[tired root]

I have had no problems with using them. I utilise 2 best feasts available with either stamina or hp food as 3rd option depending which stat I need the most.

[true steeple]

Their stats are good too, and have the same amount of health and stamina so they can be used for new stat combinations

[deft harbor]

But are you eating them from a tray while out and about?

I havent used them yet so not sure how it even works

[tired root]

You place them on table with tray.

They have 10 portions you can eat.

[true steeple]

Once placed they can be eaten ten times, but they can’t be moved after you’ve eaten from them

[deft harbor]

Ah right

I like to make little outposts around so it could be good to get them all setup with feasts 😄

[tired root]

Oh right, I have done that. Built outposts in each biome and decorated them with their biome respected trophies, gear, foods, forageables, meads and feasts. Looks very homely.

[deft harbor]

For sure

Logistics wins wars 😄

[digital bridge]

you can fly in valheim ???

[tired root]

Still WIP, I've Mistlands and Ashlands outposts still to finnish.

[marble roost]

you can enable cheats

[tired root]

With dev commands yes.

[alpine zenith]

i accidently made charcoal kiln instead of smelter with the only 5 cores i had.

[digital bridge]

oh, is that smth i would need to enable before creating the world or so?

[marble roost]

Although there are some non-cheat ways of flying

[deft harbor]

Oh nice, well I used to play with a friend on his server and we conquered mistlands (that was around when it first came out) but ive since moved onto a new world for myself and havent quite gotten back there yet 😄

[alpine zenith]

😭

[marble roost]

nah, can do it anytime. google it

[deft harbor]

use hammer to destroy it, reclaim the goods

[alpine zenith]

wait what...

oh shit never thought of that........

[deft harbor]

yeah, I would have wasted so much without it

[alpine zenith]

💀

[tired root]

So you've never been in Ashlands yet? Lucky you. 👍

[deft harbor]

Not yet, Im looking forward to being humbled

Can you change portal tags without ruining the connection?

[tired root]

If you mean the trick to move quickly through portal after naming it to rename the other portal too, that doesn't work anymore. You need to use 3rd portal for that.

[deft harbor]

dang

[tired root]

Apparently it was a bug that IG fixed some time ago (I think just before Ashlands PTB patch).

[deft harbor]

Ah ok

[deft harbor]

I cant remember if it was Valheim, but I remember a creature that looked exactly like a tree, but then would start moving towards you, it was terrifying

[true steeple]

That’s either an abomination or not valheim

[deft harbor]

Yeah its not an abomination

So not valheim probably

[twilit cedar]

can an infested mine have zero loot?

[true steeple]

Yes, like any dungeon

[knotty light]

They can, but they also can have well hidden loot

Some walls are breakable and some walls are actually doors

[alpine zenith]

i cant kill creatures with butcher knife right?

[true steeple]

Only tamed creatures

[alpine zenith]

okay.

so the purpose of copper and tin is bronze.

[true steeple]

There are some things you can make with raw copper and tin, such as a mead ketill

[severe hill]

i mean, you can beat them with it. but it counts as unarmed ^_^

[alpine zenith]

i see,im just starting out ish.

so i should go for bronze weapons yes?

[true steeple]

The copper knife is an option too, it’s not all bronze

[modest trellis]

Hello, I have a dedicated server for some friends and was trying to activate the nobuildcost so we can design our base but the setkey does not work. I already have admin and it works as other setkeys/worldmodifiers worked. can anyone help?

[severe hill]

it should just work with -setkey nobuildcost in the server's startup command

[knotty light]

And Bronze is used later for all kinds of things…

[alpine zenith]

bronze atgeir or sword?

[knotty light]

Sword can be used with the buckler, and using it is IMO the most active and effective way to play

[alpine zenith]

i see.

[knotty light]

But using the atgeirs secondary move is really fun

Mastering parrying is a sort of must have skill later on

[tired root]

Both are good. Depends on your preference.

[modest trellis]

in the console right? when i press F5

[severe hill]

oh, no. you cant use dev commands on a dedicated server without mods

[modest trellis]

But other setkeys worked or world modifiers

So i am confused. As I managed to set a key for resource rate and for portals to tp metal

[deft harbor]

Love the atgeir

[true steeple]

Polearms (atgeirs) are incredibly strong against trolls

[severe hill]

i have no idea, then. i'm new here

[alpine zenith]

thanks.

[smoky acorn]

Billy is right about setkey not being available in Dedicated Server. setworldpreset and setworldmodifier may work in the Console on dedicated server if you had previously done one of those. setkey is also available when you're hosting the in-game server or playing the game locally in single-player mode.

You have a few choices:

• Stop server, bring the world to your local game client, load the world and edit the modifiers e.g. with the world editing dialog or Console commands, re-copy world to server, start server.
• In the server arguments for launch, you can add something like -setkey nobuildcost like Billy suggested.
• Connected as a player in the admin list with the Server devcommands BepInEx mod installed on your local game client, setkey nobuildcost in the Console.

[deft harbor]

Is there a way to stop fulings from spawning in a destroyed fuling camp? I leveled the place completely and placed crafting tables all around, but still see them spawning sometimes

[true steeple]

They don’t specifically respawn in their camps. The respawning is the same as anywhere else in plains.

[deft harbor]

ah ok

[digital bridge]

When hitting a tree, wich setting do i have to turn off that its not so " zoomed in and wobbly"?

[frail cave]

i think screen shake is on a different page

[smoky acorn]

Did you already try zooming out with the mousewheel? (or two-finger drag on mbp)

[edgy arrow]

Can you "breed" fish?

[tired root]

No. They spawn randomly.

[modest trellis]

Thank you, i will see about the modify in the launch aruments. I was confused because -setkey StaminaRegen works and also -setkey ResourceRate 200 work. But notbuildcost doesnt

[digital bridge]

How great is the „player based raids“?
When well building a home together and so on? Xd

[willow raft]

Enabling and disabling what raids can trigger works a bit different: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events#Player-based_requirements

It also means that what raids you can get are depending on the player who triggers it, if one is a few bosses behind than others the raids that can trigger for that person are different than for the ones that are further along.

[digital bridge]

wait so bosses can be killed multiple times?
i though its world based

[true steeple]

You can even have multiple instances of a boss simultaneously

[digital bridge]

and when a boss is fought together and killed by one of the 2 players does it give progression for this "raid" stuff for both or just the one who killed the boss

[true steeple]

Without player based raids enabled, it will affect everyone in the world.

[willow raft]

Yeah every boss has specific item that it needs to get summoned, if you gather multiple of those you can resummon or multi summon boss.

Default raids are world based but if you turn on player based raids it is based on the progression of the player that triggers the raid.
Someone that freshly joins a server with world based raids on can trigger a seeker raid for example.
With player based raids that isn't possible and they can only trigger the very first raid that is boars and necks.

[willow raft]

That is explained in the link I posted.
To progress you need to either get the forsaken power or a boss item, a boss should drop multiple instances of its item if there are more players on the server.

[digital bridge]

whats a instances?

ah like a item that this boss only dropps?

[willow raft]

Yeah multiple boss items should drop if there are multiple people in the server.

[native mirage]

Hi, I've just made a very large storage area - but when I hold E to deposit the game crashes. Is there a limit of chests I should stay under to avoid this? It's a bit of a bummer as I spent a long time making it

[true steeple]

Are you using any mods? I’ve never seen anyone else with this issue.

[native mirage]

I am - will try to disable and see if it still crashes

Ok looks like it was valheim plus - sorry for wasting time!

[regal copper]

i will never get that time back

[raw kettle]

Hello, I'm very new to the game. I was on a shared server last night and struggled to look at the fiery portals. Is anyone aware of a way to turn down/off the flame intensity? I also tried reducing flickering in the accessibility tab but that didn't seem to have much effect.

[finite yoke]

Just don't stare at the flames 🙃(idk how to change the portal brightness specifically)

[regal copper]

-hi i don't like that graphic, is there a way to turn it off?
-just dont look at it

hi, i have depression
just stop being sad

[raw kettle]

Thanks... Unfortunately that's not really an option, I have to look at it in order to identify the portal name and that only occurs after it is brightly flaming

[buoyant peak]

no

[raw kettle]

Thanks, I'll submit an enhancement request

[finite yoke]

I personally don't stare at the animation

but you do you

[finite yoke]

more like: hi, I don't like this specific person. just don't hang out w/ them

[fathom badge]

In the shorter term, you can do something like mount a sign over the portal you can see from further away, or place a recognizable trophy or something above it so you can see what it is without getting near enough to trigger the animation.

[willow raft]

You could place poles with a sign on them that tells you what the portal connects to, or put a sign behind the portal on a wall in easy to read color so you can easily see what the portal is for from a distance before you get into the portal.

[little trench]

u're right

[mellow maple]

Has anyone built a Egg Farm with the slope roof design? Where should I drop the seed?

[mild yew]

do i need some potions for yagluth? (if yes what potions i should make)

[mellow maple]

Fire Resistance

and healing

[mellow maple]

His attacks: ||AOE fire (fire)||, ||meteor strike (fire)||, and ||laser from it's mouth (try to dodge this, deals tons of damage)||

[mild yew]

thanks

[crystal kiln]

just kite him around the pillars

[long umbra]

hi guys, i have a problem...Why Do i have only 2 recipes?

[tired root]

You need to craft mead ketill for mead bases.

[long umbra]

i want to make sausages i do have all the items and i still can make

[tired root]

You need cauldron upgrade, it becomes available when you get crop from swamps.

[long umbra]

oh okay, and to upgrade i need to have a mead ketill?

[tired root]

Mead ketill is for mead bases, it's not an upgrade for cauldron.

[long umbra]

none of that?

[tired root]

I answered quite hastily before you mentioned sausages.

[tired root]

You need to find ||turnip seeds|| that are found by picking ||yellow turnip flowers||.

[long umbra]

oh okay

they changed it?

i have 3 years since i played this game

[tired root]

In late 2021 (Hearth and Home update) they changed the food system.

[long umbra]

oh okay

[tired root]

Sausages have the same recipe but they require level 2 cauldron.

Each biome have one new upgrade for higher tier foods.

[long umbra]

oh okay got it... black forest didn't had an upgrade right?

[tired root]

Yeah, black forest introduced tin which you needed to build cauldron.

[long umbra]

got it

thank you so much man

[tired root]

Just to mention, last October they added mead ketill (like I mentioned, for mead bases) and preparation table. Seems like you can build both.

[long umbra]

yeah i have them, but still nothing to make there

[stoic trench]

Food prep table doesn’t do anything until plains I believe? 🤔

[long umbra]

Could be a bug?

[tired root]

You will eventually get new recipes. In preparation table you can make uncooked foods that require oven to cook, handle fish to make uncooked fish, fish baits and new feasts.

[stoic trench]

Oh sorry! It’s for bait and prepped fish. Pre-plains.

[long umbra]

Oh okay

[tired root]

Also feasts that you unlock pre-plains.

[long umbra]

By the way about the merchant? I find him the same way at it was before the update?

[stoic trench]

Oh jeez, I’m off my rocker today

[tired root]

Haldor? He is mostly unchanged, maybe few new items since you have played.

There are 2 other merchants to find now too.

[long umbra]

Any tips to find him? Or it’s completely random?

[long umbra]

Yeah I saw the witch on the swamps

Should I buy something from her?

[tired root]

He has 10 possible spawn locations somewhere in black forest. You need to go around until you find one spawn point.

[tired root]

It's always worth to buy things at least once. Craft mead ketill too and you will find out.

[long umbra]

got it

[tired root]

She has very nice merchandise, really game changing.

[long umbra]

She always sells the same items?

[tired root]

She unlocks some new items after each boss.

[long umbra]

damn okay..

[smoky acorn]

Make sure it's NoBuildCost (and not NotBuildCost). Also note that if you're setting a key with a value like ResourceRate, you'll need to quote the key name and value together in the command line, e.g. -setkey "ResourceRate 200".

One disadvantage to using the -setkey argument is that there is no way to remove a key from the command line. So if you -setkey NoBuildCost it will be set in the world metadata and will continue to be set that way even if you restart without the argument. It would have to be removed by one of the other methods if you decide you don't want it.

[frail cave]

Hey, is it possible to change the auto-save frequency when playing regularly (on steam)? Is it only when running on a dedicated server that the auto-save frequency can be set?

[long umbra]

@tired rootim in swaps for 30 mins and i can't find any yellow flowers

[tired root]

They are somewhat rare and can be harder to spot than carrot seed flowers. Keep looking, you will eventually find one. 👍

[long umbra]

i need only one?

[tired root]

One flower grants 3 seeds.

[long umbra]

then i have unlimited? as lot as do farming?

[karmic hearth]

Yes, 1 seed gets you 1 plant gets you 3 seeds.

[tired root]

Yeah when you get turnips from them you can plant them to grow seeds then rinse and repeat.

[long umbra]

oh okay nice

they look like this

[karmic hearth]

Correct.

[long umbra]

damn thats too obvious and still i haven't got any yet XD

[tired root]

Like I said, they can be evasive and harder to spot. 🥲

[long umbra]

XD

[smoky acorn]

I believe your guess is correct, that the save interval can only be set with dedicated server launch.

[frail cave]

Alright, thanks

[long umbra]

thats new?

[tired root]

No, they have been in game since launch.

You cannot dive inside there however.

[long umbra]

oh okay, so its just for decoration?

btw what's worth buying here?

[tired root]

You could buy each one at least once and you should unlock new recipes in your mead ketill and preparation table (some right away and some later).

[karmic hearth]

Nothing really in particular. The sticks make for nice decoration and the herbs/spices are for feasts which make more sense in multiplayer imo.
The most valuable are those "special" ingredients which make new meads with unique buffs.

[tired root]

Serving tray is nice tool to have.

[long umbra]

you right. i haven't thought about that

do i need to water the plants?

[tired root]

Herbs/spices unlock new type of food recipes in preparation table if you have crafted food items they require to craft.

[tired root]

Plants don't require water in this game.

[long umbra]

good to know

[tired root]

Ivy is decorative plant btw. You place them next to a wall and they soon start to grow on the wall.

There is another same type of plant but it is available much later in game.

[karmic hearth]

You could use the ivy as a sort of planting practice for that other, more valuable plant.

[tired root]

They both are really nice decoratives. Makes buildings bit more lively.

[pastel jewel]

is there a way to turn a 1x2 into a 2x1 ?
im missing plenty pieces that fit my needs x_x

[karmic hearth]

1x2 or 2x1 of what exactly....?

[pastel jewel]

grausten wall, i need it to be only 1 high

[karmic hearth]

You could try to place another piece and navigate a second Grausten wall so that "sinks" into the ground so you can put your wall that one bit higher on top.

[pastel jewel]

ya tried, but i got something below and for its visual appearance, i dont want it higher xD
imagination was faster than checking what i actually have

[long umbra]

how to make them seeds?

[unkempt jewel]

is there a way to lose the aggro from enemies?

[long umbra]

i can't make seeds out of Turnip?

[unkempt jewel]

u need to plant the turnip again

[long umbra]

OMG IM IDIOT

yeah i saw that now

[karmic hearth]

Yes: Plant turnip, get seeds.
Plant seeds, get turnip.

[tired root]

Yeah take some time for them to grow. But you can speed up the timer by starting to sleep after midday.

But hey, like I said you will eventually find seeds! 👍

[long umbra]

yeah you was right 😄

[lilac coyote]

Does this mean you haven't done carrots yet?

[fathom badge]

You can find enough carrot seeds just in the wild that I could see someone growing just from gathered seeds and never discovering re-planting them.

[lilac coyote]

Wow, hadn't even considered that.

[fathom badge]

I've gotten close to that when solo, especially if you turn on 1.5x or more resources. You don't need a ton of carrots early if you speedrun through a lot of it

[stoic trench]

Especially if you have resources turned up, you’ll net a lot of carrots from one plant

A wild Pita has appeared!

[twilit cedar]

how do i get over lava?

[true steeple]

Use basalt bombs to create temporary platforms or flametal pillars for permanent ones. A shield generator will prevent lava from spawning projectiles.
You could also find some flametal closer to land

[twilit cedar]

thank you for the help mate.

[deft harbor]

Will stone walls disappear if they don't have a stonecutter in range?

[sharp moat]

[meager axle]

I didn't play since the mistlands update, were there any improvements on the stuttering/lag when too many things are built in a certain area, or it's still an issue?

[stoic trench]

No, you just won’t be able to repair them 🙂

[deft harbor]

Oh yeah

[prime sapphire]

does anyone have a recommendation to making this straight both horizontal/vertical? I want basically want a straight wall that leads down to the next level of my base

[deft harbor]

Thanks!

[tough hare]

I s'pose you haven't read this: https://valheim.com/news/patch-0-220-3/ ?

[meager axle]

I have not, thx

[tough hare]

Can't go do straight down on the "dirt". But with maximum depth the angle will be steep enough for monsters being unable to climb on it.

[meager axle]

sadly I don't think any of these could be a fix to that, but who knows

[tough hare]

You might want to check the Steam forum as well, as the previous patches are listed there. And we did get an optimalisation patch a while ago. I can't remember exactly when it was it was not that long after the Ashlands release, I think.

[wind leaf]

I foolishly trained my axe skill to 47 and my sword skill is still at 3 and I'm about to head to the mountains. Should I start training my sword skill now?

An axe is basically a slower sword with less of a combo from what I understand

[nova radish]

anyone know why i cant fire black metal arrows from draugr bow?

[deft harbor]

didn't even know that was a thing

or do you mean obsidian?

maybe you've got black metal missile instead of arrow though, thats only for the balista

[drowsy crane]

Personally I get 144 solid FPS in my 20k instance base, it's going to vary depending on build size, settings, system specs, and any other processes you're running.

[meager axle]

iirc the fps would drop to around 10

[drowsy crane]

I've never experienced that since it was released 5 years ago personally, either you've built too much too close together, your settings are too high, or your specs are too low.

[tough hare]

To start with:

There aren't any black metal arrows. There are black metal bolts, however and they're used in the Balista.

[meager axle]

settings didn't change anything and I experienced this before mistlands and during, did 2 playthroughs so far

[drowsy crane]

So that leaves 2 other possible explanations.

[meager axle]

1060 6GB, i5 7600k, 1 option left ;D

not sure what you mean what was too close together

bases, units or what

[drowsy crane]

I mean, that card is a decade old, and that processor is almost a decade old 🫣

[drowsy crane]

Render distance & number of instances within that distance being rendered

You can check instance count using F2

[meager axle]

if the game runs smooth for 99% of the time and then suddenly there's some huge fps drop and stutters for a while and it clears up, that ain't a hardware issue

[unreal ore]

does anyone know why I have more starting max hp than my friend? we both just started

[meager axle]

I play on 1080p as well

[drowsy crane]

I'm guessing it happens when you're unloading assets or saving the world then.

It should indicate that in your upper left.

[meager axle]

I would've noticed it

[drowsy crane]

Eating foods will grant you HP and Stamina bonuses.

[drowsy crane]

You might want to record it and submit it here https://www.valheimgame.com/support

It could be unique to your hardware

[mental light]

Hey i can't get the game to launch on steam. It look like it about to go then just close.

No mods and just reinstalled the game.

[lilac coyote]

Looking for Mac+controllers help: I'm running Valheim on Mac + Steam and trying to get a PS5 or Switch controller to work with modifications via Steam Input or similar. Basically I want to turn on chording of various controller buttons to correspond to the 1-8 keys. So far I haven't been able to get it working: the PS5 controller works but Valheim ignores the Steam Input modifications; Steam recognizes the Switch Joy-Cons but with or without Steam Input, Valheim doesn't. Anybody got this working? Thanks!

[meager escarp]

I need assistance fixing a major performance issue with Valheim. Two days ago, it was running on balanced graphics settings at a steady 70 fps. Yesterday, after making no changes to my gaming laptop which has more than capable specs to run this game, I could only achieve 10 fps. I have updated all graphics drivers, windows 10, and verified the game files but nothing seems to have worked. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but that didn't work either. Does anyone know what else I can try to do to fix this?

[finite yoke]

Try turning graphics down, the xbox isn't necessarily the most powerful system

[plain yarrow]

Its already at performance mode

And I cant those extensive graphics settings I've seen in videos regarding this matter, such as setting to 720p specifically or altering draw distance etc.

Is there any way to turn down the instances for valheim?

How do I stop grass from going into the floor when building? Hard to find a place where the ground is 100% even

[frosty frost]

Hoe 🙂

[north zinc]

yo guys, i keep getting "failed to connect" when i try to join a friend, anyone know anything bout that?

[graceful ferry]

Cant a hoe be used once the floor is placed?

[frosty frost]

Remove floor, click with flatten or pathen and place floor again 🙂

[graceful ferry]

Can I not build a camp fire inside? :<

[frosty frost]

You have to place it on the ground, not floor 😉

[graceful ferry]

So how to stay warm inside a house?

[frosty frost]

Break a floor, place fire down 😄

You can actually put the floor back after you place the campfire 🙂

[graceful ferry]

I guess you cant rename characters? For some annoying reason mine did wBoOOp instead of Wboop 😐

[frosty frost]

Character names should be all uppercase 🤔

[graceful ferry]

Say that to my bed? 😄

[frail cave]

(that's just the font used on the title screen and above player heads not having lowercase letters, the actual name can have any case, as you can see in chat and this bed)

it's a bit inconvenient that this all-uppercase font is used even on the screen where you type in your name 😅

[graceful ferry]

I made my name Wboop though

Can I make a new character and come back into my world? and continue?

[frosty frost]

You surely can

[frail cave]

but to answer the question: there's no vanilla way to change the name, changing the character save file only puts the new name in brackets after the old name on the title screen and doesn't show at all once you're actually playing
#mods-issues might be able to help with renaming.
making a new character is also an option

[graceful ferry]

Can I drop all my stuff and come back and pick it up? In a stash

[frail cave]

yes

skills won't carry over but if you really want to, you can get those up to speed with commands

[graceful ferry]

We are only 1 hour in its fine

[frosty frost]

Tho it should really not matter this early 🙂

[graceful ferry]

Can I bork/bug out the Munin/hugin tutorial by skipping steps?

I ran straight to our house and it did a bunch of later steps

[true steeple]

The messages show when you go to the right place or perform a certain action, there is no specific order to receive them in

[graceful ferry]

Ahh good. Cause I skipped the first 4 steps 😄

[mighty ruin]

actually have a question, there's no way to reset tod once you tod right

[frail cave]

tod -1 resets it

[mighty ruin]

thanks ❤️

[graceful ferry]

Do I need a better axe to cut Birch or higher level in wood cutting?

[mighty ruin]

Axe ^^

[true steeple]

You need an axe from the second biome's materials

[graceful ferry]

When I repair items on the workbench how do I select a specific item to repair? I clicked on the axe, but it repaired all the others before it got to axe :<

[frosty frost]

You just click on the hammer repetedly 🙂

[true steeple]

The only way to repair specific items is by throwing everything out, but why don't you want to repair everything?

[graceful ferry]

It doesnt cost resources to repair?

[mighty ruin]

Nuh

[true steeple]

Repairing items and build pieces is both completely free

[mighty ruin]

The only thing you can't repair is the torch because it "burns out" so you'd need to recraft if you ever need one

[frosty frost]

On the other hand you need quite a bit of resources to make the gear in the first place 🙂 so free repairs balance that out

[graceful ferry]

Does the map become unblurry at some point?

[lilac coyote]

Is the map ever blurry?

[frosty frost]

It is pixelated by design if you mean that 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Looks fine.

[graceful ferry]

My brain took it as the map was undiscovered since blurry/pixelated

[frosty frost]

No no, the blueish fog parts are undiscovered 🙂

[tired root]

Fog of war, as it's usually called. The undiscovered areas.

As you go around you will discover more of your map. You can also add your own marks there.

[graceful ferry]

I get what fog of war is :< Just thought the maps pixel style was an indicator of something :<

[frosty frost]

Just an artistic choice 🙂

[tired root]

Fair, was a bit unclear what you meant.

[graceful ferry]

Just got "World saves in 30 sec" Can I set how often it saves?

[tired root]

I think it autosaves every 30 minutes, but you can also save manually.

[graceful ferry]

This isnt a thing anymore is it?

[tired root]

Seems to be 4 year old video. Probably fixed long ago.

[tired root]

I think https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might have people who can answer that better.

[warped basin]

i need help from a veteran player, please anybody...

[manic mango]

Beds should be named like this: "A bed. Owner: VikingNose'" or whatever nick the player uses. VikingNose is just and example.

But the current way the bed and its owner messes up at least some lozalizations like Finnish. If my character is named Jaakko, then the game uses English rules meanin game says "Jaakko's Bed" which is English way to say it, but it is not correct Finnish. Finnish version shoul say "Jaakon sänky". But that means when owned items are added into the worl, the name changes a bit, depending where it is used, This turns into a headcahe real fast. I recommend simpler way like I explained above which is very hard to implement especiallyt if tdecs donn speak English.

I have characters like Catnose and Kissankuono, the latter means about the same, but game uses the bed naming wrong with both, since if i use finnish, it should use finnish grammar. Meaning Catnosen sänky and Kissankuonon sänky.

That "Owner" is easy solution since you dont need to modify the name which is haaaard if you dont know Finnish, and it is not always the same logic.

[graceful ferry]

Are you high? :>

[manic mango]

What? No 🙂

That is real finnish grammar. Words are modied like that when referring to ownership

[graceful ferry]

My issue was I created my character as Wboop. But the name ingame was randomly capitalized so it ended up like wBoOpP

[manic mango]

Yeah I know. But I pointed out another unrelated issue since I saw an opportunity for it

[twilit cedar]

is it possible to build over lava?

[drowsy crane]

Absolutely 🤘

[subtle parrot]

Yes, you need to use the metal from ashlands

[drowsy crane]

Grausten/Stone/Marble also works

Those will only burn with Fallen Valkyrie fire

[manic mango]

Any thought on this @lapis terrace? Current English translation brings in some grammar problems into some situations like that. Should be easy to fix to Finnish localization.

Man i am tired now. Been cleaning, organizing and packing apartment for three days.

[lapis terrace]

actually people don't know old english words that we use alot

we get SO many reports on old words

[manic mango]

Well what I meant that in the Finnish translation, replace the English translation with description and owner name separate like I typed. Otherwise there are going to be errors in the Finnish localization since it cant be translated like that. Finnish words don't "bend" that way especially when referring to ownership. There would be huge amount of Finnish First or Last names needing translation.

Now I got to go sleep, I don't remember when I was feeling this tired.

[lapis terrace]

ah

The finnish translation is... community translated

either join the team

or complain on our website

[manic mango]

Well, I did send a request to join by email as you instructed, and then received a reply, and answered to that email. Strange. No response to that.

Anyway, i go sleep now.

[lapis terrace]

yeah. it's like 3am for you 😄

[twilit cedar]

everything keeps burning

[drowsy crane]

What material are you using

[twilit cedar]

wood and stone

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, if you read up, you can only use metal, stone, marble and grausten. No wood

[twilit cedar]

yeah but stone is destroyed when placed on lava

[drowsy crane]

Oh really, sorry I did just assume it would work. Maybe Grausten?

[twilit cedar]

nope

it just melts

[drowsy crane]

Interesting, the flametal pillars might work, but that'd just be pillars and nothing else lol

[twilit cedar]

yes they do. cool. thank you for the help mate.

[drowsy crane]

Haha no worries, it's been a journey

[long umbra]

hi guys i need some help about Haldor

anyone has a photos of any info?

[quaint escarp]

Anybody?

[long umbra]

how to find this guy

[lilac coyote]

Haldor can be found in the Black Forest from 1500m out from the centre of the map. So the best way to find him is to sail round as many islands as you can and the detection range is such that he should appear on your map without you needing to set foot on land.

[long umbra]

should i be close the the land while im traveling?

[lilac coyote]

Ideally, yes.

[long umbra]

do we have any photo of the 1500M?

so i can have an idea

[lilac coyote]

Photo? I'm confused.

[long umbra]

like. how much is it 1500m on the map

so i can compare it

[lilac coyote]

The map is 10500m from centre to edge, so it's roughly 10% of the way.

[long umbra]

okay thanks

[verbal ibex]

15%?

[frail cave]

For a world save, does the .fwl file ever change?

For example, if i transfer a save back and forth between machines to run locally, do i need to continue transferring the .fwl file alongside the .db file?

[quaint escarp]

Can anyone help with beta missing issue?

[obtuse cradle]

I have a question, so I've given Hildir a brass chest, a silver chest, and a bronze chest but there's still more POIs marked on the map i havent been to, will i get more and new things if i get the chests in the POIs i haven't visited?

[buoyant peak]

No

[subtle parrot]

No, but you can use the chests as decorations

[frail cave]

will tamed wolves run away if i just let gate open all the time??

right now they're spassing out cus greydwarfs on other side of fence

[mighty ruin]

They can run away and even break the structure if the enemey gets too close, try and leave even more space with another wall so enemies don't aggro them

[frail cave]

hmmm

not quite the answer i hoped for :/

ty tho :)

[mighty ruin]

Can put some fires around, graydwarves don't like them and deaggro so they won't get too near

[frail cave]

yes ty.. i have done just exactly that :)

those hanging braziers.. hopefully i havent put them too high tho.

[crude raven]

should i launch valheim with vulkan or normal

[ebon marsh]

Try both and see which one gives you better performance

[haughty cradle]

hey i just started a new game and i got copper made some bars but i get no recipes for any gear or weeapons i only got buchers knife am i bugged?

[tired root]

You have acquired copper and tin? You need to make bronze out of them.

[haughty cradle]

oh right yeah i got tin aswell

that worked my brain forgot to brain xD

[tired root]

It happens.

[twilit cedar]

i cant mine this stone. why?

it cant be destroyed

i cant nuke/destory it with a trollstav.

[unkempt jewel]

is BlackMetal atm the best material for tools like pickaxe and axe?

[frosty frost]

For pickaxe yes

Tho that is technically mistlands tier

[unkempt jewel]

so blackmetal is the best for the pickaxe, and whats the best for axes?

[thorn spire]

Berserkir axes.

[frosty frost]

There are 2 better axes after the blackmetal one

[unkempt jewel]

is it worth then to upgrade ur blackmetal axe then?

[thorn spire]

Looks like it may be part of a dungeon. Can’t break those.

[frosty frost]

For the berserkir ones yep, for the mistlands one, not really

[twilit cedar]

it isnt its just a rock

[frosty frost]

It seems it takes dmg tho

[twilit cedar]

yes it does

[daring idol]

yes, but it has 10k hp

[frosty frost]

Then it is matter of time 🙂

[twilit cedar]

how do i get black forge tier 6?

[vapid warren]

you dont

[frosty frost]

At least not yet 🙂 we will see what comes in the future

[tame plank]

I’ve tried to go on like 4 Valheim servers and they all say failed to connect

[subtle parrot]

There are no open servers for valheim, you need to know the host to join

[tame plank]

That explains a lot

[formal escarp]

Me and my friend playing rn and he got disconnected while fighting and now all his loot is gone somehow if i reroll the safe will that give his items back or does he need to load a backup

[tired root]

I believe he needs to load a previous backup.

[subtle parrot]

His character save is not tied to your world save

[formal escarp]

well his back up is 2 hours old so

ig we will need to cheat in his items bc farming that mutch what we did in last 2 hours would be a pain

[long umbra]

Am i inside the 1500M? 😭

how can i know how much is 1500m

[frosty frost]

The radius is 10500m, that may give you some idea 🙂

[long umbra]

@frosty frosti have no idea 😦 XD

so kinda like this?

[finite yoke]

doing some quick measurements you are about 1500 away from world center

[frosty frost]

The distance the Hildir and Bog witch are at is more than enough for Haldor 🙂

[long umbra]

oh so Hildir is even closer?!

[frosty frost]

Eh? No, Haldor can be closer than the 2 you already found

[edgy arrow]

Is it normal for there to be so much fog? Is there an option to disable it or reduce the amount?

[long umbra]

im thinking its a triangle XD

[frosty frost]

There is no rule that says it has to be like that 🙂

[long umbra]

found that MFFFFF XD

imagine tho, if he is actually there XD

[frosty frost]

Can be possibly 🙂

[long umbra]

its okay like this? or i have to walk inside the forest?

[finite yoke]

There is a weather called fog, which reduces visibility

[frail cave]

most likely that's okay

[finite yoke]

it's completely normal

[long umbra]

okay thanks

[scenic seal]

Seem to be having issues with crossplay. Microsoft accounts not being able to connect to steam world. Crossplay is enabled on world

[sturdy hull]

Anyone wanna help me build this bridge?

[graceful ferry]

Can I upgrade my storage (chest)?

[frosty frost]

Eventually, how far are you in?

[graceful ferry]

Not even past the first zone we are having fun 😄

[frosty frost]

Ah, then you have a bit to go to first possible upgrade 🙂 one BIG upgrade is in 3rd biome but you can find a ||merchant|| in second biome that will enable you to make a slightly better storage piece than you have now. However it is not guaranteed you will find it before the third biome.

[graceful ferry]

Can food become "stale" if left cooked for too long?

[frosty frost]

Nope 🙂 you dont have to worry about that

[sturdy hull]

Don’t let it cook too long or it turns into coal

[graceful ferry]

Yup. Thats how We got our signs 😄

Last thing :d So when we cook it says E for cook and then 1-8 Cook Item. But if I press 1-8 it just cycles through my weapons?

[frosty frost]

If you have items that can be cooked in a hotbar you should be able to select which one ill you put on there by using the numbers 🙂

[graceful ferry]

Ahh like that

[frosty frost]

Tho i never used it like that so take this with a grain of salt 😄

[graceful ferry]

Do we need to kill the bosses twice to both get a Trophy? Or can we continue with 1?

[frosty frost]

You only need 1, any more can be used for decoration tho 🙂 (Dont forget to hang it at spawn 😉 )

[graceful ferry]

I thought I had to turn it in at the stone?

[loud rapids]

Yes, doing so is global to the world

nobody else will need to hang one up

[graceful ferry]

Good. Just didnt wanna halt my partners progress

[frosty frost]

Yep, you hang it there and then both of you can get its power by clicking on it 🙂

[graceful ferry]

And we can return again and again to get the power or is it a perm buff?

[frosty frost]

Its permanent 😄

[finite yoke]

You select it once and then you can use it every 15 minutes without requiring you to return to the stones after each use

[graceful ferry]

Gotcha, thanks

[frosty frost]

Every 20 minutes, but it has 5 minute duration. 🙂 (I know its efectively pretty much the same but i want to be accurate 🙂 )

[graceful ferry]

Do we then later have to choce between buffs or are they all gonna stack?

[finite yoke]

choose.

you can have one selected at a time

[graceful ferry]

Is there a noticable performance increase going from hosted server on my PC? To a real server?

[frosty frost]

Wouldnt say so, most important thing is connection

[graceful ferry]

So even if I started the server its hosted remotely? Not on my PC?

[frosty frost]

Oh if you host it is hosted on your pc.

[graceful ferry]

Yup. Was wondering if getting a dedicated server would "feel" any different :d Im coming from +30 years of shooters. So it doesnt feel 100% snappy when I am shooting my arrows. Might be a me issue or the server running less than optimal from my PC

[true steeple]

There is a bit of delay to shooting

[frosty frost]

Also if your friend goes into a zone before you lots of data will go through him, so it can cause a bit of lag if there is not a really good connection

[graceful ferry]

We are LAN

Gamer couple 🤣

[frosty frost]

That is basically the best case scenario 🙂 so i really wouldnt go with dedicated hosted somewhere else

[vital mica]

Yall where should i build my base?

[frosty frost]

Meadows 🙂 thats the safest option

[vital mica]

I just find it quite hard to build there with the terrain :c

[true steeple]

Meadows has neck ponds so it's best

[tired root]

Use hoe and pickaxe to shape the terrain for your liking.

[vital mica]

Oke

[graceful ferry]

How long does dropped stuff stay?

[frosty frost]

2 in game days (1 irl hour)

If not protected by player base item

[graceful ferry]

So it make sense to build a base in Meadows and keep coming back even after moving to other biomes?

[true steeple]

It's common to move to the fifth biome once you progress enough

[frosty frost]

Oh yes, you will get a way to travel very fast later 🙂

[graceful ferry]

Cause we build a small base thinking we would be moving soonish as we move through biomes.

[true steeple]

There's nothing wrong with making a new base in a later biome, it's just not necessary

[frosty frost]

Eh, i would say its around 50/50 between meadows and 5th biome dwellers 🙂

[graceful ferry]

Im looking at the wiki, is there no full map of the world?

[true steeple]

The world is procedurally generated and by default uses a random seed

[graceful ferry]

So one world can have Black Forest North and one south of starting zone?

[true steeple]

Yes

[frosty frost]

If you want to look at yours there is a site for that but i would advise against that, its much more fun to explore on your own the first time imho 🙂

[graceful ferry]

So when you lose 5% on death. Is that on ALL skills? And can you de-level? Or does it stop at say 38 if you started dying at 38.8?

[jade olive]

For some reason in my head I thought stones you pick up respawn after a long time. Is that a thing or am I being a goofball?

[frosty frost]

Yep, on all skills

[jade olive]

Yes its for everything and yep you can go back down to 0 if you do nothing.

[tired root]

You can adjust death penalty from world modifiers on main menu when choosing world.

2 of the easiest options have only 1% skill drop.

[frosty frost]

No they dont 🙂

[knotty light]

You lose five percent of the skill, so if you have a skill at 20 you lose one level, and all the progress towards the next level

So going down to 0 is difficult

But if there are skills you rarely use, like fishing and riding, those can go down while you play and never use them. But then again if you never level those high up anyway, you won’t see a change

[graceful ferry]

Gotcha. Cheers all for help 🥹

[carmine talon]

was there a hidden update to the game?

because for some reason now my character doesnt turn when i attack things. like i can face my camera backwards and attack forwards

i swear it used to turn your character before

[tired root]

Any mods in use?

[carmine talon]

nope, pure vanilla

[frosty frost]

Update with something like this has been released quite some time ago, but certainly not a recent change

[carmine talon]

really? could have sworn it was not like that yesterday lol. because i started playing today and something just instantly felt off

[frosty frost]

Have you messed with settings?

You could try to reset them to default

[carmine talon]

naw literally just booted up the game same as usual

aha your right! somehow this got turned on but i swear i didnt touch it

maybe i clicked by accident

[frosty frost]

Well, at least its taken care of 😄

[carmine talon]

yep, thanks lol. i didnt even know this setting existed

[frosty frost]

It has been here for at least a year i think, but not really sure 🙂

[carmine talon]

dang lol. i guess ive just had it off all this time haha

im guessing i probably clicked it when switching between screens most likely

[frosty frost]

I pretty much never mess with settings other than graphics 😄 (well, language, but thats it)

[ionic ridge]

If I may ask, what is the appropriate channel to discuss crashing issues?

[frosty frost]

Probably here or if its mod related then #mods-issues 🙂

[ionic ridge]

My game is vanilla and crashes randomly. My OS is Linux OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I found what seems like a crash related log file if that helps.

[tired root]

Maybe https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202598415834288128

[frosty frost]

Ah, i don't know pretty much anything about Linux sadly so someone else will have to help you, and you can also post this in the channel Joel linked 😄

[ionic ridge]

I didn't know there was a linux channel. Thank you!

[tired root]

I also didn't remember until you asked lol. You're welcome.

[charred monolith]

help guys im getting a unity crash after updating game handler for valheim in nucleus, we used to play and not crash but everytime we lock inputs valheim crashes, does anybody know a fix?

[true steeple]

So you’re playing with mods? Have they all been updated since the recent patch?

[charred monolith]

no, no mods at all

[true steeple]

Sorry, I didn’t know what nucleus was. I don’t know how to help with this

[charred monolith]

it's all good man it's a co-op splitscreen thirdparty software we use to play together

[true steeple]

What usually helps a unity crash is to delete everything in Valheim’s installation folder and then re-install the game

[charred monolith]

would that take away all our progress? really don't wanna restart we got semi far with full iron gear

[true steeple]

The saves are in a different folder

When did this issue start?

[charred monolith]

after the previous valheim update

[frosty frost]

When was the last time you played? We had an update around 2 weeks ago which could have broken mods and stuff.

[charred monolith]

yea last time we played was 2 weeks ago

[frosty frost]

Then you will probably have to wait for that software to update

[long onyx]

Are there Japanese players?

[lilac coyote]

I'd imagine so.

[frosty frost]

Quite likely some 🙂 if you want to play with some you can make a post in #1024264966712340510

[long onyx]

ok

Should I look for Japanese players on that channel?

[frosty frost]

Yep, or make your own post there that you are looking for japanese players to play with 🙂

[long onyx]

I see. thanks

[wind leaf]

Should I avoid going to Plains before Mountain

[drowsy crane]

Plains would be challenging in swamps level gear, but very possible to handle.

[wind leaf]

I'm so tired of the golems lol

[frosty frost]

Intended progression is Meadows, Black Forest, Swamp, Mountains, Plains, Mistlands, Ashlands, Deep North

[wind leaf]

Hm suddenly they're so much easier to kill. When I play solo the difficulty is quite a bit lower I think?

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, enemy health will scale with the amount of players nearby.

[wind leaf]

I was playing with just one friend and it was like three times tougher

[drowsy crane]

I believe it's +30% per player nearby.

They also deal slightly more damage.

[wind leaf]

Ok

[mild sun]

can someone tell me why my floors keep breaking? I did beams from the basement but they keep breaking on second level

[snow marsh]

Looks like it's just the limit of the support, support is rather simplistic, and uses distance from ground with modifiers from the structures you're building off of (essentially.)

Core wood beams solve your issue short term, here, but won't necessarily help with the roof when you work on that.

I suggest making small structures a bunch of times and experimenting to get a feel for what kind of structures work with which materials.

[steady seal]

Is the frostner a better weapon than the mistwalker in ashlands? Since it does more frost and spirit dmg

[ebon marsh]

Unfortunately no

[true steeple]

No, but the silver sword is better than mistwalker against charred with less stamina cost too

[ebon marsh]

The frostner is better for taking less hits against groups of charred tho with the knockback, but plain damage I’m pretty sure Mistwalker beats it out

Although now that I think about it they’re weak to blunt so I’m not too sure

[true steeple]

Charred are not weak to blunt

[ebon marsh]

Whoops

Mistwalker for sure then

[steady seal]

It's so hard to pick a weapon for ash, too many options and strategies. Doesn't help that I can't parry a single one of these guys lol

[ebon marsh]

What’s ur max health

[true steeple]

Dodging is always an option, lightfoot mead and feather cape make it very difficult to actually get hit

[steady seal]

usually around 200

[ebon marsh]

200 and 80+ defence you should be able to parry most if not all the no star enemies

[steady seal]

Is the feather cape worth it though? I already have the ashen cape unlocked and the weakness to fire is pretty daunting

[ebon marsh]

Fire resistance wine

[true steeple]

Fire resistance barley wine overrides the fire weakness so you will be resistant while wearing the cape

[steady seal]

No I just cant time it it's not my gear lol

[ebon marsh]

But ashen cape is really good too both can work

Spam parry button don’t hold

If you press it twice for the warriors you should be able to get it

[steady seal]

All of the enemies here have confusing attack animations it's difficult for me

[true steeple]

You can tell if a charred warrior is going to feint or not by the sound but it takes a bit of practice

[ebon marsh]

More reliable to just click parry a few times while you figure it out tho

[steady seal]

Alright thanks, any tips for morgens?

[ebon marsh]

Himminafl and if there’s a lot of enemies around try to manipulate his attacks to crash into them

[true steeple]

Don't get stuck on their legs. Someone thought it was a good idea to give them separate colliders

Also their swipe attack has a short hitbox and can be jumped easily, and since it has 0 turnspeed you're free to hit their sides and back during this attack

[steady seal]

Oh damn lol. What enemies can the himminafl parry, it seemed a tiny bit inconsistent both here and in mist

With the swing attack

[ebon marsh]

Depends on skill level

[true steeple]

The secondary attack is not a parry?

[ebon marsh]

Overall if you hit two the second should stagger

[true steeple]

Parrying staggers an enemy, stagger doesn't parry an enemy

[ebon marsh]

Yeh I get what he meant tho

[steady seal]

Oh I meant stagger

[ebon marsh]

The end result is the enemy is staggered and takes twice damage

[steady seal]

Yeah

I've been using polearms since the bronze age but I lost a good chuck of all my skill levels struggling in ash lol

[tired root]

Himminafl is good because Morgen are weak against lightning, which Himminafl has good amount of.

[true steeple]

The secondary attack doesn't do any extra damage though, which is why I prefer a sword

[tired root]

True, but after staggering it you can constantly stagger it again by keeping attacking, like this: #memes-and-clips message

[finite fern]

What is this note for valheim? if my mothers pc is turned on but why? we both have valheim but different steam accounts but are using same network i never noticed this until now, is there way turn this off?

[drowsy patio]

If I install mods on my game, will my friends automatically download the mods installed or do they have to manually download them aswell?

[true steeple]

You can just ignore it and continue installation as normal
It's telling you something you can do, not what it is already doing

[finite fern]

yea i just dnt know why its showing up at all which is why im confused

not sure if its a setting in steam or something

[frosty frost]

Another device in the same network already has Valheim installed (and i assume you are also in Steam family) so you don't need to download and instal it from Steam servers but can "copy" it from the other device thus saving bandwidth. (At least that Is how i think it works)

[finite fern]

but that feature isnt even on, the steam family, if its turned on for her pc will that stilll trigger it?

[neat rune]

i want to upgrade my troll armor nd dungeon explore but this piece of land is covere around with water, if i go top nd come back, it takes entire day from my home base. What should ido

make another base at top? but i made my base nicely

[willow raft]

Eventually you will get the means to connect one spot to another spot and travel from one to the other in an instant.

[neat rune]

hmm ok i should aim for that now

[willow raft]

You will need to head into the black forest and find the dungeons there.

Once you have collected at least 1 of each ingredient needed it will unlock.

[neat rune]

aah sounds simple coz 1 item only

[meager token]

Hi everyone! Question!

I'm trying to craft a poison mead because I'm getting ready to take on bonemass soon....
I go to the cauldron and the poison mead base isn't available.. it's not even on the list. What am I doing wrong?

[stoic trench]

Craft yourself a mead kettle 🙂

[meager token]

okay I have one of those

this article online said to craft it in the cauldron and I feel like I remember making them in the cauldron before.. but it starts in the mead ketill.. okay!

[true steeple]

The mead ketill was added recently

[meager token]

Ohhhh

Okay! I found it and got it made. Thanks everyone!

[prime sapphire]

is there a reason for cultivating flax from... flax?

[severe hill]

plant flax, get two flax in return

[prime sapphire]

that's a good deal then, thank you

[meager token]

how many poison meads should I make for my fight with bonemass?

[stoic trench]

One base nets you 6, which is usually plenty

[meager token]

Okay! I might make 2 then (so I'll have 12) just to be on the safe side 😅
I'd rather be overly prepared than not prepared enough

[stoic trench]

That’s usually what I do as well! Good luck!

[meager token]

Thank you! 😄

[tired root]

There is only one exception: ||Berserkir mead base|| produces 3 instead of 6.

[fathom badge]

Each one lasts 10 minutes, so you've got an hour's worth of poison resist each batch 😉 The root helmet resists poison as well, but not as strongly as the potion so even if you've got the helm it's worth drinking the mead

[meager token]

an hour's worth.. haha you're right! I shouldn't be fighting bonemass for more than an hour

if I am something is wrong xD

[fathom badge]

I'd also recommend some healing and maybe stamina meads as well, they can come in clutch

[meager token]

that's not a bad idea either @fathom badge

especially since I'm going at this alone and I've coined the term "imperfect gamer" for myself lol because I'm not very good but man do I try my hardest 😄

[strange quartz]

how do i make a pulling card?

[true steeple]

Do you mean a cart? Bronze nails

[strange quartz]

yes my english is not the best

how do i get bronze

[true steeple]

Mine copper and tin from a black forest, smelt them, then craft them together at a forge

[strange quartz]

ok thx

[fathom badge]

Make sure you make at least one of each tool and piece you can, they often unlock other recipes. Weapons and armor you don't need to make all of those.

[sharp moat]

hello, ı need help

[fathom badge]

Ask what you need, we'll see what we can do

[sharp moat]

ı need a moder checkpoint world save

ı lose my all file, ı get new pc

[fathom badge]

Valheim by default should save all worlds to the cloud unless you disabled it. Is it not there?

[sharp moat]

ı dont use another pc, ıts so slowly

so ı close ıt

u have mıd-game checkpoint world save?

bonemass or moder, bec ı dont kıll moder

and ı dont lıke use cheat, so ı need a checkpoint world save

[fathom badge]

Do you have a character as well? Characters grow with the world, and a checkpoint world without a character won't be very helpful. My recommendation would be to just restart. You'll likely be able to do things faster since you know better how it works now.

[sharp moat]

but it's going to take a long time.

[lilac coyote]

Then just spawn everything in.

[sharp moat]

I just don't want to deal with building houses, I can't enjoy the game.

[lilac coyote]

Then reuse existing structures. Or only build what you absolutely need.

[fathom badge]

A utilitarian box house only takes like 10 minutes to build at most, especially if you spawn in the materials, and there are even structures you can spawn if you look them up. Either way, this isn't really topical for the help channel, this isn't a place to ask for save files, it's for help with bugs or gameplay problems you run into while playing.

[stoic trench]

Can also utilize world modifiers; speed up getting resources, build for, stuff like that. At least until the point where you were on your previous world.

[sharp moat]

I found a save close to my own log file, thanks anyway

[timid mirage]

is there a way to turn off portal item restrictions from a server by console ?

[native lichen]

Hi guys, I'm getting the issue with hosting a server on one machine, connecting with 1-2 friends externally from another LAN machine using external address, and my entire internet becoming unstable and crashing. I tried lowering the browser ping to 500 without fixing the issue, where can I find other suggestions?

oh realized there's a dedicated server channel, posted there as well

[deft harbor]

Can leviathans disappear without me hitting their barnacles?

[lilac coyote]

Shoudln't do.

[deft harbor]

Ok cool

Just found one, but didn't want to harvest yet, thanks!

[rare vortex]

anyone know how to send friends the world files? or import the sent files to my game?

my friend is quitting the server and i wanna keep the world we have just finished fader

[lilac coyote]

Email? Dropbox? Google Drive? Any other way you can think of to share files really.

[rare vortex]

he already sent me the files but when i put it into the worlds file it doesnt work

[lilac coyote]

Do you have both the fwl and db files for the world? And they're both dated the same?

[rare vortex]

the top 3 are the ones he sent

[lilac coyote]

So you haven't copied the world files then.

Looks like he was saving the world to the cloud so he'll need to get them switched to local and then he can send you the fwl and db files.

[rare vortex]

do these do anything or nah?

cuz if not im just gonna delete them

[lilac coyote]

They're of no use to you, no.

[rare vortex]

ok waiting for my friend to send the files now

[frosty frost]

You need the 2 files that end .fwl and .db

[rare vortex]

the files are too big to send on dc cuz he has no nitro

[frosty frost]

Tell him to send it through email

[rare vortex]

hes working on it

old people man

(hes 4 years older than me)

he sent them all but

when i download the one with .db

i cant see it on the 'dowloaded' page

@frosty frost ?

[frosty frost]

Sorry i have no idea why you dont see it there if you downloaded it, try to go to browsers download section and open it through that maybe?

[rare vortex]

its nowhere

i searched every folder and even though it said that i dowloaded it

[lilac coyote]

Could be a hidden files / folders issue?

[rare vortex]

idk

[lilac coyote]

So it's literally the top file...

[rare vortex]

finally got the db but this is the issue i get now

[lilac coyote]

Your FWL file has a different name to the DB one, are they definitely the correct pair?

[rare vortex]

pretty sure they are yea

idk why this is taking this long

[compact heath]

is the db called DarkandDarker.db.db or something

[compact heath]

they are meant to be in worlds_local

[lilac coyote]

You still don't have the files you need despite the instructions. That's making it take longer to sort out.

[rare vortex]

would you be down to go on a vc to see what im doing wrong

cuz i feel like im doing everything right but its just not working

[compact heath]

did you put .db and .fwl in the worlds_local folder?

[rare vortex]

yes

[lilac coyote]

And they're both named the same?

[rare vortex]

the top on is .db but its just not showing

[compact heath]

and the names match as Derek said?

[lilac coyote]

Hm, that does look about right.

[compact heath]

is the fwl maybe named fwl.fwl normally it doesnt show it behind it

[lilac coyote]

Oh, yes, that's weird. Well spotted.

[rare vortex]

ok changed the fwl to no fwl

[compact heath]

it either shows extensions after both files or none, not just one out of 2, that is odd

[rare vortex]

im just gonna delete everything and put them back in real quick

[compact heath]

normally you would not have to do anything with the files after download, just stick them the right folder

[rare vortex]

ok

[compact heath]

I just helped someone do that with last seasons files from our server the other day

[rare vortex]

deleted everything both world folders are empty as i started

[compact heath]

if it was a dedicated server and the person "downloaded" it from a client and send it to you, it might not work, if dedicated server hosted by 3rd party the person sending you the files needs to use FTP client to get the files correctly downloaded most of the time

[rare vortex]

this is weird cuz the fwl file is dowloading with no issues

but the .db one does this

[compact heath]

seems to me something wrong with download

[rare vortex]

it was a dedicated server hosted by my friend

[compact heath]

on his PC or 3rd party?

[rare vortex]

just pc

he created the world and we joined him

[compact heath]

that should be failry easy then if he sent it to you correctly

[rare vortex]

these are the 2 files he sent

[compact heath]

looks okay so far

[rare vortex]

like i said im following all the instrucitons accordingly and its just not working

i have no clue what im doing wrong

[compact heath]

did he send on discord?

[rare vortex]

yes and from whatsapp aswell

[compact heath]

I might be out of ideas, I use discord when I sent server files to players too after we start a new map, no issues so far, I also test it myself

[rare vortex]

i am supposed to send them to worlds_local file correct?

[compact heath]

yes, copy them from your downloads folder and paste them in there

they have to be unzipped if they compressed too etc

[rare vortex]

ok

[rare vortex]

they are the same size as the ones he sent

[compact heath]

I don't know why there is 3

[rare vortex]

launching game

wait...

YEES

[compact heath]

there should be only 2, a smaller fwl and the bigger .db

no idea which one is the wrong fwl one

[rare vortex]

the one that doesnt have .fwl on it is the wrong one

[compact heath]

then it should work if you delete that from the folder presumably

[rare vortex]

just did fader aswell

[rare vortex]

its working i deleted the file

ty for the help

the first files i put in were just being hard to get i guess just didnt wanna work

legit put the same thing he sent and 4th times the charm

[compact heath]

great that it works now

[nova radish]

can anyone let me know the command for spawning in items?

[lilac coyote]

Spawn.

[nova radish]

tried that, said spawn is not valid in current context

[lilac coyote]

Do you have devcommands actually enabled?

[nova radish]

-console in the startup

[lilac coyote]

And typed 'devcommands'?

[nova radish]

no

[lilac coyote]

That would be it then.

[nova radish]

got it thank you

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console has some more help for you.

[nova radish]

tysm

[lilac coyote]

And https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs has a list of nearly all of the Item IDs.

[timid thunder]

is there way to rename my character? i mispelled its name and only noticed after i already progresed bunch

character save is local, not on cloud

[drowsy crane]

You could always mark down your skill progress, make a new character and alter your skill levels through the console. There's also the option of using a save editor(not advised tbh, isn't supported and could be malicious). I'm sure there's ways to manually change your character's name in the files, but I've no clue how personally.

[compact heath]

Just test it, make a backup of the file, (its only 1 file) and then put that somewhere safe, rename the other one and see what it looks like ingame

[severe hill]

there is this mod that adds an edit button to your character select screen https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/650. it includes the ability to change your character's name

[compact heath]

if it stops the char working replace with backup, or it might not actually rename the character, but worth a try at least, I wanted to try that at some stage but havent done it yet ever

[drowsy crane]

Just from a little bit of googling, it seems changing the character's file name won't change their name in-game. Though it's a reddit post from a year ago so, possibly outdated info.

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, changing the filename will just break the character file.

[compact heath]

then I'd just use the workaround, new character, copy the skills levels with devcommands, will take a bit depending on which skills you need, and you can also nocostcraft equipment, picking up some things to relearn recipes, will take a little time but will 100% work

[drowsy crane]

Yeah this is the best way imo

[teal river]

hi, I'm having a problem with an xbox server not showing the crossplay option. does it have to be a new server for it to show?

[compact heath]

crossplay is just a setting that can be turned on or off, if you're hosting it you'll be able to change it, not sure about more specifics about your case

[teal river]

Okay ty, the person is on xbox an I'm on pc for steam and for me when I start one it shows the cross play option but it not showing here for the Xbox server I including a pic

@compact heath

[compact heath]

Not sure, don't have an xbox myself but I play with xbox players on my servers. Maybe it will automatically always enable crossplay on the console like that, not sure

[teal river]

okay thank you

[timid thunder]

well, i may just store all gear, then make new char with correct name and take gear, skills building back would take time. also i don't know commands to adjust skill levels, and even forgot how to use dev console (for this spcecific game)

[sand flame]

yo, having some issues with the Food preparation table. im not able to make raw fish if anyone know why and have a solution maybe?

[tired root]

Have you picked any fish in your inventory?

If you don't have the recipe for making raw fish in preparation table you need to pick any fish.

[sand flame]

yes i have the recipe and fish but the table dont register that i have them so cant craft it thats the issue

[tired root]

Do you have any mods? They can sometimes mess things up unpredictably.

[tired root]

You could ask from https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966.

[deft harbor]

I could 😄

woopsy

[tired root]

No worries.

Not the first and probably not the last.

[deft harbor]

[digital bridge]

When playing valheim an i am the host then i do have to save the world manually on my end right?
Same goes for my gf who has to save her char manually when im correct?

[deft harbor]

Characters are separate from the world, and as long as you save a copy of the world, you can load it again later and create server for the other person to join

[digital bridge]

So both people have to hit „esc“ and then the „save“ button manually and frequently yeah?

[deft harbor]

character should be saved automatically on game exit or moving between worlds afaik

hitting save in the menu only saves the world

If you created the world then she wouldnt need to worry about saving

[digital bridge]

Check. I was just wondering since we both started to play yesterday and saw the option to save while doing settings and checking out things.
Thankyou

[deft harbor]

No worries!

[ashen spear]

hello. my game (steam) keeps crashing. my computer - fx-8320, geforce 1050ti, 8Gb RAM.
i noticed that my autosave doesn't work. before patch 0.220.3 autosave worked and the game didn't crash.
what other information is needed?

[tired root]

Is your game vanilla or do you use mods?

[ashen spear]

vanilla

[tired root]

Are you opening your game with DirectX or Vulkan?

[ashen spear]

no vulkan

[tired root]

You could try opening with the other option than what you currently use and if it continues, maybe people here can help, especially with the list of the details of your PC: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220

[ashen spear]

thank you

[deft harbor]

also you can try to verify files on steam too

[ashen spear]

thank you

[neat rune]

can't portal with ores, how do u get around this problem of farming from far and taking to ur home to the forge

[deft harbor]

Boat

[frosty frost]

Boats 😄

[deft harbor]

If you kill moder, his power gives you sailing power 🙂

[frosty frost]

Her* 😉

[deft harbor]

Oh no

Sorry Mrs Moder, didn't mean to misgender you 😄

[frosty frost]

[deft harbor]

[frosty frost]

Moder = Mother 😄

[deft harbor]

ah

That makes total sense

[neat rune]

ohh thank you !

[neat rune]

thanks for info !!

[deft harbor]

If you have iron, I would recommend the longship, much better storage than the karve

[neat rune]

aaah i haven't even killed elder eheheh

[deft harbor]

usually what I do, is I create a smelter base close to the ore, then smelt and transport only smelted metals, much more efficient storage that way

[neat rune]

nice nice sounds good, i will get sailing soon

[frosty frost]

For bronze sure, for later stuff it doesent matter if its smelted or not 🙂

[deft harbor]

true

I guess thats just my jam

[frosty frost]

And you will still want some copper and tin that is not combined

[neat rune]

oh why is that??

[frosty frost]

Because bronze needs 2 copper and 1 tin to make 1 bronze, so you need to transport only 1/3 of the metal you mine, later metals are 1 to 1 ratio so it doesent matter 🙂

[tired root]

Taking forge mats with me in swamps.

[neat rune]

aaah so u just convert it there

[neat rune]

ohhh earlier it can be good idea to smelt there only

[tired root]

I usually take 16 copper and 2 bronze with me to my first swamp trip (enough for forge and 2 upgrades, other mats can be taken throught portal) and set a temporal outpost on top of one sunken crypt, with smelters on side to smelt iron.

[deft harbor]

I usually just stare at the copper ore until it refines itself out of fear

[neat rune]

oh sheesh like full heavy mining session strat ! thanks i will try using it

[neat rune]

what the fudge, haxxx

[deft harbor]

When Chuck Norris hits copper veins, copper metal comes out

[tired root]

Having immediate forge and smelters in swamps make crafting needed equipment quicker than taking everything with you to your main base, and when everything is done I gather the rest to my main base.

[frosty frost]

And drop rate is automaticaly x3 😄

[deft harbor]

"ding ding ding"

[neat rune]

pure aura strat

[neat rune]

hmmm i see okay good idea

[graceful ferry]

Would that be an okay perm low-zone home placement? "Home".

Not sure how the world will generate after this, but its on the edge of Black forest and mountains

[tired root]

No need to worry about game ungenerating your building by itself, that won't happen. All revealed areas (and little bit more over the edge) are generated and won't change even after content patch is added into the game.

[fathom badge]

The downside of being on the edge of the black forest is that trolls can spawn nearby, and they get attracted by noise. The other thing to consider is that you will be hauling a lot of stuff over land if you're planning on making it a main base. I tend to prefer coastal or at least river access so you can use boats for transport of materials.

[graceful ferry]

Thats not what I meant. It was more I dont know where the next biomes will generate, so I wasnt sure our low-zone base was ideal there

[fathom badge]

They generate out in a radius, so you don't have a ton of risk. You know that mountain is there, but you won't get anything but black forest, mountains and meadows until at least 2000m from the world center stones there, IIRC.

[tired root]

Ah okay. Well, you don't need to set a permanent base there yet, you could also make some outposts in different locations.

Some people like to set their permanent base at 5th biome.

[graceful ferry]

New play we are going down to the south tip where Thilde is

[fathom badge]

That'd be my move, or the other side of the river from that so you don't have to cross the river with copper ore.

[tired root]

The area your cursor points would also be good location.

[graceful ferry]

How long into the game are we gonna be before we reach 5th biome?

[marble roost]

It reallyyyyy depends how long it takes you to get there. Hard to say

[graceful ferry]

Like how much higher gear than troll hide do we need to survive there?

[marble roost]

Depends how good at the game you are, I suppose. Veteran players sometimes go there in troll hide, but for most players that's a death sentence. You're supposed to have visited the mountains (4th) and having gear from there before going to Plains (5th)

[fathom badge]

The Root Harnesk makes it mostly survivable, if you avoid fire. At least the major insta-killers of the biome.

[graceful ferry]

So we've tried flatting it with the Hoe, but no matter how much we do it the dirt still shows on the flooor.

[marble roost]

need to use pickaxe. hoe can only flatten to a certain point

[graceful ferry]

Cheers ❤️

[grave sandal]

It had been months since I'd logged in -- before the FIrelands update I had a portal relatively close to the placeholder Firelands biome (when it was still empty). Last time I logged in, I went through that portal. The map had completely re-terraformed and the portal ended up dumping me into ocean.

Trees and other features fell out of the sky around me, landing at the bottom of the sea, and there are many floating islands in the sky. Thing is, I drowned out there and lost all my stuff.

The other day I finally decided to sail back to where I'd died and see if I can recover my stuff, but my tombstone wasn't there. Did the tombstone sink? They're not supposed to. It's just gone along with all my stuff.

[true steeple]

Did you quit the game immediately after dying? This can cause saving problems. You can load a character backup with the manage saves button on character select.

[grave sandal]

It's possible that's what happened yeah. I'll try looking for backups

[mild yew]

is there a way to get to my grave if i died in a dvegr tower where there are probably 10 of them that are near my grave

[true steeple]

There is always a way to get your grave

[mild yew]

i know but this is hard

[late hawk]

are the dvergr angry at you

[mild yew]

yes

[marble roost]

Tough spot to get stuff back from. I usually just run in naked to grab graves, but might be tough depending on where in the tower you died

Alwawys the option of grabbing some old gear or making new gear to fight them with

[grave sandal]

Thanks for teaching me about backups. I got my stuff back

[late hawk]

i would just find some monsters in the surrounding area and let them fight

[mild yew]

can it be seekers?

[late hawk]

yes

[marble roost]

Yes

[true steeple]

They’d probably kill the seeker quickly but it could distract them while you run in

[late hawk]

and seeker soldiers, and gjalls

[marble roost]

lure some seekers or Gjall over to kill or distract the dvergr

[waxen pike]

best way to kill the big tree thing in swamp?

[true steeple]

A slash weapon works best for melee. If you keep it over a surtling spawner you can deal a lot of fire damage very quickly, even faster if it's staggered.

[drowsy crane]

Axes work quite well, it's weak to fire arrows and fire damage, so leading it to a flame geyser that spawn the Surtlings is smart when possible.

[empty flower]

I just captured a wolf
put a bunch of meat. how long till I can capture them? I saw the heart.

how long in real time

[frosty hatch]

hello everyone, i have problem maybe someone can help me here. I play with my bf valheim, we played for about 100 days in valheim, but for some reason he can't connect to me anymore while i'm hosting game. we have same version and updated game, and have same router

[empty flower]

Will it say if I tamed a wolf? I think its pass 30 mins

[gritty warren]

Try eating some foods at home, try getting in undetected, preferably use a bunch of stamina foods to make it easier and a boss buff, try dodging all attacks

[gritty warren]

You need to be within 64 meters and make sure it’s fed, takes 30 minutes to finish a tame. And yes, it does say when you finally tamed it.

[smoky acorn]

Playing in Crossplay mode or direct (Steam)? You may need to remove the favorites/recent entries for the server, exit the game, restart it and re-create an entry for connecting to the server.

If either side or the dedicated server is using mods, you'd need to check each mod's documentation and/or news for compatibility with the latest release.

[frosty hatch]

Thank you, i didn't see i clicked multiplatform 🙂

[waxen pike]

in your guys opinion, should i get iron or root armor? im playing with mace and small shield

[tired root]

Depends on your playstyle. You could also mix.

My usual equipment at the end of swamps are ||iron helmet, root harnesk and troll trousers||.

Full root armor is good if you play more archery style.

[fathom badge]

Why the ||troll trousers||? They don't provide any benefit speed wise or anything over the ||root pants||, and they provide less armor.

[frosty frost]

Maybe for having to hunt less aboms?

[grand whale]

Yo knife's piercing and slashing damage combines right?
Like 23 slash 23 pierce will be 46 per hit?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[grand whale]

Damn that's actually kinda insane considering it's pre-elder.

[fathom badge]

Depends on how much you like your movement. I personally prefer lighter armor, especially in the swamp, because your stamina is already at a premium with always being wet. Min/max with movement and most armor is iron helm and the rest root, but you miss the archery bonus of the root set then.

[fathom badge]

It's technically the swamp-level knife. The black forest knife is the copper knife.

[frosty frost]

It just splits the total value it has between 2 different dmg types, the total dmg is comparable to other weapons in its tier
