo elbow]

This menu?

[true steeple]

In-game options, not steam

[indigo elbow]

I was on Steam, will look ingame. Thanks

[true steeple]

In-game is also where you'll find the controller layout option I mentioned earlier

[indigo elbow]

Just hit the reset. I am still seeing this:

[true steeple]

Change the controller layout to something else, then change it back

[indigo elbow]

"x" for okay. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be A

[true steeple]

No, it's meant to be X

[subtle parrot]

I use the 'console 2' layout in game settings for controller.

[true steeple]

I use console, but it's ok to use whatever you prefer

[subtle parrot]

The default just feels bad to me

[true steeple]

What even is the difference between console and console 2?

[indigo elbow]

Okay. Hit the reset. Changed to Console 2. Applied changes

[subtle parrot]

The triggers and bumpers i believe

[indigo elbow]

Still no A

[subtle parrot]

Damn

[true steeple]

5 characters minimum

[indigo elbow]

Okay. Whereas there was no "A" next to Done, I was able to click on it via touch screen. Will continue to test.

[subtle parrot]

Interesting

Is there a way to disable touch and/or the trackpads?

[indigo elbow]

Also, could this be a reason?

[true steeple]

That is unrelated

[indigo elbow]

The PlayFab message.

[subtle parrot]

Playfab is for crossplay

[lapis terrace]

getting a 2nd hand 2000 generation is a good thing IMHO

like 2060,2070,2080

a 1080 also works fine. or a 3060

intel A750 works great btw

[true steeple]

You can fix this issue by either running windows valheim with proton or adding the valheim.x86_64 file as a non-steam game in desktop mode.

[rotund needle]

I cant send picture but I keep getting the battery with wire icon when joining a friend's server - It implies my internet is weak but im running with 700mbps download 500mbps upload, already tried restarting game/restarting pc but it still persists

anyone knows a fix for this issue?

[quasi grove]

should i have found haldar by now

hes nowhere to be seen fr

[subtle parrot]

Not necessarily. There's a lot of space to cover and he could be anywhere from iirc 2000m-8000m from the spawn

[quasi grove]

Wtf damn

Would I have to run inside the islands to find him too?

[indigo elbow]

@subtle parrot @true steeple thank you for all your help! It is now showing A to start. It shows this if I go to either console. I'm thinking resetting helped? Idk. But it's back now

[fathom badge]

Where I found Haldor on my latest world is 100m from some Mistlands, and about 500m from the Queen's altar.

[true steeple]

[subtle parrot]

There are multiple possible locations he could be though, and yes he could very well be inland

[quasi grove]

only spawns in BF right?

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[quasi grove]

damn gotta go runnin then

[viral bay]

only bf but a min and max distance from spawn

[fathom badge]

It can also be your network connection to the server, or the servers' network. The icon just means you're getting disconnected for some reason.

[subtle parrot]

Glad to see it

[loud linden]

I was playing Valheim with a 1060 6gb. It was ok. Now I have a 4070 12gb. Is it better? Of course it is! The point is to have fun with what you've got at your disposal.

[quasi grove]

valheim rtx

how much is 2000m from spawn?

just so i have a grasp on the min-max distance

[subtle parrot]

About a 5th of the way to the edge, i think it's about 10000m radius

[quasi grove]

Oh wow alright he can spawn literally anywhere then :x

[subtle parrot]

Indeed

[fathom badge]

He's got 10 possible locations on any world, and is permanently locked at the first one you discover, but that can still be quite a journey to find one.

[lapis terrace]

Same. I started on a 1060 Gb i5-6500

[quasi grove]

cough cough devcommands cough

[tidal bloom]

dont mean to ask this everywhere but is there anyway to see where the highest elevation is on the map?

[loud linden]

Unlike dogs, Valheim players can look up. 😛

[tidal bloom]

lol yeah but the map is huge was hoping there was something like the tool by wd40bomber so i could just hover over with my mouse and see elevation

Also, my generation is exetremely bugged because i made my world like 2 years ago. boss spawns are never where they are supposed to be. and none of hilders quests are in the right locations. not even sure they exist on my world.

[loud linden]

The update broke everything remotely close to Ashlands for me, as well. The southern borders of the Mistlands have just been flooded; the tops of trees still stick out of the water.
I've started a new world. Valheim was restoring my faith in Early Access games, and it's now gone again.

[tidal bloom]

yeah. really wish they were more careful with updates. especially since the game literally takes 100s of hours to progress. i dont just want to start a new world cuz ive been playing with my friends on my current for so many hours

[halcyon crag]

not sure what the complaint is here, exactly the same thing on my old world but it's in no way game-breaking, everything is still do-able

[opaque sonnet]

Maybe just dont build near the continents that arent out yet? Not like theres plenty of land all over the map to build on thats completely fine.

[tidal bloom]

i havent, my problem is the hilders quests and boss spawns arent where they say they are

which is pretty game breaking

[halcyon crag]

POI shuffle can happen on every update and again, not game breaking

you just have to re-find them

[tidal bloom]

how do i find the hilders quest?

i was able to find new boss spawn

[halcyon crag]

search meadows 2-5k out roughly

[tidal bloom]

i have hilder i mean like, the locations on the map are wrong

do i have to find a different hilder or something?

[halcyon crag]

go touch her table again and they should update

[tidal bloom]

okay ill try that

[loud linden]

You're not sure why an area you've spent dozens of hours preparing, adjacent to the new biome, being under 30' of water upon release would be a complaint?

[halcyon crag]

not when it's an intended feature

and we had plenty of warning about the water moving

[fathom badge]

Same with the boss locations... major generation updates will rearrange where undiscovered locations can be, so you need to go back to the vegvisirs and find the new location if you haven't actually gone to the boss altar yet.

[tidal bloom]

okay ill do that too. definitely was making me and my friends pretty annoyed

[lilac coyote]

We were warned repeatedly that this would happen.

[full hull]

hello, I would like to know if it is normal that valheim does not launch on the xbox game pass?

[tidal bloom]

yeah ive purposefully stayed away from edges of map to prevent messing up new generation

[boreal ridge]

Hi!
I've gotten absolutely destroyed in ashlands. Is world backup an option to kind of reset or would it break the game? what happens to the stuff and our tombstones?

[fathom badge]

If you roll back to a previous save your tombstones and gear will disappear, since it is no longer tied to the characters, it is stuck in the gravestones which is saved with the world.

[boreal ridge]

awh shucks.... thanks for the answer 😄

i have like 3 high tier sets of armor and all my good stuff over there. built like 4 drakkar boats 😅

[fathom badge]

You can mess with the world modifiers when starting up though, and that might be helpful 😉 Turn the difficulty down, maybe some resource rates up, something along those lines

[boreal ridge]

Ooh good tip! I'll look into it. It's just that i have 0 gear left now...
