there is no way to disable it in vanilla, a mod might exist though

found it: https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/4
"Disable deterioration of placeables from weather exposure. "

[still solar]

but I don't want a roof

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, that's the vanilla build rules. It'll degrade to about half durability unless placed under a roof and take on that weather beaten look. There isn't a way to disable it, unless you use a mod.

[still solar]

If I install the water decomposition mod, will my friends have to install it too?

[willow badge]

yes

[hollow mantle]

If it is server side (which I'd imagine it would have to be) then yes.

[willow badge]

why not just build under a roof at that point, though? (I could understand if this was singleplayer)

[hollow mantle]

Actually, if you are hosting the world, would they need to have it installed? I'm not sure, but it's probably 50:50. The mod should say if it is required by all.

[gentle harbor]

do i have to place an egg into a chest or just on the floor near a fire?

[pliant lodge]

It is highly recommended to use mods from Thunderstore not Nexus .. nexus doesn't play nice lol .. also there's #mods-discussion and #mods-issues which are more appropriate 🙂

[hollow mantle]

Wherever your heart desires!

[subtle ermine]

base shield vs base shield, not in game now to take screenshot but from the wiki:

[still solar]

thx bro

[gentle harbor]

do tamed pets die if u dont feed them

[hollow mantle]

No...feeding pets enables them to reproduce, but if you don't feed them they will carry on carrying on.

[rain stag]

Is Ashland going to work properly on a map since Mistland update and if I never traveled there?

[willow badge]

Block force is the amount of knockback dealt to the attacker when blocking melee attacks.
what matters is the block/parry armor

[hollow mantle]

Yes, it should update your map with the new content...it will just take a few minutes when you load the map up the 1st time. (Might be good to make a backup of your world, just in case.)

[jovial marsh]

Quick question because I couldn't find an answer online or the wiki. When a battering ram is destroyed by the enemy, should the materials drop in it's place? The ashwood, flametal, and cores did not drop after the charred enemies destroyed the ram. Thanks.

[hollow mantle]

I don't know for certain, but I vaguely recall a discussion about this and lack of recovered materials...and that it is working as intended, but perhaps someone better versed on the topic can answer.

[rain stag]

Alright, hope it's the same for deep north

[sterile scaffold]

Ty

[hollow mantle]

So, I did just spawn a few test battering rams in my test world, then spent the time to destroy them myself and they did drop some 2x cores, 10x flamemetal and 20x ashwood each. So perhaps I was mistaken?

[valid lynx]

what is the best polearm atgeir-like thing in valheim, im deciding if i should upgrade this blackmetal atgeir or not

[marble roost]

One more tier after black metal, you can get it in mistlands. Very good

[valid lynx]

thank you, is it an atgeir?

[marble roost]

Yes

[jovial marsh]

Yeah, I am able to repeat what you did and get my materials back. When the enemy destroyed the ram tho, the materials didn't drop. Was wondering if this is by design or a bug? Might require more testing on my part, but was hoping someone also experienced this.

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, would be nice to know if that is the case and if it is a bug or a feature. THen the new strategy would be to destroy it yourself when the durability gets really low.

[vestal viper]

do ya'll test anything before you release it?

asking for a friend cause Ashlands is glitchy / unstable / unplayable

[hollow mantle]

They had a Public Test Beta up for about 3-4 weeks to test for bugs before they released the current version. I think most of the bugs were ironed out and some things adjusted, however, the game is still Early Access and may still have bugs that need to be worked out. If you want a bug free experience, perhaps wait till v1.0 release...or maybe v1.1 or v1.2.

[rain stag]

Askvsin only spawn around lava pits right? I rarely see them around the coast while trying to clear the spawners.

[vestal viper]

" Early Access " is such a cop out and disingenuous. Games are perma Early Access and never hit full release so people like you can continue to just say " it's early access, wait 10 billion years for full release or don't play "

[pliant lodge]

sounds like Valheim is not the game for you

[hollow mantle]

I guess so...shrug I mean, the game is still being worked on. I don't think it's beyond expectations that there could still be bugs prior to release. Many games these days have bugs even after they are released and aren't fixed until several versions after.

[pliant lodge]

and some bugs are never fixed
🤷‍♀️

[hollow mantle]

You could say I'm spewing copium, and I would say you are being overly critical...the truth is probably somewhere in between those two.

[vestal viper]

I don't think it's unfair to ask for a version of release in the game where 10 people arn't able to even play the game, constantly sucked through the world, fps of 2 playing on really beefy computers. As far as bug fixes for 2-3 weeks of "beta" in a early access game you'd think something as game breaking would be their top priority.

[hollow mantle]

I guess I haven't had that same experience, so I can't really agree with you just yet. But perhaps reporting the issues to the devs might help make the game better for everyone.

[pliant lodge]

i'm sorry that's been your experience. Perhaps there might be some people who can help with troubleshooting in one of the specific Help channels while you're waiting for the devs to respond to your bug report. #steam-bugs-discussion #xbox-bugs-discussion #dedicated-server

[lavish crypt]

whats the max black forge level right now? 4?

[rain stag]

5. You get gems cutter and metal cutter from this biome

[lavish crypt]

alright one of those might not be in range of my forge then

[visual radish]

The alternative is that you don't get to play or view/be aware of any content at all until the 1.0 release is finished. Early access to a game is a luxury and something people should be grateful for. The development process is still messy regardless, and it takes a very long time to complete either way as well. You just don't have to see any of that for games that aren't early access. So complaining about it is also a luxury you wouldn't have otherwise (you wouldn't even know valheim existed if it weren't for early access). Only thing going on here is you having grossly misplaced expectations for an experimental phase of a currently unfinished game. Games that take especially long to leave early access are also just facing part of the development process. Developers aren't always going to know exactly what direction they want to go in at all times, and plans can change many times throughout the process, or they can hit a "writer's block" of sorts (again all stuff you're never made aware of with all of the non early access games, which all go through the same process in the background).

[orchid axle]

Heya just have a quick question, would a laptop that struggles to run CS2 at all be able to run this game on the lowest graphics?

[finite sorrel]

I have run it using a 940m mobile GPU at 720p so it’s very accommodating

[silver hill]

How many charred fortress spawn per world on average?

[hollow mantle]

If you are accessing it via Steam, you can give it a try and if it performs really badly at the lowest settings, you can request a refund prior to 2 hours of gameplay. Might be good to join someone's server where they have a lot of building pieces placed...or to run up into a mountain for the weather effects as those seem to be the things that tank performance for me.

[vestal viper]

" Grossly misplaced expectations " lol being able to actually play the game I guess is a grossly misplaced expectation when they did 2-3weeks of " beta " testing lol

[fringe sundial]

I can play, and have been, with a PC that is about 10 years old.

I use a i5 kaby lake processor and a HDD. Most gaming councils have better hardware.

[hollow mantle]

Curious...does using an SSD vs an HDD have a huge impact on performance?

[fringe sundial]

Ssd have better read/write speeds and tend to be more stable (less fragmentation/curroption as time goes on). On the flip side, Hdd is old tech and super cheep.

[hollow mantle]

Aye aye...I'm thinking specifically in regards to Valheim's performance.

[fringe sundial]

Regarding game performance, I have heard valheim is CPU heavy vs most games being GPU.

[finite sorrel]

SSDs are cheap, why even run a game on an HDD these days.

[fringe sundial]

There are only 2 reasons to use Hdd. 1: you already have one 2: it came with your (pc) bundle to give you terabytes of space you might not have for the same cost in ssd. Depending on market, HDD can be 10X cheaper than SSD.

But that's neither here nor their with regards to helping make this game run properly.

[hollow mantle]

Honestly, in the beginning the game ran fantastic on my older (but powerful for it's time) PC. But as I get further along and we build larger more complex bases and march through some of the more intensive weather effects (I'm thinking of YOU snowstorm in the mountain biomes!) the game's performance has taken some hits with some noticeable FPS drops. So like most of the time, it's okay, but there are times when I'm like "this is not good...I hope this can be optimized better".

[hollow mantle]

I've noticed some of the newer games are starting to require SSD to keep up with the demanding performance. Most noticeably it is with procedurally generated landscapes in these "massive scaled" sandboxes like No Man's Sky. It makes sense to me that you are constantly loading in objects at random depending on wherever the wind takes you. Also, making the landscape completely interactive is pretty memory intensive. In most games the landscape is not alterable, and thus you don't need to worry about if the player is going to change/alter it and probably doesn't need as much memory? I'm just speculating though.

I'd imagined the new PCIE SSD drives are a massive boon for these kinds of games...

[rain stag]

Where is all the Soft Tissue in Ashlands? I exhausted all the easy to reach brains and I don't want to genocide my dwarven friends. Do the Morgan holes Tissue respawn?

[fringe sundial]

Thought soft tissue was a mistlands thing(?). In skulls found in the terrain and occasionally in boxes/barrels belonging to the dvergr.

[true steeple]

If any soft tissue works why can’t I put my friend in?

[halcyon crag]

huge

[willow raft]

I can't remember how to do a surtling farm, wasn't it making it so the geyser and surrounding land was under water or did the geyser need to stay out of the water?
I have a geyser and dug all the way down so everything is underwater but it seems they ain't respawning or do I need to stay in the vicinity for 5 minutes.

[pliant lodge]

i usually dig down a couple of levels to make sure there's water in it and then flatten the ground around the geyser so when they spawn they'll die. They will respawn regardless of whether you're there or not as far as I know, cos there's always lots of coal and cores when I go check

[last osprey]

under water, but only slightly. I don't think they spawn if the water is too deep (not 100% sure on that) and a shallow puddle is enough to kill them and more comfortable to pick up loot from.
Also keep any portals, workbenches etc. far enough away that the geyser isn't in their spawnproofing radius since it prevents surtlings from spawning.
They respawn every 5 minutes. If you've been away longer than 5 minutes and get close/portal in they spawn (& die) immediately.

[willow raft]

Maybe I build the portal a tad too close then, the workbench is far enough away but the portal is a bit closer. I'll need to check that this evening it will hopefully just be that and nothing else.

[halcyon crag]

they will still spawn even if the geyser is completely submerged iirc

[last osprey]

yes but afaik they don't spawn if the water is deep enough that they'd need to swim? There needs to be some ground for them to stand on in the spawn radius iirc.

[halcyon crag]

i'm sure someone showed shots of one completely under water that was spawning, was a long while ago though, may be worth testing

[last osprey]

this depth definitely works, they spawn and die immediately when i portal in

[cosmic jackal]

guys how can i explore the ashlands last time i was trying to farm some flametal 4 askvin 2 morgen bunch of twitchers are chasing me i keep dying can you guys have any tips for ashlands i am about to give up

[willow raft]

Lots and lots of spawn proofing.

[cosmic jackal]

like campfire?

do i need to place campfire every 10 steps of my exploration

are these spawn rates normal

i am using valheim plus but can't see any settings on config

[willow raft]

They are normal, campfires work.
You could also create small bunkers all over the place so you can move from bunker to bunker.

[rain stag]

Clear the spawners (they are all over the coast lines as defense), then make sure you 1v1 as much as possible.

If a lavablob explodes around trees and rocks, they make a huge amount of noise like you were mining so be alert. Otherwise, it's pretty chill if you don't sprint everywhere in panic and aggro all the mobs.

[cosmic jackal]

makes sense

thanks for suggestions

[rain stag]

Are starred Ashvins night time only?

[last osprey]

2 stars yes, 1 stars no

[rain stag]

Ah, I see. Guess I need to brave the dark then. Any nasties I need to watch out for at night? 2 starred everything in Ashlands?

[loud raptor]

I'm nearly ready to take Bonemass.... I have iron armor up to level 3, and an iron mace.. Not sure if I should try and upgrade my iron armor further at this point, or do Bonemass and focus on gearing up with the next biome set of armor?

Also is the huntsman bow worth getting?

[willow raft]

Each boss should be doable in 1-3 armor levels so you are prepared enough for it.
Huntsman bow is nice if you frequently use bows if not wait till you can get the next bow.

[true steeple]

Why haven't you upgraded your shield?

[loud raptor]

I'm too much of a gumby to use it properly..

[willow raft]

It does give more armor so it will help with survival even if you don't use it properly.

[loud raptor]

oh nice, that did not occur to me at all.. thanks

[true steeple]

I've never noticed this??

A shield should do nothing if you arent blocking or parrying except slow you down a bit

[willow raft]

MMM I might be misremembering then, let me check.

[desert elbow]

if you like to sniping yes, it also perfect for stealth killing without alerting other mobs since its quieter than other bow

[willow raft]

@loud raptor @true steeple I'm indeed misremembering.
A tower shield can just be raised and doesn't need to be deployed at the right time, so that stops damage from coming in and gives armor when used.
Other shields you parry with do the same but at lower values unless you parry successfully with it.

So the tower shield doesn't need proper handling just need to be raised anytime before an attack hits.
The other shields need to be raised at the right time to stagger.

[true steeple]

Tower shields don't just give armor, they have a ton of knockback too

[willow raft]

True but can't be used to stagger, so you just need to raise the shield and not block at just the right time.

[rain stag]

Are ballistas good at hunting rabbits? Or should I try to funnel them into bear traps?

[last osprey]

just put up some fencing in places where they commonly spawn, leave a small gap and line that with wood spikes. They'll try to path through the gap, hit the spikes and die.
Rabbits get oneshot even by basic corewood spikes so there's no need to go for anything more expensive.

[willow raft]

You will need to repair those spikes from time to time though, if you have some pufferfish that would be preferable to throw them down there.

[rain stag]

Huh, pufferfish, didn't expect those to do damage and stay forever. Too bad my mist base is too wide to cover both plains and Mistland soil.

[dusty isle]

is it difficult to play as a mage in Valheim

[vague eagle]

was wondering if anyone knows what lvl workbench you need to make the fine bow

mine's lvl 4 but i cant seem to find it, i have fine wood already

[pliant lodge]

do you have corewood? Finewood bow is craftable on a level 1 workbench

[subtle parrot]

If you keep range and manage your stamina pretty well, it shouldn't be too difficult. But if you're used to playing melee it'll take some getting used to

[willow raft]

It is a different playstyle, you need to stay mobile, you don't use stamina to fight so you can move around quite a bit.
The damage from staff of embers is very nice or the slow from staff of frost.
The staff of protection is also good to have that bubble that let you stagger anything and even if that shield only has 1 hp it stops all damage.

[willow raft]

Corewood, finewood and deer hide, you need to have all three and then it should show up in the workbench.
Like nightowl said.

[dusty isle]

That wouldn't be a problem, I struggle with melee combat and have found that I am more proficient with an arbalest

[marble roost]

Mage is the strongest/easiest playstyle imo

[daring finch]

I have a mod-related problem
I need to remove accidentally spawned object
the only thing I found that can do this is this mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1274
unfortunately it seems to be not updated, and whenever i launch game with it enabled it forces console window that i can't close, and so i can't enter the game to remove spawned object

so, either how to remove spawned object without mods,
or how to launch this or similar mod so i could use it?

[indigo dagger]

So we are having great difficulty in finding The Queen! Any Help?

[true steeple]

If you used a vegvisir before the ashlands update, you need to use it again or find a new one

[indigo dagger]

We are in a totally new area

[rancid mason]

I got you

Trying looking for little ruins with a entrance

Should have like bug fluid on it like a web

[true steeple]

Where it is doesnt matter. If you used the vegvisir before the update you need to get a new marker

[indigo dagger]

How do I get new marker?

and are you saying any vegvisir?

[true steeple]

Any queen vegvisir will show you where she can spawn now even if you used it before

[indigo dagger]

Have never used one for her

[true steeple]

So the problem is you can't find her vegvisir?

[indigo dagger]

yes

[marble roost]

Just gotta explore infested mines and try and find one

[indigo dagger]

went to several locations on generated world map and still no bueno

[true steeple]

They're very rare, I had probably gone through about 12 mines in my first playthrough

[indigo dagger]

ok thank you will keep trying

[marble roost]

I usually find one in 4-5 mines

[subtle parrot]

If you know the itemid then you can use the forcedelete command to get rid of it, without mods

[silver hill]

Does anyone know how many charred fortress are supposed to spawn per world (assuming new world without pre-Ashlands exploration).

Or a way to count them on an easy way 😅

[marble roost]

20ish

19-22 I think someone counted on a few worlds

[silver hill]

Cool thanks

[marble roost]

There's definitely devcommands that can mark them all too although I'm not too experienced with it

Or worldseed viewer

[late gull]

can i tame star wolves in the day? I saw a video that told me i couldn't and another that said i could

[hollow citrus]

is there a mod that picks up everything in your radius with a press of a button?

[marble roost]

Probably. I'd ask in #mods-discussion though

[marble roost]

They only spawn at night, but you can start taming them during the night and continue during the day

Wolves spawnede at night despawn once it becomes day, UNLESS they've started taming. If they've started taming they won't despawn

[late gull]

so if i started in the morning i should just kill it and wait until the next night?

[marble roost]

No

If you started you can continue

[late gull]

but i didn't start the tame at night

i been sitting on it for a couple of minutes and the status stays on hungry but it wont eat

[rocky ore]

so whats the best way to level up the bow?

[marble roost]

If it's alerted it won't eat, sometimes they're just being annoying too. But if you have a starred wolf don't kill it, just continue trying to tame it

[marble roost]

Probably making a little platform above bonemass and spamming leftclick with a bow

[late gull]

if i stay in the area and don't let it despawn into the next night, will it start taming the next night?

[rocky ore]

wait so does spamming it on nothing not level it at all?

[marble roost]

Nope. Has to hit an enemy (or player or tame with friendly fire on)

[rocky ore]

oh

[marble roost]

You really just gotta throw it some meat (not wolf meat) and then stay nearby without alerting it

[late gull]

i'm standing directly on it and it wont agro or eat

[true steeple]

It's trying to despawn. Wait for night

[pale prairie]

Hello, is there really no way to find the merchant? I just have to scrawl through the whole map?

[true steeple]

Also DONT LEAVE IT until it starts taming or it will despawn

[solar badger]

If it spawned at night it will only eat at night, and you can prevent it from despawning by staying nearby

[late gull]

yeah

[late gull]

yeah

[willow raft]

Either sail around and keep on looking, use the seed viewer or devcommands.

[willow raft]

It will only start eating at night, if the taming started it should eat in the day, no?

[solar badger]

That said it is only a 1 star wolf. You may just wanna let it go and find a 2 star

[solar badger]

I don't think so. Not until actually tamed

[willow raft]

Once I start in on the mountains I'll test it out.
Previous times I lured a 2 star wolf over a pit and dropped it in, the meat was already in there, so I sprinted away and snuck back closer, parked myself in a nearby pit, floored over it and put on an episode of the xfiles.
after the episode was done it was tamed so don't know when exactly it ate and when it got tamed.

[pale prairie]

Does it tend to be close to the shore?

[rain stag]

I'm trying to tame Ashvins but the biome is stupidly hostile. Do I really need to AFK for 30mins hidden somewhere perfectly still?

[marble roost]

Don't need to afk no

[urban anchor]

hey guys... My chickens are not eating ... does anyone know what am I doing wrong ?

[subtle parrot]

Can they even eat when it's over there heads?

[willow raft]

Yes if the head and the seeds are close enough to each other.

[subtle parrot]

Interesting

[urban anchor]

tried this way too and nothing

[willow raft]

Maybe try this auto chicken farm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klQg1f41U3c
It has worked wonderfully for me.

[rich crane]

Whats the best Mistlands tier foods thats easily accessible and great for casual play?

[willow badge]

it depends what's easily accessible for you - for example honey glazed chicken can be farmed entirely, so that probably makes it the easiest one
misthare supreme only has hare meat, the rest again farmable vegetables

as for stamina, salad ingredients can be farmed, and the plains-tier bread still holds up

[rain stag]

While taming Lox/Asksvins, can you get close enough to see their taming status by using those window walls? Or will they spot you through it?

[urban anchor]

I followed this one. seems similar?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXURY1Cy_og

[true panther]

my friend is running a server and he started it with fire hazard on but we want to turn it off, how do we do that?

[willow badge]

player-hosted or dedicated?

[true panther]

dedicated, i asked in #dedicated-server but nobody answered lmao

[willow badge]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/1/3827550531049424508/

idk what the name/key of the fire hazard is though

[pale prairie]

Does it eventually get quicker to travel around? I know there are portals but does walking get faster like mounts or stuff? I find most of my time in the game is just spent walking.

[marble roost]

Ehh portals are really the main way to get around. As you up your run skill you start running a bit faster and you can also get some armor that ups movement speed

There are mounts but they're not great, and then ofc ships for crossing water

[rain stag]

Err, press shift to sprint?

[pale prairie]

I see. I've played 40 hours and have only just found my first swamp. Quite the time sink.

[willow raft]

You can run and if you train that it becomes better.

[willow badge]

keep in mind that you can use portals whenever you're not transporting metal, so you can spam portals to every potential destination

[marble roost]

Eikthyr power also helps a lot with running for longer

[willow badge]

like, when exploring mountains or mistlands, I tend to have 3-4 portals per biome

[pale prairie]

How many hours did it take you to get to mistlands?

[willow raft]

Portal chains are also nice to quickly gather stuff, like blue berries or strawberries, if you find a clump of 5 or more put a portal down to access it and a portal to go to the next clump and keep going.
surtling spawner, infested mines and so on.

[thorn spire]

I tend to sail a lot when I'm exploring. I keep 2 iron and 6 copper in the hold of my ship and drop a portal with it when I land, then grab another portal to explore a new island.

[rain stag]

Where are the copper scraps in Ashlands? I want to expand somewhere else and need a 2nd shield generator. can't build stone portal yet

[willow badge]

uh, my latest playthrough was 4 people and we all knew how to play, so pretty quickly, my guess is less than 50 hours

[thorn spire]

As you increase your 'run' skill, running costs less stamina, so you can go further per full stam bar. I sure hope when you say walking, you mean running.

[chilly zenith]

anyone having problems joining dedicated server? My server is on version 0.218.15 but my game is on 0.218.16. Im on xbox but my friend is on PC and he's on 0.218.16, and he can join the server.

server is on dathost.net

[haughty plume]

0.218.16 is ptb

[chilly zenith]

sry but "ptb"?

[haughty plume]

player test branch

[thorn spire]

There was a PTB patch dropped today. Need to update game version on the server.

[chilly zenith]

ok. thanks. I'll look in to it.

[haughty plume]

yeah but he had 0 idea what ptb meant which means he probably shouldn’t be on it

[thorn spire]

fair

[chilly zenith]

So I should be able to change the Branch setting from Default to Public test?

[haughty plume]

no don’t, do the opposite, change the branch from public test to default

your server is fine

[chilly zenith]

But its on Default (Latest stable)

[haughty plume]

your client is on the wrong branch

[chilly zenith]

yea, the xbox is on 0.218.16, Im guessing it has to do with using the insider hub then for game preview?

[haughty plume]

yeah, probably

[chilly zenith]

Ok. I'll try some stuff. thanks for the help

[hasty marten]

There is any way of making the Ward protection so people cant damage anything

[faint flicker]

I know I'll probably just be told to "git gud", but does anyone have any genuine Ashlands tips/tricks that can just help me move around easier? I've been there a while now, got the new speedy armour, some of the new food, some new magic gear, but I'm just bored of getting 50m out of my base, getting absolutely swarmed by mobs, spending a whole in-game day fighting them off, only to have to go back to base to sleep again.
As much as I love the game, and loved Ashlands initially, rinsing and repeating that over and over is just becoming tedious now, and I feel like I'm missing something obvious that could help! Thanks

[willow raft]

Small bunkers or spawn proofing areas could work.

[faint flicker]

yeah, I've heard about just chucking campfires down everywhere as you move around... but that feels a bit... lame? I can't imagine the devs intended us to do that, really?!

[willow raft]

Not really but it seems to work.

[uneven hinge]

Anyone got any clues of mods that help with fpd greatly?
I have an integrated gpu and i want to steady my fps at 30 at least.
(vortex preferably)

[short ruin]

anyone know why valheim makes my gpu run so hot? it normally peaks at like 80 degrees but idk why cause i have a pretty strong pc and a lot of my friends have shitty pcs and they run valheim fine without their gpu getting hot

[lilac coyote]

I would doubt it. Especially Vortex.

[uneven hinge]

where else then?

[lilac coyote]

Thunderstore. But you find a better answer on #mods-discussion

[visual raft]

Are you fps uncapped? I seem to remember an issue at launch when I was getting something like 800 fps on the load screen and it was instantly spiking my CPU and GPU temps. I now have a frame limit set

[short ruin]

no its capped at 60

[visual raft]

Have you overclocked your GPU or does it come base overclocked? Are your drivers up to date? What are your graphics settings?

[short ruin]

graphics are low

i updated drivers a week ago

[visual raft]

Do you have a screenshot of your settings?

[primal dove]

I've been putting a lot of portals down and "leap frogging" them (if you will). Mostly to avoid losing all my stuff. I look for points of interest (||dvergr houses, forts, etc||) and portal near those so that I can return to base and sleep, then check it out in the (in-game) morning.

[visual raft]

Also are your fan settings appropriate in your GPU? What's the fan curve look like?

[primal dove]

I'm also taking my time. Gotta take a break and do some other stuff regularly.

[visual raft]

There are a lot of those summoning pillars littered everywhere - have you been religiously clearing those? Otherwise, getting monsters to fight each other and performing some amount of spawn blocking could help

[primal dove]

Yes, clearing those is important. Kiting the warriors around it can help knock it down faster as they'll damage it

But even without those you can still get swarmed quickly

[white heron]

ok just died mining flametal because pillar was sinking. Now when I returned to the pillar it is still there but I can't see my grave?

[subtle parrot]

It's a bug, your gravestone is now in the pillar

[white heron]

hm. so should I try to mine it and maybe it will reveal gravestone as it sink?

[subtle parrot]

That usually works if you can manage it or if you switch enemies to passive while you do it

[faint flicker]

I thought I had been, yes. But I still seem to have 2 morgens and a stack of asksvins and charred warriors right outside my base, lol!... are the pillars the only place these spawn? or do they just spawn randomly, too? I don't mind destroying some pillars, but if they're still going to respawn regardless, it doesn't seem worth the effort!

[subtle parrot]

They spawn in lava as well, you can place campfires around or any other base items that prevent spawn like workbenches to motigate spawn in a wider area than just where you have your base

[white heron]

pillars spawn only charred warriors and twitcher AFAIK

[subtle parrot]

The marksmen as well, come from the pillars. And they all 3 can spawn from the lava.

[visual raft]

I like torches for spawn blocking. Also keeping the trollstav around to create another enemy for them

If you can get them all fighting each other, you can often break away

[haughty plume]

I think the purple ones can also spawn 2 star warlocks too

[subtle parrot]

The purple are pretty rare though, I've only seen a handful of them

[faint flicker]

nice idea, but I'm NOWHERE near being able to craft a trollstav! I haven't even FOUND a fortress yet, let alone taken one out!

[rain stag]

Has anyone taken a look at the invisible spawn points yet in Ashlands and see how dense they are?

[visual raft]

Haha fair enough. I think spawn blocking with torches or the like is probably your best bet

And making sure you're exploring only during the day. Some of the native mobs will also fight each other if you get them to hit each other

[hasty marten]

?

[visual raft]

Pretty sure some mods will do that. But that's not how wards work

[faint flicker]

well, yeah - that's been the other issue... because I'm spending the entire day just waking up and clearing out all the mobs, it's night time again by the time I've killed all the mobs so I never have TIME to move elsewhere before the sun sets and I have to start again, lol

[subtle parrot]

Just run passed them, leave the stragglers behind and kill what keeps after you and keep moving

[hasty marten]

I need a way to deal with my 10iq friends that dont organize the chests and beat everything 😒

[visual raft]

Yeah, it's tough. I mean at a certain point it's always a "git gud" issue, but I'm just trying to offer some solutions. Running past them like Fukov said is also a good option

[visual raft]

Why do you need to prevent them from damaging chests? Are they breaking them?

[visual raft]

Real talk though, turn off "visible to others" and go find a remote area to build a base and don't tell them where it is haha

[faint flicker]

no worries - I appreciate the tips... it's still early days, so I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet... plenty of time to figure out what I'm doing before the final biome comes out, anyway!

[hasty marten]

Its not that they steal things but i put down chesta by sections and they dump everything randomly, and if i put a warden for sure they will destroy Doors and chests XD

[queen prawn]

I have an existing save from mistlands, I never explored the southern lands where the lava biome is. Will that be generated correctly when we explore it? Including the shape of the land? Or will it just generate new things on the messed up terrain?

[visual raft]

I think it will be fine, yeah. As long as that area didn't generate in your map previously

[visual raft]

Sounds exhausting. If you really want to play with them, I guess you need to get them to respect chest organization or deal with it in your own way. Maybe try one of the craft-from-containers mods

[cosmic jackal]

its fine i am playing like you as well

[lusty zinc]

does microsoft store on pc count as pc or xbox lol cuz i cant find any modded crossplay servers but i can do it myself without 24/7 access for everyone

[subtle parrot]

Xbox basically counts as game pass lol but pc probably has more options/more accessible than console or mobile game pass

[lusty zinc]

so you think my friend can run these steam servers since he can get all the mods in the files like me just runs it off microsoft

[subtle parrot]

Probably a better question for the folks in #dedicated-server or #mods-discussion maybe, I'm not familiar with either of those subjects

[tawny pagoda]

Any tactics suggestions for mage in the ashlands?(I have one friend who is a tank and one who’s a ranger) Pls I died so many times. I don’t want to lose any more magic skills.

[marble roost]

spam staff of protection, and I recommend some fast armor like askvin or fenris. Feather cape or askvin cape good too

Keep your distance, maybe eat 1 stamina 2 eitr so you have stamina to outrun and dodge enemies

[mortal gull]

so me and my friend died in the ashlands, and we keep struggling to get our stuff back because its like right on/around lava, can anyone help?

[pearl mortar]

I found stamina meads are essential in ashlands

[marble roost]

Basalt bombs might be helpful. But https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630 is there if you need the help

[mortal gull]

dont do feather cape youll burn up like crazy

[marble roost]

naw

Barely any fire damage in Ashlands and staff of protection negates it anyways

Plus if you're really worried could always just chug a fire barley wine

[last osprey]

keep up protection bubble always. Get distance and recast it immediately if it falls.
keep moving and abuse jumpcasting to stay out of melee range
don't try to block or parry attacks, avoid everything
use the terrain to your advantage - enemies can path up most rocks but it'll usually take them a while which allows you to regen stam/eitr in relative safety
use dead raiser for meatshields - even a basic skeleton can take a couple hits for you, no need to always summon the entire gang. Once you get a trollstav use that if you need a distraction.
Once you get a staff of the wild you can lay down a field of roots and just run circles around it while they kill anything in melee range

[tawny pagoda]

Thx! I don’t need stamina food cause me and my friends have a LOT of stamina, health and eitr potions. Wow, when I think about it, it sounds like a huge skill issue

[tawny pagoda]

So you recommend to switch to feather cape? Cause Im using the askvin one rn

[last osprey]

Yes. Jumpcasting is a huge advantage for a mage and the fire weakness doesn't matter as long as you keep the bubble up.

You can do fine with the asksvin cape too but feather cape is a lot easier to stay alive with. So if you're struggling i'd go with the feather cape for sure.

but most of staying alive in Ashlands as a mage is learning what attacks enemies have and how you have to move to avoid them.

[sullen dew]

How long is time to ferment poison resist?

[fathom badge]

I believe all fermented products take the same amount of time, 2 in-game days according to the wiki

[sullen dew]

thanks

[marble roost]

Personally I really like going hybrid mage, using bubble staff and a nice sword and then switching to a mage staff for some situations

[distant charm]

does anyone know of a good chicken coop design?

[willow badge]

like an automatic farm or a regular coop?

[distant charm]

i have a egg farm, i need a smart wat to hatch/kill em

[willow badge]

I followed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw7MIj3wWL4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ca-Yywvthg

[distant charm]

which one did u use

[tiny moss]

Is anyone else having issues logging into a dedicated server today? server is updated, my game is updated but this is what I get

[bitter yacht]

i have the same problem, i updated my server using steamcmd and the game in steam, and i see the same error

[tiny moss]

update was for betas, we fixedit by going into properties and setting it back to beta for the game version just now, then got back into the dedicated server just fine

[bitter yacht]

ok, i try

[distant charm]

can u farm onions in plains?

[true steeple]

You should be able to, but I haven’t tried so plant one seed and check

[uncut mirage]

And everything else

[distant charm]

not ppuffs

[uncut mirage]

Well...no

Not mist of ash stuff but all previous biome stuff

Vineberries yes

[buoyant peak]

Everything grows in plains except mistlands shrooms

[vague goblet]

I've had success with this one, but it doesn't automatically kill them. I just go in there randomly and hack away with the butcher knife. You could add something that does the killing for you I suppose but I don't think it's that much better. I use a very similar setup for my Asksvin as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXURY1Cy_og

[terse cedar]

iron sword secondary attack is slash not thrust?

[lavish bobcat]

Hi, im having a problem with my character in valheim. My character is visible and exist in valheim [public test], but when i switch to valheims normal version (none) all other character are visible but my main is not but it still exist in the valheim in the mange saves section

[lilac coyote]

That's to be expected. Any worlds or characters used in testing won't be available back on the live version. You'll have to wait until they merge again.

[willow badge]

the obliterator version, it's not as efficient but it surely is very entertaining

[lavish bobcat]

Yeah makes sense, but the thing is after i updated the game i havent played on the character yet so could i maybe go to an older version or something like that to get it back?

[prisma river]

hey I was wondering is there a silver pick axe I have some tools of silver already but I can’t find one for a pick axe and my forge is at max it can be right now?

and how do I get ymir flesh if it doesn’t show up in the shop?

[lilac coyote]

You can only get Ymir flesh after killing the Elder.

[prisma river]

which is the elder

[lilac coyote]

Second boss.

[prisma river]

ooh the tree guy

I skipped him because i did him in another world okay thank u

[marble roost]

No silver axe or pickaxe (technically there's a crystal battleaxe which uses silver a bit, but you don't need it to cut any new trees)

[balmy sonnet]

Does Geyser still spawn in swamp ?

[marble roost]

Yes

[south mountain]

Hey. I've been playing on the beta version until earlier today. When i swicthed back to the normal i'm no longer able to select my character that i've been playing with despite still having the save files on both cloud and local. If anyone can help

[lilac coyote]

That's to be expected.

[south mountain]

There's no way to load my character on the normal game?

[prisma river]

another thing is what do I do with black metal because i can’t put it in the smelter

[true steeple]

Make a blast furnace

Have you killed Moder yet?

[prisma river]

I have not

[true steeple]

You should do that before doing much in plains, there are some other materials you cant use before killing her

[buoyant peak]

Nope

[prisma river]

oooh

[buoyant peak]

Loading a backup from before PTB

[south mountain]

Fixed it. Incase anyone else has the same problem you just need to load an older backup save from the previous version of the game.

[south mountain]

lol yea thanks

[spark crest]

my friend's game crush every 10 min on my host server, anyone know how to fix it?

[distant charm]

goes rain get through iron bars?

[supple panther]

I believe it does

I once tried making the roof of my base with iron bars, and it started to rain, and then i noticed that my floor had taken water damage... so yes, i believe it does get through.

[slim pasture]

I have a question about boss difficulty. I know the difficulty of a boss scales on the number of players currently on the server. Does the spawned boss difficulty change when players join/leave? Like the boss is spawned in the world. Half the players leave. Does the boss get "easier?"

[buoyant peak]

Based on distance the moment the creature/boss spawns

[distant charm]

do chickens eat barley

[rare rock]

Does anyone know what the max amount of tamed askvins is in a certain area?

[lilac moat]

is the charcoal resin only used to build pots or does it have any other use?

[charred tide]

not sure if right channel
used to have a mod that let me modify tamed animal health (or something to that effect) and after having my boars die again to a raid I kinda want it back 😆
cna't find it anymore though, does someone know of a mod that helps with that

[halcyon crag]

a barn for them should be enough, or a sunken pit with a roof for extra security

[vague goblet]

Are you referring to the maximum breeding limit within a certain area?

[rare rock]

yeah

[vague goblet]

I'm not sure but I'd assume it's the same/similar to the wolves. I just go straight to making breeders so I don't need to worry about the limit.

The amount would be completely dependent on the space you're providing though. I was able to breed quite a lot 15-20 in a troll cave.

[rare rock]

I managed to tame 2 1 stars so I am quite glad with that

sadly have not yet seen a 2 star askvin,

[dreamy hearth]

Okay, I need clarification on something.
When someone sets foot in Ashlands, will all camp and bonfires spread out regardless of biome or location in the world?

[marble roost]

Fire spread is on in the Ashlands so fire will spread to wooden buildings and such in the Ashlands. But it is contained to the Ashlands unless you actually turn the world modifier on to enable it everywhere

Going there doesn't change anything

[vague goblet]

I had to just take a look to refresh myself but it looks like wolves are 4 wolves per 10M radius and 4 lox within 20M radius, so I'd guess it's somewhere in line there.

[dreamy hearth]

Okay, cause I heard a rumor from the server I'm on that such a thing happened.
And it's not even immersive mode!

[warm zealot]

Hi guys , im playing with my friend on xbox but disconnecting everytime . what can i do

seeing this icon everytime

[true steeple]

Try waiting and it could go away, this happens to me most times I log into a server

[warm zealot]

got disconnect after this icon 😦

[glass flax]

difficulty is based on proximity, so whoeevr is within the range to multiply difficulty them thats whats the boss gonna be when summoned

[dreamy hearth]

So it counts players within the chunk, or whatever.

[glass flax]

yea i think its 600meters i could be wrong

mayb 200 meters? lol

its 100 meters on the wiki

[prisma river]

whats the best way to approach moder?

[marble roost]

Most people use bows (stack up on like 200 obsidian arrows). Personally I like using fang spear or flesh rippers on her because they tear her apart

[prisma river]

obsidian are the strongest against them?

[marble roost]

in mountains yea

[iron hemlock]

hello, i am in a bit of a pickle here, me and my friend is playing on a online server, we have explored litteraly all of the ashlands biome and cant find a fortress, no green smoke anywhere or nothing. we've discovered 3 different boss locations and a few caves, but not a single fortress, anyone encounter this and in that case know what to do?

[marble roost]

Sounds very unlucky. There should be 20ish fortresses per world

Maybe try and make another world to hop over on to explore? It does really suck tho

[haughty plume]

there’s no luck here, I don’t think it’s possible for no fortresses to spawn

[iron hemlock]

i havent tried to explore another offline server or something, might try that out tomorrow

only weird thing i've seen is on the "main island" there is a section of elevated lava, but thats it

i havent discovered every recipe or anything but it seems to have everything, only missing the fortresses

[haughty plume]

is this a new world made after the ashlands update

[iron hemlock]

but we went down south before patch and made a base in ashlands to prep for patch, is this something that may have bricked the server so to speak?

[haughty plume]

yes

[iron hemlock]

no before, made mid mistlands

[haughty plume]

you bricked it by going to ashlands pre patch

[iron hemlock]

orly

[haughty plume]

they said not to do this before

[iron hemlock]

i actually joined this server 5 min ago so i wouldnt have known that xD

is there anything i can do that you know of?

[prisma river]

thank u ima try it now

[charred iron]

Do boars eat your crop as they are growing?

[floral token]

they only eat things dropped, they don't eat carrots out of the floor by themselves when they're growing

[distant charm]

how do u guys feel about fenrir armor? for mistland/ash/general

[rustic bough]

how do i remove the env clear command

[marble roost]

Love it with a mage build

Love taking just one piece like the pants for a melee build

[buoyant peak]

resetenv

[rustic bough]

thank you

[last star]

Ok, found the issue, my character seemedly got updated to the new public beta, but i cant select that character anymore when i go to the release version

am i fked and need to wait till the server also updates to this public beta?

[zealous shell]

I'm having a similar problem but its with my worlds, every time i try to launch it my game crashes

[prisma river]

I melted the black metal

what can i do with it now?

[hollow mantle]

Have you tried loading an older backup of your character? Do any of them work?

[last star]

I have not, didnt know they were also backed up, ill have a look, thanks!

[hollow mantle]

I think one of the suggestions before joining the PTB is to backup your world and character saves before switching over because there may be a chance they will become incompatible. If it isn't, then IG should really push this suggestion for the PTB. Hopefully one of your old backup files will be okay...but if not, then you might have to erase and start over, unless someone creates some kind of conversion utility. PS. By backup I mean physically copy the save files to another location...not just backups made inside the game.

[dreamy hearth]

I usually keep all saves local myself.

[hollow mantle]

You MIGHT be able to wait for the PTB branch to be updated to retail. It's probably not a good idea to use the same character and worlds and try to hop back and forth between the two. Keeping them separate is better...if you are going to use PTB, then keep a set of PTB save files...if you are going to play retail, then keep a Retail set of save files, and when you switch, switch the save files as well. You can usually push a lower version save file into a higher version of the game (usually Retail into the PTB)...but it may be impossible to push a higher version save file into a lower version game (usually PTB into the current Retail version).

[drifting prawn]

Hello! I have had an issue (for a long time, on nvidia and amd), where, after a while, my fps suddenly drops in valheim. its all smooth, and then bam 45 fps from like 90, and it seems like even less than that. it doesnt go away until i restart. I have a few mods, but i dont think they impact it? How can I debug this? Thanks. Im on AMD Radeon 7800 XT running on vulkan on linux

[last star]

Probably yes, they should put that stuff in the patch notes tbh that your character will be incompatible with the previous version, but well, i did manage to return to an older save and it worked! much thanks!

[drifting prawn]

the funny thing is it still says like 60-70 fps sometimes but its super laggy, like i have 20fps

its only using like 50% of my gpu and 30% of the cpu

[hollow mantle]

Have you tried removing the mods? Do you still get the performance drops?

[drifting prawn]

i havent, no. this is because it takes a while for the performance drop (singular, it happens once then i need to restart) to happen, and i usually only play that long with mods

i can try running without them tho tomorrow, for testing

[serene tangle]

but code isn't as linear and simple, could be any of them theoretically

[drifting prawn]

as i said, its completely fine performance at the start, until: at some point, it randomly starts happening. my fps is still decent, but super stuttery. Its not my pc, only 50% of gpu is used and 30% of cpu, very little vram

auto repair only happens when you open workbench tho

[serene tangle]

should be OK then

[drifting prawn]

yeah.

is there any way to debug performance in game?

[hollow mantle]

This I don't know besides the usual lowering the settings...and F2 has some performance information.

[drifting prawn]

F2

[hollow mantle]

But if there is a way to enable some kind of performance log that would be nice to know.

[drifting prawn]

even at min settings it still happens

only when moving camera, if i look still its fine btw

at min settings i have 160-90fps but its still stuttery

also moving directly backwards is fine, but any other direction is stuttery

[hollow mantle]

This sounds to me like it's an issue with loading in objects to render...it may not be a bottleneck of your CPU/GPU or RAM but rather transferring items from disk?

[drifting prawn]

actually even backwards isnt fine all the time

[drifting prawn]

i have an ssd with great read speeds, top of the line

this is my pc if it matters https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/QuadRadical/saved/#view=vT8DwP

ive got 50gb of ram free so its not that

[hollow mantle]

If you reduce the draw distance or the render scale does it help?

[drifting prawn]

no, i can put it at min where i cant even see and its still stuttery when turning

[hollow mantle]

It looks like you are playing on a remote server...it maybe that it's trying to load data through the network that is causing some of the lag?

[drifting prawn]

isnt the server hosted on my machine? i check start server then hit join world

[sturdy folio]

Let's move any and all mod discussion to the intended #mods-discussion / #mods-issues channels please

[drifting prawn]

its not a discussion of mods. i have a few but it shouldnt impact it at all. ill even test vanilla

[sturdy folio]

I saw names of mods 😄

[hollow mantle]

The picture above says it's got a 2nd active connection...have you tried removing the other person or joining a local world with just yourself? And do you still get the performance hits after a while?

[buoyant peak]

clears throat

[drifting prawn]

yeah but they shouldnt impact it

[sturdy folio]

screenshot of mods

[drifting prawn]

i posted just in case. im even going to test vanilla after this

[hollow mantle]

But the fact that it's a modded games means it probably should be moved to the "mods-issues" channels is what they are saying.

Unless you remove all the mods...

[drifting prawn]

okay ill test vanilla rn so we can continue here

[drifting prawn]

kicking didnt help

booting up vanilla rn

[hollow mantle]

I'm also not sure just disabling them is good enough...you may need to uninstall them completely? I'm not sure what the SOP is.

[drifting prawn]

they arent loaded at all

its like they arent there. its just in some random place on my pc, not even in valheim

[drifting prawn]

fyi i normally get ~130 fps, no issues when turning, instead of like 90 fps when turning and stutters

rn since i restarted its fine, we will see what happens now with vanilla

[hollow mantle]

Just for comparison, when I play I'm quite happy with 45 FPS...lol. My computer is not very powerful though. After a while, I get stutters during heavy weather events or if there is a lot of objects to render (like when I'm in a large base). But usually it is predictable and noticeable during these events. For your specific issue, it could be something with the game loading things into memory...but with a lower limit of 90 fps, personally, I don't really see that as an "issue" that requires that much effort or attention. BUT it would be nice if there was a way to log performance and report back to IG to help them optimize the game. As a player with a computer at the lower end of the requirements, any optimization for performance would be a boost, imo.

[drifting prawn]

the thing is, when it goes to like 70 fps (also sometimes it dives to like 40), it feel like its way less, i think its because its stuttering

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, when I play with friends, sometimes we have a huge lag spike that makes things like mobs jump around unexpectedly. The pipe between my dedicated server and all the players may have been temporarily interrupted. I've alse heard that the performance of one player may affect the performance of others in the same area. So if you are playing with another person with really bad performance, it will also affect your client as well, but I can't verify this.

[drifting prawn]

they also have a really good pc (and dont experience any performance hitches like i do)

i havent noticed any issues with vanilla yet but it usually takes around an hour so i may have to retry tomorrow

[spring frigate]

dose putting iron beam inside of flametal pillar somehow increases structual stability or it dose not make diffrence at all

also is flametal pillar actually better in first place to be a support?

[still blaze]

I'd assume so but I'm not too sure

[hollow mantle]

Try stacking a bunch on top of each other and let us know if you can stack one higher than the other? (Or I guess I could do this in my test world).

[marble roost]

Pretty sure flammetal is NOT stronger. Dunno if it’s weaker

[true steeple]

I think wiki says they’re the same. Flametal isn’t meant to be a better replacement for wood iron, it’s purpose it to allow builds on lava

[buoyant peak]

No

[hollow mantle]

I just stacked iron beam and flametal pillars side by side and the flametal pillars were able to be stacked about 6 chunks higher before breaking... EDIT: This is false, later on the stacks broke down to the same height, as the structural support algorithm seems to have caught up.

[spring frigate]

ty god

[spring frigate]

also thanks for checking it ❤️

are these walls in ashlad fotress trul unbreakable by non player means?

[marble roost]

Wait yes

[spring frigate]

cuz i can still see number pop ups as if they were gettinggamaged

[terse cedar]

is 8 spaces between pillars the widest stone pillar spacing?

[marble roost]

Can only be broken by ram or catapult

[true steeple]

With iron cage floors or wood iron beams you could possibly go further

[spring frigate]

by non player means

[buoyant peak]

Because the iron beams are giving support to the flametal ones

That's how iron support has always worked

[spring frigate]

ik we can destroy them but i just got raided in ashlands by goblins and one of bersekrkers did smash atack and i saw a lot of number pop up

alsooooo ofc they have range big enaugh to hit thing inside

[buoyant peak]

Then you already had the answer before asking

[marble roost]

Ye that’s why I said yes to it being unbrekeable by non player means, and then just clarified

[spring frigate]

so what the source of those pop up numbers?

are they decorated with something on outside?

[marble roost]

I’ve seen the numbers pop up when attacking a wall but never see anything break through it, I don’t think they actually can

[fringe sundial]

I believe there were banners last I saw of a fortress. Also, it might be showing a bunch of "0" for damage...

[hollow mantle]

This is true...when I push the flametal pillars further away from the iron beams, they seem to top out at about the same number (maybe just 1 more).

When I put the iron beams inside the pillars, the total number that can be stacks is even higher it seems...unless it's some kind of object collisions juggling that is just delaying them from breaking (also possible...I'll try to quit and reload a few times to see if they eventually break.)

[terse cedar]

iron cage beams?

[true steeple]

Iron beams

[hollow mantle]

heh heh...the flame pillar alone just started collapsing...I guess it just takes longer for the structural integrity algorithm to catchup....they are now about the same height. 😉

[terse cedar]

wood iron beams?

[true steeple]

Yes, there aren’t any other beams with iron

[hollow mantle]

In the game build menu they are listed as "Wood Iron Pole"

[true steeple]

Those are the vertical ones

[terse cedar]

ahh I got it I think, like this?

[true steeple]

Yes, and you could also try the cage floor so it sticks out of the side less

[hollow mantle]

11

[terse cedar]

ohhh now I see what u mean about the cage

[hollow mantle]

I have a feeling the iron beam + flametal pillar stack will also degrade to the same height...it will just take a long time for the support structure thing to juggle the collisions between the two. And there it goes...

[hollow mantle]

So the final tally is that all three, iron beams (Wood Iron Poles), flametal pillars, and a combo of iron beams inside flame metal pillars stack to the same height (about 25 pieces). Eventually anything higher than that will break given enough time.

[terse cedar]

looks like it works 4 spaces horizontally supporting from the top too lol

but further with the cage on the bottom

[spring frigate]

try stuffing iron beam inside without snapping

[terse cedar]

like rebar

[spring frigate]

yes

[terse cedar]

I think I bugged it, deleted the cage and blocks stayed up

[spring frigate]

did u telerpoted to this place in last 10 seconds?

[terse cedar]

no

is that what happens? u think ur base is good and then next time u tp in it all collapses?

[spring frigate]

every time u tp structures have lingering blue support and then game calculates it again

[true steeple]

It can take a while to update support sometimes

[scarlet pulsar]

Are these too close together?

I'm getting like no vineberries

[round quest]

anyone know what faders ID is?

cant find it anywehre

Hey do you lose your character after leaving the public test?

I ask because my friend is getting the incompatible message so I told him to opt out and when he reenters the game his character isn't there

We're on Xbox by the way

[rain stag]

Do bonemaws spawn closer to the shore or must you sail around the spires to find them again?

[floral token]

you don't lose the char, the char is just a higher version than your game is running, when the game updates it'll be compatible

most of the time, at least. however, keep in mind, it is public test.

meaning, if you change to public test again and launch your game, you should see the PTB character t here

[latent raptor]

Weird did it update today? It's weird because it's only affecting one person. I should mention that he's trying to join a dedicated server

[floral token]

there was a ptb update recently in the last day or so

check #public-test-patchnotes for date posted

[lucid wadi]

is it posible to do a tank build my fiancee is struggling with the game due to nerve damage and doesnt have the reaction speed to be able to dodge stuff on time she doesnt really care about doing damage just wants to be able to not die.

[scarlet pulsar]

There are tower shields in the first few biomes of the game. After the 5th Biome I dont think there are anymore tower shields. They provide more armor / block but can't parry.

I have a friend playing as a "tank" but bosses and 2 star mobs can't always be blocked. Some of their larger attacks will go through your shield

[crude dove]

Known bug they're propagating but not spawning berries

[crude dove]

Mods help channel? Doesn't look vanilla unless things are different on console

[crude dove]

Yes it likely can I believe we've had one

Only once in many game days

[scarlet pulsar]

some people are claiming they're getting a lot atm, I'm going to keep experimenting and seeing if I can figure out exactly what the difference is. Ty tho

[scarlet pulsar]

yes, I think you can even be hit by Ash raids once you kill Queen and hang her head. I had just finished plains when I turned on the new Fire Hazard / Spread feature and got raided by a Gjall 😿

[crude dove]

The tanky build would be best food best metal armor available, Tower or current metal shield and right click a lot. There might be videos explaining roll timing it's pretty forgiving once you know the enemy in question but it's different where the attack hits on everything's animation

Parry is more exact timing but is not strictly required to tank just helps you stagger to have you and allies do more damage

I did notice that mountain built silver and crystal battle axe had middle click stagger poke that is very effective stunning single baddies, different style but doesn't take much timing

Other weapons likely have a similar mechanic I haven't used many two handed heavy ones

Eventually in 6th biome Eitr gear gives a shield bubble that makes combat much more forgiving for anyone it's cast on absorbing about 300 HP , if you do that it let's the recipient sort of go berserk a portion of the time

[compact heath]

You have to visit a vegvisir again, if the location was added before Ashlands change it will have moved, making any boss locations previously discovered THAT YOU HAVE NOT VISITED be inaccurate & wrong. Re-visiting a vegvisir for this boss will give you the new location.

[hollow mantle]

Does it clear the old (and inaccurate) one? Or can you do that manually?

[thorn spire]

right-click to clear the old one. checking the vegevisir again will not clear it.

[lucid wadi]

thank you i will let her know and we will try to figure something out

[compact heath]

manually, doesn't automatically remove old ones

[compact heath]

you can also lower difficulty setting in world modifier, enemies will do less damage making her more tanky

[hollow mantle]

Bonemass ability helps too...if you can get 3 other friends with it, and just spam it every 5 minutes...things are a lot easier.

[marble roost]

Update made bosses move potentially so markers from before the update can be inaccurate. If you find a new vegvisir (or even interacting with the one you originally used again) it should give you an accurate location

[terse cedar]

I always get big ideas but get bogged down in the details trying to build a base =/

anyone know if this breeder is still up to date?

[cyan laurel]

Is there a known fix for this? I crashed while putting stuff away at the base, and when I reloaded I was in my last save position ( a dungeon ) and when I used the portal to get back home, It clipped into the floor and now I can't see anything.

I've tried everything from killing myself and trying to spawn in bed (still broke)- started a new character and went through a portal and still broke. The only thing that worked (temporarily) was to take a boat all the way back and then the base was spawn in ( with a small dock/shed glitched out and not fully built) but the main base was still there. I went about doing wathever and when I used the portal again it clipped everything out. I tried to sail back out but this time everything was missing (enemies, plants, trees) like the first time. Is there a way to fix this or help me understand what is going wrong.

We just passed 500 days and got into mislands and now it's seemingly broke and the thought of restarting near the end is just deflating. Is there a way to fix this? I'm not the owner of the server so I can just devcommands/debugmode and fly back out everytime.

[summer canyon]

who is the server owner? do other players also have this issue?

they might be able to open a backup - generally backups are taken every time the game saves (every 30m or manually) and can go back as far as a day

I can only guess that the game isn't streaming instance data to your client. have you validated your game files? may be a corruption

[rain stag]

So for people who try every weapon in Ashlands, what's the best weapon to start there? I'm very low on refined Eiter from play around too much with magic stuff and I need a melee weapon

[subtle parrot]

Mistwalker

[mystic solar]

I really like the mistwalker in ashlands, it's great vs askvin and morgen specifically as it freezes them with the first hit. Then they turn so slowly that it is easy to stay behind and keep hitting them.

[prisma river]

where can i find flax or flux

[neat remnant]

Mistwalker and even Frostner is pretty good as a starter weapon

[neat remnant]

Flax, and in the plains, goblins camps

[prisma river]

what’s the best weapon for plains aswell

[prisma river]

i only find wheat there?

[neat remnant]

There should be barley and flax

[prisma river]

oooh okay maybe i’m just unlucky

[neat remnant]

It should appear has a normal field, you only get barley in chests (or so it seems)

[true steeple]

You can find barley growing too

[prisma river]

is plains near endgame or is there still a lot more to do?

[true steeple]

Plains is the fifth biome out of seven

And that will be 8 when the game is finished, so plains is about halfway through

[prisma river]

oooh damnn

[neat remnant]

Yeah plains is considered as the end of mid-game by many players

It is. If you're lucky the effects of the spawner clip though the rock so you can see it's there, that's how i found out.

Of course it does.

Are you hosting the world you're using it on?

[hearty trellis]

yes and i have admins too

'removedrops' is not valid in the current context.

im assuming that because its a lgsm server maybe??

[true steeple]

It needs to be a world hosted in-game

[compact heath]

and silver sword

[willow raft]

devcommands-->debugmode--> L to remove nearby item drops

'debugmode' is not valid in the current context.

[lilac estuary]

devcommands do not work on dedicated servers (as already pointed out by Blobincycake)

But you may find a way around in #mods-discussion

[silk fable]

My friend rode an askvin into lava. We were convinced it would be safe but the askvin caught fire, and then us. Is this normal cause I feel like I've seen people do this with no issue?

[willow raft]

That isn't normal but if I'm not mistaken sometimes the lava spews things and that can damage an asksvin.
I'm not 100% certain of this though.
Better use the staff of protection while going over lava.

[marble roost]

Yea sometimes little blobs of lava get spewn out, and they hit the askvin lighting it on fire. It should be very little damage though

It's wack that askvins are lava immune but not fire immune

[willow raft]

Well getting hot coal thrown into your belly will hurt more then running over coal with hooves that are made for it.
Lava immune is probably why the damage is so low though.

make the walls steeper or extend the wood out to block them from getting onto land

[willow raft]

Walls or roof pieces at the edge of the pond.

[river leaf]

Hello, a friend is trying to launch the game from Xbox Game Pass (on PC)? A solution ?

[fringe sundial]

You could try searching/googleing the error itself. That last line and the negative number should give you a general idea what's going on.

If it's the first time since ashlands went live, and the error is basically saying "stop the program or wait", then try waiting for 5-10 minutes. Ashlands was huge and takes a while to load the first time.

[olive island]

@grave magnet @willow raft both great ideas. Thank you!

[rain stag]

What's the best light for the base in terms of performance?

[willow raft]

Dvergr lantern or the dvergr circlet from Haldor if I'm not mistaken, the less flickering flames and smoke particles produced the better.

[uncut mirage]

90 degree angles

[lilac moat]

how to turn hud back on if ctrl + F3 dont work

nvm it worttked

[last osprey]

Asksvin just have fire resistance, like pretty much everything in Ashlands. And the damage from lava bursts isn't all that high in the first place, it's mainly a threat because of the knockback and setting structures on fire.

[frail cave]

guys so how do i get more bag space than 300

[last osprey]

carry weight? buy the ||magic belt|| from ||Haldor||

[willow raft]

||A merchant called Haldor sells the meginjord which gives 150 more carryweight and that is the only thing that can help.
You find Haldor in the black forest 800+ meters out from spawn, so sail around and look for black forest when you see a sack appearing on the map / minimap you have found him and he can't spawn anywhere else.
You could use carts but they aren't all that handy.||

ty friends

also whats the best food combo for max stam and health

rn i have on me blood pudding and carrot soup

i remeber there use to be lox meat pies but cant find thjem anytmore

what biome are you currently in?

lox meat pie needs cloudberries, lox meat and barley flour. You'll have to have defeated Moder first.

i did all until mist land so i just cant remeber lol been sometime since i played

you can find all of this info on the wiki

[vague goblet]

It'll work but there are better ones out there, but they're all very similar in the concept. You'll want to enclose it the best you can so nothing kills your animals while they're breeding though 😉

[summer canyon]

most ethical valheim farm

[hardy plover]

Anyone knows how to farm a lot of red or blue jutes?

[rain stag]

If I am in a completely enclosed base with walls and a raid attacks, those enemies will try and batter down the walls?

[willow raft]

Yes, that is one of the reason I go for earthen walls, they will try and get over it but can't and they are stuck outside.
Might look ugly but it makes for a secure base.

[primal dove]

You can dress up the inside walls

Then at least it looks nice from within

[willow raft]

True.

[lilac estuary]

You can use carts as short-distance movable storage for building projects, or, say easing loading on/off ships. Actually, that kind of use is the only thing they are good for. Don't even try for long-haul transport, they are useless even with minor obstacles in the way (hoe can help, but will offset any time saved vs. making the trip on foot / ships).

I've once done a path in swamps from crypt to crypt and to shore to get all the iron to the ship, but I'm not sure if it was any faster than bringing all that iron on foot to the shore (it was faster when hauling the iron itself but all that leveling with the hoe...).

[glad finch]

Any tips for high instance bases post-build? Was kinda late in realizing that the number of instances significantly affects our fps. We're mostly done, so I was wondering if there was a way to alleviate fps issues, even through mods (maybe something like disabling the structural integrity check so CPU workload is a lot less?). Will tear down stuff using admin powers as a last resort as I didn't want to waste our hardwork.

As for specifics, instances would range between 12k-16k around the base. We're playing on a dedicated server. Base is located at the border of mountain, ocean(seaside), and plains biomes. My FPS would drop to 25-30, but players with lower end specs would have their fps drop to 10. We've limited tamed animals to 3 for each type. No fire sources apart from hearth, light sources are wisplights and dvergr lanterns.

[uncut mirage]

10,000 is limit for me and I have a pretty beefy rig

[tacit breach]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IBkMW39egU

That helps a lot of people with FPS issues.

A newer one was also listed, but I have not used it.

[uncut mirage]

but because I like graphics I keep my settings on ultra
I guess really low settings you could get way near 15k

[tacit breach]

They have optimized Valhem itself tons since it was released, so it may be settings in Discord, Steam, and even your server that are causing issues. The above video addresses pretty much everything. Not just your PC and game settings.

[thorny pond]

Question about chickens, do I have to be near for them to hatch just as like staying with boars to tame them?

henlo im Aidee, need help, i have a problem with Player List page, whenever i open Player List and try to click on BACK button, it is not working, and i need to force close my game to go back, Gamertag (Character name) kinda bug, we dont have friend with that ID, so anyone got same problem?

Detail: it is a server world, PBT ashland. The GamerTag (character name) it actually no one we know, Tomo sugio, Saprut and me aideeryushi is the only one play in the server.

[tacit breach]

Yes. Refer to the Valheim wiki for specifics.

[thorny pond]

does not say that a player needs to be near or not. Thats why I asked here

Thank you though

[dire sigil]

i think most animal you want to breed, you need to be close

[dire sigil]

also this bug happen recently, so i kinda curious, why suddenly there is dummy HOST. so i hop on here hope someone can help me. Thank you in advance

[thorny pond]

Yeah, which wiki does not specify that a player needs to be close so the hen matures or breeds.

[dire sigil]

yeah, well you can always try first.

im pretty sure my chicken need to be near.

wiki basically for guideline, the rest you need to try first

[thorny pond]

for modded, there isnt anyone really to help btw. Although I do hope you find someone who can help.

[dire sigil]

ah this is not modded tho, im in PBT, is it consider modded tho? this is basically global bug for me

im afraid someone troll and mess up with the server

[tacit breach]

It has the range in the table. Which applies to hens. The eggs need to be by a heat source.

I tore down most of my wood base and started rebuilding with stone. As you can see I don't have very much built just a few pillars and small floor space. For some reason now I'm getting massive frame drop when I get close to my base until I relog. Any ideas what might be causing that?

[hollow mantle]

How massive?

[terse cedar]

not massive at all

[hollow mantle]

I meant how massive is the frame drop?

[terse cedar]

oh, like 100fps

from 145-160 to 45ish

[hollow mantle]

Hmmm...are you playing with mods? How about multiplayer? On a local world or a dedicated server? How long does it take before the frame drops start occurring after you relog? Have you tried reducing your render settings or other graphical settings? Linux, Windows, Xbox?

[opal obsidian]

Can anyone explain this to me. I have been trying to start a new character but everytime as soon as I get the workbench and place it down, every build in the game unlocks. Stuff from every biome and things you only get at end game. What do I do to fix this?

[hollow mantle]

Mods?

[opal obsidian]

None that should unlock anything

[hollow mantle]

Hm...try removing all the mods first...or move this discussion to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

[vague goblet]

Could it be one of the world modifiers?

[hollow mantle]

Really, the best thing to try is removing all the mods first (even if they aren't the issue) just to verify it is happening on the vanilla game 1st, then troubleshooting it further.

[lethal imp]

how the hell do u do that

[drifting prawn]

how can i make an ashwood door fit? like what can i put above it to not have gaps, i dont see any arch thing i can build

nvm, just found ashwood arched wall mb

[warm zealot]

my map isn't accurate . i'm on land but map shows me on water

what is the problem

[hollow mantle]

This was a lot harder than I thought it would be but I finally settled on this method:

1. Go to "Steam\userdata<yourSteamID#>\892970\Remote" and make a backup of all these folders/files just in case something goes awry, you can restore it all later.
2. Open the "serverlist" folder and open the "recent" and "recent.old" files in notepad (or some other simple text editor). Highlight all the contents, delete it, and save them as blank files. NOTE: Deleting them didn't work, they just get restored by the cloud...you have to blank them out.
3. Launch the game and it should complain that the local files and the cloud files are out of sync and which ones you should choose...choose the LOCAL files and not the cloud files.
4. Verify the recent servers list is blank but everything else is the same. Launch into a game and verify everything is still working (it should be.)
5. Profit.

[drifting prawn]

This happened with all mods removed too

it just happened randomly while i was building in the night

[hollow mantle]

Probably best to submit a bug report to IG at https://valheim.com/support

It may just be a performance issue with the current build, and the only thing you can do is wait for an update.

[drifting prawn]

this has been happening for ages

i think last year too?

idk if its an issue with linux build or smth

[hollow mantle]

Does it slow down then speed up...or is it a constant slowing until it eventually crashes?

[drifting prawn]

neither

it starts perfect. then at some random time, the performance gets stuttery when i look around and stuff. this stays forever (or until i restart), it doesnt worsen

only when looking around

mainly at least (its worse when straight but similar enough)

[hollow mantle]

how long have you played before relogging to fix it? Minutes? Hours?

[drifting prawn]

probably like an hour

[hollow mantle]

Did you get a screenshot of the F2 screen while it's happening too?

[drifting prawn]

i sent one before too. and remember, kicking the other player did not help

[hollow mantle]

When I played on Linux, I noticed I would get periods of stuttering/FPS slowdown, but then it would snap back to normal after a few seconds...so I would see this constant wave between normal FPS and sluggish FPS that recurred like clockwork. I ended up just playing on Windows (same machine) and didn't have the same problem. So it could be a Linux thing...but probably submitting a bug to IG is the best thing to do and then hope someone either posts a fix, or they investigate it further and resolve it in a future patch.

[drifting prawn]

mhm

ill try some stuff myself first like launching with opengl not vulkan but if not ill tell them. thanks

[hollow mantle]

That's probably not what you were hoping to hear...sorry.

[drifting prawn]

no its okay dw. i was just hoping there was some way to debug performance

thank you for the help

[dreamy creek]

So my friend and I are playing on a dedicated server that we have running on the main branch but he was playing on the test branch and when the test branch got updated again he couldnt play on the server so he went to switch from the test branch to the main and his character isnt there and now it only appers on the test branch anyway to migrate his character to thew main branch?

[hollow mantle]

1. ) Make a backup of your character and world save.
   2.) Try restoring some of the old saves of the character (hopefully before the PTB updated).
   3.) In the future, when switching between PTB and normal game play, make a backup of your save files before you switch.
   4.) Or, you can just wait till the PTB and retail are the same version and then make sure both you and your friend are both on PTB or both on the normal versions at the same time.

[distant charm]

i cant seem to find any puffer fish in mistlands

[lucid quest]

Hey there!
Just a question: Does anyone else have problems with lags in the game (slideshows, sound lags: intermittent music and noise of trees, etc.)? The problem appeared last weekend. Reinstalling the game and deleting plugins did not help.

[subtle parrot]

Spawn blockers spanning a wide area

[subtle parrot]

Go closer to the ocean

[distant charm]

by boat?

[subtle parrot]

Not necessarily just don't try to find them in the middle of the biome, search near the shores or actually in the ocean, by boat is usually easier though

[subtle parrot]

Rarely I've found them with anglerfish, but they've been more plentiful actually in a boat on the ocean

[hollow mantle]

There have been reports of performance issues since the update. Are you on PTB? Linux, Windows, Xbox? Do you use mods?

[distant charm]

it feels like it instantly takes all my stamina

[subtle parrot]

Yup, the size and the biome level of the fish factor in to how catchable they are. The fishing skill takes a while to level up, but if you get that leveled up it does become increasingly easier to catch later game and larger fish.

[lucid quest]

I played released version, but at the moment i'm trying PTB.
Windows, no mods. Only basic plugins like equipment, farm + 2 plugins for NPC (but I also tried running the game without any of them)

[distant charm]

does the boat scare em

[hollow mantle]

Plugins?

[lucid quest]

Like "Equipment and Quick Slots", "Plant Everything"

[hollow mantle]

Those are mods.

[lucid quest]

Ah ok

[hollow mantle]

Anything that injects code into the base game is a mod.

[subtle parrot]

Not really, I usually jump out of the boat and climb back up the ladder so it stops completely. If you don't want to deal with the wet debuff you can either wait 2 minutes or let the boat drift. If it starts storming, sail around and wait for it to stop or go home and try again later. Cast as close to the boat as you can, casting further out is just a waste of stamina.

[hollow mantle]

Probably removing the mods first to verify it isn't the mods that is causing performance issues. If they are, then you can move the discussion to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 . If they are not, then you can continue the discussion here.

[lucid quest]

Ok. But hey worked fine, but over the past few days the game has become unplayable. No errors appeared in the Bepinex logs. And I deleted everything to test the game without them, but nothing changed

[subtle parrot]

There's also a pin in this channel to show how to completely remove them

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, I believe just disabling them isn't good enough, they have to be completely removed from the game.

[lucid quest]

I moved the bepinex folder to a higher level so that the game would launch without them. Is this not enough and I should do something else?

[distant charm]

do u know of a good wood/stone greydwarf farm? i saw some use puffer fish others use the blood skellies

Oh, missed the BepInEx in the title...https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 is probably a better fit. THis channel is for vanilla builds only.

[subtle parrot]

I don't make farms like that personally, so I'm not familiar with the set up, sorry

[thorny pond]

Ashlands question ||I just killed the Queen, and had an Ashlands raid on my base even though just made the shield generator and was 10/10 and they spawned inside the barrier, is that suppose to happen?||

[terse cedar]

For posterity, I noticed there were mod updates available, and after updating them, this spam stopped

[final zinc]

Hi guys, can someone help me? I can’t break this specific area. I’ve tried mining here, but it won’t break.

There are several stripes of this on my map ''obs: my map is old ''

[subtle parrot]

Hard to tell, but looks like plains? I think it might be a bug

[final zinc]

creat a new map?

[subtle parrot]

Not sure if that would help, I think it's a generation bug, i know it was world wide in all biomes there was a bug with chunk lines, it may be something to do with that

[subtle parrot]

But you could definitely try making a new world and going to a plains and looking to see if the ground had those lines in it there too, i know it's in several of my worlds in the plains only

[final zinc]

My house too...

[subtle parrot]

Ah if you've dug that down with a pickaxe, you've probably got the bottom of 8m you can dig down

[fallow hedge]

keep running into this and then it freezes on the valheim screen, pre-main menu

tried redownloading valheim, loading vanilla and different mod lists

NEVERMIND it just took 10 minutes to load for whatever reason

[mortal dragon]

xbox had an update on the public test branch that hasnt been pushed to the main game, is there a way to leave PTB and keep PTB character i tried to leave and it wiped my gear

[hollow mantle]

See this post: #xbox-bugs-discussion message

[prisma river]

what recipes do i need to make armour with black metal?

[fringe sundial]

I believe there isn't a blackmetal (using) armor. the heavy armor for the plains is called padded armor and uses iron. The wiki can give you a lot of details.

[prisma river]

oooh okay thank you

[rain stag]

Multiple Sap Extractors work sequentially on roots right? One needs to fill up fully before they start working

[buoyant peak]

They all extract based on their individual timers

[tacit breach]

Anyone know why all of a sudden the game is telling my wife that I am running an older version of Valheim, so she cannot join my server, that I am running within Steam?

[prisma lynx]

is there some trick to lox taming that im missing? ive had 2 of them in a hole with cloudberries FOREVER and they won't tame. I don't even get the percentage tamed progression.

[fringe sundial]

check the wiki on how to tame and know you need to be kinda close for it to happen and have the game active.

[prisma lynx]

yup ive done all that

[fringe sundial]

are the 2 of you both on steam?

[fringe sundial]

they might be agro(ed) by something and just not showing it...I have only tamed pigs so I am not sure on the specifics for a lox.

[tacit breach]

Yeah. I think we found the issue. Her Valheim updated today, mine has not. So I am doing a reinstall.

[fringe sundial]

easy fix thankfully.

good luck.

[tacit breach]

It is STILL telling her I am running an older copy.

[fringe sundial]

fudge nuggets. not sure if she can roll back to a prior version or not to match you. might just have to wait it out.

[tacit breach]

It has to be something about Steam.

[plush hill]

anybody know any good way to farm anglerfish? im trying that way of building a platform and let them jump, but no fish is jumping in them so RIP

[halcyon crag]

is one of you on PTB version and one not?

[tawdry crypt]

hello, i am having the run and jump glitch where when i sprint i cant jump or swap weapons have verified the files and didn't fix anything, I tried using another keyboard and my key bindings are default in game, if anyone had this problem or fixed it pls help, thank you

[halcyon crag]

they are awful to farm xD best way is to get a raft, and just park over the ones you want to catch, or try from the shoreline, they are a pain fr

[plush hill]

oh boy xd

[subtle parrot]

Fishing raft ftw

[plush hill]

anybody know the deth that fish need to spawn? and, do fish have spawn blocked like other mobs with benchs ports etc? or buildings doesnt block fish spawns? i wanna test some things to try to build something functional

i just raised a pound with fish, took all of them and now lower it back only 1 time and im waiting for them to respawn

[halcyon crag]

benches block spawns still yes

[plush hill]

of fishes? nice to know that

[halcyon crag]

if it blocks the spawn point nothing can spawn not even birds

[compact heath]

just double checking bees will not be happy in swamp yeah?

too busy to test because I m getting 3 chests of wood

[halcyon crag]

i think it says they don't like the environment or some such ye

[tacit breach]

No. We have been playing this for weeks. Only thing we had noted was I was last updated on the 14th, and she was updated today. So I did the reinstall, and it still says I am playing an older version when she tries to sign into the server.

[halcyon crag]

can you compare version numbers?

[tacit breach]

We can, but not now. She put that laptop away for the night.

We were going to do the match when she noticed she had been updated today.

[halcyon crag]

yeh strange, see what the version numbers kick up when you have chance

[tacit breach]

I will. They should match since I did the reinstall. Should be the most up to date version now. Still, something isn't matching up, some where.

[halcyon crag]

odd that your version is saying out of date when it's clearly not

[tacit breach]

Its her laptop saying it. I am guessing some kind of communication issue with Steam. Even though we did full restarts of our platforms. So cache, etc... should have been cleared.

Hopefully it will magically work tomorrow.

[gentle harbor]

is there a command to stop enemies from spawning? i know theres ghost to stop them from seeing u but i wanna build in a creative world with no enemies

like as in make the world empty with a command

[fringe sundial]

not that I am aware of. there is always the "killenemies" command though.

just don't use kill or killall because your tames will die too.

[rain stag]

I'm surprised that there's no upgrade for Arablast. what's its good for anyway other than not being as stamina intensive?

[fringe sundial]

no drop (in flight path) for the bolt unlike arrows, larger single shot damage(i think). I think there is a upgrade in ashlands.

[prisma river]

best way to get chains?

[marble roost]

Go to swamp at night and kill wraiths

[fringe sundial]

set up a bunch of braziers in a small area, kite night wraiths in the swamp and watch them float down into the fires....and profit.

[prisma river]

whas a brazier? i forgot

[hardy falcon]

Can anyone help me out with fixing an issue on pc gamepass? I seem to be unable to find my character in the selection, but i can pull up the saves and back stuff up, but no matter what i do it won’t let me even see i have the character in the selection screen

[grave ferry]

Can anyone tell me why my bees would need more space than this? I had them closer before, but had to move them and now the one on the left, out of the corner, is the only one with enough room. The ground is all level and they are spaced away from the building (2) 1x1 blocks away.

[pliant lodge]

is there an overhanging tree nearby? i'm not sure why else they'd be unhappy

[grave ferry]

Yeah, no trees and no building overhands.

[pliant lodge]

that's really weird then 😦

[vague goblet]

When you moved them did you build that wall behind them higher?

[grave ferry]

That's what I thought as well. I have never had this issue before and it is so damn frustrating.

[grave ferry]

The wall was never there, but they were next to a full-height wall last time.

[vague goblet]

I'm not sure but I had a similar issue when I placed them near a very tall cliffside

A cliffside I built on*

[hardy falcon]

Can someone please help me with this, i want to be able to play the game and not have to be annoyed by bugs like that

[grave ferry]

You are correct. It was the building walls. This is pretty dumb. Thank you.

[prisma river]

how do i fish

[vague goblet]

No problem, I hope the bees are happy now.

[marble roost]

Need to find a guy who sells a fishing rod

[fringe sundial]

The only thing that comes to mind is a version issue. IE: if that character was on PTB and the LIVE version was a different version. I have seen that kind of complaint.

the only fix for that specific issue that i mentioned was to either wait or load a backup from before the change in version happened. the exact details of how, i don't know since I never had this issue myself.

[fringe sundial]

either find the blackforest merchant that the raven hints at, or get lucky in the mountains with a frost cave.

[hardy falcon]

I just tried loading a further back save, that worked, thank you so much

[fringe sundial]

np. I take a little joy when my time here becomes a solution for someone's issues (even though i am just another player like you) simply because I read a solution at some point.

[prisma river]

thanks

what bow is after Draugar

[neon onyx]

Bonesnap?

[fringe sundial]

likely "bonesnap" or the crossbow. it should be on the wiki, unless it is ashlands content, then it might not be up to date yet.

[velvet tusk]

am i able to log into someone elses server to craft items/upgrade my stuff and then log back into my server or into my friends?

[fierce trench]

Do ⭐ ⭐ boars appear only at night if you don't find one early on at the runestones?

[terse cedar]

what's the best way to get ||silver down from the mountain||?

[sudden quest]

What am I missing? It's impossible for me to get to the Ashlands. Its all big spikes that I can't get the boat past. There is no way what I am experiencing is intended gameplay this is the most annoying area of a game to navigate that I have ever seen.

[amber vortex]

Do fish from more advanced biomes give more raw fish than firsh from earlier biomes? Or is fish level the only thing that determines the amount of raw fish?

[last osprey]

You're supposed to maneuver your way through the spikes (it's possible, just tedious. Try going in reverse).
Alternatively you can just drop anchor right there and jump from spire to spire with the feather cape until you reach land. Just don't get knocked off by voltures.

[crude dove]

Does anyone have concrete tips for hitting the beach in a new Ashlands island and getting up your first wall and portal reliably? We have had three smooth ones after a rocky start on three small islands with no metal and then overwhelming numbers on the most recent try on a bigger one. I feel like it's just utter chaos and so disheartening to need to rebuild boat gear and mats to try again

Literally killed fifteen mobs and died to 25 more

Something like 6 of each type of charred, 2 waves of 3 voltures killed, 6 blobs interspersed all we didn't see was a beach morgen

Watched some streams and literally looks like they struggle worse than us with a tenth of the mobs or they cheat for tips content

Is there any video content of non cheating build order with a nighttime landing?

[vestal coral]

Try not to land nighttime is my first tip... Second one would be to try and find a landing spot that has no monsters where you land and where there is no lava close to the shore. If you happen to find a dvergr house on the beach with some ruins around it, that could prove to be a nice landing area.. WHERE you make a beachhead is of a paramount importance from my experience; some landing spots are very quiet and calm, others are chaotic and full of neverending spawns

[crude dove]

Is there a way to tell without ramming the beach? Our worst ones have been maybe 1-2 guys visible and then the waves never stop

Why is lava extra bad?

[vestal coral]

I've deducted that Asksvins often spawn next to lava and those are a nightmare to have as neighbours because they spawn in 3's and their attacks destroy the surrounding structures (your base). Morgens are horrible neighbours aswell so to minimize the odds of having a Morgen spawn right next to your base, don't land near a Putrid Hole... Other than that it's a bit of a gamble but the general quantity of mobs in sight when landing is a good indicator of the busyness in the area, not 100% by no means but if it's quiet, there is a good chance it won't be too crowded later either.

One thing's for sure though, it's nigh impossible to find a spot with 0 spawns. If nothing else, Charred spawn spontaneously pretty much everywhere so they are a constant nuisance. One of the big reasons you get crowded when you land and start building is that if you make a sound (pickaxe, hoe, axe, etc) it will draw in monsters from all around the area

[crude dove]

Yeah I had read that. Kind of impossible to avoid an amount of it when doing any of the base related tasks but will try to minimize it

[vestal coral]

Yep that's true. If at all possible I would probably build a quick portal first, maybe ontop of a big rock or such or below an overhang if you happen to have one where you land, teleport to base to get rid of night and to get rested buff, and to have a way back if you happen to die... Portals (the normal ones) also get destroyed by raining fire (unless you can drop a shield generator at landing aswell) but it might stay up for long enough to give you a few attempts at clearing the worst of it so you can start building

The monsters spawn several times a day so there will always be some fighting involved during the building process but when you first draw in the big crowd with noise and manage to kill them, it'll be a bit quieter for a little while before respawns so you can make all the noise you want for a sec

[crude dove]

Thanks!

[vestal coral]

Np np

[frail cave]

Omggg no way they added new petal to
The gameee let’s gooo

How do I unlock it guys

[dreamy hearth]

Okay, is it normal that when using a World Modifier preset, is it normal for all the needed settings to activate when restarting a save? Even if you used a console command to remove one of the settings for the preset?
An example would be Immersive mode. It keeps the new Ashlands fire setting on by default. I turned off that fire effect after my Meadows base tried to burn itself down, and I remember saving it that way.
When I loaded up the save later on, the fire effect was activated again, even though I removed it and saved the game without it on prior.

[arctic gate]

is there a way to fix my map? It shows part of the world as the ocean while I am obviously not in the ocean.

[quartz cairn]

try to delete the *Cache files from your worlds folder (always make backups first!).

[arctic gate]

ok, i'll attemp this. Thanks

[arctic gate]

I found my cache folder after a bit of searching which did still have several of my old mods still in there so i think that helps in the long run but it didn't fix my map issue. Do you have any other ideas?

[terse cedar]

wolf and lox capes basicaly same?

[small swift]

Just delete all of them in the manage saves section, that's great.

[frail cave]

guys where do i make or get molten core ?

[subtle parrot]

||Putrid holes, and fortresses || @frail cave

[subtle parrot]

Yeh pretty much

[cinder socket]

So

trying to figure out how to add an admin account to my nitrado valheim server if anyone knows nitrado

the one issue is that I play on console/Xbox and it asks for my steamID

[terse cedar]

is it normal for|| moder to be surrounded by mistlands?||

[frail cave]

guys what do i need to summon the boss in the mist lands

[inner trellis]

Is it a common thing for my old world's mistlands area to be regenerated or something after the ashlands update? my base there is suddenly all broken underwater.

this whole place where my base was is now underwater :/

[vestal coral]

Some areas of the world (especially those closer to the south part of the world from my understanding) were regenerated for Ashlands

[inner trellis]

yes but this is up north

no ashlands nearby

[frail cave]

guys i need some help i cant seem to find the boss for mistlands someone please share the loaction

[inner trellis]

location depends on your world seed

[halcyon crag]

next best thing for that would prolly be the world modifier to make all mobs passive, it doesn't remove them but they won't attack at all

[halcyon crag]

sealbreaker/soldier trophies

[halcyon crag]

sharp elbows

[open rampart]

hey guys, we've built a barn for our boars, it has no floor, it has stone walls with wood on the inside and a sloped roof. The boars seem happy, and they reproduce but at very slow rate. I remember reading that roofs supposed to prevent boars from reproducing, but that was from a 3yr old article. In our case they do reproduce but at very slow rate. Is that still connected with the sloped roofs as it was 3yrs ago?

[halcyon crag]

nope, you can find those in daytime

[halcyon crag]

roof can affect them is it's too low, but what yr describing sounds like they are hitting the population limit for the area yr keeping them in

[open rampart]

can we keep boars and wolves in the same area? they gonna have separate population limit for each of the species right?

[frail cave]

guys what would u say is the best weapon and armor set for the ash lands i am just about to start that biom

so i only have mistland stuff on me rn

[compact heath]

happened around Deep North as well

[compact heath]

Mistwalker is great, Staff of Embers too (alongside protection and frost), Silver Sword can still hold up too especially against Charred etc. For Armour go carapace or eitr weave depending on what playstyle you use. mage is not super viable until you get some ashlands stuff like the staff of the wild and the new capes help too

[frail cave]

okay thanks for the great tips so about the armor i want to tank and have some nice stam to and what food combo would you reccommend

[compact heath]

if you're not using any magic you'll have to decide between either 2 health and 1 stamina food or 1 health and 2 stamina, tricky to figure what suits you better

for tanking probably 2 health, so use misthare supreme, honey glazed chicken and mushroom omelette

salad and meat platter as alternatives for stam and health respectively

[willow raft]

Yes, land near the north and south got regenerated.

[frail cave]

hmm weird did i miss something i dont see the honey glazed chicken

like in the culdorn

[compact heath]

have you harvested chicken meat? and also need honey for it

and jotun puffs i think

[frail cave]

dang super weird i have all 3 items still dont see the recipe for it on the culdorn

i thought the owen had a menue but i cant seem to open it

[compact heath]

and if you can make the other mistlands food that means you cooking station is also high enough level

also its called "Uncooked honey glazed chicken"

[frail cave]

i cant thats the thing

what level does the culdron have to be mine is level 4 rn

[compact heath]

I think 5 is mistlands food I thought

[frail cave]

dang so what upgrade am i missing Oo

[compact heath]

let me look it up rq

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

[frail cave]

yoo i got it it was the motor i forgot to make it dangg i missed so many food thank god for ash lands i came back to the game hehe

[compact heath]

have you got mortar and pestle?

also ashlands will have another update for it, there is I believe 3 things or so from ashlands that you can make without the ashlands cauldron update, when you have the materials

[frail cave]

yeah thanks i got it i can see the recipes u said now

[compact heath]

Food is very powerful, on my latest playthrough I used swamp foods for killing Elder and for some of the black forest progression, just needed to sneak some turnips seeds from the swamp that was all

[frail cave]

nice thats awesome

also what would be a good shiled the blackmetal one is still good over there?

[willow raft]

Same with having armor that is above the normal progression, like getting obsidian for the workbench the moment you have an iron pickaxe.

[compact heath]

for parry the carapace buckler is GOAT

[frail cave]

thanks also for the cape i think i wont be able to use the feather anymore cause it will take more fire dagmage?

[compact heath]

can still use it, especially wiuth barley wine

but the new capes are amazing

[frail cave]

anyone know how to fix the vanilla+ mod not responding to the new patch? Or is this up to the vanilla+ makers?

[frail cave]

where do i unlock them in the ash lands i guess? also how do i make barely wine i am playing after al ong time lol

[compact heath]

all the ashlands capes are great in their own right, also also feather with barley wine

[compact heath]

yeah ashlands capes unlocked in ashlands, barley wine you make at cauldron with barley and cloudberries, needs to be fermented in a fermenter (build with 30 fine wood, 10 resin and 5 bronze) but you should already have one still haha

[compact heath]

https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

[frail cave]

waht is the food combo if i want to tank and have stam

whatst the two health food and then the stam

i got the chicken

[compact heath]

2 health and 1 stam is like misthare supreme, honey glazed chicken and mushroom omelette is one version

for the omelette need a lot of eggs of course

is best pre ashlands stamina food

[frail cave]

misthare supreme what are the items needed for this and the mushroom omlet i have a few eggs on me

hey i got it fro mthe wiki ^)^

[compact heath]

hare meat, jotun puffs, carrots, eggs

In my newest play through (my 10th) I am keeping a big chest of carrots aside for later ^^

currently in the swamp with it, killed ashlands boss in 9th playthrough

[frail cave]

dang nice congrats lol i just started a carrot farm didnt know it would be op later on

need to go back to ash lands for jotun puffs

[compact heath]

mistlands you mean

jotun puffs are required for a lot of mistlands food

Ashlands has its own new vegetables of course

[frail cave]

dangg nice ill go get some puffs

[distant charm]

how long does it take for items dropped by monster to despawn in a workbench area

[lilac coyote]

It won't.

[distant charm]

ever?

[lilac coyote]

No, base items will prevent despawning.

[fringe sundial]

I must have misread the wiki recently then....I'll have to look it up again and see where my memory failed me.

To quote the wiki (where I misremembered): Prevents items from despawning after being 1 hour on the ground (unless under 2 meters of water).

So under normal conditions, if the drop was on the ground away from a player base item, it would take a hour of time to despawn.

[lilac coyote]

2 ingame days, yeah.

[dapper gate]

depends

[lilac coyote]

No.

[dapper gate]

is it single player or dedicated server

[fringe sundial]

Servers could have altered rules, true.

[willow raft]

Unless the item is in 2+ meters of water.

[fringe sundial]

That was in the quote, about water.
