[copper raven]

right, thats as id expect it. Dont actually do things you cant see in realtime, just simulate the diff when you look at them next.

[dense adder]

Oh yeah that may be it

[copper raven]

@dense adder unleess you or someone else made a duplicate of the worldfile in a different directory... its unlikely. But it happed to me recently so i figured id mention it

maybe try finding your worldfiles and go through the backups to see if one is the right state of evolution for you

[crystal kiln]

processing that would cause a massive load on the computer on larger worlds so ye

[echo ore]

Ok, so I'm order to build a rather large house with a basement, I used the hoe to raise up a large section of ground, then bring down a large section of ground that was uphill. Now, I have what looks like a very large perfectly smooth sloped foundation leading up to the house. I don't like the look of this, and I want to "re-naturalize" the look of this "foundation". Are they any tips on how to do this? Do I just run around with the hoe raising the ground in random places to provide more rough contours?

[frosty frost]

try to do something with a hoe while holding shift 🙂 its allows you to level the ground to the level you are looking at instead of the level you are standing at, pretty great at "naturalizing" stuff 🙂

[mellow lodge]

does a wisp fountain only attract wisps in the mistlands? or can it work anywhere?

i just made 2 in the meadows base, and will wait until night

[frosty frost]

anywhere, it just needs darkness, that is in night and in rain, so in swamps they atract wisps constantly

[echo ore]

Okay cool!

[brave flume]

Hello, I'm having an issue with my Valheim version reading "Version 1-0.218.19". This is making it impossible for me to play on servers and I'm not sure what's causing this. Any help would be appreciated.

[frosty frost]

maybe the servers are on different version

[brave flume]

Is it normal for a version number to read "1-0"?

[frosty frost]

will check

hmm, i dont have the 1 there

maybe try re-instal?

[brave flume]

I've done a clean reinstall and its still present

[frosty frost]

wait, i will try to go on live version, lets see if its there

[lament sluice]

I host a server for my friends and they experience lag every now and then. Is it my fault or its because of their pc/net?

[frosty frost]

not present on live either

i will also try vulcan

nah, not there

[brave flume]

I don't know what caused it, I just want to figure out how to change it back to this

[lament sluice]

I host a server for my friends and they experience lag every now and then. Is it my fault or its because of their pc/net?

[echo ore]

ok, THAT'S not creepy at all...

[sudden galleon]

🤣 thats Odin watchin you 😂

[echo ore]

lol! oh. maybe i shouldn't have tried to shoot it with an arrow then...

[sudden galleon]

omg your doom

🤣

just kidding your fine he would have bring hell on me if that was a thing

[echo ore]

phew!

[winged solstice]

should i choose lightning or nature slayer gem? i forgot two handed swords exist and saw a friend hit a thrust for 700 damage and that looked beautiful, so i want to try out warrior for a bit to enjoy the big hits. i have jade and lolite, but not sure which one benefits more from the on-hit proc effects.

[true steeple]

Jade would be better against strong single enemies such as a starred charred warrior, and iolite is better for groups

[winged solstice]

is locking them in really good? could they turn around and still deck ya?
better for groups eh? maybe i can make berserkir axes and make them iolite for hit and runs

[true steeple]

Immobilized enemies can't turn or move

And because they can't turn you can easily attack them without triggering their attacks

[winged solstice]

nice. i could get some cheap shots in in that case. i like the idea of that

[sonic summit]

what should i put in the storage? just going for serpents and levithians

[rugged onyx]

Is there any mod or setting or a way to edit game to make nighttime brigther? My vision is pretty bad cant see darkened things anymore like its just moving clouds. Other games i often got to edit some files to modify the % on darkening at nighttime.

[sonic summit]

your monitor settings?

brigthness

[rugged onyx]

Its a prwetty bad idea to fiddle with those every 5 Minutes

[sonic summit]

is this okay?

[rugged onyx]

My visison isnt regular anymore if i make it too bright i partly shift my problems to daytime as it gets tooo bright.

[true steeple]

Have you found turnips yet? That food will be ok for serpents, but you need turnips to make serpent stew

[sonic summit]

yeah i got like more than 2 stacks

and like 2 stacks are growing rn

am i ready to go?

and do i use axe secondary on serpents?

[true steeple]

Serpents only spawn in rain or at night, and serpents spawned at night will despawn at day
Use a bow for the serpents

[sonic summit]

alr

i dont got the iron bow tho is that okay?

[true steeple]

It could be raining in the ocean if it's not raining at your base, because the weather is different for every biome
The finewood bow is good, serpents are balanced to be fought with black forest equipment

[sonic summit]

alr then ill go show thoose serpents whos the king

[true steeple]

You might not need a harpoon if you can lure them towards land. Remember you can build a ladder to dive for sunken scales

[sonic summit]

...

gotta break it now

can i build top of levithians?

[true steeple]

No

[sonic summit]

i think this boat will break before i even go to a ocean

[true steeple]

If it's too close to land the waves will make it hit the terrain

[sonic summit]

im like playing a dont touch the spikes inside the water and dont touch the sides game right now

and necks

WHAT DO I DO

TROLL

[true steeple]

Just sail past it

[sonic summit]

BOAT HEALTH IS ALREADY AT HALF

[true steeple]

You can place a workbench to repair it at any time

[sonic summit]

I GOT STUCK THO

ill kill the troll first

i planned whats gonna happen help

[late hawk]

I would jump off the boat to the shore where the troll is at, fight him in the forest and thus avoid damage to the boat.

[sonic summit]

alr

mission succesfull

fianlly

is that it?

its very close to land tho

ill go check

it wasnt it

fianlly

lets goo

this is moving what

WHAT ITS SWIMMING

I JUST MINED 3 AND IT JUST DIVED IN

this is scary is 36 enough?

[buoyant nexus]

enough for what

[sonic summit]

harpoon

[sonic summit]

alr nice

[buoyant nexus]

wiki is a great source of information

[sonic summit]

alr ill search it this time

[hollow mantle]

Haha, yeah, they dive after a while. I mean, if you were a giant turtle, and some oik were hitting your back with a pickaxe… what would you do?!

[sonic summit]

id eat his boat glad he didnt do that

[buoyant nexus]

sadly the harpoon is absolut awful to use.

[sonic summit]

it started raining while i was just leaving ocean should i got for serpents?

[buoyant nexus]

not if you only have this bow

[sonic summit]

alr then

[buoyant nexus]

it can frick you up badly

then you have to build another ship to get your stuff. isnt worth it

since the good parts you want willl fall to the ground of the ocean. you need a good plan

[hollow mantle]

Fine wood bow is ok against a serpent, but I would try to lure it to shore, rather than fight it in the ocean.

[buoyant nexus]

its ok if you have aimbot otherwise you need too long Id say.

[hollow mantle]

It mostly comes down to what arrows you use.

[buoyant nexus]

yeah, only one type is great.

she has 400 health. dunno how many hits you need with the arrow

[hollow mantle]

A few.

[buoyant nexus]

another thing Id like to know which dmg number counts. the bows dmg or the arrow dmg or both with a weird formula

[hollow mantle]

Both, they’re combined.

[buoyant nexus]

so they just add?

[hollow mantle]

I think the bow pierce is summed with the arrow pierce component. To give the base pierce damage to which the skill adjustment is applied. Likewise for any additional damage done by the bow or arrow types.

So, yeah, they just add.

Also, for me, the meat is much more important than the scales. At least until you get to a later biome.

[buoyant nexus]

not worth the risk if you play vanilla version imo

[hollow mantle]

But it’s fun!

[buoyant nexus]

sure but you cant have fun if you stop playing because everything you worked for is on the ocean. xD

like my mates jumped into a Fortress. died another 3 times and wait now for me to rescue them

I just landed in ashlands.

but the are away for weeks now. 😦

[stuck finch]

guys how do i unlock finewood bow

[buoyant peak]

Finewood, corewood and deer hide

[frosty frost]

finewood and deer hide you will find in meadows and core wood in black forest 🙂

[true steeple]

Serpents are balanced for black forest equipment, you’re supposed to be using a finewood bow or better

[buoyant nexus]

hmn. maybe I have very low skill in aiming but on Sea we couldnt kill it without getting arbalest first.

and the reward is Mistland-like not black Forest like Id say

[subtle parrot]

They are very killable with black forest gear, I've even killed one with a crude bow, but only because I had lured it into the shallows. But yes, the food is very op for early game, more on par with plains tier imo though. But that's the high reward for the high risk of going out on the ocean and fighting serpents

[frosty frost]

well you can actually eat it onaly after you get iron, but its still great 🙂

[subtle parrot]

Also true, I always forget about that part lol

[buoyant nexus]

it has 400 health, If you are far on sea without shore it can be very fast over.

[subtle parrot]

When that's the case, turn and burn with the wind at your back, you can usually outrun them enough to make it some semblance of land, though I haven't ran from one in a karve in a good while so idr if that still pertains

[buoyant nexus]

ye, yet I wouldnt recommand it to new players hunting serpents, especially not without a plan and surely not with a finewood bow.

[keen relic]

anyone willing help me for building small castle home?

dm me pls

[sonic summit]

do i go for bonemass right now?

i got no serpent shield tho couldnt find them

@true steeple

[true steeple]

You could, but you might be better rolling through the attacks than blocking them with your old shield
You might want the serpent shield later in the game to fight Fader, the seventh boss.

[sonic summit]

whatt i will use the same shield till the 7th boss??

that shield should be real good then

[true steeple]

Is has pierce resistance and almost all of Fader’s blockable damage has pierce, against other bosses it isn’t as effective

I tried using serpent shield + root harnesk for pierce resistance² against him earlier today and most blocked hits did less then 1 damage

[sonic summit]

have you ever tried beating bonemass with my setup?

[true steeple]

Iron mace + banded shield or serpent scale shield is what I always use

And the serpent meat and stew will increase your max health significantly, making you almost invincible

[sonic summit]

alr ill go for serpents once more

[true steeple]

Have you made a harpoon yet, or are you just going to lure them to the beach?

[sonic summit]

i did

i saw 2 levithians today and that was scary they almsot crushed my boat

got like 36 chitins

should i make a iron mace?

[true steeple]

You don’t need to but it will help for bonemass and the troll-equivalent enemies in mountains

[sonic summit]

wolfs?

[true steeple]

No they’re the common enemies. Stone golems.

[sonic summit]

ooh yeah i know thoose

[true steeple]

You’ll also need an iron pickaxe to break silver ore.

[sonic summit]

are they hostile?? i thought they were like the miencraft iron golem they dont do until you do something

[true steeple]

Stone golems are part of the forest faction so they’ll attack all mountains enemies and you on sight.

[sonic summit]

i readed an nordic book and loki had childs from an stone golem

or snow idk

how do i make an iron cooking station

[true steeple]

Chains and iron

[sonic summit]

i dont see it in my recipeies

[true steeple]

It’s in the crafting tab

[sonic summit]

oooh thisss

[mellow lodge]

what do people think, should i explore northwest, or maybe edge the plains? trying to find POI in mistlands: #screenshots message

[true steeple]

Sail around the coast to find how big the biome is, if it’s too small it won’t be worth exploring

[mellow lodge]

hmm. that's a good idea. is it relatively "safe" to sail a longship in the mistlands mist? i felt blind as hell. or should i go outside of the mist areas completely?

[true steeple]

There’s no need to sail that close to the land

[mellow lodge]

okay, yeah. i was inbetween the mistland rock islands.

i'll do a bigger loop outside

[buoyant nexus]

Can I ride through the Stone Gate?

[sonic summit]

itd be faster if you tried it

@true steeple ive hunted a fair bit of serpents and got myself an iron cooking station and lvl 2 serpent shield should i make new food with serpent and midium healing meads or just go it with my current food

[true steeple]

Use serpent stew instead of whatever health food you would use otherwise

[arctic magnet]

The beauty of Valheim is....there's no one way to play it. The idea is to have fun!

[sonic summit]

alr

do i cook all of them?

or is there something with raw serpent meat too?

[crystal kiln]

raw serpent has no use

[sonic summit]

alr thanks

should i go for this build?

@true steeple

[true steeple]

Yes, that’s perfect

[crystal kiln]

thats basically 4 foods...

[sonic summit]

aight thanks

[sonic summit]

how

[true steeple]

The serpent stew is very strong for swamp, so it’s like 2 health 2 stamina

[crystal kiln]

serpent stew has basically twice the stats of your current stuff

[hollow mantle]

Serpent Stew is Plains level food you can get at Swamp tier. So two biomes ‘early’.

[sonic summit]

id say 2 health but not 2 stamina like half stamina

[crystal kiln]

it actually ties mistlands...

[jaunty kayak]

rate this

i have got mental breakdance

[hollow mantle]

It’s that same stats as Lox Pie, no?

[crystal kiln]

anakin on mustafar/10

[crystal kiln]

ties meat platter

also beats lox pie by 5 health 3 stamina and 1 regen

@hollow mantle

[jaunty kayak]

guys i really need your help

[hollow mantle]

Oh, yeah, you’re right, Meat Platter.

[true steeple]

What with?

[jaunty kayak]

i need yall to rate my Terraria base

[true steeple]

[sonic summit]

alr then you rate mine

i rate yours u rate mine after

[jaunty kayak]

Thank you.

[crystal kiln]

serpent stew is pretty busted xd

[jaunty kayak]

but hold on just a sec

[sonic summit]

same gotta open terraria rq

[jaunty kayak]

fr

[sonic summit]

come to #screenshots

what do you think

[jaunty kayak]

Tbh aint that bad

[sonic summit]

rating?

[jaunty kayak]

But its so solid

[sonic summit]

wym so solid

[jaunty kayak]

Too much one block (snow)

[sonic summit]

its a snow base tho

[jaunty kayak]

Ikr but too much one block

[sonic summit]

you cant say a snow man has too much snow on it

[jaunty kayak]

I meant like use other blu/white similiar blocks

Hold on finna find the world with mine

[sonic summit]

yeah kinda true but i didnt really have all the blocks

[jaunty kayak]

My tmodloader crashed

[sonic summit]

rip

[jaunty kayak]

My base is too much for my screen

Too big i mean

[true steeple]

Use screenshot mode

[jaunty kayak]

Finna do it

[real nebula]

@sonic summit @jaunty kayak Probably keep the Terraria convo in #general or DMs

[jaunty kayak]

Calm down damn

[jaunty kayak]

doesnt work

[sonic summit]

blob can you rate my base too

[true steeple]

7/10? I don’t usually build much

[sonic summit]

thanks

am i alr?

[true steeple]

For bonemass? Yes

[buoyant nexus]

is it true that I need 67k hits with Staff of frost to level elemtal magic to lvl 50?

[sonic summit]

i even got soe preperation for mountains lol

should i use my mid meads or low health meads

[buoyant nexus]

stamina mead for escaping from wolves

[sonic summit]

should i go for bonemass today or tmrw?

[jaunty kayak]

couldnt get more of screenshot cause game crashing so all i got is this #screenshots

[rugged haven]

Is there any way to 'opt-out' of the spinning portal loading screen? Since my loading takes an average of 3-5 Minutes (i'm still trying to figure out why my loading takes so long, even on lowest graphic settings) it messes with my sense of balance.

[true steeple]

It’s best to fight bosses as soon as you wake up so you have more time before night

[mellow lodge]

I wake up and spend a few minutes at the boss altar making a ton of noise to clear any random mobs

[sonic summit]

true i chose to do it tmrw too

[mellow lodge]

Chop trees, smack my hammer. Make sure there's nothing around.

[true steeple]

Remember to flatten the ground so none of the water near the altar is too deep

[vagrant bobcat]

no iron mace or at least better lvl of bronze mace?

[sonic summit]

got 2 lvl mace

[vagrant bobcat]

yea i noticed

but only bronze one

but i guess it should be enough.. id get it to lvl 3 at least personally

[jaunty kayak]

How to give my friend admin

[lilac coyote]

Add his Steam ID to admimlist.txt

[jaunty kayak]

Only way?

Cause my friend is too stupid for files

[lilac coyote]

Fortunately you have to do it, not him.

[jaunty kayak]

But he owns a world

[lilac coyote]

Then why are you asking how to give him admin?

[jaunty kayak]

So i can led him

[echo ore]

so i just killed The Elder for the first time. i got a swamp key, so i guess i need to go track down a swamp. but was i supposed to get any other hints from the crow?

[jaunty kayak]

Your good just go to nearest swamp you discover and there will be more himts from hugin, but idk tho

[shut holly]

I don't think so. you'll see him less as you get further

[echo ore]

yeah. indeed

haven't seen him for quite some time now

[jaunty kayak]

First time on the swamp?

[echo ore]

yes

don't know where it is

[true steeple]

Sail around and look for big dead trees

[echo ore]

ok, cool

[true steeple]

Also, ferment some poison resistance meads

[jaunty kayak]

Yeah, or use valheim world generator if your lazy

[echo ore]

nah, no cheating my first time through

but that is a super cool website!

[jaunty kayak]

I wouldnt say its cheating but huge respect

[true steeple]

If you don’t mind, could you send a screenshot of your inventory? I’m just curious to see what you’ve got

[echo ore]

sure

[jaunty kayak]

Dauym cultivator lv 3

[echo ore]

lol!! yeah. i had extra bronze

[true steeple]

You should get better food. In swamp you should only eat food made at a cauldron. Are you farming carrots yet?

[echo ore]

no, im not

ill go start that

[true steeple]

That should be your priority, it will unlock 2 new health foods

[echo ore]

nice!

[frosty frost]

basically when you get something you can farm you should go farm that as soon as possible 🙂 good food is one of the most important things in valheim

[echo ore]

nice tip. thank you!

[jaunty kayak]

||and when your on swamp search for yellow flower (turnip) they look like carrot seeds but yellow||

[frosty frost]

^swamp crop spoiler

[echo ore]

oh... apparently my carrots need more room to grow...

can i dig them back up and replant them?

[frosty frost]

yeah, you have to space them a bit more from each other and other objects, and unfortunately no, you cant replant them

[echo ore]

how am i supposed to know how far away to space them? oh. ill just plant one and lay a rock next to it, and keep moving that rock farther and farther away until the carrot is growing

[frosty frost]

easy, tho not most efficient, way to safely plant them is just clicking as fast as possible while running 🙂

[echo ore]

lol!

[frosty frost]

and you will eventually get a feeling for what distance is good 🙂

[scenic rover]

anyone around who has experience hosting a dedicated server? ive been messing with this thing for HOURS and i cannot get it to work. after multiple videos and googling im convinced im just missing some stupid setting to allow the server to be found

[hollow mantle]

Depending on how many seeds you have, don't worry massively about spacing - you will very quickly amass more than enough.

[echo ore]

ok, ty!

[hollow mantle]

And in time you'll learn the rough rhythm you need when planting.

[frosty frost]

just be carefull not to loose all of them 🙂

[mystic knot]

Is it possible for dungeons to not have any cubes AT ALL?

[tacit violet]

has anyone noticed the ashlands lava fields expanding
Im in a charred fortess and use to be able to run around it but now one side is covered in lava

[frosty frost]

i believe so, yes

[frosty frost]

could be mods issue, they are known to do the weirdest things to the game

[lime drum]

are tetra lakes (alt frozen lakes) real or bunk?

[supple lance]

unlucky gen maybe

or does it actually expand? as a game mechanic? over time?

[lilac coyote]

It doesn't change size.

[subtle parrot]

They're not lakes, they're ponds, but yes they are a real thing

They're in frozen caves

[lime drum]

Specifically the same thing more or less as the frozen lakes, but liquid instead of ice and with tetras?

I see most tetra ponds are rather small

If not all

[subtle parrot]

Yeh not to my knowledge, they're all smol like that. The other thing is always frozen and sometimes you'll find a fishing pole there. I've never seen or heard of any large pools in frozen caves, just the ponds with a few tetra.

[tacit violet]

@supple lance we do play on a sever with terrain mods so maybe that's it ?

[supple lance]

could be, i'm surprised how many mods i've seen be unstable. haven't played with mods myself yet.

[sudden tapir]

Any chance I could get a Moder carry? I have 3 corpses up there already

[sudden galleon]

i can help if you want

[sudden tapir]

[sudden galleon]

dm me the joining code and pw

[echo ore]

Do boats' masts and sails have clipping? Like, if I build a tall bridge, but it's not quite tall enough, will the mast or sails get caught on the bridge?

[mystic solar]

Yes it will get caught

[sonic summit]

how long would it take?

and any fast ways or do i just eat everything and run eikthyr

[crystal kiln]

there is probably water in the way

[sonic summit]

lemme check

nope

this swamp is so big man

[true steeple]

You should be able to run there in a day. Have you got a portal?

[sonic summit]

i got 2 in the red spots and i will place one on top of bonemass skull

[crystal kiln]

holy

[sonic summit]

ikr

the boss is not even half way thru the biome and its that far

[crystal kiln]

thats the largest single biome i have ever seen, by a large margin

[sonic summit]

@true steeple should i use all 3 stamina while running or my serpent muckshake and turnip stew

[crystal kiln]

always at least one health in the swamp

[true steeple]

It would be very risky. Eikthyr + 2 stamina will be good

[sonic summit]

alr i made a lil first grade math and i will have 131 stamina and 114 health

should i get a iron mace before going for him

[timid thunder]

i have encountered either an intentionally hidden stuff or map gen error . there seams to be structure inside this rock formation and atleast one dwergr. would not have noticed if not for night and lightsource shining thru rock

[true steeple]

You don’t need it but it will help for bonemass and stone golems

[sonic summit]

alr alr ill do it

[timid thunder]

would trying to dig it out be worth it?

[true steeple]

It would probably be faster to find a new location than digging through that rock

[sonic summit]

i got more stamina with my old stamina build tho

[timid thunder]

well on that mistlands teritory i only found two dwergs building, with cellars, also i really need any additional black cores

[sonic summit]

i almost died while tryna get more iron theres a dragur spawner just next to the enterance and level 1 bow dragur spamming me

i can make my bronze one level up

[crystal kiln]

get the root chest
turns the archers into a joke

[sonic summit]

too late

i got max iron alr

[crystal kiln]

rip, root is the better set

[sonic summit]

dosent iron have more armor?

[crystal kiln]

(legends speak of vikings using the root chest in the ashlands kekw)

the pierce resistance on the chest piece is more vaulable than 100 armor points

[timid thunder]

while diging i noticed mages in distance killing something and also heard shield flaring, so altho in that rock was just single mage and lightpost but i found village nearby tho

[crystal kiln]

like, right now that 1-star archer 3-shots you or sth
with the root chest he'd do 10 dmg

[sonic summit]

ill probly come across some abominations while going to bonemass so ill have it when needed dw

[true steeple]

Iron has more defence but slows you down. It also doesn't have any resistances. Both armors are good in different situations.

You'll want a root harnesk for the 7th boss

[crystal kiln]

there is a reason people are using root in later biomes while they ditch iron as soon as they get silver

[true steeple]

Root harnesk + serpent scale shield makes Fader easy

[crystal kiln]

ah, its "that" guy

[true steeple]

"that" guy?

[crystal kiln]

yeah, you will
my own world had a swamp with 3 good spots to spawn abominations, 2 really close to my fortress

[sonic summit]

im just hyped for wolf carpets and wolf cape

so i wanna kill a wolf today if possible

[true steeple]

Tame wolves and make a wolf pit to kick greylings into

[sonic summit]

but greylings are past viking like us

they need to die honorly for the second time

[true steeple]

Kick everything down then

[sonic summit]

eeyrthing but greylings?

wait what if i tame 10 wolfs and make them fight their friends (untamed wolfs) for me and watch who wins

[crystal kiln]

everything, greyling honour matters even less than greyling lifes
that is to say: not at all

[sonic summit]

is hisbetter now

[crystal kiln]

bonemass will get obliterated

[sonic summit]

i feel like im over preparing i didnt fight ekthyr till i got max troll

and level 2 bows

[true steeple]

You need an iron pickaxe to break silver ore

[sonic summit]

oh right ill make it too how much iron?

ill jsut check dw

[true steeple]

20

[sonic summit]

man i just had 122 iron in here

not even 5 mins ago

[true steeple]

You'll need even more later in the game

[crystal kiln]

pft, pretty sure i managed to burn trough a 500 stack the other day

[sonic summit]

WHAT

[crystal kiln]

fortress building...

[sonic summit]

WHAT ARE YOU USING THEM FOR GIVE ME SOME

[true steeple]

There's never enough iron. If you try to get more than you need, it always seems to run out just as fast.

[crystal kiln]

the highest stability pieces need iron, as do my chests

[sonic summit]

i dont think ill use that much iron my storage system has 42 chests

is every item in the game repairable?

[crystal kiln]

ye?
but 50 chests is 100 iron, my weapons and tools and ship another 300ish and my main pillars need 1 iron per pillar and 2 meters of height
so my main pillars alone cost me like 150 iron

[true steeple]

Everything except torches

[sonic summit]

alr

[sonic summit]

glad i wont be building a fortress ill build a castle on a mountain tho kinda like this one here a old friend made

[crystal kiln]

you will need a looooot of iron for a construct like that

[sonic summit]

well ill let future tuna now that

alr im starting the run of shame to bonemass

[crystal kiln]

lol. you got clapped?

[sonic summit]

wym

[crystal kiln]

run of shame = naked eik run to your gear after dying xd

[sonic summit]

NEVER MIND I MADE MY MATH WRONG I GOT 181 STAMINA bc i forgot to add the 50 that the game gives us and the 25 health game gives us so im tanked rn

should i use my mid healing pots or minor healing pots

[crystal kiln]

mid

[sonic summit]

I FORGOT TO TAKE METARIALS FOR A PORTAL AND USED EIKTHYR OH NO

soo i found meadows just next to swamp in a line to bonemass should i go from tere and take safe or go from swamp?

[true steeple]

Put the portal in swamp, either on top of a crypt or behind walls (or both) so it's safe

[sonic summit]

whos living here looks cozy

[crystal kiln]

nice spawn

[sonic summit]

spawn?

[crystal kiln]

thats a swamp hut which spawned atop a swamp tower

at night a wraith will spawn there

[sonic summit]

ooh nice

the stairs line up too

[sonic summit]

oh no ill stay aout of there

[crystal kiln]

wraiths are free chain loot at your point of progression

[sonic summit]

omg i need chains

[true steeple]

The huts allow wraiths to spawn at day. If there's no wraith there now, it's safe.

[sonic summit]

thats a big mountain

@crystal kiln was right and world gen buggy

[crystal kiln]

lul, called it

[sonic summit]

the pc version dosent work i use the mobile version its always right lemme try mobile

can someone do it for me my phone dosent charge for a reason

nah no needa look ill just sail

is it safe to use the carve

[small nest]

why not?

[sonic summit]

dk possible serpents

[small nest]

karve is 2 out of 4 boats, no need for a better one to explore a bit

also you can just smack the serpents while sail is sailing on its own

[crystal kiln]

karve is enough for serpents

[sonic summit]

i think they broke my karve and it despawned ill make new one

[winged solstice]

pretty though

[sonic summit]

te waves is crazy my boat is jumping

this is meadows and black forest right i dont want death squitos jumping me

whats this thing in meadows

this is plains right...

@true steeple my bonemass can be jsut next to this unknown biome

is this plains or meadows?

[true steeple]

It’s plains, the 5th biome. You should avoid it if possible

[sonic summit]

oh no theres a big line of plains

bonemass is somewhere back there

are thoose rocks safe?

THEY WERE SWAMP BUT WHATT

is this plains ?

i need a fast answer or ill die

IT WAS PLAINS

@true steeple what do i do

thoose red things are death squitos

[vagrant bobcat]

@sonic summit u for sure have already a harnesk chest, right? 😅

[sonic summit]

..

[vagrant bobcat]

or u can shoot them with bow when they come to u and dodge roll the 2nd one

[true steeple]

Your serpent scale shield is pierce resistant so it will be perfect for the deathsquitos

[vagrant bobcat]

ah yea.. easy

[true steeple]

They have 10 health, so they’ll die in one hit

[sonic summit]

GUYS I DONT KNOW HOW BUT I MANGED TO GO ACROSS 3 TO 4 DEATHSQUITOS I TRIED BLOCKING DIDNT WORK I RAN FOR MY LIFE I GOT TO THE BONEMASS ALTAR WHILE BEING CHASED BY DEATH SQUITOS AND HAVING THE WET EFFECT AND HAVING THE COLD EFFECT AND NOT HAVING RESTED BUFF NOW I GOT A PORTAL NEXT TO THE SKULL AND IM HOME

[vagrant bobcat]

[sonic summit]

ill just chill on my base for a bit too much risky stuff

[vagrant bobcat]

i mean.. u didnt die... success 😅

[sonic summit]

would thy break my portal its like attacked to a tree

[true steeple]

They wont break your portal if you’re not nearby, because it’s not loaded

[sonic summit]

alr thanks

am i marking too much?

[true steeple]

There is no too much

[sonic summit]

alright i shall go face the big blob of mountain silver finding detacter guy now any tips or tricks on dodging his attacks or what kind of attacks he got

im watching a toturial and the guy is saying im over prepared and im more prepared than him like 2x

[true steeple]

Your shield is strong enough that blocking will be best, since it uses very low stamina

[sonic summit]

blocking costs stamina?

[true steeple]

He has some basic melee slashes, a poison aoe and he can summon skeletons and blobs

[sonic summit]

alr thanks but the space it spawns is so bad

theres a billion big tree roots everywhere

[true steeple]

Could you send a screenshot?

[sonic summit]

im too scared to go but i will

OH NO

OH NO NO NO NO NO I KNEW IT

this is the palce but we got a big problem

nvm i escaped

it isnt that bad i can raise the ground tbh

the water is pretty shore

better?

[loud linden]

Raising the ground around Bonemass is a good idea ahead of fighting him. But, honestly, he's fairly tame if you have Poison Resistance and keep your distance while you manage the add spawns.

[sonic summit]

alr thanks

it seems easy

if i do 7 would it use the pot?

[vagrant bobcat]

yes

all u gotta do is to dodge his melee attack and then u got a nice window to land like 6 hits with mace

make sure u have at least 2 poison resistance potions

[sonic summit]

i got 12

[vagrant bobcat]

yea thats a lot 😅

[sonic summit]

oh no

i forgot to block

the skeletons are shooting me too much

rip

[vagrant bobcat]

rip

[sonic summit]

im going for it

no armor no food ill jsut take my stuff

sooo the skeletons are just pain

[vagrant bobcat]

never had problem with them.. but i had harnesk.. so yea

[crystal kiln]

the skeletons are faster than the boss
just kite them in a circle and regularly clean up the skellies

(root harnsesk saves lives)

[sonic summit]

its not like that the bow skeletons are so far and theres 2 on each side

[winged solstice]

ah tis but a flesh wound you could walk it off i believe

[sonic summit]

dang i died again

theyre camping me now

[oak mirage]

does any1 recall if the elder boss spawns enemies? or?

[sonic summit]

it spawns roots

and they broke my portal..

ill take a break for now

[lilac brook]

Can anyone help? I cant open player log

[glad marsh]

do the blue jute drapes count as a banner for rested?

[oak mirage]

not sure but, if you add it without anyother banner and it doesnt raise comfort thats a no.

[flint yoke]

Iirc they're the exception: no they don't. Should test though

[lilac coyote]

Why are we guessing? https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Comfort

[buoyant nexus]

can i remove lava somehow?

[frosty frost]

unfortunately no

[buoyant nexus]

so I can only lower the level of it and build above it i guess?

[frosty frost]

yep

[buoyant nexus]

I dont like that

[late hawk]

you can use flametal pillars

[sonic summit]

what happens after i kill bonemass other than the items

does it open any raids or smth

[frosty frost]

enables drake raid

[sonic summit]

is it good?

[frosty frost]

also blobs, skeletons, surtlings (if you also killed surtlings), wolves, bats (if you also killed bats)

[sonic summit]

what does drakes drop and are they only from raids

[frosty frost]

nope, they are also in mountains, and you will see what they drop 🙂 you have to go to mountains next anyway

[buoyant nexus]

great advice. thanks

now i have to make some safe space for my Ashkivins. these ashlands monster already killed 2 of my 1 star tamed. :(((

[late hawk]

its good to take 2-3 eggs back to a safer place as reserve

[buoyant nexus]

nah, I catch them because they charge into my Trench around my Portal base. now i did a second trench. xD

[late hawk]

damn can't wait to get to ashlands again

[buoyant nexus]

Asksvin*

I hope they make mining Flametal easier

[hollow mantle]

Based on the Public Test Beta patch notes, it appears they are looking to do that, without making it trivial.

[frosty frost]

in public test branch the flametal spikes are sinking again and you no longer slide on them when they do

[buoyant nexus]

wdym by again? Right now, at least the one I mined sunk

[frosty frost]

in ptb patch 0.218.17 the sinking was temporarily removed to counteract the sliding/floating bug then you mine on them, and in the latest patch it was added again

[sonic summit]

does bonemass despawn after a while?

[frosty frost]

no, none of the bosses despawn

[sonic summit]

does it slowly come to my base then?

or jsut stay there until i get close?

[frosty frost]

nope, as othere enemies, when he is in unloaded chunk he "freezes"

[sonic summit]

alr nice

can i summon an other boss while hes there?

[true steeple]

Yes. You can even summon multiple of the same boss

[sonic summit]

is there any way to load backed up saves for my world?

i wanna try this boss again

alr got it

[buoyant nexus]

it seems that is true for enemies attacking your base and you teleporting away and go to sleep?

like in minecraft. if you not there time stands still.

[timid thunder]

this dvegr mage has diferent magic type , right? has area heal spell (heals like 50ish health) and also seaking orb projectile with good damage, atleast it looked like it seaks

[buoyant nexus]

it seems like there is 3 different types of them and i heard that there is a mage with 2 different magics in one. but cant confirm

[timid thunder]

yea, fire mage with fireball burst and area firewave , ice mage with ice burst and ice area i think, and this support i guess with kinda seaking orb and area heal 50 points per second for several seconds allies/neutrals and also can buff allies/neutrals with dvergr power which increases elemental magic (atleast 1 star one does that)

[jovial ledge]

does the setting "attack towards look direction" work? It doesn't seem to work with my character.

[buoyant nexus]

are you sure that you applied it?

[jovial ledge]

yep. I think it doesn't work with mouse, only with controller

[buoyant nexus]

it works with mouse

if I look back and attack he turns and attack. but you have to uncheck it^^

[jovial ledge]

It just said "new unlocks in message log". Where is this message log?

[subtle parrot]

The compendium I believe

[worldly eagle]

Two parts in Compendium: Active effects and Message log 🙂

[subtle bay]

Is Staff of Embers better than the other one?

Staff of Fracturing I believe?

[shut holly]

it's different. many would say it's more practical

[subtle bay]

The Embers?

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[subtle bay]

Well that's annoying.

Is there a better staff than the Fire based ones?

[hollow mantle]

"Flametal spires now have a low chance to start sinking" implies they might not - is that right, to your knowledge?

[subtle bay]

.. god it's such a fuckin' pissoff when new gear comes out, and it's not as good as the previous tier, if not worse.

[frosty frost]

no, that just means that the chance to sink per hit is low

[shut holly]

that's all down to opinion. i like staff of the wild quite a lot, even though i rarely use magic

[subtle bay]

I think I might try that out.

[loud linden]

I agree, but the overlap seems intentional. If you're used to something like a WoW tier shift, this would seem ludicrous.

[shut holly]

it's worth an upgrade before you really pass judgment also. iirc the first upgrade doubles its damage

[subtle bay]

I mean, there's a chance you're lucky enough to not roll the condition when mining.. but I'd say that's extremely unlikely.

[hollow mantle]

ok, so a slightly but still extremely remote chance it won't sink at all, but average effect will be that you'll get more ore on average before it sinks.

[frosty frost]

yep

[hollow mantle]

cool

that seems like a good compromise

[subtle bay]

Usually I get roughly 30 before it sinks.

I play with someone else so we both manage between 50-60

[subtle bay]

↖️ :'c

[loud linden]

It seems like a deliberate impedance. Either flametal is lava resistant or it isn't. The whole, "Oh it might be... you just have to test your luck!" is really lazy.,

[subtle bay]

My staves are all level 3, so.. I guess in that case which one would then be better? The Embers or Fracturing?

[loud linden]

I have no frikkin' idea what that is supposed to mean.

[hollow mantle]

I am hoping when the patch goes live my two friends will start playing again, and we can mine more.

[hollow mantle]

huh? we're talking about mining the spires

[subtle bay]

Oh, pointing to my profile picture, being a Draenei.. I'm definitely used to how WoW tiers go ';d

[shut holly]

usually embers is more practical afaik. I'm not a magic person, not sure when/where fracturing wins out

[loud linden]

Oh ok. Maybe use the reply function then, so everyone knows what you're talking about.

[subtle bay]

Oh wait there's a patch that's COMING to lower the sink trigger's chance?

[hollow mantle]

Dude, I was literally responding to the comment immediately before my two.

[subtle bay]

That'd be kind of nice but I mean.. 30 already feels enough. You can also be a dick and cheese it by mining all the nodes twice to bring them to low HP then hit as many possible before the sinking begins.

I'm sure using that method which I've yet to be bothered trying, (all a theory) would yield me like 50.

[hollow mantle]

It's what is currently being tested in the Public Beta Test.

[frosty frost]

or you can try to read just above the message you are replying to 😉

[hollow mantle]

Exactly

[subtle bay]

They should test Staff of Fracturing and buff it god dammit! ;U

[loud linden]

Dude, there's 49,000 people online. Not everyone is watching every post.

[hollow mantle]

It was literally the next comment

[frosty frost]

and 4 people are currently chating here, whats the problem?

[loud linden]

Fucking Z-gens

[subtle bay]

You're just a crankypants, Mr Moose. :U

[hollow mantle]

Dude, I'm Gen-X

[subtle bay]

But we love you. 💙

[hollow mantle]

haha, was that directed at me or Moose?

[loud linden]

Oh, if only there was a reply function!

[subtle bay]

( I really couldn't help but be ironic there. ;d )

[hollow mantle]

Are you seriously saying you can't follow the flow of this conversation right now without direct replies?

[subtle bay]

My ladyfriend has the same problem, it's a little bewildering. To each their own. ;d

[frosty frost]

Oh, if only we could read and find context in 2 messages right next to each other 😄

[loud linden]

No, what's I'm saying is have respect for the conversation and make it clear where your reponse is directed.

[shut holly]

🍿

[subtle bay]

I need help. :U

[hollow mantle]

I feel you're the only person that didn't find it clear.

But this is all getting way off topic.

[subtle bay]

Let me quickly grab my ladyfriend. ;d

[loud linden]

You'll also notice that it's significantly easier to respond to me when I reply specifically to your comment.

[crystal kiln]

he's been like that for two hours or so

[loud linden]

It's just lazy. All you have to do is click the comment to reply.

[frosty frost]

more lazy than looking one line up? i dont think so 🙂

[hollow mantle]

Wait, who are you replying to there?! I'm so confused! /sarcasm

[shut holly]

why is this even being argued

[loud linden]

I've been like this for 48 years. You have clearly underestimated me.

[subtle bay]

But I'm busy typing, I don't want to grab my mouse.. I'd rather rely on other peoples synapses connecting the dots. :<

[loud linden]

I didn't specify a reply, so I'm replying to everyone.

[subtle parrot]

But no one cares

[loud linden]

That's. How. It. Works.

[shut holly]

back in my day, we sent letters, and there was no reply function...
(sips coffee)

[hollow mantle]

Imma bow out of this specific topic now, so that we can move on.

[subtle bay]

Which was the style at the time..

What the shit is this

Staff of the Wild goes up its initial damage each and every upgrade

20, 40, 60, 80 I'd assume.

[shut holly]

told ya

[subtle bay]

Holy fuck this staff rocks. I just smashed Zil and Thungr in like 2 casts.

[shut holly]

told ya

[subtle bay]

Welp I guess there's no point keeping the Fire staff with me now.

[shut holly]

i dont usually mage, but for emergency corpse runs, it's the bee's knees

[loud linden]

I see you're a farmer of onions...

[subtle bay]

It's the blob's knobs.

[timid thunder]

SOS - swarm of seekers are actively patrolling all my corpse locations, there are atleast one 2 starred seeker , atleast one 1 starred seeker, minimum 3 or more other seekers in same swarm, plus several 2 stared ticks

[shut holly]

is it night time...?

[timid thunder]

not sure is it was when they poped first time, since then i died 4 more times and had to take twice boat to there

about two days passed, they still patroling that area

[shut holly]

can you put a portal (or two) nearby?

[timid thunder]

put one on small island not far from there, where i parked big boat

rest of way is all hostile

probably night+raid coincided cause they all appeared all around me that first timew

[shut holly]

can you put another portal on the other side of your deathbag? pull them one way, then portal to the other

[timid thunder]

i died around mine

[echo ore]

so i just killed an abomination and picked up some new items and i got a bunch of new recipes unlocked, but i was still caught in battle and wasn't able to review them. how do i check what recipes were just unlocked? i checked the "message log" but it doesn't show anything other than "added stone", "added wood", etc

[shut holly]

check your workbench

[timid thunder]

was trying to fortify it and close the entrace but raid poped at that moment and took me out

from then on i am trying to get my copses and rid of that swarm

[echo ore]

ok, so i see some root armor. but is there no way to just check the log? is there a more comprehnsive log, like a savefile, or something?

[hollow mantle]

Check the wiki is honestly the easiest way. (but may result in spoiling)
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Root_(item)

[loud linden]

Spoiled roots are the worst.

[shut holly]

unfortunately the log is not exhaustive, no

[echo ore]

ok. thanks guys!

[hollow mantle]

Highlighting of new recipes is one QoL improvment I'd love to see.

[shut holly]

best bet may be trying to get multiple portals up in the area...do you have backup gear to use?

[timid thunder]

last good one has 85 total armor and very weak to fire debuff

[hollow mantle]

With my group there was one occasion where I said "I need more X so I can make more Y" and one of the group said "but can't you only find those?" and I was like "No, you can make them" to which they responed "what? are you sure?", and we'd had the recipe (||for dverger lanterns||) for ages.

[loud linden]

Sort options as well. Sort by Health, Stam, Eitr, Biome, max stat, etc. The default alphabetical sort is awful.

[hollow mantle]

yes!

and/or a search function and/or filtering...

[loud linden]

Filtering! Omm nom.. delicious!

[shut holly]

at cauldron most but not all uncooked items are sorted by the cooked name -.-

[hollow mantle]

Like I wish I could just filter out the bait recipes!

[loud linden]

Yes, I know, thanks. 🙂 And, it is incredibly inadequate.

[dusky panther]

does anyone know why valheim very often get "steam cloud error" after playing? it always seem to work without a problem when starting though

[lilac brook]

How can i join my friends server without him being online? I cant find how to open his file on onedrive

[loud linden]

You need a dedicated server. It's either run from your friend's computer constantly, or you pay someone to host it for you.

[lilac brook]

How can you create dedicated server?

[loud linden]

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

[buoyant nexus]

How i do Grausten Roof Corners?

[tiny violet]

i think this happens to me if I exit out of Steam too quickly after closing Valheim. give it a minute and it will all be synced up good no error

[subtle bay]

Does the damage of the roots go up with upgrades

[hollow mantle]

There are several ways to do them, and the key to them all is understanding the two grausten roof corner pieces (well 4 if you count curved vs straight separately) should be used in combination to form an inner-corner.

Search here for previous discussions and examples.

[buoyant nexus]

so you say its not a good idea to do a Grausten Roof for a Fort?^^

[mellow lodge]

if i have a small island that seems to have a high number of hares, does that mean it has a hare specific spawner? so if i kill all the hares, but come back later, there will be more? or will it be any random mistland creature?

[late hawk]

i had that once too, it seems like that's hare island now

maybe hares spawn more inland and when there is a small islands they spawn a lot

[mellow lodge]

reading this: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones if accurate, i could place stake traps around the island. stay within the 64x64 meter section, but far enough away, and then every minute it will try to spawn hares, up the limit

i have to stay >40m away it appears

[solemn oasis]

should i feel bad about playing with 1.5 drops and an easy seed with all bosses?

🤔

[buoyant nexus]

your first runthrough?

[solemn oasis]

no played valheim b4

[buoyant nexus]

then dont feel bad

[tribal wyvern]

all it does if you have more drops and less distance to travel for each boss is reduce the number of hours you spend to progress

the overall experience is exactly the same, provided you didn't change anything else

[spare plover]

Do better chests (reinforced, personal, etc) have more inventory space than a regular chest. Or is it just purely cosmetic and bonus comfort

[timid thunder]

what is fly/noclip command? gjal broke ship, some stuff went too deep to reach

[spare plover]

It should just be fly

[frosty frost]

yep, ofc you have to have devcommands enabled

[timid thunder]

chest that uses iron holds quite more, and then one with blackmetal holds even more

[timid thunder]

and code for that is?

[spare plover]

Ok thx. I just barely got into the swamp so I wasn't sure

[frosty frost]

just type "devcommands" into console

[spare plover]

Fly

[timid thunder]

thanks @frosty frost @spare plover

[thin raft]

hey is anyone here? 😄
i have a private valheim game on xbox
can i somehow.. deactivate the construction physics?

[subtle parrot]

Not on console

[lime drum]

Can summon active multiples of the same boss?

[true steeple]

Yes, there’s no limit to how many you can spawn

[lime drum]

Haha kinda breaks the story immersion, but cool, thank you

[tribal wyvern]

i think it's to avoid the possibility of you permanently losing an item that's necessary to progress

[sudden galleon]

imagine play on a serveur but somone speed run the story. evrybody else cant play cuz the boss already died 🫤

[lilac coyote]

Summoning him multiple times is different to summoning multiple at once.

[modest yarrow]

It’s fun to spawn multiple at once, although it might be removed in the full release

[lilac coyote]

I wouldn't have thought so.

[lime drum]

I feel it will

[lilac coyote]

For what reason?

[modest yarrow]

Doesn’t line up with lore and doesn’t prevent softlocking the game

[lilac coyote]

I don't think that's something the devs want though.

Same as how they're never going to prevent world hopping.

[subtle bay]

Why is Serpent meat always so heavy..

Bonemaw is the same, they're all 10 each

[modest yarrow]

Serpents are big

[frosty frost]

its pretty masive piece of meat 😄

[subtle bay]

But I mean.. sure, they're huge but then why are they cut so large. It's a feast for five.

[frosty frost]

be glad you dont have to take a nap after eating one 😛

[subtle bay]

I'm being too realistic here, I guess what I'm trying to ask is what's the point of the food if it's far too heavy? Just to keep at home?

[lilac coyote]

Same as all food, to eat.

[vagrant bobcat]

i get ya, i mean they could be cut into smaller pieces

[modest yarrow]

If you turn it into serpent stew it only weighs 1, also it makes sense to not bring it for exploring and only use it for bosses because it’s hard to get

[subtle bay]

Sorry I guess I should be specific, I meant Bonemeat

[echo ore]

so, i am wanting to build a really tall bridge. one so people can pass over the waterway, but ships can also still pass under. is there some combination of corewood poles and iron wood poles that would be best? or just iron wood?

[modest yarrow]

Bonemaw meat isn’t good, however if bone stew was added it would probably be too powerful because bonemaw are from the second to last biome so if they got a similar thing to serpent stew it would be best health food by a lot or underwhelming

[hollow mantle]

Stone foundations (possibly with iron reinforcements), and wood iron poles and beams for the main structure. Not sure if that will actually get you tall enough, and depending on how wide the water channel is, you may have issues getting the span to reach, but those will give you the best results.

[echo ore]

i thought stone foundations had the same strength as a regular wood pole (according to wiki)

[modest yarrow]

They give much more support

[hollow mantle]

If you build off them before they're fully red, they're seen as ground.

[echo ore]

stone foundations can be red?

[hollow mantle]

If you go high enough, sure

[echo ore]

ah, stacking them up\

[hollow mantle]

try this - build two stone pillars - one on top of the other - then snap a wood floor piece to the very top - and see what colour it is...

[echo ore]

🙂 will do. ty!

[hollow mantle]

You should be able to get 7 stone pillars, alone, on top of each other, and still anything snapped to the very top will stay blue.

[hollow mantle]

See: #screenshots message

[echo ore]

sweet! thank you!

[hollow mantle]

Adding reinforcements gets you another 5, maybe more, pillars height...
#screenshots message

[echo ore]

so, this doesn't seem to be true for wood iron poles. they are orange on top of my tower of pillars. but corewood poles are blue

[hollow mantle]

Huh. It works for me. This is how I reinforce roofs on large stone buildings.

[echo ore]

what could be different do you think? are you using a mod?

[hollow mantle]

Nope, vanilla

I’ll have a play around with it when I’m next on. I generally only go 8m high (two 4m high storeys) on even large stone buildings.

So maybe it’s that?

[echo ore]

ok, so i have 7 stone pillars standing in a column in the middle of the water

heres a screenie of a corewood-- its green now

because i have 7 now instead of 6 (miscounted b4)

and heres my wood iron pole

[hollow mantle]

Hmm. Is the bottom pillar blue?

[echo ore]

yes

[hollow mantle]

🤔

[echo ore]

lol! i think its a bug

because i have 6 iron poles now all red

[hollow mantle]

Huh

[echo ore]

all red!

so, ill just go with it 🙂

[hollow mantle]

👍

Maybe sit and watch it a while. It can sometimes take a while for the support to propagate correctly.

[echo ore]

well, maybe. but its still red now

[hollow mantle]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[echo ore]

lol. ik

[hollow mantle]

Oh! Something I have had to do in the past is embed the footing of a pillar actually in the ground. Even though the bottom looks blue.

[echo ore]

so like use the hoe and pull it up around the base?

[hollow mantle]

So, like, take a 1x1x1 and snap the top of it to the bottom of the bottom pillar.

[echo ore]

ok. ill try that

[echo ore]

i dont think it did anything really

but thats ok

[maiden verge]

See if placing the woodiron beam in the center of the stone pillar helps. I remember something about the edges not giving same support as middle, but it has been a long time since I built anything tall.

[echo ore]

i will try that! ty

[scenic dock]

hi
i made an coal farm in the swamp but they are spawning so slow like SO SLOW why is that ?

they take like half an hour to spawn

[frail cave]

Guys what's this?

[oak mirage]

random rareish structures found in the swamps that lead to nothing even if not submerged underwater

they also spawn int he mountains iirc

[mystic solar]

Iron beams have a higher stability than stone pillars, you can use them to reinforce stone, but not the other way around. For max height stone pillars, you'd run some iron beams connected to the ground either inside the pillar to hide them, or alongside.
The trick with connecting wood to stone and have it appear grounded aka blue only works for pure wood.

[hollow mantle]

🤔 why it work for me on my roofs then?

[mystic solar]

You are saying you connected an iron beam high up to a stone pillar and it was blue? That's not how they work in my experience, are you using mods?

[hollow mantle]

Nope. Vanilla.

And, yes, using wood iron as reinforcement for roofs on 8m tall stone buildings.

[lapis terrace]

it depends on multiple things

1. can it even spawn enemies?
2. are you to close to it?

etc etc

[scenic dock]

it have spawned some of them like 2 times then stopped

Yes I’m close

Idk if it glitched out itryed to close the game multiple time
I have slept to skip time not any of that work

[gritty harness]

i have all the items i need to get to 13 comfort and yet im only getting 10. does LoS matter for comfort items?

[frosty frost]

LoS?

[gritty harness]

line of sight

[frosty frost]

oh, no that doesent matter for comfort items

you can check here if some of the items are of the ssame type (since that would mean some of them dont raise the comfort) https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Comfort

[gritty harness]

i have an armour stand (1) hearth (2) dragon bed (2) black bannner (1) raven throne (2) table (1) deer rug (1) plus the two from being sheltered near a fire (2)

so that should amount to 12 actually but im only getting 10 :L

[frosty frost]

and is everything close enough?

[gritty harness]

yeah, im running a mod to increase the distance on comfort items but its showing up with all the correct items as actively contributing. though the mod could be causing the issue for all i know tbf

[frosty frost]

that might be the case, but try to walk around your base if there is a place with 12 somewhere 🙂

[topaz axle]

Anyone got any fishing tips? Or a good video for me to watch? I am having trouble both finding spots to fish and getting anything to bite and everything I find just tells me what the wiki says.

Or is basically just, keep on trying?

[tribal wyvern]

supposedly it's possible to get a bite even if you don't see any fish swimming in the water, but my genuine best advice would be to find somewhere as close to the shore as possible where you can see a group of fish, use the right bait for the biome, and make sure to right click, not left click, when you see your bobber go down

[topaz axle]

I have done a little more googling and have managed to start catching some. I think I got the hang of it! Thank you for the advice!

[rare star]

Also try to keep a "sweet spot", I have two chairs in the middle of the room that has everything I need

[little tinsel]

Are colored tags on the map only works on Xbox or am I doing something wrong? I try to create them like <#ff0000>Raspberry or <color="red>Raspberry and it doesn't work

[rare star]

people are not allowed to break it, tho

[hollow mantle]

I believe they still only work on Xbox

[subtle parrot]

Is that a thing on xbox? If so I had no idea, I'll have to try it later, but I was unaware of being able to color tags on the map. I thought it was a mod.

I know you can color or resize the sign texts though for certain on both

Nope not a thing on xbox map, you can put emojis, but they don't end up colored

@little tinsel

[hollow mantle]

In that case, no longer a thing on XBox.

I only know it was because I saw a picture of it once and tried it and it didn’t work and I then found out it only worked on XBox (I play on PC).

[lilac coyote]

needs to read before replying

I thought you were talking about signs. Didn't even realise it was ever a thing on the map.

[hollow mantle]

Reddit article with screenshot (not the one I saw):

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/123seus/you_can_color_the_text_on_your_map_vanillaxbox_no/

[little tinsel]

what a pity, hope devs will bring this feature soon

[subtle parrot]

Didn't try it with quotes before but tried and still nope, sadly

[buoyant peak]

It wasn't a feature in the first place so no

[lilac coyote]

Also, in the grand scheme of things that actually need fixing and things we'd desparately like to have coloured map pins are SOOOOO far down the list I don't think that'd ever happen.

[subtle parrot]

Completely fair, it's 💯 percent unnecessary

[lilac coyote]

Speaking of maps, something I WOULD like is persistence of scroll. We're currently working through Ashlands for the first time as a group (I played a little during testing) but our base is in Meadows near-ish to spawn. Every time you open the map when you're back home you have to scroll ALL the way down to the bottom to look at the Ashlands content. I'd love it to remember where you last were. And then maybe have a 'Reset to current location' button to compensate.

[subtle parrot]

That would be nice, have had similar thoughts before

[hollow mantle]

Same.

[jaunty kayak]

Does upgrading staff of growth doubles its damage?

[frosty frost]

it adds 20 poison and blunt dmg per lvl, so from 1st to 2nd lvl it does, after that no

[jaunty kayak]

But does roots deal more

More i mean 100 -> 200 for example

[frosty frost]

i dont think so, but i didnt use it much, try looking at wiki if you find more

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

[jaunty kayak]

I will js test it out

[lilac coyote]

As you aren't upgrading roots, no.

[void badger]

Hey yall, is there any way to transfer a world from the public test beta to the regular game? Me and my friend played on my world for awhile and switched to the public test beta when ashlands was in testing, but then a few days after we got off ashlands was fully released
I was just wanting to transfer the world back to the base game so we can keep playing

would I just keep the world file and put it back into the game once I go back to the base game?

someone previously said i needed to wait for a ptb patch i was just wondering if this was it

[jagged dust]

Can someone explain what happens to the events in the game? They appear every 5 minutes, on hardmode, which has never happened

[buoyant peak]

Reduce the raid slider

And it's never five minutes

[real nebula]

Largely depends on when you last run those worlds. There's a new PTB patch out currently, which is a version ahead of live branch. If you've already updated those worlds to this PTB, they won't be compatible with live branch until live is updated.

[lilac coyote]

14 mins in Hardcore IIRC.

[void badger]

nah i havent played them in like a month and a half

[real nebula]

Make a backup of those worlds, change your game back to live and try to run them? I know there was some weirdness with live being a version ahead of PTB before with changes in PTB not being applied, but it might still work.

[void badger]

alright thanks for the help

[lilac coyote]

Running mods at all?

[final cave]

I cannot select the character I was playing as from beta when I switch to live version , I can see the save file when I click manage saves but characters isnt there. Is it not compatible

[grim widget]

having an issue where /setkey PlayerEvents isn't actually triggering all of a sudden

[real nebula]

PTB chars and worlds are generally not compatible with live version until live is updated.

[grim widget]

I accidentally set my portals to hardmode and turning that back down to normal wasn't working so I had to reset all world modifiers to fix portals
but after doing so I can no longer set player based raids again

[real nebula]

Dedicated server or self hosted?

[grim widget]

dedicated but on a weird docker thing so I can't set launch options

[real nebula]

Ah, that might be causing issues

[grim widget]

I've been doing it through in game commands

[real nebula]

Would suggest asking/searching around in #dedicated-server

[grim widget]

kk thx

[void badger]

I just tried it my characters and world only works in the public test

[real nebula]

Will have to wait until live updates then, sorry

[void badger]

alright

worth a shot atleast, what will that update be named just so I know for later?

[real nebula]

0.218.20 or later

[void badger]

👍

Thanks again

[jagged dust]

ok, maybe not five minutes, but very often. we've been playing on the same server for several months now and events have never happened so often, one after another. And we use interface mods that don't affect the difficulty of the game

[real nebula]

Would at least try to replicate without any mods at all; these main channels are strictly for the vanilla game, we can't provide support for modded games that we don't know the effects of. #mods-issues would be the place for modded saves.

[jagged dust]

Ok, thanks

[final cave]

Ah got it , thanks for your fast response

[lilac coyote]

Hardcore mode Does increase the rate of events. This doesn't sound entirely unlikely.

[near ermine]

is there a way for me to get the steam server thingie without buying valheim on steam?

[lilac brook]

When i should kill sea serpant? What i should prepare and what armor

[crystal kiln]

armor doesnt really matter
you need a karve and an upgraded finewood bow
frost arrows if you want easy mode

[jovial ledge]

Are axes able to hit multiple enemies with full damage like swords do?

[near ermine]

why is valheim always crashing when i open it up? Xbox app on pc

[subtle parrot]

Iirc they don't do full damage

[sudden galleon]

whats the steam server thingie you talk about ?

[near ermine]

on steam when you own the gameyouy can run a server on your pc

[sudden galleon]

and you buy the game where ?

[subtle parrot]

Game pass

[sudden galleon]

oh well did you just want to set your game up to play with your friends or you want a dedicated server? cuz im oretty sure you can set your game to be online on game pass... but the dediacated server not sur

[lilac coyote]

They mean the dedicated server program.

[vast pilot]

Hey everytime i start the game the Valheim logo appears but after that i just have a black screen

[lilac coyote]

Remove / update your mods.

[vast pilot]

I dont have any mods i also tried reinstalling the game

[lilac coyote]

Could you give us a screenshot of your game directory?

[vast pilot]

its in german but i can translate

i just cant send it in here

[lilac coyote]

Eh? I just want a screenshot.

[vast pilot]

Yeah where should i sent the screenshot

[lilac coyote]

Post it in this channel.

[vast pilot]

doesnt work

[tired notch]

You can upload/post images in this channel.

[vast pilot]

you mean this?

[lilac coyote]

I don't, but that does answer my question.

[vast pilot]

ok what should i do?

[near ermine]

No im talking about using he dedicated server thingi on steam but i own the game on game pass is there a way to install the didcated server thing on steam without being the game?

[lilac coyote]

There might be someone in #dedicated-server who can help. I know it's possible, but no idea how.

[vast pilot]

Do you know how i can fix it?

[lilac coyote]

Afraid I'm not too good with GamePass.

[vast pilot]

I only have it bought over xbox because it was on sale i own it

Could it be a problem with the xbox launcher?

[sand tapir]

How does bow leveling work. By damage or by hits

[lilac coyote]

As with all weapons, on hits.

[hollow mantle]

I am so confused...

Regarding the stone+wood/wood iron discussion yesterday...

Looking at my roofs now and the wood iron isn't blue like it was before!

In fact it's red...

But the roofs are holding up exactly as they did.

[manic gyro]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers
I used the SteamCmd method. The installed valheim folder will then contain a pdf with further instruction. For Gamepass you need to pass the -crossplay switch when starting the server

[hollow mantle]

And with the other style of roof reinforcement I sometimes do, on top of an 8m pillar, they're slightly orangey-yellow...

So very confused.

[unkempt spire]

:Host a server: How do i setup a server that's accesable by players 24.7 ??

[late hawk]

That would be with third party services, for instance Bisect Hosting or GPortal.

[jaunty kayak]

Anyway why do devs think that cutting trees better for 5mins is better than -60% stamina usage etc.

[subtle parrot]

Wood iron is structurally superior. So putting it on top of something less structural, it will be less structurally integral. Putting wood on red wood iron, it will stay structurally integral. Putting stone on red wood iron, the stone will likely break. They will start off as blue, but after a few moments you'll see them become green, then yellow and so on. That being said, if your wood iron beams are planted in the ground they will be the most structurally integral for the areas closely connected to the beams stuck in the ground, and you can build higher than off the top of unsupported stone.@hollow mantle

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, I know that. But when I built my roofs, the wood iron was showing up as blue when I had it pinned to the top of 8m high stone walls. Now it isn't. Nothing has changed, as far as I know. We've never had mods. And the roofs are as stable as they've always been.

[subtle parrot]

And the roofs are wood?

[hollow mantle]

Shingle.

[subtle parrot]

So tarred wood?

[hollow mantle]

yes

[subtle parrot]

That's basically the same as wood, so it wouldn't have any issues.

But yeh, placing the wood iron on the less stable stone structure in turn will make the wood iron less stable in the long run.

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, that's how it's behaving now. But wasn't before. No idea why. But no worries, it stays up all the same.

[subtle parrot]

You may have just not really took note of it before

[buoyant peak]

What?

[subtle parrot]

Especially if you're pretty quick in building, each new piece will semi reset the structural calculations, unless it's just really bad support wise

[jaunty kayak]

Eikthyr is first boss so theorytically older should have better power cause its second boss which is harder etc.

If yk yk

[frail cave]

Hello, can anyone help me? I have a problem with character generation. This morning I was surprised by the lack of a character that I use on my maps. I tried to restore it and I couldn't, so I tried to generate another character with the same name but it wasn't created either. I created another character with another name and that's how it was, but I would like to play with my lost character and I can't restore it. Or if I want to create another one with the same name and characteristics, I simply press to create the new one with the same name and it disappears instantly.

[buoyant peak]

Stronger bosses are not related to better powers. And no one thinks elder's power is better than eikthyr's, that's down to preferences.

Yagluth is the fifth boss, bonemass is the third, bonemass power is still better than yagluth's

[subtle parrot]

Did you play with your other character on the PTB? If so, you won't be able to access it on the live version until the versions merge

[jaunty kayak]

Ikr but it doesnt make sense for me

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, I don't know. I knew it takes time for the support to propagate, so I waited a while with the first one I put in and it stayed blue. So then I just built the rest, and a couple more roofs since then. And it fixed the issue I was having with some central roof pieces collapsing, so I just got on with it.

[tiny violet]

mostly i think the devs did it this way, lvl 1 boss, initially, youre still running around mapping out your home island maybe
lvl 2 boss you are now settled into an area, making a base, and may want to rapidly chop a bunch of wood because you are now in a buse building phase
boss lvl 3 you are now solidly in combat phase of the game
i could go on and explain boss 4 but dont want to spoil if youre not there yet

[frail cave]

No, I don't use the PTD versions precisely because I'm afraid of losing my worlds and characters.

[subtle parrot]

Hmmmm that's unfortunate, I don't know what would cause that then

[jaunty kayak]

Im at ashlands

[tiny violet]

ok, so yeah boss 4 it is like, now youre exploring far out into the world, so they provide that power for further reach of sailing... i think it is sort of setup progressionally and not so much by most powerful

[subtle parrot]

Fair points

[jaunty kayak]

Thats actually a good point tho

[tiny violet]

in the end, i still think bonemass is most powerful. yagluth and queen are good too, but i think it is mostly done by progression

[subtle parrot]

Tbh I have never used elders power, cutting trees is already pretty easy, especially if you're good about tree farming, I also hardly ever use core wood unless I'm refurbishing a draugr village

[hollow mantle]

I feel each boss kinda subtly prepares you for what's coming next, too.

[winged zenith]

My lox pen made out of wood how do I my lox without killing then

[frail cave]

I wish I could access my cloud and try to recover my character there, I already did this with a map a few years ago but now I don't remember how to access it.

[tiny violet]

yeah i think it may be used specifically like right in that phase when you unlock it and want to build a huge base. but i agree in everyday scenario id still prefer eikthyr and running ability

[hollow mantle]

How do you what your lox?

[jaunty kayak]

Like literally you can js use hammer to literally obliterate structures

[winged zenith]

Leash them, whip them, kill them

[hollow mantle]

How do you kill them without killing them?

[subtle parrot]

I mean there's that too, but I don't typically destroy whole villages, I make them like new if I decide to live there and then build add-ons

[winged zenith]

How do I strap them to the wall or the floor so they don’t torture me anymore

[jaunty kayak]

One small house structure (50wood approx)

[subtle parrot]

Are they tamed already?

[subtle parrot]

That's like 2 trees

[hollow mantle]

Have you tried https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage ?

[jaunty kayak]

Yeah in early game destroying small houses is useful

[subtle parrot]

It can be

[shut holly]

obviously different but kinda related, my first experiment with a tree tower still breaks at the top on one side, seemingly at random, never could figure out why. i can replace the broken pieces and let si settle, it's fine. play for an hours and come back and it's fine. but at some point it always breaks. 🤷‍♂️

[echo ore]

any advice on how to fit all these forge upgrades around the forge? ideally in a neat way?

[mellow lodge]

dig a pit, put them underneath, cover with floor

[thorn spire]

a lot of them can go on shelves.

either above or below.

[echo ore]

ok. excellent!

[echo ore]

i like that!

thank you for sharing that!

why do these "structures" have such a huge footprint?

[thorn spire]

it's not the footprint, it's that each one has to have unique line of sight to the forge itself.

[echo ore]

you can't fit them close together. its so weird and annoying!

oh, ok.

[mellow lodge]

if you look at the dotted lines, you'll see it's like Rudeman87 says, they have to get line of sight without passing through a different upgrade

[hearty tartan]

Where is iron IN swamp biome

[mellow lodge]

no. swamp crypts that you need the key

[hearty tartan]

How do you get key??

[mellow lodge]

Beat the Elder boss. second boss, ie, Black Forest boss

[hearty tartan]

Thanks king 💗

[jovial ledge]

Do wooden logs despawn in the open?

[mellow lodge]

i don't think they do, only because i cut some trees down and they've been there forever, and i don't think they are in range of a workbench

[winged zenith]

yes

[maiden verge]

You can make a saddle and ride them to where you want. Just build your pen out of stone and far enough away they don't annoy you anymore if that is the goal. That is only way to get them where you want them. Once you get off them they will still wander in your pen area.

Well you can harpoon and drag them but saddle is easier.
