[willow raft]

I think the tooltip of the staff stays the same but the amount you actually use is lower, so check that.
See how much eitr you have, cast skeleton once and check again.
Did it really cost 100 or is the tooltip wrong and did it cost less?

[umbral urchin]

in building more is there a way to change rotation axis of element or is it always only one axis they rotate ?

[hollow vessel]

I don't think so. After opening the gate, you have to climb up and take another action to summon the Queen.

[thorn spire]

Not necessarily. I had an infested mine right next to the queen's citadel and when I cleared the mine it triggered her to spawn. Was super unnerving to hear her roaring while I'm in a mine. However to answer @loud raptor , you'd still need the sealbreaker to get in and claim her stuff.

[buoyant peak]

They're not patch notes

[sudden galleon]

the first time you enter the queen tower she already spawned if you dont have the trophy to sumon her, you can found another tower,that would require another seal breaker if you have the trophy you can go to the top and sumon her from the altar

[orchid iron]

Hello, I have a question, do the old ways to protect you base (building a moat or raising ground) not work for the new Ashlands raids ?

[thorn spire]

Based on the wiki, the raids are only charred, so you should be fine. You still probably want a dome though, because the charred archers can do a lot of damage to your base.

[orchid iron]

what's a dome ? also last time I played, there was a bats raid that made me rage quit lol, is there any way I can counter flying enemies ?

I was mad because they killed my boars 😦

[thorn spire]

your boars can be penned in completely with a roof. that's the only way to protect them from bats.

[mellow lodge]

bats is the only flying raid that never goes away. and you can put your tamed animals inside. well, gjalls will raid in mistlands base, but you can just not have a mistlands base.

[thorn spire]

If you don't know what the dome is, you don't need to worry about the ashlands raids.

it's a structure you can build that creates a protective dome, but only after you defeat the Queen. (which also triggers the ashlands raids.)

[mellow lodge]

oh, and gjall raid goes away when you beat the queen i guess

[thorn spire]

Still need to worry about seekers at night, even without a raid, after defeating the queen.

[mellow lodge]

ah, that's true

[thorn spire]

You know, I've never even got one gjall raid in 5k hours of playing.

[mellow lodge]

i think seekers you can defeat with a high wall plus moat combo. if you're at ground level, they fly up to cross moat, but hit wall, fall into moat?

i just sleep at night though, so haven't run into them

[orchid iron]

any reason to have a base in mistlands ? I just assumed I will keep my base in the meadows

[thorn spire]

I never have. I just have a small hut to protect my portal and repair stations for my mistlands farm.

[mellow lodge]

primary base in meadows is fine. you do want to harvest some mistlands crops, however. so i have 2 outposts there, but not enough objects to count as base.

[orchid iron]

where do you usually have your main base

[thorn spire]

Mine's in plains.

[mellow lodge]

mine is meadows. then i have outposts in other biomes as needed. but i just like where i settled early. i have access to ocean on 2 sides of the continent, i moat/walled a big space.

[thorn spire]

mostly because I hate transporting Lox. I found a nice location after defeating Moder, started taming Lox and built a base around their pen.

[orchid iron]

What kind of defenses did you build ?

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i have a base where i setup lox breeding in the plains. but i don't spend any real time there so i guess i don't consider it a base, even though it technically is. hell, i imported some wolves for defense even

[orchid iron]

Yeah I liek Meadows as well

[thorn spire]

I have some crazy defenses on my plains base. Started with earthen walls as high as I could go, topped with stone.

Added a moat outside and eventually built a whole second wall and second moat.

Then I added some ballistae and domes.

My walls are nuts. fully 12m thick.

[orchid iron]

do you have boars and chicken in your base ?

[thorn spire]

I kept my boars at my first meadows base.

[mellow lodge]

my meadows base has boars, wolves, and chickens.

[thorn spire]

I have chickens and lox at my plains base.

[orchid iron]

I think it doesn't really matter how thick your wall is because trolls can go through it easily right ?

[mellow lodge]

earthen walls are invulnerable to mostly everything. with 1 ashlands exception

[thorn spire]

I like to find a nice spot in meadows, near to BF. I build a small base there with a boar pen. Then I farm around it to keep baddies away from the boars.

[orchid iron]

but if the boars are not right next to where you spend most of your time, they won't be reproducing right ?

[thorn spire]

I start with earth 2m wide as high as I can go. Trolls can't get through it.

[thorn spire]

True, but I don't farm boars once I get to plains.

I don't bother with wolves, so I never need a big supply of sausage to feed them.

My moat outside my walls is 3m wide, so one full pickaxe width and another half. It's deep enough that most enemies won't step inside and the ground beyond is low enough that trolls can't hit the stone on top of my walls.

[orchid iron]

I heard that having a bunch of tamed 2 star wolves and keeping them outside your base is a great defense against raids, is that still the case ?

[thorn spire]

sure, but honestly once you're into ML, you can handle any raids yourself.

[mellow lodge]

i have a very large moat filled with 1 star wolves. couldn't find 2

and i tried to make my moat so wide that raids would spawn inside it to get killed by the wolves lol

[thorn spire]

the wall and moat means I can shoot down on anything that I can't melee.

My FPS sometimes drops down to 20 around my base already. If I had wolves I'd never be able to move.

Even at best, I don't get better than 60 FPS at home.

especially with all the damn chickens.

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i don't have a crazy intricate base. i keep an eye on the fps. and i use automatic chicken breeders/killers. so i only reallly have 6 chickens pumpping out eggs and meat/feathers

[thorn spire]

I slaughter my own chickens, it's how I get my crossbow skill up.

[mellow lodge]

lol

[orchid iron]

I assume you have your chicken in an enclosed structure right ?

[thorn spire]

fully enclosed, automatic breeding, but not slaughter.

[orchid iron]

the bats don't attack structures ?

[thorn spire]

no. they will fly around and try to get to the creatures inside

[mellow lodge]

i've only gotten the bat raid twice. it just makes a big impact on people 🙂

[orchid iron]

I detest it

it makes me feel unsafe in my own base 😦

[mellow lodge]

i hear ya. but they are just a nuisance once you enclose your animals

[thorn spire]

you're fine if you're behind closed doors.

[crystal kiln]

its by far the most annoying raid

[thorn spire]

agreed!

[true steeple]

That’s what raids are supposed to do

[orchid iron]

I guess, but I really like to think that I have a safe haven in a hostile world, where nothing can touch me

a safe place that I build myself

[mellow lodge]

you could always turn off raids, but i like the idea of building effective defenses

[spark shell]

stand near bonfire during bat raid they go pop, it's rather funny to watch

[orchid iron]

I feel like playing without raids is not what I would want

seeing all the mobs trying to reach me but can't gives me a weird sense of satisfaction

[true steeple]

You don’t go outside and collect your free material delivery?

[mellow lodge]

understood!

[thorn spire]

there are currently two safe places from raids.

[subtle parrot]

Just run around outside your base in circles until the raid ends, only one that may not work out on is the wolves, as long as you're not in your base the raid creatures have no reason to attack it, because they're specifically after you

[mellow lodge]

wolves raid doesn't happen at base

[clever maple]

I'm having an issue getting my Xbox elite controller to show up via Bluetooth on my PC all of a sudden..
It connects to my steam deck just fine.
My PC is able to also connect to my steam deck via Bluetooth just fine.

Any idea why the controller won't show up? I have updated it.

[zenith tendon]

Can I move my tamed pigs?

[mellow lodge]

yes. either with the harpoon. or you can make a fenced in path and push them.

[zenith tendon]

How to push them

Oh understand

[mellow lodge]

get behind and shove their piggie bottoms

[loud linden]

So violent! I'd suggest pushing them for broad movement. If you want something more specific, you can lure them with food; you just have to pick it up again before they eat it.

(And they need to be 'hungry', obviously).

[mellow lodge]

the first time i did a boar breeding tower, i got them up there with fencing and pushing. man it was a pita. the harpoon was WAY better lol

[sly parrot]

how do you get the magic table up too lvl 5?

[frosty frost]

i dont think you can, max should be 4 atm

[sly parrot]

dang it. so we cant max upgrade some of the magic staffs?

[lilac coyote]

Not yet.

[frosty frost]

nope, we usually cannot right after the biome release 🙂

[frosty frost]

what does this have to do with valheim mate? 😄

[stiff urchin]

Hey there... what can be done if you die and your tomb is missing? 🙃

My friend was playing in my world and he got killed by an enemy in the Mistlands while he was having bad connection. When he rejoined his tomb was marked on the map but it's not there...

[true steeple]

If you’re absolutely sure the grave isn’t there, load character backup from the character select menu’s manage saves button

[stiff urchin]

that would be in my friend's profile, correct?

[mellow lodge]

hmm. how many frost arrows would you take on the boat ride to the ashlands. only for spinesnap use while eitr is regenning after frost staff. one stack of 100 enough?

[true steeple]

Your friend will need to load the backup, it’s his character.

[true steeple]

Just bring 100 to save inventory space

[mellow lodge]

i haven't use a bow since i entered mistlands, heh.

[true steeple]

I only use bows for some spawners and flying ranged enemies, but I might try using them more in a future playthrough

The melee combat in this game is so good, I don’t want to do anything else

[mellow lodge]

yeah, up until now i was melee, with bows/crossbow only for spawners, or pulls, or flyers. i'm trying to use magic now. and in this case, need something for bonemaws on the beach approach when eitr runs out.

[stiff urchin]

thank you! 💜

[tiny violet]

i did the same thing. mostly melee, slight bow but not much. at mistlands stopped using bow, started using some magic. I had some early difficulty with the gjall so I made the crossbow. thing hits hard. and shoots perfectly straight. I didnt have much bow skill so I just put away the bow and use a crossbow or embers for range

[mellow lodge]

my bow skill is 43 i think, so it's good enough

[tiny violet]

gotcha yea that isn't bad. i want to try an archery playthrough some time, but for this run, i am loving this crossbow haha

[tall vine]

a stack should be fine for the trip. I'd keep the spinesnap and frost arrows with you in the ashlands though - softening things up at a distance is pretty necessary on a solo play. Plus, there are tons of ranged enemies there, so having distance on your side is pretty necessary

[spiral cipher]

Does the bone maw have a high spawn rate?

[mellow lodge]

my plan is to play mage, so i'll be mostly hitting at range with embers staff normally.

[dusky mica]

is there a way to support grausten floor? I already tried fixating it with wood iron beam and flametal pillar but that didn't work

[lilac coyote]

Not really, no.

[spiral cipher]

My first time to ashlands, fought one, not even 4 minutes later, I get another.

[unkempt torrent]

anyone here in a building mood? trying to build a coliseum

you get to join our private server if you volunteer. we have 3 guys 5 girls at the moment

my comment was a joke

lol why delete it sheesh

[real relic]

I've had this problem before, does the marker show right on one of those pulsing roots? I once died and my tombstone was seemingly gone but it turns out it was INSIDE the pulsing root on top of an ancient sword that went inside the root. You couldn't reach it but with some camera work you could clip your camera into the root and see it. If you try and delete the root with console commands it will delete the tombstone so you do have to either spawn in your items that you lost or load a backup

[worldly scarab]

@dusky mica Couldn't you do full joists across with Flametal? I mean a pillar might not work, but maybe headers would?

[dusky mica]

not sure what you mean with full joists 😅 also what do you mean by headers?

[worldly scarab]

Ok so irl when you are trying to support a second floor, you need to use header beams that run across from one side to the other right under the flooring.

That carries the weight

I thought maybe that might work in Valheim too. I mean it's worth a try right?@dusky mica

[wispy dome]

I haven't built with grausten yet but looking at the stability stats it should be possible to use iron beams

stability in this game uses an "stability HP" system, to keep it simple:

• Pieces connected to a support (ground, rocks or trees) will have max stability, the farther from the support the lower the stability
• Different pieces have different max "stability HP" and lose that value in different rates, depending on the piece inclination and material
• Iron beams lose stability really slowly but it you want to support something with them, in general it's better to connect them to the ground or another support

building pieces lose stability horizontaly quicker than vertically, with iron being the exception, losing stability at the same rate

So I would suggest trying to support the grausten with iron and connect the iron to a support (usually the ground)

Flametal should be the same as iron beam, cage or dverger metal if you prefer it

[worldly scarab]

@covert ingot Do you have anything running a scan like anti virus?

o.o; I dunno but I do know that, when you have multiple programs running with most games, it can heat your computer up. I always run an external fan and a fan behind my laptop, just in case.

@.@ yes but do you have anything else running in the background that is taking up a lot of RAM

hmm... Not sure then but if you have something with a high need for Memory, it can always heat things up.

If that's not the case, are you sure your computer's thermometer is working properly? Is it actually feeling very hot to put your hands on?

[wispy dome]

4080 super running at 77% with valheim? that doesn't make sense

have you tried checking the gpu drivers?

that temperature isn't high at all but still, the gpu usage is too high indeed

[worldly scarab]

@wispy dome That's kind of what I was trying to say, but I'm not good with tech. I only know what I've seen my sister do and heard people say on here. 🙏 plz and ty for the assistance.

[wispy dome]

yes it's probably higher than normal because the gpu usage is high (idk why)

[wispy dome]

I'm not all that knowledgeable with tech

I can only think of checking if the nvidia drivers are up to date

[worldly scarab]

Sounds like you at least know more than me XD though. Programs eating up RAM and memory was all I could think of, but yeah that's taking up too much GPU >.> maybe the drivers or something is updating in background?

@wispy dome Wouldn't Microsoft Update also take up a lot of GPU, if it was working while the game was playing?

[wispy dome]

@covert ingot Can you try to cap the game fps to match your monitor? like 144 fps or 240 fps?

[wispy dome]

I think it'd use cpu, not gpu

you could try following a quick fps increase video, in your case it might lower the gpu usage instead of giving more fps since you're probably at max fps

there is a video pinned in this chat

#valheim-help message

[shy shard]

is there anything to do in a ||frozen lake||

||can I pickaxe the ice to expose some water and fish||

[wispy dome]

yes, like I said, it might decrease the gpu usage. If it the modifications increase performance, it requires less effort to generate that amount of fps, that would only be true if the video helps with gpu usage instead of cpu usage though

it's not normal

this game is runs on quite simple setups

your gpu is way too powerful for 77% usage

[fresh ginkgo]

Turn down all the graphics just to see if it’s a specific setting the causes it

All to lowest

[compact heath]

is this 100% vanilla no mods?

did you follow the guide to complete remove all mod traces too?

I think there is one somewhere in the discord not sure where

[hollow mantle]

It's not really right to say that Valheim (or any game) shouldn't hit 77%+ GPU usage - there are a tonne of factors involved - resolution, graphics settings, whether there are overrides set, frame rate, etc... It will also entirely depend on where in the game you are - in a large high instance count base, you'll get lower FPS and higher utilisation.

I'm running a 4070 and hit 97% utilisation in the main menu, whilst getting around 75fps, on a 2560x1600 screen.

But these are my settings:

Now, in our base, I get 50%-60% utilisation, and around 40fps:

Yeah, I'm not surprised on a 4080. I would have gone for that if I could have afforded it.

Laptop.

And out in the meadows, during a storm, it's back up to like 90%, and 70-75fps...

But, drop the settings to Very Low, and I'm hitting 140fps at times, and 25%-30% utilisation:

So, yeah, it's not as simple as 'better video card = lower utilisation'...

Well, while I don't think it would be fair to say that the game is 'not optimised', it is still in early access, and my impression is that the devs are more focussed on content currently, as the game runs well on a wide range of hardware, when set up correctly.

[spiral cipher]

Would full padded be best for Ashlands at first? Or should I keep the root harness?

[subtle parrot]

There's a lot of fire

But also, mistlands comes after plains so you should have better armor before going to ashlands anyways

[spiral cipher]

Oh yeah, I have caprice or what ever armor now lol sorry, I usually stop playing when I get to mistlands. Full caprice armor, not padded

[subtle parrot]

Lol right on, no worries but yeh, there's a lot of fire, so the root would be not great unless you're cool with taking fire potions with you everywhere. Same thing with the feather cape if you use it, in case you haven't seen the changes it is now very weak to fire.

[hollow mantle]

Go full carapace.

[spiral cipher]

Yeah I seen all that. I brought 20 fire potions on my boat. Ended up running into a bunch of the fire skeletons, coulpe vultures, and a bone maw as soon as I hit land

Think I swapped zones close by because I killed a bone maw not even 4 minutes before hitting land. Had a 2nd one pop up

[subtle parrot]

Yup it's a war zone out there

[spiral cipher]

Seems like each biome has more than the last as a landing welcome party

[compact heath]

Ashlands has surprisingly little fire damage (only 2 monsters) unless you like to walk into fires (damage not too high) or hop in the lava but that might actually be heat damage mostly not fire

[subtle parrot]

Heat damage is worse for sure, but the lava will set you on fire though it doesn't matter much cause the heat is almost instant death

[agile moon]

is there a way to increase the brightness? even when i place touches + campfire down in my house i cant see much at night i cant see anything at night on my laptop but i can see ok on my pc

[misty ginkgo]

Is parry strength calculated by Block Armor x Parry multiplier?

Trying to figure out if Skol and Hati is strong enough to parry the bugs in the mistlands or if I still need to use a buckler

[true steeple]

Block armor when parrying is block armor * parry bonus

[vivid cairn]

Hey, new around these parts, does that mean each enemy has a threshold in which that maths effects the parry threshold?

like level 1 leather armor and wood shield cant parry a troll. but a bronze buckler ups it to a threshold

[true steeple]

Block skill and max health also affect what you can block

[vivid cairn]

word. so just dont get hit 😉

[true steeple]

If you keep your health above 0 you can’t die, it’s so easy

[spiral cipher]

Is there a devcommand to clear weather fog?

[lapis terrace]

yes.

env clear

env means "enviroment" and you can set them manually and it sticks until you logout or close the game

tho it does mess up alot of the "natural" things aswell

[agile jay]

There is also the “resetenv” command instead of logging out

why do dantelions keep growing through my floor?

[subtle parrot]

Life finds a way

[dusky mica]

did that but didn't work

I get similar temperatures to you of ~60-70°C when playing valheim, on the other hand I get those some numbers on other demanding games as well

[shy shard]

How rare are tetra fish lakes ? I heard the large ones are mega rare, less than 1/seed on average, but I heard the small ones are more common

I'm yet to get my hands on one

[thorn spire]

keep checking the ice caves.

It took me a while to find my first.

[hollow cloak]

you can get quite a few but some of them are hard to find, it is just a case of hunting all the caves until you find them as not all mountains have caves, not all caves have the lakes

[shy shard]

I've been hunting caves passionately, I think I've harvested over 150 fenris hair at this point

[hollow cloak]

you can search for valheim-map.world and it can show you where the caves are on your map seed

[desert fable]

Is there a way to change the name of your valheim world or no?

[shy shard]

I don't have the seed sadly as this is in a friend group server where I'm not admin

I asked the admin for it but haven't heard back

[shy shard]

I think you can manually edit the save file on your computer

[upbeat fossil]

how long does it take for a Root to Regenerate fully

[true steeple]

What root?

If you mean the elder’s roots or roots from a staff of the wild, it probably regenerates full health over an hour like everything else, but it would despawn before it can heal much.

[upbeat fossil]

Mistlands

[true steeple]

I don’t know how long they take to regenerate, but since sap can be extracted while they regenerate you can just leave a single extractor on it and you’ll still get some sap.

There’s no point having multiple on an empty root though

[upbeat fossil]

oh thanks than i can place all my ten sap colectors on my different roots right ?

[subtle parrot]

Yeh

[true steeple]

Yes, that will work

[crystal kiln]

it regenerates like 90% as fast as one extractor can extract

[fresh fable]

guys I just need help I need to take host from my friend he is the host but I want to host now I took all the save files I even look to the youtube they take files from ''worlds'' we did the same thing but it not worked our folder is ''worlds_local'' how can I do this

[unkempt oyster]

What should i have from black forest before i got to the swamp?

[crystal kiln]

troll armor, mace, buckler
food

[true steeple]

Level 3 troll or bronze armor, a level 3 bronze weapon, a level 3 bronze buckler or bone tower shield if using a 1h weapon, food made at a cauldron and poison resistance mead.

[crystal kiln]

poison resist mead and axe recommended

[wispy dome]

at minimum, I'd recommend bronze buckler, bronze axe, karve, poison potions and black forest tier food (carrot food)

[crystal kiln]

mace for anything that isnt a tree
axe for the trees
poison resist mead cuz some mobs in there can and will delete 80% of your healthbar with a single proc

[wispy dome]

and carry a portal to place it in the swamp so if you die you can come back, swamp can be deadly, specially for newer players

[true steeple]

You’ll need a portal so you don’t have to sail/walk back to your base every night

[crystal kiln]

"can be" is an understatement xd
even experienced players just take random Ls in there

[wispy dome]

I mean, how deadly can a permanent debuff (wet), unblockable damage (poison) and sneaky enemies (wraiths and abominations) possibly be? 😂

[unkempt oyster]

Okay thanks a lot

This game is a grind😫

[lapis terrace]

do you know about the world modifiers?

[crystal kiln]

and as far as debuffs go wet is a pretty horrifying one

[fresh fable]

no one knows anything Im playing it on xbox

[lapis terrace]

you need world.db and world.fwl for it to work

[wispy dome]

is it possible to transfer worlds in xbox? 😲

[crystal kiln]

swamp offers:
-a low visibility environment
-crap terrain
-random leveled enemies to delete you
-flying mobs
-mobs with a two-shotting debuffs
-drastically reduced stamina and health reg

[lapis terrace]

haven't tried it 🤔

[lapis terrace]

those 3 files are the minimap only

[fresh fable]

that is the all files in ''worlds_local''

[lapis terrace]

probably is in the cloud 🤔

[fresh fable]

gonna fix and update my progress

[true steeple]

But most enemies there are incredibly predictable

[crystal kiln]

thats the entire game

[true steeple]

Except charred warriors
And all the enemies with the random circling movement

[crystal kiln]

swamp is likely the biggest spike of difficulty in the game
ashlands is a very close second

[mellow lodge]

i felt mistlands pre-feather cape was worse than swamp for me

but swamp was a big jump from black forest

[crystal kiln]

swamp is annoying af until you get your first two root armour pieces

[fresh fable]

okay when my friend downloaded local data in his computer and send me to the files it worked it means I'm the host right?

[wispy dome]

if you start the game world yes

[mellow lodge]

my first run in with the swamp was before the root armor was added. wasn't really necessary imo. i did grab the root chest this run and use it this time

[crystal kiln]

its just pierce resist to not longer take random leveled dragr arrows to the back and a permanent poison resist so you can use your crafting stations for something else

[lapis terrace]

it means you can host on PC

[mellow lodge]

yeah. i'm weird that i only really used poison resist for Bonemass. I was fine avoiding leeches and blobs manually.

[lapis terrace]

high level club and you usually 2-3 hit kill those 2

[crystal kiln]

as per usual the issue tends to be random attacks when fighting an abomination or similar

poison to the back while already fighting suuuuucks

[mellow lodge]

yeah, that makes sense

[fresh fable]

thanks a lot man that cloud thing really saved us

you can adjust things with world modifiers

like drop-rate

so the game become less grindy

I'm currently running as a knife main.

Is there any benefit to using Skoll & Hati over a Dark Metal Knife with a buckler?

Like, I know the damage buff is pretty decent, but the base parry bonus only being 11 is a little concerning considering how friggin strong seekers are, let alone the 1 star seekers

[charred wagon]

anyone know what the name for an asksvin spawner is?

also why does the 1-handed flametal mace have 50 less durability than Nidhögg? Maces are by far the most durable weapon in combat, doesn't suffer from going dull like sword/knives...

if anything since it has a penalty to multi-targets unlike the sword, shouldn't it have 50 to 100 more?

I'm thinking this is an oversight?

[granite heath]

any ideas for a roof?

[crystal kiln]

well, you always have to work with a 2x2 grid

else the clipping and snapping gets a bit annoying

[abstract rain]

Excuse me what do i do here?...

[frosty frost]

either sail to it or try finding one of the other 3 spots, but considering the location i dont think there will be one much closer, you can try to search in direction away from the current location you aquired

[abstract rain]

I was thinking more in the direction of generating a new world lol, but thanks

[frosty frost]

yeah, that is always an option if you are not too far in 🙂 but on this world... not much you can do

[shut zinc]

Is there a certain range on Blood Magic gain if allied skellies get kills & hits in?

[raw herald]

Hi everyone! I´ve been planning to do a fishing event for a smaller server, I´ve been part of for years.

I´ve planned all through, about multiple biome-dependent rounds to clothes and resources given to the participants, and am currently building the fishing stations, for every round. I´ve encountered a problem though with the fishes itself, as they spawn wildly.

I´ll have to be next to the participants in case of raids or difficult monsters, so I can´t just use cmd in dev mode throughout the events...
Is there any way to actually ensure fishes to spawn without me close by?
I mean meadows fish for meadows, river to river, trollfish to black forest, ocean to ocean and so on...

are there certain conditions to be met (apart from biome) like depth of water? If someone could help me with it please use 🎣 before answering.
So I can sort through the answers quickly.

[delicate crest]

if one player can't connect to dedicated sever with connection stuck (not failed to connect), what could be the reason? other players can connect just fine
this one player's name can be clearly seen as connected when pressing F2, but he never loads in game

[spark shell]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones
are you looking for this? tbh i am having slighty hard time understanding what u exactly plan xd

[jaunty kayak]

I always have problem with joining multiplayer friends server ,well i always join but after 5mins of fighting, whats the issue?

[raw herald]

that´s actually pretty good! If I can reduce the time between each spawn roll for the fishes, they could spawn quicker or at a higher chance... I already figured it would be difficult if there is no spawner one can build in creative but this will help! Thank you!!!

[ember garden]

how i can join my friend im on pc and him on xbox thx

[frosty frost]

either one of you needs to enable crossplay when starting the server

[orchid iron]

You can't destroy a karve with a hammer ?

[frosty frost]

you cant any boat, just hit it with weapon and stay at the mast so you pick up everything 🙂

[orchid iron]

I tried that with a raft, I lose all of the leather scraps and almost all of the resins, am not sure if am doing something wrong and this was on shore so even if the mats dropped I should have been able to pick them up

[frosty frost]

be sure to have enough space and carry weight before doing that 😉

[orchid iron]

Hmm, I'll try again with a raft before doing that with the karve, I can't afford to lose my bronze nails. Thank you

[orchid iron]

Nice it worked, thank you 😄

[ember garden]

I have a lot of bugs when I play with my friend on xbox saxhant that I am pc, I am disconnected all the time. is this normal?

[crude shore]

skoll and hati is good as an inbetween step after the iron buckler, but before the carapace buckler. when comparing to the carapace buckler, the main benefit is you don't have the -5% movement speed of the shield. also, looking at the parry numbers on the wiki, it looks like it can parry a 0* seeker bite without an issue at 0 blocking skill. the claw and double claw attacks are parryable if you have a high enough block skill. when looking at 1* seekers, that's much more dicey to parry with S&H - I'd just move on to the carapace buckler at that point.

also, the black metal shield is in roughly the same boat as S&H power wise, but the main benefit of that shield is that it can be upgraded for better parry block armor, which bridges the gap to the carapace buckler better

[frosty frost]

Or you can roll 🙂

[crude shore]

or you can roll ^.^

[pseudo sphinx]

on mods:

if my friend downloads all the mods i have, can he then join a server i make?

[subtle parrot]

#mods-issues better for that question

[crude shore]

another tip: you can use the hoe to make some water that's just waist deep that the karve can sail in. that way if the nails drop by accident, you can still reach them in the water

[unkempt spire]

Tips on reeling in the big one? do i turn my viking walk backwards or just stand and hold right click?

[crystal kiln]

you place your bobber as close as possible to shore, pull the fish and then spamm E to grab it

hildir clothing and 3x stamina food helps

[gritty flicker]

Hello, i am trying to play the game but is crashing before open , any ideas why this is happening ?

[wispy dome]

meaning it's crashing on the loading screen after you selected a character to play with and it's loading the world?

[gritty flicker]

no it crashing when i press Play button on steam

it doesn't even starting on welcome screen of the game

[wispy dome]

then I'm not too sure, you could try to verify game files but in general people get crashes by clicking or alt tabing on a loading screen

[frosty frost]

i would try the classics, as Shadow said try verifying files and if that doesent help try reinstal, other than that i really dont know

[wispy dome]

the most usual advice is to not do anything in a loading screen but I'm not sure that's your issue

[gritty flicker]

i did verify files but same

[inland storm]

Any tips on how to trap wolves so I can tame them? They keep breaking my wooden log enclosure down while I’m down smelting bars 😦

[mellow lodge]

Put them in a hole

[inland storm]

Sweet I’ll give that a shot - there’s a hole nearby from me digging out some silver

[crude shore]

first, I would try 1) disabling any mods if you have any, 2) updating your graphics card drivers, and 3) fully uninstalling / reinstalling the game.

If that doesn't work, there's a guide on reddit that goes through a laundry list of weird things that can crash the game (e.g. Citrix Workspace conflicts with the Unity engine which causes a crash at startup). Take a look at that to see if anything applies to you. Link is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

Pay extra close attention to Section 1 Number 2, because that message he mentions: ERROR: SymGetSymFromAddr64, GetLastError: 'Attempt to access invalid address.' is in the log file you posted. It could still be something else, but just make sure not to skip over that part.

[sudden galleon]

you play with mods ?

[lapis terrace]

if @gritty flicker don't use mods. it's a broken Harddrive

or a dual install problem

[crude shore]

the link I posted also has a bunch of potentially conflicting software that can potentially mess with the unity engine - citrix, overwolf, msi utility, av blocking something, etc
but yeah, my gut reaction was something hardware related

[lapis terrace]

it's usually mods

like 99% of the time, it's mods or broken mods or removed mods

but that 1% is hardware

[native agate]

Can someone tell me what yagluth is weak I don’t wanna die again 🙏

[hollow mantle]

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

Basically, weak to nothing, neutral to blunt, slash, frost, lightning, spirit.

[native agate]

What would the best weapon be

[native agate]

I have frostner and black metal atgeir

[hollow mantle]

Frostner should be good. Blunt + Frost, iirc.

[plush knot]

Frostner goated
Relevant for so many biomes

[hidden onyx]

Hello,
I get scammed by the game, every time I cook something.... why is this happening / how can I fix it ?
Explanation - examples :

• I've 10 fish in my inventory, I start to cook them over the fire, at the end I've only 8 cooked fish left.... 2 missing
• I made 8 uncooked mushrooms, put 4 in the oven, the 4 other just disappeared from my inventory 😦

It happens permanently with all kind of food..... happens sometimes, when I destroy a table or so, I don't get everything back.... 😦

I play on a dedicated server....

Thanks 🙂

[hollow mantle]

If you have a bad connection then the server/client may not update correctly. If you’re having issues, don’t just keep on trying, logout and back in, that will force a new connection.

@hidden onyx

[copper raven]

do i understand this right? If I kill a troll inside a troll cave, that stops them from spawning in that area permanently? But if i kill them outside the cave they will continue to respawn?

[copper raven]

look on the ground. When i cook certain things i stand in a particualr place, and removing things like deer meat from the 3 cooking racks will put half in my inv, and half on the floor behind me. Basically some just dont hit me and fall tot he floor. But the table part seems to indicate what Scott said....or a server that somehow accounts for damage when you deconstruct stuff, and givews you less back.

[lilac coyote]

The Troll spawns both inside and/or outside a Troll cave are one time only.

You'll still get random zone spawns though.

[mystic solar]

When you play on a server with someone else nearby, be very careful when "feeding" any crafting station with material. Due to lag you may end up putting in more items than the station can hold, and ovens will "eat" the extras. Put mats in one by one, making care the previous one is counted before putting the next, is the work around.
This stuff tends to happen when another player is chunk owner, and their machine / connection is slow.
If you want to cook a lot of items fast, wait to be alone in the area, aka you are chunk owner, then it will be fine.

[vivid root]

Is anyone able to help me recover my loot from the swamp, im pretty much new to the game and yeah i cant seem to make it out of there without dying lol

[silver bone]

Looking for player who crafted Dyrnwyn and can make screenshot of description in black forge in polish language version. I need it for polish wikia.

[frosty frost]

is this enough? or do you really need it to be in black forge?

@silver bone

[silver bone]

Thank you ❤️

Wait!

From black forge - I need name of materials.

[frosty frost]

not sure if you can read that tho

[frosty frost]

there, should be readable now 🙂

[silver bone]

Perfect! Thank you.

[hidden onyx]

No there is nothing on the ground, it's just gone.

Thanks

[eternal nebula]

Hello, what are the best settings for gtx 1060 3gb 60fps?

[tired burrow]

I might be able to in a few hours. how soon do you need?

[tall vine]

I can jump in if you still need it

[loud linden]

Are you sorted? I could help too

[warm kayak]

Does anyone knows, why my character is glitching while walking sometimes?

[frosty frost]

glitch how?

[warm kayak]

I just walk and then he gets slower and moves like he's stuck

[frosty frost]

Hmm, never heard of that particular glitch, are you sure there are not just obstacles in a way? And ofcourse classic question is: are you using any mods?

[warm kayak]

I just started building and there is still natural terrain, no

i just resart the game

[frosty frost]

try restart, verifying files and maybe reinstal, maybe it will help

[warm kayak]

Hopefully

it still glitches :/

and i don't have a clip because it laggs on record :/

[frosty frost]

i have no idea why it does that

[warm kayak]

me neither

[sudden galleon]

keyboard maybe? does it do it when you use auto run ?

[warm kayak]

Nope only when normally walking :/

[frosty frost]

then maybe some weird input from the keyboard 🤔 do you have other keyboard you could try it with?

[warm kayak]

i can see if i have to clean my KB

[sudden galleon]

try rebinding the w key to another key like q for testing

[warm kayak]

i'll try

[noble iron]

We're looking for a way to disable character saves server side for our HC map? When people die they can just load character saves to come right back in.

[true steeple]

In valheim the players own their characters, not the server

[timid trail]

Hey, everyone!! I have a issue with a finewood ... I made a new world and a new character just over a month ago, playing hard+, map+portal and more raids, no mods. I was killed several times near my portals, by the time i get back, my portals get destroyed, workbench is there, cores, eyes, only finewood vanishes. If i have a fine wood with me, its not in a tombstone.... all is there, just finewood is gone! Anyone has seen anything like it? That did not happen in the previous 3 worlds i had before!

[noble iron]

I'm looking for a mod similar to how mincecraft works in hardcore

You can't revive your char in Mc when when you die, bit you can log in and out

[true steeple]

In valheim with the hardcore difficulty preset, all skills and held items are deleted, so the character is almost completely reset upon death

You can also use world modifiers for the same effect without changing game difficulty

[tired burrow]

Is there any faster way to level skills on a new character in game? I accidentally used console commands with my main character so now I have a cheat tag on him. just wondering, or if I have to just create a new one, and deal with it.

[true steeple]

Don’t worry about the cheat tag. All it does is show up in the stats command, which can’t be used without cheats anyway.

[tired burrow]

okay thanks. was just wondering if it showed up when i join a server or anything. on the flip side, if I do join a server with admins who are allowed to investigate that, I don't think it'd go over well

[brave epoch]

Anyone want to help me take out yagolith on my server?

[tired burrow]

sure

when?

and I don't have a mic, so we'd have to use just in game chat :/

[brave epoch]

Oh ok, i sent you the game ip

[noble iron]

You can still go to the main menu after death, load your character saves and you back in the game with all.your gear. I need to chat with someone that knows the game well. I'm 2500 hours in

[true steeple]

There is no way to stop players from doing that. Characters can’t be saved to the server, or at least not without mods? Maybe you could ask in #mods-discussion if there are any mods for this.

[cyan kettle]

I'm using ServerCharacters mod for this. It can be easily turned off without the need of removing it.

Do you own the server or have access to change used mods?

[noble iron]

Thanks a million man!

[noble iron]

I'm the owner of the server

Just trying to keep the community honest and have a tight game

[cyan kettle]

glad to help, my friend.
I'm quite new to Valheim and currently trying to create community that I can later try to keep :-D

[south ridge]

Hello

What do you guys think about dundr?

[vernal mango]

Does anyone know of any good modpacks for the game? Me and my partner have already played through once unmodded and would like to do a modded play through next if anyone has any suggestions :3

[hollow mantle]

Try asking in #mods-discussion

[vernal mango]

I must have skipped over that channel when I looked originally thank you :3

[spiral cipher]

Is it possible for enemies to spawn outside their biome? I'm having fuelings spawn in the meadows

[true steeple]

When you kill bosses, their biome's enemies can spawn in other biomes at night

But they'll despawn at day

[native fjord]

What in gods name is this

[true steeple]

When does this show? Are you using any mods, or have you installed mods previously?

[native fjord]

When I just open it from steam, I just uninstalled and reinstalled

Had mods but uninstalled them to start vanilla then that happened

[true steeple]

Right click Valheim in the steam library to browse local files, delete EVERYTHING, then uninstall and reinstall from steam

[native fjord]

I did that, reinstalling now

AHA, did all that for nothing

[true steeple]

Did you delete everything in the folder before reinstalling

[native fjord]

yes

okay alright, I think my valheim is just fucked

[true steeple]

How long have you waited for the screen to change?

[native fjord]

5-10 minutes

I'll give it one more

[willow raft]

Maybe try these steps: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/
Also update all drivers.

[native fjord]

I hear music, but the screen is the same

So.. turned out to be registry related.

[marsh charm]

Hi. How long does it take for a monolith in the plains to crash after the base was fully chopped away and theres no connection to the ground?

[frosty frost]

not long, but be sure its really dug out properly

[true steeple]

The rock checks for terrain a few metres away from the model, so make sure there is enough space between terrain/other objects and the rock.

[frosty frost]

basically think of it as mining copper, make a lot bigger hole than you think you need 🙂

[shy shard]

I was never able to dig out all the terrain around a copper node to do the trick I keep hearing about

They're just so large and deep

[true steeple]

You usually need to cut them in half and only break the top

[thorn spire]

it is possible to dig around them and break them, but it takes a while. it's not as easy as silver.

[frosty frost]

yeah, its extremly rare to get one you can mine the bottom off, i never got one in about 800 hours, it would need to be on top a hill presumably

[thorn spire]

I do it all the time. Sometimes the copper node will go below the minimum ground level, but it's usually only a bit.

[keen escarp]

has anyone else had horrible framerate and stuttering specifically in mistlands zones since ashlands released?

[frosty frost]

nope

[lilac coyote]

No, Mistlands hasn't been affected by the Ashlands update.

[dusty sun]

Can you transfer a Xbox Game Pass (PC) save to Steam?

[shy shard]

Yes

[dusty sun]

just installed the game on steam and now the game pass version does not stop syncing

[shy shard]

Both installs might be conflicting

first of all, disable cloud saves on both sides to make sure there is no conflict there

Then you can lookup the save files on your computer

[dusty sun]

I restarted my PC and it worked, thx

[hoary wadi]

how can i use ancient bark?

[frosty frost]

it is a material needed for few things, you cant build much with it tho i am afraid

[lilac brook]

Why cant i spawn items? Can anyone help?

[lilac coyote]

Have you enabled the console? Have you enabled devcommands? Is the Item ID correct?

[upbeat fossil]

what is better 2x Eitr food and 1x Health or 1x Stam ? (Mistlands)

[true steeple]

2 eitr and 1 stamina is best. You don’t need health because of the staff of protection.

[subtle parrot]

Probably stam for keeping your distance

#mods-discussion

[eager canyon]

mb

[cyan kettle]

I need to use 2 etir foods to summon skeletons. my blood magic is 23 and it takes 93 etir to summon

[true steeple]

If you have a staff of protection, you should be using 2 eitr and 1 stamina food anyway

[frosty frost]

#mods-discussion

[untold dust]

can someone help me with joining a public server if they exist?

[frosty frost]

There are only player run servers, not true "public servers" unfortunately, tho we have channel where people make posts if they want someone to join them or if they themselves want to join some server ---> #1024264966712340510 🙂

[untold dust]

thanks! ill see if they can help me 🙂

[frosty frost]

just be prepared, sometimes it takes quite a bit of time till you get a reply 🙂

[compact heath]

I prefer 3 eitr food for mage

[thorn spire]

I've been doing fine, even in ashlands, with 1 health, 1 stam and 1 eitr. I'm running a hybrid build though, mostly using eitr for my bubble and the occasional blast with frost staff.

[white mortar]

hey me and my friends were fighting Modor and the mountain we found was really far away and we all died (to be expected and then the portal broke and now we would need to sail at least 4 hours to get back and i was just thinking if i could fly and set the portal back up but my commands aren't working if anyone could help would be appreciated

[compact heath]

commands only work in singleplayer or with a mod, could load world in singleplayer, fly over, and then re-upload to server (or have an epic advanture sailing back)

[white mortar]

ive tried to do that but the dev console doesn't seem to work also I'm not sure if I'm doing it right

[compact heath]

Right click "Valheim" in your steam library. Go to properties. Under "Launch Properties" at the bottom type "-console" in the box without the quotes. Launch the game.

At any time while in the game press F5 to open the console window.

Type "devcommands" without quotes in the console window then press <enter> to toggle dev commands.

To use debug mode make sure devcommands are enabled. Type "debugmode" without quotes to toggle debugmode.

Repeating either command while they are enabled will disable them.

[compact heath]

[languid ridge]

Would a windmill in the plains being ~50% covered be able to process 50 barley in at least 3 hours of in game time?

[compact heath]

i haven't done the maths but it sounds like it should, wind strength also varies and that will play a role in how fast it will happen, 3 h seems a lot more time then would be needed

[zenith tendon]

Is there a maxed amount of pigs in my yard

[hollow cloak]

yes there is a cap of 5 boars for every 10 meters

you can however use certain builds to make farms that overcome that limit, just search for the videos

[zenith tendon]

I kill the pigs if they don’t make kids

[junior pivot]

Any idea what can cause random valheim lags that makes sounds stutter and game for short time on modded server?

It happens in specific areas like places where our house built

[willow raft]

That here is the key the more you build the more instances there are that needs to be loaded, you'll notice it happens the moment you portal in or get close to home.
It might also happen when the game is autosaving.

[junior pivot]

All is built a small house 🤔 might have to check my screen fresh rate too. Maybe it can't keep up with game

[lime nacelle]

First timer, should Elder be beatable with Troll armor or should I invest in going for bronze first?

Planning to try fire arrowing him down with my lv3 Finewood

[willow raft]

Troll is good enough.

[lime nacelle]

Thanks! I should be working right now so I'll try to give it a go tonight haha

[true steeple]

Troll armor is good enough for the 4th biome

[lime nacelle]

Oh, good to know. I haven't really done much with Bronze yet so it just feels like I shouldn't be ready for the boss lol.

[true steeple]

Bronze armor slows you down and is too expensive, so most players don’t make it.

[lime nacelle]

Just a pickaxe and axe, really. Besides the crafting-related bronze items.

[true steeple]

Have you made a bronze buckler or bone tower shield to go with that axe, or made another bronze weapon?

[lime nacelle]

Nope

[true steeple]

You should do that, you’ll need to be ready for melee combat in the next biome, and it could help speed up the fight with the elder.

[lime nacelle]

I considered making the spear but haven't gotten around to it. Gathering the ore has been a bit tedious because it's quite far from my base

[true steeple]

Have you started farming carrots yet?

[lime nacelle]

Looking him up it feels silly that a TREE BOSS is immune to Chop damage

[lime nacelle]

Nope I haven't seen a carrot in the game 👀

[true steeple]

The axe would be too strong if he took chop damage

[lime nacelle]

I wanted to try to tame some boars but I was trying to use the roundpole fence and I don't think that's the right thing to do? I couldn't get it to line up properly. I should just youtube it

[true steeple]

Look for large white flowers, they’re carrot seeds. You’ll need a cultivator to farm turnips from the next biome, and you’ll need those to make good food in all the later biomes because they make a cauldron improvement.

[lime nacelle]

Oh I misunderstood the wiki here. So Chop is just damage vs neutrals, Slash is the damage type for axe vs enemy?

[true steeple]

Chop damage is just for trees and build pieces. Axes deal slash damage and chop damage.

[vivid root]

is anyone free to hop in my world and help me recoveer my lost loot in the plains?

[tired burrow]

this evening most likely. what time zone are you in? for planning reasons, I'm in EST

[rigid swallow]

Am i correct in that i shouldn't be taming boars located around a boar statue?

[willow raft]

Doesn't matter.

Those statues just have a small chance to spawn a starred boar even if it is closer than 800 meters from spawn.

[rigid swallow]

Ah, I thought i read somewhere that boars spawned by the statue have different behaviour to regular spawned boars

[willow raft]

Nope, all the same, they just have a chance to be starred.

[rigid swallow]

Ok cool thank you 🙂

[subtle parrot]

I think what you're thinking of is how if you tame a boar and then try to move it from it's spawn area, it will be trying to escape and go back to it's spawn area even though it's your tame. In which case you can just wait til it breeds and makes a piggy and then you can slaughter the one that keeps trying to escape.

[rigid swallow]

Ah okay, yeah that was what i was thinking of 🙂 ok thank you I'll do that

[tired burrow]

hehe it's the same with dvergr. they always want to go back to their spawn. pain in the rear end trying to get them to your base especially since they'll aggro if you use the harpoon XD

[willow raft]

I never take dvergr to my base if you see how destructive they are to their own dwellings I wouldn't like to find out how destructive they are to mine.

[tired burrow]

I put some all the way inside mine, and then spawnproofed it XDd

[tired burrow]

they now operate little shops

[willow raft]

Must be fun to see them wandering around and saying stuff like "I don't remember you being so tall."

[tired burrow]

and " do all humans look like you? you're so... nevermind" is hilarious

[willow raft]

Yeah.

[wintry cedar]

is there a way to take the save file from a dedicated server onto a single player server?

[late hawk]

did i do something wrong with planting vineberries? i planted them all on one long wooden wall, they all grew onto it but no vineberries are appearing

[tiny violet]

They barely sprout fruit when planted for some reason. I have a huge wall of vineberry and only sporadically can I harvest them. Someone mentioned that in the PTB for Ashlands they re-grew better. Some people have said they seem to regenerate faster at the original source vs re-planted, but I don’t know. I’ve taken to marking places on my map where there are loads and loads of them, and keep a portal nearby. Renewable ones at home are nice, but sometimes it’s better to just find a colosseum type place in the Ashlands that has tons of walls of it, mark it on map, and place a portal. Just hop thru and harvest once in a while

[late hawk]

thanks

[hoary viper]

i’ve been playing the game a lot and i’m ready to go to the mistlands but i’ve heard it’s incredibly hard. idk how to approach it though because i’ve never been there outside of saying hi to some dwarfs and chopping some exposed yggdrasil shoots for the black metal pickaxe. i’m experienced with this game but i’m concerned i’m going to have a very bad time with the mistlands based on what people have said about the difficulty.

[true steeple]

Mine some black marble to make new food before going into infested mines, that’ll make it a lot easier

[hoary viper]

ok i’ll do that thx

[zenith tendon]

How to fish ? Every time they stuck in water

[lapis terrace]

you need to find a fishing pole

[zenith tendon]

I have

They stuck in water

[flint yoke]

The correct bait is required too

[lapis terrace]

correct bait for each type of fish, and alot of stamina

then reel in

[zenith tendon]

But they don’t come next to me if I right click

[true steeple]

You need to wait for a sphere to appear around the fish, that means it’s attached to the rod.

[lapis terrace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scuMc20PONo

Embr is great explaining stuff 🙂

[hoary viper]

are tames worth it? it seems like it might be useful to tame boar or loxen especially because i have a mod that disables raid events

[frosty frost]

you know you can disable raids in vanila right? 😄 and i would say yes, it is, if you are not speedrunning that is

[hoary viper]

oh damn i didn’t know that; thx for telling me.

[frosty frost]

no problem 🙂 its in the world modifiers menu

[fathom badge]

In general it's preferable to run without mods if you don't need them, that way you won't get incompatibilities or have to wait when updates happen.

[tiny violet]

It all sort of depends on your playstyle and what you enjoy. I would say yeah the tames are worth it overall. But if you’re the type who loathes the thought of taking the time to tame and reproduce etc then it certainly can be ignored/avoided without total setback. But if you want to put in a little work now, in return for easy replenishable stuff down the road, then yeah it’s nice. It’s also easier to stockpile if you have a group.

I mostly ignored tames my first couple playthroughs. One time I wanted wolves so I tamed them. Then I needed boar meat yo feed them so I also tamed boars.

[hoary viper]

only ones i have are non-content ones that wouldn’t break the save if uninstalled but i know what you mean

[tiny violet]

Other playthroughs especially solo, I didn’t want to be bothered with taming so just went to mountains and slaughtered wolves when I needed meat. And in Plains I’d often just make trips there just to kill Lox.

[frosty frost]

i usually ignore loxes, too much hustle for the reward imo, you get all the meat you need just by running through plains 🙂

[tiny violet]

Also, in Mistlands, ||you have some HP foods that do equal or almost equal stats- serpent stew, lox pie, meat platter, and honey glazed chicken. Basically whichever is easiest replenishable for you. I made a lot of meat platters because I had so much seeker meat. But I was running out of hare meat and farming hares was a chore. Then I hatched two eggs and began a chicken coop. All ingredients for Honey Glazed chicken are farmable. And the egg omelettes are good too. So I learned late into Mistlands that Chicken coop is worth it||

[quasi vault]

During playthroughs I always build 2 bases, first one in the meadows next to a forest and a final one in the plains. For efficiency sake and to save time later on, I make sure that while I build my base I am taming boars for the first one then lox for the late game one

[fathom badge]

||Hares should only be used for Misthare Supreme, and nothing else ;)||

[quasi vault]

Lox are easy to tame, you dont need any kind of traps, just drop a few small stacks of cloudberries near a group of 3 and start buildings

they will provide all the meat you need and also farm the blackmetal for you

[frosty frost]

||Magic|| makes farming ||hares|| so much easier 😄 (tho i dont use it much, for this reason i ususally make at least the ||staff of embers||)

[minor python]

I’m having trouble trying to figure out a two good eitr foods to cook while I’m in the Ashlands

[true steeple]

Any two (or three if you use three eitr foods) will be good enough, use whatever costs the resources you have most of

[frosty frost]

||seeker aspic|| and ||stuffed mushroom|| are good ones since they are mostly farmable or using ingredients you usually have lots of 🙂 (wait, ashlands? then any of them really)

[true steeple]

I don’t know ashlands food very well because I still haven’t played through it yet. I’ve only used a commands character for combat and some situations that I wanted to try such as mining flametal.

[quasi vault]

If you are going to use magic, it is probably a good idea to put more focus on getting many sap extractors going, for the eitr and for the best eitr food

[cerulean snow]

any tip for queen fight ?

[frosty frost]

Bombs, all the bombs 😄

[cerulean snow]

i tryed Ooze bomb and was usless xD

[tiny violet]

In Ashlands I like the Marinated Greens a lot (they are most eitr). Next I’d prob use seeker aspice because it is so cheap and quick and easy and very good. I think there might be like one or two other ashlands eitr foods that give 85 or 90 eitr, but coupled with marinated greens (95), seeker aspice would be perfectly good I would say

[frosty frost]

ALL the bombs, hundereds and hundereds 😄 (if possible ofc) bile bombs are better but more expensive, also it is just a bonus dmg to the one you are already dealing 🙂

[quasi vault]

Are you not using 3 eitr food?

[cerulean snow]

who ?

[cerulean snow]

hundereds ? thats not possible xD

[quasi vault]

I guess anyone using mage

[cerulean snow]

nah

[tiny violet]

I was replying to someone specifically asking about two eitr foods

[frosty frost]

i believe mages usually use 2 eitr and 1 stam 🤔

[frosty frost]

oh it is 😄 but as i said, it should be only bonus dmg so you dont need that much

[cerulean snow]

what weapon should i use for it ?

[frosty frost]

i usually use mistwalker, but really depends on you

[true steeple]

Both elemental staves work well, and the mistwalker is good too.

[frosty frost]

From what i heard the mage build is quite strong in that fight (and generally too)

[quasi vault]

IMO the queen fight is the only place where magic truly shines and outperform melee, in any other scenario except maybe going back to raid a fuling village, melee will always outperform mage

And we all know melee is so much safer

[frosty frost]

i am not so sure about that honestly, magic can be op as heck (and i am melee main fyi 😄 )

[quasi vault]

It's just not precise, very hit or miss, not great single damage, mostly AOE which spread the damage instead of narrowing down the amount of enemy gradually and efficiently like you can do with melee

Good for support

[true steeple]

The only time I’ve died to a boss is when I fought the queen for the second time (my first time using magic), so melee actually seems to be safer for me

Although now that I’ve practiced with magic more I might be able to kill her faster and more safely with it than melee, she was the first difficult fight I got into with magic so I didn’t really know what I was doing

[quasi vault]

Yeah you depend a lot on your bubble and you are extremely vulnerable when it pops or expire

[true steeple]

I tried to focus too much on summoning and shielding skeletons instead of using elemental staves so I didn’t have enough eitr to defend myself

[quasi vault]

I did both fight a few times with melee and mage on hard, melee is just a matter of dodging the attack and using the special attack. With mage I was not using skeletons, just the frost staff when the queen is alone and fire for the summons, felt a lot easier with mage

[obsidian nova]

yo, have a problem with crafting recipes not showing up in the forge when i have unlocked them. any1 know the issue?

[spiral cipher]

How do I keep a server live, even if I'm host and not online?

[tiny violet]

you can host the server on another pc, or pay a service to do so

[junior pivot]

any idea why my invetory appears like this?

dont know which mod causes

[true steeple]

#mods-issues #mods-discussion #mods-screenshots

[minor python]

No, my friend has been using one health and two eitr, im just the cook for everyone

[true steeple]

Does your friend have a staff of protection yet? With that, one stamina instead of health would be better for keeping at a safe distance

[lost tundra]

2 eitr 1 stamina
Health food is kinda useless imo, u always rely on ur bubble anyway
And extra stamina helps to avoid being cornered
Also in mistlands stamina is musthave

[oak sinew]

anyone can help me with some strong stuff? i just wanna make videos with this

[mellow lodge]

question about zone spawns. So testing the waters with Ashlands, I sailed in, killed a Bonemaw, then backed out again and portalled home. Bonemaws are on a 16m timer, with a max of 1. I'm assuming the 16m timer won't start until I portal back and sail back into that same Ashland spot?

[true steeple]

I think the timer runs constantly

[mellow lodge]

hmm. but i'm away from that 64x64 zone completely. i would think that the game wouldn't do any zone timers there. only in my current zone.

[true steeple]

But you’ll need to be in ashlands when the timer hits 16m for a bonemaw to spawn

[lilac coyote]

Timers will only run in active zones.

[mellow lodge]

Every 4 seconds, zones with a player process their spawners.

okay, that matches what i thought then

[lilac coyote]

If every zone in the world tried to run every 4 seconds the game would grind to a halt.

[mellow lodge]

so 4 seconds after i portal back there and get into that area, it will process the bonemaw spawner. it will notice it's (probably) at 0 and make a note of it.

though, this probably started 4 seconds after i originally killed it

when it's 16m 40sec from when i killed it, then there's a 20% chance to spawn a new Bonemaw.

[quasi vault]

Im not a fan of stamina food wether you play magic or melee, especially for the ashlands where you'd rather have more damage as a mage and more health and more importantly health regen with melee. For the mistlands I feel like when you know how to traverse it, going around the rocks instead of getting on top of them, stamina isn't that necessary.

[mellow lodge]

hrm, i'm probably saying that wrong. it's not 16m 40sec since i killed it, i think.

it's more simply, while there's 0 bonemaws, AND i'm in that zone, every 16min, there's a 20% chance of spawning a new one

however,that doesn't take into account movement. Once i keep pushing forwrard towards the ashlands beach, i will get into new zones with more spawn chances

[lilac coyote]

I think, just maybe, you might be overthinking this.

[mellow lodge]

1000% 🙂

but i needed that bonemaw kill to get my confidence back after my first ashlands attempt. So i call it a success. 🙂

i killed it pretty fast with frost staff and 5 frost arrows. but even then, it probably took 20% health off the boat.

[hollow mantle]

Do you wish to know a trick we used?

[mellow lodge]

i wish to know all tricks, sure!

[drifting spindle]

is there any issue with vineberries currently? ive had this growing for a while and not a single one has produced

[lilac coyote]

No, they just take a long time to grow.

[quasi vault]

I remember when I made my first lightning bow, first thing I shot was a bonemaw on the beach, the thunder effect activated, bounced on the thing like 6 times and the bonemaw died to a single arrow

[hollow mantle]

I’ll spoiler tag it, just in case others don’t…

||put workbenches on the spires, then you can repair the boat as you go, also sail in backwards so you can more easily leave if you need to||

[lilac coyote]

I don't think that's particularly a spoiler. We found it practically essential for getting to the mainland

[mellow lodge]

aha! I was already planning for the 1st one, but i do like the 2nd one.

i think that 2nd idea is pretty smart. Though I don't know how effective I can sail towards the beach that way.

[true steeple]

I didn’t have any problems getting to the ashlands, but a lot of issues after. The first charred warrior I fought had a star and left me below 10 health.

[lilac coyote]

Oof, finding a 1 star warrior early is rough.

[mellow lodge]

i might get Frostner out of storage just for charred warriors.

[true steeple]

I think it was also the first enemy I found after landing, but that could’ve been a twitcher.

[mellow lodge]

i'm going in wiith mage gear however, and plan to generally bomb this crap of things with Embers staff.

[quasi vault]

My last playthrough was a hardcore run, I encountered nothing on my way but I landed about 50 meter from reto's cave and next to the spawner there was 2 2 star warrior and a 2 star warlock

[hollow mantle]

It sure if they’ve been patched yet, but they were/are a little buggy.

Growth and fruiting are both slow. And if you leave/portal away/log out, growth can/could be reverted.

The slow growth/fruiting rates may be intentional, though. Because once you have a few vines established, you’ll soon have more berries and seeds than you know what to do with.

[hollow mantle]

No, it’s not. But I know some people like to discover these things by themselves.

[drifting spindle]

insane if it actually reverts because i have mine halfway across the map lol

[mellow lodge]

no harm in spoiler tagging, even if we generally assume people here are fully spoiled

[hollow mantle]

I’ve not grown any new vines since the latest update, but I found that when I was getting our vines set up at our Meadows base, while chunks of vine and berry clusters would just disappear if I left that area for any reason.

[ruby cloak]

Currently using Gportal to host and it’s been fine for the people close to the server on the west coast but not so much for the people on the east coast. Moved it to mid-US and it was… ok. Not great. Who’s the best hosting provider that will give both east and west US users a decent ping/connection?

[terse scroll]

@lofty orchid Hi all, I'm looking for some informed individuals to ask about game performance/FPS issues.
I've an RX 7800 XT gpu, i7 10700 KF cpu (3.80ghz) and 48gb of DDR4 (3200mhz) for my hardware, running at 2560p (fullscreen, on a 4K TV). Windows 11. Steam.

At minimum graphical settings I get around 50FPS out in the Meadows, dropping to 45 at maximum settings. In a big base I drop to 20-30 regardless of my settings. This is unmodded. Using Vulkan feels slightly better, but the numbers don't change.

My friends have similar specs on different hardware and they get roughly the same performance. Google searches indicate we aren't alone with weird performance levels either.

I've no doubt its on the devs radar, but is there any timeframe on improvements here?

[crude shore]

try pressing alt+enter twice. this will take you out of fullscreen then put you back in fullscreen. a lot of folks on reddit have said this gives them a significant fps boost

[lilac coyote]

Why did you tag @lofty orchid in that?

[terse scroll]

I figured mods would be more in the loop regarding development than the average player

[hollow mantle]

So, your experience, your friends experiences, and what you found on Google, those all align. Yet you consider it “weird”.

Valheim is an extremely CPU bound game. And I believe only utilises a few CPU cores and not many threads. Plus the performance difference between different CPUs is much smaller than the performance difference between GPUs.

So, yeah, that sounds about right.

[hollow mantle]

ModMail is a bot. Tagging it doesn’t actually tag the mods.

[terse scroll]

Ah, I see, was unaware of that.

[terse scroll]

Thanks for the suggestion, didn't seem to do anything though

[terse scroll]

Regarding "weird" its a matter of perspective. Considering I didn't know the CPU bound(ness?) its certainly weird that Valheim in particular can't keep 60FPS whereas pretty much every other game I've played can.

Still, thanks for your insight. So pretty much we've gotta fork for a specific type of CPU to run the game smoothly?

[hollow mantle]

Not really. I have a i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 and 64GB DDR5 5200. And my FPS drops below 30 occasionally in our main base, but usually it sits between 30 and 50 in said base. It sometimes hits 3 figures out in the wilds, but is usually somewhere between 50 and 99.

[terse scroll]

Damn, thats... upsetting. I wonder why the game was built this way, regarding CPU's I mean. I'm no dev but I've a feeling its too far in to change.

[noble tapir]

valheim uses a ton of lighting calculations - if you want better FPS, you really need to turn down shadows and lighting effects

[hollow mantle]

I don’t know anything about Valheim’s actual code, but I used to be a software engineer and worked in the games industry for a while, so, my educated guess is that it’s basically all the stuff that makes it an open living world - the stability calculations, the creature AIs, and so on. All that stuff is very CPU intensive.

[hollow mantle]

This is true, but the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra, even on a high-end setup, is quite small.

Graphics setting likely make more of a difference on lower end systems, though.

[noble tapir]

i'm on a 5950x with a 3090, and slower speed ram, and get 140+ FPS on 2k and 65-75 on my good sized base with tons of lighting

you have faster ram, and a similar video card as me, and you're getting significantly lower FPS

probably a better processor for gaming too

[hollow mantle]

Nah, your 3090 is significantly better.

[noble tapir]

no, the 4070 is about the same as a 3090

[terse scroll]

If the game isn't fully utilising CPU's like you suspect, changing it to do so should help performance by spreading that workload. Is that sort of change even possible?

[hollow mantle]

3090 is 10-20% better than a 4070

[hollow mantle]

Also, desktop or laptop? That makes a surprising difference.

[hollow mantle]

Answering that would require more knowledge of the code base than I have.

Is it theoretically possible? Sure, but it depends on a whole bunch of factors and may simply not be possible. Splitting some tasks up isn’t practical, and when it is it doesn’t always result in better performance. Often it’s actually worse.

[sharp karma]

my bf plays console and im on pc, is it possible for us to play together or does he have to get it on pc as well?

[hollow mantle]

I believe crossplay is supported.

[terse scroll]

I've played crossplay with some Xbox friends before, so you can yeah.

[hollow mantle]

The difference between a laptop 4070 and an average desktop 3090 is in fact closer to 60%

[noble tapir]

ah, laptop - yah, that'll make a diff for sure

[hollow mantle]

And compared to a 3090 Ti, you’re looking at more like 75-80%

[noble tapir]

this game, though, is more CPU bound, but still, laptop

[hollow mantle]

Agreed, and yep, laptop. It’s a beautiful crazy powerful machine, but it’s still a laptop.

I did however avoid the whole microcode thing by going with a laptop though!

[noble tapir]

i remember looking at these things before, and my GPU was hardly ever utilized in this game

but i get like 8-12 cores at 4.5+ghz

i had issues with my AIO before being blocked(gunk from MSI recall) and the tanking CPU performance killed my game

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, I’ve not looked at it in detail. So it may well be hitting more cores and threads than I think.

[echo ore]

besides thatch roofs, do any other wooden pieces in early game provide protection from rain?

[sudden galleon]

nope! not early

[echo ore]

doh!

ok, ty

[sudden galleon]

next roof tile is in the plain biome

[molten mountain]

i'm curious, do fires scare greydwarfs even when it's all covered up? Is it based on line of sight or the effect radius?

[true steeple]

I think it's based on radius to fire. It's not determined by the fire effect because torches work and don't give the fire effect. I don't know the range though

[fathom badge]

Flat stone pieces count as roof, which is available in the Swamps. But it's not really usable for very large areas.

[fathom badge]

I believe the range is anywhere you see "fire" in your status when standing near it, so ~15m from most fires IIRC.

[sudden galleon]

yea but that not what he ask he ask for wooden piece

[lilac coyote]

It was a useful answer still.

[fathom badge]

Yeah, I know. Sometimes people don't know what they don't know or get locked into a linear thought process 😉 I like dropping a bit more info just in case they weren't aware, because it can lead people to new ideas.

[subtle bay]

Trollstav

[mellow lodge]

Are the weather tool sites accurate for Ashlands?

It just keeps saying Ashrain. Which of course may be right.

oh, i see cinder rain too. looks like it works

[static egret]

i recently started a server with my friends and about 5 mins ago i was just building minding my own business and then some text popped up it stayed there for abt half a second and it was something with the word "death" in it and sorry i dont know alot of words but i thought it was just kinda odd so does anyone know what it meant?

[hollow mantle]

Was there a red circle on your mini map?

[static egret]

nope it wasnt a raid

im about 75 days in

it was a very long text

[hollow mantle]

White text?

[static egret]

yea

[frosty frost]

Could be Hugin?

[static egret]

i have hugin turned off

[hollow mantle]

Haha. I shall let you figure it for yourself then… pretty sure I know what it was.

[static egret]

alr i will if something like it happens again thanks for trying to help👍

[hollow mantle]

I will say this much - do you recall where in your base you were?

[static egret]

uhh i was in a longhouse about on the edge of it i was building a bedroom to me and my 2 friends

[hollow mantle]

I don’t want to say much more - it creeped me out the first time I saw it, but then once I figured out what it was I was like “oh, that’s awesome!”

[static egret]

lol it will probably end like that

anyways thanks for the help have a good rest of your day or night

[frosty frost]

waaaaait... i think i know too now 😄

yeah, he will enjoy it 😄

[static egret]

oh hell no💀 what am i gonna get myself into

[frosty frost]

dont worry too much 😉

[static egret]

i wil not hehe

[subtle parrot]

It's nothing untoward lol

[static egret]

yay

good to know

[static egret]

and it was not a dream btw

[frosty frost]

Oh we know 😄 that has blue text

[unkempt hearth]

can i change the spawn place of new players with command

multipalyer

[crude shore]

looked it up (the death thing) - that's..... new 😂

[lilac coyote]

No, unless you can find a mod that does that.

[echo ore]

i'm trying to place a hanging brazier at the pinnacle of my ceiling here, indicated by the red circle. but when i do, the item just breaks--it won't "stick". if i move it to the side to one of the beams, its fine. i have a vertical 1m beam placed right in the center to serve as a solid anchor point, and that didn't work either. the vertical beam is red-orange, but not fully red. why can't i build a hanging brazier here?

[crude shore]

fully red = the piece breaks. red-orange is pretty much the limit

[echo ore]

right. which is why it shouldn't be breaking. its not fully red yet

i can attach more wood beams to it

so why can't i attach a hanging brazier?

[crude shore]

if the piece it's connecting to is red orange, the next piece - the brazier - will likely be red and break

either way, it needs some reinforcing down below

[echo ore]

well. like i said. the piece is NOT fully red. it is red-orange. i can still place more wood beams on it and those dont break. im NOT at the limit yet.

[crude shore]

for a more technical answer, every piece has a minsupport value, based on the materials it contains. wood is 10, iron is 20

[echo ore]

so the brazier is just too heavy then

[crude shore]

yes

[echo ore]

heavier than the wood so though wood can be supported, brazier can't

[crude shore]

equivelant to the weight of 2 wood pieces

[cerulean snow]

i just came to aslands but i have ores to make a stone portal bc of the stonecutter

its by any chance to get some iron ?

[frosty frost]

you dont need to, bring mats for stone portal to your home base, make stone portal there and take some iron through it into ashlands 🙂 you can connect wood and stone portals and take metals one way through them

[cerulean snow]

ohh im a such a idiot xD

[frosty frost]

after that deconstruct the stone portal in home base and bring it back to get flametal home

😄 nah, lots of people dont realize this

[drowsy mica]

Are you able to deconstruct items you’ve made but no longer need such as old shields etc.?

[frosty frost]

no unfortunately

[true steeple]

You can either forget about them in a chest, drop them far from a base (outside build range) to despawn them or make a display room for your old equipment.

[hollow mantle]

Dropping them in deep water will also despawn them.

[frosty frost]

if more than 2m deep 🙂

[hollow mantle]

And later in the game there is something that allows you to do something else with them.

[drowsy mica]

Okay, thanks for info. Definitely work arounds but appreciate the help.

[grand ravine]

was wondering if the cost of certain ashwood pieces were intentional or an oversight
certain pieces are double the cost of similar ones even of the same group, the ashwood 45 beams are 2 wood each but the flat 2m beams are 4 wood each

[rancid thunder]

Hello, so my issue with valheim is that my pc is crashing and rebooting while I'm playing valheim, these crashes do not happen while I play other games. Here is what I have done to try and fix this -

• Stopped overclocking in my laptops lenovo app and bios
• Set power management mode to maximum performance in nvidia control panel
• Installed c++
• matched my laptops resolution and max supported fps in valheim settings
• verified the integrity of the files
• Reinstalled valheim
• Set high priority in task manager and told my pc to always run it as an admin
• Updated and clean installed gpu drivers
  I may have forgotten to put something in the list of things ive done because ive just done too much but any suggestions on what to do are greately appreciated. There is one more thing that could help which is reinstalling windows but I'll save that for last.

[grand ravine]

do you use mods?

[rancid thunder]

No I dont

[grand ravine]

do you have any hardware monitoring software that can show pc temps?

[rancid thunder]

well task manager but other than that no

[grand ravine]

is this a new thing or was it always doing this?

[rancid thunder]

It started out as once in around an hour to two hours, when I started to try and fix this it happened more and more often to the point where I cant even run the game for more than 10 minutes. I did do a playtrough with my friends around 2y ago and back then I didnt have any problems with my pc crashing

[grand ravine]

hmm, i think im not qualified to help past this point as i too have run out of ideas for its cause

but i dont think reinstalling windows would fix it

[rancid thunder]

Even if it doesnt I have had this laptop for 3y now and it couldnt hurt to reinstall

[grand ravine]

true but even my worst case scenario with messed up software never got to the point of needing to reinstall windows so at least that knocks off one solution

[rancid thunder]

Yeah well thank you for your time

[mortal narwhal]

how do you use commands? i have not learned how to yet ;p;

[willow raft]

Anything you want to know can be found here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console
Here are the item id's for when you want to spawn in some stuff: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs

[main lynx]

Is onion soup even worth it? I mean beet stew gives 18\55 but lasts 25mins and has 2hp tick heal, when onion soup has slightly more 20\60, but lasts 5 minutes less and heals only 1hp tick

[willow raft]

If you have a surplus of ingredients and you can make onion soup it is slightly better in raw numbers but don't go out of your way to make it.

[main lynx]

Got it, thanks

[copper raven]

please and thanks: can i get a link to a complete list of valheim items IN PLAIN TEXT FORMAT (or csv or whatever, just not a web page i cant save to text of JUST the list)

[compact heath]

Its very cheap to make considering, I still use it in plains when I run out of blood pudding

[main lynx]

I mean ...beet stew is same 3 beets +1 pork

I have pig farm, so it's not an issue - was just wondering statwise

[compact heath]

turnip stew?

[main lynx]

Oh... yeah
That

[compact heath]

thats only easy if you do have a boar farm yes

[main lynx]

Sorry, language barriers 😄

[compact heath]

else I find I run out of boar meet

[main lynx]

Before I had a boar farm I was just marking boar stones, since boars tend to spawn there consistently, you just have to wait couple of days after you slaughter them

[compact heath]

but onion soup is def better, makes a difference imo. in Plains I go to bread and blood pudding for stamina, with onion soup as the blood pudding backup

[main lynx]

I see, I'm about to head into plains right now and all I have is wolf skewers and ice cream which is 25 mins, same as turnip stew

Thought those extra 5 minutes might come in handy

[compact heath]

when in a new biome i replenish food very early so 5 mins doesnt make a difference

once you have killed moder and bring back 5 black metal, just need to have a plains portal and farm and you can make plains food pretty fast, I am about to kill moder tomorrow on current play through, and already been farming plains crops 🙂

[main lynx]

Got it, useful info - thank you!

[compact heath]

plains crops only grow in plains

[copper raven]

do grow rates differ for different biomes? ive been trying to propogate onions from 3 seeds in meadows, and it seems like tis taking a long time. Can easily go to my plains grden if its going to be faster...

[compact heath]

no it all grows at the same speed

[frail cave]

which is 4000-5000 seconds (sleeping accurately speeds that up)

[copper raven]

so is there a plain text list of item ids anyone knows of?

[frail cave]

i only know of the wiki page

[copper raven]

thats frustrating, extracting big lists of things from html is a pita

[compact heath]

there not really needed very often imo, what you're trying to do

[copper raven]

also; and on the same tangent; how do you aloow anyhting to be put into a smoothbrain backpack? is there a wildcrd, or can valid items: be left blank

[compact heath]

no idea what you are talking about? there is no backpack

[copper raven]

smoothbrain mod

[frail cave]

#mods-issues might help

[compact heath]

#mods-issues

[copper raven]

well wanting the list is an aside from the backpack thing, but related

and you guys seem more helpful right now :}

[frail cave]

well sorry, i have neither a convenient list, nor any mod knowledge 😅

[compact heath]

the mod people may know, we talk about non mod help related things in here, personally I have never installed a single mod

[copper raven]

yeah, i was a purist initially too, but not being able to hit anyhting on slopes was a dealbreaker

[frail cave]

MH made me love playing around such limitations

[copper raven]

now i embrace some mods. i dont think ill ever go full evil though

and of course; you cant be a real builder and not use planbuild/gizmo/buildcamera

[meager aspen]

Hello, I'm having this graphic issue after updating with the latest hotfix.
Anyone else facing something similar? Any help would be appreciated 🙏

[mortal narwhal]

I'm trying to spawn somethin that is in a mod and it says "Spawn is not a valid in the current context" im very confused

[frail cave]

either you forgot to enable devcommands first by typing it in once, make sure it says "true", or you're not the host on a server

[frosty frost]

Are you running any mods?

[meager aspen]

Yes, I am.

[frosty frost]

Try to disable them one by one or all of them and see if you still have that issue 🙂

[lapis terrace]

yeah. typical broken mod issue

update mods + bepinex

[worthy minnow]

Hey can someone help?

I'm in dark woods gear (copper armour etc) and I was sailing to a point a dungeon marked as the next boss

I accidentally sailed to the plains and 2 Lox decided to one-shot me and my friend which has basically left our entire gear stranded halfway across the map with no way to get it back

Any advise and is someone able to help later

[lapis terrace]

make a raft and go to pick stuff up 🤔

running naked isn't as bad as you think. and as long as you die within 10 minutes of the last time you died. you won't get any more skill loss either

[meager aspen]

But to play in the server I need the mods.
Maybe I will have to wait to updated mods? 🤔

[mortal narwhal]

i spawned in a dragon and i start riding it how do i do flying controls and how do i get off it?

[worthy minnow]

I tried that already and keep getting one-shot by deathsquitos when I approach the tombstone

It's also longer than 10mins away by raft and I don't really have the resources to make a good boat again since it needs finewood and all my copper gear is on my corpse (poorly planned)

[frosty frost]

Yeah, try to update them but if they can't be right Now you will have to wait

[meager aspen]

Thank you

[lapis terrace]

you know how to dodge roll?

as long as you got stamina, dodgeroll makes you immune to damage

[worthy minnow]

I've mostly been parrying so yes but I'm not great at the timing for rolls

[lapis terrace]

it takes time to master for sure

but dodgerolling is one of the best ways to stay alive 😄

[frosty frost]

You can ask around in #mods-discussion or #mods-issues if somebody already did that or has the same problem you are having and if they were able to fix IT 🙂

[white heron]

same issue @meager aspen no mods in my installation

yesterday it was running fine. but today morning there was another 160MB unannounced update without any patchnotes which caused this. Tested on two PC with AMD and nVidia GPU

[mortal narwhal]

could i maybe get a awnser? (srry if im not supposed to ;p; i just rlly wanna know heh😅 )

[copper raven]

sounds like me.
teleporters are your friend, make them before you pick a fight, even just a hole in the ground barely big enough to fit in to dig it works, parquor up a corner to get out, cover with boards then go get in trouble. Better yet build a base first...with a teleporter in it.
A go-box: have a box with cheap 1st tier cooked and sugary food available near your spawn. dont take any, or little if youdo, just eat it direct from the chest. 1 wolf or other high health meat, and two different stamina..and run like the wind
deathsquitos: you need a small shield, banded wood is perfect, and you have to parry them, then swat. Pretty easy. Make sure you farm them for needle arrows. 3shot kill trolls etc. Alternatley do a roll INTO the squito as it approaches. They miss and you run the other way. Oooor, gather a swarm of greydwarves as decoys and make them chase you inot your prior death location as chaos and distraction.

[lapis terrace]

---> #mods-discussion

we don't have rideable dragons in Vanilla valheim

[lapis terrace]

indeed. teleporters

and also. save your old equipment so you have something to wear when you die and need to corpse run

[worthy minnow]

All my smelter cores are on my corpse :))))))))

[lapis terrace]

something is better than nothing

[worthy minnow]

I planned to put a teleporter at the boss

It's fine I think I just need to knuckle down, gather a bunch of materials for crafting rafts and workbenches for the journey and pray I don't get annihilated the second I land again

[white heron]

inside the game

[lapis terrace]

well something broke that isn't natural 🤔

what GPU do you got?

[white heron]

AMD and nVidia. both have this issue. But it is on Linux

[lapis terrace]

2 GPU's ?

send me your player.log file and I'll look

[white heron]

No PC with AMD and notebook with nVidia

[lapis terrace]

Hm..

still you should have a logfile

[white heron]

how do you want to send it to you?

[lapis terrace]

I assume you could play before?

[lapis terrace]

send it in a DM is fine

[white heron]

yes yesterday it was fine

[lapis terrace]

yea...

working on it

[meager aspen]

same

[lapis terrace]

@meager aspen seems the problem was with our latest micro-patch

[white heron]

Are you on Linux?

[meager aspen]

Yes

[white heron]

Same. Seems like only Linux is affected.

[meager aspen]

Thank you

[frail cave]

Hello, very good, how are you doing? I wanted to ask if anyone knows or how it could be done so that in the world instead of having one altar of bosses at the beginning there are several? because I would like to make a server with people from different countries and I would like each one or at least there to be more altars so that the progress of each person or group of people is not interfered with.

[lapis terrace]

not really no

[true steeple]

I don’t know the ids but you can use commands to spawn individual sacrificial stones

[lapis terrace]

and the game only allows for 10 players at the same time. so playing valheim as a MMO is not possible

[compact heath]

iron mace is better than silver sword for BM cause blunt yeah or nah?

[willow raft]

Aren't there like at least 3 altars per boss?

[willow raft]

For bonemass iron mace is better yeah.

[frosty frost]

I think they mean the sacrifical stones

[lapis terrace]

no. some bosses have more

Fader, Moder and Eikthyr have 4

[frosty frost]

It goes 3453455 iirc🤔

[lapis terrace]

something like that

[frosty frost]

And i am pretty sure Eikthyr has 3

[willow raft]

Ah, that makes more sense.

[lapis terrace]

you can search for them

[lapis terrace]

that's how I read it. multiple starting temples

[willow raft]

Added "at least" ^^

[lapis terrace]

you can see if you use the find command 😉

[copper raven]

@lapis terrace @meager aspen what os/release are you using? i dont think i can help, im just curious. kubuntu 24.04 here

since when do merchants have a monopoly on getting worms out of the dirt for selling as very expensive bait? what do they think we are? morons?

[willow raft]

They made sure to get all the worms, there are no more worms to be found anywhere in Valheim, only from the merchant, they created a monopoly.

[copper raven]

ooooh, and then we get a crqafting recepe to make our overpriced bait even more unecessarily elaborate and expensive.... what a scam

so then ill use a bit of meat from the first dead thing i find/kill

[willow raft]

They also trained the fish to only ever eat worms and nothing else if is attached to a hook.

[copper raven]

also, you mean to tell me i just dug 6 10m diameter nodes of copper out of the ground...and not one earthworm or other insect, grub? inconcievable

[lapis terrace]

we got a fix comming anytime now 😅

[copper raven]

so what os? you have to know i need to scoff at another distro at least a tiny bit after a screenshot like that

[willow raft]

Exactly, every other thing that could be used as lure has been eradicated, only worms exist and you can only get them from the vendor and the fish will eat nothing else if it is on a hook.
The vendor was very thorough.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[copper raven]

*switches flaming torch to left hand

[frail cave]

Well, thanks, I'll try to find if there is any command. or if some of the deps would do me the favor of putting one

[copper raven]

damn it, i have to go to sea again. Last time was on a raft...open ocean... nightmare landscapes everywhere and prevailing wind pushing me further away from land of milk and honey...and my pillowfort. I have a karve now. Could build a longboat too i guess. But i'm reluctant to go out again. Tell me what i should take/do so i dont die of swimming in platemail or somehting equally stupid. Do spears float? or are they just gone?

[true steeple]

The ids are bossstone_ then the boss name (bossstone_eikthyr, for example)

So the command would be spawn bossstone_eikthyr to place one, and forcedelete 10 bossstone_eikthyr when near it to delete it

[frail cave]

I may have explained it wrong but what I am referring to is the altar where the boss trophies are placed once they are defeated in the spawn center of the world.

[true steeple]

You can place the individual stones, but not spawn the entire structure

[frail cave]

Well, it still works for me because I could put together personalized altars in that case. Well, I would have to search and investigate the commands. thank you

[true steeple]

I just gave you the commands

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

[lapis terrace]

you can do multiples. but they don't work as he wants it to work

but as soon as you hand up one boss trophy. it's a global setting

so it's not possible to have 2 camps (or more) and each have there own progression and so

@meager aspen @white heron Validate game files on linux and try to launch valheim again.
the pink things should be gone now

[white heron]

yep it is fixed

[lapis terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-elmos-fire-elmo-fire-fire-yas-gif-16440807891622620439

thanks for reporting

[white heron]

what was the problem?

[meager aspen]

fixed, thanks!!

[willow raft]

A karve can outrun serpents as long as you go with the wind.
Else take a bow.
Also make sure you have a portal in your main base that isn't connected and take some portal materials with you to connect to it.

[copper raven]

noted, also always portal

[lapis terrace]

always make portal when you make landfall 😄

it's my own rule I learned

[willow raft]

I always have an empty portal and an x portal, if I notice that the empty portal is in use because I forgot to deconstruct it I have an alternative.

[lapis terrace]

I tend to litter portals as I go on. and just name them something(+1) constantly

[willow raft]

I make dedicated portals to frequently used spots and they get put in a portal hub.
I also make portal circles for farming surtling spawners or sap fro example.
For less frequently used portals I make a portal hub that isn't in the main base but in a farming base.

[crude shore]

I also keep an open portal back at base and the materials for an emergency portal on me. If I'm out of food or about to die (or going into a sketchy dungeon), drop a workbench and a portal really quick

[copper raven]

yeah, portal management can be a bit of a nightmare. I had the usual "" portal for a while, then i went with temp1 through temp4, just in case i forgot to make a homebase one or tangled the names and got stuck in the field.
I have a round building embedded underground with earthen walls as my main portal hub and lab area, I guess it is 24m in diameter and 4 levels deep. The entire inner wall on one level, and a fair part of a second were lined with teleporters. The noise when you went anywhere was very annoying. Then i opted to test out the TargetPortal mod. It's not perfect, and its display of portals on the map can bug slightly sometimes, and it doesnt work for anyone not using the mod, but it always takes me where i want to go and has reduced my portal nightmares significantly. You basically enter any portal and click the destination portal on the map it shows you. Not great for hasty exits, but no teleporter needs a name, of course you do name them so you have a reference for them anyway, the name shows on the map. And any portal can go to any other portal, so the number of them required is far less. Now I just have one portal at each base. Not sure how many i have, but there are 12 main bases, with 2 to 5 satellite posts around each base. So theres a few, even with the greatly reduced numbers thanks to the mod.

the hard part now is remembering to pack one, and remembering to deploy it

looks like 26 portals, not all numbered bases have one, or still exist, and base11 has 2 just for convenience in carrying coal from the moist sirtling post directly to the smelter.
Look at all of that empty wall space now..i really should have screenshotted it before removing them all

[main lynx]

I have a question...

Since female boars don't have such pronounced tusks, if at all...

How do they reproduce and so fast god damn 🤔

[hollow mantle]

Haha. Don’t think about this too much.

[fathom badge]

Because Valheim creatures are magically hermaphrodites in the afterlife 😉

[main lynx]

Yeeeah probably shouldn't think about it ...now that I think about it

[true steeple]

Maybe valheim boars have evolved to all have tusks to defend themselves from hungry Vikings?

[mellow lodge]

also note, if you have raids enabled. there's a certain raid from the mountains that will have a field day on those boars being wide open.

[ivory gulch]

does project auga even work anymore? I just tried to install it and got an error although at least the hud was showing up...

[lilac coyote]

If that's a mod, you're best off asking in #mods-discussion or #mods-issues

[vagrant bobcat]

help 🥲

[lilac coyote]

Time to update / remove your mods.

[vagrant bobcat]

tried.. also tried validating files in steam

[true steeple]

Delete everything in the installation folder, then uninstall and reinstall the game

[vagrant bobcat]

oh.. it suddenly started to work.. even with mods now, strange

[shy shard]

do dvergr eventually lose agro ?

[true steeple]

I think they stay hostile forever, but you can always fix that by killing them

[upbeat fossil]

how many Black Forge upgrade do exist in ashlands state

Mistland two right ?

[frosty frost]

ashlands also 2

[upbeat fossil]

thx

how many upgrades to the (Magic)Galdr Table has in Ashlands ?

[true steeple]

Only one https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Galdr_table

[next heart]

which shields would you guys call the best in game

[mellow lodge]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Shields
and look at the shields from the last biome

[true steeple]

For block armor, the best shield of each type is carapace buckler, flametal shield and flametal tower shield. Serpent scale shield is the best for its point in progression, and is useful against anything with pierce damage, even the final boss. #screenshots message

[lapis terrace]

problem solved?

[vagrant bobcat]

yessir

[lapis terrace]

nice

[shy shard]

What materials are safe for building around an Eitr Refinery ? other than iron cage

[mellow lodge]

black marble build pieces

[mellow lodge]

oh, and you can also raise earthen walls to block the sparks too

[shy shard]

regular stone won't cut it ?

[subtle parrot]

Nope

I mean, it could if you don't mind repairing it

[unkempt hearth]

any command to remove this woods?
https://prnt.sc/zuV-y0g9YHxW

[worthy minnow]

I finally got my stuff back thanks for the advise 🙏

For context this is how fucked my elder spawn was I had to run through the plains to get to his arena

[lilac coyote]

Ooft, I'd have picked another one.

[worthy minnow]

I looked and couldn't find one ANYWHERE

[silent root]

Just curious was there a quiet patch release today? Had small update from both gaming rig and server rig but didn’t see any patch notes. Already did the patch from the 9th too

[tiny violet]

could also sail around the continent it looks like. and land in black forest next to elder

[lapis terrace]

ouch

[lapis terrace]

yes and it was a fix for linux shaders missing that happend when we fixed small issue on Apple-store 😅

[silent root]

Makes sense! Thanks!

[spring frigate]

is there a way to see how many times i died with a specific character?

[buoyant peak]

/stats

[lilac coyote]

makes yet another mental note to actually document that somewhere

[sturdy folio]

Hey! Here's a daily reminder to add /stats to your list of 'To Do!' tasks.
Hope this helps ❤️

[silent root]

I have a weird issue that I was always debating on asking in here about. I unfortunately can’t give more info until later when I’m at the pc but I run a dedicated server on my own dedicated server computer. I use a vpn that has a dedicated ip and port forwarding and yet no matter what I do I still have random disconnect issues on my server. They are mainly isolated to around 2isham est and I can’t explain it. No firewall issue, no update issue, no router reboot issues, etc, just randomly disconnects around 2ish am for whatever reason

I’m starting to wonder if it’s a play fab issue but their status page shows no issues today or other days

I’ve done all the tricks in the book too I’ve done clean installs and the whole shabang and still the same issue

We can play all day long no issue but 2ish am hits and boom

[hollow mantle]

So are you going out to the internet and then back in to connect? Or do you establish an entirely internet connection to the server?

[silent root]

What do you mean? I have internet at my house for the server but then the server computer is fully vpn and I pay them extra to have my own dedicated ip through them, they also report no issues

The server itself is ran direct on a Ethernet and of course has a different ip through my provider but of course the vpn kinda masks all that and makes the computer think it’s actually the vpns dedicated ip

[hollow mantle]

Ok, so the way I read your OP was that you have a spare computer at home, that you use for a Valheim server.

Is that part accurate?

[silent root]

Correct I built it specifically to be its own server just for any game servers I wanted to make.

It currently runs just valheim and valheim only

[hollow mantle]

Ok. So, if you disconnect the wire from your router that goes out of your home, can you still connect to the Valheim server, the way you would normally connect to it?

[silent root]

No I think the vpn is contingent on my own internet being up too. So if I unplug the Ethernet I’m certain I still wouldn’t be able to connect to the vpn regardless of it being dedicated or not. Reason being is natively if I didn’t have the dedicated ip pretty oftenly the ip would be changing for security/privacy. The whole idea of this is so I’m not giving out my server computers personal ip and people can connect to something else so I have more privacy theoretically

Could be wrong but this is my understanding.

And if the ip is always changing due to the vpn people won’t be able to connect dedicated so I pay for a not changing ip

[hollow mantle]

By “Ethernet” do you mean the wire that runs between your router and the socket/hole on/in the wall where your internet comes in?

Not any wire(s) between any of your computers and your router?

(And apologies for the seemingly unhelpful questions - you’re using terms that could mean multiple things, so I am establishing a more accurate understanding of your set up, so that I can more accurately answer your question).

[silent root]

I apologize didn’t realize it was confusing, I come from an it background and didn’t think I was using anything out of the ordinary lol.

The server computer is direct Ethernet from the pc itself to the router itself.

[mellow lodge]

fortresses have only 2 spawners, and they are diaganol in opposite corners?
