[left oriole]

Those are two artisan tables, and a drauger spawned in the middle of the 40m radious of the one further back.

[frail cave]

i'd always recommend using lots and lots of campfires.
they may not visualize the radius, but they're one of the very few player base structures that aren't attacked on sight and they're pretty cheap for it

[left oriole]

oh that I know, I just like burning moder alive and taking her tears to make 40 meter radious artisan tables, so then I can build a nice wide open base with harbor, forge, roads, etc.

[frail cave]

pffft fair

[left oriole]

but if my seed would of had the perfect plains/mistlands archepeligo with a safe mewadows/blackforest connected. I wouldn't be doing this right now.... actually if Iron gate didn't make us need Mistlands AND Plains to grow all crops I wouldnt' of been trying to find an island with plains and mistlands for making farms. lol

[lilac coyote]

You don't need an island with both though.

[left oriole]

I don't, but it's what I wanted for building the final all in one base.

[lilac coyote]

Well, neither Ashlands nor Deep North will be accessible from any other biome so that'll be tricky.

[left oriole]

fun part is, the island is in the southern area of the seed, so it's a bit close to ash lands right now, deep north i'm avoiding incase I can just update the world for the deep north update without starting over xD

[tiny crow]

hi guys my friend just bought the game and when he create charakter it is instantyly deleted is there a solution

[lilac coyote]

I don't see how that changes what I said.

[left oriole]

Well I guess you mean I can't really get to them from my island? Though my seed provides me a good line of ocean to get from where I am all the way up to the deep north as well as into the ash lands.

[lilac coyote]

Well, you can sail, but it sounded like you wanted to be able to walk there.

[left oriole]

no xD I just wanted the ability to have my all in one main base. all crops being able to be farmed at one location, instead of making portals to every single farm in other biomes. Then having our forge, portals, harbor, etc at this one island. Would of prefered an archepeligo with Plains/Mistlands but finding one not connected to larger mistlands has been hard when it's come to finding a new seed. So I'm trying to put enough tables down to make sure this swamp doesn't spawn anything naymore..... but rendering seems to be causing the Artisan tables to not fully protection the areas from spawns if I'm far enough away to allow spawns but not render what's inside of huts. So I guess I need to use console to increase drawing distance.

[lilac coyote]

Why would render distance have any effect on spawn protection? And there are crops in Ashlands and presumably Deep North that you'll need to have farms in too.

[left oriole]

Ashlands crops can be farmed in plains.

Well I have about 2 Artisen tables overlapping a geyser, and when I'm far away from the geyser and walking up to it, the fire boys spawn once. Then once the tables render in they stop spawning. So yeah.

[lilac coyote]

OK, I'll just go then.

Why have you just not dug them out anyway?

[left oriole]

that question I don't get, but yeah it's hard to dig out an area and make it look nice, when it's this big, but small enough to kind of manage once everything is cut down and spawning is figured out. Thus why I did say island instead of archipelago.

[lilac coyote]

What didn't you get? Just dig out the geyser and they'll die the instant they spawn in.

[left oriole]

Oh that, yeah they die out instantly.... but they keep spawning even though they shouldn't be at all, cuz of the tables near by.

Thus why I'm confused with spawning, stuff keeps spawning even though there's spawn protection all over.

Unless the geyser counts as a spawner... which then I don't get if it does.... cuz I can sit there for 20 minutes and no more of them spawn.

and the spawn rate is 3 every 5 minutes.

[molten mountain]

is an iron sledgehammer worth it over an iron mace?

[left oriole]

do you like aoe damage? then yes

[steep tusk]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

[subtle parrot]

I made a stagbreaker once

[frail cave]

how do u ||enchant stuff||

[steep tusk]

Ashlands.

Build specific weapon.
Raid Ashlands fortress.
Hope fortress has the gem you want.
Upgrade said weapon with gem to enchant.
Repeat process for additional upgrades.

[stark dagger]

So Im going nuts. Big fishing buff in game, but for some reason, either ive got the worst luck, or im not understanding, but i cannot find swamp fish anywhere on the coast of the swamp

[echo sparrow]

they're hard as hell to see, but there, i found best luck fishing around the edge where the swamp meets ocean

[compact heath]

I wouldn't say over it, they both use the mace skill but they best looked at as almost completely different weapons which they are, different attack pattern and all, one is AoE 2H one is faster 1H weapon. Both are very useful and great to have as weapons in that Iron Age time

[coral wharf]

• Sledge is 90% a tool used to dmg mobs in dungeons through walls and doors, the 10% is when you try to use it when you get surrounded, so u start spamming it's attack and praying that the enemies run out of HP before you run out of stamina
• mace is a weapon class with good single target damage and decent crowd control - achieved by bigger knockback

[autumn loom]

for some reason my valheim is alot darker than my friends and i can hardly see in the ashlands, any tips to fix it?

[echo sparrow]

they should give it a quick secondary attack, maybe with decent knockback, similar to the battleaxe, to make it more viable as an actual weapon sub-class rather than a dungeon cheesing stick (which it does superlatively, but you're right it's speed makes it REALLLLLL tricky to use in real combat situations, where you don't just so outclass the enemy that you can just afford to facetank hits anyway)

[true steeple]

The secondary attack needs to be an even heavier attack

[echo sparrow]

pretty sure the settings has a brightness slider

[echo sparrow]

how would that help the viability of it in realistic combat (i.e. not hitting through a wall) scenarios?

[frosty frost]

Nope

[true steeple]

Think of how far it could launch a greyling

[echo sparrow]

lol okay I'm sold

[echo sparrow]

oh well, nevermind then--I could have sworn I saw someone talking about that in a youtube video, but tbf I haven't tried to adjust brightness myself

[frosty frost]

Yeah its one of the things that would be really nice to have 🙂

[autumn loom]

okay ive figured it out, theres no actual brightness slider but if you got into the graphics settings and tweak the amount of active light points itll help alot

[coral wharf]

Then let me cook:

• Give the sledgehammers the basic attack pattern similar/same to the combat axe with with the 3rd hit being the ground slam
• MMB becomes a spin - similar to polearms but slower and with less range maybe + maybe also 2-3 spins moving you a few steps in the direction it got casted

[verbal horizon]

How do loading saves work? My saves were weird so I tried to change it up a bit... now nearly all my old saves take me to the same place, and all my loot is gone.

[true steeple]

[livid badge]

if ur game is saved 7 mins ago and u alt a4 is it gonna be saved automatically?

[true steeple]

Alt f4 should save but I wouldn’t rely on it

[old karma]

can i share my server info for anybody wanting to start with me and my brother? 18+

[compact heath]

Yes, but in #1024264966712340510

[old karma]

thanks

[steel cradle]

bruh, my mind just got blown by this

357 hours in, do you know how much time this could have saved 🥹

[marble roost]

Found all three traders in a line. Time to figure out what this bogwitch is all about

Emojis are accurate. I do love Kvastur

[loud rapids]

I killed it multiple times for decorative brooms to hang places :)

[marble roost]

Rude!

I just got enough roots to make myself a root mask :)
No more hiding from blobs for me

Plus I know the location of another abomination so soon we'll get some sweeeeet pierce resist too

[keen zodiac]

What are those markings? Custom modded or vanilla? I haven't played for a long time 🙂

[marble roost]

I would assume its from some sort of seed viewer, maybe?

[coarse flax]

I'm sorry but your exploration path infuriates me XD

[marble roost]

How would you prefer it?

[coarse flax]

Oh I'm super ocd about it, I need to fill in every single bit

Even if I know there's nothing there lol

[marble roost]

fair

I'd probably have to delete the world if I did that lol 🤣 (Because I'm playing permadeath hard mode, currently at swamp stage, and most this area is plains :p )

[coarse flax]

Eesh

[winged solstice]

may i wish you plenty of sea serpents 🍻

[marble roost]

Man I could use some serpent meat

Most broken food at swamp stage

[bright yacht]

hi everyone, i'm looking for players to defeat yagluth 🙂

[compact heath]

Try #1024264966712340510 and make a post there. We just killed him on our Server a few days ago!

[coral wharf]

try placing a portal/roof tiles over it maybe - i managed to disable one geyser once on accident

• i intended to use it as a core farm so when it din't spawn anything i just moved my "portal camp" a little and it started workng again
• i think they started spawning as soon as i moved the portal away (at first i placed it very close in a tree hut, not above it but close) -> and moving it like 10-12 meters away to the net tree over allowed them to spawn again

[placid plaza]

Can I hide a hearth under a wooden floor?
I don't really want to change the look of my house for a new chimney and I was wondering if I could place a lit hearth beneath the floor

[cedar lodge]

i think so, but you'll need to dig a hole big enough to contain enough smoke otherwise it'll choke (no comfort points if it's not lit), also probably little smoke will show up from the floor tiles

[heavy forge]

Hello guys, i need help regarding my Valheim world. I created a dedicated Valheim server, i played on it for a while, but i started experiencing some lags. So i decided that i would like to play without using the dedicated server. Now the problem iam having is that a dont know how to extract the world with the progress that i made on the dedicated server. When i load the world, its the version before me playing on the dedicated server. Anyone know how to solve this?

[placid plaza]

Alr ty

[placid plaza]

Where is it hosted?

[heavy forge]

on my pc

[opaque barn]

what is the command for the greydwarf spawner?

[hollow oxide]

You can also leave your chimney as it is and make a hood over the new fireplace and it'll funnel it up the chimney

[stray mauve]

What's some good and very easily attainable health foods for mistlands?

[true steeple]

Before or after getting the cauldron improvement?

[stray mauve]

My cauldron is level 5

[true steeple]

Misthare supreme, meat platter and honey glazed chicken are all good, just make whatever you can afford.

[stray mauve]

Oh yeah, they look nice :D Thanks

[cedar lodge]

i consider chicken the "cheapest" because doesn't imply hunting hares nor seekers, wich forces you to keep in mistland's dangerous environement to get it

also serpent stew is still valid, having almost the same stats as meat platter and honey chicken (same hp and stam, 1hp less per tick)

[willow raft]

Fish 'n bread is also still viable. Great stamina food and viable up to ashlands where it is surpassed by 2 food items.

[cedar lodge]

uh sure but not the easiest to get, salad and omelette are slightly worse but entirely farmable

[naive latch]

Hares are easy to hunt most times since they scurry at the edge of Mistlands often

And to get a steady supply of the Mist Shrooms you need a farm or venture reasonably into the Mist anyway

[cedar lodge]

true, but somehow i still struggle a lot to get 'em (skill probably)

[willow raft]

True, I was lucky to have a fishing spot for them near my shroom farm.
if you get lucky like that they are a good source but then again takes time for just a few points.

[naive latch]

You'll get used to it, I used to hate trying to hunt them too

[willow raft]

I struggle as well till I get myself a staff of embers or set up a cul de sac for hares.

[naive latch]

Fish food in general is a bit tedious and non stable to obtain

[willow raft]

True but if you have a fishing spot where fish keep popping up it can certainly be worth it.

[naive latch]

You have to work up through the different baits and spend too much time fishing, and unlike other food that you get ingredients for when just passively exploring, you have to go out of your way to fish them

[cedar lodge]

yup, staff of ember works a lot, but still too early for me to be safe in mage clothes around mistlands (getting better though)

[naive latch]

Yea if you have a source it's best to just use the best stat total foods

Min maxxing on top

Seeker Aspic>

[cedar lodge]

fishing is hard indeed, but at least the bait for angler is made with lox trophy, not so hard

[naive latch]

That means going Lox Hunting when you could just go get progression done in Mines and get Royal Jelly and Shrooms on the way

[willow raft]

You just need the misty fishing bait which is regular bait + lox trophy, so no need for other bait.

[willow raft]

Most of the time I have a lox farm and some lox trophies anyway.

[naive latch]

I don't think it's a bad idea if it's what someone wants to do though, cuz if you want Fish n Bread there's nothing that makes Fish and Bread a bad idea

[naive latch]

Fair, I never tamed anything so yea

I just killed every Boar Wolf Lox and Askvin on sight

[willow raft]

You should have lox trophies as well then ^^

[naive latch]

I do, and I did use them to get the fishing achievement

But it isn't worth it on a staple food basis without a Lox farm

Especially since I cook for 5 ppl

Designated server chef

[placid plaza]

Appdata/LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim/

[willow raft]

Yeah, with that many people to feed going for fish n' bread isn't all that viable.
I only need to take care of max 2 people.

[naive latch]

Overall for early Mistlands usually I just used Plain Pies

[placid plaza]

copy the worldname.db and worldname.fwl

[naive latch]

They're easy to make and last long

Aside from those it was Lox Meat Pie and Blood Pudding

After going into Mist my food combo became Aspic, Hare Supreme and Salad

Forgot to make the Chicken farm for Omelettes

[coral wharf]

I usually go 1hp 2stam in mistlands - just too much jumping required
(Or 2 stam 1eitir for the "battlemage" hybrid)

[willow raft]

I do 2 eitr 1 stam full mage.

[cedar lodge]

how's your battlemage hybrid? trying to get into magic right now and exploring options

[willow raft]

I go full mage but I do sometimes carry a bow and arrows or dagger + bucker as backup plans.

[cedar lodge]

(got access to all mistland-tier food and equipment)

[coral wharf]

• Staff of protection - main deff + ability to parry anything you want without a shield
• Weapon of choice (usually the sword... - most versatile imo)
• armour - 1 piece fenris 1 piece mage, helmet - either biome specific, or mage (fenris works too)
• food 1 Eitir , 1 stam , 1 stam/feast

1 Eitir is enough as my way for battlemage relies mostly on movement and dodgerolls - bubble just allows you extra freedtom to press the attack more

And then I like to carry the fire staff too: helps with large groups of enemies

[coral wharf]

Whenever I go mage I just carry a club - frostner, so when shit hits the fan and I have no Eitir I can always MMB my way out xd

[cedar lodge]

nice thanks, experimenting some fenris-eitr weave mix myself, a bit "glass cannon" but it could be done

[coral wharf]

Or for food after u kill fader:
Mistlands feast + Ashlands feast + stam/Eitir/plains feast works great too!

[placid urchin]

do iron torches get extinguished in the rain ?

[cedar lodge]

Nope, just the things that give fire buff, except for bonefire

[naive latch]

I mean, for post Fader it's best to use one of Piquant Pie, Crust Pie, or Marinated Greens with the 2 Feasts

[placid urchin]

awesome thanks

[naive latch]

If Deep North has Frost + Poison Res enemies, bows might be absolutely useless there

[gilded ridge]

What if dev add ship that equiped with ice breaker from flametal because too much ice floe and glacier

[coral wharf]

Oh, might be the first biome where the beloved frostner won't perform too well 😂

[lilac coyote]

That's been my prediction for a while.

[simple jewel]

how can i make a fire inside?

i cant place a fire on wood floor tiles, but i need one next to my bed

[true steeple]

In the third biome you can get stone floors to place fires off the ground. For now, keep your bed on the bottom floor.

[simple jewel]

what are like the exact rules for placing a fire?

[real nebula]

you can place fires on terrain

if your bed is off the ground floor, a fire outside right next to it could be close enough to sleep with

[simple jewel]

would it work if i made a little like 1 tile chimney attached to the side of my house

[real nebula]

it should work, yeah

[left oriole]

It's from the interactive map website, it's where I find seeds. It's where I found the seed I'm working on. So thse flame is a geyser, the purple archs are sunken crypts, and the other one is a goblin tower. It's where I'm trying to claim for making a massive base.

[left oriole]

Well the thing is I don't want them spawning at all, but when ever I'm far away and go walking towards it, they spawn once then never spawn again. So the idea of using the geyser as part of the build makes it impossible if rendering can't stop stuff from spawning 100%

[coral wharf]

Well when I had my farm they wouldn't spawn whenever I teleported in, nor when I sat there and waited
(And I found a spot with 2 geysers then, and the one further from portal would spawn them whenever I teleported in and when I sat there)

I'm not sure if u ever walked out and back from render enough to spawn them there 🤔 but I must have had as I was also sailing around collecting iron and stuff all aroun

[simple jewel]

is there any way to make a raft or get a raft without a workbench?

[frosty frost]

Nope

[simple jewel]

my house is not near the water lol, if i make it at home can i carry it?

[frosty frost]

Why not make another workbench near water?

[simple jewel]

oooh right i dont need the roof for the raft

[frosty frost]

Yep 😄

[simple jewel]

how many deer trophies or whatever do i need for the first summon thing? and what kind of gear do i need? my workbench is still level 1 and i havent been able to get out of the meadows yet so i dont have the ability to make much

[frosty frost]

2

[lilac coyote]

You don't need to leave Meadows to kill the Meadows boss.

[marble roost]

You don't need too much. Just a flint weapon or a bow, maybe some deer armor but that's not too important

Just make sure to eat some boar and deer meat, and then maybe a piece of honey. Food is super important

[simple jewel]

is deer armor the rag trousers? i have those and rag tunic and all the stone/wood weapons, should i make a flint axe or spear? i havent found much flint yet, only like 10 or so

[frosty frost]

Leather clothes are better than rag 🙂

And flit stuff is better than stone

[simple jewel]

do i need to like combine leather scraps somehow? i dont see any way to do that

[frosty frost]

Nope, go hunt some deer

[marble roost]

If you already have rag armor I wouldn't worry about getting leather (deer)

[frosty frost]

It is not necesary 🙂 but certainly cant hurt to get as much armor as you can as a new player

[simple jewel]

oh i have like 25 deer skins, but i barely have any leather scraps. where do the scraps come from?

[frosty frost]

Boars

[coral wharf]

Go for a stroll on the shore or next to a river 😉

[placid urchin]

What’s are the best food I can use for bonemass?

[sleek herald]

Technically health would be serpent stew

[frosty frost]

Sausages, turnip stew, black soup and muckshake
Sausages and black soup hp
Turnip stew and muckshake stamina

[simple jewel]

is it possible to dive in water?

i dont see anything for that in the settings menu

[subtle parrot]

Build a tower and jump in

[placid urchin]

Thanks

[marble roost]

not really

[sleek herald]

Mod it

[simple jewel]

will i die if i run out of stamina swimming? i am trying to swim across this ocean or river thing in the south of the meadows

[sleek herald]

You lose health at a decent pace, then you die

It's a % damage, so health food is even less useful than you think for it

[subtle parrot]

5%/second iirc

[barren yarrow]

Server my brother made won't show up when I put the invite code in, he has computer I have xbox

[ebon marsh]

Has he enabled cross play when starting the world up

[lilac coyote]

He wouldn't have an invite code otherwise.

[barren yarrow]

He does, still not working

[drowsy crane]

Does he have a VPN on?

[barren yarrow]

No

[subtle parrot]

Won't show up? Are you searching for the server with the invite code?

[barren yarrow]

We found a work around. Made it community,joined,log out, re join not as a community server

[honest cedar]

guys my viking is too relaxed, send help

[placid urchin]

i planted some turnips but why do the timer vary so much ? some have a 10mins difference

[lilac coyote]

It takes between 4000s and 5000s

[coral wharf]

I like planting my crops far away "over the portal"

• the mobs don't damage them outside render range - no need for walls and stuff
• you don't see how slow they grow, just go there after some time (usually way too long cuz u forgot) and pop everything is ready!

[placid urchin]

considering doing that just for the second point lol, tho i like having them in my base for now

[jade olive]

Ok I need somebody in the know of the map table. So me and my friend are having trouble on our map clean up. We learned that last person to use the table has their info in the box. We make sure we delete the same things. But when I record the changes to the box not everything is deleted. On my map some of the items returns when I record to the box. When they record the map they get all the changes we wanted. If they record to the box and then I take a copy then everything comes out the way we did it. In the past we had to click the table a few times for us to get a copy with all the new markers. This sounds like I have a glitch possibly. Or in order to have all the changes do we all ways need both of us to record to the map? Is there a limit on how much we can do at once? How dose this table really work? Thanks all.

[marble roost]

I can't answer all of those questions, but my go-to solution:

Don't use the map table

[coral wharf]

I say:
One of you should keep and create all the markers and make - remove the grey ones and create his own. And the other one should remove all of his then
And then the guy that is "the cartographer" - created the marks should record them
I think that should clean that up... 🤔

[jade olive]

Well thats what we're trying to do. I am going to be the map maker. But it's odd they don't have the markers that come back when I use the box. We only luck out when they write to the box and over ride my last use. You can all ways click on the gray marks to make it your own. And if someone marked a spot if you click the exact spot as they use thier ping on the map it will show up on your map as yours when you click it.

[topaz obsidian]

hey guys. so i grew these turnips and have no idea how to pick them

[lilac coyote]

Once they're grown you should just be able to press E on them to harvest them.

[sullen breach]

just click E on computer or X for xbox on the crops

[topaz obsidian]

oh....guess they aren't grown yet then. thanks! Also, anyone know when i'll get my frist upgrade for my crockpot? I haven't unlocked a single swamp recipe yet

[sullen breach]

you need to make a spice rack, which you need turnips for

and carrots

[mellow yarrow]

are the lakes inside frost caves supposed to be frozen?

[sullen breach]

sometimes

[mellow yarrow]

does that mean i cant fish on it?

[sullen breach]

there can be times when they are unfrozen, where you can fish

I think they are the rarest fish in the game

[subtle parrot]

There a small ponds in some caves with fish in them, frozen lakes are not what you're looking for unless you're looking for the fishing rod which can occasionally be found at one of the frozen lakes

Usually you'll find haldor and be able to buy one easily before then though

[tough hare]

[gilded ridge]

are tetra rarest fish in the game?

[short cosmos]

I think the wiki has info on that

[gilded ridge]

damn, i found tetra in the cave (probably ulf stash them for food) and turn them to fish wrap🗿

[coarse relic]

question, does copper deposits and gravity still make it explode?

[jolly rock]

really funny bug ive found that im actually not sure if its a bug

sometimes my inventory stops working correctly and im not able to click on some of the stuff in there

but THE VERY MOMENT i pull out gyazo to start recording the bug, it starts working again

amazing, but annoying, because i dont remember my shortcut button for gyazo and ive to open the program manually every time i need to fix it

[jagged crown]

Computer had a weird long crash (game was still making sound in the BG) during which I died (obv.). When i loaded back I had a death marker on the map but the ground that I had dug up was back and there was no tombstone

I had a full max level iron panoply and it would be really annoying to farm iron all over again, how do I make the tombstone appear?

[desert monolith]

you might need to reload an old save of your character. Or if it is single player, perhaps devcommand spawn the iron in. Otherwise you might be out of luck

[desert monolith]

do you have any mods?

And/or do you run Discord? Discord has an annoying bug that the in-game screen overlay can stop the top two layers of your inventory from working

[jolly rock]

yeah turns out it was discord overlay

[sullen breach]

I think they are

[jagged crown]

Seems char restore is the way to go.

[desert monolith]

yeah - its an annoying bug with Discord...

[jade olive]

It could be possable your tombstone is underground where you died. But due to the crash the save didn't fully take effect in saving the land as it was but befor you made the hole. Worth a shot to see?

[jagged crown]

Yeah I thought that too, but I dug the entire area down a second time and there was no tombstone

and the silver vein was back too

[jade olive]

Aww that sucks

[jagged crown]

I would assume the tombstone is part of the map, so since the map wasn't saved, as evidenced by the ground being back on level, then of course the tombstone would be missing too.

I just reverted my character anyways.

[jade olive]

Did you still have a map marker?

[jagged crown]

Yes

Oh you mean after the revert? I didn't pay attention.

I think not, my nearby marker for an egg was gone

[icy patrol]

whats the best way to fight bonemass

cause he rocked my shit made me dizzy through the screen

[small crater]

So this isn't necessarily an issue but I am quite curious about it on my Xbox valheim has the symbol that usually dictates a game is unplayable like when you're playing a game through game pass and it runs out before you can pay but valheim isn't on game pass and I've owned it for well over a year also game pass is covered

[wide lily]

I think that i know the answer, but before i sabotage myself i wanted to ask here 🤣 Do Fuling villages (or the Fulings that spawn there) respawn? I found a village that is in a really nice spot to build in and i would like to destroy the village to put my base there. Would this be safe or do i run risk of the Fulings respawning in my base? 🤣

[true steeple]

Fulings do not respawn in their villages

[wide lily]

Ait! Thank you for the quick answer! 😄

[tired root]

If you want your base have constant warfare music then go ahead.

[coarse relic]

^ 🙏

[true steeple]

This hasn’t changed, it still works

[wide lily]

I am not sure whether you're referring to the actual music or the fact that plains can be a pain in the a** sometimes, i do play without the music 😅

[tired root]

In fuling settlements (villages and towers) there is constantly playing a certain theme that takes over from other music in game.

But then another question: how could one play without hearing the own music of the game??

[wide lily]

Gotcha, gotcha! I played with music for a longer time, but at some point i wanted to listen to spotify while doing monotone farming (Or watch something on the side) and while i love the in-game music, i just never went back to it 😅 Please dont kill me

But does the music really keep playing if you destroy literally everything in that village? 👀

[true steeple]

Yes, the music is played by an invisible, indestructible object with no collision

[compact heath]

I play with music and youtube and sometimes also discord voice 😛

and then I don't hear 2* gjall sometimes and die 😭

[wide lily]

Once upon a time i was able to do this, but for the past few years i just get overstimulated too easy xD

[tired root]

Nah, shaming one for that should be enough.

||Jk, do what you want to. ||

[wide lily]

If it makes it any better, i did buy the soundtrack 😅

[tired root]

I have too, but it can be also found in Spotify. 👌

But at least have the courtesy to keep the ingame music on when you eventually sail into ||Ashlands||.

[wide lily]

I'll turn it on

[cold crater]

I noticed corewood also wither away with the rain, does the tar wood beam also wither?

[buoyant peak]

No

[cold crater]

Awesome thanks

[digital mortar]

is this the correct way to do bracing for a second floor there is still a lot of red on my beams will it all stabilize when i get it all connected?

[frosty frost]

It would be best to put few columns near the middle if you want more stability, of use iron wood beams

[digital mortar]

Would iron guve me green all the way with center pillars?

[frosty frost]

Probably, and it would allow you to get much more stability for normal wood pieces even when far from ptper"ground" point

[digital mortar]

Well those pillars are connected to ground

Dang the amount of iron tho 😭

[teal stump]

Anybody here experienced with server logs and can help me out?

[coral wharf]

iron beams can support themselves (and wood structures) up to >20 meters away (i's sth like 22-24 i think - i might also mistake meters for pieces, one piece has 2meters -> anyaway with iron beams u can make huge floors without the need to build supporting pillars)

[coral wharf]

ye it'll require some but bcs of how big of the support ammount they add - u don't need to make a grid this thick, placing those support beams (vertical inside ur wall and horizontal in ur floor) once per 3-4 tiles (6-8 meters) should be enough

in the screenshot u posted 1 cross in the middle could actually be enough (and 2 placed evenly will be enough for sure)

[scarlet flame]

anyone experiencing steam save down and not seeing thier character when they log in?

[tired root]

Oh, I didn't realise your building was that large.. Corewood might not be able to support that large building with ease at least, iron poles are more stable for supports.

[somber crag]

hi, i need some help, there was just an update and now my character has been removed 😦

[scarlet flame]

I have the same problem!

[somber crag]

can someone please help?

i have done so much progress, i really dont want to lose it

[scarlet flame]

is it a steamcloud issue? my character folder only has steam_autocloud.vdf

[dire crescent]

me and my friend were just playing together and now we are both experiencing the same issue with characters and worlds not there anymore. it seems to be an issue with the cloud saves

[scarlet flame]

This is from "C:\Users%username%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim"

[somber crag]

oh no 😦

[tired root]

Reading from https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220 might be problem with steam could save. Have you looked from "manage saves"?

[somber crag]

yes its not there

[dire crescent]

nothing is listed under manage saves

[tired root]

Are worlds still there or not?

[somber crag]

my world is still there, im just missing my character

[scarlet flame]

Edit: worlds are there. I was mistaken.

[dire crescent]

all my characters and worlds are gone. and nothing is listed under manage saves

[scarlet flame]

C:\Users%username%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

[eternal yoke]

"steam cloud status" for valheim seems to be missing from view in the Steam Library.

im guessing the steam cloud is down for Val

[long sinew]

I have the same problem. My worlds and my characters were deleted. Just 12 hours ago everything was fine

[scarlet flame]

Yeah I think its steamcloud

Lesson learned, I should be using local file as well

[somber crag]

there was an update this morning, after that is when my character disappeared

[scarlet flame]

I assumed it would make a cloud backup and keep a local copy of character.

[tired root]

Yeah, I recommed moving everything to local saves.

[long sinew]

My friend says he has cloud saves turned off, is this really Steam Cloud?

[somber crag]

ok but is there a way to recover the characters?

[scarlet flame]

I think when steam cloud is recovered

[somber crag]

cause before the update everything was fine

[tough nest]

same thing here! I lost all my worlds and characters, and I don't have the option to save in steamcloud

[eternal yoke]

if it was a local character you can find it by clicking "show player log" at main menu

[scarlet flame]

Our character files are on steam servers. And they seem to be having an issue. They will have backups, just looks like an outage.

[eternal yoke]

they will be *.old files in the 'character' folder

[somber crag]

this is all thats there

[old sleet]

goes the same with me. I just logged off then came back it all disappeared

[eternal yoke]

check the "manage saves" button at character select? might be under "deleted"

[somber crag]

its not. it completely disappeared

[maiden flicker]

Can confirm, my character is gone too

[dreamy imp]

is this channel blowing up because everyone has lost their worlds and characters to?

[somber crag]

yes

[scarlet flame]

Does anyone else NOT see the cloud toggle here?

[dreamy imp]

hmmm fun 😦

[maiden flicker]

Mine was there 5 mins ago

[old sleet]

yes.

[eternal yoke]

yeah the steam cloud options and text for valheim are gone atm

[scarlet flame]

Any other games having steam cloud issues?

[tired root]

Maybe you should continue in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220

[scarlet flame]

Yeah lets move there. Agreed.

[tired root]

Apparently cloud issue.

[long sinew]

me

[dreamy imp]

i have some old characters and worlds but my current save has also vanished

[fickle briar]

The same here

[buoyant notch]

im having the same problem :(

[bright crest]

Hi, all my charcters and saves have vanished since last night? Wtf??

[woeful kettle]

Same here man i wanted to play after 3 days and everything is now gone...

[ornate finch]

Just wait half an hour or so then restart you game and everything should be fine. There are some known issues with Steam Cloud for Valheim. Saves are not visible because Steam Cloud has been disabled by mistake. Should be fixes asap.

[woeful kettle]

Ok, Thx for helping!

[weary nebula]

What are you basing that on?

[ornate finch]

Based on facts and what Devs said.

[bright crest]

Also, about a week ago, a friend joined my server and his character froze and he had to log in again. When the character woke up again ALL is kit was gone!

[ebon marsh]

Uhhh so i load up the game today and all my characters and worlds are gone other than the ones from 3 years ago

[scarlet flame]

Mods might want to pin something. There is some sort of steam cloud issue.

[ebon marsh]

okay so im not the only one

[scarlet flame]

They should be back online soon. I would just wait until fix goes out.

[cursive musk]

how long is it happening more or less?

[scarlet flame]

Or steam works on outage.

[ornate finch]

Steam Cloud should be operational now. Everyone you can restart steam and check.

[scarlet flame]

how long is a piece of string.

[ebon marsh]

for future how can i avoid this happening and have my characters and worlds saved to my pc instead?

[scarlet flame]

Where are you getting this info? is there a channel we can join?

[bright crest]

I just restarted my steamaccount and it fixed my problems... i hope

[ebon marsh]

okay restarting steam fixed the issue for me

in manage saves there is the option to change your characters and worlds form cloud save to local save

[tranquil turret]

was the cloud issue a steam issue or valheim issue?

[cursive musk]

okay now is working thanks guys

[ebon marsh]

Definitely seems like a steam issue

[tired root]

Move from cloud to local. I've never had issues with local saves.

[ebon marsh]

Yeah gonna keep my main worlds on that from now on

[ornate finch]

You can accurate info in #steam-bugs-discussion from me or @lapis terrace

[scarlet flame]

Oh you work for the game! My bad! Your name is white on my discord.

[ornate finch]

Well you would be surprised how many players move their files to Local, forgot about it and buy new PC or hard, while forgetting to transfer saves then. A couple of such reports per day.

[lapis terrace]

MaCarBre is'nt a developer in the sence

[scarlet flame]

I see, I appreciate all the work yall do!

[tired root]

Yeah probably something to remember if one is planning to upgrade their hardware.

[lilac coyote]

Make him green, he deserves it.

[lapis terrace]

No

[weary nebula]

What facts?

[lilac coyote]

Aw.

[lapis terrace]

That comes with chores he doesn't handle

[lapis terrace]

A option was missed in a little update

[buoyant peak]

The fact that people keep reporting the issue?

[lapis terrace]

Because you might need to cycle your steam logout/ login

[jovial lion]

Just make a back-up

[versed jackal]

Hello, i was building something in a world to give myself a little rgp and once i was done building i want to play on my world as normal but while building i used the setkey staminarate 0 command and im not sure how to reverse it ive tried setting it to 1 and nothing i do gives me normal stamina drain please help

[lilac coyote]

Most global keys work on percentages so 100 would be normal.

[versed jackal]

okay ill try that thank you

that did not work

[frosty frost]

It should tho 🤔

[versed jackal]

yea it makes sense why it should work but idk let me mess around a bit

what does the command movestaminarate do?

i got it idk why it was being difficult thank you guys for your help

[worn ether]

hi, there is a way to play in my friend's server when he isnt connected?

[lilac coyote]

You'll have to set up a dedicated server.

[worn ether]

how can i do it? i'll have to pay the service?

[buoyant peak]

No

#dedicated-server

[lilac coyote]

If you have a machine you can leave on you can set up your own. Or yes, you can rent one.

[worn ether]

thanks

[winter hatch]

im trying to just play a world with one of my friends and we want to use cheats to just build stuff how do i make it so he can use debugmode to fly and have no cost building

[frosty frost]

Unfortunately you cant give devcommands to any other player, you can make them admin but that will not enable them to use fly or other cheat commands, you can enable no cost building in world modifiers tho.

[cold crater]

What additional permissions to admins get then?

[frosty frost]

That will not automaticaly unlock all recepies tho, so they should go in with a character that already unlocked everything or you would have to drop them the materials needed for certain things they dont yet have

[frosty frost]

Commands like kick, ban....

You can look here 🙂 https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Admin_commands

[queen pulsar]

Hey y'all, are oak trees the best trees to farm wood & finewood from, or is there a better tree?

[frosty frost]

Oaks are the best since they actually have average drop rate of more than 1 acorn, birch has less

[queen pulsar]

so if I were to farm a cart load or two of wood for burning, oak would be the best to farm?

[frosty frost]

Why would you farm finewood for burning?

[echo sparrow]

oak produces tons of regular wood too

[queen pulsar]

^

[echo sparrow]

but the most efficient way is to probably just plant, cut down, and replant rows of beech

(the most basic tree, because it reliably drops plentiful seeds in addition to the wood)

[queen pulsar]

but beech doesnt give as mush wood

[frosty frost]

Ah, i focused on the finewood a bit much so i thought that was the only thing in original question xD sorry

But you also chop it faster and it has better drop rate of seeds

[queen pulsar]

taking into account time to chop down the trees, is it more efficient to farm oak or beech?

cause I need alot, like over a thousand

[frosty frost]

No idea, never actually measured it. Just go to dense forrest and chop chop chop 🙂

[queen pulsar]

well in that case, isnt the black forest more dense than meadows with trees?

[frosty frost]

Can be, we once summoned 2 elders with a friend of mine that helped us chop everything around the altar 🙂

But i think you are worrying too much over nothing really 🙂 if you go a forest, meadows or BF, and you chop few hundered trees down you will get enough wood pretty soon

[queen pulsar]

I think I will try that boss summon strat

or find a troll lmao

[frosty frost]

Sure 🙂 you just have to be a bit carefull if you are not in really good gear

[echo sparrow]

still probably beech, UNLESS you have tons of oak acorns to start a farm, the oaks are just too far apart to just ignore other trees and focus on them, if you're going for max efficiency

don't forget you can go the main menu, turn up the resource drop rate to make each tree give more/as much wood as possible, log in and do your logging, log back out and return the resource rate to normal, then log back in and go about your day

[knotty kettle]

Does the bloodstone effect increase the chop damage on berserker axes or only their slash dmg?

[placid urchin]

just got to the mountains, are obsidian arrows worth it or not ? otherwise which ones should i use

[plain thicket]

yes its easy to get obsidian and its got good dmg

[echo sparrow]

I think they're not bad use for obsidian since don't think any other recurring use for em, and it's damage is a decent upgrade from wood and other than wood not many other options that don't require metal

[placid urchin]

alright thanks!

[coral wharf]

Just add some freeze glands for frost arrows!

Much better agains most of the mobs

But plain obsidian are decent too

[placid urchin]

wouldnt drake and wolfs be resistant to them ? tho ill keep that in mind for later

[coral wharf]

Wolfes surprisingly are NOT
Drakes - can't tell they might be - but they have low HP and using plain wood ones for drakes is better for the resource efficiency I think

[pliant briar]

does silver armor even exist? or did i just didnt unlock something?

[placid urchin]

oh thats surprising
ill try out wood arrows for drakes then thank you

[coral wharf]

It does exist, Ur probably missing a piece - I think I can guess which one but I don't want to spoiler it

Or maybe ur forge upgrade level is too low ?

[pliant briar]

if u dont spoil it, ill go read it at valheim wiki anyway

[coral wharf]

Have u got a wolf trophy? Drake trophy? Chains?

[pliant briar]

i only dont have drake trophy

[coral wharf]

Then maybe ur forge lvl is too low?

[pliant briar]

maybe, ill go check

[coral wharf]

(Drake trophy Is required for the helmet)

[pliant briar]

i have 4th level

[coral wharf]

U should see the trousers and the chestpiece then

[cold crater]

this hurts me, why is the center of the spiral stair not in the center?

[jade olive]

You missed the snap point is all and now it's all off. Just need to redo it and go slow and it will snap right. Remember tapping e will cycle threw the snap points.

[cold crater]

But it did snap every time

[frosty frost]

Yeah, their snappoints do not allow perfect columns

Unless you stack them in the exact same orientation but at that point they do not function as stairs

[jade olive]

There are several diffrent snap points on the stairs. I had the same thing on mine but for some reason it went to the side, but I fixed it. When you cycle threw the snap points make sure it's on Auto or center. If you have it set on something else it can mess up your alignment. I think that's what happened.

[faint shale]

is valheim better with a controller? wanted to start pplaying it using my xbox controller js wondering if it is viable or not

[short cosmos]

it may be more fun & relaxing but up to u since its not a pvp game it shouldnt matter what input you are using

[true steeple]

Generally the controller support is good but there are some downsides such as not being able to move while the inventory is open and also all movement inputs are ignored while holding the secondary attack button for some reason

[livid badge]

any good samaritan has extra 2 irons for my house

is trading allowed here?

[sturdy folio]

It'd be much faster going and collecting 2 more iron than waiting for someone to reply, join their world and be given some

Ofc I may be wrong on that.

[livid badge]

can they kill me even if i have off friendly fire on?

[sturdy folio]

who? players?

[livid badge]

yeah

[ebon marsh]

Owner of the world can with kill commands right

[livid badge]

ggs, changed my mind

[ebon marsh]

Go in naked lol

[sturdy folio]

I don't believe so. iirc both parties have to have friendly fire off to enable pvp

[livid badge]

I need gears to collect iron, cause its gnna be swamp anw

[tough hare]

May even be faster to spawn it in using dev-commands

[sturdy folio]

ah yep, completetely forgot about dev commands

[livid badge]

[short cosmos]

[tough hare]

Defeat the first boss and you get the tool to collect copper and tin.
With that you can create a forge - and lots of other things - which will be helpful to get better tools to get iron eventually.

[livid badge]

I'm already on swamp stage, I just need 2 iron for stonecutter for this, ig for now ill just drop campfires

I dropped all my time in house-building rather than adventuring lol

[tough hare]

If you're already at swamp stage, getting iron is easy. Just enter a sunken crypt, mine a muddy scrap pile and you get enough iron for a stonecutter.
If you're lucky and get a chest in one of the first rooms, you may even have more iron as you need right now.

[livid badge]

I had trauma dropping portal in swamps, ill wait for my duo tonight to farm with him

[tough hare]

Drop them on top of a crypt, or if you don't want to do that, in a safe (meadows / Black Forest) biome's building nearby.

[livid badge]

its already good, dropped it on one of those tall hut

all I need todo is gather woods and build a tree house in swamps so that we can conquer that land

[icy patrol]

Do I need to water the crops

[frosty frost]

Nope

[icy patrol]

Nice. So I just build a fence so animals can’t damage them right

[frosty frost]

Yep

[icy patrol]

Ty Ty. Finally got turnips since my last batch got eaten cause I didnt know I needed to fence them in

[frosty frost]

Ooof, that sucks

[icy patrol]

yh

[vapid warren]

make sure its spawned proofed so mobs cant spawn inside

[icy patrol]

💀 huh

How do I do do that

[frosty frost]

With workbench or campfire for example, both have radius of 20 meters around them that no enemies can spawn in, same for most other player base structures

[tough hare]

Make sure your farm is within the circle of a workbench.
Or place torches along the edges.

[icy patrol]

Oh ok mine is already whew

[icy patrol]

a level two iron mace enough to send bone mass back to odin ?

[coral wharf]

The other way is to keep them outside render distance (just far away, on another island ideally) - and then just travel through a portal - crops still grow outside render distance, but mobs don't exist there 🤷

[coral wharf]

Should be if u Play it smart

[icy patrol]

ty ty

[coral wharf]

Just do not stay in his puke...

The dmg will stack up

[icy patrol]

gotcha. and should i ferment my meads

[coral wharf]

You will feel safe as the initial poison hits won't do a lot, but it will stack up and u will realise it's too late when... It's too late xd

I know as I did exactly that on my 1st try

[icy patrol]

ah man. also i am dumb it does say to ferment it first

[coral wharf]

I meat - felt safe in his puke as "I have poison resist I should be able to tank it"... But I was wrong, very wrong xd - bcs the damage gets higher every second as you inhale more poison and even with that 50%res it will kill you

[icy patrol]

oh naw

no wonder everyone was like watch your stamina

[coral wharf]

Oh yes that's the main combat mechanic in valheim, stamina is life

(I do have that one friend who is always going shift+W and swinging left click wayyy to much - aand then he complains that the game is too hard 😂, and plays mostly bows hiding behind my back xd)

[granite loom]

i accidentally launched my weapon with a catapult... did it explode on impact? i can't seem to locate it :/

[charred fable]

Sadly, it's destroyed. Been there.

[night siren]

This is me to a tee, love hiding behind my skilled friends with my nooby 🏹 skills

[young ivy]

Looking for a way to make it where only admins can build portals?

[desert monolith]

Only going to be doable via mods. Have a chat in mods channel.

[mellow yarrow]

is iti fine to not wall off my farm in the plains?

[short cosmos]

yea depending on where it is

[mellow yarrow]

relatively safe spot on a peniusula

[agile crown]

I always build farms far from the main base, you can just portal away and come back later without worrying about them being attacked

Only issue would be if a raid triggers while youre there

[mellow yarrow]

if one parent lox is 2 stars and one isnt will the child inheret the stars or is it a chance

[agile crown]

Iirc its 50/50 from either parent

[short cosmos]

2 star loxes also don't spawn naturally 😉

[gilded ridge]

are ashland always like this?

when i'm trying to land the weather change like smokestrom

[tired root]

No, it is just one weather effect that can happen there.

[gilded ridge]

well i guess i can't continue my journey to ashland

[tired root]

Seems also like it's night time. You might want to try establish a portal near shore on top of one of those spires and try entering again during daytime.

[sour quiver]

Is it a good idea to skip the copper armour set and keep the troll armour?

Got the improved version of the troll armour

[cedar lodge]

always found troll armor better and changed it in later biomes skipping bronze armor, but it depends on playstyle

[sour quiver]

Oke

Cuz im just too lazy to grind for the new set

[cedar lodge]

maybe just the helmet for more protection without movement speed malus

[sour quiver]

Lose the set bonus though

[cedar lodge]

(sacrificing thus the set bonus of course, so never really used that setup myself)

[frosty frost]

Well the sneak bonus is nice if you have it but you dont really miss it when you dont 🙂

[sour quiver]

True

But my fav weapon rn is abysall dagger

So it works pretty well together

[cedar lodge]

yeh not very useful in bossfight nor in dungeons, also true that the armor bonus that bronze helm gives is not that big difference, but you know, to be at max you possibly can and stuff...

[frosty frost]

Oh then it is indeed quite useful 🙂 if you are fine with playing in full troll armor then i would not make another piece. I also use full troll before and in swamp since i just dont like mismatching armor pieces 😄

[cedar lodge]

oh yes, that's why i died a lot yesterday, maxed the ||carapace set|| , left home the ||root harnesk||, because c'mon it's the best possible tanky armor i don't need to mix sets anymore...

[frosty frost]

Oooof.

[delicate condor]

is there way to find a tiny Mistlands islands with cultivable terrain like it often happens with other biomes before that?
or it's impossible due to how Mistland layout is structured?

[frosty frost]

I think it should be possible, but not really sure how common it is

[delicate condor]

upgrading pickaxe only impact weapon durability or also the power with wich ores and stuff is broken?

like if I upgrade my black metal pickaxe, do I destroy ancient armor faster?

[minor zephyr]

hey guys i did play valheim in 2022 from xboxgame pass but i bought thegame yesterday to play with my friends but i couldnt connect to server not for that server any server in the game aswell can someone help me fix it ?

[wraith kayak]

hey guys, me and my duo are finding the ashlands quite tricky, does anyone have any tips for how to handle the ashlands

[frosty frost]

It does more pickaxe dmg and it enables you do mine some new stuff you couldnt with iron pick

[delicate condor]

yeah no sorry I mean if I upgrade the black metal pickaxe, not changing from iron to black metal, but upgrading the pickaxe itself

[frosty frost]

I think you actually need gamepass to play online? Not too sure, not a xbox player myself just heard that from someone.

[frosty frost]

Oh, then thats just durability and dmg, yeah

[minor zephyr]

yea but gamepass does not give valheim anymore

thats why i bought the game frrom microsoft and also steam

[frosty frost]

I know, i really dont know how it works on xbox, sorry

[short cosmos]

impossible

[frosty frost]

If you have it in steam then you should be able to normally play with others 🤔

[short cosmos]

all the little islands u can find are all made of stone

[delicate condor]

😢

[short cosmos]

yea I tried searching for a small island for a farm my first playthrough and couldnt find one so I had to just find the edge of a main mistlands landmass and build walls around it for the farm

[delicate condor]

I see

walls made of stone?

[short cosmos]

ye and normal walls too

had to make it atleast look somewhat nice

[frosty frost]

While it is rare it can happen, usually on borders with other biomes.

if i would go few meters to the left of this patch of farmalnd there is technically a black forest, but the cultivated area is still in mistlands and thus can produce mushrooms

or here, border with ocean

So @delicate condor , if you want some of the little islands to make a fully spawnproofed farm look around the absolute edges of mistlands 🙂

[delicate condor]

tysm Asa!

[frosty frost]

It will most likely not be a very big farm unfortunately

[delicate condor]

are dual wield daggers a good option to kill the queen with?

[frosty frost]

There are better options but it certainly can be done 🙂

[delicate condor]

how can I find/spot mistlands dungeons?
they are so crazy hard to find

[tough hare]

Look for the blue lanterns. Often the entrances of the infested mines have those near them.
Also, check out any tower like building you see.

[gilded ridge]

Usually if you spot blue latern with seeker guard it. Sometime if you lucky you meet some seeker and if you wandering around there will be dungeons

[delicate condor]

Blast Furnaces dont process Iron and below??????

😱

[gilded ridge]

yes

[small nest]

you can also check the coastline of the biome, theres a high chance that you'll find some staircases + dvergr outposts

[slate flint]

hey guys, i have a dedicated server and i cant use portals while im in a raid, is there a devcommand to enable portals?

[small nest]

it seems that the other side of the portal got destroyed/ or is not connected

you cant use devcommands on multiplayer, from what i know

raids also dont disable the portals\

[slate flint]

ew i mean boss, sry im not english native xd
so both portals we have in our base are connected but it "is blocked by an evil power"

but we playin multiplayer, yea, maybe thats an issue for the commands?

[frosty frost]

The no boss portals modifier is enabled it seems

[small nest]

me neither. so when you create a server, you can choose its settings, one of them is "disable portals while boss is alive"

[slate flint]

can i change it when the server is created?

[small nest]

at every moment you can

as long as you're the creator of the server

[slate flint]

phew, our server running on a rasperry pie, we cant go into the server settings

[small nest]

i don't know if you're doing this already, but the server settings are in the server selection in main menu, when you choose the server, you can change its settings somewhere below

[slate flint]

this is the window from our server, no setting to change smth

[small nest]

ahh, now i see. on dedicated servers, you can't change the settings of it

only on hosting servers (the 1st tab)

[pliant briar]

did they deleted that ore breaks when floating? it floats for sure but doesnt break

[small nest]

i never owned dedicated servers, so i don't know much about them, thats all i know

[slate flint]

yea, i asked in dedicated servers, too, but my post here was earlier haha xd but ty !

[small nest]

dig around them more, they have this "stability" when something stable like ground is around 3m from them

or generated rocks, other nodes, trees etc.

[pliant briar]

it IS floating

i dug a whole crater for it

[verbal horizon]

Currently very early game, trying to excavate some copper. The issue is there are 2 wolves that occasionally come and two tap me. I dont think I have a strong enough shield to parry and I cant get the copper like this. Any ways Someone could think to get rid of them other than outright combat?

[pliant briar]

raise the ground with hoe and kill em with a bow or just find a new copper ore, theyre not that rare

[verbal horizon]

Alright thanks, the issue with finding another copper ore is the rest I found are located very far from my base (I don't want to run for hours), and I already made heavy progress on this one

[frosty frost]

Dig few more times from top 🙂

[pliant briar]

also-wolves are NOT suposed to be in blackforest so its not ur problem thta u cant kill em

[verbal horizon]

My bad, forgot to mention the copper ore is bordering a mountain.

[pliant briar]

it worked

[pliant briar]

yea its pretty normal

[verbal horizon]

Yeah, so the wolves just kind of found their way to agro on me, now they're just hanging around

[pliant briar]

this whole crater just for 23 silver😭

[regal copper]

is that a proper place for newbie questions or should i move somewhere else with that?

[finite yoke]

This channel is for any question that comes to mind

What do you need help w/?

[regal copper]

So i started playing and i needed to create my own world and as i understand this is some kind of single player experience now

im basiclly offline

Is it posible in this game to find myself in some other world that more filled with actual people?

So i could build my home and sort of exist in a world where i could potentially meet other players who are going to fight or make friends with me

[frosty frost]

Look in #1024264966712340510 if you want to play with other people or talk some friends into also getting the game so you can play together 🙂

[finite yoke]

Ya beat me to it!

[regal copper]

i dont have any friends to play it with me

what if i would create my own world? Is there a chance that other people would appear?

[frosty frost]

If you make a post in the channel i linked then yeah, people may go in after you give them the server info 🙂

[regal copper]

yeah, i still know nothing. Thanks

[prime fern]

I think you just need to go back to the screen where you created your world - if you look towards the top of the menu there is a "server" tab or something like that. You need ot use that for multiplayer. It is dedicated server setup only, though, so you need to find an open server or find some people to play together. There arent big MMO servers. Thats what the others were trying to direct you to - a channel here where you can find some other peopel to play with to start new, or they can just give you the creds to enter their existing servers.

[regal copper]

can i join multiple servers with same character or is every character bonded with only 1 world?

[pliant briar]

u can switch servers with the same character

[regal copper]

so in that case maybe i should develop my character more in my single player server and then start using him to get into other servers?

[prime fern]

Yea, you can. I play mostly single player so I am biased, but I think its the best way to get to know the world - you can discover at your own pace that way.

[pliant briar]

yea just keep in mind that if u die in one server in others u still wouldnt have the gear until u pick it up so be aware of other players

[regal copper]

you mean if i lose my gear in any server then i need to get it back on the same server?

[pliant briar]

yes

[regal copper]

can server end?

[pliant briar]

others can also pick it up

[pliant briar]

wdym "end"?

[regal copper]

i mean when you start you need to destroy some bosses and i assume every server have the same story - some bosses existing in some places on the map and they need to be killed

what happens when all bosses are being killed by players that are existing on the server?

[pliant briar]

no, every player need to kill the boss or atleast deal some damage while others kill him and when all bosses are being killed-nothing happens u just continue the gameplay with nothing to do

also bosses killed on other servers needs to be killed again on the new one

[prime fern]

Keep in mind its still early access / beta for a bit longer. It doesnt have an ending in like a final boss yet.

[regal copper]

ok, so i can't just kill a server boss without agreement from all other players that are existing on the server?

[prime fern]

Might be this year, but no guarantees.

[frosty frost]

They only need to stay close to the fight for bosses that have player based number of drops 🙂

my bets are on 2026 🙂

[pliant briar]

didnt know that

[prime fern]

I think you can kill them whenever if you have the materials to do it - you dont need anyone else, even in a multiplayer server.

[frosty frost]

True that, but for more than 1 boss item to drop you need multiple people around for few bosses 🙂

[regal copper]

So someone creates a server and he is an owner of this server. There are 100 other players coming to the server and now he needs to wait for their aproval to kill boss on his own server?

[prime fern]

I remember a couple years back a youtube vid of someone talking about their server and how there was this one guy that they basically never saw again after they started - theyd just see glimpses of him now and again in the distance and he was gone again. You can play together or you can still just go off and do your own thing on a server.

[pliant briar]

nah if u kill him without them they would need to kill him by themselfs

[frosty frost]

Its all based on comunication between players, it is a game that is supposed to be played in singleplayer of with few friends, and player limit is 10 on one server

[prime fern]

Nah only I think 12 max? Not hundreds.

[pliant briar]

u can summon bosses just by yourself

[verbal horizon]

Why does mining dirt sometimes just doesn't take away mass?

[regal copper]

ok. I understand.
Another question: how does experienced players are having fun in this game? i assume most people want to create their own huge houses / villages and stuff. If everyone can travel between unlimited amount of servers with only 1 character then does it mean he have multiple houses and buildings of its own in multiple servers?

[prime fern]

You can only dig so far down from the top height - it maxes out eventually.

Same with building up with the hoe - only goes so high.

[verbal horizon]

alright thanks, must not be a very deep limit then

[prime fern]

It varies with the terrain, but no its not super deep relative to the scale of the world.

[pliant briar]

not sure what u mean but pepole need to make a new house on every server

[prime fern]

When you travel between servers, you only take what is in your personal inventory - so your gear, weapons, whatever else is in your "bag" - but nothing else from your world not ON your character goes with you.

[regal copper]

like there is a player who already played few tousand hours and have played on dozens of servers

does he have his houses in many servers? or should he build his house only in 1 server that is his "main"?

[prime fern]

But, houses built are there for anyone in that server, so you could feasibly travel to all sorts of other players houses and villages.

[pliant briar]

he probbably has house on every one of them

[prime fern]

Structures are server-dependent - if he has a house on one server, it does not exist on any others.

[regal copper]

What prevents me from going to random server and lets say destroy someone else house that he spend many hours building?

[pliant briar]

imagine u need to leave the server just to craft something

[prime fern]

Though if I am being COMPLETELY accurate, there are ways to take entire structures and sort of copy/paste them with mods.

[prime fern]

Sort of nothing? But there is a "ward" item you can construct that prevents other players changing things in a radius, and also a personal "locked" chest item so no one can take stuff from it.

[pliant briar]

theres a special "statue" that when placed prevents other players from building, opening doors/chests etc.

[regal copper]

ok, so there is a way to protect myself from harmful players

[true steeple]

Don’t play on the same server as them

[regal copper]

if server is open then how could i know who i going to come in future?

[pliant briar]

yea just make sure that the statue is activated and its range covers the whole building

[prime fern]

Yea, if you need to you can take some measures, but realistically if you are only a groups of 10 you can usually find 9 other people that arent d-ks.

Servers are password protected - or at least can be? - so it can be pretty controlled.

[regal copper]

i assume most players have something like "main" servers where they spend most of the time and have their entire villages built

[prime fern]

Admittedly, my multiplayer experience is mostly just with my husband so I didnt have to worry about that stuff.

[pliant briar]

maybe

[prime fern]

Overall, its just not an MMO...was never intended to be. Its an exceptionally good solo experience, and also good with a small group, but its not a world designed for 100s of players.

[regal copper]

So let's say me and my 4 friends are creating our own server. We play here as a team of 5 people, not letting anyone else, we explore map, we defeat all bosses, doing all story the game had prepared for us, we finished building our entire base and now what is left for us to still return to this server?

[prime fern]

Your own desire to grow your settlement? ITs also not a live-service. It doesnt have to play forever. I've got something like 2K hours in it...but its not all the time.

I keep coming back because its beautiful, relaxing, challenging, and creative.

[pliant briar]

yea u can only wait for new update or build crazy stuff

[regal copper]

challenging? What was the challenge for you after already exploring entire map?

[prime fern]

I leave it for months at a time, then when I've had a stressful week I come smack some draugrs and add a tower to my house...then go back to my real life for a while.

[regal copper]

so those draurgs and other mobs are respawning?

[pliant briar]

ofc

[prime fern]

I still havent beaten the last biome, and there is a new one coming sometime in the nearish future.

[true steeple]

In valheim the intention is not to stay on the same world for hundreds and hundreds of hours. You start a playthrough, beat the game, and play it again or find something else to do.

[prime fern]

I also set goals for myself - I started a new char just today where I want to play in hard mode, no mods, and build a castle with the build pieces from the newest biome. That'll take a while...

[prime fern]

Yea, nearly all mobs respawn after some time. For common mobs you can sometime see them pop in right in front of you LOL

[regal copper]

ok, i understand. So maybe now i will just continue playing on that single player server i've already created and learn the game there.

Hope 2025 is not too late to start playing this game

[prime fern]

Yea, just set off exploring and see what happens. Try not to have expectations (like what I said about MMO and live-service - it isnt those things). Pick up the things you see, learn what you learn, discover whats out there, and just enjoy the experience.

[frosty frost]

Oh not at all 😄 the game isnt even finnished yet

[prime fern]

Not at all, its a brilliant game. The devs have been a little slow with the content delivery, but they are adaptable and dedicated to making it all it can be.

I genuinely wish that I could unlearn it, just so I could do it all again with that same sense of discovery.

[regal copper]

My appearance here is dictated by my will to find some kind of new internet community where i could exist, grow and hang out with people in virtual world so i don;t know if i stay here because game is more single player than i thought

my previous community no longer exist due to death of my friend who was an admin of that community

so thats why im looking

I was also thinking about project zomboid, but i assume its similar to this game - tousants of small servers that are filled only with few people

[prime fern]

I cant speak to whether if can be what you need or not - that is a very personal thing. I am truly sorry that you have lost your friend.

[regal copper]

Factorio also doesn't do the trick

[prime fern]

There is a lot of solitude in the world - even in a server, it is a theme of exploration and meditation rather than close-knit community I think. But, again, most of my experience is solo. That doesnt mean that there arent tighter groups out there.

But I think youd probably need to create that group...because otherwise its just luck of the draw whether you get a handful of players that become your friends or dont really communicate.

Playing with my spouse meant that I could literally shout if something was sneaking up on him LOL

[pastel jewel]

hey there, I set up a server for enough ppl to play with my friends, but some of them keep facing the problem, that the world doesnt load properly and keeps disconnecting them.
Any idea what the issue might be?

[placid urchin]

currently in the mountains, what are the best food i can have ?

[frosty frost]

Probably best to ask #mods-discussion 🙂

[prime fern]

Early mountains before you find the new crop there?

Muckshake, turnip stew, and sausage for 2 x Stam and 1 x Health, or you can swap one of the stam foods for I think its blood sausage for 2 x health instead.

blood pudding *

[placid urchin]

explored quite a bit but i havent found the crop actually, so i was using sausages and deer stew for hp

[prime fern]

If youve got some blood bags around from the swamp, you can swap out the deer stew for the blood pudding. Should give you a good bump in health.

When you find the new crop you'll unlock the next food levels there.

[placid urchin]

alright ty, tho i looked up blood pudding and its level 4 cauldron and barley flour which i dont think i can get atm

[prime fern]

Hint: you need to look in chests around ruins to find the new crop. You wont find it growing.

Oh right hang on a sec Ive got the wrong thing then...

Balck soup!

I was mixing it up with black pudding in england LOL

[placid urchin]

black soup is slightly better but i dont have too many blood bags so i settled on deer stew

[prime fern]

If you can face a wolf on your deer stew you'll be fine until you get the next stuff. They are the quickest so hardest to handle early mountains. The other mobs are easier to dodge.

Prob dont go in at night until you have the next, though. You'll get starred wolves, then.

[placid urchin]

i already got mountain gear so im fine, just wanted to know what i could switch my current food to

[prime fern]

Ah, okay you really do just need the crop then. Look for stone ruins or the cabins where there might be chests. That is what you need. 🙂

[placid urchin]

gonna look for a new mountain then, thank you!

[prime fern]

No prob - enjoy - I love the mountains!

[steep tusk]

Food sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat
You want the Configurations tab.

[placid urchin]

mountains are awesome for sure, cant wait to step into the deep north aswell

[prime fern]

Yes, I am looking forward to that! I love the aesthetic of the snow. 🙂

[steep tusk]

Make sure you do wait though. So you don't fuck up the world gen when the update actually drops.

[placid urchin]

i just shouldnt go too high north right ?

[prime fern]

Yea, exactly. Explore South LOL

[steep tusk]

Stay out of the top like 20% of the map and you'll be fine.

[prime fern]

My mountain castle if anyone would like a peek...I did post this before, but its been a while. 🙂

[placid urchin]

alright got it thanks

[prime fern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlrDQztL6cI&ab_channel=FranDMcKay

[placid urchin]

this is absolutely stunning, genuiely insane. been looking forward to the mountains to build a castle there aswell

[prime fern]

Location location location! lol

I found a great low mountain with no drakes spawning. Everything is lifted up just enough that I am completely invulnerable without needing walls or anything like that.

[placid urchin]

right that spot looks awesome! gonna look for the new crop aswell as a mountain to settle now

[little trench]

@prime fern whats ur fav biome

[prime fern]

hmmm...

If mistlands had no mist...it would be that one. I LOVE how it looks, and I loved the step up in challenge. The mist ruins it completely though...you cant even SEE how good it is. Stick a mod on, and its amazing.

Vanilla? Mountains for looks, black forest for content.

Black Forest always feels like there is something to do around the next rock - I don't think they've ever quite achieved that to the same level in the other biomes.

[little trench]

so black forest is ur fav?

[prime fern]

I don't like settling on just one LOL! I can tell you my LEAST fav - swamp. HATE that mess.

[steep tusk]

Nothing like waking up to a troll just staring at you through the window 😁

[little trench]

ya i was big swamp hater originally

[steep tusk]

Swamp is fine.
Meadows can get fucked.

[prime fern]

I like to build in the meadows because you are mostly left alone. I dont like building in black forest for the opposite - you are CONSTANTLY being harrassed.

[little trench]

true. rip ur crops

[steep tusk]

Left alone?
ALONE?

My good person, Greylings make me understand why humanity invented slurs.

[prime fern]

I tried a bit back - spent ages building this lovely log cabin...and never used it. I got tired of fighting off shamans every night. I want to play, not repair all day.

[frosty frost]

How to tell others you dont have walls and dont spawnproof without actually saying it 😏

[steep tusk]

They wander and swim around walls.
They trek in from miles away regardless of spoofing.

[frosty frost]

No they dont 😄 otherwise i would have base full of them

[prime fern]

LOL! My husband calls them Pongo, because apparently there used to be this guy he knew that was always getting into fights with one particular guy bigger than he was, and one day the guy said "F-k off, Pongo! I'm tired of hitting you!"

[steep tusk]

They do. You just seem to have an accord with them.

[frosty frost]

too many deaths for that

[lilac coyote]

A Honda Accord?

[prime fern]

They are impressively presistent. Little bro, you just saw me PUNCH A TROLL. Why are you starting?

[eternal heart]

hello can someone tell me why my vinebarry wont grow?
it did have some plants but noww it wont grow at all.

[livid badge]

ironaxe or battleaxe? both for wood cutting and killling

[prime fern]

They are very different playstyles for combat - the battleaxe is a 2H, so its powerful, but slow af.

[steep tusk]

Whichever you, personally, prefer.

[livid badge]

how about for cutting, I heard it can 1 shot woods

[frosty frost]

There is 0 actual need for either, really depends on you 🙂

[prime fern]

Worth a try to see if you like it, but give it a good trial before you invest in upgrades.

[steep tusk]

Take everything you "heard" about this game and throw it out the window.
Experience the game for yourself.

[prime fern]

I havent personally put enogh time in to say if it makes woodcutting faster. I just use the one hand.

I just dont like the slowness of it.

[prime fern]

You know, sitting and thinking about this, I am not really fair to the swamp. It is actually the closest to B. Forest in terms of constant activity, difficulty ramp up, useful resources, etc. I literally just hate it because its constant sticky green. I just hate the look LOL

[steep tusk]

Judging by looks. FOR SHAME!! 😭

😏

[prime fern]

I know, it is my failing LOL

[frosty frost]

Yep

[radiant prism]

Hello! Need some help. Me and my wife going to Mistlands again. We were there a few years back but it went bad. My equipment is Frostner, Black Shield,Padded armor and lox cape. Hers is Root Set and Wolf cape and bow is draugr fang.

We have killed Yag but idk where to get the eggs?

I need some nice food or poitons or general tips to be more tanky in Mistlands TYSM 🙂

[steep tusk]

Eggs are at the bottom of Sealed Tower after you kill the miniboss.

And everything else in the tower on your way down.

[radiant prism]

Eggs are in Plains right?

was this perhaps added after a while? we killed Yag a long time ago

[steep tusk]

The Sealed Tower is in the Plains.

Was added with Hildr.

[radiant prism]

ah! do I need a new seed?

[steep tusk]

No.

[snow river]

how can I give my friend devcommands like nocost in my server?

[steep tusk]

You can't.

[radiant prism]

Can I do the quest from Hildr in a new seed and it counts on my old seed?

[steep tusk]

You have to bring the chest back to your old seed.

[radiant prism]

Okay, I have not yet done her quests but realize this is what is needed to find the Sealed tower. So I can do the quest and bring it through my inventory and all will be fine :3?

[steep tusk]

Yup.

[radiant prism]

awesome tysm

[steep tusk]

Bring the eggs too.

[fading herald]

Someone knows how to see the deaths is that yesterday I disconnected and connected with nothing I don't know why

help

[tired root]

Do you mean the death count or?

[steep tusk]

Death count is always <1 because if you die, you start all over 😏

[fading herald]

Not that yesterday I disconnected at the base and I went out and put a mod to recycle objects and now that I appeared with nothing literally nothing

[steep tusk]

#mods-issues

[short cosmos]

This is straight up wrong

[lilac coyote]

In a vanilla context it mostly certainly is correct.

[pliant briar]

what food should i use for moder?

[knotty kettle]

The best you can, same as any boss

[little trench]

entrails and raw boar meat

[true steeple]

Serpent meat and stew are good options for health food

[little trench]

nah jk yea prolly just the best health/health/stam food u can get

[true steeple]

Or two stamina food and one health food

[little trench]

eyescream / wolf skewer / and uuhhh.. wolf jerky?

[true steeple]

Use a feast instead of wolf jerky if you want a balanced-stat food

[pliant briar]

sausage, serpent stew and cloudberry is gonna be good?

[subtle parrot]

Use salad

[true steeple]

Do you have any better stamina food than the cloudberry?

[little trench]

ya m8 GOLDEN

[true steeple]

Salad is mistlands food

[pliant briar]

dont think so, im waiting for first onion to grow rn

[subtle parrot]

Ah, bread then

[true steeple]

That's plains

[sleek herald]

The Valheim culinary understanding in here is disgraceful....

[little trench]

smh this guy dont even play the game

get him outta here mods

[subtle parrot]

Ah, he said cloudberry so i assumed he was that far

[pliant briar]

i can get the bread depending on what i need to do

[subtle parrot]

Nah you need to have beaten moder already

[short cosmos]

It is not when I have made players in my world admin In vanilla

[tired root]

Turnip stew or eyescream could also work well for stamina food if you don't have onions yet.

[pliant briar]

im waiting for them for grow rn im gonna have like 10 i think

[ebon marsh]

Salad is mistlands food

Oh the chat was scrolled up 🤦‍♂️ mb

[fathom lotus]

can i tame them? ( waitet for 2 minutes and they ate nothing yet)

[ebon marsh]

Have any hearts popped up at all?

[fathom lotus]

not yet ^^

thats why i asked here x3

[ebon marsh]

I’ve never tamed wolves so I’m not sure what food they need have you checked if they will take deer meat?

[fathom lotus]

yup, tamed one already without a star

[ebon marsh]

You could try chucking the deer meat closer and then letting them deaggro then check again

[fathom lotus]

sure ill agro them aign

[ebon marsh]

It seems they are trying to go back to their spawn point from the corner, I had a similar problem with breeding boars where they would stay near the edge of the enclosure and would be too far to eat food

[fathom lotus]

seems like they keep staying in a corner

i just killed one more and will try agin then

[tired root]

Starred wolves need to start taming before the dawn rises because mobs spawned during night try to despawn when the night ends. So they are now probably trying to go away to despawn and won't eat anything because of it, which means that if you leave the area now they will then despawn.

The only way for them not despawn now is to wait there until dusk/night time.

[fathom lotus]

ah thanks, i walked away before that time and it instantly despawned

good to know.

[tired root]

You have to be quite fast when you spot the starred wolf you want to tame and have the pit and foods ready, so when their alerted status goes off they start the taming process.
Also, if you have found the Bog witch she sells ingredients for a mead that shortens the taming process time by half.

[pliant briar]

can i make this greydwarf not despawn? he got trapped by a troll and i wanna keep him in here

[pliant briar]

pls respond i cant find it online and i wanna keep him as antique if possible

[small sonnet]

Is the Body Recovery Squad still a thing?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[frosty frost]

You dont have to do anything 🙂 most enemies never despawn anyway, the only ones that do are either night spawns of certain mobs or raid mobs.

You might be thinking about night spawns 🙂 they do despawn at dawn @small sonnet

[pliant briar]

i hope so hes a legend already on this world

[frosty frost]

Also if you put fire close to him he will not even attack you 😄

[small sonnet]

I was thinking of that, yes! How might I get in contact with the Body Recovery Squad? I died on the side of a mountain near Moder and the wolves and Drakes are making it really hard to get my stuff back

[frosty frost]

#1033392094817046630 message 🙂

[sleek herald]

There's also body recovery god ||devcommands||

[frosty frost]

Or that 😄 But some people dont really like using that

[small sonnet]

I think enlisting the help of a powerful friend every once in a while is more than fair and also kind of a fun way to work around the problem

[small sonnet]

May you forever punch Drakes, thank you 🙏🏾

[frosty frost]

I plan to do so 😄 just about an hour ago one succumbed to my fist

[cold crater]

do you need to kill the boss to get the area feast herb at the bog witch?

[frosty frost]

Yep, you get biomes feast after killing that biomes boss 🙂

[cold crater]

ah dammit i wanted to make the feast already xdd

[frosty frost]

You can make first two after killing elder iirc

[cold crater]

yeah i got that one, i wanted to make the mistlands feast

[frosty frost]

Ah, to the queen you go 😄

[fading herald]

Hello a question there is some command to save the character

[cedar lodge]

and rock golems, basically diamond-knuckled

[frosty frost]

I think its should save when you hit the save button in Esc menu, together with the world

[fading herald]

no

[tough hare]

The game saves when using the "save" option in the menu, when you log out, when you completely leave the game and when using [alt]+[F4].
It also saves every 30 minutes, more or less at the dawn of the game day.

What other option would you like to have?

[stray siren]

why are all my signs getting cut off like this, and how can i fix it?

[frosty frost]

Are you using any mods?

[stray siren]

a few QoL ones, yeah

no rain damage, plant easily, trash items, and torches eternal

[frosty frost]

Try disabeling them and then turn back one by one to see which one causes it 🙂

[sleek herald]

Rain damage would be my prime suspect

[gloomy dagger]

where might we find Vegvesir Yagluth ?

[frosty frost]

Look for stonehenge like structures, megaliths put in circles or in shape of a gate, those can have them. Tho it often happens that you find the altar itself before the vegvisir 😄

[gloomy dagger]

WE FOUND ONE

it did not contain a vegvesir

[frosty frost]

Yeah, Yags vegvisirs are probably the rarest in game since the structures that can have them are already rare and they don't always have them.

You can also sail around plains an look for the altar itself 🙂

[stoic trench]

I’ve never had an issue finding a Yag vegvisir… ||just the queen 🥲||

[gloomy dagger]

we found many things that look altar-ish, but they contained neither vegvesir nor a place to put totems

[frosty frost]

It will look like ||fingers of gigantic stone hand reaching front the ground|| 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

what will ?

[frosty frost]

The altar

[gloomy dagger]

to summon the boss with items?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[livid badge]

is this the swamp boss area?

nvm that place is nothing

[subtle parrot]

It'll look like a giant skull

[livid badge]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

so it was that, thanks man. I thought that was just a poison pool or something so I left it

[mellow yarrow]

best bait for ocean biome?

[lilac coyote]

Ocean bait.

[subtle parrot]

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

[livid badge]

is this worth it? its too far

[loud rapids]

doesn't look that far to me

[livid badge]

thats almost an hour trip

to my actual base

the only good thing is that I love sailing in this game

[woeful pivot]

im mining out the whole bottom of the stone pillars but its not collapsing the whole thing

[errant furnace]

some huge structores like stones and ores have invisible hitboxes that are alot large than it looks, sometimes keeping on diggin works

[woeful pivot]

its sitll not working

[errant furnace]

you might want to start chipping at the bottom of the rock now

[floral monolith]

how do i log in to the game

game log in

[nocturne agate]

im running a server for me and my friends and whenever i put wood in the charcoal kiln the server freezes entirely i had to reset the world countless times for it to work does this happen to anyone else or just me?

[short cosmos]

remove ur wood platform and dig a little deeper down & flatten it, then hit some of the pillar and it will break

[cold crater]

is royal jelly a limited ressource or does it respawn?

[true steeple]

Royal jelly and some enemies respawn in infested mines

[gilded ridge]

What armor that good with berserker axe? flametal or ask

[cold crater]

awesome ty

[true steeple]

Ask armor is better unless you want to take unblocked hits (but why would someone want that?)

[gilded ridge]

so flametal armor is good with berserk axe?

My first tought ask set is better with berserk since it reduce stamina useage

[true steeple]

Not as good as ask armor unless you’re not dodging or blocking the attacks

[pliant briar]

what does bog witch offer? im omw to her (or him)

[tired root]

Ingredients. You shall see.

[true steeple]

You can use her ingredients to make feasts (long lasting, balanced-stat food) and some new meads

[gilded ridge]

new mead recipe like boost speed, and the other

[pliant briar]

seems good

[candid lynx]

found my pulsing lag machine ughhhh

[pliant briar]

what should i buy?

i bought one of everything

[red fossil]

How do I crack larger rocks? Stone/flint axe do 0 damage.

[frosty frost]

You need to kill first boss 🙂

[tired root]

This is the way.

[placid plaza]

Can I fight bonemass with only root mask or should I drink poison resistance potions

[frosty frost]

The mead is better, you can get a heavy armor helmet for added armor instead of the mask 🙂

[placid plaza]

Alright ty

[placid urchin]

is it possible to collect tar with mountain gear? would really like to get it now for building

[frosty frost]

Ofcourse 😄 you will go with that gear into plains anyway, how else would you get plains gear?

[placid urchin]

well i was mostly wondering if i needed black metal gear to collect it ahah, thank you

[frosty frost]

Oh, yeah you dont need anything like that 🙂 any pickaxe is enough

[pliant briar]

good gear for moder? (i probbably forgot about smth for sure)

[subtle parrot]

Looks alright, but you're a little cluttered in your inventory, i would just put some of those tools and extra foods and junk away before going to fight her

[pliant briar]

ik its just a preview cuz im waiting for potions

[subtle parrot]

No worries

[small nest]

its not worth it if its close to the world edge, some swamps can border 6th biome of the game, which is not forgiving

although its only on rare occasions, i only had this situation once

its way more common with 4th boss

[pliant briar]

yea thats how im gonna fight her, i also have a portal to her so if i die i can easily teleport and continue

[true steeple]

Make a terrain pillar, it will protect you from her projectile attack she uses when flying

Also, the obsidian arrows will be best

[pliant briar]

im gonna have 140 stamina so i can easily dodge

and i dont have enogh feathers so im using any arrow that i got

does she have any weakspots?

[frosty frost]

Nope, only 3 enemies in game do, 1 is troll and the other 2 are in mistlands.

[icy patrol]

how does the wishing bone work. when it starts pulsing really fast do i juts dig down ?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[icy patrol]

bet ty

[tough hare]

Looking at the total piercing dmg, it might.

But fire stacks, it's a dragon using frost, meaning even if the total dmg of the fire arrows isn't more than that of obsidian, the fire dmg still outperforms the obsidian ones due to the DoT of the fire.

Tested it myself in a Hard game in which I needed less fire arrows than obsidian ones. And used the Draugr fang on both occassions.

[true steeple]

Did you have the same bow skill too?

[tough hare]

I didn't level up, if that's what you mean.

[tired root]

cough Needle arrows cough

[tough hare]

Might as well recommend the Carapace arrows or the arbalest with black metal bolts.

When someone asks which arrows are the best to defeat Moder because that person is a new player, you don't advise arrows from a higher biome.

That is, not if you want to send a new player on a suicide mission.

[frail cave]

the total damage of fire is the DoT

[pliant briar]

goddamn that fight was LONG

[frail cave]

valheim's DoT damage isn't a direct hit + extra DoT, it's the advertised damage number split into damage ticks spread out over a course of time

it's literally just delayed damage, no extra in any way by design. there is afaik a bug that makes DoT damage types tick one more time than they're supposed to, but that's unlikely to sway a damage difference as big as the one between fire and obsidian

[frosty frost]

i usually say to get obsidian and if they have some then to take needle 🙂

[tired root]

My comment was a bit jesting, but some newbies also might have encountered squitos before facing Moder so it's not impossible (especially with Harnesk). Carapace and Arbalest would be much harder to get for newbies at that point.

But yeah, obsidian is safe option.

[pliant briar]

can i smelt copper, silver etc. in the better furnace? or is it only for black metal and better

[tired root]

Only for blackmetal and better.

[small nest]

reason: no reason at all lmao

[hoary ocean]

which wall is the strongest? Iron cage wall or Dverg copper wall?

[lilac coyote]

What?

[small nest]

that blast furnaces dont smelt other metals, just black metal and higher tier stuff

[small nest]

good question, i think its dverger

[lilac coyote]

Blast furnaces run too hot for the lower tier metals.

[small nest]

test this with some weapons such as iron sword, you know so that youll destroy it pretty quickly and it could be comparable by amount of hits

[steep tusk]

Game balance.
Burning other metals at higher temperatures ruins them.
The devs hate people.

Plenty of reasons.

[small nest]

3rd one got me, life could be so awesome with normal furnaces being replaced

similar to replacing anvils with better ones in terraria

i'd end it here since its help channel after all

[steep tusk]

Normally I would fight that Blast and Regular should be separate.

But then they added Stone Portal specifically "to make things easier" so that logic can now be applied to why Blast Furnace should similarly just be a straight upgrade.

[tired root]

Nah, this game is not Terraria.

[delicate condor]

pretty sure that's a 2 star seeker... should I just avoid that room..?
I play with fenris armor and black knife/draugr fang

nvm managed to get him stuck, I killed him

[small nest]

yes, you'll die, maybe if you could use bonemass and max knife + buckler + parry you could parry it but you'll die after 2 parries

[small nest]

cheers!

[hoary ocean]

exactly the same.. both took 30 hits from a blackmetal pickaxe

just tested it

[small nest]

well then pick whatever looks better with your surroundings and whats cheaper, natural walls are the best but are the ugliest

[hoary ocean]

yeah I just want to create a cage around the eirk refinery

and protect my building

[small nest]

for the cage iron gates and black marble is perfect

[agile frigate]

Is there a toggle walk function for controller? Need for planting

[small nest]

iron from the front so you can see whats happening
