Ashlands dungeons 🙂

[rocky shale]

and is it just me or ashland are very, very difficult? Its like I missed an entire biom with armor before going to ashland

[cold crater]

My furthest world got inactive right before visiting a ashlands dungeon:(

[rocky shale]

even if I'm full armor of mistland I am getting destroyed

[ripe sage]

It's very sad, but the copper never fell.

[rocky shale]

how did you have the patience to mine ALL THAT and not that little iron vein 😭

[frosty frost]

It is and its supposed to 🙂 (And actually its quite peaceful now compared to how it used to be in early ptb 😄 )

[rocky shale]

😰

[steep tusk]

It used to be better 😭

[frosty frost]

You were told to prepare for war 😄

[steep tusk]

People got to used to how peaceful the Mistlands was and weren't understanding of what war biome should be.

[rocky shale]

mistland ? peaceful?

[vast token]

mistland is the worst part of the game

[rocky shale]

I had 0 fun playing mistland ngl

[lilac coyote]

Extremely.

What's with these new tags? This isn't a COD lobby.

[rocky shale]

I'm a dev and vaunted is a pro

[steep tusk]

Probs have to ask Smiffe.

[lilac coyote]

Not for this game.

[rocky shale]

who knows

[lilac coyote]

Me.

All of us, really.

[frosty frost]

No purple name = not dev 😄

[rocky shale]

:C

but @vast token is a real pro on this game

[frosty frost]

That i cant confirm nor deny 😄

[vast token]

I'm the valheim's world cup champion

[frosty frost]

That one i can deny xD

[rocky shale]

you are not aware of the valheim world champion tour ? it was in paris last year

[lilac coyote]

We definitely haven't had one of those.

[vast token]

[frosty frost]

Closest to the "valheim's world cup champion" would be the winner of The Trial of Tyr i believe 😄

[vast token]

I'm the winner of The Trial of Tyr too

[frosty frost]

Oh? What is your native language then? 😄

[rocky shale]

see, that @vast token on the final

[lilac coyote]

AI is awful.

[vast token]

The Grand Final was hard to win but I still managed to win

[lilac coyote]

I just don't understand what you get out of making shit up that is easily disprovable? It impresses no-one.

[vast token]

[alpine tapir]

I had that happen too

[rocky shale]

you're just mad bc u did not get invited 🙄

dont mind the date they got it wrong it was last year

[bleak marsh]

@rocky shale it's a cancer, honestly.

[tired root]

And how is this bragging related to this channel?

[pearl mortar]

Wtf is this? A speed run?

[uncut mirage]

unfortunately copper veins are hard to collapse I've had a complete floating vein and still never collasped and had to mine the whole thing out of the air
Maybe you get lucky but silver is almost 100% collaspable

[turbid crane]

Where. To. Find. Haldor?

[tough hare]

Try more to the outsides of your map.

[turbid crane]

Aaaaight, longer voyage it is then.

The icon still appears in the mini map right?

I have it zoomed out most of the time when I'm cruising along the Black Forests

[bleak marsh]

I got so lucky with traders, geez.

[bleak marsh]

It does.

[turbid crane]

sadge

First time seeing Mistlands tho

[bleak marsh]

Try right clicking all that clutter

[turbid crane]

Nah, I like it.

[bleak marsh]

Like go to your map, in the legend on the bottom right, right click the icons to make everything temporarily invisible, might make your search easier

[bleak marsh]

Me too, I was just saying for your haldor search

[turbid crane]

Yeah, it aight.

Gonna try to sail back to the upper right of my map lol

[bleak marsh]

When he popped for me, I was in-land about 100 meters. Go to black forest islands and just walk inland in a straight line through black forest biomes, he should pop quickly.

Just an idea

[turbid crane]

Yeah I did that a couple of times, as long as there isn't a big mountain at the center on the island I find.

[turbid crane]

I'm literally just gonna break my ship and teleport back 💀

It was so tiring looping around the Mistlands.

[bleak marsh]

YOU GOT HIM HECK YEAH, BUD! 🥳

[steep tusk]

Just going to say "inb4 he was right here"

[turbid crane]

Xd

[turbid crane]

Thanks btw, all this effort for the Frostner.

and that belt thingy

[steep tusk]

Frostner 🤢

[turbid crane]

Hammer go bonk

[stoic trench]

❤️

[bleak marsh]

I'm an axe man, myself, so I relate

[tired root]

All that effort worth it.

Btw, if you are going to continue your world in 1.0 don't go further up in your map (it seems you arrived to a border of Deep North before finding Haldor). @turbid crane

[inland girder]

wow someone is dedicated with a terrible luck

[viscid fox]

i am having a problem connecting to people decicated servers , the problem is like i can join some server but others i can't despite if it's near my region or not , when i connect to the server it go to the (connecting) screen for couple of seconds then it brings me to the main menu with a massage (failed to connect) but if i used a vpn it let me log into the server / let me go to the password screen , this is with or without any mods i looked for this problem alot and couldn't find any solutoins to it (one thing i noticed most of the server i try to join have crossplay on(and server owners cant turn it off for some reason {even to just test} ) and i saw someone talk about this might be an issue somehow but not sure

[tired root]

There is https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 for dedicated questions on the matter, hope it helps.

[surreal quiver]

Why do my suggestions keep on getting deleted?!?!

[turbid crane]

Will that area not be updated then?

I went in since I was curious.

[tired root]

That small area won't get updated content but terrain changes will likely happen, probably moving landmasses further North (like what happened with Ashlands further South).

[turbid crane]

Oh just the area that was on my map then? Will try to avoid it then xd

[tired root]

New content will always appear in unexplored areas. Note that world generates the content around the proximity of the player and that radius goes slightly over the radius your map is revealed when you explore areas. Already generated content stays locked after content patches.

[turbid crane]

aaight, ty

[karmic hearth]

It's not a bad idea having a portal placed at every trader

[rain sundial]

how am i going to transport these by land?

multiple trips?

[cedar lodge]

cart? (and a hoe to flatten up path)

[rain sundial]

oh ive never thought of the hoe and as for the cart, ive done it once but the terrain generation is so awful that theres 2 mountains (not the biome, but the generation) with a river in the middle

[cedar lodge]

uhm, it depends on steepness of mounts (river can be swimmed across with the whole cart if you pack enough stam), hoe helps a lot but doesn't make miracles, if too messy maybe nearest sea with a cart and circumnavigate, multiple trips as last resort

[viral cave]

Have you considered bringing the base to the ore instead?

[cedar lodge]

right, if it's for equipment you can setup a furnace (all teleportable) and an upgraded forge (with materials in loco), use all the metal for gear and bring back spare metal and forge material in 1 trip

[polar isle]

What is the purpose of taming boars?

[lilac coyote]

Food, mostly.

[steep tusk]

You felt like it?

What's the purpose of putting 4 walls on any structure you build?

[lilac coyote]

To hold the roof up.

[steep tusk]

You can do that with 3.

You can do that with poles and no walls.

[polar isle]

Fair enough, but can you breed them?

[karmic hearth]

Yes

[polar isle]

Is it worth it?

[cedar lodge]

i find it very useful in early game, but only if you manage to find 1 or 2 star boars (finding one is sufficient then selective breeding), regular boars may not be worth the struggle (personal opinion)

[young quest]

I've just had an unexpected raid. I was exploring far from my base and at the end of the day I built a workbench and a portal to return to my base for the night. So only two base structures. I portalled out to my base, slept, then jumped back in the portal the next morning. The "foul smell from the swamp" message popped up while in the portal loading screen, and when I zoned in to the wilderness, a raid was going on. My understanding is that this should not happen with only two base structures.

Possibly there's a small delay between when it checks if there are valid conditions to trigger a raid, and actually triggering the raid, and I just happened to pass through a portal in the middle of it?

[steep tusk]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

[last osprey]

You use boar meat at least as far as the swamp and a lot of leather scraps possibly until Mistlands.
You could just run around the meadows farming non-tamed boars, but breeding is much faster and easier once you've tamed your first pair.

You can also feed boar meat to wolves later on so it's not like they stop being useful

[cedar lodge]

yup it should be 3 structures, this could sound as the best explaination but never happened to me... what happened many times is i forgot i put a standing torch or a storage box in the surrounding area (can be as far away as 64m from the bench/portal), maybe that?

[last osprey]

chests don't cause raids. Only portals, crafting stations and most light sources do iirc.

and wards

[young quest]

That would make sense, but I had never been to that area before and hadn't placed any other structures. The only other thing I can think of is if there was a ruin nearby with a bed in it. I know beds in ruins can't be slept in, but maybe they count as base structures?

[lilac coyote]

Beds do, yes.

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base if you're unsure.

[cedar lodge]

ha! right! i swear i checked the "player base" list more than once but is almost 1400 hours i refrain to include boxes in raid-free outposts, well better late than never 😆 🤦‍♂️

[young quest]

Beds built by players do, but do beds found in ruins? You can't claim them or sleep in them, so I wonder if they are really the same entity type.

Best avoid or destroy them, anyway.

[rain sundial]

this is a solid idea unironically...just have to make multiple outposts

[cedar lodge]

or just make a temporary one, consume resources, then portal all back home (i do this a lot for ore deposits and swamp patches)

[rain sundial]

interesting

[last osprey]

i just forgot beds until DereK mentioned them so you're hardly the only one 😂

[lilac coyote]

I love how people go to the effort to capitalise the K. It wasn't even my idea.

[last osprey]

If i'm bothering to write out a name i'm writing it out properly. I don't know why the K is capitalized or if it's important to you, but unless you tell me otherwise i'm going to assume it's deliberate

[frosty frost]

Is that from the time you were the King?

[lilac coyote]

I think so. A Smiffe special. I just never got it changed. I like the symmetry.

My name is almost a palindrome as it is.

[cedar lodge]

right, whole username looks quite good like that (hibiscus on both ends as well)

[cedar lodge]

that helped in particular for silver since ore transportation in mountains is a huge pain (but also inducing very fun free-fall boat/cart rollercoaster solutions in some youtube vids)

[last osprey]

Getting down isn't difficult. Doing it in one piece is the challenge

[alpine tapir]

I normally do multiple trips but it is not the best method for sure. using a cart and flattening land is technically more efficient.

[rain sundial]

need to try the flattening thing
i just dragged the cart all the way home

[alpine tapir]

hoes are pretty easy to upgrade to max and they don't weigh much so you can have 2 or 3 of them that last you a good while. that said, if the terrain is hilly enough there's only so much a hoe can flatten so you might need a pickaxe too.

[placid magnet]

anyone know if there is a bug with silver ore in the game?

[cedar lodge]

not that i know of, what kind of bug?

[last osprey]

not that i know of

[placid magnet]

the ore just come out of the ground one i was kill a wolf ore pop out and then one i was mine for it and it come out 10m from where i am out of the ground again

[true steeple]

That’s not a bug. The point where the items spawn is probably underground because the ore isn’t fully exposed, so the items have to teleport because they go out of bounds when spawned.

Try to mine a little deeper around the ore before destroying it

[placid magnet]

and then time i kill a wolf there was not a silver ore where i kill it?

[true steeple]

Had you mined some silver higher up the mountain that could have rolled down?

[placid magnet]

no i was map out the mountain at the time

i know when you mine it it pop out but this time i was not it just come out i look to see if there had been some monster who can have done it but the place was good

the time i was mine it i did see it take hits but how can i hit it 10meter from where i was?

but it took 50+ hit many time in one sec far from me and then pop out on top of the ground far from me

[edgy timber]

Hey there...
I was wondering if you can still tame deathskitoes...
I remember we used to do it with bloodbags, but now we can tame the loxes so I'm not sure if they'd leave 2 animals from same biome tameable...
Thanks

[frosty frost]

You never could do that

[tired root]

Sounds like mod thing that bloodbag thing tbh.

[frosty frost]

The only tamable animals are boars, wolfs, lox, and ||asksvins|| <---ashlands animals (+chickens but they do not have a wild variant/are pre-tamed)

[storm rock]

hey i got a question how do you get rocky in the game

[frosty frost]

You find mysterious rock on the ground 🙂

[storm rock]

where?

[frosty frost]

Meadows and black forest are your best bet, it has to be more than 1000m from the world centre and only in areas not discovered before April 1st 🙂

[solid ridge]

How many different meads can be active at the same time?

[frosty frost]

1 of each type 🙂

[true steeple]

All meads that aren't health meads, stamina meads or eitr meads can be stacked together

[solid ridge]

Ok, thank you

[steep tusk]

<Palpatine Voice> All of them.

[edgy timber]

Probably, yeah...
Thank you.

[spare bramble]

There a semi efficient way to farm chain? Or do i just run around a swamp at night and hope for wraiths?

I guess i could try some crypt chests

[lone dome]

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to Valheim and just got to the swamps although I am having trouble finding sunken crypts. So far ive explored 4 swamps and have only found one, is it just rng or am I doing something wrong?

[steep tusk]

RNG

[lone dome]

alr

[lone dome]

nah its chill, I just found a swamp with like 5 crypts. Thanks tho

[storm rock]

hey can you use black metal scrap on blast furnaces cus i cant for some reason

oop nvm i was accidentally usin a smelter not a blast furnace lol

[weary robin]

are there like drake spawners?

[lilac coyote]

We'd never have them otherwise.

[desert monolith]

they spawn randomly in the mountains as singles. They spawn as a one-off group around eggs (like 2-4 of them, not sure of exact numbers, but a group) - they dont respawn at the egg once killed (like runestones+boars)

[candid sierra]

Has anyone had the issue where multiplayer servers arent working?

we are trying modded and un modded servers and its failing to connect

we tried validating game files, modded with a bunch of mods, modded with a couple mods, vanilla

[tough quarry]

I looked on the world generator map with my seed to see if I can spot the bog-witch trader.
But I do no see the icon on the map (map is also pretty explored) is there a console command to reveal where the bog-witch is, or am I screwed?

Oh I think I see it

[wary nebula]

Sometimes is the installation folder if you have more than one drive the default c:// can cause problems

[edgy spade]

If i want to use mods with my friend how does that work

[ember mulch]

10 hours of gameplay and I made this rinky dinky ahh house 😭

any tips would be appreciated

[tame plank]

Is it normal for asksvins to leap gracefully into the sky?

[tired root]

It's one of their attacks when you are bit further from them. Which sometimes launch them quite far lol.

[tame plank]

I mean into the stratosphere

[tired root]

Care to elaborate? Situations when that has happened?

[tame plank]

Fighting a one star askvin for a flametal node, he’s on a small slope where the lava is and then he leaps into the air, landing when I turn around

[brazen widget]

Hey guys, i am comming back after a long time.
Is there any fix for blurry grass yet?

[true steeple]

What blurry grass?

[brazen widget]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1dtump9/blurry_grass/

people said its because of performance friendly SSAO

But its like this for few years already i think

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1bj206r/is_this_a_graphic_bug_or_is_it_meant_to_be_like/

[true steeple]

I'm pretty sure that's SSAO

[gritty warren]

Hey for tips,

I would find a flatter area rather than having to elevate and pickaxe surrounding rocks and area, but still use it to make the somewhat flat area as flat as you can. Secondly, I’d have an idea of what I’d like to build, get a significant amount of wood, imagine what you want in your head and built a house with different areas for different use, ex; kitchen area with cooling station, cauldron with a few chests for food, storage area, bedroom to store personal belongings if you want and most importantly bed. All an example but these are important parts in a house and you need to imagine what you want

I also don’t recommend to build the house too high, now for detail, I recommend 2 walls height, go for 3 if you want that significant height for a second floor, although I highlyyyyy recommend making it flatter but bigger instead of just high and skinny

[ember mulch]

dude ima do that rn

[gritty warren]

You could also have an overhang with the roof, have another row hanging off on all sides, and add some windows for aesthetic design and purposes, add pillars on the walls to give it depth

[ember mulch]

I was searching for a flatter area but I couldnt find one in the meadows at least

[gritty warren]

Also check some yt videos, they have a good explanation on depth or design

[gritty warren]

How much did you search/how far?

[ember mulch]

the whole of meadows

i've defeated the first boss now

[gritty warren]

There’s still more elsewhere

[ember mulch]

in other biomes?

[gritty warren]

Have you visited the next biome?

[ember mulch]

I've had a look around (not much)

[gritty warren]

Meadows are located elsewhere but I don’t recommend making a base in the black forest

[ember mulch]

so my base should be in the meadows right

[gritty warren]

For now yes

You got pickaxe and what other items?

[ember mulch]

flint items and pickaxe

I havent made a raft yet or anythng like that

[gritty warren]

Don’t, it’s buns lmao

[ember mulch]

oh 💀

[gritty warren]

But the spear is very useful, upgrade it as high as you can

[ember mulch]

oh yeah best weapon I've got

[gritty warren]

Although I personally don’t use it, but it’s very effective

[ember mulch]

how wide should I make the base

[gritty warren]

So, you can defend yourself well with that spear, i recommend going to the black forest and labeling deposits

[ember mulch]

deposits? oh as in like mining deposits

[gritty warren]

Mmmm maybe from the range of 8-14x10-18

[gritty warren]

Yeup, ores located there, there’s two, one is super big, takes awhile to mine, other is found at the shore, read hugins messages, he also tells you

Have you seen the enemies of the place yet?

[ember mulch]

yeah skeletons and the dudes with blue eyes. But I did see some massive blue giant

scared the shit out of me

[gritty warren]

Your biggest worry is that giant

I know man, happened to me the first time

[ember mulch]

hahah 😂

[gritty warren]

Do you know how to dodge roll

[ember mulch]

yeah, but I dont really use it

[gritty warren]

It’s supppppperrrr good, you can use it well against the blue giant, head is his weak spot, pierce it’s weak against, dodge his attack, hit 2-3 times, dodge roll away, or keep distance, hit his head with throw, and retrieve spear, whilst using dodge roll

Might sound difficult at first, it is, but you’ll eventually get it, just stick to 2 hits, dodge roll, 2 hits, dodge roll, go a bit further, get stamina back, rinse and repeat

[ember mulch]

mhm interesting. will use this when I see him

[gritty warren]

His hide is the best, I don’t wanna spoil much, but when you get the choice between metal and that troll option, do troll

[ember mulch]

no spoilers 😂 . oh is there an easier way to move chests? or do I have to take everything individually and make new chests

[gritty warren]

Sadly you have to move everything, also make it organized 🙏

[ember mulch]

yes 👍

[gritty warren]

Also, make significant space between house and walls, because if something BIG (blue giant) hits the fence, it’ll reach to your walls

Also smaller shields are much better than big ones, but whatever you enjoy is the way to go

[ember mulch]

oh I just made the best material shield I could, so it was the bone one

[gritty warren]

I think you should be able to possibly block a troll hit with that

Although I don’t exactly recommend

Have you seen burial chambers?

[ember mulch]

yeah

I've been to one and its quite threatening. im so close to dying everytime I visit one 😭

[gritty warren]

Yeahh it’s tough

Get corewood from the black forest, it’s the tall skinny trees

[ember mulch]

sure

alr thx for the help. Appreciate it a lot

[simple oriole]

I like to build useful crafting buildngs early/mid game if anyone wants a hand

[ember mulch]

I cant fill this bit in 😭 been trying for like an hour

[topaz igloo]

You will probably need some corewood for that

[steep tusk]

Structural integrity has limits.

[viral cave]

When you point the hammer at the adjacent roof pieces, what color are they?

[ember mulch]

ik its red and the integrity is too bad. though it kinda sucks cus its literally just those pieces in the middle smh

[steep tusk]

This is why most people don't build massive until they get to Swamp.

Access to stone building and wood iron drastically changes what you can do.

[viral cave]

See if you can run some log beams on the bottom of the roof

[ember mulch]

I've tried it. ima just make it smaller by two dimensions. should work fine

[viral cave]

Or do a pillar in the middle

[topaz igloo]

Log beams need to have a connection to the ground to offer full support, try running them plus poles into the ground

[ember mulch]

worked. thanks

[gritty warren]

Anytime man

[weary robin]

is it normal that I get less tree seed than trees i cut?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[frosty frost]

Depends on what type of trees 🙂

[weary robin]

I'm interested in both finewood trees bc i was planning to make a plantation of them

[frosty frost]

Then Oaks are your best bet, they drop on average 1,25 acorns per tree, but it is often many trees nothing and then one or two that give you 5-6 acorns 🙂

[weary robin]

hey that's perfect for me

since the plan is to go for big numbers to begin with

[frosty frost]

Yeah, with many of them it should be pretty sustainable 😄 but getting it going is sometimes pain

[weary robin]

well it is something we need to do anyways since we are always running low on finewood on the world i'm playing with my friend

[tough hare]

Can always set the resource world modifier to 3x when cutting down trees.
That way you will get 3x the seeds as you usually do if / when they drop.
And once you got enough seeds / wood, set the modifier back to what you usually use.

[weary robin]

yeah that's also an option i forgot

[mossy sentinel]

Looking for some help with unexpected lag on my friend's dedicated server (Steam / PC). I know this is a long shot, but wanted to see if anyone wants to walk me through a few troubleshooting steps? I've already checked my ping and it's only 30ms. I also tried turning off my Windows firewall and rebooting my gateway/modem. I have really fast internet as well. Anything we might be missing?

[spare bramble]

Could be his connection/server side lag

[weary robin]

can serpents spawn during the day?

[steep tusk]

When storming, yes.

[mossy sentinel]

Others have joined and don’t see lag. Just when I join

[civic lance]

Why are the shadows of my campfire and cooking station violently jiggling around

[weary robin]

so not ingeneral ok, gotta wait until night, is the ocean weather the same as the meadows/black forest/any or it's completely independant?

[true steeple]

The light of a campfire moves around to create a flickering effect. Is it jiggling more than usual?

[frosty frost]

Independant

Each biome has its own weather

[civic lance]

idk what is usual but it sure is distracting ash

[weary robin]

rip gotta sail at night only then xD

[civic lance]

@true steeple

[true steeple]

That seems normal

[frosty frost]

You can look here if you want 🙂 its basically weather forecast for all biomes at each day http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather#1

[weary robin]

thanks

[true steeple]

Try moving the cooking stations so they're more centred.

[civic lance]

Why is that

[true steeple]

The parts closer to the centre would have their shadows moving more

Right now you have the beams on the sides almost directly over the light source

[civic lance]

ig

didnt make a very noticable difference but ig ill just have to get used to it

[civic lance]

Its not really like a flickering effect tho because real fire doesnt cast shadows like that

thats why i find it offputting

[frosty frost]

Well, yes, in real life fire isnt a light source with only one point from where the light shines 😄

[civic lance]

So why not just make shadows stationary/move very subtly

[frosty frost]

Because at least the flicker of the fire is pretty spot on 😄

[civic lance]

what flicker?

[frosty frost]

Fire flickers... moves around

thus casting moving shadows

[true steeple]

Generally the shadows do move very subtly, but if an object is that close to the light source then a small change in light position will move the shadow significantly.

[weary robin]

basically design choice, no point in commenting it imo

[civic lance]

the cooking stations arent moving tho

[true steeple]

The light is moving

[civic lance]

idk if youve ever sat around a campfire but it sure doesnt look like this lol

[frosty frost]

Yes... Because as i said in real life it doesent have single pinpoint source of light but rather the whole fire is source of light, you cant easily replicate that in game...

[true steeple]

The way a real fire emits light is very slow to calculate. In games light sources generally will have a single point in space that all the light comes from.

[civic lance]

the thing is there is not 1 point of light source like you said. The flames that do change position dont give off a strong amount of light, the brightest part stays mostly stationary

or not like you said like asatru said mb

but now i know its not a bug and intentional

[true steeple]

A valheim campfire has a single 'point light' object, which is a point that emits light.

[civic lance]

yeah i get tht

i wish theyd just make that move around slower, here you can see what i mean. Shadows moves a ton whilst im not even that close.

but its just nitpicking in the end

enjoying the rest of the game so its all good haha

[true steeple]

You could suggest a graphics setting for light flicker in #suggestions

[wary nebula]

raid power are based on hanging trophy or defeated bosses?

[true steeple]

Defeated bosses

[jade olive]

There are day time serpents but rare. But light rain and storms in the day they can. All ways mark when you see one at night that is a possable spawn point to revisit next night so you have better luck.

[true steeple]

Serpents don’t have set spawn points

[jade olive]

Well a good spot of accurance to happen again how's that?

[lilac coyote]

As good a spot as any, sure.

[jade olive]

Yeah that's what I ment thx

I need some help terraforming, just came back to the game, architecture student here, i am building a viking era town using some references and papers on historical architecture. If anyone is up just to help me a little and give me some tips i would apreciate that very much 😄

[subtle parrot]

I think that's correct
But you can use bright colors that are visible

[inland girder]

Yeah but for example if i wanted a red sign i cant make it visible without having a light near it

[subtle parrot]

The surface can only go up or down from it's original place 8m. So keep that in mind when planning. You can hold shift (or if on console switch to the alternate use) with the hoe to make smoother slopes. If there's a small bump or dent in the surface use the pickaxe to hit the bump or the hoe to build up a bump in the dent and then use the hoe to reflatten that spot, if you're trying to make a nice flat area.

[subtle parrot]

Yeh pretty much

[lone dust]

Oh, good tips, thanks man. that helps.

takes time... but i'm getting there

[jade olive]

The fixed the glow in a patch sorry

[inland girder]

Im going to kill yagluth tomorrow for the first time in over a year what should i take to the mistlands? Its a long boat ride i think portal resources crafting bench and 10 blackmetal should be fine?

[drowsy crane]

This is fairly accurate, having made shadow puppets for kids as a camp counsellor for over half a decade, this shake is pretty realistic.

[meager token]

Question about the cauldron upgrades.. I looked online and it says the mortar and pestal is the last upgrad to get your cauldron to level 6 but mine still says level 5..

I have the spice rack, the pots and pans, butcher's block and the mortar and pestle

[drowsy crane]

You should use the wiki, you're missing the rolling pins and cutting boards.

[meager token]

Ohhh... the rolling pins and cutting boards isn't even an option for me yet

[drowsy crane]

Ok

[meager token]

Oh.. because it's an Ashlands item

[spice briar]

How do i raise the spawner to get away from the water

[earnest mountain]

I'm petty sure you don't.

[weary robin]

are there any good methods to farm for tar? i'm realizing we are going to need a shit ton of it

[steep tusk]

Define "shit ton" because there are at least 100-200 per pit

[weary robin]

we kinda already ran out of tar from one pit from just the start so...

[steep tusk]

Pits are the only place to get it en masse. And luckily they tend to spawn in groups so it shouldn't be that hard to get the amount you need.

[weary robin]

any idea if the devs plan on adding a bit more reliable ways to aquire tar in the future cause darkwood just looks so good but it rans out pretty fast

[steep tusk]

I would extremely doubt they change it because it is already a plentiful resource.

[analog mist]

I'm not super sure what happened but I went to post an ad in #1024264966712340510, and got timed out. If I need to provide proof my hosting and discord are legitimate that is 100% fine or if it's just straight up not allowed thats totally fine too. Just was curious what the circumstance was :c

[frosty frost]

Did you use any tags? That usually Is the problem 🙂

[analog mist]

I did but it said whatever I posted is blocked because of bad content but I have no idea what that would entail

[lapis terrace]

Did you even read the #rules-and-info when you joined?
you was auto-muted because you broke multiple rules at once

and your DM's are closed so you can't be privatly messaged either

[steep tusk]

👀

[lapis terrace]

yus

[alpine tapir]

wait are you flying to show top-down view or did you build up that high?

[civic lance]

can you rename a chest?

[true steeple]

No, but if you get some coal you can make a sign
The earliest way to get coal is by burning food

[frosty frost]

They are flying 🙂

[sour aspen]

Hello everone! Is there a way to make map discoveries (not pins) from other players my own?

[neon sorrel]

can someone help me, i cant connect to my friend server, i dont know how to fix it.

[frosty frost]

The cartography table and then delete pins

[jagged oracle]

first have you check that you have the exact same version than your friend ?

I had problems before with a server and I needed to go back to previous versions to make it works

[frosty frost]

That should show different message tho

[sour aspen]

How exactly? The uncovered area doesn't change nor can I permanently remove pins from the other player

[jagged oracle]

when you update your map on the cartography table, other players pins are grey, so it's easy to see them and delete it like Asatru said

[sour aspen]

Looks like you have to be whitelisted

[frosty frost]

You copy the discoveries and then right click the other players pins

[sour aspen]

Okay, but that only works until I interact with the table the next time

[frosty frost]

Yeah, there is not a way to copy only the terrain sadly

[sour aspen]

Okay, thanks anyways =)

[civic lance]

how do you repair armor

[tired root]

Look at the workbench you crafted it in.

[frosty frost]

Go to workbench and on the left side of the crafting window is a box with a hammer that should be blinking 🙂

[frosty frost]

You need lvl2 workbench for that 🙂

[civic lance]

ah i see

how do i get that

[frosty frost]

Each item needs at least the workbench level taht is used to craft it for the first time

[frosty frost]

How did you get the leather armor?

[true steeple]

Build workbench improvements around it, they're marked with a star on the build menu

[misty relic]

Hey, I played a few years ago and got kind of stuck. I couldn't survive very long, my buildings always had issues with stability or warmth etc. Sounds like I didn't play the game slowly enough. I want to get into it properly this time

Anyone have a good video guide/text guide for a new player? After searching on YouTube I just see short clickbait videos with massive red arrows etc

[manic gyro]

Is it possible to use the bind command on xbox with a controller? If so, how do buttons map to unity KeyCodes?

[true steeple]

I know it's possible but I forgot where the list of key codes is...

[tough hare]

On the wiki, perhaps? 🤔

[manic gyro]

Found this (not tested yet): https://github.com/DJLink/Unity-Gamepad-Controller-Xbox-button-mapping
If that's correct, it's probably not possible to bind a D-Pad key, since there is no KeyCode for axis...

[spare bramble]

None specifically but it’s worth googling a guide for how support works when building and start small

[meager token]

Any tips for finding infested mines in the Mistlands?

[frosty frost]

Look for blue wisp light lanterns mostly, also the ones with stairs have kinda specific rock formation above them which you can spot even at distance, and check semi destroyed dvergr settlements especially if they have seekers around them since there can be mines in them also 😄

[meager token]

Thank you so mcuh!!!

I've been finding some of that stuff but the buildings are all still inhabited by the Dvergr's

[frosty frost]

Well you can find usefull component there also 😉

[meager token]

I found one last night with a 2 star seeker outside and thought for sure it would be an infested mine but nope.. little dwarf dudes were still living there

[frosty frost]

Mush have been a good show at least 😄

[meager token]

oh yeah for sure haha

[tired root]

How far did you get the last time?

One biggest part of the game is getting prepared against upcoming encounters, food is one of the most important of those preparable things. Each biome offers upgrades to your foods, gear, utility and building/crafting pieces, so keeping your eye on surroundings and collecting every possible material at least once gives you new recipes for your progression. Each boss gives you the means to progress the next biome as intented.

[misty relic]

Not very far. I beat the first boss and struggled in the second biome.

I needed ore I think. I can't remember exactly but I think the enemies got a bit too tough, I struggled for stamina and had to keep returning to my base, which took ages?

I also remember needing ventilation for my house so I built a chimney, but then it didn't count as a shelter and I had to do weirdly cheesey things to fix it :p

[tired root]

You need 2 different ores to craft ||bronze||. Greydwarves can outnumber you easily, but the regular ones are weak and afraid of fire. So using fire arrows with bow or keeping torch on your other hand to keep them away from you are some good strats against them.

[misty relic]

But yes, it seems that food is what I should focus on. I normally hate using consumables in games so I need to get used to that

[tired root]

Also, have you found dungeons with skeletons nearby?

[misty relic]

I don't remember. It was a while ago! I think so? I'm only just starting again now

[drowsy crane]

Best of luck! If anything snags you up just ask about it here, typically plenty of knowledgeable people around.

[tired root]

Yeah, take it slowly, keep your eye on surroundings and pick everything possible, especially ||seed flowers||, mushrooms and berries. You can mark the berry and shroom spots on your map, makes later forage runs easier.

[glad pawn]

Hello i'm new here and I need help. Does anyone know where I can find the world data on steamdeck? I've looked through the steamapps/common folder, where it didn't have any of that data. and also through the steamapps/compatdata/"valheim steam id" folder was completely empty.
Apparently, in that folder, there's supposed to be a handful of folders/files and player and world save data are supposed to be in one of those folders. Idk why mine is empty, since for other games, it had their relevant files/folders.

I've also trying open the game in desktop moade and try looking for the "show player.log" in the bottom left corner of the main menu but it does not appear

[frosty frost]

I do not have steam deck but could it be that your files are on cloud? And not in the devices storage?

[spare bramble]

I usually use small columns at my roof level to raise one piece of roof higher then put the campfire under it on the ground. That way you get ventilation without a hole in the roof and the fire is protected by rain

[glad pawn]

So this data is on a friends account but it's on my deck. I'm trying to take their world data and move it to my PC because we have another issue where I can't connect to them if they have cross-play on. We have 2 friends on xbox, my main friend on my steam deck and me on PC. I want to take their world data and host it on my PC to see if the other friends on xbox can join too.

I also went into the game and found the option to move data locally but the folder is still empty

[glad pawn]

Well i fixed it. All I did was sign in on my account on the Deck and it had their world on it because it was saved locally then i just moved it to the cloud while just being signed in under my account. After just I opened up Valheim on my PC and the would that was only on the deck is now on my PC. I just hope having the cross-play option on does stop them from signing in like it was doing for me.

[odd pasture]

What is the best server hosting for this game?

[lilac coyote]

#dedicated-server might have some suggestions.

[uncut mirage]

I just want an increase in Wood and Stone, is there an option for that?

I don't want x3 on everything, that would make it too easy but building is a area I think need rebalancing on resources

[true steeple]

You can disable build cost, but resource rate can only affect everything.

[steep tusk]

Infinite resources is an area that needs rebalancing? Interesting take...

[uncut mirage]

build cost blank disable is too far as well.

just increase how much wood and stone that's all I want 🙂

[uncut mirage]

the time it takes to collect said infinite resource is the problem 🙂

[true steeple]

Use the timescale command and play the entire game at 2x speed

[uncut mirage]

and the cost at which piece use of that resource I think is too expensive

[steep tusk]

Time of collection is proportional to how massive you're trying to build.
Set expectations accordingly 🤷‍♂️

[uncut mirage]

proportionate size still require inflated cost of resources imo

[steep tusk]

In your opinion 🤷‍♂️

And as Blob has pointed out, the devs have gone out of their way to make tools available to address the problem.
You just don't like them. 🤷‍♂️

[true steeple]

Building resources generally aren't that bad unless you're purposely avoiding the more efficient pieces, such as by building with wood 1x1 pieces or the smallest stone bricks.

[steep tusk]

Stone is plentiful though. Just mine copper.

[uncut mirage]

well in designing a residence using simple piece is not ideal

[uncut mirage]

the abundance of a resource isn't the issues, its the time it takes to collect and the quantity needed for (IMO) a proportiate size base

[steep tusk]

Again - this is a perceived issue that in your opinion needs addressing.
Again - this has been addressed by the developers.

You just don't like their solution 🤷‍♂️
So either A: Work within the available system, or B: Mod. 🤷‍♂️

[jagged oracle]

https://youtu.be/IZRrQUkSgrs?t=92
putting this here (ty Smiffe for sharing), if you take the time to level up your skills it's not that long

[uncut mirage]

am I alone in thinking that stone and wood are some what difficult to accumulate without an extended time spent mining for low conversion to build parts? surely not.

[pseudo kraken]

I came back to valheim after like a year to try modded. I am using r2modman and have about 50 mods installed, for some reason ive started getting like 20fps in game its unplayable.

i7 10700k
32gb ram
RTX 5070

Any help would be appreciated!

[jagged oracle]

for wood, find a farm spot with a slight slope, plant as much trees as you can, as close as they can be, then cut them from the top of the slope and the gravity will do the rest

[uncut mirage]

Is building with stone too expensive? Yes, many people agree.
Solutions provided are a blank no build cost
OR
Blank increase in all resources
I hope the devs provide another solution

[jagged oracle]

for stone, like Sevrahn said, it's easy with copper

[uncut mirage]

all the stone from copper and silver still doesn't make it cheap to build with, only manage 1/3 of a castle

the conversion from mined stone to building pieces is overly expensive sadly

[jagged oracle]

that's only if you want to rush building, if you take time and build in parallel of world exploration it's not that hard

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion #mods-issues

[steep tusk]

If you are a solo-player doing solo-collection and solo-building a castle -- yeah, that's going to take an amount of time unless you turn on free build. As it should.

I think I have a workaround for you. How much more wood/stone do you want in terms of multiplier?

[misty relic]

Hey I saved, died and then reloaded my save. I didn't realise this would leave my grave in the world. Is there a way for me to delete my old grave? I don't want to duplicate items

[jagged oracle]

If you are far enough in the game you can use the obliterator, if you can't I'm sure the ocean is really hungry 😄

[misty relic]

I realise now reloading was cheating maybe? Kinda regret it. Assumed it was like any other game.

It's in a burial chamber atm and my inventory is full

[jagged oracle]

and if there is a real way without cheat, I don't know it sorry

[uncut mirage]

x3 or x5 would be nice
Also my castle ain't that big 🙂

[jagged oracle]

well you can still finish the chamber without touching the grave, and just delete the death icon from your map

once cleared you have no reason to go bak at a chamber

to be clear, just ignore your grave x)

[misty relic]

I might fully restart. I should have died but now my saves have been overwritten I think

[jagged oracle]

maybe if you go in your files, but I don't know enough about this to give you advices, maybe someone else could

[misty relic]

sucks 😦 Guess I'm restarting. I didn't realise this game had a world save and character save that overlap and reloading would cause clashes

[odd pasture]

Thank you

[grim vessel]

Can you restore those separately? Just restore the world and character back?

[uncut mirage]

The other issue is not knowing, so I if spend loads of time collects say 3 or 4 full carts of stone and say that has to be enough and it just isn't then basic perception of time and cost of building vs resources is skewed.
I'm even cutting corners with my current castle, no flash design no inner stairs, just basic towers and walls and the stone just disappears

[steep tusk]

So in the short term, what you can do is go collect stone/wood --> and then just spawn x3 x5 that when you get home.

[uncut mirage]

with dev commands

[steep tusk]

Correct.

[uncut mirage]

no point in spending hours collect stone then lol

[jagged oracle]

or maybe you have mods that can help. I know there are some that add skills on weapons, maybe one of them add an equivalent of efficiency IV x)

or V ? can't remember the most we can have 🤔

[uncut mirage]

I don't want to use mods until I've finished the game after 1.0 is released

[jagged oracle]

if you don't want mod, don't want disable prices on buildings, don't want to just use the console... then just play the game as it should be ^^'

[steep tusk]

Ok then respectfully, don't bring this up anymore.

Because you've aired your complaint, you've been offered 4 separate, viable solutions to said complaint, and you have turned all of them down.

So your issue is yours.

[uncut mirage]

the only solution I can think of is to give myself a lvl 4 black metal pickaxe

[uncut mirage]

well, I was hoping others would have solutions that don't involved mods of dev commands rather than telling me to shut up

[steep tusk]

That's more valid than you think given you can repair it with the lvl one forge, no upgrades.

[jagged oracle]

what's the difference between using commands for some wood and stone and for giving you a high level pickaxe without passing by all the difficulty of the game..?

[steep tusk]

I didn't switch to "shut up" (even though I said it much more tactfully) until you had denied multiple solutions to the problem.

[uncut mirage]

feels more real to use a pickaxe

[jagged oracle]

so, just to agree, what you want is just building and not do the game ?

[steep tusk]

His chief complaint I would summarize as "less collection time for a given amount of resources."

[uncut mirage]

I would like it if stone cost less to build with but I might have to make do with a high level pickaxe

[jagged oracle]

I know but from there to skip almost half of the game ?

[steep tusk]

Most people (not you) run out of stone because they throw it away when mining copper instead of saving it for later.

[steep tusk]

Many players of most games enjoy their idea of the game more than the actual game.

[jagged oracle]

true enough

[uncut mirage]

I kept all mine, but still grossly inadequate

granted I didn't use that much bronze and got most of it from troll miner

[jagged oracle]

if you just used troll for mining the surface then you missed a large part of ore veins

[uncut mirage]

What's funny is I've found the best way to collect stone but it requires the Ashland Troll stav lol
summon that thing over a few massive rocks near some lox and you get (NO JOKE) 10-20 stacks of stone piles

building late game is way easier. Just gotta not do any big projects early game I guess

[steep tusk]

I don't do big projects until Plains tbh.

Swamp is earliest because you need the iron to start using stone.

And tbf @uncut mirage if you start a project in the Swamp when you can first use stone, and just add to it as you continue through the biomes, it spreads the cost over time you'd be spending anyway.

Rather than thinking about bulk production up front.

[bleak marsh]

Tbh, you want smth specific which can only happen in 2 ways afaik.

Mods, or turn on the multiplier ONLY when you go gather wood/stone.

Otherwise, hoarding stone over time like sevrahn just said is the only way to go.

[steep tusk]

I mean you can devcommand it to, like I also suggested.

Go get you wood. Look at the amount, spawn that amount x2 if you want x3, or spawn that amount x4 if you want x5.

[bleak marsh]

Yeah but it feels like cheating rather than tweaking, to me, at least.

Breaks immersion more than the multiplier. Doesn't make much sense, ik, but I empathise with the disdain of devcommands.

[civic lance]

can you rebind rolling to a single button?

[steep tusk]

Odd? Given it is the exact time tweak and timeframe 🤷‍♂️

[bleak marsh]

Yeah, I agree.

It's the most logical solution, but sometimes it just doesn't resonate with our(mine at least) monkey brain for some reason.

[steep tusk]

Stop being a monkey 😉 Problem solved.

[true steeple]

No, but don’t need to press both buttons at the same time. Start holding block first, then press jump when you’re ready to roll.
Also in most situations jumping is better and that’s only one button.

[steep tusk]

In most cases where you're dodging, you're probably already hitting the block button anyway.

[civic lance]

jumping gives iframes?

[civic lance]

i mean i played a lot of soulslikes so attacking as long as possible until dodging is hardwired lol.

[true steeple]

No but it’s high enough to dodge most attacks, especially once you get your skill up enough.
Jumping costs less stamina, doesn’t lock your movement and allows you to perform another animation such as an attack while safe from enemy attacks.

[civic lance]

or can you hold block while attacking

[bleak marsh]

If I did that, I just wouldn't play Valheim, I do the fun things, that's all 🤣

I don't have any complaints with the game btw, devcommands just doesn't feel fun for some ppl. I'm not smart enough to say or know why.

I'm dropping this tho, cause this is a tangent.

[true steeple]

Jump attacking allows you to keep full horizontal movement while attacking

[true steeple]

Yes you can

[civic lance]

ah ok so essentially it is just pressing one button

just gotta hold down rmb while attacking

[uncut mirage]

I thought I had enough stone.... I didn't

[bleak marsh]

My mentality is that "enough" isn't enough.

I need to feel like I have "too much"

[near plume]

You can't have enough/too much stone

[bleak marsh]

Exactly!

Me: "I have 3 reinforced chest's worth. That's clearly enough."

Morgan Freeman: "it was not."

[uncut mirage]

Where do you store 20 carts of stone?

don't say 20 carts

[spare bramble]

21 carts

[viral cave]

In item form near a workbench

[bleak marsh]

I have a storage area with a comical amount of chests dedicated to raw ressources.

So, a comical amount of chests.

[uncut mirage]

yea, I might wait until later in the game to finish this castle lol

[steep tusk]

You stack them 😉

[bleak marsh]

If I used portals, it'd be right next to the portal itself.

[uncut mirage]

all it means is a need a new base until I get to plains

[bleak marsh]

Build it as you go.

When I have a huge project I alternate as such:

Gather ressources until I run out of storage.
Work on project until I run out of ressources.
Advance in the game for a while.
Repeat

Otherwise the tedium takes over.

[uncut mirage]

plan was to build a base near a huge swamp so I can get all the iron but I deicde on stone and didn't plan on how much resource I needed, now I'm stuck with no base and half a castle after 1 week not even done any crypting yet

[bleak marsh]

Man, that sucks. I was almost in your shoes, but I decided on just going with an economical "warcamp" next to the huge swamp, and it was better this way.

Best to leave huge bases as their own objective and not make them based on a single biomes. At least imo.

[placid basalt]

Whilst building large projects I usually live in a shabby little hut nearby, then once i've finished the project i rarely live there long before i'm off, living in another shabby hut whilst I construct yet another palace... and thus, the cycle continues

[glad wagon]

How can I get rid of this? I can't pickaxe it

[steep tusk]

[junior rivet]

The mistlands is too fucking hard, its insane, a 1 star frost mage spikes me from full health 0 when i have frost resist, 100 armor, misthare supreme, meat platter, salad. Its insane. Ive played with a group up to the istlands 3 times, 3 times everyone stopped playing in the mistlands, its too hard and should be changed, I want to play this game with my friends but they all quit here

[deep nest]

I wanted to spawn in some tar and ehh kinda spawn in a giant blob and idk how to remove it

[languid bluff]

sorry you can't remove the tar

Is there a way to make ENTER open chat already set to shout? I wanna speak to everyone from default

[compact heath]

not possible without #mods-discussion at this stage, I don't know if its been suggested #suggestions yet

[odd pasture]

I see

Tyvm

[sinful parcel]

im coming back to the game after awhile, did they disable pufferfish damage to mobs for farming?

[lilac coyote]

The forcedelete command can remove it

[lilac coyote]

Huh?

[obsidian lichen]

Hi everyone. Tell me, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've unlocked and crafted the stonemason's workbench, but I don't have any stone buildings unlocked (walls, roofs, etc.) Is there anything else I'm missing to unlock it?
Sorry for the english (google translate)

[true steeple]

After placing the stonecutter, stone build pieces should be available in the fourth tab of the build menu.
Close the game and open your world again, then check if this tab is still empty.

[obsidian lichen]

I'll try, but I've had the problem for several days now. I've logged out and logged back in several times already.

[true steeple]

Are you playing with any mods? These can often break things.

[obsidian lichen]

I launched it with mods yes but then I went back without

Should I make another world? Or another character?

[jagged oracle]

I suggest you to try make a new world, go in it with just what you need for crafting a stone cutter and see if it works in this new world ?

If you don't know already you can go in another world with your actual character and it will keep its inventory in this new world

and maybe try both with and without your mods, that so you'll see if the problems is from your mods

[obsidian lichen]

I'll try right away

[inland girder]

Why do you only have 100 armor? Or maybe you havent managed to win even one dvergr camp just find one with as little mages as possible and target the mages first then the regulars

[obsidian lichen]

I don't know how, but it's fine.
I launched with the mods on another world and I came back to normal.
And everything is there.
Thank you very much!

[jagged oracle]

no problem, happy you fix it ^^ it is back in your first world too ?

[obsidian lichen]

I think so. Since it's related to the character.
I'll try.

[jagged oracle]

I just forgot one thing I'm sorry and glad that you don't seems to have problem, when your playing with mods, if your character has for example pieces of armor or weapons that are from mods or changed by mods, you should avoid to launch your character in a world with the concerned mods disabled, it can broke your modded stuff ^^'

sorry I didn't mention that earlier

[obsidian lichen]

everything is there. same without the mods 👌👌

[jagged oracle]

cool then ^^

[obsidian lichen]

I only had a mod to destroy resources and repair with one click.
But it doesn't matter, I can play without it.

[uncut mirage]

full frontal attack on a group of 1* or 2 * dvergr mages will almost certainly get you killed.
Best way to kill them is to get to a high point and use archery
Or lure bugs and Gjalls their way.
Melee or magic usually isn't strong enough solo, at leasts that's what I've found

Normal dvergr camps with a weak no star crossbows are fine, maybe one or two low level mages you can speed attack
But STARRED dvergr mages are no joke

[true steeple]

Breaking the crate and running is a cheeseless option if you don't want to fight

[uncut mirage]

Many of the dvergr camps have the extractor in the open so if you can find a Gjall those are easy to get

[uncut mirage]

For the most part you don't HAVE to kill them all to get the extractors just pull of a daring heist and run lol

[junior rivet]

There a single star single verger frost mage that spikes me from absolutely full health, also great advice of "just don't engage with the content/know ahead of time" I'll just also cheat away all the mist in the mist lands while I'm at it.

[lilac coyote]

When was that the advice ?

[uncut mirage]

I didn't say don't engage, I said don't run and gun like they are simple fulings 🙂
Keep your distances and find other ways to kill them

[true steeple]

What food are you using? 100 armor and frost resistance should lower the damage enough.

[junior rivet]

There is no way to kill the 1 star mage, it's insane that it kills you so quickly through so much prep, all my friends have already quit the game for the third time

[uncut mirage]

The whole dvergr presence in mistland and you needing their stuff is NOT very well executed from a developer stand point. They are not enemies but you need what they have to progress and getting it seesm to make them your enemy.
I suppose while that is the current state of dvergr in mistland you can only deal with it by cheesing it or outsmarting them

[junior rivet]

As I already said I'm using mistake Supreme, salad, and meat plates, I'm using frost and fire resist, I have at least 100 armor and despite that a single frost mage with 1 star literally does all of my health in less than a second as soon as he sees me.

[junior rivet]

This is in no way helpful you understand?

[lilac coyote]

Nor is your aggression.

[uncut mirage]

there are other ways to get the extractors that don't involve just fighting them head on with a sword and shield

[junior rivet]

Where did I say I had a problem getting an extractor?

[lilac coyote]

It's the only reason to engage with the Dvergr.

[junior rivet]

Other than existing in the mistlands

[lilac coyote]

Not especially.

[uncut mirage]

why else would you choose to fight a friendly dvergr frost mage 🙂

the only way to piss them off is to try and steal their extractors

[true steeple]

Using the same equipment the mage doesn’t do much damage. Are you playing on hard difficulty?

[junior rivet]

Hey, genuinely take a moment to consider why you're responding this way and how it would be helpful.

[junior rivet]

No, and you're bullshiting me if you expect me to believe that, I tested it multiple times.

[lilac coyote]

He's been extremely helpful and patient so far. You, however have just been a jerk.

[true steeple]

His projectiles are a bit more dangerous but just holding A or D dodges all of them

[junior rivet]

Yeah, advice like "they don't get mad at you" is SO HELPFUL.

Just like the advice of "just move" is helpful when getting hit once fries you from 200 health

[uncut mirage]

so you challenged a 1* frost mage to a fight and bought a sword to a magic gun fight and wondered why you got decimated?

[junior rivet]

Wow, incredibly helpful, thanks.

[uncut mirage]

use range...shoot them with arrows from a distance up on high, they have no way to climb or counter

[junior rivet]

All of my friends quiting the game are back on the server! You did it!

[lilac coyote]

Because they DON'T.

[junior rivet]

Awesome, and that makes fighting them more fair or deals with it better how exactly?

[true steeple]

Their projectiles are only doing 50 damage to me, with level 3 padded armor.

[junior rivet]

Oh, I know, I'll unpiss them off with my time machine.

[lilac coyote]

It means you don't NEED to fight them.

[junior rivet]

A one star frost mage?

[true steeple]

Yes

[junior rivet]

Brilliant advice, thanks. My time machine is being built

[true steeple]

And half of that if I block it

[junior rivet]

Bullshit.

[lilac coyote]

Why even ask for help if you're just going to ridicule it? He's right, incidentally.

[junior rivet]

He's not, I can log in the game and see with my own eye, just stopp responding to me at all okay?

[true steeple]

And you definitely have frost resistance?

[lilac coyote]

Fine, well leave you to your self imposed misery.

[uncut mirage]

I died to dvergr once or twice then changed how I fight them because I really want to keep my skills up
Suppose it might be a good idea to get a new character kit them out with plains gear and see how good you can get fighting them without worrying about dying

they are formidable foes

[ebon marsh]

I find it’s not really worth it in my experience unless it’s from range and they’re in water

[junior rivet]

Yes, several times I went with frost and fire postions on despite the fact that I also had a wolf cape to use. I used them specifically to deal with this one enemy after picking off all his buddies. He has one 0 star yellow mage kinda near him but it doesn't pull and start casting it's misses, there is one, singular, front mage with 1 star spiking me from full health, 16 comfort buff, frost and for potions, a shield, a crossbow.

[ebon marsh]

Frost arrows and draugr fang can make quick work of dvergr in water

[junior rivet]

I can technically make small amount of progress trying to ping him with the crossbow and he will instantly kill me if he touches me at all.

[ebon marsh]

Have you taken into account wet debuff

Double damage from frost when wet

[true steeple]

Frost resistance overrides frost weakness

[junior rivet]

Look at your replies to me and honestly asses if you've done anything other than try to insult me. Why did you reply to me at all?

[ebon marsh]

Oh

Even from wet?

[true steeple]

It doesn’t matter how, resistance always overrides weakness

[junior rivet]

I shouldn't be wet in any case there but frost option would override that in the offchance I am. I'm certain I haven't been, but even if I had.

[ebon marsh]

What’s ur total health and defence

Vs 1 star frost mage yes?

1 star frost mage deals 300 and 225 damage respectively depending on which attack

Down to 150 112.5 with frost resistance

[junior rivet]

Yes, a 1 star frost mage and I had 84 armor I think but I swapped out the root chest piece for padded, I have frost and fire resist, I'm eating meat plates, misthare supreme, and salad or the plains feast.

[true steeple]

The aoe damage doesn’t scale with stars, that’s always 150

I take around 15 damage from it with armor and resistance

[junior rivet]

I honestly don't believe you. That doesn't line up with my experience at all, if I had an easy way to capture gameplay footage I'd show you.

It doesn't line up with what @Igod has said either.

[jagged oracle]

OBS is your friend

[uncut mirage]

do dvergr have infinite eitr or a pool like the player?

[junior rivet]

I've watched my character multiple times go from 200 to 0 and you're describing having worse armor and taking effectively 0 damage by comparison and again it doesn't add up with even the numbers others have provided here. Unless there is some sort of bug in the games code then that just doesn't make sense with all the other information I have.

[jagged oracle]

I don't know if there is a pool but there surely is a cooldown, a timing to take

That's a feeling I had in any case

[true steeple]

15 damage from the aoe, 50 from each projectile
Three projectiles are shot in one attack so that would be around 150 if they all hit

[terse tiger]

For faster wood gathering its best to use light armor or clothes even for less stamina usage?

[jagged oracle]

For me the best way to collect wood stay to use a slight slope, plant as many trees as you can the closer thez can be, and cut them from the top of the slope. The gravity does the rest, and if you have unlocked the cart it's easy to go fast when collecting loots

[terse tiger]

Oh damn Hildir's clothes don't affect tool stamina usage? That`s so sad, would have been a lot more useful if they did

[terse tiger]

I`m yet to build something of that scale, you mean like a quarry with wood falling on top of each other? That's good to know

[jagged oracle]

exactly what I mean ! Trees falling make damage to others trees, so most of the time there are just some strains to cut

[uncut mirage]

just took a new character into mistlands with full plains gear and manage ok with a full tower of dvergr mages
I think the fear of death makes people play worse and make mistakes.

its funny to me that without the consequence of death combat seems to get really easier

A lot of people find Valheim challenging because of the consequences of death, dropping gear, losing skills, so that dictates how they play
Take away those consequences and everything feels easier...I'm shocked I didn't die to 5 dvergr mages in plains gear

[jagged oracle]

that's true not just for games, everything is more difficult when we fear consequences or when we are just stressed by a situation

[uncut mirage]

its hard to play like that when your skills are at their highest and it takes literally hours and hours for 1 level at a time

I'm so scared of losing my skills for magic I lowered the skill drain to 1 because that's the lowest it goes. even though I hard EVER die any more, I play based on those consequences

if there was NO skills drain, I thinik ppl would play Valhiem differently for sure

[jagged oracle]

obviously

but that's way more fun like that x)

[uncut mirage]

is it fun? IS IT?

[jagged oracle]

I find it is XD

[uncut mirage]

or is it a stress making machine

[jagged oracle]

It is a stress making machine, but I like how it "forces" me to adapt my gameplay. Usually I more a head-down player, running in front of every enemies to beat them x) but not in Valheim, it's more subtile

and yeah I kinda like it x)

by being just a little careful it is possible not to die

[uncut mirage]

first time fighting dvergr I got hit and panic'd then ran and died.
Without consequences I would have realised I can dodge and block and parry but instead I panic'd

[jagged oracle]

I prefer that honestly than a to much "peaceful" gameplay, it's more challenging and I really like to be challenged x)

it depends of everyone personnality

[uncut mirage]

the challenge is trying not to panic in a fight

[jagged oracle]

yep, pretty cool 😄

this remenber me of my first putrid hole x))

oh no wait, not this one

the dungeon type in Mistland, don't have the english name ^^'

infested mines maybe

[uncut mirage]

infested mine

[jagged oracle]

I have to admit that my first infested mine frightened me x))

[uncut mirage]

yea, those are dangerous
one I went into was just full of 1* and 2* seekers and soldiers
I think I abandon that one completely

[sinful parcel]

Why can I not get pufferfish on a mount to damage graydwarves?

[misty sage]

Uhhhhhh
So I know the stuff about old explored areas not having new content but I didn't think revealed areas changed. Just looked at my map to see how much "damage" I actually did to Ashlands and discovered that my pin for the portal I placed in a swamp near the Ashlands is now in the middle of the Ocean.

[frosty frost]

Yeah, ashlands update added ocean borders separating ashlands and deep north from other islands 🙂

[steep tusk]

Ashlands water needs to be 5x hotter imo.

[misty sage]

Yeah learned that lesson in the group server

[frosty frost]

This is not #suggestions 🤔

[steep tusk]

Thank you for telling me things I already know 👍

[civic lance]

If im on a server and i go through a portal, will the enemies chasing destroy that portal?

[misty sage]

Ok so the portal is still linked. If I go through it do I just instantly drown or something?

[true steeple]

Only if there are still players around the portal for it to be loaded. Even in singleplayer, always place walls around your portals so they can't be seen. Enemies won't attack a portal they can't see.

[lilac coyote]

Not instantly, no. But you'll have a bad day.

[frosty frost]

Tbh, no idea.

[true steeple]

The terrain will all be much lower, and all objects around will either sink to match the new height, break entirely or remain unaffected. Most build pieces will be destroyed because they aren't supported by anything.

It is probably possible to have an unmodded floating base if you have a mountain affected by this

[steep tusk]

Build base that is stronk like mountain 💪

[frosty frost]

Even black forest is enough 🙂 have kind of "Pandora flying islands" looking stuff on one my seed

[misty sage]

I got a Portal down in a safe place in time. I think this was the single most stressful moment in all the time I've been playing this game. I'm near a Mistlands so I'll prob build a proper base there (or in a biome nearby) once my heart rate goes down and I'm motivated to risk exploring.

[jade olive]

Are there diffrent types of deathskitos out there by chance. I have a spot in the plains near a mistland and every time the deathskitos sound way diffrent. Like there louder more powerful sounding. Kinda intresting maybe a diffre t sound file but its odd?

[true steeple]

All deathsquitos are the same

[jade olive]

Yeah that's what I figured but why am I getting a completely diffrent sound? It's happened a few times. It's a loud buzzing much more then my normal ones. Don't get me wrong it's kinda cool and you know your in trouble.

[misty sage]

Maybe an echo off of a structure or a big tree or something? Idk if the game does that or not.

[abstract spire]

Is there a way to "reset" a trader's location? One of the users/players on a map I am serving was a little bit of a bad apple so to speak. I suspect they used valheim-map world to find hildir at the worst possible location as they made a beeline for her and skipped a couple other possible better spawns. I have 30 days of backups and can roll back before their actions but I was hoping I can be a little more surgical.

[jade olive]

It's happened in an open plains in other places a few times. This spot I shouldn't say every time but better chance there. It dose have a black forest and other surrounding so don't know. But it is pretty neat.

[jade olive]

No once you found it that where it is forever.

[drifting pasture]

hey is there any way to mine copper so the entire vein explode like u can with silver?

[frosty frost]

You could just leave the one already found and spawn another one at better location 🙂 but you cant remove it afaik sadly

[abstract spire]

I don't believe the suito's have any higher star versions. Perhaps it is just due to its location in a different biome?

[frosty frost]

Not the entire one, but if you go from the bottom up usually the last few bits do explode 🙂

[jade olive]

Sure can just do it like silver but you need to make sure you got a lot of space between the copper and land so it will pop.

[drifting pasture]

thanks

[frosty frost]

Nope, no stars for them 🙂

[abstract spire]

Sometimes copper veins overlap with stone in such a way that even if they look separated, they're still close enough to prevent an outright explosion. Other times they might be too close to the bottom of the map and I think pieces spawn out of reach.

[jade olive]

Well you can reload your backup but if your close to that spot again you will trigger it so you may want to find out al the span points first.

[abstract spire]

I banned the user and if I do in fact roll back I will just debug fly to a closer location to prevent that from happening again.

Most of the vikings are kinda young and it was a little mean spirited

[jade olive]

So they were just traveling and found it?

[abstract spire]

They sailed as straight as they could to the hildir spawn. Its not horrible but it is partially under water with swamp on one side, a sliver of forest, and of course the plains

I am not sure if I can post screenshots here

ahh i can't

bnR0qUjmXJ - They went to (-2600, 4100)

[frosty frost]

#screenshots 😉

[jade olive]

Well you know that they will show up from quite a distance. Could could have been a happy accident.

[abstract spire]

Always good to err on the side of caution but the problem viking previously put wardens up on other buildings and was generally a low-grade brat before this.

[jade olive]

Oh well that's not cool

[misty sage]

If they made a chimney or a window or any way into the buildings, you can get in that way. Even if you don't have access, you can still use an axe (or other weapon) to break the Ward. Had to do that in a multiplayer server where a guy stole all of a Plains material that takes time to get. He put it in his house, set up a Ward, and told everyone else he didn't know where it went. A few people jumped in his chimney, broke the Ward, found the stuff, and changed the server password so he couldn't come back.

Also each trader can only exist in one place. Once they appear in that place, all other possible locations are permanently disabled. No way around it.

[steep tusk]

Who is the server owner if I may ask?

Because they can just download the world file locally. Go in with devcommands and nuke all of the banned person's stuff. Then re-upload the cleaned world back to the server for the rest of people to continue with.

[delicate ocean]

Why is the copper knife the only copper weapon in the game? Why is there no bronze knife?

[tired root]

Yes, there is no bronze knife because there is copper knife.

[true steeple]

Probably so players aren’t too disappointed if they have only smelted copper as they would otherwise have a completely empty crafting list.

Why it’s the knife specifically, we have no idea

[delicate ocean]

Thanks anyways

[odd pasture]

I have been building my house for a few weeks now, but trying to make a basement, i am greeted with water... Building floors on "top" of it just leaves me a small space where I am barely able to fit the camera lol. How can I remove it?

[true steeple]

You cannot remove water

[odd pasture]

Weeks wasted then?

[true steeple]

If you want a house with a basement it has to be on a higher altitude

[odd pasture]

Jesus I pouree my soul into it, my wife is gonna be pissed af at me. I know I wont be able to convince her to keep playing 💔

[steep tusk]

You can't. Waterline is a world-wide constant. You have to either raise your entire building, accept you will have small basement, or have no basement.

In the future: This is why most of us dig basement first so we know where the waterline is.

[odd pasture]

There wont be a future. Thanks for the info regardless

[lilac coyote]

You can always build another building, that's always a possibility.

[rain parcel]

I added my friend's steamid64 to adminlist.txt. But she gets message saying "invalid for current content" when trying to use console commands?

[lilac coyote]

Admin commands or devcommands?

[rain parcel]

devcommands

like fly

[lilac coyote]

Other players can't use devcommands like that.

[rain parcel]

your house can be saved using mods. there's a mod that can move entire buildings and u can move it to higher place

[rain parcel]

I thought after adding them to adminlist.txt they can enable devcommands and use fly mode, god mode etc

[lilac coyote]

No, only the server owner or nobody at all in the case of a dedicated server can use devcommands.

[rain parcel]

but chatgpt said it's possible

[lilac coyote]

Well, see, there's your issue. Rather than using a reliable source of information you've asked an AI of all things.

[steep tusk]

Asking a text-generator an actual question 😂

[fathom badge]

ChatGPT just wants to make you happy, it has literally zero concept of facts or truth. It just knows what words often go next to each other, and if it makes you happier to get a positive answer then it will prefer to do that than to tell you it's not possible.

[rain parcel]

someone in reddit also said it possible using adminlist.txt

[lilac coyote]

They may have confused admin commands and devcommands.

[rain parcel]

yeah that's probably it

[rain parcel]

is this right?

[lilac coyote]

Yes, you CAN do it, if you want to install a mod on your game.

[rain parcel]

I added mod serverdevcommands and added my friend to adminlist. Is there something else to do with the mod to enable it?

[steep tusk]

This is all very... #mods-discussion

[lilac coyote]

It's only just gone that way, but yes, technically correct.

[rain parcel]

ok

[blissful wharf]

so i have a problem that i cannot for the LIFE of me fix

i have these equidistant stone

[lilac coyote]

Why do people always take screenshots at night?

[blissful wharf]

i am trying to connect them like such
yet no matter how i try to arrange the stones, they always fall short due to the curve, does anyone have a suggestion of how to properly align them?

[blissful wharf]

i am playing with a lot of other folks, cant make time pass by sleeping rn oof

[dusty socket]

1, What's the best way for leveling up element magic?
2, what's a method for killing Fader. Weapon/build

[steep tusk]

1. Use it? Frost staff shoots the fastest so that would be the fastest way.
2. Make his HP reach zero before yours does.

[jade olive]

Hey All is not loss you just built to low is all. So I know you might not like it but just build up is all. Set you basement to the way ya want. No need to destroy everything but just take a conner and go up higher. Once you got that set you can take down a bit at a time and go off that new spot. Sure it will take time but you can save it.

[lilac coyote]

Took me a while to remember what that conversation was on about it was so long ago.

[compact heath]

1. Make a hole, trap a golem in it, build a hut with a fire nearby and shelter so you get rested / resting buff, eat eitr food and shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot
2. Primal axes, staff of the wild, staff of protection, flametal pants and helmet, root chest, fire mead, rata and lightfood mead, stamina and health meads, eit 1 health 1 stam 1 eitr food, thats how I do it most easy

[steep tusk]

Way too many staves for Fader.

[compact heath]

2 staves? works extremely well, everything else is harder (for me) to kill him with then primal axes and the 2 staves

[steep tusk]

If I have axes I have no staves.
If I have staves I have no axes.

[compact heath]

Yes but then you are not a hybrid combat mage like I am

with HSE food

some people do melee, some do ranged, some do magic, I do melee mage

[abstract spire]

I guess I didn't make it clear. I am the server owner and operator and I've done that but wanted to also reset hildir

[misty relic]

Hey. I just finished my first house and I added these 2 open windows/balconies. Is this fine to do? Or does it mean there isn't enough shelter or it gets too cold?

[compact heath]

Its fine, you only need the sheltered buff for some crafting stations and for your max comfort area of the house and for your bed when wanting to sleep

it doesn't get too cold, that only depends on how close to the fire radius you're standing, the windows don't let cool air in like in real life

[misty relic]

thank you! 🙂

[frail cave]

Just got some Iron, I'm on full bronze armor level 4, If I make an iron pickaxe and some frozen meads would It be enough to take explore the mountain and mine something?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

Main iron things you need:

• Forge Upgrades
• Buckler
• Mace
• Pick (You already mentioned it but adding for other people)

After that you're pretty much set until building materials and Padded.

[frail cave]

Thank you!

[compact heath]

Yes, some people do it in troll armour, but there is also better armours you can use like root, but totally possible in bronze level 4 if you want to

[frail cave]

Thanks!

[steep tusk]

Rag -> Bronze/Troll -> Wolf is my usual.

[compact heath]

Also swamp is my second favourite biome but lots of people don't like it as much as I do, I often spend more time there to get things

[frail cave]

Every second In swamp kills me inside, got an abomination and spectre after me AGAIN

[compact heath]

Naked > Troll > Root and then either Fenris or heavy starting with wolf or padded is often my path

[steep tusk]

Become one with the Swamp and it can no longer harm you.

[rich solar]

Hey. I am trying to get a server setup for my friends and am running some mods. I have Judes Equipment and Epicloot downloaded but I think epicloot is making the set effects on jude equipment not exist. Is that something I can fix?

[steep tusk]

#mods-issues #mods-discussion

[compact heath]

Wraiths don't like fire, abominations don't either 🙂 You can run them around a surtling spawner or use fire arrows for instance

Also biomes are more dangerous at night, the wraiths only spawn at a set location when first visiting it, they don't respawn during the day at all

[lilac coyote]

Wraiths do spawn at night.

[viral cave]

There are both one-time spawns that happen at structure generation for certain structures and non-exhaustible night spawns that despawn during the day.

[compact heath]

Thats what I said, they don't respawn at day

[lilac coyote]

'the wraiths only spawn at a set location when first visiting it' - Suggested otherwise, but I may have misinterpreted you.

[compact heath]

I just missed the bit about the night did not say it directly, but I implied it from the second part, agree on that haha?

[fleet flame]

the save data is stored in a Proton prefix — but not directly in the compatdata/[AppID] folder as you might expect.

[karmic hearth]

Did you manage to get it right? If not, just do the angled stones first and fill the gaps. You have to adjust your snap points so the stones stick on the outer upside corner and they will probably overlap but no one will notice tbh.

[civic lance]

can you destroy your boat easily with the build or something else?

or is it only destroyed by whacking it

[true steeple]

You have to damage it until it breaks

[civic lance]

Yo

[civic lance]

How do you get a ton of queen bees

[tired root]

Run around meadows and search all wooden shacks you find.

[civic lance]

Do they respawn?

[vale thorn]

No.

[misty relic]

I was trying to find a way to place beehives but every YouTube video for them has them clipping into walls. Is there a good way to have them without clipping?

[placid basalt]

i usually just stick them on top of a sunken 2m corewood pole tbh

[frosty frost]

I simply place them in somewhere in the meadow spaced out with fence arouánd them, kinda like real life. 🙂

[ionic hemlock]

Hello, I have an inquiry. When I was fighting bonemass, it's attack where he throws a ball of goop which should summon mobs didn't spawn anything. I play with no mods and enemies like skeletons or blobs we're not present at the fight at all.

[frosty frost]

Did it happen only once or each time he threw the goo ball?

[ionic hemlock]

Every time he threw the ball, no spawns

The fight was also around 10 mins, I was using a sword to level up the sword skill

[turbid crane]

how to topple

I can't dig deeper because I'll just start swimming

nvm got it to drop

[civic lance]

can you remove the sailing icon

[turbid crane]

had to pick off some parts

[buoyant peak]

ctrl + f3

[civic lance]

i mean kinda sure

[odd pasture]

Why is this red if I hace pillars underneath it

[bleak marsh]

Are the pillars grounded/highlighted blue?

[odd pasture]

No, gree

[steep tusk]

Because stone is heavy?

[odd pasture]

The floor is blue

Pillar on blue floor is green

[bleak marsh]

There's your issue.

You'll only be able to buuld up a certain amount even with pillars, make sure they're connected to the ground.

You could raise the ground, use iron beams, or use more pillars.

[odd pasture]

Multiple pillars dont seem to make a difference

[bleak marsh]

Odd

[steep tusk]

Because stone is still heavy.

[odd pasture]

If I raise the ground the stone floor can't be there

[steep tusk]

Structural building limits are something you learn by playing around with the system.

[bleak marsh]

Maybe with wood/iron pillars?

Replied to the wrong person

[steep tusk]

Wood pillars no.
Woodiron yes.

[bleak marsh]

I don't see why the other bricks are staying up, but that specific one won't cooperate though

[odd pasture]

Wood pillars didn't work either

[frail cave]

Any hints for fishing?

[steep tusk]

Bait. 😉

[bleak marsh]

Okay those should absolutely work, tho. They are blue. So those bricks up there should be green. I'm a bit dumbfounded rn, ngl.

[frail cave]

I do use bait

[steep tusk]

So yesterday we established that running HHH food is pointless.

Fishing is when you run SSS.

[frail cave]

Oh, thank you!

[bleak marsh]

Try replacing pieces/connecting new ones.

[steep tusk]

No, those would do nothing because it is core wood.

Core wood doesn't hold up stone.
Because, again, stone heavy.

[odd pasture]

I realized my floor and "roof" (upper floor) are not aligned, would this be the reason?

[steep tusk]

No.

Stone.
Is.
Heavy.

You can't do what you're wanting to do until you have woodiron.

[bleak marsh]

By"Stone heavy" you mean "you cannot use stone constructions horizontally unless the touch the ground" ?

[steep tusk]

That is the gist of it. Yes.

[bleak marsh]

Kinda weird that woodiron holds up stone better than stone.

[steep tusk]

The building system and its limits are well documented.

[bleak marsh]

Yeah, sure.

[odd pasture]

Oh, sorry man, but I did not get that from just saying that "stone is heavy" like I know is heavy, but stone isn't too heavy to not be hold by more stone. I will get some iron and try that

Thanks and also @bleak marsh for the help

[bleak marsh]

Anytime, buddy.

[bleak marsh]

Also this may help in future builds. Might not be the issure for what's happening rn, but it could definitely help track your build's stability more consistently if things are simmetrical

[placid basalt]

its because you dont actually have anything holding that stone up, its just floating attached to the side of the column

[soft frost]

i restarted my game but the glass still seems like this, any advice?

[placid basalt]

if not mods then i dont know, try verifying files through steam maybe?

[soft frost]

@placid basalt the classic, worked

[placid basalt]

That was fast, i often forget how tiny the game is in Steam (without petabytes of savefiles)

[soft frost]

we are too used to shitty developers not decompressing their files and leaving very simple games with hundreds of gigs

[bleak marsh]

Buddy, I figured it out.

Anything in the "heavy build" category cannot be held up sideways no matter what.(must be what sevrahn was talking about) You can put iron beams "inside" the stone which will work as a support. Stone will hold stone up, but it needs to be directly under it, normal wood doesn't work.

[steep tusk]

You don't have to put them inside. You can just run the ironwood sideways like the support beams in any irl building and then place the stone slabs on top.

[placid basalt]

Iron cage floor also work really well for support

[odd pasture]

Sadly I do not know much about buildings or construction in general

Is there a command to remove all "loose items" on the ground?

[true steeple]

removedrops

[placid basalt]

removedrops

[bleak marsh]

That's good to know

[bleak marsh]

Same tbh

[steep tusk]

Just make sure the vertical aspect of the ironwood reaches down into the dirt itself for maximum stability points.

And you'll be much happier when you reach black marble.

[odd pasture]

Would that mean to remove my stone floor?

[steep tusk]

Huh?

[bleak marsh]

You can clip the ironwood through the stone, like either put it on the edge or through it directly so it becomes grounded(blue)

[fathom badge]

Having it so it touches ground, or a rock or a tree as well. Any "permanent" object counts as ground for building from. I use that to build high up on the spires in the plains.

[bleak marsh]

Ends up looking like that.

[steep tusk]

It's beautiful.

[bleak marsh]

Sorry for the disgusting screenshot, I have issues capturing real screenshots

[tired root]

F12 on Steam is not working?

[steep tusk]

Only thing disturbing me is your hotbar.

😁

[placid basalt]

snipping tool my man, windows key+shift+s

[steep tusk]

Or flag-shift-r if you want video.

[bleak marsh]

Relatively new to M&KB, lmao.

1,2 is melee, 3 bow, 4 is build/farm,etx, 5 health, last 3 food. Makes sense to me, but I'm sure it looks cursed to veterans 🤣

[viral cave]

I prefer to keep food out of the hotbar and just open inventory to eat

[bleak marsh]

I don't have windows. To share a proper screenshot here, I need to close valheim, my shit is busted.

[steep tusk]

General Setup:

1. Melee
2. Axe
3. Pick
4. Hammer
5. Hoe/Cultivator
6. Potion
7. Bow
8. Shield

Exploration Setup:

1. Melee
2. Potion
3. Potion
4. Hammer
5. Potion
6. Potion
7. Bow
8. Shield

@bleak marsh keep in mind I have an MMO mouse so the entire 1-8(12) hotbar is just "my right thumb"

Corsair Scimitar, to be precise.

[bleak marsh]

I'm jealous

[steep tusk]

They should still be on sale on amazon 😭

[bleak marsh]

A full brownie 😭

I can't afford it, but it's wishlisted. Looks comfy.

[odd pasture]

Worked thabks man, you're the best

How can I support a roof without having pillars down to the floor?

[steep tusk]

Ironwood.

[bleak marsh]

From the yellow color, it looks like the full roof will hold as it is.

But yeah ironwood as pillars, or ironwood included in the walls/roof.

[odd pasture]

The ironwood should be in the inside or the outside?

Ok ironwood beams are yellow, roof is blue/green. Is that good?

[bleak marsh]

Depends on you, it's all aesthetics.

The most efficient would be a straight up pillar, but you could put the ironwood as part of the framing of the walls to make it more subtle. Idk if that makes sense.

[bleak marsh]

Yup!

[odd pasture]

Yeah that's what I did

Some poles are orange ... Should I worry?

Why is my hearth yellow -.- is directly on Stone floor

[frail cave]

Just made the root mask, should I stop using poison meads and leave them to my friends?

[bleak marsh]

Only if you intend to build further out. I think you'll be fine.

[steep tusk]

Why are you so obsessed with color?

[bleak marsh]

Hearth dont have a lot of structural strength, but that's okay, you're not putting anything on them other than cooking stations, so it's not a problem.

[bleak marsh]

He's trying to understand the game

[steep tusk]

Tip 1 for understanding: Ignore color entirely unless you can't build.

If can build - why are you looking at color at all?

[bleak marsh]

Also even if the color is yellow or red it's okay as long as you're not about to build more on top of it.

[odd pasture]

I am not

[odd pasture]

Alright, thabks a lot

[steep tusk]

Um... you have mentioned it in like 90%+ of your posts so...

[odd pasture]

Because bad color = less health against raids

[odd pasture]

I have mentioned many things, do not mean I am obsessed with them

[bleak marsh]

No, it still retains as much health, I'm pretty sure.

[odd pasture]

Please be respectful. As @bleak marsh said I am trying to understand the game is all... No need to reply to whatever I say if its thats annoying to you

[steep tusk]

Structural value and HP are different metrics.

[spare bramble]

Color is not reflective of an items hp

[bleak marsh]

Sevrahn, please de-escalate.

[odd pasture]

Ah, I see... Tyvm ❤️

[steep tusk]

I'm sitting so... I need to lie down?

[spare bramble]

Yalls threshold of rudeness when simply being asked a question is…odd

[bleak marsh]

De-escalating refers to potential conflict, if any tension or argument happens, it's in everyone's best interest to take a step back and de-escalate the tension to avoid conflict and gain better understanding of our peers. 🙂

[spare bramble]

But he didn’t create any tension? You guys imbued an emotional tone that likely didn’t exist

[steep tusk]

Welcome to text medium 😄

[spare bramble]

Exactly. Everyone seems to default to the rudest tone reading possible for some reason

[steep tusk]

Internet 🤷‍♂️

[bleak marsh]

I think when Sevrahn was saying things like "stone heavy" and calling someone obsessed was a little instigating.

[frail cave]

I do the same, but I know Its a me problem and when I get overwhelmed I just log off and relax

[steep tusk]

Stone is heavy.
Stone is also, as you pointed out, in the HEAVY tab.

[spare bramble]

That’s an overly sensitive assumption of a fair question 🤷‍♂️

[frail cave]

But Idk, you all are cool people so I will just observe

[steep tusk]

Log off == go woodcutting? 😏

[spare bramble]

Understanding why the color was so important elicited his misunderstanding of how it relates to the hp of an item. Now he knows better

[steep tusk]

Understanding how not important color is was the point.

[nova mica]

HI THERE FOLKS , IM hosting a game for a about 200 days now and my friend is unable to join , the server is modded , but even in vanilla he cant join me what would be the problem here ? he can join my other friend no problem but not me ,
he just did a factory reset
he aint on the ban list
not using vpn
HELP WE ARE AT OUR WIITS END nothing seems to work
HELP

[frail cave]

I wish I could lol

[bleak marsh]

You guys are always right in terms of mechanics and yall are super well intentioned, but you are very clumsy when it comes to understanding others and just being respectful. I'm just trying to make you guys understand how you come across.

[frail cave]

On my point of view, I agree with Coxwab

But I'm fairly sensitive, so I don't comment It by myself

[bleak marsh]

TLDR; this server, at times, is very un-welcoming. That's all.

Love you guys and the community all the same.

[subtle parrot]

Love the name

[subtle parrot]

That's likely a connection issue, possibly due to firewall or something else, maybe your connection as host isn't great? #dedicated-server folks might have better experience and knowledge with hosting

[steep tusk]

Interesting conclusion to come back to. 😄

[spare bramble]

Internet 🤷‍♂️

[west thicket]

Anyone want to help kill Moder?

[viral cave]

Resistances don't stack, similarly to Dungeons and Dragons. So yes.

[viral cave]

#1024264966712340510

[frosty frost]

In this case the potion gives you greater resistance than the mask tho 🙂 so it might be preferable to get a heavy set helmet and still use meads

[viral cave]

Oh shoot, didn't see that detail lol. Thanks for pointing that out.

[frosty frost]

[frail cave]

Thanks for both of you! I was just thinking about using the mask when exploring and only use the meads when I engage In combat

[frosty frost]

That would be great compromise i think 😄

-# and you can always use the secret Joestar technique if things get too dicey xD

[frail cave]

"Nigerundayoooo!"

[steep tusk]

Joemama technique.

[lilac coyote]

Say what?

[frosty frost]

It is an anime reference 🙂 related to the mentioned "Joestars secret technique" which is just running away. It basically means "Run awaaaaaayyyyy!!!"

[true steeple]

Using less meads means spending less neck tails ❤️

[delicate ocean]

What's the difference between #valheim-chat and #general ?

[true steeple]

Conversations in general don’t need to be about valheim

[delicate ocean]

Thanks

[lilac coyote]

That first bit concerns me.

[frail cave]

I know how It sounds, but If you do a quick search It will show that It means "run away" In Japanese

It's just a joke about the anime

[bleak marsh]

Niga means you in korean

And a bannable word means black in spanish. Similar word for french.

Those letters in that order are just offensive in English, or in a certain context.

[viral cave]

In a similar boat, "那个" (pronounced "nah guh" or "nay guh") is the Chinese equivalent of "um" in English.

One of my friends with Chinese parents has some interesting stories involving his mom, this phrase, and black families in supermarkets.

[frail cave]

Languages are funny

[odd pasture]

Is there a way to make him green again? He is red and does not come back into the hut after killing all enemies

Nvm he died to an abomination

[topaz igloo]

That thing is surprisingly strong, it absolutely kicked a wraiths a** in my game

[true steeple]

Creatures don’t have armor so they’ll take much more damage than players

[odd pasture]

Do I miss out on something by getting him killed?

[true steeple]

He respawns

And he’ll be friendly again

[odd pasture]

Thanks

[iron talon]

Where can you rent a valheim dedicated server the cheapest and reliable?

[spare bramble]

Id ask in #dedicated-server - but keep in mind that ‘cheap’ and ‘reliable’ are typically opposing concepts

[polar berry]

any mods that work like damage meters in wow? @ me or DM

[true steeple]

Ask in #mods-discussion

[versed yoke]

What's this stuff for

[jagged oracle]

food and armor if I remember well

[versed yoke]

No recipes showed up though

[true steeple]

You need new crafting stations for most mistlands equipment

[jagged oracle]

and you need to lvl up your kettle

[versed yoke]

Oh that would explain it, I haven't killed the elder yet

[jagged oracle]

oh, that should be why XD
