[mortal narwhal]

what is the command to spawn in a moder

[lilac coyote]

Spawn.

[true steeple]

Her id is dragon, I think

[lilac coyote]

No, no, they asked for the command.

[main kestrel]

I’m on Xbox and trying to join my friend who is on steam how do I do so

[lilac coyote]

Make sure the server is runing with crossplay enabled and then enter the join code.

[true steeple]

If your steam friend is hosting they need to enable crossplay when starting the server. Crossplay is always enabled when hosting on Xbox. When crossplay is enabled, a join code can be found at the top of the pause menu.

[main kestrel]

Thanks

[mortal narwhal]

im asking for the command of how to spawn the moder dragon

[lilac coyote]

The command is spawn, the Item ID is Dragon

[bright reef]

how do i flatten this mound?

[mellow lodge]

Pickaxe

[bright reef]

ty

[fervent ravine]

need any help?

[silent jackal]

or just use the hoe and stand on one of the lower spots

using the pickaxe might make it go lower than u want, but if it does u can use the hoe to bring it back up slightly again

[stoic trench]

Do fish spawn in higher quality the further you are from spawn?

[junior sigil]

That would be great, if so. I did the math on the chances for getting level 5's for my walls, and its pretty grim.

[lilac coyote]

No, it's just RNG like mob levels.

[silent jackal]

ive found like quality 2 and (i think a couple quality 3s?) by my house next to spawn, so idk. but most of them have been qualtiy 1. i just know at one point i wasnt paying attention to the quality and got like 4 or 5 pieces from one fish and i was like wtf

[stoic trench]

Yeah, I’m getting into fishing, with the final goal catching a couple top quality fish. Looks like the chances are pretty low.

Working on getting my fishing skill up by wandering around catching some perch and pike lol

[junior sigil]

0.128% chance for quality 5. Or about 1 in 781 fish.

[stoic trench]

Whoa, didn’t think it was that low, but alright thanks for the info! I’m a shiny hunter though, I’m no stranger to low odds lol

Jeez, this level 2 trollfish drained my whole stamina bar 😅 have the top 3 stamina foods too. Luckily I had a stamina mead, so I caught it. Gotta get better about not blindly reeling in.

[junior sigil]

Luck to us both.

[junior sigil]

Yeah, finding a level 4 or 5 is only the 1st problem. 🤣

[stoic trench]

It’s cool catching the little side items, got a troll hide lol. I think there’s some opportunity to expand there.

[silent jackal]

catching a leather boot in minecraft be like

also idk if youre doin this or not but i like to barely cast the line only a few feet away from me that way i dont have to reel it in as far once they bite.

[stoic trench]

Lol felt that 😂
Yeah, that’s my strategy currently. See a pretty big trollfish, think it might be a 3

(Migrating to Valheim chat to share fishing stories)

[harsh cedar]

If we travel to the unfinished deep north before it's released, are there any consequences? Like having to rebuild our bases and stuff when that patch is actually released?

[stoic trench]

Yes, I would highly recommend not going near the Deep North at this time.

If you’re curious and want to explore it or fish there, I would recommend doing it on a new world that you’re ok with abandoning

[harsh cedar]

I think I might have done that unfortunately

[stoic trench]

Haha how much have you explored? Did you build a big ole base there? 👀

[silent jackal]

soooooo.... just had a 1* gjall diddle my booty hole

[harsh cedar]

No, just sailed past. Might have ran around a little bit there, but is that enough to lose my base?

Haven't logged in after the Ashlands patch dropped

[tired root]

There probably will happen some terrain changes similar to Ashlands but we don't know for sure yet.
Basically how it went with Ashlands and Mistlands: the areas you had explored before the initial patch were left out without new content, only terrain changes and mob spawns but no structures, materials, cliffs, dungeons etc. And it will probably be similar case with Deep North too, except DN has Mountain biome areas inside too, which could complicate things if those areas get generated.
The safest option would be not going too deep inside the unfinished biome. Going near edge might still be fine since there is now ocean between other biomes after Ashlands terrain changes. But it is not recommendable to build any big bases there.

[frosty frost]

So you were there before ashlands came out?

[harsh cedar]

Yes

[harsh cedar]

The base im worried about losing is in swamp terrain though

[tired root]

If you didn't go too deep inside Ashlands you might be fine.

[frosty frost]

And did you make your base close to where they were connecting to other biomes?

[harsh cedar]

The base was right in-between swamp and black forest ish

[tired root]

Already generated Swamps will remain unchanged, unless those areas were near Ashlands or Deep North borders. But the new NPC will appear in unexplored Swamps.

[harsh cedar]

But far from Ashlands and deep north

[frosty frost]

And was it close to the DN border?

Because if yes then it Is already gone, the Deep North borders got the same treatment as the ashlands borders and anything that was close to it and Is not naturaly generated will be destroyed as soon as you load that world for the first time after update

[harsh cedar]

Ok, thanks for all the replies. I'll just have to cross my fingers when I log in next time 😅

[tired root]

There is always a possibility to start a new world. You have at least 1 new biome to explore unless you played before Mistlands came out then you have 2 new biomes.

[thick nexus]

i have built a galdr table and black fforge, but cannot repair the dvergr structure im currently living in, the ward has been destroyed too?

[willow raft]

Stone cutter?

[thick nexus]

oooo maybe

[thick nexus]

that was the one, thank you

[silver storm]

Is it possible that turni despwans

spawns*

[willow raft]

Turni?

[silver storm]

Turnip*

Pls help

[willow raft]

Yes, if it isn't planted correctly or a mob got close to it and attacked it then yeah it can disappear.

It needs to be in open air, nothing above it and it needs to be some distance from other crops and walls.

[silver storm]

Alr, next time ill just gonna protect my TURNIP

[silver storm]

I know that

[tired root]

Yeah always protect your crops with a proper distance from your outer wall. Shamans are nasty with their poison cloud.

[kind shore]

Will they attack me if I enter this place?

[junior sigil]

Not if you don't attack them first or damage their stuff.

[silent jackal]

They’ll actually help u fight aggressive mobs

Although they’re not much help vs a gjall

[true steeple]

Making them fight enemies is also a great way to weaken them before you kill them for their loot, which you need to progress

[junior sigil]

Moral people simply wait until they meet with natural misfortune, which they are quite prone to.

[echo sparrow]

lulllululll, Epichron is right

and if one of said moral people should just as so happen to run away from a seeker soldier and a platoon of seekers towards them, well said moral person certainly couldn't be held morally responsible for what happens next

[subtle parrot]

Or just run up there with a cart if you don't want to wait for them to die lol

[echo sparrow]

right--I didn't do anything, the cart did!

[quasi vault]

Or you can go up to them and offer them a nice pufferfish as a gift! It is not your problem if they decide to step on it over and over untill they die

[subtle parrot]

True

They should learn to handle and cook them

[quasi vault]

You'd thing they'd be able to do that with their ''more capable hands''!

[echo sparrow]

true--also, just being helpful here, since they clearly are so famished for the eitr, help em out a bit, and bring a hold boatload of eitr, already refined for them to save work--SURELY they cannot help but give you all their possessions then out of sheer gratitude?

[frosty frost]

I usually just apologize profusely that my cart bumped into their alarm system (ward) so much it broke it 😄

[echo sparrow]

"oops, sorry" "oops, sorry" "oops, sorry" "oops, sorry" "oops, sorry" "oops, sorry" "oops, sorry, I broke it"

[junior sigil]

There was that one time when I tried to get a piece of ancient armor that was not even that close to them, but somehow was inside their ward. But they decided to be enemies, not me. 😆

[mellow lodge]

Silly me dropping 8 individual refined eitr around your ward. So clumsy.

[quasi vault]

Thinking about how long it takes to destroy it with an actual weapon, I assume you spend like 10 minutes excusing yourself?

[silent jackal]

i personally commited genocide. but thats just me 😂

took out the 1* mage first and then took out the rogues with the help of the gjall, then finished off the gjall afterwards

[quasi vault]

Did you get their tool and did you set that up?

[silent jackal]

not yet but i didt get the tool

just in the process of smelting a bunch of metal rn, kinda ran out after my escapade of leveling all my gear up

and ive decided to say fuck the harnesk, shit got me killed twice lol. id rather just use the fenris armor

better for parkour and i dont have to make/drink fire resist meads 24/7

[echo sparrow]

if you mean by the cart method it takes a little bit but NOT as much as you're maybe expecting--IIRC I don't think it was 10 minutes, it was definitely several hits, can't remember if I had to repair it once

[silent jackal]

also i thought maybe eating a food that had eitr would unlock my magic. i was wrong 😔

i made a stuffed mushroom and it did nothing for me lol. just gave me some eitr

[quasi vault]

It is, like most things you have yet to unlock, dependent on that sap extractor

[silent jackal]

ya i figured after eating it

i could just make one rn i guess, theres a root next to my portal

[echo sparrow]

the eitr is like mana

[silent jackal]

probably get that going while im smelting shit down

[echo sparrow]

you need to actually make the magic weapons/items (e.g. staffs and such) to use it

[silent jackal]

ah i see

[quasi vault]

I may try it at one point, I like keeping them alive and it seems like a good way to get the extractor, marble and to keep them alive

[junior sigil]

Better a thief than a murderer, I suppose. 😆

[mellow lodge]

I love my dverger bros. Never killed one, never will.

[silent jackal]

so am i just crazy or can u build higher with black marble than u can with stone

their tower seemed pretty tall compared to my house. or is it jsut cause it was game generated

[subtle parrot]

Yes it has higher stability

[silent jackal]

i murdered the first two rogues i came across cause i didnt know if they had some cool drops. they did not

[mellow lodge]

Dverger towers have more than just marble

[quasi vault]

There's way with iron beams to build much higher than just piling up stones on top of another

[echo sparrow]

says here on the wiki it does more stable
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Building_stability

[mellow lodge]

There are non marble building components in there. Not sure if all are player buildable

[echo sparrow]

oh yeah true, good point

[silent jackal]

cause although i spent a shit ton of time on my current base (not for asthetics just for practical use) i kinda wanna make a new one out of marble but i have a feeling that would take a very very long time to get all the marble

[mellow lodge]

Fast to get marble with a stonecutter and deconstructing dverger structures.

[quasi vault]

If you have a stonecutter in the mistlands, getting marble from existing buildings is easy

[mellow lodge]

Or demolisher and smash the ground floor.

[echo sparrow]

the giant skulls & ribcages too

all black marble--it's not hard to accumulate a lot if you know where to look, and thankfully you can just regular portal it home

[silent jackal]

ye ive been farming the shields and stuff and part of a ribcage

[quasi vault]

Have you found one remain that has more than just a ribcage yet?

[echo sparrow]

like EVO said, you can get metal (iron included) from some of the armor & swords, bring cores, smelt 2 iron, build a stoncutter, deconstruct all the black marbel ruins around

[silent jackal]

also someone mentioned in the suggestions about adding a battleground terrain, isnt that what the giant shields and swords and shit are?

[echo sparrow]

ya kinda, think they mean a more mortal combatant sized battlefied earlier

[silent jackal]

ah

i just had a fucking jumpscare, went to go tp to my in-mistland portal to take a ss of the ribcage and whatnot that i found, got attacked by a gjall 😂

guess im not using that portal any time soon

[silent jackal]

idk there might be more to it than the ribcage

[quasi vault]

Yes, a source of something essential but don't worry hugin will show up to guide you on what to do!

[mellow lodge]

Make a note of where you find large mist free areas, btw. They make awesome farms and portal spots. Not to mention killing gjalls is SO easy when they can’t hide in the mist. My farm spot I can kill them before they get a shot off usually because I see them from so far away.

[echo sparrow]

like MOST of the challenge of gjalls is honestly the fact that they often can get very close before you spot them and can float above you and rain down fire, meanwhile you have to manage stamina and avoid falling in some pool of water or crevasse

[subtle parrot]

There are some unique pieces, like the ones with the little stone dvergr faces and the tall wood pieces, but the basic structure is all buildable afaik

[silent jackal]

wtf kind of weapon are you using that u can kill them before they reach you

[echo sparrow]

bows, crossbows, spears--the orange underside egg sac

[silent jackal]

im using fully maxed out draugr fang with needle arrows and it legit takes like 20 shots

[echo sparrow]

hit em in the weakpoint (their sack), you won't be disappointed

[subtle parrot]

The tick sack

[silent jackal]

ye i figured out that their sac is the weak point but that requires them being above me lol

by then theyve already shot me

i guess with my fenris armor i wont take much dmg anymore but when i was using my other set i would legit get one shot if the explosion hit me

[silent jackal]

are there plants that require you to plant them in the mistlands like the wheat and flax do in the plains?

[tired root]

Crossbow is quite good, keep shooting and the knockback keeps it away from you.

[silent jackal]

cause i planted some jotunpuffs already in my normal farm and theyre doin fine

[junior sigil]

mmm. better check them again.

[silent jackal]

idk how to make a crossbow yet

[quasi vault]

Do not underestimate gjall! Their attack do blunt and fire, the ticks, especially without the root harnesk can also easily get you

[silent jackal]

harnesk only protects from pierce tho not blunt

[tired root]

You need something from ||Infested Mines|| first.

[silent jackal]

if i use fenris and enable bonemass buff i feel like thatll be the most protection while also being able to dodge without wasting so much stam

and then i can drink a stam mead and use 2 health and 1 stam food

[mellow lodge]

Yes

[mellow lodge]

I can do it with the first crossbow.

[silent jackal]

rip. guess im back to square one lol it said they were healthy when i planted them. gotta find a clear spot now

and the crossbows use the bolts right?

so ima need some more black metal too probs

[echo sparrow]

you can make cheapest bolts from bones

[mellow lodge]

Bone bolts are fine btw

[echo sparrow]

yup, i pretty much only use the cheap bolts, works like a charm still

[silent jackal]

oh idk how to make bone bolts yet apparently

[echo sparrow]

all bolts require the black forge IIRC

[silent jackal]

ohhhhhhh. im just sped tbh

[echo sparrow]

that's for ballistae

[silent jackal]

glad i held onto my bone scraps then, figured thered be a use for them later on

[tired root]

After Mistlands patch dropped them bone scraps definitely got some new uses

[silent jackal]

i technically played once pretty much right after release but really i only started playing once ashlands was in beta so i dont know much about anything before that update

does anyone else feel like some of the food items never really see the light of day? maybe its just cause of the way im playing and i kinda skip ahead before i probably should, but like ive eaten maybe 2 blood puddings? and i crafted a lot more but now im eating salads and i dont see the point in the pudding anymore unless im doing base building

and a lot of the forest/swamp food i completely skipped altogether cause i didnt find turnips for the longest time and by the time i did i already had better food items

[echo sparrow]

some do feel just too inefficient to use and/or by the time they are efficient, you have better options

[tranquil holly]

How to fix this anyone? Idont use VPN or wifi

[silent jackal]

so its not just me. got it

[echo sparrow]

like blood pudding I didn't make much of too, I think mainly it was that I was still saving bloodbags mostly for meads and they just didn't seem worth it compared to bread/other options available at the time

[mellow lodge]

Yeah. Definitely didn’t make certain foods much at all.

[quasi vault]

Even when you find them, it usually takes so long to replant them until you have enough that you are often one biome behind on the best food. But those crops might still be essential ingredients for the best foods.

[silent jackal]

like half of this, im never gonna use really i think

[silent jackal]

oh ya i didnt mean i didnt need the turnips anymore, i meant by the time i found the turnips i already had food ingredients that made better meals than the swamp meals

[quasi vault]

You are right that you weren't going to use most of it, especially the meats but that might change with the feasts

[silent jackal]

feasts?

[quasi vault]

Upcoming update that we can only speculate about right now

[silent jackal]

ahh

[quasi vault]

Have you found any infested mines in the mistlands?

[silent jackal]

nah not yet, i found one broken down tower that had a shit ton of seekers and a soldier in it, and then one actual tower and a few like smaller towers with orbs in them? im assuming ima need those orbs for something but when i was tryna break it thats when i encountered my first gjall and well... it didnt go well 😂

[quasi vault]

I suggest you try to cover a lot of terrain in the mistlands, best way to do so is to have a new portal on you and just send it

[silent jackal]

ye im making one new link rn for setting up at the actual tower that i found, and then ima make another link to have one end of it on me while im parkouring around

[quasi vault]

Good luck

[silent jackal]

thats what ive covered so far

about the same area as half the meadow from my main continent

1/4 maybe if you dont include the mountain but half the mountain is covered in mist so

[quasi vault]

You will need to explore a lot more, at least it appears that mistland keep going south east

[silent jackal]

ya, i have a feeling it stops pretty close to there tho at least on the southeastern side, it may wrap up northeast but right below that southeastern side is forest and its where the brenna cave was

im not really finding any large biomes and its kinda irritating. all the ones im finding are like free trials 😂

[quasi vault]

If not there's a lot more mistlands around, they are most common on the eastern and western sides of the map

[silent jackal]

biggest plains biome ive found so far had 2 fuling camps

im also taking it slow cause i dont wanna accidentally stumble across a mistland ashland border

[true steeple]

Ashlands isn't bordered by other biomes, only ocean

[silent jackal]

ah ok well at least thats something

eases my mind just a bit

at this point in my progression is it worth still spending time looking for a leviathan or are the serpent scale items outdated at this point

[true steeple]

Serpent scale shield is best against pierce even against the final boss but will be much worse for any other damage type.

[silent jackal]

if i can get a cool buckler or something thatll be nice but if not i dont see a point still looking

[true steeple]

You should be able to make the carapace buckler when you have refined eitr.

[silent jackal]

ah ok. now on to making a black forge then i guess

[quasi vault]

That buckler is the best shield in the game by far!

[silent jackal]

sounds good

[mellow lodge]

i had to sail away from the first mistlands i found. it was only tiny islands with nothing useful. you want to find bigger landmasses, and it often helps if they border other biomes.

[silent jackal]

guess the shit that i left here despawned. massive oof

[silent jackal]

this one has the potential to be pretty big fortunately

[mellow lodge]

yeah, certain mistakes you'll only make once

[silent jackal]

it wasnt anything i cant recover from, just like 20 hare meat and some tasty meads i found in the fermenters and stuff. big oof but not the end of the world

im assuming its cause i logged off, ive never had anything despawn on me before

[echo sparrow]

it does take awhile but things do despawn without being in the radius of a "player base" (campfire, workbench, etc) object--if you drop it near one of those though, it should stay and not despawn

[silent jackal]

ah ok thats good to know. does it stay even if i log off if its next to something like that?

[stoic trench]

Yep!

[silent jackal]

awesome

[mellow lodge]

oof 20 hare meat. i never spent much time hunting hares, so that feels a lot to me. 🙂

i maybe have only killed 20 hares total from my whole time in the mistlands.

[silent jackal]

damn

i went hunting for them cause the misthare supreme is dope, ive got better access to hares than i do serpents and its the same stats as serpent stew

[mellow lodge]

yeah, misthare supreme is good. i just got through that tier without using it much.

[silent jackal]

ye. i could make some lox pies too but i think those only give 65 hp

im currently grinding down some flour

[bright raft]

hello, That small mountain is the maximum that the game allows me to flatten, is there a way to flatten more?

[echo sparrow]

if you just mean using hoe, the pickaxe

[frosty frost]

seems you have reached the dig limit in the area 🙂

[bright raft]

is any commands to flatten that or anything I can do ?

[frosty frost]

i dont think so, but i have heard about mods that can do that (but those always come with the risk of completly breaking the game)

[mellow lodge]

yeah. at that tier i did lots of lox pies, since i had huge barley farm + lox breeding tower. it wasn't much less than the misthare so i was fine with it

i wonder if ballista can accurately shoot hares. lol

[bright raft]

I just want make a beauty surrounding

[frosty frost]

imo a bit hilly surroundings can look quite pretty 🙂

[bright raft]

more hard to make a plain

[hollow mantle]

Raise the ground around it.

[bright raft]

I dont gonna rebuild all that

[hollow mantle]

Then, no.

[silent jackal]

could you theoretically make a base in the side of a mountain? like start digging in from the side and hollow out an area? or would it collapse

i feel like if you could, it would be a super fortified base since the only opening that mobs could damage would be the gate and you could just have multiple layers of gates just in case

[frosty frost]

it will just make a ravine, not a cave

[silent jackal]

rip

i wonder if theres some clipping stuff u could exploit to get around that, like move slowly and replace stuff with like marble/stone walls as u go

or even clip stuff inside of the terrain before u break it

[echo sparrow]

the closest you can get is stones

[bright raft]

at least look natural ?

[echo sparrow]

like the rocks that spawn naturally (or you can make them spawn with comands), they can "cover" you because they're not true terrain (but I think they might still need support below or will fall to the ground due to gravity)

[silent jackal]

imo a huge flat area doesnt look natural at all, it looks more natural when you have a giant build like that if you incorporate the difference in terrain into your build

[bright raft]

I can keep diggin back so I make a mountain with the land back to look more natural

[bright raft]

I wanted make a bigger garden

[silent jackal]

i dont think youll need a garden that big, mate. shits fuckin huge lmao

[hollow mantle]

Apart from the huge flat area, that looks pretty natural already.

[silent jackal]

unless youre making the garden for asthetic purposes. but making a crop garden that big, i have hard time imagining youll ever use even half of the crops yielded from it

[bright raft]

always can be bigger and bigger and more bigger

[silent jackal]

like this is my garden, and its really all i need apart from my mistland and plains garden

[silent jackal]

i mean ya theres nothing inherently wrong with having a massive garden like that. its just that youll be building it for no practical reason cause u dont need that many crops unless youve got like 20 ppl playing with u that u have to feed

and even then itd still probably be a little overkill

[hollow mantle]

Bottom line is this: the maximum you can raise or lower ground is 8m either way from where it starts. So, if you want a large flat area, start by lowering the highest point as much as possible, then bring everything surrounding it up. But start with a mostly flat area to begin with.

[silent jackal]

like ive got my gather rate at 2x, so im getting double the drops from every crop i harvest. and i have that small little garden and i have tons of leftover veg that im not using

[tired notch]

"more bigger" is grammatically incorrect

[bright raft]

just aesthetic is a museum map

[hollow mantle]

Indeed. It should be "more biggerer".

[bright raft]

I speak spanish, long time without speak english

[silent jackal]

it also will save u work, even if u could raise/lower it more than 8m, why would you want to when u could jsut start with a mostly leveled area

[tired notch]

hola

[silent jackal]

more biggerest

[tired notch]

That's more perfect

[silent jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/climbing-nepal-everest-bookatrekking-mounteverest-gif-26366686

[tired notch]

That's funny I'm from Nepal.

[echo sparrow]

the mostest bigger

[quasi vault]

2x rates drastically decrease the amount of crops you need and therefore the area you need to farm

[bright raft]

I just want make it beauty not a farm, but dont worry I keep the mountain

[thick nexus]

Hey guys, is there a reason why I can’t cook fish meat? It says you only need one of the fish shown in the crafting menu to actually craft a cooked fish, but it won’t let me at all.

I do use Valheim plus by Grantapher, so is there a possibility this could be why?

If anyone else uses this mod, do they have this same issue?

[true steeple]

#mods-issues

[stoic trench]

I’d guess it’s 100% the mod, don’t think anyone else has had that issue in vanilla.

[swift reef]

do tamed wolves eat deer, boar, and neck meat dropped from their own kills or do we have to physically drop the food for them?

[frosty frost]

they will eat it 🙂

[swift reef]

thank you!

[silent jackal]

think i finally found one

[severe flame]

hello!

im having an issue where my battering ram is not working against the inner doors of a fortress. I've gotten into the fortress okay, but I cant ram my way into the center part. I've tried raising and lowering the ground, and coming at it from all angles, but its just not damaging the structure. is this a known bug sometimes?

[frosty frost]

did you put fuel in?

[severe flame]

yes

its firing, its just not doing damage

[frosty frost]

tghen it is just a matter of raising the ground enoouh that you can keep it facing into the doors

[severe flame]

hang on ill grab a screenshot

coz im right in front of/up against them

its right there, its just not doing damage

[frosty frost]

Huh, weird, are you using any mods?

[severe flame]

a few, but ive done two fortresses already with no issues

i think this is just a bugged one, i also cant damage the last skugg that had spawned half inside a rock formation, even tho ive dug it out completely now

[true steeple]

Have you tried breaking the walls, not the gate?

[severe flame]

yep, same deal

[mellow lodge]

if you just want to get the loot and move on, you can dig down under the wall with the pickaxe, then dig back up to get stuff

[severe flame]

was considering trying a catapult but i think ill just move on. was just looking to see if anyone else had this issue

[mellow lodge]

granted you have to dig to max depth

[frosty frost]

try to disable all of them and go for it again, if it works then turn them on/off untill you find the one thats being naughty

[mellow lodge]

but i've cleared 5 fortresses and never bothered to bust down any of the doors

[severe flame]

i tried, but its just wall all the way down. ill go to deepest and see what happens

[mellow lodge]

it works, every now and then it's a pita. but you dig to max depth, and push in under a tooth of the wall

[livid tapir]

Alright I can't deal with these raids anymore, I could rage about it but I won't. For our server, it just comes down to having a peaceful place where I don't have to deal with the BS. Raids are just too inconvenient. Just got struck with a goblin raid after I had sailed 4 minutes away,

how do I turn them off on a dedicated server?

[true steeple]

Add -modifier raids none to the end of the bat file

[frosty frost]

it should also be possible to do with in game console

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

[true steeple]

Cheat commands can’t be used on a dedicated server, because no player is the host

[frosty frost]

oh, yeah that could be right, i read too fast and misuderstood this "Modifiers can also be set on a dedicated server via command line, or using devcommands in the in-game F5 console." 🤦‍♂️

[livid tapir]

Thanks for the wiki

[frosty frost]

Any time

[livid tapir]

Personally I dont consider it cheating. Its an unbalanced feature. It discourages new players joining. 2 players only have troll and bronze gear so far, they cant takeon goblins yet

[true steeple]

There is a separate world modifier that changes available raids, so that each player gets raids for their own point in progression

[mellow lodge]

no one said turning off raids is cheating

i guess it was referred to as a setting that can be modified by "cheat commands", but that's not the same thing

[true steeple]

But valheim is designed to be played with the whole server progressing as a group, not for servers with various individual groups and players progressing separately, which is why that isn’t how it works by default

[frosty frost]

As said above, there is a prayer based progression modifier just for this 🙂

[livid tapir]

Ill take a look at that first

[mellow lodge]

a server with mixed progress players is probably the place it makes the most sense to turn off. But yeah, what Blob said.

[livid tapir]

I get that its designed that way, but its not always the reality, it takes time to grind out those resources, and valheim is also designed so its difficult to get an excess of certain things

[mellow lodge]

naw. excess of things is just more time

[livid tapir]

Yeah thats the problem lol

[mellow lodge]

valheim is a game that turns time into progress

where progress is a variety of things

[severe flame]

yeah it was a mod 😭 ive got through now, not gonna figure out which one it was coz unmodded valheim at this stage is terrifying

[livid tapir]

Is there a way to automate some defenses?

[true steeple]

You can get ballistas with mistlands materials

[frosty frost]

As it is case most of the time, the mods are the problem xD

[mellow lodge]

the easiest way to make your base completely safe (until certain raids) is to just dig a moat all the way around it. Or use the hoe to raise earth all the around it. that's it. nothing on the ground can get by

[frosty frost]

or combine the two 👀

[livid tapir]

Nice, that makes more sense. I just feel like you should be able to earn some level of peace.

[mellow lodge]

but a group of people hate to do that because they don't think it's pretty

[true steeple]

They aren’t particularly strong though, you’re supposed to go out and fight the raid, not let ballistas do it for you.

[mellow lodge]

agreed, my two main bases have both a moat and a wall. and wolves. and asksvin or lox

the only raid i don't ignore are bats. and i could let the wolves deal with them too

i guess i go out and collect the stuff the raids drop lol

[true steeple]

A wolf pit to kick enemies into is the real best defence.

[junior sigil]

Simple spawn proofing works also.

[mellow lodge]

well, raids can spawn in a very big area. bigger than the red circle. it's a lot of spawn proofing

[livid tapir]

for me it seems like a play style choice. Raids are mostly an inconvenience more than a challenge. I had sailed 4 minutes away and a raid happened. The player at the base couldnt handle it (because honestly she is a gatherer and not a fighter), so since i cant make it back in time we are just going to get our stuff destroyed.

[mellow lodge]

raids only happen when a player is at a base. where a base is defined as having 3+ player base objects within 40m

oh, a different player was there

[junior sigil]

You only need a certain range out from you in my experience. It's not that hard to make it safe.

[mellow lodge]

your gatherer should learn how to fight. or you make a moat. or a wall.

at your stage of the game, raid defenses are trivial

[livid tapir]

we have walls but they just spawn in there

[junior sigil]

Or your other player portals away until you get back.

[mellow lodge]

oh, you need to spawnproof your walled in area with player objects. workbenches/campfires/etc

[livid tapir]

that would make it more manageble, i will look at that

[mellow lodge]

list of objects: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

easiest is workbench because you can see the radius it protects from spawning

[livid tapir]

thanks, just venting a little. i just feel like you should be able to earn some peace, sounds like we need more work benches

[mellow lodge]

oh yeah, people bitch about raids all the time

usually after bats kill their 2 star boars

if we had an FAQ, "how do i turn off raids? " would be number 2 on it

number 1 would be: why doesn't biome X have weapon type foo?!?!

"but but but i want to use daggers throughout the whole game! what do you mean the ashlands doesn't have a dagger?!?!"

then we give baby his bottle

[livid tapir]

lol

[mellow lodge]

somewhere on the FAQ would be a mention of Blob and jumping attacks

and his love for necks

[buoyant peak]

Then disable them

[livid tapir]

Trying to

the wiki article doesnt say how to do it on a dedicated server

[frosty frost]

No no no, "deep north when?" is up there too 😄

[mellow lodge]

lol you're right

[frosty frost]

this doesent work?

[livid tapir]

I mean its not really instructions, it links to a github issue lol

I think i need to edit a config file, looking for that now. I dont see anywhere that explicitly states how to do it

[echo sparrow]

if you feel the yearning to have the raids back at any point, there steps you can take to render at least some areas mostly or even completely safe--one completely safe area for instance, is a troll cave you've cleared out--i'm pretty sure you won't even trigger raids if in one, but even if you could they couldn't touch you in the cave

has anyone tested out if you have a case built around a cleared troll cave, and a raid starts on your base, if you run into the cave, if the raid timer will still tick down or not? on the map for 'instanced' dungeons it looks like at least most of the time they're basically the same 'spot' on the map as the entrance, and I know it's just way way way up in the sky, not actually a different map loaded, so I wonder if you'd still 'count' as in the raid area or not

(basically, a ready made "panic room", if it does tick down)

[livid tapir]

i may be mistaken, but wouldnt they just continue to attack while youre in the cave?

[mellow lodge]

dedicated server raid behavior is different than single player

single player, if you move out of the raid area, the timer stops.

i /think/ a dungeon, even one near/in the raid area, would still count as outside. but i would test

[livid tapir]

for this server im using a server panel, found the raid rate settings. I'm just going to turn the rate down to "much less"

[mellow lodge]

brave of you 🙂

[echo sparrow]

@nimble abyss i actually don't know how already spawned in mobs would behave--like would they just freeze/unload, would they attack structures?

i know at least they couldn't reach YOU while you're n the cave

[true steeple]

When in a dungeon, the world below is loaded as if you were there

[mellow lodge]

i'm going to guess on a dedicated server they would attack the base. same behavior if they couldn't get to you

[echo sparrow]

oh so, they'd probably trash your shit then lol

[mellow lodge]

it's kinda hilarious when mobs can't get to you. they throw a hissy fit and attack your stuff

"well, if you're just going to sit on that rock, i'm going to trash your boat!"

[echo sparrow]

the evergreen trench and/or earthen walls, plus a bonfire to run and stand next to if bats show up, are also solid provided you are diligent about campfire spam to spawnproof the entire interior of the base

[mellow lodge]

there are another couple raids with flying of course

but bats are forever

just like herpes

[echo sparrow]

what an apt metaphor

[nimble abyss]

Could you elaborate more details for this statement/question?

I was mainly referring to the ones in the swamps. When I mentioned the timing of spawn times for each pit.

[echo sparrow]

oh shit, that reply was meant for drainage lol--regarding how to deal with spawns, and me speculating on how it would interact if a raid already triggered on your base (which happens to be built around a troll cave) and you dive in to your 'hidey hole'

[golden copper]

hello, I've been pushed through a wall in a putrid hole by a morgen and now i can't escape. I was too late and my save respawns me inside this room in a putrid hole. It's weird there were also ancient pots and what not in here. I'm just hoping there is an answer to die and still save my stuff

[junior sigil]

Is there a world modifier to not drop any inventory on death? I know there's one to not drop equipped stuff. If so, that plus the modifier to have no death skill loss, then die and respawn?

[true steeple]

No, you have to at least drop unequipped items.

Death wouldn’t be punishing enough otherwise. Yes, the world modifier is there to make it less punishing but there still needs to be a limit.

[junior sigil]

Maybe the game is smart enough not to spawn the grave inside a wall?

If I were in that situation I'd feel justified using dev commands, but I was trying to think of a platform-independent way.

[true steeple]

Platform-independent? Devcommands work on all platforms?

[junior sigil]

Ah, wasn't sure they worked on console.

[golden copper]

I just tried /die and now its tuck behind the wall and I cannot get to it from inside or outside the hole

[true steeple]

You might need to load a character backup with the manage saves button on the character select screen.

[golden copper]

is there some kind of ghost dev command where i could walk through walls/ earth

[stoic trench]

Yeah, the modifier let’s you keep your equipped gear, including whatever is in your hand(s) at the time of death. I actually really like this setting, because I still have to worry about dying and getting my loot back, but it’s a bit of a timesaver since it takes away the chaos of putting your gear back on and all that jazz

[junior sigil]

Quick google suggests not. But you could spawn back anything valuable you had.

[golden copper]

I was able to lload a backup character saev from about an hour ago. I lost the items in my inventory but I dont have to remake my armor and what not

Can always hit up the hole again I'm glad i dont have to mine extra flamemmetal

[lilac coyote]

Or even look here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Cheat_commands But no, there isn't one quite like that.

[winter sluice]

I'm play Valhenim with my friend and i want keep open this world even I turn the game off so my friend can join the server. what should I do in setting?? some people are making server and people join when host is not there i just wanna do that for my world

[bright reef]

anyone know how i can properly support these roof building pieces? i thought a simple wooden column would do the trick but still shows orange :/

[subtle parrot]

As long as it's not breaking, it's fine
#screenshots message
This houses roof ridge is dark red and has never broken

[bright reef]

what if an enemy mob hits the red roof?

[subtle parrot]

It will break like any other colored roof, the color doesn't corelate to health

It's just the stability of the structure, and that has its limits per type of material used in construction. Basic wood has the lowest stability, you'll get better wood and stone materials to build with to be able to build higher and bigger as you progress through each biome.

[bright reef]

gotchaa ty

[winter sluice]

have 0 idea how to do this even i read all

rip

[silent jackal]

the two on the right are taming just fine, the one on the left just keeps running around and im not sure why

[junior sigil]

Is it a night spawn (starred wolf)?

[silent jackal]

no, and even if they were the taming continues if it started before morning came. also theyre all taming now, the one was just being a runt

[junior sigil]

Maybe just agitated.

[silent jackal]

ya idk. it was weird

they all seem to be doing fine now tho thankfully

i just have to be within render distance rigth, like i can be like 20m away and theyll still tame?

and if the two of them finish taming before the 3rd one, will they attack the third one or leave it alone since its taming and therefore kinda neutral until spooked?

[echo ore]

how do you tame 2-star wolves if they disappear at dawn?

[mellow lodge]

Feed them before dawn and they stick around.

[echo ore]

ok. ty!

[silent jackal]

so if the yellow numbers in parentheses are the total number that you can deal after your modifiers, how is it that the yellow numbers on the poison of this axe equal less than the original value? genuinely confused af rn.

and the base dmg adds up to 70 in the yellow numbers even tho the original dmg is 80. and my axe skill is like my 3rd highest, it was my main weapon all the way til the plains

pretty sure whoever corrected me a couple days ago was high af

[echo ore]

ok, he still disappeared 😦

[silent jackal]

did he already start eating, and the hearts show up? or had he not started the process yet

cause if they havent started the process yet im pretty sure they still despawn

you also have to be in range of them

[echo ore]

couldn't really tell, i was standing off aways to let him deaggro off of me

he wasn't afraid anymore with a pen full of boar meat

[silent jackal]

i like to build a little hut next to the pit that im taming them in so that once night falls i can just sleep through the night real quick

[echo ore]

good idea

does that help?

[silent jackal]

i mean if youre taming them inside of the mountain biome or right next to it on the border, ya. cause more shit spawns at night, including the fenrings. and your combat with them will startle the wolves

[faint shale]

bought the game some time ago and havent played much of it. any beginner tips?

[silent jackal]

never throw anything away. if you dont need it, yes you do.

keep one stam primary food, one health primary food, and one food that has a good mix on you at all times early on. late game youll carry one of one and two of the other, theres no half/halfs that have decent stats.

dont go too crazy making a wooden base early, as itll soon become outdated once u get stone/iron.

u can bash trees together early/get trolls to knock them down to get fine wood and core wood without needing a bronze axe.

not getting hit is the best armor. but if youre going a slow melee build, more armor is the best armor.

theres probably a lot more but thats off the top of my head

also making a fine bow as soon as possible will make a lot of fights go a lot easier, you can pick enemies off before they realize youre there most of the time if u crouch up and sneak attack them for the 3x dmg

crude bows are complete ass

[silent jackal]

question, does anyone know if backstab for a bow also triples the arrow's added on damage or jsut the base dmg of the bow?

[faint shale]

is there a way to set my spawnpoint, like a bed? if so how can i craft one

also i have a broken axe how can i fix it

[silent jackal]

in order to craft anything besides the 4 basic things in your inventory crafting list, you need a workbench with a roof and walls around it. and you repair everything there too.

eventually youll have other work stations too, and you'll make/repair things at those as well. but for now the workbench is gonna be your main hub.

[faint shale]

what exactly do i do tho, ive been walking around for awhile and havent found anything new

[tired root]

You need a building hammer. With that you can build crafting stations, base structures and furniture. So you can create a bed to set your spawn point at it, but you need to have roof, 80% cover (walls) and a fireplace nearby to use it for sleeping.

With building hammer equipped you can build a workbench, which is used for crafting and repairing gear, but it needs to be under roof so you can use it. Also it allows you build base structures like walls, roofs, etc.

[faint shale]

my game runs fine otherwise but when i run it lags and stutters terribly

[silent jackal]

try turning down your graphics settings

[faint shale]

i did, still lagging. also turned off accelerated gpu and vsync

[silent jackal]

are you loading in new parts of the map? or just when youre running around where youve already explored

[faint shale]

new parts

[silent jackal]

may be why

just tryna catch up and load everything in

[faint shale]

im confused on how eating/healing works

i eat food but my health goes up so slowly

[silent jackal]

eating food will increase your max health by the health stat of the food, and it will slowly go down over time til it runs out completely. healing is based off how much healing you get per tick per food item, and its sped up if youre rested, and slowed down if youre cold/wet

[frail cave]

note the distinction betweeing resting and rested.
you have resting while standing in a sheltered, warm area or while sitting by a fire outside, and get rested after having had resting for 20 uninterrupted seconds. (duration depends on the level of comfort)
resting is the stronger of the two, but only really usable at home.

[compact heath]

you should be "resting" at home if you want it to go up in the fastest possible way, I do that usually after I die instead of eating and heading out straight after I ate, better to wait while you are "resting in the base" until the food has done enough healing to get your HP to a good amount

[tired root]

Also later you are able to prepare better food items for more health and stamina and also something that heals you more rapidly.

[mystic phoenix]

I need help restoring one of my previous saves... but its not working for me

[faint shale]

what is tick? each second?

[silent jackal]

i wanna say a tick is like 10 seconds or something like that. idk, i had seen a video about it on yt but i dont remember the exact time.

easiest way to tell is eat food, then time how often you heal without resting or rested buffs.

each game measures in-game time differently

[tired root]

Tick is each 10 seconds your character heals when consumed foods, the foods have information how much they heal per tick. The regeneration can be improved by resting and having the Rested buff.

[silent jackal]

i was right about this mistlands being kinda big. im glad. found a lot of good shit so far

[willow raft]

Wasn't a few days ago about blocking?

If you want to know more about damage mechanics find them here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Listed_Damage

The orange numbers are the listed max weapon damage, the yellow in parentheses is the actual damage range you have if attacking with said weapon and depends on your skill with said weapon.

[frail cave]

yea the blocking skill starts at the orange number and increases beyond that as you level, while weapon skills start at greatly reduced damage and very slowly work their way up to 100% of the orange damage at level 100

(well, the upper range of the yellow numbers iirc reaches 100% a bit before level 100, but it never surpasses it)

[pure steppe]

Hello. My wife and I play Valheim. We installed a server from Steam. And we play on two Xbox Series X. But we encountered a problem. The ping in the game is 150, although we are all connected to the same router and are on the same local network. This causes desynchronization and lags. This is not very pleasant. Help. Maybe there is a way to play directly on the local network?

[compact heath]

I need some serious help... I need to know if Geirrhafa is a boy or a girl haha

the wiki says he, but no source!

[candid canopy]

i need 4 vikings furious and feral, to kill my foes in cold blood, to prove they are worthy of Valhalla !

[thick nexus]

hi, im using a gportal server and have added myself as admin, i am trying to spawn in some dverger as they has seemingly dies somehoew, devcommands are set to tru but when i input 'spawn DvergerMageSupport' as an example, it says 'spawn' is not valid in the current context?

[true steeple]

Only the host can use cheat commands (so nobody in a dedicated server)

[thick nexus]

ahhh damn okay, i was assuming that putting myself as an admin would work but nevermind, will have to live without my dvergers :(((

[true steeple]

I think admin is just for commands like kick and ban

[thick nexus]

ahhh thatd make sense, thats fair enough, thank you for your help 🙂

[true steeple]

Killing dvergr is part of progression, they have to die at some point

[thick nexus]

well ive been using carts and eitr to get around killing them and figured id set up a base using them as a type of defence

i wish you could 'tame' them in a way haha XD

[lilac coyote]

That would be slavery, so no.

[thick nexus]

not slavery, just befriend them so they could follow you around and help defend bases and stuff, maybe like a mini quest that you can get from them

[mellow lodge]

Maybe pay them coins

[junior sigil]

Slavery is bad. Murdering them for their stuff is, umm ... <checks notes> ... good.

[willow raft]

You don't need to murder them for their stuff but you can.

[junior sigil]

Oh, I know that. I rp to never kill them. I just thought Derek pointing out we can't have slavery was funny in juxtaposition to the usual meta (and I suspect he's the kind of player to just kill them outright). 🙂

[willow raft]

Well depending on the kind of slavery and method of killing, slavery can be worse than dead.

[buoyant peak]

Sure...

Especially the mages who can very easily obliterate your base with their attacks at the minimal aggro

[thick nexus]

Ya literally 😆 would be nice to just befriend them, that way they wouldn’t be able to destroy your structures

[true steeple]

You’re supposed to kill them, not befriend them

[buoyant peak]

They would even if they were your allies...

Even your own aoe attacks can damage your structures, why would theirs not?

[mellow lodge]

Dverger are bros for life. I still want to build them fortifications so they can suicide on stuff. Lol.

They like to run into lava for some reason

[thick nexus]

I’m sure they’d be able implement something that could prevent that if you befriend them

[thick nexus]

There’s ways around that though and they’re not hostile when you first see them. I don’t know what the problem would be implementing something where you become allies with them and they don’t damage your base

[buoyant peak]

Yes, just like they did with asksvins and especially lox...

Structures can and will receive damage from attacks, doesn't matter the source of it.

[willow raft]

As it should.

[frosty frost]

when i take a hammer and break my window it doesent just bounce of because it is ME hitting MY window 🙂

[willow raft]

I don't want any dvergrs near my base, they are so destructive.

[frosty frost]

its a boy 😄

[willow raft]

Are you assuming its gender?

[frosty frost]

Hmm? His trophy description literally says "He's giving you an icy stare." 😄

[lilac coyote]

Um, no?

[main stratus]

Is it possible to join dedicated servers on xbox?

[frosty frost]

Yes

[main stratus]

Thanks

[thick nexus]

Yes, obviously. That’s why I said there’s no reason they can make it that allies don’t do that.

[willow raft]

As long as the trophy knows ^^

[spring frigate]

Why he always has to give me heart attack?

[spring frigate]

is this best trio for yagg fight?

[silent jackal]

up to that point, basically. and u also want a fire resist mead.

[true steeple]

I think so, maybe serpent stew would be better than the pie but if it is it’s a small difference.

[silent jackal]

it also depends on if youre using melee/range. if youre using a bow (wouldnt recommend, he takes only 25% dmg from pierce dmg) you want high stam but a melee build with like frostner or a silver sword, you want high health to be able to tank a few hits if u dont roll away fast enough. again, wouldnt recommend bows cause even if u use ice arrows, the only real dmg youll be dealing is the ice dmg and itll take forever

[rich roost]

@spring frigatethat is Odin cheching on you to not stab him in the back 😄

[true steeple]

Stamina diets are good for melee too, so you can deal more damage before having to regenerate stamina

[silent jackal]

better to just slice and dice with a silver sword

[true steeple]

If you don’t want to make a silver sword, frostner or black metal sword also work very well.

[silent jackal]

ya definitely, especially with his fucking armageddon move

so i died yesterday, with carapace armor on. in the mistlands. forgot to use my bonemass buff cause i was frantically trying to escape 3 seekers, a 1* seeker, a seeker soldier and a gjall all at the same time and my brain just turned off. went back to get my shit, got it all, but then when i returned at base my carapace armor wasnt in my inventory and now im confused af

i didnt throw it away and i looted everything from my body

[spring frigate]

how long it takes for it to ferment?

[true steeple]

Two days

[grizzled urchin]

this isn't gonna be helpful but the perspective made the fermenters look GIGANTIC "what is bro cooking"
looked like you were standing for a second

[spring frigate]

well.. they are tho :v

is it enough distance to not trigger raids?

[silent jackal]

no

if youre in render distance youre in raid distance.

youre barely like 30-40 meters away

[lilac coyote]

And 40+ is fine.

[thick nexus]

wtf, why do they look so big 😂 I must be stupid and not realised how massive they are lmao

[loud linden]

Wait 'til you venture out into the real world and see an elephant, or a giraffe, at your local zoo!

[thick nexus]

Sounds like you’ve only figured that out yourself 😂

[loud linden]

No it doesn't. Shoosh.

Guys any tips to make proper roofs because i suck at it ;w;

whats the best way to kill the big flying guys in Mistlands?

[true steeple]

Gjalls? Their eggs are weak to pierce, so aim a bow or spear there.

[frail cave]

the underside?

[true steeple]

Yes, the round orange tick eggs beneath their bodies

[frail cave]

ok, ty!

[subtle parrot]

You can give it a meter overhang, add a row of 1x1 meter floor at the edge of the structure where the roof starts on either side, and it'll add some depth to the build as well.

[loud spade]

@frail cave start by understanding that the floor plan/ foundation of your build impacts how your roof will turn out. There are videos on yt that go over the basics of roofing in valheim

[frail cave]

man i js need someone to help me with it i dont wanna watch tutorials on a save i am merely tryna get knowledge abt what to do not build

build is for later when i get to play w my bf

[silent jackal]

oh really? idk why i thought u had to be farther

[silent jackal]

i was streaming to my sister on discord earlier to show her the game and i heard a gjall so i was running around tryna find it and then i turned a corner and it was right in front of me 😂 and i didnt have any nearby portals. and i died on top of one of those giant spires. good thing is tho i found my armor i thought i lost, apparently i just dumped it in my gold chest to clear inventory space at some point

hey there chat, is anyone able to help me here with the Valheim Boardgame? I just have some questions on what comes with what and all cause I wanna make sure I get everything. I've loved the Hel out of the video game and wanna support this game more.

[lilac coyote]

It's not out yet.

[stoic trench]

What kind of questions do you have?

[lilac coyote]

https://gamefound.com/en/projects/mood-publishing/valheim-the-board-game has the info.

[crude flame]

One second, making family a real quick dinner

[crude flame]

its not out yet but the gamefound.com site still allows you to pre-purchase the game and other exclusive merch,

@stoic trench if I get the "All-in" pledge that includes everything and all of the expansions and the extra cards and other bonuses other then the "Merch section". So if i get the all-in, the dice keyring, the coasters (maybe two sets cause people lose those), the spoon, and an extra dice set cause... people lose those too. I'd get everything plus a little spare in case I lose things plus the ships for being an early follower? Do you know?

[stoic trench]

You’ll get two ships, yep!

[crude flame]

That's alot

[mellow lodge]

Raids can happen when you’re within 40m of 3 base objects. So greater than 40 is fine.

[faint shale]

how am i able to get a level 2 axe? the one i have isnt cutting it for hunting deer

[crude flame]

for stone and flint axes, you'll need to improve the quality of a workbench by making a "crafting station upgrade" I believe the first one is a "woodcutters log" or something of that sort.

from there, instead of the "craft" panel, click on the "upgrade" panel right next to it, they are tabs on the righthand side of the screen above all the options for crafting

[silent jackal]

chopping block is the actual name

[grizzled urchin]

Why not use bow?

[crude flame]

thank you, im very tired

[silent jackal]

the crude bow is pretty ass tbh, better to use a spear or knife

crude bow has very very very bad accuracy, u can be shooting with the wind at a target like 5-10m away and still miss

[faint shale]

i need deer hide which i dont have

[grizzled urchin]

Ah I always skip crude bow

[silent jackal]

i mean if he doesnt even have a lv2 axe yet theres no way he has access to a finewood bow xd

[grizzled urchin]

You can get finewood without an axe

Chop down bitch and oak trees with other trees :P

[silent jackal]

like technically he could but i guarantee he doesnt

ya but i can almost guarantee hes not doing that or getting trolls to do slave labor

[grizzled urchin]

But he could, I don't see why not

Schizoid get finewood and oonga boonga jump axe them deer!!

[silent jackal]

what im saying is if hes having trouble in the early game and hes new, and doesnt even know how to level up a stone axe.. hes not cheesing the system

no one jumps hurtles before they learn how to walk

[faint shale]

yea tbh i dont think im ready for that

i keep getting jumped bythese dwarf things with hammers lol

[grizzled urchin]

I'm saying anyone can learn

Schizoid if you wanna get early finewood, chop down a tree and damage the bitch trees with a log (physically push it into the bitch tree until it takes damage), takes a while but the finewood bow is worth it :)
The log can hurt you, that's about it in terms of challenge 🤷‍♀️

[faint shale]

ill try it thanks

[grizzled urchin]

Np, it's not necessary but honestly I always do it when I start a new game

[faint shale]

it took awhile but it worked

so now uh, how do i get the wood lol? the birch tree turned into a log but me rolling another log into it doesnt work @grizzled urchin

[grizzled urchin]

it should work eventually, it just explodes like a normal tree
check the damage numbers

[reef storm]

does root harnesk pierce resist stack with bonemass physical resist?

[frail cave]

no, and they both give the same amount (50%)
the game always just uses the strongest resistance of each damage type that you have

[reef storm]

thanks

[silent jackal]

no

oh didnt realize someone already answered it lol

[true steeple]

It does stack with the serpent scale shield because that resistance is applied in blocking calculations instead of damage reduction.

[jolly turret]

It’s amazing! 🤩

[fringe osprey]

guys, a question. why can't i mine this part of the rubble?

a

[spark flower]

Other than boats is there a faster way of traversing? Gonna try face the second forsaken one today but it's quite a stroll from where my base is

[frosty frost]

There is a limit to how far down you can dig

[willow raft]

Not really if you don't want to use debugmode, but once you get there you can put up a portal to get back to base or get back to boss from base in the event that you die.

[spark flower]

Portal?

[willow raft]

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

[spark flower]

Ahh, I see. Thank you very much for the help!

[spring frigate]

this mist.. is so unsettling

[spark flower]

I'm also thinking of moving base some time soon, as mine is still really close to the spawn and I feel like that's not a good idea come later game

[spring frigate]

...

[willow raft]

It is a good idea later in the game to at least have a portal near spawn because you will need to hang the trophies of bosses there and you can get powers there.
Best biome to have a base in is plains in my opinion.

[spark flower]

is the plains the like, sorta empty grass fields or is that meadows?

[spring frigate]

you think i can make it and kill them all?

[willow raft]

Plains is the biome that has big ass mosquitos flying in it and little green gibbering humanoids.
It is the 5th biome you should go to, meadows -> black forest -> swamp (hardest biome in my opinion) -> mountains -> plains.

[willow raft]

Toss them some pufferfish and they will die without aggro.
If you want to do it manually try and separate them or lure some seekers or a gjall their way.

[spring frigate]

ill have to leave them

[spring frigate]

thier tower is line in middle of nowhere -_-

[willow raft]

Still possible to get a gjall there or some seekers, requires some sailing though.
I'd go for pufferfish as that is the most safe but if you do have a portal closebyish you could try.

[halcyon crag]

minor spelling mishap in the commands here

[wise saddle]

Hi,
my player randomly started not to auto pickup items and cant teleport by teleport, this is the log. Anyone had this issue aswell?

[real nebula]

considering that's a bepinex wrapper, you might want to ask in #mods-issues

[wise saddle]

gotcha, thank you

[silent jackal]

Tbh if u have a black metal sword or mist walker u can almost one shot their entire group cause of the sweeping effect from the sword and high dmg for stagger

Hit em twice and they’ll be staggered and u can finish them off

[kind shore]

Why It is not showing up?

[true steeple]

The sign is probably backwards.

[kind shore]

Yeah i just realised that

🤣

[spark flower]

Killed The Elder, need to find a swamp now right?

[echo sparrow]

YE

[loud linden]

You don't need to. But, that's the progression intent.

[junior sigil]

So, I'm in an infested mine I haven't been in in at least 20 hours of gameplay (almost certainly more) and no jelly has respawned. Is it an inconsistent mechanic?

[silent jackal]

its a finite resource

[echo sparrow]

no, much of the mines resset

the jelly should and new enemies should spawn
not the loot of course

[junior sigil]

Well, that hasn't happened.

[silent jackal]

oh idr who it was but someone had said that it didnt respawn

[echo sparrow]

mine seems to in like NO time at all--very weird, wonder if you found a bug or alternatively there's some variability in the mechanic I wasn't aware of

[junior sigil]

It didn't use to @silent jackal . That mechanic was added later.

[silent jackal]

ah i see

thats good to know then

[junior sigil]

I've just never tested it, because I have like 20 stacks of jelly just from 1st passes.

[silent jackal]

ya same

[echo sparrow]

ahhhh i din't know that @junior sigil most dungeons have some stuff in them that respawns (e.g. the yellow mushrooms), but the enemies respawning is pretty unique to the mines, can't think of anothe rdungoen that does that

[silent jackal]

i only explored one mine so far although ive found another one, and i have so much jelly its stupid lol

[echo sparrow]

it's good to have a lot if you want to play mage

[silent jackal]

ya. i just need some more sap before i can effectively do a mage build

and ive only found one extractor so far so the sap collection is going slow

[echo sparrow]

yeah that's another choke--right, you gotta get extractors AND bring black metal (IIRC, there's some metal component) too to build each one

[silent jackal]

ya. black metal for me isnt an issue, ive got like 3 locations i can farm it pretty easy but finding the extractors is the frustrating part for me

[junior sigil]

I think I may know the issue with this mine. I can hear a seeker, but I can't find it. Maybe the mechanic has a "don't reset until everything is killed the first time". I think this seeker must be glitched in a wall somewhere. I get the open-eye on crouch, so something is sensing me.

[halcyon crag]

distant memory tells me the jelly respawns after a few in game days

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, it's not instantaneous.

[halcyon crag]

likely a hidden room or passage you didn't find

[junior sigil]

Checking very carefully again, but I've made like 3 passes now.

[spark flower]

ah right, nother question. Should I make multiple main bases? like i have a couple outposts and one main base but I feel with how big the map is and the fact I'm solo having multple may be good!

[halcyon crag]

swamp isn't ideal for a base, nor is the next biome the mountains, you can if you really want, but i'd suggest waiting until you reach plains where you can actually grow things and have more unlocked by the way of crafting (adjacent outposts in meadows/forest work well for those biomes too)

[junior sigil]

Found my culprit. I have a room with dvergr grating in the floor, and under the grating is a room that has a tick in it. But I don't think there's any way into it.

[halcyon crag]

you may be able to shoot it

[junior sigil]

Nope. Couldn't shoot through the grates. I devcommand killed it because I want to test the theory that this place will respawn now.

[halcyon crag]

remaining mobs shouldn't have anything to do with respawn mechanics

[junior sigil]

I'll see. If not, then this will likely be some bug.

[halcyon crag]

and inaccessible rooms shouldn't be a thing either lol

[junior sigil]

You'd think. But I'm guessing this configuration is meant to be atmospheric, and probably nothing was meant to spawn below the grate.

[true steeple]

If nothing was meant to spawn there the developers wouldn’t have placed a spawner there

[junior sigil]

If the commands had a noclip, I'd go down and prove it has no outlet.

[halcyon crag]

use freefly camera

[junior sigil]

ooo. just a sec.

[spark flower]

alright! thank you

[junior sigil]

Yeah, this is definitely a behind the scenes room, and it now has tick bits in it. #screenshots message

So... a glitch.

I'll report back if this place respawns in a couple of days.

[halcyon crag]

an oddity for sure, an aoe hammer or a bomb may have worked as a last resort

[junior sigil]

Yeah, I was trying to get it through the wall below to no avail.

[halcyon crag]

the game tries to spawn anywhere there is a patch of "ground" for it to spawn something on

that's why you sometimes get skele's and draugr inside rocks xD

[blazing marsh]

I've been playing on dedicated server hosted on my pc, but since it was very unstable and laggy we decided to switch to normal steam hosting. When I transfered world files to local to keep the world my minimap flipped by 90*. And only mine. Anyway to clear minimap or something?

[subtle parrot]

There is a map cache file you can clear
#valheim-help message

[blazing marsh]

Thanks!

[subtle parrot]

Hope that helps

[blazing marsh]

Worked btw and better than I thought, somehow I got entire map back just in right rotation

[spark flower]

I can't find a swamp for the life of me, is it connected to any biomes or far from spawn or smth?

[frosty frost]

they dont have to be on spawn island at all

[lilac coyote]

Swamp is a biome and should spawn from 2000-6000m from centre.

[spark flower]

Ah okay, so search further! Got it thank you Derek

[lilac coyote]

If you have a boat, you should go sailing. Swamp trees are really obvious from the coastline.

[marble snow]

Hey, I'm kinda new to valheim and I was wonder if anyone could help me with a problem I've been having?

[frosty frost]

Whats your problem? 🙂

[marble snow]

so its easier to explain join the meadow's glade chat

[frosty frost]

Sadly i cant right now 😦

[marble snow]

thats fine

[spark flower]

I have the upgrade to the raft (can't remember the name) I'll go looking soon as I can

[lilac coyote]

Karve is the second boat.

[spark flower]

Ah that's the name, thanks again Derek

As for copper, is there any way to make it less of a chore to get?

[lilac coyote]

I've never found it a chore, to be honest. You need so little of it it barely becomes a problem.

[spark flower]

Fair I guess, just trying to get more bronze to upgrade my pole arm, though maybe that's a waste of time

[stoic trench]

Make sure when you find a copper node, you dig a little deeper. They go pretty far underground, 1 node can give you a huge supply of copper.

[spark flower]

Alright thanks!

[lilac coyote]

What was your problem?

[marble snow]

Its kinda hard to explain...if you join the meadow's glade chat I can expain it easier

[lilac coyote]

No, can't really voice chat now.

[marble snow]

all good man👍

[lilac coyote]

Is it really not possible to explain with words?

[marble snow]

I'm better at explaining with words rather than typing it out

If you don't wanna join the chat that perfectly fine...

I need help but I not really in a rush for an answer

[stoic trench]

Is it Valheim related?

[marble snow]

yes

[lilac coyote]

I'd have assumed so, given the channel they've posted in. It's just a shame they're reluctant to type their problem out thereby having more people able to help them.

[stoic trench]

I figured as much, but I’m wondering what situation there could be in Valheim that’s difficult to explain? Maybe you could give it shot Weapon?

[marble snow]

I'm not reluctant to typing it out, it's just harder for me to explain through message than actually talking

Like i said if you don't want to join the chat thats fine, I'm not in an rush to get an answer

[stoic trench]

Maybe I can get on in a few hours, if your haven’t found your answer by then 🙂

[marble snow]

That's fine

[frosty frost]

I am free now if you still need help 🙂

[marble snow]

yeah

[manic lark]

idk if it belongs here but i want to make a drauger farm but i just killed the elder boss. can i use normal firepits to kill the draugers or do i need the special bronze ones that can be crafted only once you get into snow biom?

[true steeple]

Any kind of fire would break after damaging draugrs enough times. You really don’t need to farm them, you get more than enough entrails by exploring swamps and sunken crypts.

[tired root]

Hanging braziers don't break.

[manic lark]

nonono that is suicide at my game stage not ready for swamps yet

[manic lark]

o dont they need chains?

[true steeple]

What do you need entrails for then?
Also if you can kill the elder you can kill a swamp.

[lilac coyote]

Sausages.

[true steeple]

But exploring the swamp is suicide, apparently
So no turnips

[manic lark]

foood

i can make sausages

[manic lark]

i had a luck finding one on small small swamp spot only skeletons were there so it was easy to get

[true steeple]

Are you playing on a higher difficulty?

[manic lark]

medium but they still beating my ass

[bright reef]

has anyone ever made some sort of mechanism with hoe raise ground so that it acts as an elevator for transporting items/cart?

[lilac coyote]

How on earth would that work? Just make a slope.

[frail cave]

only thing that comes to my mind would be hugging the terrain wall, throwing an item out and thus under the terrain, which would teleport it back on top of the terrain on its current x, y coordinates after it falls too deep.

[subtle parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-gif-23140940

[rain temple]

Hey! Any tips to find a Mistland quick? Thanks in advice :)

[molten mountain]

A regular slope would be a lot quicker than using "Raise terrain" as an elevator

[molten mountain]

the longship is a lot faster than walking, i recommend scouting around by boat 🙂

[rain temple]

Is it nearby another specific biome like Swamp with Plains?

[molten mountain]

they spawn fairly far away from the center of the map, far enough that there won't be any more meadows nearby

[silent jackal]

so i started a new hardcore run. and im completely surrounded by black forest lmao. ive killed a troll already, and gotten quite a bit of dwarf eyes and got lucky and found a bunch of beehives early but like... i just wanna kill eikthyr and start getting metal and i cant cause i cant find the fuckin altar 😭 😂

[rain temple]

Use a troll as your pickaxe 😎

[silent jackal]

you know.... if i hadnt been getting chased by 3 skeletons and a shit ton of greydwarves and shit i probably would have had the presence of mind to do that

[molten mountain]

no spawn wegvisir allowed on that hardcore run? 🤔👀

[silent jackal]

but i just ran and managed to outrun the dwarves but not the troll so i just killed it in an abandoned camp

hardcore as in no deaths, although i havent found a vegvisir anyway

tried getting a troll to break a pine tree for me so that i could make a stag breaker already but its fist was going right through the tree for some reason, not sure what was happening

[bright reef]

my idea was have a card ready at the shore transfer all matts to the cart, raise ground to creat slope. have cart fall down hill into a nearby storage/base?

[echo talon]

I think this is a good chance to use the raft.
Let's go out to sea and look for other meadows.

[silent jackal]

ima just big dick it

[compact geode]

I already fixed the base but it's the misleads boss being killed

[stoic trench]

Is player based raids turned on? I don’t know if there is a way to restore your base unless you have a backup.

[compact geode]

I don't know what you call it basically after you beat one of the bosses you'll find the mob of that zone at night sometimes

I just really want to fix the save for my friends so we can all play together again

[stoic trench]

Yep, I know what you mean- sometimes harder monsters appear in biomes they don’t normally appear in during night as you defeat bosses. I think enabling player-based progression will solve this?

[compact geode]

I'm not very smart with the game. Do you know how to do that

[stoic trench]

Are you using a dedicated server? Like do you pay for it or anything like that?

[loud linden]

Whatever works for you, but I don't. I tend to have a main base (more like a compound), with a large portal room and use it as much as possible - it's my main in the sense that no other base will be as comprehensive or 'levelled up'. Then I'll have small bases at the main compass points about two-thirds of the way to the edge of the map, which are used as portal hubs, and have a decent comfort level for springboards to exploring.

[tired root]

Good luck! I was successful with my latest no death run, it was a blast. 🙂

[junior sigil]

@tired root It's @silent jackal playing the hardcore. I just play a nice normal game (for now).

[tired root]

Sorry, I replied to Darha. I don't know why it added your name to my reply. Second time it happened (on mobile).

[true steeple]

That’s Hildir

[warm narwhal]

danka

[halcyon crag]

actually that adds more triggers for raids, they'd need to use commands to disable boss keys to get rid of the night spawns afaik

[true steeple]

It’s called player based raids, not player based progression.

[stoic trench]

Ahh gotcha, makes sense. Thanks for the correction.

[orchid iron]

Which weapon should I make in Mistlands (other than staves) ?

[true steeple]

Himminafl, Mistwalker and Krom are all great. You won't really need them if using magic, but Himminafl's secondary could be useful for keeping enemies away.

[orchid iron]

I only used Swords and Maces before, so my other weapon type skills are very low, should I prioritize Mistwalker ?

[tiny violet]

Mistwalker is a great weapon

[true steeple]

Mistwalker will be better at damaging things, but skills won't affect the 300 knockback himminafl's secondary attack has.

So it could be more useful when used together with magic

[orchid iron]

I want to primarily be melee, magic is just maybe to start combat

[tiny violet]

if you have 0 bow skill on that character, and want a ranged weapon, the arbalist is also good in my opinion. not as good as bows technically but if you have 0 bow skill and want something to help vs Gjalls, I enjoyed the arbalist

[orchid iron]

is Mistwalker good to start Ashlands with ?

[orchid iron]

I have like 55 bow skill

[true steeple]

You might want to consider making the arbalest instead of staves then. It's perfect for starting combat because you can move normally when the shot is loaded.

[tiny violet]

In my opinion, Mistwalker is good to start Ashlands with for sure. It holds up right through Ashlands when you unlock black forge upgrades and can upgrae the Mistwalker further. And also in my opinion, 55 bow skill is not bad, the Spinesnap is a good bow

[true steeple]

55 bow skill is insane, mine's usually 20-30 by mistlands and sometimes less

[orchid iron]

does the arbalest do more dmg than staves ? at least 1 shot

[true steeple]

Yes, and it is better at longer ranges

[orchid iron]

The problem is the bolts, if you want good ones you need to spend Iron, BM or Carapace

I like magic cause it's free (I think, havent tried it yet)

[tiny violet]

I used carapce bolts. they're the best bolts at that level and I was so overflowing with carapace

[true steeple]

Magic requires eating eitr food, so you'll have less health and stamina for melee, but you won't need any health with a staff of protection.

I use two eitr and one stamina food when using magic.

[orchid iron]

Damn, how ? I need a lot more carapace to finish upgrading my Mistlands set, so I don't have any to spare for bolts

[copper raven]

hoiw can i make an eternal light source? I have tried mushrooms on item stand, but it wont let me do that. Surtling trophy works, but the light is very weak. I dont really want to have to feed torches, or mod them to burn forever, but I'm prepared to consider that option. Suggestions?

[true steeple]

Wisp torches, dvergr lanterns, lava lanterns and wards all work. There's probably a ton of other things too but I can't remember them.

[subtle parrot]

Slaughtering seekers at this point should be a breeze for more carapace

[tiny violet]

Just from fighting in the Ashlands a lot. I did spend a pretty long time in the Ashlands. also I didn't use the crossbow a lot tbh. Just very helpful vs the Gjalls

[true steeple]

If you have any more infested mines you need to go through you'll get a ton more carapace.

[copper raven]

@true steeple evidently im too early-game for those

wards however....

[subtle parrot]

Wards are black forest tier iirc

[true steeple]

You could use iron torches, they last a long time. (33 hours and 20 minutes)

[tiny violet]

also if you have 55 bow skill, you'd prob be better off with the Spinesnap bow. Bow and Crossbow have different skill, and bow is better overall. so if you have 55 bow skill I would stick with the bow. Spinesnap. Frost arrows are a favorite especially in Ashlands

[orchid iron]

I just double checked and it's actually 45

should I still use bow or go to arbalest ?

[true steeple]

45 is still very high, I'd stick to bows at that point

[tiny violet]

bow. Bow is better in the overall. Arbalest is best for someone who made it that far in the game w/o using bows at all and has like close to 0 bow skill

[orchid iron]

and is it worth it to upgrade to the spinesnap ?

[frail cave]

bows have better dps (especially at higher levels, even if both weapons' levels are equal) but are more stamina-heavy and have less damage per projectile, making crossbows generally better for initiating combat

so it's mostly up to preference

[orchid iron]

is it worth to upgrade to spinesnap ? or is the draugr fang better ?

[frail cave]

damage wise, spine snap is slightly better, but being two biomes ahead, it's gonna cost a lot more stamina to use, so it depends on how good you are on stamina

[orchid iron]

Okay, thank you

[true steeple]

Using this bow is backbreaking work, but so worth it.

[orchid iron]

I forgot to ask about shields, should I go carapace shield or buckler ?

[true steeple]

I'd reccomend the shield if you have 2 health foods, and the buckler if you use 2 stamina foods. (this also applies for 3 of the food type but you shouldn't do that)

[orchid iron]

I always go two health, so I guess the shield it is

Thank you

[silent jackal]

i have a feeling itll be a breeze all the way up to mistlands. i dont have any issues with seekers or soldiers or anything but the gjalls sometimes still get me

[silent jackal]

if youre wanting a normal bow, ya. i upgraded to the crossbow though. anything pre-mistlands i dont need a bow for except like drakes and whatnot, and the only thing i need it for in the mistlands is the gjalls and a normal bow aint gonna cut it

it also takes 2 fucking years to reload and if youre sprinting it stops the reload process and starts over once youre done sprinting/jumping

[tired root]

Crossbow is good against Gjall if you have high ground and spot it first. You can keep shooting and it can't reach you because of knockback.
Throwing spear under it at its weak point deals quick damage.

[gloomy sonnet]

boring we can't have them loaded in inventory like in real life 😉

kick shot 1-8 you unload 8 crossbow imagine ;P

but like irl bow are FAR better than crossbow. bow reload faster. best bowmen send 30 arrows in a min

with the best crossbow may be 4 ?

and irl bow do even more piercing than crossbow. at least on medieval armor

ofc that will depends or arrows and bolt you will use

the pope himself after death of dusgueclin asked to stop the use of crossbow but in fact bow are a way better.

oups sorry wrong chat ?

[tired root]

Any easier way to remove this than using Battering ram?

[frosty frost]

I think maybe catapult? But not sure

[tired root]

Good idea, I forgot about the Catapult 😅

[frosty frost]

I have not used it much so i am not sure what stuff it can and can't destroy

[lilac coyote]

We've only ever used it for launching ourselves.

[frosty frost]

Pretty much same 😂

[tired root]

Yeah, it is indeed FUN

[loud linden]

I don't endorse the requirement; it's just dumb that we can't dismantle Ashlands (and Mistlands) buildings with proximity to appropriate workstations. But... my advice is start at the top - build platforms for battering ram access. Or, just enclose the whole area in roofing and use the central tower as a chimney.

[stoic trench]

If you could just dismantle the fortress, what’s even the point of the fortress? 😅

[loud linden]

What's even the point of a Skeleton tower? Or a Fuling village?

[small nest]

will there be mistlands? (moder spawn altar)

[stoic trench]

I don’t believe you can dismantle Fuling villages with a workstation, right? And also, those POIs don’t hold valuable treasure in them. Additionally, to dismantle a skeleton watchtower, you would need the best biomes metal.

[loud linden]

Exactly. It's not like you can walk up to an Ashlands fortress, drop a workbench, a stonecutter, a black forge and then just start breaking bricks.

[lunar ore]

How can I locate Moder boss

[small nest]

vegvisirs found in frost caves or in those stone structures (they are more likely to spawn in caves tho)

[lunar ore]

I finished many caves but neven seen I suppose, yet I will try more

[tired root]

Too bad Demolisher doesn't demolish it.. I tried catapult and it worked a bit, but then it didn't. And I want to avoid it hitting the walls so I try Ram

[spark flower]

I cannot find a swamp crypt for the life of me

[junior sigil]

Some swamps may have none or one. The bigger the swamp the better the chance. Some can have 9 or 10 in them.

[spark flower]

ah okay, first swamp i found had none

[tired root]

Keep searching, you will eventually find crypts!

[bright reef]

does anyone have a doc similar to this but for foods?

(this is for meads)

[lilac coyote]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18CIv39YFMqIhB8horGHsp2OrTB4e5zcscHPotUR8MbU/

[tired root]

Now, I got every else from the middle tower but those columns, which seem to be indestructible. Does anyone know if there is the right item for "forcedelete" command to remove those?

[quasi silo]

Is there any way to get copper in the ashlands?

[fervent ravine]

havent found one yet. seems each biome has its own metal and resources with wood and stone being the only commonality

[fervent ravine]

need any help?

[quasi silo]

no it's alright

was just wondering cuz the mistlands has a source of iron and copper

and you need copper for a shield generator

[tired root]

There is no copper source in Ashlands in my experience, haven't gotten any even from those pots that sometimes drop bronze, silver or iron.

[hearty fog]

ok couple questions:
Do walls mess with the wind that windmills use to prodouce flour?
Do other animals population mess with the breeding of other animals? (ex: i have max boars for an area so would it mess with wolf breeding)

[stoic trench]

First question I’m not 100%, but I think as long as it’s not under a roof it’ll work fine! Second question, I don’t think so

[hearty fog]

do you think 2 star wolves could survive a bat raid?

[hoary lynx]

you can have the better portal and can just transport metals like that

[subtle parrot]

Absolutely @hearty fog

[hearty fog]

wonderful ty!

[junior sigil]

Not necessarily. They have a hard time hitting them, so they get whittled down. I had a bat raid near a resource collection point I have and had 4 2-stars stationed there. They did not survive. 🙂

[winter grotto]

Modder is impossible solo

[subtle parrot]

Hard, but not impossible

[subtle parrot]

Oof, I had a bat raid and they were barely hurting mine

[quasi silo]

oh right i forgot

[quasi silo]

she just has a crazy amount of hp

mainly because there aren't any weapons that you can use that she's weak to (because the only damage type she's weak to is fire and your only source of fire are fire arrows which are not that good and get outmatched by poison arrows)

[silent jackal]

dont try to land hits while shes flying. dodge her attacks while shes flying and then once she lands, start shooting her with a bow. obsidian arrows are great. just duck behind rocks and shit when she fires her ice breath and then once it stops, pop out and shoot her a couple more times. its a pretty long fight but definitely not impossible if u use the terrain to your advantage

[winter grotto]

Wrong. Impossible. Cant be done

[quasi silo]

also running in a straight line will make you dodge her icicle barrage

[silent jackal]

i did it solo. and im not a veteran player

[hearty fog]

well yea of course, just was wondering if they would get insta killed like boars, or if i had time to go defend them before the go extinct

[subtle parrot]

I've pretty much only played this game solo, it is 💯% possible to kill moder solo. My first time was extremely rough, but it is doable.

[stoic trench]

Hmmm I’ve never had any trouble with Moder. Even when she’s not stuck on terrain 🤔

Used Frostner on her too, it’s a fun fight!

[subtle parrot]

Suffice it to say she's harder for me than yagluth

[stoic trench]

Yagluth gave me trouble 😅

[true steeple]

Yagluth was a problem for me before I realised I can just walk back and block for the meteors instead of running a few kilometres away and then not being able to hit him before he attacks again.

[stoic trench]

Only boss that’s killed me has been the Queen. She was really tough for me.

[true steeple]

She's also the only boss who's killed me. It was my second time fighting her and my first time getting into any kind of difficult fight with magic.

[subtle parrot]

Lol I've been killed by every boss except eikthyr and the elder

[sweet crescent]

is there a command to clear all the loose items on the ground?

[true steeple]

removedrops should work

[silent jackal]

theres also a structure you can make later on that helps with that

[sweet crescent]

for some reason its mostly smooth but sometimes i get lagspikes when just hanging out on this little ocean platform i made. anyone know why that might be?

[hearty fog]

will vineberries grow on raised ground? or it has to be an actual wall?

[sweet crescent]

im pretty sure it has to be a wall, plus if your gonna use stone to raise ground you may as well just make some stonewalls anyway

[hearty fog]

yea i was more wondering if i could like grow it around the perimiter of my base where i already raised the ground

[sweet crescent]

i dont belive so

[hearty fog]

darn

[sweet crescent]

yeah the vines WOULD look cool

[glossy cave]

Hello, how are you? I wanted to check where the save files for my game are to transfer them to a server because I can't find what they used to be like before. Could someone explain to me where to find them?

[molten mountain]

the slight extra bit of damage over time might be helpful for when she's flying 🤔

[true steeple]

The total damage per arrow is lower, it won’t help at all.

[molten mountain]

i don't mean as your main arrow, just plinking moder occasionally to trigger the fire and then swapping back to obsidian arrows

[true steeple]

You’ll do more damage with only obsidian arrows though, not obsidian and fire at the same time

[frail cave]

DoT damage in valheim is not 'the damage in the tooltip + some damage over time ticks', no it's just the damage in the tooltip divided and spread out over however long the damage ticks, simply delayed damage

(and that doesn't help keep monsters from regenerating health either, they do that all the time)

[molten mountain]

ahhhh, i see! Thank you for explaining ^^

[frail cave]

hope it didn't sound snarky, i just wish DoT was more interesting than that personally

[molten mountain]

you're fine, don't worry. I appreciate the slightly more in-depth explanation ^^

[sweet crescent]

i forgot how to disable my hud. how do i do that again?

[frail cave]

ctrl+F3

[halcyon crag]

rofl 1st playthrough solo Boney and Moder downed the same day, and that was back when Boney had double regen

[frail cave]

(all monsters did)

[halcyon crag]

and then there was the time my 4 player group got her spawned twice and i practically had to kill both of them with 2 golems and various drakes and wolves xD

[halcyon crag]

sounds even more impressive when you put it that way but the other mobs and bosses weren't half as hard as Boney lol

the funniest one was when Rob took a breath from her and a Golem smash at the same time and he died with in 1 hit with a large hp pool (i forget how much exactly but i think he was on Mistlands top foods xD)

[frail cave]

ouch

[narrow stratus]

How much more room does a poor lil fir sapling need to grow? What am i missing here?

I already tore down 1/4 of my pyrmid structure to grow this tree...

[frail cave]

did you make sure there aren't any rocks underground under the fir?
it should only need 2 meters in all directions

[narrow stratus]

there might be a rock down there - is there a console command to mine everything in the area?

[frail cave]

forcedelete 10 rock should delete all objects with "rock" in their ID within 10 meters of your character.
(rocks that break into fragments will first be replaced by their fractured version, so the command would need to be used twice for those)

[narrow stratus]

wow ok nice that worked

[mystic atlas]

Lost 15 iron because i wanted to move the forge tool shelve and it didn't give me back my iron

[frail cave]

could it be that the iron is behind a wall or above a ceiling? materials tend to drop above the destroyed structure

[mystic atlas]

yes! on the roof! tx! so weird it jumped up lol

[frail cave]

you're welcome!~

[hallow gate]

Yo

[finite frost]

How do teleporters work I built 3 two of them connect to each other the third dosnet connect to them. How do I make em all connect

[wet river]

U can't, u can only connect 2, when they have the same name

[finite frost]

Oh

[wet river]

Ya it's unfortunate

[finite frost]

Ty tho now I know

[faint shale]

is this good enough protection or should i make it higher?

[finite frost]

Does anyone know how fishing works?

[compact heath]

you find Haldor the merchant, buy a fishing pole and bait, and then equip it and cast the lure into a body of water where you can physically see fish swimming, not sure what buttons on xbox but pc I think its right and left mousebuttons but just test it

[subtle parrot]

As long as you make sure the outside of the wall doesn't have any slopes that the mobs could path up then it's fine, but definitely go along the top and outside of the wall with the hoe set to flatten so it sharpens up the wall and take away any possible places that mobs could run over.

[topaz sail]

is there a console command that stops mobs from spawning? or just freezes the time

[true steeple]

To freeze the day/night cycle use tod (tod 0.5 for noon)

[subtle parrot]

You could alternatively turn on the passive enemy world modifier from the world select menu, if you need a break from mobs attacking you

[topaz sail]

ah I didn't even think about that. Thank you

[severe wyvern]

Anyone know why im not getting any wolf trophys? Ive killed so many in the mountins but havent got a single one.

[true steeple]

There isn’t any specific reason why this can happen, you’re just getting unlucky. If you make the wolf armor chest you can get permanent frost resistance, so you don’t need the trophy.

[tired root]

There is also Lox cape that requires only 2 silver and 6 lox pelt for crafting, but it requires killing 3 of them.

Harder to get tho.

[true steeple]

I don’t recommend going into later biomes

[tired root]

Yeah usually not recommendable if not equipped enough. But it is another option.

[severe wyvern]

I see thanks, yeah i have the chest piece, but i want that nice looking cape. im tired of the deer cape.

Is it possible to get it if i shoot them with fire arrows if i stay in the meadows?

[true steeple]

Obsidian arrows will be better

Also enemies don’t have set spawn points so you don’t need to mark where they spawn

[severe wyvern]

oh, because when i ran past that point 3 of them spawned infront of me

[severe wyvern]

i see thank you

[tired root]

Huntsman bow is good so you don't alert them all at once since it makes the least noise when hitting the target.

If you go to that route.

[true steeple]

You could also shoot an arrow on the ground at the edge of the group so only one hears the arrow

[severe wyvern]

how much health should i have to survive a hit?

[true steeple]

I don’t know exactly but I’d be surprised if they can one-shot you with swamp/mountains equipment and food. If you’re just using a bow they won’t be able to hit you anyway.

[severe wyvern]

Okay, ill try my luck soon and let ya know how it went

[tired root]

I recommend having 2 HP 1 stam foods, you should be able to parry it with Silver Shield.

[true steeple]

If you want to use the bow use two stamina foods so you can stay at a good distance

[severe wyvern]

Alright

[tired root]

That is an option too. Keep distance and shoot arrows.

[true steeple]

I’ve never tried it but if someone don’t have full mountains equipment and food yet I’d recommend it.

I only use a bow for spawners and flying enemies

[severe wyvern]

Im half iron half silver basicly

[grizzled mural]

Do the older auto farm videos still work? Like to ones for boars if you dig far enough the new board are out of the animal cap range?

[tired root]

That should be enough. Avoid fighting more than one at the same time.

[true steeple]

I’ve never made an auto farm but I don’t think anything has changed to how they work.

[severe wyvern]

ill try my best!

[grizzled mural]

Ok sounds good. Maybe there is a mod I can download to remove range cap aswell

[true steeple]

When I make an animal farm I drop the babies into a room below to avoid the range cap.

[grizzled mural]

Lmao just looked at the og vid I watched a while ago and saw a comment saying it still works in ashlands lmao

I just need to try and get some 2 star animals

Any tips for finding 2 star boar? I have a boar runestone a few minutes from my base but they never respawn

[tired root]

You can find more boar runestones scattered in Meadows. They can possibly spawn starred boars but it is always rng how many stars they get.

[stoic trench]

The runestone won’t spawn any more boar. Best bet is to find a an area of meadows and continually hint boar until a 2-star appears. It’s like a 1% chance.

[tired root]

Yeah runestones spawn boars only once. Just keep running through Meadows.

[severe wyvern]

Arent 2 Star Boars extremly rare?

personaly ive never seen one

[tired root]

Like @stoic trench said, about 1% chance

[frail cave]

1% chance per boar spawned from a boar runestone, abandoned village or anywhere more than 800 meters from the world's center

[tired root]

For mobs it is always 10% possibility to spawn with star and another 10% to spawn with other, thus making it 1% chance to spawn with 2 stars.

[grizzled mural]

Time to start the adventure lmao

Oh also with breeders like wolves, boar, chickens. Do they have to be in their respective biome to breed and also can they breed with a roof over their pens

[frail cave]

no and yes
though some tight spaces or uneven floors can mess with their pathfinding, preventing them from eating food.

not often that you run into such problems, but i've heard of some popular breeding tower designs repeatedly getting hit by them

[grizzled mural]

Yeah, I mainly don’t want to go for a quest to find 2 star boar and wolves to get bodied by a bat raid and they die. So that’s why I was asking about a roof

[severe wyvern]

I died😂

[tired root]

Oops.

[severe wyvern]

second try

i didnt know they were so fast

[tired root]

Yeah they can sprint surprisingly fast.

[severe wyvern]

Got him now

[tired root]

Now 2 more and you can craft the cape 🙂

[severe wyvern]

guess ill keep more distance this time

Do you know if they will respawn?

[tired root]

They spawn randomly in Plains, they have no fixed spawn point.

[severe wyvern]

okay, because its a really small plains biome and its the only three there
